'MCA go home' vs 'Where was DAP 13 years ago?' at Jonker Walk
What?! Gan qualified his being there as a survey, not to protest? Let alone to lead the protest? Did Mr. Gan Tian Loo realize that the MCA protest carries more weight than DAP protest many times
over. The state government, being UMNO-led government, considers the DAP as the opposition working hand-in-hand with PAS and PKR to oust UMNO from power, rescinding the directive on the request
from DAP leaders will make the party even more popular. I thought, at first, here come the MCA, finally to do what it's supposed to do. Then the expected happened. He got cold feet. The
reporter who covered the protest reported Gan was suddenly cautious . He was like ..."I'm here to lend my support to..the .. no, wait! I am not here to support the traders - but just to do a quick
survey! But I am glad to be standing here with the protesters but reporters, please put it down in black and white I am not, I repeat, am not here as part of the protest. This is the reason the MCA
was shunned, I mean has been shunned by the Chinese. They do not represent the Chinese anymore. They cannot get things done anymore unlike in the old days. Gan admitted his meeting with the chief
minister was fruitless, but would keep trying. Keep trying for what? He should stop embarrassing the MCA and reducing its credibility further by continuing to beg despite being rebuffed earlier.
Again, this proved that the Malaysian Chinese Association has really completely lost its usefulness. If a small matter like Jonker Walk closure was beyond its power then, that 's it.

The following stories may fire your imagination, pique your interest. Some say 1MDB is Malaysia's Sovereign Wealth fund; to others they asked what wealth fund when its total capitalization is just One million ringgit? But, then again, if you think you can look down on the pet idea of the Malaysian prime minister, think again. His idea has the potential of turning the now world famous - or shall we say, infamous - 1Malaysia Development Berhad into a giant corporation you can ever imagine - even bigger than Bill Gate's Microsoft! At least, it could be, if the original course is stayed. It was supposed to inspire Malaysians to think big besides advance growth, according to its slogans screaming out of giant bill boards throughout the country. 'Backed' by the finance ministry who owns it - which means money will never be the problem - it can only succeed. But..it didn't. It failed! That's why it may have piqued many people's curiosity. How can a company flush with cash and can borrow any amount (billions) anytime could fail? Well, this may be in line with your thinking. People have seen since its inception - I mean after its name was changed in 1999 from Trengganu Investment Authority (TIA) to the present - it hasn't done any business! I have used present tense deliberately. It hasn't done any business yet. I mean if you are in business you need to make profit or find ways to make profit. Or close shop. Oh, I had heard about their filings of tax returns and hiring of a couple of internationally known auditors to sign off on their balance sheets; but these concerned only the company's borrowings and interests to be paid. Two massive bonds were issued to the tune of $7 billions. To buy up power plants. Again I want to say if you are in business to make money even investing in independent Power Plants, it should be done with the view to making a profit. The decision may be long term or short term, it doesn't matter, it has to make money, or no deal. May be they have done the right thing. Maybe luck was not on their side. Still, the amount is staggering. I didn't know having or managing so much money can be a problem! But many - especially the Malays - have not given up hope yet. Yes, may be the durians are just ripening; may be they need time and may fall soon!

Malaysia's Vision 2020
By:David Lang
Malaysia is supposed to be on its way to becoming a developed nation, by the year 2020. Will she make it (in less than five years -tick-tuck, tick-tuck)? There is no doubt the year 2020 is coming whether the country is ready or not, and if that will be the only requirement then Malaysia will attain that developed nation status on schedule. There is a question, though, Will Malaysia, or Malaysians, for that matter, be ready for that status as far as their affluence, quality of life's concern? Currently Malaysia's GNI per capita stood at US$10060. According to the World Bank high income economies are those with GNI per capita of US$12,745. And until Malaysians earn much more to be there, the developed nation status may not be achieved even by the year 2020. The futility of declaring a country a high income country when it's not, achieves nothing. May be even counter-productive; it lulls the country into false sense of success and premature celebration. Don't forget China reportedly overtook Japan as the world's second largest economy, but in actual fact China's citizens' ca pita income is a fraction of the incomes of the Japanese who earn $37,000. Chinese incomes range from $13,000. China's gross domestic product, taken as a whole, may beat Japan's, but in term of quality of life, and GNI per capita income, the criteria for a developed nation status, China still has a lot of catching up to do. That's why China still qualifies as recipient of Japan's economic aid meant for developing countries. Comparing with the Chinese per capita domestic product, Malaysia is even worse off. Unless the government bucks up and rushes to create more wealth for its citizens, the Vision 2020 dream may remain just that ..a dream.

Angela Merkel Deception
Angela Merkel Would Stay The Course Until She's Toppled. Period.
Was Angela Merkel a changed woman when she emerged to rail against the burqa after realizing her so-called compassion for Muslim refugees in general and Syrian immigrants in particular had become increasingly unpopular among Germans, and on the verge of changing her policy? That may be so, but only to those supporters of hers who lack ability to dissect her true intention. Checked.
You don't need rocket science to be able to see through her opaqueness and slick maneuvering to trick the German people to allow her to lead for another five years - by pretending to act tough on burqa but avoided saying anything about rolling back her open-border policy.Checked.
Chances are she would ban the burqa. You know why? Because she knew banning the burqa will be no big deal to the Muslims - not at all as the burqa wearing is not widespread; few if any Muslim women in Germany, will miss it. Except, in places where Muslims or the wearing of Islamic dresses have not yet been accepted. They will kick up the fuss and become sulking in order to win sympathy. In Germany, they have moved past that threshold long ago. Checked.
The Chancellor knew she could fool the German voters again by seeming to be harsh against her beloved Syrian refugees for a while. Poor Germans - they had been had by their own kind who they believed cared for them. Checked.
Wake up Germans. Stop being so trusting. Look around you. What had happened to Denmark, Sweden or Austria? Open your eyes. Europe is upside down! Do you know who made this happen? Angela Merkel? No, not exactly. It was President Obama of the US! Lest you don't know, the man who had won the Nobel Prize without having to do anything, unless you want to reward him for winning the American presidency. Checked.
Angela Merkel or Hillary Clinton, if you have heard of her, both were President Obama's stooges carrying out his plans to bring back the glories of his ancestors' religion. Islam! Checked.
Did you all really fall for his ruse that he's a Christian? Checked.
Maybe not. But here's a thing you should ponder on. Obama had been systematically dismantling America from day one of his presidency. Christian America, or used to be before the 2008. Now you have to say Happy Holiday even though it's on Christmas day, instead of Merry Christmas! He never badmouths Islam, or called Muslim terrorists radicalized Muslims or extremist Muslims. Even a crazy Muslim army officer gunned down 13 young soldiers in Fort hoot about to be shipped to Afghanistan was not punished by Obama. His reaction to those murders was summed in one word: "incomprehensible." And he had been filling America with Muslim refugees - even from Somali! Checked.
The fact that America had not been totally destroyed was not because Obama didn't want its destruction but because he didn't do it in blatant way and that needed more time which had saved America - it resulted in his having not enough time to completely destroy America. Like Britain which a British leader said recently that Britain still could be rescued from the Muslims if we act fast and firmly. We should rally to support a new leader who is not liberal and who doesn't subscribe to multiculturalism! That's the only way for the West to survive. Checked.

If You Think It's Impossible Think Again
It's True, Crime Does Not Pay
What seemed impossible could be possible if driven by a strong reason. Let me tell you about a man who could squeeze himself into an earthen jar so small the police didn't search for him there. Checked.
Who would have thought a fully-grown man could go inside such a small place? Checked.
And he did it in a hurry, too, as the police were in hot pursuit. In fact, the police was so hot on his tail they could almost touch him. Checked.
About less than a year ago, the police launched a manhunt for Lim Ah Chai (that's his name, and a slew of other names he adopted to get away from the penalty of his crimes). After obviously investigating his movements and haunts for sometime, the authorities tracked him back to his birth place in Kedah. Checked.
Though he was afraid, he never thought he would be cornered in his own family home.Checked.
That explained why he had to instantly shrink himself a man of 5 feet eight inches down to about 3 feet and a few inches! That's the size that he would have to be to be able to squeeze into such a small jar that the police never thought he would be there at all! Checked.
After the police had left, after they gave up, after ransacking the house thoroughly for what (to the fugitive) seemed an eternity, the task of getting him out of the hole was even harder and ten times more painful as the damaged skeletons could not be moved without excruciating pain.Checked.
Racked with pain, the man kept yelling uncontrollably and clinging to the hands that helped pull him out "Oh, oh, ohhhhh! I can't stand it! Please, please, pleasssse!" He was finally pulled out of the miserable hole regardless of his pleas or protests, during which the man fainted again and again due to unbearable pain. The recovery from the manipulation of his body ( instant shrinking) took months, but he never regained his former physical, skeletal build he was born with. He was a broken man in the end both spiritually and physically. He never recovered, and died a horrible death racked with pain and guilt of his crimes. Aptly they say crime never pays!Checked.
