Who is Keshwinder Singh?

Who are you? Kesh what Singh? I never heard of you before? What real achievements have you got before you are given the opportunity to contest in Malim Nawar state seat?

You think you really win because of you? I don't think so. The same apply to many Pakatan elected representatives. You win in the 308 Election, because the People are sick of Barisan Nasional, no because of you. You are voted in because you are with DAP, PKR or PAS. Seriously, anyone stand for election during 8 March has a high change of winning, simply because the people just wish for a change. It has nothing to do with you!

On March 8, I went into the poll station and put a cross to someone I do not know, it is very simple, just look for the BN logo and cross the other box. So, any candidates that does not belong to BN has a good chance of winning.

What do you mean by saying:"I now realise that only Barisan can bring progress and prosperity to the people. I hope this decision will help me serve my constituents better," WAIT....You does not have the support of the people of Malim Nawar!

It is fine if you now love Zimbry and BN, because the people can also choose not to love you. Resign and let the people decide. If you think you have the support of the people, fear not. DAP can put up anyone and I am sure DAP's candidate will win.

So, Mr. Kesh What...what..Singh? Be a man and contest again to see if you really win.

Nazri Aziz: Why are we doubting the quality of local universities?

June 15, 2010: Nazri Aziz in his explanation for the reduce scholarships (from 1,500 to 300)for overseas studies says that more students will be placed in local universities, with the exception of those obtaining a place in top university in critical field would be sent overseas.

This once again signal that the Government is running low of money. No more money?? where is all the money??

It is sad that the Government has to resort to denying its bright citizens the opportunities for elite education. What is our current Government doing for its citizen??

The Minister lame reasons are: "The intention is, firstly, to reduce expenditure in sending student overseas. Secondly, we must ensure that local universities has bright students. Why are we doubting the quality of local universities?

I find it hard to understand our Minister's mentality. Why send bright student to low graded local universities? Is it because bright students can help bring up the local university standard? If this argument is accepted, no wonder Malaysia remains where it is today.

Why doubt our local universities? I don't know except in the same paper (the Star 15 June 2010) it is reported that Nor Ashman (the youngest son of Najib) was studying in Georgetown University in Washington DC two years ago. Why was he no studying in University Malaya, or USM, UTM etc?

Please make it a point that all Ministers can only send their children to local universities to help lift the universities standard before denying our brights students. Anyway, I think our brights students can easily get scholarships from others countries. Just don't blame them later and label them as ungrateful.

Ibrahim Demands Jala quit over "bankrupt" remark, Shall we vote?

Ibrahim Ali has demanded that Datuk Seri Idris Jala resign from the Cabinet over his earlier remarks that the Malaysia would be bankrupt if subsidies were not cut.

hmm.....interesting...While the Government intention to cut subsidies was not really supported by the people, mainly because the current cost of living is already high. We are not objecting to the removal of subsidies, if it is seriously necessary. What we are furious is that the Government has not been successful in curbing corruption, where a bigger saving would help cushion the people impact to raising cost. So, before we talk about removing subsidies, please start to remove those deem corrupted Government officers. btw...what happen to PKFTZ?

Back to Ibrahim Ali proposal. Datuk Seri Idris Jala is not a politician, he does not play all these games, we can't blame him. He is put in a position to get things done, because no one else in the so call Cabinet seem intelligent enough to get work done. In Malaysia, you can be a Minister even if you do not have sufficient academic qualification, it is not important, what more important is you know who and who.

So, should Datuk Seri Idris Jala resign? I don't think so. But I am wondering who has more supporters? Imagining that Ibrahim and Jala both put together to contest for a state seat, who do you think will win?

Dr M: Make Sports Betting Legal. How about Prostitution?

It was reported in 15 June 2010 theStar newspaper that Former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has supported the legalization of Sports Betting, saying that this will help legalize the industry as well as thwart illegal gambling. He added that Sport betting is for the non-Muslim and it is their right to gamble and the Government could not forbid them from gambling. It was also supported by backbencher Datuk Bung Mokhtar.

This is interesting as after reading this, leads me to think that prostitution may one day be legalized in Malaysia. Going along the rationale of thinking. Legalizing Prostitution would help legalize the industry as well as thwart illegal prostitution. Prostitution is for the non-Muslim and it is their right to seek prostitute service and the Government cannot forbid them from prostituting.

Going further, maybe one day, drug may be easily available. Instead of blaming poor enforcement, where it seems that the authorities are fighting a losing game, the Government can easily turn the table around and start "legalizing" many things. Starting with sports betting, maybe prostitution. WHY NOT?? Singapore has done it. Amsterdam is attracting many tourists. Legalizing Prostitution helps the Government to keep AIDs / HIV at bay, increase Tax collection, increase jobs opportunities, attract more tourists, earn more Forex.

Similarly, apply this to anything current illegal, look like the Government has more to gain.

The Government seems no long keen in maintaining the moral level of its citizen, she is more interested in increasing tax collection.

Would legalizing Sport betting put a stop to illegal bookies? I don't think so. Malaysia has legalized 4D prediction game, you have Sports Toto, Magnum , Damacai and well as those in Sarawak. But, it does not eliminate illegal underground bookies.

So, with legalized sports betting, you are opening up the accessibility for more and younger Malaysian to gamble. At present, those who wish to engage in Sports betting would need at least a credit card to transact online, but with easy accessibility to outlets and cash, people can easily gamble away their hard-earning money. And it seems the Government does not bother about the future social problems that it may create.

So, to sum it, if you can legalized something illegal now, then there is nothing really illegal, it just depend on how skillful and tough negotiators a businessman can be. If one day, someone wish to make drug consuming legalized and willing to donate a few billions to the Government and using the same argument, What will Malaysia end up as?

Sigh!! This is Malaysia lah.

Malaysia is Islamic country, but we have a Casino and soon a legalised sports betting!

Whenever I have visitors from overseas visiting Kuala Lumpur, I will definitely bring them to visit a few MUST visit places in Kuala Lumpur. The Petronas Twin Towers first and followed by Genting Highland (the Casino)which technically not in Kuala Lumpur. I really do not know where else to take them, unless you consider central market or Jalan Petaling. No way, you dare to take them to our Zoo Negera, or the bird Park. Forget about the Museum, I have not been there for more than 2 decades.

When reaching Genting Highland, Many of my overseas friends really enjoy it, for they have been suffering enough of Malaysia weather. The cooling environment Genting Highland has to offer really leave behind pleasant memory.

Touring Genting Highland will then lead them to the Casino which many would acclaimed: "I thought Malaysia is a Islamic Country" or "I thought gambling is not allowed here."

Eeeerrrrr....I don't know how to answer them. "Hehehe..This is Malaysia lah... The Government awarded the only Casino licence to Genting so that the Government can collect more taxes.. hehehe...anyway, Muslim are not allowed in". I explained.

The Chinese are the one who has this gambling culture, so this Casino is to please the non-muslim...hehehe....but wait!!! China has no CASINO!! so, it cannot be a Chinese culture! Nor do Taiwan has a Casino. So, why Malaysia has a Casino? hmmmm....

So, having a Casino is not enough, The Malaysia Government must be short of funds, for it now considering re-issuing a sports betting license to AscortSports to allow sports betting. The argument is that the Government is losing the opportunity to collect billions of taxes, thus, legalizing sports betting would help to improve the Government cash flows.

Many people objected this decision, thus, it is unclear if the Government would proceed to issue out this license. If the Government for whatever reasons proceed to legalized Sports betting, why was not it open to all interested parties to bet for this ONLY License? If the Government intention is to increase the tax money, should the Government mange it herself? Why collect 20% or 30% tax ( I don't know the percentage) when you can take all the profits. I think that will surely benefit the people.

I think, of the many people opposing to awarding the sports betting license to Ascortsports, maybe a huge portion actually does not like the ideas of Berjaya given the first rights of refusal. Who in this world would reject a monopoly license?

so, if Ascortsports is legalized despite objections from the people, I would not know how to explain to many of my foreign friends.

Anyway, if the Government refuse to listen to the people, then the Government should not blamed the people when it come to judgement day!
