一个不想但必须做的决定

今天做了一个很难做的决定。如果你问我有没有后悔，我只能说；为了你着想，我只可以做一个我不舍得做的决定。虽然到现在我都不知道到底发生了什么事，但我已能感觉得到最终的结果。也许是我的期望太高吧。或是一种报应。很少为难题而困得我，终于也必须面对难题了。到如今还是依依不舍。但我也无能为力了。只能希望新的一年会更好。只从懂事以来，我只哭了三次。第一次是我三姑母出殡的时候。第二次是我们问米请三姑母问好的时候。第三次是很感动一家人完完整整的庆祝我的生日。虽然这一次我并没哭，但心里还是觉得很酸。最近不知发生了什么事，总是觉得有很多难题要面对。希望一切都会过去吧。。。

GO TO CLASS

After one relax week in UKM, it is the time to go back to class. Hope that I would not run and rush to class anymore this semester. Hehe…

BACK TO UKM

Finally, I am backed to UKM. Have a lot of things to settle. My room’s wall got some problem. I might need to move to another room which means need to clean up the new room again. Haih…

ROYALS 2009

This year, Royals Debating Championship was held in Universiti Malaya from 3rd until 8th December 2009. There were 2 private institutions which are MMU and UTP (suppose to be 4, maybe the other 2 decided not to join or with other reasons) competing with all others public universities in English category. UKM managed to advance until semi final for both senior and junior category. Such achievements are considered quite ok for an institution without having a proper trainer and facing constraint in getting funding for participating in tournaments. Congratulations for UKM Malay Debate Team for winning the trophy back to UKM in senior category. Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah was the guest of honour for the closing ceremony. Although it is a bit boring, but at least I had seen how protocol works with the present of a Royalty.

HAPPY FAMILY

At last, 5 of us (parents and both sisters) can have dinner together as a celebration for our parents’ birthdays (on August and November). Delay for quite a long time already right? But what to do. It is hard to gather all the siblings together. Either my younger sister is still in UTAR or I am not able to come back from UKM. Or my elder sister goes to outstation. What makes me feel more “paiseh” is that I don’t really have much time at home during this 5 weeks semester break holiday as I have a few commitments. Really sorry if I can’t give my full commitments as I need to think about my family too.

GREAT SENTENCE FROM MOVIE 2012

To be human, means to care for each other; civilization means to work together to create a better life. The moment we start fighting for each other, that's the moment that we lose our humanity...

Like those sentences a lot…

PENANG, I’M COMING

Finish all my exams and prepare to go home. See you in Penang…

PHOBIA 2

PHOBIA 2 Preview

It is a quite nice movie. Consists of 5 short stories. I like the first story as it contains some moral values and religion understanding in it. The second story is about transferring of soul while the third is about zombies’ kind of story. The fourth story shows about how ghost is related to their deadly accident. The last story is very interesting. Besides being horror, it does drawn lots of laughter from the floor. Thanks to the counter’s ticket seller who recommend this movie to us.

NO PERMANENT FRIENDS IN POLITICS

Malaysia Chinese Association - MCA

Incumbent President

New Deputy President


Are there permanent and sincere friends in politics? Is forcing Ong to step down is the only way to solve MCA’s crisis? Are the Central Committee (CC) members sincere in what they have done or they did it just for their personal interest? Is Liow a truly MCA’s guy or only a person of himself? There seems to be no sincerity in politics. Only interest will prevail.

WHO WILL BE MCA PRESIDENT

The EGM’s result really gives me a shock. Don’t expect the result to be that way. The first motion of no confidence towards Ong has been passed by a margin of 14 votes (1155 against 1141). The second motion to cancel off decision made by Presidential Council has been passed with 1204 votes against 1095. While the third motion which is about the restoration of Chua as deputy president has failed 1110 votes supporting it and 1184 going against it.

The main question becoming out next will be: who is the next MCA President? Will Ong resign as what he has promised even though MCA Constitution doesn’t require him to do so?

MCA’S EGM

MCA PRESIDENT, DATUK SERI ONG TEE KEAT

MCA DEPUTY PRESIDENT (before he is being suspended), DATUK SERI DR. CHUA SOI LEK

Initially, it is about whether Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek or both will stay as MCA’s leaders. For me, the best result that can accommodate both leaders is that the motion of no confidence towards president will fail while the motion to reinstate Dr. Chua as deputy president will succeed. This might be the best solution to accommodate both leaders but it is not a best solution to solve MCA’s crisis.

The courage of Ong to gamble the biggest bet in his political career might solve the MCA’s long term crisis. Ong will voluntarily step down as party’s president if his deputy is being reinstated. So now, the delegates can only choose either one of them. For me, this do-or-die gambling game put forward by Ong will increase his chance of winning, but at the same time, if he were to lose, he is going to lose everything and his political career will end there.

Anyhow, I personally feel that Ong will win in this fight. It is not that hard to accept a scandal tainted deputy president, but when it comes to presidency, a lot of issues will be taken into account. Sex scandal in Malaysia is still a very big taboo. The mentality of Malaysian Chinese is still not yet up to the level of acceptance towards sex scandal.

BAGAN PINANG BY-ELECTION

PAS (left) and BN (right) candidates

It is a fight between Tan Sri Mohd Isa Samad (BN) and Zulkefly Mohd Omar (PAS). 13, 664 voters are eligible to vote. If this seat goes to BN, it means that BN is still strong is its area and Isa’s influence is still there. He still has chance to revive his political career. However, if the seat goes to PAS, it shows that political tsunami has not ended yet. This is one of the interesting by-elections as the incumbent for this seat is BN. My prediction is that the seat will go to BN. Majority does not really important in this by-election unless the margin is too small or too big like what happen is Manek Urai.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, MAAF ZAHIR BATIN diucapkan kepada semua kenalan-kenalan saya serta kaum muslimin dan muslimat sekalian...

SAMY VELLU IS STILL TAIKO

latest line-up for MIC President, Deputy President, and Vice Presidents

Samy Vellu’s influence in MIC is still very strong with the winning of his preferred deputy president Datuk G. Palanivel, vice presidents (Datuk S. Subramaniam, Datuk S.K. Devamany and Datuk M. Saravanan) and 19 of 23 CWC post.

For the Deputy President post, Datuk G. Palanivel garnered 629 votes, won over Datuk S. Subramaniam (former deputy president) who garnered 547 votes while Datuk S. Sothinathan managed to get 280 votes. The question is, if Datuk S. Sothinathan did not contest in this post, will Datuk S. Subramaniam able to win the post? Who will the voters for Datuk S. Sothinathan votes for if he did not contest? Is the 280 votes garnered by Datuk S. Sothinathan a sign of support to him or is a sign of anti-Samy Vellu designed deputy president?

PAKATAN RAKYAT TAKES OVER OR BARISAN NASIONAL STAYS

Bagan Pinang's ADUN Azman Mohammad Noor

Ninth by-election is on the way. Negeri Sembilan Bagan Pinang state assemblyman Azman Mohammad Noor passed away on Friday. It will be an interesting by-election compared to by-elections before this since its incumbent is from BN. WHO IS GOING TO WIN IT??? I can’t predict it easily either. More researches have to be done first. If Pakatan Rakyat were to win this by-election, this shows that Pakatan Rakyat’s support and momentum does not stop since the 12th general election. If BN were to win it, it means that BN is still strong in their stronghold no matter what kind of political tsunami has happened.

Anyhow, I still don’t understand why we have so many by-elections this time around. Even after minus the forced by-election, we still had five by-elections (include this one will be six) because of death of MP or assemblyman. Is it because of both BN and PR did not screen their candidates in terms of their health conditions or as PAS leader said before, it is fate and only God can determine it?

INTERESTING QUATATIONS

ISSUE 1
Najib : “My only concern as Barisan chairman is that any action taken by the component party must not affect the overall interest of Barisan”.
Hishammuddin : “We pray and hope that whatever decision made would not break up the party”.
(The Star. 28 August 2009 : N2)

My comment : I predict that Dr. Chua’s political career would not stop here. He has a strong back-up in terms of halting the power of an over-powered leader. An over-powered leader tends to do whatever things that he wants to do including checking the power of another most-powered leader. By having check and balance mechanism (whether is in model of democracy or any other issues), the over-powered leader would not dare to cross too much border as the less powered leader might overcome him in the future. So, the position of the most-powered leader will secure. (Hope that you all can understand this abstract comment)


ISSUE 2
Five-man MCA Disciplinary Board : “In short, it is safe to conclude that, for the general Malaysians, a public figure is expected to behave like a public figure. He cannot be a public figure and enjoy the luxuries of a private person at the same time, and when he is caught, he will not be allowed to defend and excuse himself by saying that it is my private life”.
(The Star. 28 August 2009 : N3)

My comment : Dr. Chua has done his part by resigning all the posts after the video clip of his sex scandal leaked into the mass. However, he managed to win the party election even after that scandal. So, academically, it is not true that general Malaysians cannot accept it. More proof and analysis have to be shown to support that statement.


ISSUE 3
Samy Vellu : I will never accept him (Sothinathan) as he has gone against my wishes (by contesting for the number two post).
(The Star. 28 August 2009 : N33)

When it comes to the meaning of election, it is about the people choose a government. It is not about who I want to be in the government. No doubt the right to vote is still prevail, but it is about the professionalism and ethic is the concept of election.

STATUS QUO MAINTAINS

Status quo maintains while PAS won Permatang Pasir by-election. This election is not about the winner. For me, majority counts this time. Mohd Salleh (PAS) garnered with 9,618 votes compared to Rohaizat (BN) who only managed to secure 5,067 votes. This by-election hints that the status quo still maintain. PAS is still strong in their stronghold. Malays are still with PAS (and Pakatan Rakyat).

ON MALAY HEROES AND TRAITORS

It is such a very tremendously superb long post. But it do give a lot of interesting and useful comment.

Quoted from
http://sainspolitikmalaysia.blogspot.com/

On Malay Heroes and Traitors
Written by M. Bakri Musa Aug 13, 0911:14am
It is truly beyond belief that the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) of a supposedly civilized nation like Malaysia would see fit to label the leader of its loyal opposition a traitor, as Muhiyyuddin Yassin did recently in referring to Anwar Ibrahim. I expect such infantile name calling and boorish behaviour from the likes of Umno Youth leaders and mainstream media editors, not from a DPM.
Muhiyyuddin has yet to learn that as DPM he is leader of all Malaysians, not just of Umno and Barisan supporters. He has yet to grasp the reality that he is no longer a parochial party politician but now a national leader. This transition to the second highest office in the land, and literally a heartbeat away from being prime minister, appears to be beyond him.
Muhiyyuddin as DPM does not necessarily alarm me except that our recent history has shown that even those less than top class as DPMs do ascend to the highest post in the land. Were he to succeed likewise, it would truly be hard the country. As he has so clearly demonstrated, his character does raise questions about his ability to lead the country.
In calling Anwar a traitor to Malays, and presumably also to Malaysia, Muhiyyuddin is treating the millions of Anwar supporters, Malays and non-Malays alike, also as traitors. In so doing Muhiyyuddin exacerbates the already deepening and increasingly dangerous polarization of Malaysians, especially Malays.
This is no way to further the aspirations of "1Malaysia". With the economy tanking and the escalating health threat from the H1N1 influenza, I would have thought he would have his hands full helping Prime Minister Najib Razak.
More specifically, as Education Minister he has enough on his plate in rescuing our pathetic national schools. As such he would have little time to indulge in such behaviour. As DPM and also the minister in charge of education Muhyyuddin has all the opportunities to prove himself a hero. If Muhiyyuddin truly believes that Anwar is a traitor, and thus a threat to the nation, then he should act on his conviction.
There are enough statutes on the books to deal with traitors. That Muhiyyuddin is satisfied only with name calling reveals certain negative traits of character. Part of A Greater Problem Alas Muhiyyuddin is only part of a much greater problem, and that is the pathetic lack of talent in Umno, and thus the government. As non-Malays still see Umno as representing the Malays, many would not unreasonably conclude that the Malay race itself lacks talent.
Consequently no amount of special privileges, enhanced opportunities, and molly coddling would or could change that reality. That is the scary and destructive assumption. More pertinently, that hurts - deeply. One cannot really fault these non-Malays for their erroneous conclusion.
After all, hardly a day goes by without us hearing something silly coming from these senior Umno leaders. A few days ago there was Information Minister Rais Yatim wanting to censor the Internet.
A few months back there was his predecessor Zainuddin Maidin foaming at the mouth eager to demonstrate his utter stupidity in front of a worldwide Al-Jazeera audience by complaining about those 'traitorous' Hindraf demonstrators and defending the abusive behaviour of the police.
I yearn to hear something sensible emanating from these top Umno leaders. In my earlier book The Malay Dilemma Revisited, I suggested that then Prime Minister Mahathir revamp Umno's top leadership by totally bypassing the next (now the current) generation of leaders as represented by Muhiyyuddin Yassin, Rais Yatim, and Zainuddin Maidin. Mahathir then was (and perhaps still is) the only Umno leader capable of undertaking such a massive transformation of his party.
Had he done that, he would have spared the nation the agony of half a decade of wasted opportunities under Abdullah Badawi, Mahathir's chosen successor. Mahathir is today pathetically reduced to a cranky old man continually bitching on the sidelines. And if I may add, ineffectually too!
Mahathir's recent passionate calls for not abandoning the teaching of science and mathematics in English were essentially ignored by Muhiyyuddin and the Cabinet.
Mahathir's success in bringing down Abdullah was an aberration, contributed greatly by Abdullah's own ineptness. With Najib and Muhyyuddin however, we have a pair of politicians not at all shy in abusing the powers of the state to silence their critics.
The only difference between the two is that Najib is more polished and thus presents a seemingly more sophisticated image, while Muhiyyuddin is the direct opposite. With Muhyyddin set to succeed Najib, and tired characters like Rais Yatim, Hishamuddin and Nazri Aziz permanently ensconced in the Cabinet, the future for Malaysia is bleak. Umno is incapable of self-renewal. The party's upcoming October General Assembly purportedly to revamp its Constitution will not alter anything.
Increasing the number of delegates to select the top leaders, one of the proposed changes, will only result in more sharing the loot.
As they all have the same insatiable appetite for avarice, 'money politics,' Umno's notorious euphemism for corruption, would only expand. There is no reason for Malaysians to remain fatalistic and meekly accept such a fate.
We are a democracy; citizens have the power the change their government, and thus alter the fate of our nation. So come the next election throw them out, the whole lot of them. Once these characters are out of power, watch them resort to ugly name calling.
At least then those tirades would be directed at their fellow Umno leaders. They deserve that, and each other.


Comment by Ahmad Nidzamuddin: Politically DPM is looking for trouble I am afraid. In most by election campaigns from Permatang Pauh to Bukit Gantang, Anwar seldom touch on the DPM.., instead issues of Altantuya and PM were more often mentioned. DPM was not in his target list. The DPM should be thankful for that since if he is in the list, that means trouble since that chap is opening 'his closet exposing all the skeleton'. Thus why declare the war..? Once this starts.. the public is going to know more and more. Knowing the crowd that he can pull I think all 'skeleton' that have been hidden all this while will emerge. When this happen, the public will start thinking.., the pot is calling the kettle black... you know some of the stories I guess..


My comment : In politics, what is correct does not necessary is what you should do. Gaining public support is what a politician should do. PM and DPM are not ordinary leaders. They are leaders who are going to portray the image and direction of the government and country. They should be calm and show their professionalism. Our PM, Najib Razak has shown his ability to fulfil the criteria of a good political leader (a good political leader does not refers to leader who is good in personality but it refers to a leader who knows what should and should not be done in political fields. (Good leaders such as Hitler in German and Shi Huang Ti in China or even George W Bush in America have shown their capability in leading a political institution even there are a lot of critics towards the way they rule their countries). For me, our fifth PM is a good leader with good personality. I respect him for that and also for his effort to combat corruption, upholding democracy, justice etc. But as I said before, a good leader is not the same as a good political leader. In politics, the equation is not correct equal to correct and wrong equal to wrong. It can go the other way. A minister can easily retract their negative remarks but a PM or a DPM can’t. That is why I do respect Muhyiddin when he was a minister as a minister just focus more on working performance, rather than political performance.

8TH BY-ELECTION

Rohaizat (left) vs Salleh (right)


---Mask of the Day---


Barisan Nasional


PAS (Pakatan Rakyat)

Nomination for Permatang Pasir by-election has been set on 17 August 2009 while the polling date will be on 25 August. This is the eighth by-election after the general election on 8th March 2008. The first by election is called for Permatang Pauh Parliamentary seat after its MP Datuk Seri Wan Azizah binti Wan Ismail resigned from the post. This is followed by Kuala Terengganu Parliamentary seat (passed away), Bukit Selambau Seat seat in Kedah (resigned), Bukit Gantang Parliamentary seat (passed away), Batang Ai State seat in Sarawak (passed away), Penanti State seat in Penang (resigned), Manek Urai State seat in Kelantan (passed away). Including Permatang Pasir by election, there are 5 by elections being called due to the death of its representatives. Another 3 by elections are caused by the resignations of its holders. The question is; why are there so many by-elections? Even after deducted the forced by-elections, we still called for 5 other constitutional by-elections. 5 by-elections in less than 18 months is a very big number.

This time, it will be a better between Rohaizat Othman (BN) and Salleh Man (PAS). For me, this seat is quite obvious that PAS is going to win it. The only question will be; what is the majority this time???

TEOH BENG HOCK’S FUNERAL

Found these video clips in Youtube a few days ago. Regardless of which political party he affiliate to, he is still a human. Ignore the fact that he is a politician; it is still about a life. To me, it is a sad tragedy. I used to follow my master to a lot of funeral. Even for someone you don’t know at all, you still have to hold on your tears sometimes. Hope that the truth will reveal sooner. May Beng Hock rest in peace.

YB PENDEK, YB GEMUK

Malacca's Election Map

Speaker Datuk Othman Muhamad managed to calm things down for a while, but things heated up again when Khoo took a swipe at Datuk Lai Meng Tiong (BN – Machap) for using the word “swine flu” in his question to Norpipah.
“Why does the assemblyman from Machap call it swine flu when the World Health Organisation and Health Minister clearly stated that it is to be called H1N1?” he asked.

During the verbal exchange, several Barisan assemblymen taunted Khoo by calling him “YB Pendek” owing to his diminutive stature.
Khoo retorted by calling Lai “YB Gemuk” which drew laughter from the House .

(Quoted from The Star, 5 August 2009)

This is what happened to our politicians. There are more kiddy arguments rather than national issues debate. Undeniably, without these jokes, the proceedings will be boring.

COMPLAINT LETTER TO PMUKM AND CCC

Lau Zhe Wei
No 210, Blok K18D,
Kolej Ibu Zain,
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia


Presiden
Persatuan Mahasiswa Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia 3 OGOS 2009

Tuan,
PER : ADUAN MENGENAI SAMAN KE ATAS KENDERAAN PELAJAR

Dengan sukacitanya perkara di atas dirujuk.

Saya, Lau Zhe Wei, bernombor matriks A 119034 ingin membuat aduan serta memohon penjelasan untuk beberapa perkara berikut.

Perkara pertama adalah mengenai pekeliling rasmi. Adakah pekeliling rasmi telah dikeluarkan untuk melarang semua pelajar daripada meletakkan kereta di tempat letak kereta pelajar? Jika ada, saya memohon supaya mendapatkan satu salinan daripada pekeliling tersebut. Jika tidak, adakah saman yang dikeluarkan oleh Wisma Aman itu sah? Jika saman-saman tersebut tidak sah, perlukah saya membayar denda ke atas saman-saman tersebut? Menurut pemahaman saya, pengumuman di laman web rasmi UKM atau lebih spesifik lagi e-pelajar (epelajar/bul/bil.18062009-29) tidak membezakan antara kakitangan, pelajar dan pelawat.

Perkara kedua adalah mengenai perbezaan layanan antara kakitangan dan pelajar. Mengapakah saman maksimum untuk kakitangan adalah RM 25 manakala saman maksimum untuk pelajar adalah RM 50? Mengapakah berlaku perbezaan sedemikian? Bukankah sepatutnya denda yang dikenakan adalah sama supaya menjadi lebih adil atau kakitangan sepatutnya dikenakan denda yang lebih tinggi daripada pelajar memandangkan kakitangan yang terdiri daripada golongan yang lebih tua perlu menunjukkan teladan yang baik terhadap golongan pelajar yang lebih muda?

Perkara ketiga adalah mengenai peranan dan kedudukan Persatuan Mahasiswa Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (PMUKM). Apakah pendirian PMUKM terhadap isu larangan pelajar meletakkan kenderaan di tempat letak kereta pelajar. Sebagai seorang pelajar di UKM yang mengundi dalam Pemilihan Wakil Pelajar, saya memohon supaya dimaklumkan mengenai kedudukan yang diambil oleh wakil pelajar saya. Mengapakah PMUKM tidak mendesak atau mempertahankan supaya status quo yang lebih adil iaitu kesamarataan antara kakitangan dan pelajar dikekalkan?

Perkara keempat, apakah tujuan utama penyamanan dilakukan terhadap kenderaan-kenderaan di kawasan kampus? Daripada pengamatan saya, kereta-kereta pelajar sebenarnya tidak menghalang laluan trafik serta tidak menyebabkan masalah kepada pengguna-pengguna jalanraya yang lain. Sebaliknya, motosikal-motosikal yang diletakkan di laluan masuk ke tempat letak mosikal di hadapan Pusanika pula tidak dikenakan saman walaupun menghalang laluan masuk ke tempat letak motosikal dan menyusahkan pengguna yang lain. Untuk pemilik-pemilik motosikal lain yang terpaksa meletakkan motosikal di bahu jalan (tidak menjejaskan trafik secara serius) pula terpaksa menghadapi risiko dikenakan saman. Oleh itu, saya ingin memohon penjelasan mengapakah pelajar yang meletakkan kereta mereka di tempat letak kereta pelajar dikenakan saman manakala motosikal-motosikal yang menghalang laluan masuk ke tempat letak motosikal dan menghalang kelancaran trafik pula tidak dikenakan saman? Bukankah tujuan saman dikeluarkan untuk mendenda pemilik-pemilik kenderaan yang menghalang trafik tidak dicapai memandangkan kumpulan sasaran yang salah telah disaman.

Saya berharap agar pihak Tuan akan mengambil tindakan selanjutnya mengenai perkara-perkara di atas secepat mungkin supaya masalah-masalah pelajar yang membawa kereta ke kawasan kampus tidak menjadi lebih parah. Saya juga berharap agar Pihak Tuan dapat member maklum balas kepada saya selewat-lewatnya dalam masa 2 minggu supaya perkara ini tidak ditangguhkan lagi. Perhatian daripada pihak Tuan saya dahului dengan ribuan terima kasih.

Yang Benar,

BY-ELECTION AGAIN

Datuk Mohd Hamdan Abdul Rahman

Three term PAS assemblyman for Permatang Pasir, Datuk Mohd Hamdan Abdul Rahman passed away due to heart failure on Friday. The former Penang PAS Commissioner first won the seat in 1999 due to Reformasi struggling and make it a PAS seat ever since then. Before this, it is a BN stronghold. It is the seventh by-election after 2008 General Election and I believe it will be very hard to beat that record in the future.

ROYAL COMMISSION AND INQUEST FOR TEOH’S DEATH

The Dead...

... Teoh Beng Hock


Plaza Masalam

Teoh Beng Hock (political secretary to Selangor EXCO Ean Yong Hian Wah) was found dead on the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam which stationed MACC’s office on the 14th floor. Following that, government has announced that it will form a Royal Commission to look into MACC’s investigation and questioning procedures while an inquest will be formed to investigate into the death of Teoh Beng Hock. Anyhow, what people want is a powerful and neutral investigation body which is a Royal Commission to investigate into Teoh’s death. It is not to say that MACC is wrong or guilty in Teoh’s death. A powerful Royal Commission is able to regain the public’s confidence and restore MACC credibility if the result found out that MACC is innocent. However, members of the Royal Commission is important too since the members’ credibility is proportional to public confidence.

SURPRISING MANEK URAI RESULT

Manek Urai By-election

Although PAS won the Manek Urai by-election, but the slim majority gives everyone a shock. I don’t really expect PAS to win by only 65 votes. Heard from a political science lecturer but I’m not sure how true it is, PAS had initially won with more than 1 000 votes at the beginning. A recount of votes reduces the majority to 300 plus votes. Worse still, third recount reduced the majority to around 80 votes. The official results show a margin of 65 votes after the last recount. All these news are not supported by any authority’s fact, but I do believe that politics is an art of possible.

...The Result...

MANEK URAI BY-ELECTION

Previous results

Another by-election is called due to the death of Ismail Yaakob. This time the contenders will be Tuan Aziz Tuan Mat from BN and Mohd Fauzi Abdullah from PAS. Nomination is on 6th July 2009 while 14th July 2009 will be the day for 12,293 voters to cast their ballots. The guessing game for this by-election is quite simple and predictable. PAS will win the by-election. This makes the by-election less interesting.

PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE

What is love? Is love eternal? If love is infinite, why there are so many married couples divorce? Why there are so many dating couples break up? If love does not last long, then what is the meaning of confessing “I Love You”?

What is the priority for dating partner? One of my friends told me that she will give priority to her family first, her friends second and her boyfriend third. I agree with her but how many boyfriends/girlfriends in this world are willing to be put third, especially after friends. Isn’t boyfriend/girlfriend should understand us more? Putting them in third place doesn’t mean that they are less important. Just that the importance should be placed in heart, and not is words.

What if you had been rejected after you confess yourself? Should you still wait for the person to change his/her mind and accept you or you should find other targets? If you were to wait for him/her, don’t you think that you are wasting your time? Rejection means rejection. Can time change rejection to acceptance? But if you were to find another target, don’t you think that you are not confessing to your true love.

How many true loves can a person have? If a person can have more than one true loves, don’t you think that the “true loves” might not be the “real true love”. But if a person can only has one true love, does it mean that the person has to live with artificial loves for the rest of his/her life if his/her true love rejects him/her?

*Philosophy of Love should be included in the syllabus for Pengantar Falsafah (kursus Wajib Fakulti Sains Sosial dan Kemanusiaan), UKM. Hehe...
