My very brief take on current issues: Take 1

There are times, I'm just fed up to give long comments or brag about how I feel about certain issues that touch on the lives of us Malaysians. There's a lot of ridiculous things going on and when one can easily pass the buck to our politicians for, well, politicising just about everything under the sun, I couldn't deny that the people, who are not politicians themselves, are not making living under the sun any much easier.

They say that politicians are like dogs. They bark and bark without ever knowing what they're barking about, but how about us, the ordinary layman who enjoys echoing the barkings? How about those who go spicing it up thus blowing all things out of proportion leaving most of the innocent bystanders to gape and trying to decipher what the hell was that all about.

Anyways, lest that I would fall into the spicing up category, let me just express how I feel for the many issues that makes it into the pages of our newspaper in the most shortest way possible:

1. Using the name "Allah" issue: Don't agree with High Court's ruling and if we can't find any amicable solution to this, then just drop the bloody issue once and for all!

2. High performance schools: Its blatantly unfair! We should not polarise the young ones with being selective as who should get more than who. I say the RM1m annually per high-performance school should be distributed to the so many under privileged schools throughout the country.

3. Penang Pakatan feud: Datuk Seri Zahrain outburst to Lim Guan Eng was funny. Personally, Lim got what he deserved. DAP chairman Chow had said that Zahrain was wrong but even if the guy had erred in his actions to say such things, then surely something is definitely WRONG somewhere that such squabbles had been conjured up. As they say in Malay, "kalau tak ada angin masakan pokok bergoyang". True or not?

4. Suspension of Khalid Samad by PAS: Serves him right for being a foul-mouthed prick. Period.

5. Arrest of six Nigerians over suspected links with al-Qaeda terrorist: WTF!!! But kudos to our speedy arrest by our enforcement team. Good job guys!

6. Adukataruna seditious blog remarks: Hang him!

7. Throwing of pigs head at 2 mosques: F*&$#@ *&!#@ &^$#) $#*^ $#%$@! ?+)%$#@!!!!!!

8. Churches arson: same answer as No. 7

9. Carot and stick for govt servants: You mean to tell me that after all these years that there was not carot and stick at all? Well that explains everything.

10. Maid abuse: *sigh*

11. Tiger Woods trysts and sex eaddiction: Who cares! Leave that guy alone. So what if he has a slightly higher libido than any other man out there, no need to be jealous and harp on the issue.

12. Malaysian music and movie industry: Not interested.

There you go. These are just some of the issues that had grabbed my attention whether I care about it or not. Hopefully the next paper that I grab would contain happy issues and that some of the issues highlighted above can be resolved quickly so we Malaysians can start bracing ourselves for the next.
