After failing for 3 consecutive attempts, Mansor Othman has managed to secure his seat as Penanti State Assemblyman at the cost of Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin.
With months of waiting and speculating, Penangites now find their new Deputy Chief Minister from a 3 times rejected candidate of PKR. A choice specially recommended by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and condone by the Chief Minister.
With the transparency and accountability recommended by Lim Guan Eng, we could only hope that Mansor Othman can have the credibility to convince the ever high-demand penangites.
How dissapoint we are that upon swear in as the new Deputy Chief Minister I, his 1st announcement on the appointment of council chairman had resulted to 9 PKR councillors threatening to resign. But Penangites makes their choice.
With the announcement of Lim Guan Eng to give RM10,000.00 to the whistleblower, his hope to eredicate corruption again astound me for his creativity with monetary rewards. I did not expect Penang government to have a lot of funds during economy crisis, but the Penang Chief Minister shows how strong the financial capability of the state. At least, he dare to make such commitment and I hope that he can be answerable to the State Assembly on how such an amount being used (or allocated), otherwise, this defeat his commitment on transparency.
This is the choice of the majority voters of Penang and I hope that the choice is a wise one, although I do not see how prudent is the state being governed.

People's Representatives Should Not Be Bar To The August Hall
Every 5 years (or less), the people of Malaysia has the right to vote in accordance with the democracy system to choose the people's representative into the people's assembly.
It is in the august hall that the people's Government are formed and answerable to the people's representatives.
To suspend or bar the people's representatives to enter the people's assembly is a mockery of the democratic system and the people's rights to be represented and be heard.
In this term alone, we saw many people's representatives being barred, suspended, order to leave or chase out from the parliament and state assembly. Incidents such Datuk Siringan Gubat (for saying "ngam..."), Gobind Singh Deo (for calling "murderer"), Zambry and his Perak State Exco (for taking office of Perak State Government or after the committee inquiry), Sivakumar (for refusing to vacate his speaker's seat (literally) and the latest being Datuk Seri Dr. Mohd Khir Toyo (for failing to attend the Balkis inquiry).
The 12th term of the Malaysia Parliament shows that the people have elected the people's representatives who formed the "Circus" parliament. (ref: "Live TV Coverage Brings Parliament 'Circus' To The Bedroom" http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsgeneral.php?id=380369).
The Perak State Assembly can't be better with the frog from BN leaped to PR and the frogs from PR jumped to BN which caused the suspension orders against Zambry and his men together with the Speaker been dragged out from the hall.
Other points aside, no elected representatives should be forbidden to enter the hall of people's representatives for any reason which would make their status as people's representatives pointless and yes, this also applies to the situation of Datuk Seri Dr. Mohd Khir Toyo (Even though the public may perceived that there maybe sweet vengeance for the 30 months suspension imposed against the imposer of his suspension).
To prevent the role of a people's representative to do his work is like calling the people of his constituency idiots for choosing a defunct and unperformable leader (although he may gain publicity and another term in office by being victim of circumstances). What is more dissapointing is that the outcome of suspension shows no productive outcome, ie, the forum less another member, the people lack another voice to be heard, the media lacks another news creator in the hall and the law is pass without another legislator.
The exercise of power to suspend is a draconian one and should not be exercise as a mode of convenience. Only in a drastic and unpreventable circumstances, should such power be exercise and even if exercise, it should be exercise with care and self restrain. We cannot be expecting the seat of a constituency be vacant/suspend by another person of another constituency(with due respect, eventhough by the Speaker).
One cannot agree with the suspension of any people's representative for a period more than the discussion which he had resulted delay, mockery or difficulty).

Flags of Bukit Gantang
The battle drums roar as the dusk of nomination ended with 3 candidates representing the established, the avenger and the opportunity seeker.
The land of durian orchard is now fill with the flame of spirits and streams of flags, but who would the voters of Bukit Gantang elect?
As the dawn unveiled, the battle among Ismail Saffian, Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin and Kamarul Ramizu Idris begin. So what say you, the beloved residents of Bukit Gantang? Are you ready to be the decision maker?
Let's face it. As a voter in Bukit Gantang, what other choice do one have besides Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin? Who is Ismail Saffian to you and me? Whose reputation should we entrusted in? No doubt, the journey of the people does not begin here but the trust to the government may end here and thus bury the peace and harmony our forefathers fight so hard to maintain.
To the people of Bukit Gantang, this is not a war of representation, it never is, Malaysia is facing a crucial time in the global crisis. Maybe Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin is a good Menteri Besar but in national level, his role as an opposition cannot be a beam to lay on in support of our beloved nation during this point of time. This is not a time of showing approve or disapprove of Perak state government, this is a time to choose a leader in the august hall of parliament. A hall of national representatives to govern a country in crisis.
The dawn of a new era requires the construction of a new dream and yes, we need another point of view but not during the time of confident crisis where the breaK of our fragile trust towards the government shall lead us to nowhere but chaos and doom. Yes, and here we stand, between the devil and the deep blue sea, are we ready to jump?
This country cannot split and at a time when Malaysia is in dire straits, I urge the voters to support a nation of one and united.
The flags in Bukit Gantang are aplenty now, but many will fall as there will only be 1 victor amongst the 3. The people needs sustainable growth and progress, let us not stop now because of hate and dissatisfactions. Feelings we have, but Malaysia needs a larger mandate for its survival and let us not stop here, this country needs your support.
The consequences, the fate of the nation and survival of our future, the citizen of Bukit Gantang, make up your decision, are you ready?

Minggu Perpaduan Malaysia
Hari ini (24.05.2009), Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Perdana Menteri Malaysia bersama dengan Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon telah bersama-sama melancarkan "Minggu Perpaduan Tahun 2009" pada pukul 10 pagi di IOI Mall, Puchong Selangor.
Tidak dinafikan, walaupun setelah 46 tahun Malaysia ditubuhkan, perhubungan etnik di Malaysia masih berasaskan semangat daerah, kaum, agama dan kebudayaan asal usul masing-masing.
Saya berpendapat tidak salah untuk setiap kaum mengekalkan identiti kaum masing-masing di Malaysia. Walaubagaimanapun, apa yang menyedihkan adalah, kebanyakkan rakyat Malaysia masih hidup di zon keselesaan masing-masing dan tidak berusaha untuk berinteraksi dengan kaum lain di Malaysia.
Adalah amat merbahaya seandainya dengan perkembangan penduduk di Malaysia ini, kaum masing-masing semakin terikat dengan zon selesa masing-masing yang mana kaum Melayu hanya hidup antara Melayu, Kaum Tiong Hua hanya berinteraksi sesama masyarakat Tiong Hua dan Kaum India hanya bermasyarakat di kalangan rakyat India sahaja.
Seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam wayang "TaleNtime" yang diarahkan Yasmin Ahmad, sekiranya rakyat Malaysia kekal mencuriga terhadap kaum lain di Malaysia, kita akan senantiasa dikurung dalam komuniti kita yang menyebabkan satu beban psikologi yang tidak memanfaatkan mana-mana pihak.
Adalah pendapat saya, terdapat sebahagian pihak rakyat Malaysia yang cuba untuk memecahkan sempadan perkauman dan menghidupkan satu identiti kebangsaan Malaysia, tetapi kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia yang masih enggan untuk melepaskan kebanggaan kaum dan agama. Contohnya pegangan terhadap keutuhan agama Islam dan status Bumiputra oleh kaum Melayu, kebanggaan terhadap kebudayaan 5000 tahun dan pencapaian kaum oleh kaum Tiong Hua dan kepentingan kepada perikatan agaama dan status keluarga oleh kaum India.
Pegangan identiti kaum merupakan satu norma antarabangsa dan untuk mencapai perpaduan, kita tidak perlu mengadakan polisi asimilasi seperti di negara lain seperti Thailand dan Indonesia untuk mencapai perpaduan kebangsaan. Sekiranya rakyat Malaysia bekerjasama, mempunyai matlamat yang sama, menghadapi rintangan yang sama dan menghargai pencapaian bersama, kita telah bersatu dan perpaduan bukan sekadar satu slogan.

失落大马国羽的困境。期待韩国国羽的崛起。
5月16日晚上7时正，我坐在电视机面前，观看直播的2009年苏迪曼杯羽毛球混合团体赛的其中一部半决赛，大马队与中国队的比赛，大马队与赛前预期的以3：0负于更强大的中国队。这是第11届的苏迪曼杯，也是大马国羽队首次踏入半决赛，完成了赛前大马羽毛球总会设下的半决赛目标。
大马国羽队负于整体实力更完整和强大的中国队，比赛结果的胜负是在各方预料之中。大马队在混双和女双的项目与中国队实力悬殊，大马队的得分来源便落在男单，男双及女单项目。在男单与男双项目，两队实力相当，取胜对方的把握各占五成。然后大马队再期待女单黄妙珠能够扮演黑马角色，爆冷擒下她从未较量过的中国新近女单选手王涵仪。
我对比赛结果不敢到沮丧和意外，只是对大马国羽球员在场上的表现感到无比的失望。
李宗伟与林丹实力相当，但是俩人的差异明显体现在心理素质方面。林丹在球场上比赛时，能够时刻保持高度的专注力和集中力，而且对比赛的求胜欲望数当今羽坛之最。反观李宗伟在自己频频犯下几个失误的球点时，便失去专注力和集中力，信心也开始崩溃，这些迹象都实实在在的体现在其毫无遮掩的，垂头丧气的脸部表情，导致他无法发挥他实际的技术水平，最终再次栽在林丹拍下。比赛仍未结束，凡是都还有一线反击赶上的取胜希望。但是李宗伟似乎仍未深得领悟以上的道理。比赛仍在半途进行中，比分只落后数分，却明显斗志力不继，信心动摇，到底还是精神力量不足。
古建杰/陈文宏和中国队的蔡赟/付海峰的比赛，双方比赛高潮迭起，紧张刺激，扣人心弦。本来马来西亚的钻石组合，在拿下第一局后，应可以再拿下第二局，取下胜利。但是俩人在第二局时，明显轻敌，比赛仍未结束，心情却开始放松，集中力不足，导致失去第二局，将比赛带入第三局，而后微分输掉比赛。
比赛结束后，我非常感概，也若有所思。我心里苦思心中一直以来的迷惑，对大马国羽球员实力具备，却频频在大赛中失利而不解。我是羽毛球运动的爱好者，一直有注意大马羽毛球运动的发展，也常坐在电视机前观看现场直播大马国羽球员的比赛。
我不是感概大马国羽球员在这次2009年苏迪曼杯比赛输掉了比赛，而是对大马国羽球员比赛时散漫的态度，薄弱的斗志和泛泛的体育竞赛精神，尤其感到非常失望。
我认为大马国羽球员迫切需要在心理和精神层面进行深度的和严格的锻炼和审视。大马国羽球员在每次比赛时必须表现出顽强的斗志力、意志力、抗压性；认真看待每一场比赛，时刻保持高度的专注力和集中力，还要拥有强烈的追求胜利的欲望。
说实在的话，大马国羽球员在纪律性，凝聚力，团队精神的表现，不如中印韩丹。大马国羽球员需要学习尊重国家、群众、对手和自己。在参加任何国际比赛时，国羽球员要时刻谨记他们是代表国家而比赛，他们在场内和场外的行为举止，都将体现国家民族的价值观和精神观。现场群众和电视机观众也是比赛的组成部分，所以球员应该认真比赛，把自身的实力水平都淋漓尽致的发挥出来，让群众见识高水平的，赏心悦目的比赛。各国球员在其运动员生涯中，能够彼此有机会成为竞争对手，切磋球艺，属难能可贵；更何况实力相当的对手可遇不可求，球员的体能和精神状态也难以时刻维持高峰，所以球员更应该把握机会， 要“英雄惺惺相惜”的态度认真看待每场比赛。运动员的生涯是短暂的，所以球员应该尽最大的努力，认真去比赛以创造好成绩，为自己于羽坛上留下光辉灿烂的岁月，让自己于观众的记忆里留下深刻的，刻骨铭心的印象和赞赏，在自身国家运动员生涯中不留下任何遗憾。
要栽培出色的、优秀的羽毛球运动员，需要国家各造多方面的配合和努力，包括政府资金的投入，大马国家羽球总会的英明领导，教练团队的素质训练和规划，球员本身高度的自律性和对教练团队的绝对的服从性；以便形成一体化的、统一化的集体意志，作为球员在球场上源源不绝的比赛动力。
我对韩国国羽球员所体现的崇高的国家和民族精神，和高度的纪律性，尤其心生敬佩。在平时训练时，球员都非常认真，绝对服从教练的指导。而且，球员非常谦虚，对教练尤其非常恭敬。在比赛时，球员都会认真看待每一场比赛，即使比分落后，也不轻言放弃，尝试顶住压力，作力挽狂澜努力一番，即使输了比赛，也虽败犹荣。在球场外，韩国球员都保持着一贯的集体行动，集体活动，给人感觉非常有纪律和组织性。这是大马国羽球员应该多多向他人学习的地方。
韩国球员李龙大的出现，不止为韩国国羽体育带来新的希望和新的动力，也为世界羽坛注入新的竞争格局和新的气象。被誉为羽坛一代双打和混双奇才朴柱奉的衣钵继承者，李龙大的加入无疑能够提升韩国国羽团队的整体实力，在世界羽坛比赛中，再次崛起形成另一股不可忽视的势力。自从李弦一挂牌退役后，韩国男单球员出现真空的迹象。希望现为韩国国羽队男单总教练的李矛能够于这五年之内为韩国栽培出色的男单球员，以提升韩国国羽的整体实力，让世界羽坛形成多元性的竞争格局。

Memimpin Melalui Teladan
Leadership By Example or "Memimpin Melalui Teladan" was long taught since our younger years in primary school.
Our leaders have always managed to show extraordinary examples on how to become a "leader", a "politician", a successful "businessman" and most important of all, what "say one thing, but do another thing means".
It is more often than not that whenever you drive in the highway, you will see that the speed limit is 110km/j (110 kilometers per hour). However, you can always see the police escorting the politicians and diplomats driving more than 110km per hour. Not something unusual. When we are speeding, we are summoned, but when they did, the have police to escort.
But why do they speed in the first place if not because they failed to manage their time properly (ie late in their next function), abuse of power (any other reason for not following the speed limit passed by the parliament in which they are a member themselves?) and because this is the norms.
Something need to be done, if they intend to lead, they should set their own example by abiding to the laws. Otherwise, they should face the consequences and pay the summons like all the rest of us. But I don't remember any of them going to pay the summons themselves although they themselves (or their drivers) were caught speeding.

Forum (6) Part I - A Trip To China 中国之旅 (Update 2)
二零零八年九月十九日至九月二十七日，一连八天，小弟到中国的五个城市去旅游，包括上海，南京，福州，厦门和深圳。这是小弟首次的中国之旅，心里兴奋莫名，也非常紧张。对中国的印象和了解，平时只是透过报章，电视新闻台，抑或是相关网站的图片和报导而得之一二。俗话说：读万卷书不如行万里路。在中国旅游的那几天，小弟着实对中国今日的现代化发展所取得的成就是震撼的，印象深刻的。小弟对那里的一切人，事，物是新鲜的，在大马这里见所未见，闻所未闻。顿时，举起随身带来的数码相机，拼命的将眼前很多新鲜的景观和事物拍了起来。相关图片如下：
