I am Malaysian First, Chinese Second! But now I think I am a Chinese, forget about being a Malaysian

When the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia claimed that he is Malay First and Malaysian Second, I do not think he is fit to be the Leader of Malaysia. He is only fit to be the leader of Umno.

Malaysia, after more than 50 years of independence still cannot shed away the racial thinking. With the DPM thinking so narrowly and EVEN supported by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, it seems that Malaysia will not be a truly coherence nation, like Thailand, Vietnam and may be even Singapore.

I believe the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia would introduce themselves as Singaporean or Malaysian first, followed by clarifying themselves as Singapore Chinese or Malaysia Chinese. So, it is Malaysia first, Chinese second. How difficult is it for both our DPM and PM to consider themselves as Malaysia Malay? Or are they telling us that there is only Malays in Malaysia, other "Malays" from other Countries are not true Malays?

Whatever it is, the Prime Minister's shout of 1Malaysia concept does not fit with such mentality of “I am Malay first, Malaysian Second”. If every Malaysian says the same, I am Chinese first Malaysia second and echoed by the Indian community of I am Indian first, Malaysian Second, we will not be heading toward creating a "Malaysian" mentality. Malaysia will continue to be divided by racial community. I got the feeling it is what the MALAY leaders really want.

Look like the only way to become a truly and only Malaysian is through cross marriage.

What can the ordinary folks do when our Top Leader has such thinking, even after more than 50 years of independence!

Ong Tee Keat adopts Online Strategy, while Chua Soi Lek has a blogsite and Ong Ka Ting Page not found!

The BN government partially blamed losing the 13th General Election due to the failure of engaging the Public through online interaction.

Now, with the MCA election round the corner, it is surprisingly strange that apart from Ong Tee Keat, Chua Soi Lek uses a blog site and Ong Ka Ting’s website return error 404 page not found!

Ong Tee Keat’s website is most impressive compare to the others. His site; www.ongteekeat.net is up to date and information with link to facebook and twitter, while Chua Soi Lek’s blog site is less impressive with limited information. No need to mention about Ong Ka Ting. www.ongkating.com is a site full of advertisements and www.ongkating.net is 404 errors.

We usually check out a company corporate site to have an insight to a company’s culture and philosophy, just as we check out a restaurant’s restroom to see what likely is happening in their kitchen. So, it speaks well for Ong Tee Keat for having a well constructed and informative website, while it is less convincing for Chua Soi Lek and nothing for Ong Ka Ting.

I support Ong Tee Keat, but I am not a MCA member

MCA Election on 28 March 2010 would be closely followed by many non-MCA members.

Although, it seem none of our business, but being the Chinese representative in the BN lead government, I believe many Chinese are still concern about MCA stability. Yes, we have earlier punished MCA by not voting MCA candidates; it is because we believe that MCA has not been able to truly voice out our dissatisfaction to UMNO. MCA has long been viewed by most people as the puppets of UMNO, thus, it make no sense to vote for them. Instead, we opt for the opposition, thus, in a way, benefited DAP as well as PAS. I have many Chinese friends who prefer to vote for PAS instead of MCA.

Yes, we may have written off MCA in the last election, but ever since Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat has been elected as MCA president, the many changes that he has initiated and his daring exposure of PKFZ, coupled with many good comments about his personality, many Chinese are coming back to support him.

With him leading MCA into the next election, I foresee, that he will be able to bring many Chinese back to support MCA, provided he win this 28 March MCA Election together with his team mates. Otherwise, the Chinese Community will continue to reject MCA, for the other 2 presidency candidates do not really earn the support of the Chinese. One was involved in a sex scandal, and one leads to the downfall of MCA.

I cannot accept the notion that a tinted leader can gain the support of the public. We are talking about political visions, policies etc that will transact to government policies, rules and laws. How can a leader with such low moral value lead us? He may have the support of the MCA members and if he wins, which will then make us, the common people to think, who are those MCA members? How can they accept such leader? Thus, in the end……could lead to the total rejection of MCA! MCA will then continue to be rejected by the people and they will suffer even worse than March 08 election!

I support Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, so do many non MCA members I believe, but we have no direct influence to the election result, so, I appeal to the MCA delegates, cast your vote wisely, for you will ultimately face us in few months to come.

Suspension Bridge built for Free, who to be blamed?

The newly-constructed suspension bridge that gave way, caused 3 death recently was reported to be built free.

The question that come to my mind is..why is the bridge built for free? When it is build for free, what is the liability of the constructor? Was there any specification that the constructor is oblige to abide to? There could be unclear specification as to the weight that the suspension bridge can support.

Before all finger is pointing to the constructor, should we also ask who draw the specification? Was the specification meant to support more than 15 people crossing at anytime? Furthermore, who is so good that he/she managed to convince the company to build the bridge for FREE?

So, thing is getting complicated now. Maybe the original specification is to build the bridge capable to support at least 20 people at anytime, but because it is to be build free of charge, the requirement may be lowered to support 10 people only?

Can the government provide us more details as to what is the required specifications? Can the government also answer why is the bridge build by a company for free?

If the government can get the bridge to be build free, can they get the company to build government hostel for free too? This is truly another Malaysia Bolah example. Public utilities build FOC!

Raja Petra's Son beaten in Sg. Buloh Prison?

Oh my god... Raja Petra's son is beaten daily in the Sg. Buloh Prison in all attempts to force him to pled guilty to all charges. This is reported in Raja Petra's blog (http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/28119/84/)

This is a dirty tactic used by our Government to force Raja Petra out from his hiding? Instead of trying to hunt RPK down, they choose the easier route. Beating his son, so to make RPK feel bad that he is the root cause to his son's suffering. I can imagine how bad a father would feel about it.

But I am furious!!! How can a Government resorts to such inhuman tactic! I wonder if the police would investigate, or it is the work of the police?

If such claim by Raja Petra is true, what guarantee that man in the street like us will be protected from any injustice? How much faith can we place on our Government?

This naturally lead me to think if the same was actually forced onto Teoh Hock Beng, forcing him to admit and accuse the same to his boss, which result in a tragedy.

Whatever the outcome of the inquiry, public opinion has been formed, and I fear that more and more people are losing faith in the present Malaysian Government unless drastic clean-up efforst are been done. Suggested areas to work on first are:

1. Altantuya C4 Case
2. Lingam correct correc correct case
3. PKFTZ
4. Former Selangor MB Shah Alam Mansion
5. Teoh Hock Beng
6. Whoever mentioned in the Auditor-General Report

Anymore? The government understands that Malaysian are generally forgetful, so I think it is important that we constantly remind ourselves of these outstanding cases, which we shall repeatly remind them when the general election come.

Najib says culprits will face action, We are waiting!

The New Strait Times reported that Najib is disappointed over the irregularities and mismanagement as exposed by the Auditor-General report 2008.

Najib said:"I know and I am disappointed. This is a big government but once we start the key performance indicators and national key result areas, it will be a lot better."

What does this means? Are you saying that you are not going after those mentioned in the Auditor-General report? We are not keen about your Future KPI, we are keen that you take immediate action against those who misused the public funds!

According to the newspaper, Najib said the most important thing after the exposure was for the state governments, agencies and departments that had been taken to task by the auditor-general to take certain measures.

"We must take certain steps, for instance, punitive action. This is usually not seen.

"We need to reward performers while those who transgress (flout the rules and regulations) should face punitive action."

This needed to be done as part and parcel of good governance, Najib added.

So, it is nice to hear these, but it has been four days and we have seen no follow-up actions. I wonder what will happen 2 week later. When the main stream media start to raise other issues, which most people now talk about the 2009 Budget, the public will slowly forget about Auditor-General report and the Culprits go harmless.
The Auditor-General as been highlighting areas of weaknesses year in year out, but years after years, we hear the same report.

If Najib is serious about correcting the wrongs, he should instruct MACC to investigate all parties mentioned in the Auditor-General report from 2002 till now. Show us that you are serious in reform, otherwise, people will start losing faith in your leadership.

RHB Bank Slow to response to Plishing Site

In my nature of Work, I would frequently come across many phishing sites. Upon detecting a phishing, I would naturally notify respective banks so that they can take immediate action to take down these phishing sites.

For those who do not understand the term "Phishing", it is merely a fake site set-up by malicious parties, hoping to mislead public into revealing their online details such as User name and password. Upon securing these details, they will login to the bank online system and transfer all your money before you realised it.

Thus, it is common that well established banks are always targeted. Maybank and CIMB bank are commonly attacked. However, I am aware that these banks engage professional Anti-Phishing Services to take down phishing site attaking them.

My past experience with these banks are quite good. Upon alerting them, it take usually 1-2 days before the site is taken down. However, the same cannot be said about RHB bank.

Here is a link to a phishing site (http://fmtnetlog.freewebhostx.com/RHBonline.update.htm) which was alerted to RHB via email (customer_service@rhbbank.com.my) on October 22, 2009.
Neither did I receive any confirmation email that they are acting on this report.

Although, the look and feel of this phishing site is not exactly the same, but it still bears the RHB logo. Thus, there is no reasons why RHB should not act against it.

Let's see how long does it take before RHB takes actions.
