是谁把事物复杂化？

简单事复杂化，似乎一而再而在家庭，社区，会馆，学校，政党，办事处 。。。发生。

.

.

为什么？因为人嘛！为什么？因为人有感情有脑胞，对事情的看法凭视觉凭感觉凭听觉。总之，眼所见不为所欲，脑所思不为所欲，心所感不为所欲，耳所听不为所欲，就总爱复杂化及让它'乱'！


在此转贴东方日报在2009年10月29日，'自我管理' 一栏刊登的这篇'是谁把事物复杂化？'。


话说某报举办一项高额奖金的有奖征答，题目是一个充气不足的热气球上，载着三位关系世界兴亡命运的科学家。


第一位是环保专家，他的研究可拯救无数人们，使地球免于因环境污染而面临灭亡的厄运; 第二位是核专家，他有能力防止全球性的核战争，使地球免于陷入灭亡的绝境; 第三位是粮食专家，他能在不毛之地运用专业知识成功种植食物，使几千万人脱离因饥荒而亡的命运。


此刻热气球即将坠毁，必须丢出一人以减轻载重，使其余的两人得以存活，请问该丢下那一位科学家？


问题推出之后，因奖金数额庞大，信件如雪片飞来。在这些信中，每个人皆竭尽所能，甚至天马行空地阐述他们认为必须丢下那位科学家的宏观见解。


最后结果揭晓，巨额奖金的得主是一个小男孩。


他的答案是: 将最胖的那位科学家丢出去。


事物的本质往往是非常简单的，只是人们总爱把它们复杂化罢了。


目前闹得沸沸扬扬的党事，简单化错综复杂事由。放下身段，搞清来由，舍去情怨; 往后推，究启端，察过程，得结论。

你不够格

今早在东方日报和星洲日报看了两则新闻，东方日报的大标题是 "轰搞垮自贸区 2议员促交长下台"，星洲日报的大小标题是"指搞砸巴生港口自由区计划 邦莫达:翁应辞交长"。不看则已，一看又是那专门在国会搞局的缡线人物邦莫达就火滚; 即不能在国会里与这2议员辩驳交涉，就在此发文告强烈表达不同意他们的狡言。



马华格拉那再也区会主席王钟璇谴责巫统国会议员狠批交通部长言论


马华格拉那再也区会主席王钟璇大力谴责巫统京那马当岸国会议员邦莫达及阿娄国会议员依斯迈哈欣昨天在国会下议院，狠批交通部长拿督斯里翁诗杰。


根据今天两份中文报刊，报道在国会2010年财政预算案辩论时，两位国会议员一唱一和，‘认为交通部长拿督斯里翁诗杰已忘了发展巴生自贸区的责任，没有资格再担任内阁部长，更将自贸区的失败归咎于翁诗杰，应撤换其官职。’


阿娄国会议员依斯迈哈欣说 ‘巴生自贸区原是一个有潜能的计划，也受到许多投资者的承认，它本来可以创造许多工作机会及财富’ 。京那马当岸国会议员邦莫达说 ‘巴生港口自由贸易区落到翁诗杰手上时，却将自贸区处理得一团糟’ ，他说翁诗杰应将此计划为国家带来利益，却 ‘搞炽热课题成带来混乱，搞砸了这个国家的计划’。


马华格拉那再也区会主席王钟璇，认为以上两位国会议员的言论歪曲事实。一个有潜能的计划，当然可以创造许多工作机会及财富。然而，巴生自贸区这个计划从设立至今，一直是问题多过利益，也一直是人民口中议论纷纷的课题，工作机会及财富似乎只是在一小撮人手中。


当上了交通部长的拿督斯里翁诗杰，了解国民对此课题耿耿于怀，也知道如国阵在这课题上无法处理妥当，将是目前执政及未来的致命伤！毅然在许多人不看好之下，影响多人的私利情况，决然给于巴生自贸区还原的机会。

.

.

究竟是发展问题巴生自贸区重要还是抓正再出发更重要？究竟是搞砸了这个国家的计划事大还是搞砸中央政权事小？何况有没有搞砸，还有待证实。巴生自贸区不是马华的事，也不是巫统的事，更不是国阵的事！巴生自贸区是中央政府的事，更是全马来西亚人的事！做的好不好，做的对不对，不是你们2人来判决！


有没有资格担任内阁部长，更不是由一两位口不择言形象极差眼中心中只有利益的短视国会议员说了算。他们在自已选区工作表现如何，尚待衡量; 在此没有资格去衡量内阁部长的表现或撤换官职的权利！身为国阵份子，不维护同僚的努力，捍卫人民的利益，是不够格在国会发言！

Azmin’s new role is no surprise
By YUEN MEIKENG

PETALING JAYA: Azmin Ali’s appointment as the new Federal Territory PKR chief does not come as a surprise at all, said Malaysian Indian United Party president Datuk K.S. Nallakarupan.

“It was made to keep him happy,” added Nallakarupan, formerly from PKR and once a close friend of party adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He added he just knew that when the vice-president was removed from his position as Sabah chief, a new post would be given to him.

.

Nallakarupan said Anwar could not afford to lose Azmin when asked to comment on Azmin’s appointment as FT chief, replacing Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, the Selangor Mentri Besar. Sabahan Thamrin Zaini is the new Sabah chief.
.

Asked why he thought Anwar could not bear to lose Azmin, Nallakarupan reiterated that both shared a secret which he would reveal in time, unless Anwar or his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail let the cat out of the bag.

.

“Anwar is planning to sue me for defamation on certain things I mentioned in my previous ceramah. I will be waiting for that good day to tell all,” he said, adding that he understood Anwar’s character “inside and out” after being his friend for 30 years.

When I read the above news in STAR, I felt disgusted; not because 'Azmin Ali's appointment as the new Federal territory PKR chief', it doesn't bother me; but a person who claimed 'being a friend for 30 years', and trying to 'reiterate that both shared a secret which he would reveal in time, unless Anwar or his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail let the cat out of the bag.'

Imagine a friend for 30years, when the relationship turned sour due to reasons only the two of them know (so is this again going to be their secret waiting to be disclosed by another person?), Nallakarupan is all ready at any time any chance, to fire and shoot at the person who was once his close ally. Threatening to tell "a secret which he would reveal in time, unless .............let the cat out of the bag".

What is this? Love - Love = Hate ? Hate + Hate = Revenge ?


"It was made to keep him happy,” added Nallakarupan, formerly from PKR and once a close friend of party adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He added he just knew that when the vice-president was removed from his position as Sabah chief, a new post would be given to him.

Nallakarupan said Anwar could not afford to lose Azmin when asked to comment on Azmin’s appointment as FT chief, replacing Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, the Selangor Mentri Besar. Sabahan Thamrin Zaini is the new Sabah chief.


The above paragraphs showed the grapes are so sour, Nallakarupan just has to hit at Anwar. When hatred covered the eyes and the heart, this happened ! A person can treat another known person worst than treating another stranger. The husband who poured acid and kill the wife in Penang is a typical case.


Asked why he thought Anwar could not bear to lose Azmin, “Anwar is planning to sue me for defamation on certain things I mentioned in my previous ceramah. I will be waiting for that good day to tell all,” he said, adding that he understood Anwar’s character “inside and out” after being his friend for 30 years.


Please imagine that your 30 years 'friend' said he know you "inside and Out" and talked to you that "I will be waiting for that good day to tell all," ? Isn't this a revealing of human weakness ? How cruel is the way to treat someone you once know ?

This is happening in PKR, talked about leaders, hit at leaders ? Is there any better in MCA ?

.

How can ?

.

The following article is reposted from 'Malaysian Insider'. Every Malaysian, in one way or another, has been concerned and waiting for the outcome of the trial on Teoh Beng Hock. But the injuries reveal by the Thai pathologist is shocking. How on earth one can do that to another brother?

Thai expert says Teoh’s death ‘80pc’ homicide
By Debra Chong

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand told the Coroner’s Court this morning that there was an 80 per cent probability that Teoh Beng Hock’s death was a homicide and not suicide, and suggested that some of his injuries were sustained before his fatal fall.


She said that Teoh’s injuries showed he could have been strangled and that he sustained anal penetration before he fell to his death earlier this year.


The stunning testimony made by the pathologist, who gained prominence from her work on identifying Tsunami victims and in the recent death of Hollywood star David Carradine, appeared to suggest Teoh was assaulted before his death.


Using a graphics presentation, she told the court that not all the injuries sustained by Teoh were consistent with that of a fall.


The skull fracture on Teoh’s head, she said, was not typical of an injury from a fall, but more compatible from blunt force applied directly to the skull. She also noted round marks on Teoh’s neck which could mean “manual strangulation” with fingers.


She said that her assessment was based on Teoh’s autopsy report and from photographs taken at the site where his body was found.


Dr Pornthip was engaged as an expert witness by the Selangor state government.
.

Earlier she told the court that she had conducted over 10,000 autopsies in her career, of which more than 100 dealt with fatal falls from high places.

可怕可恶

以下新闻转贴自'当今大马'; 大家都在等，就如照片上所写" 赵明福坠楼身亡，请当局交代死因 "。然而，今天的报道，不仅让人惊憾，还使人无法置信; 长袖白衣黑布长裤的办事处人员，能下如此手？今日在庭上的报告，肯定再次在赵家亲人伤口撒盐。Oh, so sorry.



赵明福死因八成他杀两成自杀
普缇揭坠楼前肛门遭硬物插入

王德齐10月21日上午 10点57分

即时新闻

赵明福验尸庭今日续审，泰国法医普缇（Porntip Rojanasunan）做出惊人揭露，声称赵明福有80%的可能是遭到他杀，只有20%可能是死于自杀。

这项分析与我国法医早前在庭上的供证，完成相反。她也不同意其他法医，指赵明福是清醒的跳楼的说法。她在庭上以power point的呈现方式，逐一针对验尸照片做出解释。

她说，并非所有尸体上的伤势，都是坠楼所造成。她表示，从死者的验尸报告看来，赵明福生前曾遭人致伤。她表示，赵明福的头骨裂痕并非一般坠楼所造成的伤势，而更加像是头骨曾被人以暴力击裂。曾被人用手勒箍颈项她也指出，赵明福颈项出现的箍痕，可能是遭人用手勒颈。

她也指出，根据案发现场的照片显示，赵明福肛门的伤害，是在坠楼之前遭到硬物插入所致。死亡时间早上6点至8点她说，赵明福的死亡时间，是2009年7月16日早上6点至8点之间。

她表示，赵明福在坠楼前可能是处于不清醒的状态，因为：1）验尸报告显示，赵明福在坠楼后仍然活着，但是却在尸体上没有发现自卫的伤势。2）尸体上发现一些看似坠楼前造成的伤势。3）胸部的伤势是主要冲击所造成。她是根据另两名法医凯鲁和巴拉山所准备的验尸报告、照片和案发现场图片，得出上述分析。

赵明福家属如父母亲、哥哥和妹妹今日都出席聆听。现年54岁的普缇（左者）是曼谷司法部科学鉴证机构总监。她把脱氧核糖核酸（DNA）技术带进泰国警界，并曾因多次揭露警方弊端而备受关注。

另外，普缇更在2004大海啸中，协助验证了数千名罹难者的身份，深受泰国人民的爱戴。在赵明福命案发生后不久，民联曾联络普缇要求她前来大马，协助调查赵明福命案。但是，当时由于赵家不愿明福遭受第二次剖验，而无法成行。

Kelana Jaya Charity Line Dance

.

On 17th October, a group of 400 ladies and men, happily dance to the tune of joy ! The blast sound of music has turn the ballroom of 3K Sports Comples in Subang jaya, into a dance hall ! Not only the participants have a good time; 20 kids from Compassion Home , for the first time able to have fun watching and dancing with the group.

.

I was invited by the organiser Sam & Grace Dance Group (USJ5) to officiate the function, and help to raise the fund together with the sale of tickets to a total sum of RM10,000/=. One could not help, not to be energised by the excitement shown by the participants once step into the hall.

Mr.George from Compassion Home received the cheque from Mr.Sam

.

Out of the so many teams participanted in the competition, 10 teams were judged to be the best. Champion goes to The Starlet, 1st and 2nd runner up are World Dancers and True line, the remaining 7 teams received consolation prizes.

The Starlet, Champion of Kelana Jaya Charity Line Dance Competition.

.

.

A group photography of 10 best teams together with Guests and Children from Compassion Home

.

The fun started as early as 10am in the morning until 5.30pm in the afternoon. On top of all excitement and fun, 25 lucky draw were picked from the tickets' number. The lucky recipients run to the stage with their friends' applause that rocked the hall.I am impressed and surprised by their energy level. I really hope we have the opportunity to continue to bring the community closer, build a "Kampung" in the city.

.
Below was the speech delivered by me for the above function:

Good Afternoon. Since today is Deepavali, I better say the only word that I know in Tamil “Vaniqum”. I would also take this opportunity to say Happy Deepavali to all my friends who celebrate this festival.

It is a rare occasion that we have 400 ladies and children, group under 1 roof in Subang Jaya, under the Kelana Jaya Parliament constituency, to enjoy line dance, to shower our love to the lovely kids from Compassion Home, and also join our Indian brothers and sisters to celebrate Deepavali. And, this is the special feature that one can find, only in Malaysia.

.

I have to take this opportunity to thank Sam & Grace, they have taken much initiative to learn and teach Line Dance in Subang Jaya & USJ for many years. With their enthusiasm and determination, we find ladies and men from all age groups and background, are able to dance gracefully and beautifully. I can even imagine how they dance in kitchen and sing in bathroom, practicing hard for this competition, to the amusement of their spouse and children and grandchildren.

.

I will now take this opportunity to introduce my friends from MCA, who keep me company since I took over the leadership of MCA Kelana Jaya Division as the only lady chair person in Selangor.

.
I have said this recently in Sunway Pyramid celebrating Malam Mesra Raya Tanglung. I would like to say it again. MCA has always been here, rain or shine, tsunami or not; we do not run away from our responsibilities as community and political leaders. We do not deserted our supporters, neither the residents. We are always around to stretch out our hands when possible. That is why when Sam and Grace Dance group share with me their idea about this charity line dance, I immediately response and said I will round up whatever you raised through the sale of tickets, to support not only this activity but the Compassion Home.

.

.

Whatever happened in last General Election, has made us aware that we have to work harder. We will not only work on local issues, but work even harder on issues that we and the Rakyat both cannot accept and tolerate. Give us a chance to prove that, we can be as good, if not better.

.

I understand from Amelia, Jenny and Ann, this Charity line dance is one of its first kind in Kelana Jaya. They have organized Mother Day Line Dance for past 5 years, in their favourite place Lakeview Club. But this is the first time they took up the challenge to organize in this big scale, they have many sleepless nights and so much of running to put this in place, let shower them with your warm applause.

I wish everyone have a good time, let your hair down, not your pants. I announce that the charity line dance is now officially opened. Thank you.

成长的烦恼

成长 = 懂事 = 烦恼。

成长不单只属于孩童年青人，更不是他们的专利品。 成人，不计年龄，在每段不同阶段的生命，也在成长。所以，都会面对不同成长阶段所带来的烦恼。然而，多少孩童不需烦的事，成人却得拿来烦，尤是争风吃醋争权夺利你欺我诈。


有些人选择迷迷糊糊，日子照过。唉！选择懂事理明白是非，就是烦恼的开始。


在学生时期，充满冲劲，充满理想。该做的去做，傻事也傻干; 不求回报，只求认同。却在这段日子，看着一位学生活跃份子，被另一位受尊重的学生领袖以'莫须有'罪名排在主流外。人生中首次目瞪口呆。


执教讲课时期，人事虽多，却少排挤中伤，最多三两句闲语。执教时，倾全力以塑造灵魂工程师为目标; 讲课时，尽全心敲动每位听者隐藏在内心深处对人生的欲望。即使有让耳根不清的闲言和不苟同的动作，牵动面不大，还能让人置之一笑。有时，还多一份鼓励。当然，学生不配合或设立目标追求业绩时，还是成长烦恼的开始。


从事社区工作时，本着对教育的热爱，对社区建设发展的关注，积极参与筹建及发言。之中，对教育政策的偏差及社区建设的不当，与有关方面力争或向有关人士反映想法，却'天真无知'地忽视地方上政策及有关人士工程后的利益，引来'另眼相待'及讥讽。虽然没有个人财务或职务的得失，但对失策忿忿不平，是成长烦恼的开始。


邻国九十年代后期对同文同种的一系列逼害运动，引起深埋在内心的火花，开始参与政治工作。参与后，周围人物多类，有个人企图，有个人议程，有利益关系，有借你过桥，有爱团体生活，有认真学习，有以你为友，有以你为首，也有喜凑热闹，。。 谈政治谈理念谈争取公平施政，当然有但不多; 再次面临现实与理想的差距。前几类只能以第三只眼睛旁视，不能推心置腹用真心相对换来虚情假意，不然被计算吞噬还不自知。 后几类则欢笑相处共同合作，享有间隔时的分享理念合作真情，只有这些伙伴同志成为推动力。此时，如临深渊履薄冰，只期异中求同，寻找同类是成长烦恼的开始。

.

.

目前－些局势的演变令人口呆目瞪，就如剧院一出未下另一出抢上，还有几出列队等着上映。演员身份正角反角调来调去，主角成配角跑龙套成主导，剧情越看越令人不可思议，最怕是台上演得不亦乐乎，台下观众已倦怠无力。经－事长一智，又是成长烦恼的开始。

.

日子天天过，你不找烦恼，烦恼上门找。在激励课程里常提到只有二种人与世无争，没有烦恼:

一是生活在自己的梦幻境，随时调动幻象合心水，过着'无忧无虑'的生活; 通常是拘禁于北方的兰慕丹精神院或南方的丹卑精神院。

二是横躺在六尺地底下，化为泥; 或是浓缩收藏在瓷瓮里，烧成灰。


两者应不会是看官的选择，也皆非我愿，唯有继续与烦恼为群。


警惕，随时提升士气，积极自我激励:

.

没有烦恼只有问题，没有问题只有挑战！面对挑战克服挑战！ 越战越勇！！

.

No Problems, Face Challenges ! Conquer Challenges !! YES!!!

做人低调是种智慧

今天是屠妖节，只有东方日报派上门。详读全份，在管理天下版看到'投资自已'这栏，题目是'做人低调是种智慧'。阅完觉得满有意思，在此转贴与众共享:



美国开国元勋之一的富兰克林年轻时，去一位老前辈的家中做客，昂首挺胸走进一座低矮的小茅屋，一进门，'澎'的一声，他的额头撞在门框上，青肿了一大块。



老前辈笑著出来迎接说: "很痛吧？你知道吗？这是你今天来拜访我最大的收获。一个人要想洞明世事，练达人情，就必须时刻记住低头。"



富兰克林记住了，也就成功了。



点评:

学会低凋做人，就要不喧闹，不矫揉，不造作，不故作呻吟，不假惺惺，不卷进是非，不招人嫌，不招人嫉，即使你认为自己满腹才华，能力比别人强，也要学会藏拙。


而抱怨自己怀才不遇，那只是肤浅的行为。



低调做人，就是用平和的心态来看待世间的一切，修行到此种境界，为人便能善始善终，既可以让人在卑微时安贫乐道，豁达大度，也可以让人在显赫时持盈若亏，不骄不狂。




阅读数遍，细嚼其意，领悟其精，妙不可言。数点已身奉力行，尚有几点未到家，努力共勉。

商女不知亡国恨

从十月十日下午四点至今，多少的政势分析，多少的事后孔明，多少的高谈阔论，多少的商策大计，多少的密谈文告，。。。。。。，然而，可有注意为何国阵友党首领高调谈尊重特大成绩？谈特大尘埃落定即内阁重组？


今早'当今大马'有下则新闻:


政府开始掩盖自贸区丑闻？林吉祥国会提问突然消失

10月14日 上午 9点17分


国会下议院将在下周一复会，在过去数月闹得沸沸扬扬的巴生港口自由贸易区课题预料将成为国会的焦点之一。一直以来对自贸区丑闻紧咬着不放的民主行动党国会领袖林吉祥，也一早向国会提呈相关问题，以便交由首相纳吉在国会首天作答。不过，林吉祥在部落格表示，他却在昨日被告知，这项提问突然完全消失在国会下周一的口头答复名单中。此事已引起这位怡保东区国会议员的质疑，政府是否已经开始掩盖这宗125亿令吉的丑闻。



林立迎提问同样不翼而飞他指出，行动党泗岩沬区国会议员林立迎对自贸区的提问，也同样从国会提问名单中不翼而飞。



还会有什么后续动作？当初大吼特轰别把PKFZ当护身符，那只是官职职责所在，非得置于死地不可; 现在，如真如以上所报道，真让人有感只因逞一时之快，吼轰嚷叫后，如此结局。唉！商女不知亡国恨呀！

明天的中委会，请考量各方面各角度，党内党外事务，再做集体决定。

SMS 短讯

已有一周，没在电脑萤幕前，我手写我心。一位朋友碰面时说: "上了你的部落几回，都没看到你写什么。" 看着她，尝试以微笑作答。这几天，只想静一静，沉思默虑，让心情沉淀。但，今早手机来了一则短讯，就转贴短讯好了。


This morning, while having my breakfast, a message came

in. It read :

" Mdm. Ong, say no to fresh election ...............................

We need strong leader like Ong Tee Keat that can stand up

to XXXX bullying way. EGM result does not represent

ordinary member view! "

As it is an unknown number, I decided to call back and find

out who is the person that send this message. He said he is

a resident of Subang Jaya, not active in politic but a

member of MCA. We talked for few minutes,he was

concerned about the result of EGM just like anyone.

It is touching to know that there are people around us,

care much about MCA and take the trouble to sms his

thoughts to me, a person he hardly know. I am speechless.


My neighbour also sent a message to me : " Public will be

disappointed with the lack of political courage to effect

change." I am speechless.


An old friend from University of Malaya sent this message :

" It's funny! What will happen to MCA ?" I am speechless.


一位非党员的女生寄以下短讯 : " 很遗憾的结果。马华不单与华社渐行渐远，简直是脱轨。" 我无言。


还有一位资深政治工作者传一个简单几字的短讯 : " 天要亡马华了 ..........." 我无言。


上届大选后，最常听人说"马华没有继续存在的价值"。然而，这次特大前后持续大版位的报道，电台以重点新闻不断播送，多人手机短讯不断接收发送，咖啡店电梯聚餐都在谈马华谈特大。这一切的一切，显示马华还是有市场; 有关无关人士，不管是关心还是当笑话，潜意识下都与六十年的马华结下不解之缘。


未来马华的走向如何，需要严正以待，突出重围，期待中央领导层给与明朗的方向。

Malam Mesra Raya Tanglung 与民共庆双佳节

以往在庆中秋节时，也曾放孔明灯，天空一片灿烂，煞是好看; 后因风向会导致火患及影响航机降陆而受禁。前几天，在双威广场庆'与民共庆双佳节'，虽没放孔明灯，却进行一场非凡的提灯游行。一行人，在两家儿童之家的异族孩童陪同下，当然还有不少居民及旅客形成的提灯队伍，先在广场外巡游，天气出奇好。后进入冷气广场乘电动行人梯，再走上梯级返回广场外的舞台。全程一公里半，由两头醒狮引路，锣鼓喧天，把整个广场掀翻天。


原本想把当晚的讲稿贴上'忠言闲话', 却因巫统对友党的评语而不得不先说几句，到现在才有机会将当晚的讲词贴下:


Pertama sekali, saya ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima

kasih kepada semua penghuni di Kawasan Parlimen Kelana

Jaya. Your presence tonight make it a special night. This is

a night that we blend 2 cultures together, moon cakes with

ketupat, pelita with tanglung, silat dan wushu, Orang Melayu

dan Orang Tionghua, tidak lupa Kakak dan Abang dari

kaum India dan kaum-kaum lain di Malaysia Timur. What

we have seen here tonight, do not take it for granted, it is

the continuous efforts of our forefathers and present

leadership, that we have this beautiful place called

“Malaysia”.

I would like to thank Puan Sri Susan Cheah, Mr. HC Chan

and Sunway Pyramid, without your supports, we will not be

able to organize tonight Malam Mesra Raya Tanglung in this

world class magnificent place. Mr. Chan & Puan Sri, we

wish to have your continuous supports in years to come.

Not forgetting Ministry of Information, Communication

& Culture, has generously supported tonight event. The

organizing committee, under the able leadership of Wong

Kok Ken, has worked for many weeks to make this a

memorable event, Thank you.



Saya juga ingin mengambil kesempatan mengucapkan

terimakasih di atas kehadiran Dato Sri Ong Tee Keat &

Datin Sri Jane Ong. You were with us last moon cake

festival at USJ Summits Shopping Complex, you came

to officiate our new MCA Division office November last

year, you were with us this February to witness our

Division committee members swearing-in ceremony.

You were also present in the LRT briefing and dialogue

on 25-07-09 at 3KSports Complex. With your tight

schedule, yet you always have Kelana Jaya at heart.

Thank you, Dato Sri.



MCA has always been here, rain or shine, tsunami

or not; we do not run away from our responsibilities

as community and political leaders. We do not deserted

our supporters, neither the residents after the last election.

Whatever happened in last election, has made us aware that

we have not heard enough, we know that we have to work

harder than before. Under the leadership of Dato Sri Najib

Tun Razak and Dato Sri Ong Tee Keat, we will not only work

on local issues, but work even harder on issues that we and

the Rakyat both cannot tolerate. Give us a chance to prove

that, we can be as good, if not better.



Before I end, let me share with you what I have written in

my blog for this special occasion: Poem and Pantun in 3

languages

The Moon cake Festival
A Chinese tradition and culture
An auspicious occasion --
Coinciding with Hari Raya Aidilfitri festivity
A season of double joy.
In the spirit of 1 Malaysia,
A happy blend of 2 cultures
Gives us a shared sense of unity and harmony
Reminding us
That our forefathers arrived on this land
Worked hard to make this place our home.
Let's celebrate Raya Tanglung

Our Malaysian Spirit !

Selamat Menyambut Raya Tanglung semua …………
Terima Kasih

Losing Faith?

In any brainstorming session, there will draw some conclusions; some are useful as reference and some are 'syok' sendiri. Below is an article retract from Malaysian Insider:

.

Umno Losing Faith in Barisan Partners
(Malaysian Insider)

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 3 — Umno’s patience and confidence with the current power-sharing agreement with its partners in Barisan Nasional is wearing thin, judging by sentiments expressed during a closed-door retreat in Janda Baik.


During this rare three-day gathering of Umno divisions, which ended yesterday, a common refrain heard was that Umno should be less generous in giving up Malay-majority seats to representatives of MCA, MIC, Gerakan and other component parties.


The general view among division chiefs was that the component parties were much weaker than Umno and would not be able to swing votes from the non-Malays or the Malays.


In contrast, a strong Umno was better placed to win in Malay-majority seats.


The Malaysian Insider understands that party president Datuk Seri Najib Razak and senior party officials who attended the retreat — aimed at boosting the morale of grassroots leaders — were non-committal on the request for Umno to be less charitable in seat allocation with BN component parties.

............................................................................................................

“If a seat has 55 or 60 per cent Malay voters, it makes sense to field an Umno candidate. In the last election, we gave seats in Perak and Selangor to other parties and they were not able to deliver.

..............................................................................................................

During the retreat, officials were also in agreement that Umno’s/BN’s fortunes rested on the ruling party strengthening its standing among Malay voters — a backhanded acknowledgment that it was not pinning much hopes on getting support from non-Malays at the next general election.


This sentiment is consistent with the growing right-wing tendencies that party officials have exhibited in recent months.


There was little substantive discussion on how the party can reach out to Chinese and Indians who Umno officials have alienated in recent months.

Do read the 30 comments, that are the response from the people. While party members's sentiments cannot be totally ignored, people's feeling should not be ignored either.

这是所谓的改革

转贴自辣手(英文版看Malaysian Insider)

巫统区部高层闭门聚会强烈要求

来届大选巫裔多数议席由巫统出战

Editor 03-10-2009 12:35

巫统一项闭门聚会上，巫统区部领导在会议上，强烈表达对于国阵权力分享的不满，并指不应再让巫裔选民居多的选区，由马华、国大党、民政或其他成员党出战。


这些区部领袖的普遍看法是，巫统的友党相对弱，不能在相关选区，吸引巫裔或非巫裔的选票，因此，巫统的强大人选，应上阵相关选区，以赢取该议席。首相兼巫统主席纳吉及其他高层领袖，都有出席这项会议，然而，他们却未针对相关要求，作出回应。


目前，巫统基层已提出强烈的看法，即在来届大选，最重要的是赢回相关议席，因此，必须派出有把握的候选人，而不是根据国阵成员党，再分享权力。


《马来西亚内幕者》引述消息，基层表明，只要有55至60%的选民是巫裔，就必须派出巫统候选人。


「上届大选，我们（巫统）在霹雳和雪州，把议席让给友党出战，然而，他们却无法取胜。这些政党仍面对内部问题，他们不能吸引非巫裔的选票。因此，巫统的候选人上阵就显得较有胜算，因为巫统绝有可能获得巫裔选民的支持。」


他们也认同，来届大选，要取得非巫裔支持是不太可能的，因此，国阵更应抓住巫裔选票。同时，他们也探讨，巫统如何获得非巫裔的选票。



马华及其他友党认为中央施政的偏差及巫统过去的傲慢，是导致2008年308政治海啸的主因。可是，现在193区部主干经闭关三天两夜脑力震荡后的论调竟是"强烈表达对于国阵权力分享的不满"。这就是所谓的改革？


既然知道"来届大选，要取得非巫裔支持是不太可能的"，不检讨为什么会失去非巫裔的支持，及时改革纠正以让国家突破重围; 却趁机认为"国阵更应抓住巫裔选票"。从战策来说当然没大错，打战就是要胜; 怎样能胜就怎样去斗。错是错在还以为自已很强，可以为所欲为，大选的挫折全是因非巫裔另投他怀。但从建国贡献及社会契约角度，只顾保全自己不符道义。不过，道义在他们心目中又值几钱？历史都可改，还谈贡献？为了抓住族群选票，会否再次不拘口德尽说些令他族无法接受的言论？ 呜呼哀哉！


"同时也探讨巫统如何获得非巫裔的选票"，如要探讨如何获得非巫裔的选票，又怎会"强烈表达对于国阵权力分享的不满"？逻辑思维在那？这根本不符合逻辑推理！


当然可以说别管下面人讲的话，最重要是正副首相及内阁如何看待这样的论调。我们不是在说下情要上达吗？不是要听声音吗？那党主席又怎办？底下人的思维还是如此自我，到处是小那破仑，这样的声音怎样听？经过308的教训，首相要改革以符合实情，可这些人却不配合首相的全民政策。头痛啊！


在<马来西亚内幕者>那篇UMNO Losing Faiths in Barisan Partners的30个留言，可看出多少读者的不满！我只希望向<马来西亚内幕者>放消息的人断章取义，或以个人角度分析; 不代表大部份参与脑力震荡代表们的看法。这样，还有得救。

Listening to the People first

This article on LRT is posted on Minister of Transport Malaysia Dato Sri Ong Tee Keat's blog "Courage to Change, Creating New Values". I downloaded and posted here on "My Views" to share with residents who are concerned and would like to know more about the transport system.

"Listening to the People first "

.

I understand that Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (Prasarana), had obtained the approval for the public display of the LRT extension line for Kelana Jaya and Ampang for a period of three months. During this period, Prasana will receive feedback from the people on the projects.

.

The LRT extension is meant to serve the people, and it stands to reason that we must listen to the voice of the people first to ensure the success of the projects. Even before this public display, I had attended a Town Hall meeting at Subang Jaya on the 25th of July 2009 to listen for myself the feedbacks, suggestions and comments from the residents affected by the LRT extension project.

.

Many good points were raised in that session. Concerns raised such as noise pollution, traffic congestion, proximity to houses and facilities for the physically disabled are valid and I am pleased that Prasarana had addressed them in their plans.

.

A study is also ongoing to look into the best option to serve Bandar Sunway and its people, including the sizeable student community there. A summary of the issues raised and their status can be downloaded here .

.

I hope to organise more of such Town Hall meetings to help us craft more friendly and effective policies. It’s also fun to roll up our sleeves to meet the people.

.

For those who missed the Town Hall meeting, it is still not too late to view the display and make your voices count by visiting http://www.dor.gov.my/ or visit the five locations where the display are being held.
