Can't wait for July...

Hey Folks,

BAck to the world of blog!

New Aussie PM:

Talk about turn of events; Australia has a new PM and she is a lady. What an achievement. Women Power still going strong.

French is out:

What a crying shame, the former World Cup Champ is out of this year's world cup. Obviously, with the internal bickering it was already doom for them to be out. When u have a team that is not united anymore, forget playing football. They need total revamp.

Reduction of subsidies?

Several weeks ago, the government were considering steps in reducing the subsidies in order to control the country's deficit. Well, we do understand that if things are not change for the better, the country can come into lots of problem economically and financially. However, any reductions must be made very gradually or subtle manner in view of the average Malaysian who really earn enought just to feed his or her family or just himself. Not to say we need to be spoon fed, but when you say reduction of things like subsidies; fear and anxiety start to come in...

Cheerios!

the week it was...

Hey Folks,

BAck to the world of blogs and yes it is the second week of June.

the Gaza episode:

Last week was really a dramatic times for Malaysia. Malaysians and other international citizens were involved in the Gaza flotilla and were caught by the Isrealis commandos. The objective of the flotilla was purely simple; to deliver food, clothing, and medicine to the Palestinians in Gaza. Praise to Allah, that after one of the most tense and dramatic moments, all Malaysians were released.

One thing for sure, what the world witnessed is the Isreali Government act of arrogance and self denial. As expected the USA was silent and didn't really demonstrate much firmness in this whole event against Isreal government. It seems that the USA closed one eye and just simply let this whole event goes by. President Obama should have taken a big step in order to gain confidence of all the Muslim countries by interefering and show that the US as the sole world power can control Isreal and not the other way around as witnessed by the World. Unfortunately, Obama was buzy with the Gulf of Louisiana oil leak. Perception says Isreal is the master and rest of the world is just an observer or servent and nobody can intrude or even advise them of anything.

Malaysia or any other countries be it Muslim or not has been a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause and it is really got nothing to do with religon nor race. It comes to the universal principle of one's right to form a sovereign and independent country which is an independent Palestine. If the USA or any major Western Countries goes preaching democracy, then why is Palestine is purposely left out? One can punish countries like Myanmar or Zimbabwe or North Korea, but look at Isreal. Isreal says they preach democracy, but really at what expense. The United Nation can't do much except making statements and verbal objections and Isreal government just don't care.

As mentioned by former PM, Tun Dr Mahathir, as long as the fundamental root cause which is the Palestinian issue remain unsolved, nothing really change for the better and this clearly showcase what we see in Afgahnistan, Iraq, Iran, West Bank, Gaza and other trouble or unstabled parts of the world.

At this very moment, the clock continue to tick every seconds and minutes, and the cry, the wailing, and suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank continues till this very day. Our prayers goes out to them for their longevity in strength and survival in this unfriendly 'jungle'.

Cheerios!
