Egypt and renewal | Maybe a little Spun but defintely not Sphinxed






“If Egypt is to succeed at building a society based on the rule of law, it could be a model. If, however, the core issues that propelled the revolution aren't addressed, consequences could be catastrophic.”

Burma | No fooling! They did it! Now can Malaysia?




Aljazeera Burma Election




If only it had been a full general elections.

Burma's Parliament is dominated by military friendly MP's. By 2015 when elections will be held again and those military stooges will face the electorates it might be a big smackdown. There should be public confidence in Burmese citizens as they face the 2020 decade geared with improved infrastructures as all of ASEAN should be, to turn the wheel for economic improvement and regional prosperity.

Malaysia 2011 | False prophet or seditious phony politician?



PM: Malays in peril if Pakatan rules

Malays and Muslims have no choice but to defend the current federal government as this is they only way the future of the Malay race and the dignity of Islam can be safeguarded, said Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

“There are those offering an alternative. The question that needs to be asked is: ‘Can they be better than the present administration?’

“Can they guarantee that the special position we enjoy now will not be eroded?” he said in a speech to two thousand Malaysia Islamic Missionary and Welfare Association (Pekida) members, in Shah Alam today.

Though Najib did not name the so-called alternative, it was clear that he was referring to Pakatan Rakyat in his jibe that followed.

“Even before they are in power they want to reduce the civil service by half… they want to change the flag, to pollute the sanctity of the Malay Rulers and question the policies that help Malays,” he said.

Najib stressed that there will BE no compromise on the special rights of the Malays as enshrined in the constitution.

“The non-Malays must not cuit (antagonise) the feelings of Malays. Don’t change what was already decided upon and discussed,” he said, during the ‘meet the PM’ session. - Malaysiakini

Very bloody but no life was lost







Lots of blood was "shed" in the "Redshirts" protests against the present Thai government. And no life was lost.

It's the Thai way of making a point.

That will never happen in Malaysia. Otherwise, there'll be big losses of pigs and cow heads.

Thailand is an interesting country. At one time the government in Thailand changed every Thursday but they're working out things and the future looks good for them. We'd like to say the same for Malaysia but if there's anything to understand from the NEM, Pemandu would be heavily involved in them. I don't know what the heck Pemandu is, but it sounds like they're after flying Driver's Licences.

Another interesting thing about Thailand is that James Brooke, first Rajah of Sarawak, wanted in on Siam bizness but the Monarch at the time snubbed him. So he settled for Sarawak! Later his nephew ceded Sarawak to Britain who in turn ceded it to Malaya/Malaysia - a kind of "Double Cession" which reminds us independence means sending your kids of different ages to school in Double Sessions - the younger in the morning while older in the afternoon for want of enough school buildings!

But as far as Thailand goes, Siamese twins are not "Thais". That must be Thailand's secrets and how they've "shed" so much blood without losing a life!
