Who will win?

A friend of mine asked who will i think win the hulu selangor by-election.

Well, hmm..hard a question bcoz, i hate losing. Emotionally, I want BN to win, not because i like bN but because, BN deserves to win this time around. I can give so many reasons y, but emotionally, i feel so touched when Tun M went down to Serendah to reach out to people. 2 big names- Tun M & Najib hand in hand 4 d same cause, is not sth u see everyday..in PRK i mean. n they r fighting for the present govt- what makes me so emo is looking at Tun M-how fragile he looks, yet, his envision for Msia is still strong as ever.

this is d kind of a leader that we want- s1 who inspires, who don't care wht pp think of him, or wht pp will say about his decision to campaign. A great leader will not leave his reign behind just because he is not in control. A leader is one, who goes far as to ensure the betterment of all.

Well, even if BN lose, I guess, at least they have done their best. To me, if the rakyat don't want them to lead, they have to respectfully step down regally. After all, it is the people's choice isn't it?

to answer the question as to who will win, I bet, it will be BN- with few thousands majority.

Wanna bet?

The price tag of leadership

Maxwell (1993) wrote "the first victory they won was over themselves..self-discipline with all of them came first." -that is referring to the lives of great men.

Self-control then, refers to people who are willing to get a grip on their lives and take control of areas that will bring them success or failure. An individual usually has faith, be it a Muslim, or Christian. Religious affiliation gives meaning to our lives. And with that belief, there are certain conditions that we need to abide to. And in every religion, they enjoin good, and prohibit wrongdoings.

However, we are proned to make mistakes, we repent, try to forget, and we move on. Then again, the past may haunt us. This is the case with Zaid. He admitted to drinking, but that was a thing in the past. He apologized - appealing to people to accept his weaknesses. However, it is now up to the Hulu Selangor folks to decide the type of leader they want. Accepting Zaid means they give him a second chance and accept him the way that he is (the good and bad side of a man). On the other hand, accepting Zaid also means, we are compromising with the character of leaders who are going to lead us.

The choice now is with the Hulu Selangor people. I guess, we will just have wait and see.

Zaid is a scapegoat

I see Zaid as a capable leader, respected by all, especially when most of my friends read his books. However, a search on the net and chats with friends told me otherwise.

He has a colorful personality, skeleton in the closet, or some say- baggage. I don't want to believe that, but I am forced to weigh the facts, sort out the probable truths and not so truth about him.

Whatever it is, I feel his nomination is based on easy excuse PR can give to people if they lose this by-election. First, if they lose, they will say Zaid is not a local; if they win, it will boost PR's image, thus, giving them extra credit to continue with their slamming on the government.

Commonalities between Woods & Anwar

Question: Should Woods be held accountable for his action?
Answer: Yes
WHY:?
Because he is a fully-formed human being capable of thinking and making choices. He is matured enough to realize repercussions/consequences of his actions. Aristotle distinguishes moral from intellectual virtues. As a moral being, we should have both- moral: to discern right from wrong; and intellectual: capacity of thinking and make use of knowledge.
Woods, is lacking the moral aspect when he made the choice to have sex with other women beside his wife. Intellectually, I may say he has none, because to me, both are hand in hand.

Question 2: Should we still accept him in the society?
Answer: Probably not.
Reason: He is a role model, and with that are responsibilities that he has to uphold. His infidelity influences many people to justify their actions of cheating their spouses. The widespread media report that is being sensationalized makes people think that it is common nowadays to commit infidelity, and not received any punishments.

WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE ANWAR?

Anwar did it!!

People: ANWAR-tell the truth to the people.

Anwar: Ok ok i surrender, I just made up about APCO. I admit, I asked Zul to implicate you Najib with Altantuya! Yes, yes, I did it! I did it! Please Please, I made up stories about people trying to poison me, that was why i ran to seek shelter at Turky's embassy. Saiful, I am sorry, but I had to do what i had to do..My PKR members, I did it coz, I thought we could overpower BN-16 Sept was a hoax, I had to do it so you people could believe me!! I know I should be s0rry coz I talked bad about our country..

shouldn't be doing that..I did it! i did it!

Yes Anwar, what can I do for you?

"I am wearing this helmet because PR will soon go down the drain" ..miow miow....

Hulu Selangor is BN's!!!

P94 Hulu Selangor..PR can never win there!!

I am very certain that PR can never established its hold in Hulu Selangor.

Most of those in Hulu Selangor have pledged loyalty to PM, and BN, specifically. Only that they asked for BN to:

1) choose a candidate who is a local, from Hulu Selangor.
2) ensure their economic well-being.
3) to fight for their rights.

I bet PR realizes that their hold on Hulu Selangor has weakened and even the people there begin to digest the ineffectiveness of PR as their leaders. The main and only reason why Hindraf turned to BN again after realizing that PR can never fight their rights.

My only advise to BN, be sincere and look for what's best for the people there.

Why should we support our Government? Or shouldn't we?

It is easy to place a blame on someone or something, because not many people would be brave enough to own his/her mistakes, sins, or wrongdoings. It's also human nature to make excuses for things that go wrong.

Pakatan Rakyat, for all it's worth, is trying to manipulate people into thinking that the present government is ruled by those power-hungry people and 'money-eater.' They want to create doubts by attacking every aspect of developments (projects or programs alike) simply to condemn the government.

What we should do instead is:

WE SHOULD STRIVE TO MAKE THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT A BETTER GOVERNMENT. WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR PRU 13 TO MAKE THAT CHANGE. CHANGE CAN START NOW.

Many would think that, choosing PR over BN would make all the wrongdoings, all the weaknesses in our system go away. What we forget is, we are putting the blame on the government instead of taking the responsibility that we, the citizens of MALAYSIA, have roles to play in making the present government a better government.

Israel Agents: Are they?

Anwar today brought up the issue of the existence of Israeli agents in PDRM. So lame of an issue that I feel he has nothing else to say. Before this, he managed to stir the parliament with APCO being linked to Israel. Then, when people asked him to present the evidence, he failed to do so.

When this did not suit his desire, he tried another angle. But the issue remains the same- government has ties with Israelis.

It doesn't matter whether this accusation is true. The fact is, Anwar himself is a hypocrite. He is associating himself with the Israelis. There is nothing wrong with that. We have to be making use of those who are more advanced than us. To me, we can benefit from Israel and of course, we have to discern right from wrong.

Anwar is trying to ruin our country. How can he lead a country with all his hypocrisy?

What is it with APCO?

I don't understand the fuss with Apco. The Apco official has already released a statement yesterday about its agreement with Israel in 1992.

And today, Anwar is reiterating this fact hoping that people would buy this crap. He is trying to manipulate people into thinking that Malaysia's relation with Israel is a sham. What is perplexing in this is the fact that Anwar himself also does have a relation with the Jews. What more, he is the agent of Jews. His friends such as Martin Indyk and Wolfenson are Jews.

Nothing wrong with that. It's ok to have a relation with the Jews but the Muslims must also adhere to the quran and sunnah that we should be careful with this group of people.

But when you have a relation with people other than the Muslims and this relation is on the basis of improving oneself or for the sake of one's country, then it is ok. But, when you try to build a relation based on lies and aiming to ruin one's country or harming other people, this is when it becomes wrong.

between anwar, qaradawi..

I believe Anwar when he said he did not manipulate what Syeikh Yusuf said regarding his sodomy case. But what everyone should know about this video, is that it is very general in nature- specifically Syeikh delivers a fatwa that every Muslim should know-about zina/sodomy/fitnah-are big sins.

What Anwar is trying to imply from the video is that he is being 'fitnah' by Saiful. In a way, he is trying to manipulate people into thinking that he is being 'fitnah.' But how can this be, when Saiful claimed that he was being sodomised against his will (now, here we talk about physical forced or perhaps mental force-Anwar was after all a man with power to some1 like Saiful and his fear for him might overpower any resistance over him). Furthermore, Anwar was his saviour, helping him with his study and had given him a lot of opportunities that he could never imagine in his young adult life.

Now, Syeikh is right, nothing wrong with the fatwa. But, to say the least that the fatwa is directed towards Anwar's predicament, I would have to disagree. He did not manipulate Qaradawi's words, but he indeed tried to manipulate people into thinking that he is innocent.

Anwar and his Israeli's campaign

I do not understand the motive of blasting 1 Malaysia concept.

1 Malaysia or 1 Israel, is only a concept. If 1 Malaysia is what it takes to unite the people, then everybody must embrace it with open heart and mind. To me, it is just a matter of time to get people used to the idea. All the 8 moral values delineate in 1M are universal to all. They are moral values- values that we should instill in our children, even us, adults.

Anwar is trying his best to exploit people to disbelieve in the concept perhaps he himself, don’t want to see the importance of prudence, acceptance, and tolerance in individuals.

Can Anwar just shut up and ensure that his pkr members do not cause more chaos than it already is? Now the Indians are turning their backs on PR. That is 1.8 million votes flying out of the windows. Anwar should look for the good of the people and not attacking the government. . 1 finger pointing out, and the other four looking right back at him!

Narcissist: Aren't we all?

In all of us, there exists narcissism - a set of character traits egotism which forms a central part of us. It can be healthy, it can be also vice versa.

Hotchkiss (2003) however, detailed seven deadly sins of narcissism and they are: shamelessness, magical thinking, arrogance, envy, entitlement, exploitation, and bad boundaries.

Anwar to me, is formed partly by this narcissistic personality. He exploits people shamelessly with his magical thinking that his entitlement will do him good. He has bad boundaries that see him treat others as either exist to meet his needs or may as well not exist at all. Those who provide narcissistic supply to him will be treated as if they are part of the narcissist and be expected to live up to those expectations.

I still look up to Anwar.

PR's & Hindraf unrequited love

HINDRAF & PR: Lost love, unfulfilled dreams..

HINDRAF had been regarded as the trigger that helped changed the course of the country during the 12th GE. The rise of HINDRAF originated from the dissatisfaction with the regime ruled by UMNO which had been brewing for some years. They then turned to Pakatan Rakyat to help them with the predicaments faced by the Indians.

But recent development proves that even Pakatan Rakyat had failed the HINDRAF. This time around HINDRAF showed their defiance by declaring war against PR. This indeed will cause a 2nd Tsunami for PR in their quest to capture Putrajaya as well as winning the next GE.

A sad development for PR, it is expected though. PR is seen as a failure in itself. Its leadership incapability is an early sign of the catastrophe that will befall PR. The top leader, Anwar, is losing sight of what is important. The laser-like focus that catapulted him to the top is now shadowed by his obsession to clear himself off the sodomy trial. Why be scared Anwar? Well, simple explanation would be: A leader’s credibility the result of two aspects: what he does (competency) and who he is (character). In Anwar's case though, it is obvious there is a discrepancy between these two aspects in Anwar that creates an integrity problem.

Yes, Anwar has the charisma of a TB - charming yet dangerous and taking advantage of people who trust him. At the end of the day, the citizens have been toyed at the expense of political sentiments as well as the leadership incapability in PR.

HINDRAF knows this and realizes that PR will never be their champion, ever!!

what is left of Anwar?

A sense of pride may originate from various aspects: career, ability, or strengths, that differentiate one individual from another. Pride makes a person feel happy about his skills and accomplishments, without having to be the best or the only one capable of achievement. Pride leads to confidence instead of the arrogance.

However, when a person begin to feel that he is the best in the field and that no one else is or ever will be worthy of working with him- this is ego. Often, ego is easily bruised while true pride is harder to shake. Ego too, may cause a person to behave chauvinistically, or put down another's attributes. What I meant to say, is that everything we do in life, one way or another has to do with our ego. It is what drives us to be on the move.

To me, Anwar, as a man, has a strong personality, a good communication ability, and he can capture people with his mere physical presence.

What I dislike about him:
1) not taking accountability and assume his leadership position when things go bad;
2) gaining sympathy from the public hoping that perception of people of him lasts forever;

I also sympathize with him because at the end of the day, what will he gain for himself, his family, and his party?

I don't see pride anymore when I see him, it is more of ego that drives all his actions.

Who does Altantuya’s ghost haunt?

Once upon a time, a very beautiful woman was murdered and since then Najib has been implicated to her death.

But does everyone stop to think that, this is not the case. Let me just share my version of the story...While Pak Lah was still the PM, there were many who had anticipated that the next person in line would be Najib.

There was this particular group of people who knew Najib must be overthrown in order to take over the country. So, the plan was set in motion. The ploy was simple, to disgrace Najib and his wife. So, they tracked Najib every moves, possibly looking for ways to topple him before he even made it to the PM position.

Until one day, they found out about Altantuya, and this would be a perfect bait to incriminate Najib. And so, Altantuya was lured to Malaysia, killed, and this group of people made sure that Najib would be linked to her.
