PSD Scraped?!! BOOYAH!

Seriously this song has nothing to do with whatever I'm posting right now, but I'm grooving to it when I first heard that the M'sian government is scrapping PSD (Public Service Department) scholarships. And you guys should too! Check it out!!

It's by Kevin Wu a.k.a. KevJumba, David Choi and Wong Fu Productions called "Dance to this Song".

Note: PSD Scholarship is henceforth just PSD. Lazy to type "scholarship" over and over again.

Back to the topic at hand. PSD being scrapped in favor of "building more universities". BOOYAH people!!!
I totally disagree with PSD anyway. Your "whys" are answered below.

1. PSD is given by quota, not based on meritocracy. It means you are smart, but might not be the smartEST.
2. PSD holders overseas are WAY overpaid. Think in terms of UK Pounds, US dollars, Russian Rubles, Japanese Yen and Korean Won. Minimum in USD per semester in these countries are 10,000, which is equivalent to roughly RM33,000 per semester. I pay less than RM10,000 for my whole 3 year study for a degree in a Malaysian public university.
3. An overseas degree does not guarantee you a job. You may have a PSD, but you might fail the exam and interviews, so job security is not so secure.
4. PSD holders need not waste effort to learn a new language, i.e.: Korean, German or Russian.
5. PSD holders DO NOT get good grades like the local kids. I've personal met a few of them in Korea and in England. They are barely scraping a CGPA of 2.5/4.0, which is like C+. In fact, they admit most of them are getting diplomatic passes.
   It means that they are supposed to fail, but they don't cos they're foreigners on scholarships.
   I really wonder what the hell happened to Nur Amalina Che Bakri? I'm hearing two stories:
   
   1. She's still in Edinburgh doing Medicine AND Pharmacology, but when I tried to search evidence of it, ZILCH. Wikipedia does not count. Heck, Sinbad and Tom Cruise were proclaimed "dead" in Wiki, y'know. Source is not reliable at all.
   
   2. She's quietly residing in Johore Bahru after failing 2nd year in Edinburgh. Tons of info, but all hearsay.
   
6. MOST IMPORTANTLY:
   The money used to send PSD's overseas, could be used to build more universities, improve the current universities and sponsor more students to study locally.

Scrap PSD already.
MCA and  MIC, what the F*** are you doing saying that PSD shouldn't be scrapped? You guys should be fighting for more places for non-Bumiputeras to get into local public universities.
If brain drain from Chinese and Indians gets more serious in the future, you guys are totally to be blamed.

And kudos to suggesting Mandarin and Tamil to be compulsory at schools, though I still think that the English school system back the day is still better. The two other languages are totally additional. Scrap vernacular schools. Make it English and Malay schools only. English school for elites and Malay school for those whose can't catch up. Other languages (Mandarin, Tamil, Punjabi, French....) be made OPTIONAL.

For the record, I'm a classified banana who went through 9 years in vernacular CHINESE school. SMK Chung Ling Butterworth from Form 1-3, 85th out of 485 students in the form when i left (Bragging rights, babeh!). Reason for not completing til Form 5 was because I moved to KL.
So I do know what I'm talking about and not some random banana who doesn't know and appreciate vernacular schools. I appreciate that education system. I just don't think it's good for the country.

Anyways, Malaysia's screwed if we don't buck up. Think Greece, Iceland and Spain. FYI, the economy doesn't just run on $$$ only.

马来西亚少年对政治的态度

第一次用中文博客...请别见怪  :)


这次用中文的确是有原因。而这原因是马来西亚少年对政治的态度。不值马来西亚少男少女，是马来西亚华人少男少 女。

身为马来西亚少年华人，我总是觉得我们这些华人老是有那种古老的想法。
什么想法呢？
那种。。。 “国家打得乱，没关我事。 政治就让政治家解决，本人生意做好，本人有钱财，够了，随便吧” 态度。一说到政治，全 部就说 “什么也做不到，政治家全都被收买了”的态度。


拜托！若我们什么都不做，袖手旁观，休想我们以后的日子会好过点儿。我不是叫华人少年进入政治。 
但我们必定要对政治 有些了解，因为它和我们的将来互相关系。我们不自己出马，谁会呢？

我们年轻这一代不可以拥有老一辈那种想法了。

Political Suicide, much?

Datuk Kong Cho Ha, current Transport Minister of Malaysia. Before he had a chance to prove his mettle, Datuk Kong kong-ed himself. Read the news here.

He said the probe into the PKFZ scandal was 'sufficient', and added there is no need for the issue to be re-examined. No issue here, 'cos we all have different views about it anyways.

However, of all things and of all people to say such dumb ass things, he had the "guts" to blurt out, "I also have to know exactly what the PKFZ is about."

Dude, in case you haven't notice, feigning ignorance is lame, but successfully shooting yourself in the leg is an entirely different ball game altogether.

GERTAK or GELAK? Hmmm.....Ahhahaahahahahaha....

Commenting on GERTAK and Dr Azly Rahman's Evolving From Gertak to Gelak

GERTAK are full of bigots.

Are the Malays not receiving education? Nope, if fact many of them get into boarding schools, matriculation programmes and government scholarship because they are supposed to be the creme de la creme of Malaysian minds.

Are they Malays do not have jobs to support themselves and their families? I don't think so. All the keranis I know do a pretty fine job on goyang kaki in government department while you can see the nons zipping around like blue-bottle flies on the same pay scale.

Do the Malays have not enough HELP? I most certainly do not believe that is the case. The Malays have their special privileges, like having a 5% discount when buying a house, 51% quota when it come to equities in the commercial market, a certain percentage of job security when companies are hiring, they have their entrepreneur help under SME, have FELDA and FELCRA projects to help them gain more, and some more.

Is GERTAK saying, after 53 years of independence, the "favored" race are an incompetent lot, who still need government hand outs after all this time?

The Malays are NOT an incompetent lot, GERTAK. You just want status quo to remain as that, back in Malaysia's zaman jahilliah, where politicians can instill fear with May 13, and threaten Malaysians with words like "be grateful", "sensitive", "racial" and "ISA".

Because of people like those in GERTAK instigate unnecessary and supposedly-long-dead issues, Malaysians are a bunch of yellow-bellies.

Guess what? NOT ANYMORE.

Well, at least for some of us.

The new generation are now voicing out. The old era of subservience has to be replaced by a new era of matured, thinking individuals. Malaysia has only two choices anyway; either we progress, or we regress.

Let's not harp on old issues shall we? It's time to move on. 53 years is a ridiculous waste of time. Wasting any more is even more ridiculous.
The world's not gonna wait for us anyway.

Perpaduan Kekal Relevan? What the Hell?

I was watching the news yesterday and I saw this line while the news people were interviewing non-Bumiputeras on RTM 1. I could only looked in total disbelief of, in my unhumble opinion, the most idiotic statement of the millennium.

That Statement was: PERPADUAN KEKAL RELEVAN DI MALAYSIA. (Unity stays relevant in Malaysia)
What the hell is wrong with these people? How is the government going to run a country that isn't united?

Gaza: Is Malaysia's assistance warranted?

I'm going to sound real racist, but unfortunately some people come from a certain race. I sincerely wish we Malaysian can really become as one.

Perdana Foundation by our dearest ex PM Tun Dr Mahathir funded a trip to aid the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip from the cruelties of the Israelis. Apparently we Malaysian people are rich enough to be the main contributors of this foolhardy mission.

What? Foolhardy? Yeah, you heard me right.

In case you, dear reader, haven't known, the Israelis are GOOD when it comes to intercepting outsiders. Only idiots would be dumb enough to actually attempt to breach Israel's military force just so to come around and say "hey, we come in peace and we are providing aid to your enemies!"

Oi, those jokers on Gaza soil are having a war. Outsiders are seen as either allies or threats. It's an "either/or" thing, not an "and/or". Don't come talking about providing humanitarian aid and bullshit. It's WAR. There's nothing humane about WAR. So, stop being so goddamned idealistic, and your immature thoughts about "all Jews should go to hell" and "all Jews are controlling the whole world", because if it was true, we would be screwed by now. If you guys do think and sincerely believe that those statement are the truth
SHUT UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. The world has more than it's fair share of nappy-wearing, yellow-belied nincompoops.

Oh, and if Malaysia has that much money to throw around, how come we still have the hardcore poor in Malaysia? And the money could be channeled to the poor fellas (Malays) who after 53 Years of Independence still have the cheek to say the other races are better off than them?

Something in my heart a Really LoNg TIME.

It was just another email by a friend. But the contents got my blood boiling over. It was all because a bloody fellow at Utusan by the name of Zaini Hassan.

To read what he wrote, click here.

The worst part was that Blogger doesn't work at all in China where I was for a couple of weeks for a short academic programme.

OK, Mr Zaini. I'll tell you what MALAYSIANS with brains want. Not just Chinese you bigot.

We want a government that works for us and not a government that doles out goodies when the time for election is here.

We want a government that doesn't segregate the people based on race and religion.

In short, we want a government that is FAIR, and we certainly do not need racist bigots like you to tell us to be grateful.

And FYI, all of us pay taxes. No one should be made to be grateful to the government. It is their bounden duty to help the people of the country. They are violating the peoples trust when they fail to do so.

What you are doing, Mr. Zaini, is inciting unnecessary racial hatred amongst Utusan readers. People like you are the real sampah masyarakat.

P.S.: I don't read Utusan at all because it is a racist paper and I believe most people know who owns the paper. The only reason I'm able to comment on the buggard's piece is because my friend emailed me Mr. Kee's retort to the outrageous piece of bull crap.

If you don't  support racism, stop buying Utusan. It'll continue printing even if every Malaysian stops reading it and make nasi lemak wrapping as it comes straight out of the printing press.
