Rihanna: To come or not to come?

Hmm... it seems that another super duper concert might get cancelled. I'm talking about Rihanna's much awaited concert which was supposedly to kick off this Friday. The organisers says that its a mere postponement and urged ticket buyers to hold on to their tickets until further notice. But if you read the news about what happened to Rihanna and her abusive boyfriend Chris Brown, it's most likely that she would just had to cancel the whole thing off. She even cancelled her Grammy appearances what more with a concert in a country where she's probably not sure how to spell.

This is not the first case of international artists cancelling their appearances in this little country. If I can recall, David Copperfield had to cancel his show due to some alleged FBI investigations. Peter Cetera had to cancel his also due to reasons that we have no knowledge of. And who could ever forget the much publicised Kings of Tennis fallout? Mariah Carey almost axed herself from coming here all because the authorities asked her to dress decently. She came eventually but boycotted by wearing only one boring attire. Stupid ass... that's what she is. And now Ms Rihanna postponement? With a case she's in right now? I think cancellation is in the brink.

But for thousands of Malaysian fans out there who have been waiting for this golden moment, I hope Rihanna would do the right thing. Good thing I'm not into concerts and Rihanna otherwise I wouldn't be spared from the disappointment.

Ayo... not another election!

The state of Perak has fallen into BN's hands again....yadi yadi yada.... It's big news. I'd say it's huge. For some who only gave a wee blink to Malaysian politics will just consider the whole things as "duh" but for the other lot (me included) will probably spent the whole day at coffee shop talking about it incessantly.

I couldn't say that I'm glad of how things came out for Perak. Though I was not born in Perak, my parents are. I wish I don't have to take sides but somehow, we all know that the longevity of PKR's ruling over one of the largest state of the country is shortlived. The current MB is known more as a puppet than a ruler. His hands are tied and his movements are binded by his DAP counterparts. Nizar need not to deny this as even school children can tell that he can be quite an idiot himself. Poor guy but he should have known this coming and he was given the power to change both the state and himself when he was elected as the state's MB but he failed big time at doing so. You only get one big chance and he'd blew it.

But Nizar is the small issue here. The big one is the act of the 2 ADUN members who frogged out from PKR to BN. Then few others follow suit. Everyone smelled bribery but their actions has left the state's DUN to be short numbered thus a calling for disbandment and a new state general election is deemed necessary.

Again, this country will have to bear witness to another election. It seems that the March 8 last year's general election did not managed to put anyone at ease at all especially to the losing party, BN. We've just finished with Terengganu's by-election and BN lost again. And now Perak's election.

It seems that the government is busy raking power than focusing on the people's plight and the looming economic recession. People are losing jobs by the minute and crime is on the rise, but it seems that planting their seeds of power at every constituencies is more pivotal than the cries of the people.

This country has lost its glory that's for sure. Gone are the days when our fore fathers can think of nothing but to bring change and improvement to the country. They eat and sleep for the people. They fought and die for the people. But nowadays, things are shifting in reversal mode. The people have to fight and die for the leaders to be able to eat and sleep well.

I tell you folks, I have no bloody clue as to whom should I be casting my penny worth vote for the next general election. No freakin' clue...

REASONS TO CROAK ABOUT


Frogging is the new buzz in this small country called Malaysia. We are referring it to some MPs who thinks frogging is the new trend. Jumping from one party to another has not only becoming the fashion but is also creeping up on a lot of people's nerves. Especially to the loyal voters who have voted for their favourite rep only to be rewarded with a major disappointment.

I have to ask, what is it with this bunch of dimwits who calls themselves state reps? The idea is so very simple. You think you can change and improve your people's lives and so you signed up and later contested. People buy your story and thus voted for you HOPING that change will come as promised. Little did the poor people know, the politician jumped party just because few things doesn't come his way in his present part or most likely, he was bribed by the other party to join them. For whatever reason, only they themselves and God can only tell.

I'm beginning to feel that election is fast becoming useless so long this frogging persist. People's votes has been betrayed and don't blame us if we start to distrust our very own government. There's no such thing as chivalry in governance. When they talked about making frogging illegal, are they just croaking around or do they really mean it? It should be made illegal not for the party's integrity only but for the country's overall governance as a whole.

I'm beginning to feel that it was never about the people. It's about money and power.

And maybe they can add the award for who will be knighted as the slimiest toad in Malaysian political history.
