The Most KIASU Tourists .... R V Also?

1.  Refuse to Return Stainless Steel Tableware

A group of tourists from a small town in China’s Zhejiang province surprised Singapore Airlines staff when they refused to hand over 30 sets of stainless steel tableware, reported a Chinese daily on Tuesday. 

After a meal provided on board, the Chinese passengers, who were on a tour of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, decided to keep the stainless steel knives and forks, said Qianjiang Evening News. 

Even though flight attendants told the tourists the stainless steel tableware were to be re-used, the tourists stubbornly refused to hand them over, saying that relatives who had flown with the airline in the past told them that they could keep the tableware. 

It was only after repeated warnings from a tour guide on the plane that they agreed to hand them over.The tour guide reportedly told the tourists that they were hurting China’s image abroad and to “stop hurting the reputation of Chinese people. 

2.  Fought Over Airplane Seats 

In the same report, the newspaper said Chinese tourists who were waiting to board at Singapore's Changi airport also fought over their airplane seats. As the plane did not give out seat numbers, the passengers arrived two hours early to queue for their seats. 

It was reported that those who queued up had specific preferences for seats, such as a window seat or a seat close to the front of the aircraft. Airport staff told the passengers that since it was still early, they were told to take a seat at the boarding lounge but the tourists refused, saying those who came early would lose their "advantage". 

However, a quick-thinking lady said if she could not physically queue for a seat, her luggage bag could. Following her lead, other passengers, too, began using their bags to queue at the boarding gate, and a line formed again. 

When it was time for boarding, and staff announced that the elderly, disabled, pregnant women and parents with infants were entitled to priority boarding, impatient tourists rushed towards their luggage, causing chaos. Other passengers who witnessed the incident could not help but laugh. 

P/S: Over here they are many in the same category, not only at the airport, be it at hotels, boarding buses, trains, buying tickets at cinemas, rushing for free gifts, even throwing rubbish on the public places or somebody else surrounding or walk the dog far away from one's own house and let the dog to do it's work on somebody else places as long as not one own compound. 

Every penny spent must get the equivalent return if not more, mau selalu untung, tak boleh rugi ... and free things are the best in world even though those gifts are not relevant or needed. Perhaps those who was laughing, unknowingly also behaved in such a way.... you won't know till someone mentioned it ...... that's include me ....hahaha.... That's human's greed, ego and etc....

Someone...!

The traits of great people 

not like many who are now at our corridor of power...!

And a few 
whose time has lapsed 
but still want to smell that power...!

Forgive Those Insult You

Why No to the Beasts of Communism and Zionism?

Because.....

Under Communism and Zionism, people lose their rights to the State and they are no longer considered as individuals but as either assets or liabilities to the State. This is why the Communists and the Zionists would shoot anyone who holds a different ideology, because under these two regimes, human rights and freedom no longer exists.

P/S: But over here, these days, situation look like that we are in the state of Communism or Zionism...!  Many perceive or freely condemning both the Communist and the Zionist like they are the only savor of the majority's principles but knowingly or not knowingly behaving like these two beasts...!  

Just Because He's CM Lim Guan Eng Thus Big Noise...!!

Sebuah gambar kereta milik Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang yang diparkir secara salah tersebar di Internet dan mencetuskan perdebatan sama ada Lim Guan Eng mempunyai keistimewaan tempat letak kereta khas. 

Rakaman gambar yang tersebar itu menunjukkan kenderaan milik Lim diletakkan di kawasan yang mempunyai papan tanda amaran. Gambar yang diambil pada tengah hari semalam itu juga telah dikongsi secara meluas di laman Facebook dengan kapsyen "Is double line parking the privilege of PG1?" (Adakah meletakkan kenderaan di garisan berkembar keistimewaan PG1?) 

Penyokong BN dalam komentar di laman sosial mendakwa Lim yang juga Setiausaha Agung DAP itu melanggar undang-undang secara terang-terangan. 

Pihak lain pula mengatakan, isu itu merupakan perkara kecil yang diperbesarkan memandangkan kawasan tempat letak kereta memang menjadi masalah di pusat bandar Pulau Pinang.

P/S:  Teringat saya di bandar Kajang satu ketika dahulu, ada seorang kenamaan yang selalu membawa kereta besarnya yang mempakir di atas bahu jalan. Tidak ada tindakan pun....! Tanya pekedai-pekedai di bandar ini, semuanya pasti tahu...!  Begitu jugalah dengan tuan -tuan punya kereta yang mempunyai lambang-lambang kenamaan/kebesaran tertentu pada plat kereta mereka.... lihatlah perangai mereka memandu atau mempakir kereta mereka.... kenapa tak heboh pulak...?

Apa Cina Mau...?

An interesting article by Carol Ng with some points which I have highlighted below which I could not have agree more. I believe these are the essence of what the Chinese want and not that of the power grab that some, particularly a group of unscrupulous politicians or opportunists who are so preoccupied with maintaining their own position, power and  greed that put the blame to the Chinese.

What do the Chinese want?  
(edited from Carol Ng's article)

Even more amazing is the demand for Chinese to go back to China, and Indians go back to India too. I’m not sure what makes them think China or India would take us ‘back’ in the first place. I believe that for most of us, going ‘back’ to China, even if we legally could, is nowhere on the list.  

Basically, everything we don’t like about Malaysia, is a lot worse in China. If we migrated anywhere, we’d rather go to Singapore, America, Australia, United Kingdom, which may not be perfect, but there is more equal opportunity, more freedom, higher pay and a good chance at a better livelihood. 

But for a lot of us, we’d rather stay in Malaysia, simply because most of our happy memories, friends and family are here. Plus the food here is just too good. 

So if we don’t like China and we’d rather not run off to some developed country, why do we Chinese complain so much about Malaysia if it’s not that bad? I believe it can be summarised as follows:

We want to show off how successful we are compared to others.
We want to have pride in what we earn, not receive money for nothing.
We want a secure future for our children.
(P/S: Perhaps this is the main reason Chinese are = to Kiasu )

And even if our government doesn’t give us what we want, then at the very least, we want to be left alone to do earn our livelihood and carry out our traditions and beliefs without others threatening our ways.

Malaysia is rich in natural resources, which when managed well, would help Malaysia develop quickly. Yet when we visit our tiny neighbour down south, we have to pay double the price for the same thing. Singapore’s GDP ranks among the top 5 in the world, but Malaysia is all the way below, at 55th. How can this be? We are losing face to our tiny neighbour!

So we complain because we want to be better than them. The Chinese like taking pride in telling people whatever we earned was through our own hard work. But if a Chinese is not working and just receiving money from elsewhere, we may think they are lucky, but not someone very respectable as they are not contributing to society.

This is partly why the Chinese do not favour monetary handouts like BR1M. There is no pride in receiving money for doing no work. This is why we hate corruption so much as corrupted people are essentially getting money for nothing. It’s especially annoying when we know that money was earned through our own hard work to begin with.

And for Chinese, ensuring a secure future for our children is very important. So much that some poor parents work all their life and stay frugal just to ensure their children get a good education and are successful in future. So what would be better is to provide scholarships to our intelligent children.

You would never see the Chinese demand scholarships for poorly performing Chinese students to get scholarships, far as we are concerned, if you cannot study, you don’t deserve a scholarship. We only complain when a student has performed very well in his or her studies, but is still unable to get a scholarship in Malaysia just because they are not of a certain race.

Even if we don’t get whatever rights we are supposed to get as a Malaysian citizen, we just do our work or run our businesses quietly and carry out our traditions and beliefs.

But some people just can’t leave us alone even to do that. Why? Because we are perceived as a major threat. The Chinese make up 23% of the Malaysian population and Indians even less at 7%. How logical is it that we would be a threat to a race that makes up well over half the country’s population? 

(P/S: So it's just the unscrupulous politicians and opportunists who created and spread the lies to deceive the dependence majority to hate and blame the Chinese for everything in order to hold on to their power, greed and vast opportunity to enriching themselves).

While some extremists are busy lodging reports and protesting about anything and everything that they perceive to be a threat to their race or religion, we just continue doing our work. The most Chinese do is complain online or among each other, and then back to doing our own thing.

And instead of being appreciated, or at least left alone to focus on our work, which by the way, is how we improve the country’s economy, our beliefs are hijacked to demonstrate some misguided form of racial superiority, and we are told to go back to China. Which seems to show that some people are just way too free to do these kinds of things instead of doing actual work and contributing something to the development of our country. 

A lot of Malaysians have already left the country to find greener pastures elsewhere as they see better opportunity in other countries than here, which I personally find sad. As easy as it would be for me to leave too, I’d rather stay and continue to hope for Malaysia to truly become the racially harmonious and progressive country it proclaims itself to be, instead of a divided people that have fallen to the tricks and lies of certain unscrupulous politicians. 

Wishing my Malay friends a Selamat Hari Raya and hope that this helps create a better understanding and respect between all races and religions.

Ha..Ha.. Is it the Effect of the So-Called "Tsunami Cina"

A senior MIC leader has questioned the government over the reduced intake of Indian and Chinese students in local universities this year while slamming its representative in the education ministry.

It was "most unfair and biased public university intake in the history of Malaysia."

He said the Chinese student intake had dropped from an average of 25 per cent over the years to 19 per cent this year.

PM Najib Says It Again, He's PM For All Malaysians

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak memberi jaminan setiap rakyat tidak kira bangsa mahupun kepercayaan agama tidak akan dipinggirkan daripada arus pembangunan negara. Najib berkata beliau bertekad menjadi perdana menteri yang mewakili setiap rakyat tidak kira warna kulit, kepercayaan agama mahupun fahaman politik. “Untuk itu, saya akan pastikan kemajuan yang bakal dibawa ke negara ini memberi manfaat kepada setiap rakyat,” katanya dalam blog www.1malaysia.com.my 

Perhaps Re-Elections of the Disputed Contituencies are the Best Solution

Heard and loud that Pakatan Rakyat, PR is to file at least 35 election petitions to challenge the just concluded 13th GE results and BN even more, at least 50 petitions.

PR leaders and the majority of the 51% of the voters who have voted PR have accused BN with the collaboration of the EC of  'dirty work' and has stolen away the final results of the GE. The PR are engaging in rallies all over the country to drum their case. The latest planned rally would be a mammoth and major one to be held in June 16 in the Federal Capital KL.

The government which is accused as illegal by the other side retaliated by arresting and has charged several dominant leaders of the opposition for organising the rallies or participating in forums that run down the disputed government.

BN on the other hand and for the first time has vowed to file more than 50 election petitions. Prior to the 13th GE, we have gone through twelve elections and  I could not remember once that BN has filed a petition to challenge the results of each of the election. Astonishing, for the first time it has planned to file such a big number of petitions.

This means both sides of the divided are not satisfied with the results, perhaps they are referring to  the conduct of the election  by the EC.  When both sides are not satisfied and complaining, surely they must be some substantive truth to their accusations.

I think the best way to settle the situation for once and for all is to let all the petitions to go through and to let reelections  to run at the respective constituencies.  Hopefully this will satisfy everybody and to stop the accusation of stolen GE results. The reelection will also enable the affected voters in the respective constituencies another chance to show their genuine preference of the party they want to lead them in their area and to occupy the coveted Putrajaya.

Hopefully election judges who are assigned to hear all these petitions to decisively put a final verdict that reelection is the only solution to the present predicament.

At Last A 'Banana' Chinese Has Spoken Out

Glad that Datuk Mary Yap, the new Deputy Education Minister has spoken out.

What's the different when one who is Chinese educated and got a credit in Bahasa Cina paper at SPM level and based mainly on that, beside others criteria, is promoted to be the headmaster of a Chinese school (kononnya bersemangat Cina dan akan menjaga 'kesucian' sekolah Cina). However this person send all his children to a Sekolah Kebangsaan.

Now, compare to a 'banana' Chinese who is not eligible to be promoted to such a school just because he or she a 'banana' Chinese, so seen to be less Chinese (kononnya Cina murtad yang akan menajiskan sekolah Cina). However the 'banana' Chinese send all his/her children to Chinese schools. So, what Chinese spirit the Chinese bigots are talking about? Within the same kind the Chinese bigots apply differentiation. Perhaps these solely Chinese speaking bigots have inferior complex, because I just do not believe they have the superiority compare to 'banana' Chinese where the 'banana' Chinese can speak well in several languages and mixed well internationally, beside surely these 'banana' Chinese can speak and understand Chinese, at least their own Chinese dialects.

Mary Yap: Tak jadi masalah tak pandai bahasa Cina 

Timbalan Menteri Pelajaran dan Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Mary Yap Kain Ching berkata tidak menjadi masalah baginya untuk menangani isu pendidikan Cina walaupun beliau tidak fasih berbahasa Cina.

Menurutnya, walaupun tidak pandai membaca dan bertutur dalam bahasa tersebut, beliau kini dibantu seorang pegawai yang akan memberitahu apa yang dilaporkan dalam akhbar bahasa Cina.

"Itu bukan isu. Saya pandai berbahasa Melayu dan Inggeris. Saya boleh baca dan bercakap dalam dua bahasa ini. "Saya juga ada pegawai untuk bantu saya yang akan beri nasihat dan bacakan surat khabar Cina dan beritahu apa yang dilaporkan. 

"Ada ramai pemimpin di dunia yang tak fasih berbahasa Inggeris tapi disebabkan ada pasukan yang kuat, mereka boleh bimbing negara dengan begitu berkesan," katanya. 

MP Tawau itu berpendapat, beliau tidak mewakili kaum Cina tetapi wakil kepada rakyat Malaysia. "Saya telah bekerja di bawah kementerian pelajaran hampir 36 tahun dan telah berjumpa dengan pelbagai kaum, guru, pengetua dan sebagainya. 

"Saya tak lihat diri sebagai mewakili orang Cina tetapi sebagai orang Malaysia. Inilah unjuran daripada 1Malaysia. Tapi bila cakap mengenai pendidikan Cina, ia merupakan sebahagian daripada tugas saya untuk menyelesaikannya," katanya lagi.

Apa Lu Mau Lagi...?

....seorang yang mempunyai mentaliti pendatang atau disebut dalam bahasa Inggeris sebagai ‘migrant mentality’ kerana sikapnya yang tamak dan haloba yang keterlaluan. Hendak memerintah mesti berdekad-dekad lamanya. Hendak mendapat laba sampai tidak tentu sempadannya. Kalau berkuasa hendak lama-lama, wang ringgit hendak berkoyan-koyan dan kalau boleh semuanya hendak ditinggalkan kepada keturunannya semua harta dan kuasa yang setinggi gunung. Itu semua adalah sikap orang yang mempunyai mentaliti ‘migrant’ tadi. 

Budaya dan sikap itu telah tertanam begitu dalam  pemikiran dan kepercayaan pimpinan hari ini dan ia tidak dapat diatasi lagi. Ia hanya boleh diatasi dengan memulakan negara baru dengan kumpulan pimpinan yang baru keseluruhan dalam parti itu.

Kalaulah benar begitu, kenapa orang mempunyai migrant mentality ini mempersoalkan kumpulan migrant lain, apa lu mau lagi. Pada hal apa yang dia sendiri mahu lagi itu lebih melampau (worst) dari kumpulan migrant yang gigih berusaha dengan keringat sendiri tetapi dijadikan sebagai convinent target atau punching bag untuk menutup niat sejahat-jahatnya sendiri.

Beza Cinta Tanah Air & Cinta Penguasa

Tiada pihak yang boleh memaksa orang lain mencintai parti politik yang berkuasa dalam watannya atas nama semangat patriotisme. Tiada siapa pula yang boleh ditakrifkan sebagai tidak patriotik hanya kerana dia tidak menyokong kerajaan tertentu yang berkuasa atas negeri atau negaranya. Kuasa politik boleh datang dan pergi. Boleh bertukar ganti.

Orang Kelantan yang tidak suka PAS bukan bererti tidak sayang Kelantan. Orang Penang yang tidak suka DAP bukan bererti tidak sayang Pulau Pinang. Orang Selangor yang tidak suka PKR bukan bererti tidak sayang Selangor. Orang Malaysia yang tidak suka BN bukan bererti tidak cintakan negara.

Mungkin yang rakyat tidak suka itu ialah penyelewengan kuasa dan penyalahgunaan harta rakyat oleh mereka yang memegang tampuk-tampuk tersebut. Namun, sayang negeri dan negara tetap kekal.

Jadi mereka jangan cuba menafikan kecintaan seseorang kepada tanahair; negeri ataupun negara mereka hanya kerana tidak mendapat sokongan politik yang idamkan.

Not a Bit Changed ... Arrogance As Ever...!!

The first thing that Home Minister Zahid Hamidi did on taking office was to tell Malaysians who are not happy with Malaysia’s political system to leave Malaysia and go live in another country. 

If Zahid were a British Cabinet Minister, by now he would have been asked to resign. In the UK you are forced to resign for an even lesser offense than that. And he would have had to resign, no two ways about it.  

Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak should, at the very least, demand that Zahid publicly apologise to Malaysians. Forcing him to resign is the correct thing to do but at the very least he must be made to apologise.

Is Najib prepared to demonstrate to Malaysians that he is really serious about his transformation program by doing this? 

The ball is now in Najib’s court. I would suggest Najib walk the talk and do something about this rather than pretend that this never happened. 

And what was it that Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said? Ah, yes, Malaysia is a country with a first world infrastructure but a third world mentality. How true!

Carbon Dioxide on the Rise...!! But Politicians Here Still Fighting to Maintain Their Power and Wealth

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Breaks 3-Million-Year Record

 Fri, May 10, 2013

The Keeling Curve shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are increasing

The proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere broke 400 parts per million Thursday (May 9), according to one of the best climate records available.

The Keeling Curve, a daily record of atmospheric carbon dioxide, has been running continuously since March 1958, when a carbon dioxide monitor was installed at Mauna Loa in Hawaii. On the first day, the observatory measured a carbon dioxide concentration of 313 parts per million (ppm). The number means there were 313 molecules of carbon dioxide in the air per every million air molecules.

Now, the Keeling Curve has reached 400 ppm for the first time in human history, with a new measure of 400.03 ppm. The data are preliminary, pending quality control checks, according to the National Oceaninc and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The rollover from 399 won't make an appreciable difference in climate by itself, but the continuing rise in greenhouse gas concentration is already doing so, climate scientists say.

A concentration of 400 ppm is a new high-water mark, of course, and more than anything else, has symbolic significance,

Upward creep

Each year, the Keeling Curve shows an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which peaks in May. The number then drops, reaching a minimum in October. This maximum-minimum pattern, repeated seasonally, reveals how trees withdraw carbon dioxide from the air in summer to grow and then release it through dead, decaying leaves and wood in the winter.

But humans release carbon dioxide into the air, too, by burning fossil fuels. This activity has caused the Keeling Curve to creep ever upward since 1958: The lows get a little higher each year, as do the highs. It is a reminder of just how uncontrolled this dangerous experiment we're playing with the planet really is..

What 400 ppm means

In the 1,000 years before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, atmospheric carbon dioxide held steady at around 270 to 280 parts per million.

Scientists believe that the most recent period with a 400 ppm level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was the Pliocene, between five million and three million years ago, according to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which keeps track of the Keeling Curve.

It was a different world. Global average temperatures were between 5.4 and 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit (3 to 4 degrees Celsius) higher than today, and sea level was as much as 131 feet (40 meters) higher in some places. Even the least-affected regions saw sea-level rises 16 feet (5 meters) higher than today's.

A major difference, though, is the speed at which carbon dioxide is rising today. Typically, the Keeling Curve shows increases of 2 to 2.5 ppm a year, Mann said. In the 1950s and 1960s, carbon dioxide increased by less than 1 ppm each year, according to Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

We're on course for more than 450 ppm in a matter of decades if we don't get our fossil fuel emissions under control quite soon.
