Reading about the circus the media has made for Ms Elizabeth Wong leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth!
What sick people are we that we devour sleazy news like this?! The media thrives on anything that sells and sex sells!
Why does it sell?
Are we Malaysians are so deprived, that we gobble up anything sordid!
Why do we allow the media and the politicians to manipulate us for their benefit?
Have we no morals of our own must we look for the supposedly “immoral behavior” of others to justify ours?
Have we no brains to think for ourselves of what is right and what is wrong?
Come on! What are we teaching the children of the future??????? Our children?

The true way
Jesus told this story:
'Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a holy man andthe other a tax collector.
The holy man stood and prayed, 'God, I thank you that I am notlike other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even likethis lousy tax collector. I fast twice a week, I give tithesof all that I get.'
But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even liftup his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, bemerciful to me a sinner!'
Jesus explains: 'I tell you, this tax collector went homeforgiven, rather than the holy man; for every one who praiseshimself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be praised.'
Beware of the proud holy man who hangs a bunch of rulesaround your neck.
That humble tax collector had it right. He was doing the onlything you and I can do to be accepted by God. He just asked, with humility.

Valentine's Day 'haram in Islam'
JOHOR BARU: The state Religious Department yesterday reminded Muslims here that Valentine's Day was haram in Islam. The fatwa had been declared in 2005, but the warning, said Mufti Datuk M. Tahrir Samsudin, was the department's yearly reminder to Muslims not to engage in un-Islamic activities. He said such celebrations "involved elements of vice" and violated Islamic tenets and values. He said the Christian elements found in the celebration also did not correspond with Islamic practices.
How insulting can these people get?! Why is it they are never punished when they hurt people of other faiths on purpose?! Why do they get away with it?!
Yes St Valentine was a Christian and a Saint but his day is in celebration of love to promote love and in this day and age where there is only hate rampant you go about warning your people about Valentine's Day?! shouldn't you be promoting Love and Peace? Why are you promoting Hate & Violence?
You know what Datuk what ever your name is? On Valentine's day i'll Pray for your uneducated narrominded soul and MAY GOD ALMIGHTY give you wisdom and love in your life!

Me and my raving thoughts again.
You know when I hear the about all these politicians going back and forth doing their damnest to stay in power I get the terrible feeling that they are not doing anything for the people except focusing only on staying in power!
I'm just curious here, the Human Resources Minster says there are plenty of jobs available.
Where are these jobs available at sir?
Lets just take an example, in senawang there are many factories. Many of which are affected by the economic down turn.
Many are cutting no of working days and even workers are going. So far I do not see any jobs available for these newly retrenched employees.
Are the jobs available I KL? Shah Alam? Nilai? Ok let's just say Nilai has jobs available.
There retrenched workers many are operators holding salaries of RM500 monthly to RM600
These people are mainly from around Senawang area they take these low paying jobs because they live close by it's easier and cost effective to get to work.
Now suddenly they may need to get a job in Nilai that pays may be RM500 a month and they get the extra expenditure of additional transport cost.
Is it better to take this job or not?
I am just wondering because the RM500 a month has to cover petrol/ transportation cost (I can bet you they will use their own transport because public transport it totally screwed up and if they want to keep their new job they will need to be on time to work!) house rent / home loan payments, electric bills, phone bills, kids expenses then food and the RM 500 will be reduced due to EPF & SOCSO which I do not recommend cutting down.
So do you think the money they earn is enough when it was never enough in the 1st place?
You know what I think will happen? I think they will run into debt because they will be unable to pull through the whole month!
Now I know people will say it's easy to talk and complaint only.
Well I have a suggestion for the government:
Here goes: Start paying the retrenched workers a monthly allowance until they get reasonable jobs. Take on their house rent / home loan payments so they do not fear having no home to live in. Give the people free electricity & water so the people do not live in darkness when the electricity is cut because they do not have income to pay the bill (at least until times get better). there's more suggestions but I'll just leave it at that 1st.
You see I hear lots of talks about this stimulus package and that stimulus package in the millions! And all your stupid games of cat and mouse with the oppositions are extremely childish during these tough times when the people are suffering! I have no trust that your 'Stimulus packages' will do anything for me!And I'm quite sure most of it will go into some peoples' already big fat pockets! To make it bigger & fatter.
You want to govern us? Well, governing also means supervising. Supervision also mean care. So, go do your real job and take care of the people!
p/s And I don't give a damn if you are BN, UMNO, DAP, Pakatan, Pas, Keadilan either these is what I think of all of you right now! You all need to focus on the most important thing right now and it's not your posistions! Your positions will be fine if you do your job by the people!
