MINISTER MENTOR LEE, PLEASE PICK A FIGHT WITH SOMEONE OF YOUR STATURE.

Minister Mentor Lee, you are very wrong to insinuate that our non-bumiputra political leaders are absolutely beholden to the government of the day and that we, non-Malay Malaysians are being marginalised.
We have never felt marginalised despite the unfairness of our education system when all it takes to secure a place in any public institution of higher learning or to obtain a government scholarship is ethnicity first and only then scholastic ability. We do not think that we are being marginalised even when our government closes Chinese and Indian schools and that no Chinese primary schools have been planned under the 9th Malaysia Plan whilst more national type and Islamic religious schools are being built.
And it is all right with us when building approvals for temples and churches take donkey years to be processed - only to be rejected.
Mr MM Lee, we have absolute faith in our own ethnic leaders when they tell us that we are still okay even when public listed companies are forced to comply with the minimum 30% bumiputra shareholding and that there is no necessity to request for reciprocation when a company is 100% bumiputra owned.
Incidentally, your comments about how our UMNO run government prefers its Chinese political representatives to be compliant is simply ridiculous. Have you not seen yesterday’s newspaper? Two senior leaders from two different political parties have stood their ground and have castigated you for upsetting their political boss. We believe that our non-bumiputra political leaders are far more upset over your observation of their “social-economic fruits” just by being political eunuchs.
So Minister Mentor Sir, surely you can find some one of your own stature to pick a fight with and ----- though it will be an intellectually uphill battle even for you, do find something pleasant to say about our non-Malay leaders ------- please?

Kuan Yew's comments misleading, says Najib.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak yesterday ticked off Singapore’s Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew for saying that Malaysian Chinese were being marginalised systemically.
Lee told a forum in Singapore last Friday that it was vital for Singapore to stand up to its bigger neighbours, Indonesia and Malaysia.
"Our neighbours both have problems with their Chinese. They are successful. They are hardworking and, therefore, they are systematically marginalised."
Indonesia and Malaysia "want Singapore, to put it simply, to be like their Chinese — compliant", Lee said.

SOME DREAMS ARE TOO BEAUTIFUL TO COME TRUE.

Let us be very clear about this. Incompetent builders of hospitals who do not complete and handover the buildings on time are Murderers. Their inability to deliver on the expected date would mean one thing - that lives were lost when it could have been saved if the projects had been completed on time.
The Minister of Health has rightly commented that those contractors who were involved in the delays should not be given future hospital projects. But why is this ban confined to only hospitals? Are schools, police or army quarters and other government buildings any less important?
Since transparency is the watchword for the UMNO run government, the Warong kopi would hazard to dream that the names of these undeserving but well-connected companies and their directors
be published, documented and officially banned from all future government projects.
However in reply to my wishful thinking, my "kakis" at the warong-kopi have borrowed a line from the television series Desperate Housewives -- “Some dreams are too beautiful to come true”

Inept builders caused delays 22 hospitals delivered late, says Chua

Incompetent building contractors have been blamed for delays in the completion of 22 government hospitals under the 8th Malaysia Plan.
Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek said these hospitals were completed between a month and three years behind schedule.
Dr Chua said that to ensure delays would not recur, future hospital projects would only be offered to qualified contractors through tenders. Source

THE MOLESTATION OF LADY JUSTICE BEGINS WHEN .....

Whilst testing out his newly acquired symbol of power this 25-year-old security guard pulled the trigger of his pump gun. He shot 3 Vietnamese and a local - people of no real consequence to this guard. The guard in fear then fled the scene.
Two weeks ago an ambitious self-appointed 30-year-old guard tested his newly acquired power as the deputy head of the UMNO youth when he pulled the “my race and religion versus your race and religion” trigger. His racist provocations to 7.5 million of his fellow citizens were to him - a means to his ambitious ends.
For the accidental shooting incident the 26-year-old guard was detained by the police to assist in the investigation of the case. For his deliberate racist remarks, the 30-year-old self-appointed Oxford educated guard will be quietly feted as the guardian of his race and religion and honours waits for him.
The molestation of Lady Justice begins when political morality crumbles and
begins to circumvent the law of conscience

Pump-gun goes off.
A TRADER said she was alarmed when she saw a (25 year old) guard fiddling with his pump-gun in Tesco Shah Alam yesterday just before it went off and wounded two men.When Rashida Abdul Rahman regained her composure, she saw two Vietnamese men grimacing in pain and holding their bloodied legs near her Streamyx stall.
It is learnt that the security guard had accidentally pulled the trigger while examining his weapon.
