Learn from Singapore to be truly Boleh.










Do you believe this, 20 years old buildings could be maintained in such a manner they look like newly built! Look at the landscapes, the green lung that ever surround the high-rise buildings, creating such a freshly and healthy environment which could only be a fancy for us, the Malaysians, we are staying in the congested, disorderly flats, more of sort of a slump for the illegal immigrants! In Penang, we can see more slumps of these kinds likened war torn buildings I had seen in the Country of Laos 15 years ago!

Why Singaporean can do this and Malaysian cannot?! Aren't we 'Boleh' in all fields, we could even send a Scientist to the Space (by taking a ride in other's rocket)that far, the good practices and good works undertaken just across the causeway could be shunned without the worth of even a side glance by our honourable 'Bolehish' officials? Are we now looking East, or West, or nowhere but into the toilet bowl?!

Wouldn't it enough shame when Singaporean had said, they are easily 20 years ahead of us when we consider ourselves advance, they are 20 years ahead of us, more advance! Though it sounded sarcastic, I personally was dumb in speech and my neck cringed like a snail, when agitated, shy away with the neck cringed! In bahasa Malaysia, this is a feel of 'malu'!

Seeing is believing, Singapore is indeed a spectacular well planned modern township qualifies to be a world class metropolitan country with only, in the recent decade, Dubai is the closest competitor which can match and even overtake Singapore in terms of township development! All these due to the infinity focus into the future by the leaders of these two Nations to propel their Countries to greater height, to rank themselves at the top of the world renowned list of glory - the most admirable cities to live in!

To the contrary, what have our leaders done for us and for the Country, other than their ever shriek out- 'Malaysia Boleh, Ketuanan Melayu Boleh'?! They are still behaving like the turtles tailing behind the rabbits, slow and clumsy and complacently lazy! How it would be nice if they can just practice with some self-constraint, abate on the arrogance of self-approbation, be subservient to learn from the more successful paradigm of good governance from the neighbour, who says Malaysia cannot become as advance as Singapore, or even more advance?!

Pessimistically, by looking at the bunch of leaders we have at helm the power that be, I am not that hopeful of to see any difference that may pull in the distance for our Country to match Singapore any nearer than the current exchange rate - 2.50 times higher than MR, given another 25 years, can our Country regain the position of being one time a taiko in this ASEAN region? Can our RM anything nearer to those days' currency exchange rate of equilibrium?! I doubt so, how about you guys?!

Apartment dwelling - A social problem....


Property management and maintenance for high-rise apartments in Penang have since been an irresolvable problem like nightmare haunting the Penangites for decades! This is mainly due to no better choice of buying landed properties with the hardly affordable escalating high costs and scarcity in supply, they have to endure the torture of living in such a sub-standard living environment!

With most high-rise buildings and apartments were built in shoddy materials and workmanship, which were made not to last for long term, as good only after the defects liability periods, after the developers had freed from any encumbrance and had their stakeholder funds cashed out from the bankers, which was the time the lifts were going to give trouble and breakdowns, the RC floors, ceilings were about to crack and invite leakage to visit the wet areas in the parcels! Even the longest lasting ones, such problems may have occurred at best after less than a handful of 5 years! Problems are not ending, remedy is continuing to be helpless, most property managing agents are unable to perform their duties professionally and diligently to meet the requirements of the so-called Councils of the Management Corporation duly appointed under the Strata Titles Act 318, which is the only bible in hands apart from the many Acts we do have in the books but lacked in operation! Why the deadlock of these chronic problems and how would they have been caused? Simply, based on my personal observation and judgment - there have been too many Acts (laws), too little professionalism to implement them effectively, is the main core of the problems!

Far back to 1997, when the then ADO of PTG Mr Wong Hin Fatt, the one officer who had been considered one of the most experienced and having long service in Land Office, I had been holding rounds of discussion with him concerning the issues of - the relevance in managing high-rise buildings, in relation to the common properties, pertaining to consents of by-laws - the Strata Titles Act 318, 1985, its efficiency and powers of implementation, and by whom?! How would PTG or the Land Administrator play their parts in co-ordination with the several Management Corporations then had been established and continue mushrooming?! What was the code and ethic or set of rules, guide lines delineated by the Authority to effectively help to implement the Strata Titles Acts as well as standing as the watchdog, by PTG, to govern and monitor the activities and performances of the numerous MCs having established, having entrusted with the public funds?!

No result of resolution from the unofficial meetings with Mr Wong thus far until he retired from office in year 2004! Problems remain problems and worsening! Almost 90% of the medium costs or LMCs are badly managed and faced with scores of maintenance problems, money not enough, by either short changed or being abused, some so-called professional property managers are also making use of the opportunity to spare benefits from the loopholes of Laws at the ignorance of the unprofessional Management Corporation Councils and at the expense of the residents, whom they have contributed in subsidizing the management funds for proper maintenance of the common properties covenanted in the S&P (House Rules and Regulations), the mutual obligation of the Management Corporation vs the residents (the parcel proprietors). Sadly, things are not done appropriately to the essence of law (Act 318)! With due respect to the Authority, though they are not solely to be blamed, the residents are also part of the roots of the bad causes, we being the apartment dwellers have our rights to appeal for the intervene of the CAT Government to buck up now and look into ways and means of curbing the problems, to address the grievances of the apartment public those days had been neglected or incapacitated, by the former defunct State Government!

I wish to share with the peers of apartment dwellers some of the findings I had two weeks ago, when I was in Singapore, I visited a housing estate which consists of clusters of high-rise apartments, which were said to be more than 20 years old at Chou Chu Kang area. The whole area was so well managed that you will never believe that the buildings were as old as more than two decades! The attachment picture is self-explanatory of its perfectness and the great difference of what Singaporean can do and what we Penangites couldn't do! I also visited the website of the Town Council for that particular area and do have some little inspiration to how we can possibly emulate from the evolutionary prototype of Singaporean ways of property management. It needs a text to ensemble fully the concept of effectiveness and my sole intention here is to serve this article as a clarion call to the apartment dwellers and the State Administration to take things serious, this is the time to buck up and to resolve problems which have been haunting the peoples of Penang for decades.

The nonchalant attitude of the State Government will not only cause the property values of all apartments to derogate, due to the deteriorating conditions of the building outlooks, it inevitably will cause Penang, the Pearl of the Orient, to pose a lousy image to the tourists that we are like a war torn city, with so many poorly maintained concrete forests, weather-worn buildings, dilapidated facades are all symbolic of a third world developing Country’s!

A Reply to those who call me racist.

Preface: Below is my reply to some of those readers of Dr Hsu, whom, they have more or less queried my peculiar character to be a 'patriotic' Chinaman.............

>>Last night, I brought my family to a show titled - 叶问 (Ipman) which is a movie which depicted a Chinese kungfu master who had gone through the Japanese occupation and carnage in China, for 8 years how the Chinese was tortured, down trodden and they turned to retaliate and fought back to defense their prides as the patriotic Chinamen, with the Chinese spirit until the surrender of Japan in year 1945-08-15, war ended!

I can see the same spirit here in the ideology of the Chinese Educationists, they hold on proud to their cultures, Chinese education is part of the great cultures, for thousands of years still in prevail, uprisen in the current trend to become one of the worldwide recognition in terms of its cultural value and usage by billions of population in the global village! It’s of proven value socio-economically, it’s not for me Frank alone who can propagate the ‘greatness’ of Chinese culture, for being a minute sand in the deep blue sea!

Many buddies out there may wish to tag me ‘chauvinist, racist or even unpatriotic’, even our beloved UMNO MPs whom they are the real racists would have wanted to chase me back to ‘tiongsan’ and fangs at me like I am a leftist, since communist is no longer relevant!….But, why I care, as Rhan has told off that Monsterboy, it’s not my problem, it’s yours myopia that you would have to look out to!

Who else in this Country of mine who befits to judge me unpatriotic when I do everything to prove my patriotism, I pay my taxes, I obey the laws here like any other law abiding citizens, I respect our National Language, I respect our King, Raja Nazrin is my idol, Raja Petra is even more iconic to me!…I portray as a civilized and an abiding citizen of Malaysia when working as an expatriate in foreign land, felt proud of being a Malaysian Chinese gaining more respects for the Nation when my foreign subordinates have such a high yield respect altogether admiring the demeanor as a helpful, knowledgeable and magnanimous Malaysian I was in their perception! Sorry if you consider me boasting but that was the fact, when I was in Vietnam!

Who else again in this Land got the right to question my right as a Malaysian with my birth certificate to prove my birthright as Anak Malaysia?! Probably our future PM was also born in the same Maternity Hospital but on a different bed! We are all the same, only those UMNO bigots who might have said - “Look, to be a Bangsa Malaysia, you must only speak one language, eat without babi or lard cooked rice or dishes, wear sarong and songkok, paint your yellow into brown, must always bow to us whenever see the crests or ‘paku’ and address us Tuan!”

Is this the way I can only prove my patriotism to the Country, or rather it’s only a paranoia stemmed from an evil megalomaniac mindsets that ever have persisted, caused to be the so-called ’supremacy’ cerebral thinking, an idiocy of the highest order?! I will say NO, I do not address to ‘Tuan’ to anybody else except voluntarily to those I respect from my heart, those who are benevolent to the peoples, not the present malevolent depots! RPK is one of such virtue, and to none other than my King!

I am a Chinese, typically racist and imperishable unless my Chinese blood is all being siphoned and transfused with the gene of pig, I will then still be racist, I will still call myself pig, for having the gene of pig! Is this my fault, or the great Creator’s fault?!…

That’s what in Malaysia, an irrevocable fact prevails, we are multi-ethnics and we are multiculturalism, respect begets more respects, agree to disagree, tolerance is all we need to ensure we stay all in together in this gifted Land peacefully and in unique harmony! Forget about assimilation or apartheid, it won’t work!

If the most fiendish and barbaric Japanese those days couldn’t conquer and annihilate our forefathers, no one in this planet can ever think of depriving our rights to live as a Chinese, to believe as Chinese, be it we are Vietnam Chinese, Indon Chinese, Malaysian Chinese or Thai Chinese……! So, Chinese treasure Chinese cultures, Chinese education, Chinese religion etc down the list, what’s wrong with us?! - Have they not enshrined in the Fed Constitutions as well??!

For those who wish to be subservient and give up their Chinese dignities, you are most welcome as it’s your exclusive rights but don’t ever behave like that Monsterboy, challenge the Chinese for a duel, thinking that we are soft, we are cowards and only you are strong but you are very wrong! Have you ever heard of an adage - ‘Even the worms will turn, the rabbits can bite’! Watch out your language, should you still need an iota of respect from me!

The plight of Malaysian Chinese Education.

When politics get into roiling with education, that’s to say that the racist power that be, the wily kris brandisher Hishamuddin is on the verge of wining with his ‘divide and rule’ repertoire, a salvo which he plunged into the Chinese community and blasted all the remnant unity that had remained, into fragments! Sadly, amongst the diverse mentalities that all those even the so-called Chinese community leaders have got such a wide split and fission, though in the round table conference, discordant ideas prevail and irresolvable! This exactly is what happening now, in the ballyhoo of debating whether English should be continued to be used as the teaching media for Mathematics and Science in the vernacular schools! Some propounded that it’s a wise move of the Ministry, some opposed to the contrary, the DJZ (Chinese educationists) in particular, has shown its stance that they will not budge and insisted that in primary school level, Mathematics and Science subjects should be taught in the mother-tongue language – Mandarin, a media which will ensure the kids, prior to enroll into the schools, have fluent with the spoken mother-tongue language which will cut any barrier in terms of understanding the subjects taught with the language they have already familiar, this is a powerful argument!

Without derogating the importance of English as an important universally recognized and widely used language in the social economical environment, DJZ has proposed that English should be taught as a subject with enhanced teaching methodology ensure to equip the naïve students with proper proficiency in English, when promoted to Secondary level, they will have no problem to the paradigm shift of learning Mathematics and Science subjects in English, meaning, Mathematics and Science should only be taught in English at the Secondary School level. This defer tactics is somewhat considered, as according to the educationists, will allow sufficient time for the Ministry to prepare for standard software and sourcing of competent teachers, well versed in English, to conduct a much more professional and quality nurturing process to build up meritorious students whom, they are able to adapt into the system and learn proper English with reasonably high standard! This is again another convincing argument taking into consideration the present much have been adulterated type of English, which is casting an image that Malaysian English is peculiar of local accent and native slang!

Be it one has indulged in either Chinese or English educated, we are all Chinese! The only difference is our mindset mentalities and the experience in lives we have gone through. When the chips are running low, we are faced with the politicians with racist agenda, we must be vigilant enough to learn to endure with each other, to agree to disagree and find a pivotal point of balance between the splits! For the facts of life in the Country is, the more splintered we are, the more vulnerable we are to be incarcerated in the evil plot of the racists, UMNO in particular! They are the politicians whom they learned from their forefather British mentor to harp on the archaic policies - to divide and rule! The minority could easily be suppressed and controlled which is the belief which also concurred to Mao Tze-tung’s ideology, UMNO have learned it, practicing it!

Critics have they spoken! The concerns of the old doyen Chinese educationists, their reputation has been smeared so thick blue and had been tagged ‘chauvinist’, stubborn and recalcitrant, by the racist politicians who are no better than the real chauvinists themselves! They are so-called the parish pump politicians, much more parochial in mindsets and bigoted! Despite all plights, the old doyens are in defense of the cultures of the old grandfathers, which they have believes and loves as though which are heir looms as precious as the Chinese blood! They have had their points to be steadfast and behave intransigent for as long as survival is concerned! They are protecting it, the Chinese education, as if they are protecting their own lives in perpetual to their next & next future generations, and this is enshrined in the Fed Constitutions! Their struggle is not baseless, for they have seen the needs of the same creed and that results have been proven, the education system they are professing works and worked out many umpteen meritocrats, whom today benefit! With the globalize trend, China has become one of the economic giant in the planet, Chinese language to become influential as the world’s second language is something near to be seen and looming!

They too see the advantage for Malaysian children, we have English educated Chinese and if both could be entwined into a fabric of better resilience and value, why should it be destroyed by the autarchic power that be, which ultimately will foredoom our children into isolation and get lost in the turbulent red ocean competition! Aren’t we talking about the blue ocean ideology and concept nowadays amongst the global citizenry?!

Many English educated Malaysian Chinese may have a misconception and ill-perception over the Chinese educated brethren, hereof I apologize if my use of ‘bananaman’ was felt to be insulting and offensive; I have no whatsoever intention to be biased and I respect those with their choice of rights to education, the important thing is, be whatever differences we have in religion and education and even lifestyle, we are all homogeneous, we are all flown with Chinese blood. Do you and our Malay brethrens agree, assimilation of different genes into unification of character or demeanor is totally out of issue and granted impossible! Apartheid is out of place in this globe, more so in Malaysia, a pluralistic and multi-ethnics society!

Respect begets more respects, we must admit the fact that we are multi-racial and multiculturalism in reality and in decree, to live in harmony we ought to encompass and embrace all differences, tolerance is the key word!

The issue of unity via education sounds noble but it’s a sheer political histrionic, more so it’s a tool tainted with ‘Mahathirism’ venom! Think sensibly, who was the culprit he intended to synchronize us with one single language when he and the cohorts were sending their children to Japan, Germany and London to be ‘Westernized’ and ‘Europeanized’ and study multi-lingual languages? After the standard of English was found to be deteriorating, whereby it was their plan initially as an creation of ‘mediocracy policy’ and more mediocrity would enhance their supremacy which, they in their whims and fancies, is an elixir to their power grips, in perpetuity - he/they are now strident-cry, English is as important as was his PM post! What a freak!

We should not engage amongst ourselves unduly in all these rant and rave and befallen into the political conspiracy of kill in carnage by using the Chinese chopper, the yielder will be UMNO! When UMNO successfully politicize the issue for the ulterior motive to regain the defected dissidents into fold, that is the time we will lose bad in chips!…What benefit we will then afford to have for our/your children, by and large, the next generation in succession?!

It has been narrated that the Prophet said: charity is not about giving away what you don’t need but what you treasure. And I leave it to you to decide if you want to give away what you don’t need or what you treasure in the spirit of the true teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Last night, I had dinner with some friends at the Italian restaurant in Centerpoint. When it came time to pay the bill the three of us fought for the honour. We almost became un-friends because of the ‘argument’ as to who should be allowed to pay for dinner. But when we summoned the headwaiter over, he shook his head and informed us that the bill had already been settled. And he pointed to a smiling family sitting inside the restaurant.

It is ever so often that I never get to pay for my meals. And I am not even taking into consideration the free meals the Malaysian government serves me in the Sungai Buloh Prison and the Kamunting Detention Centre. Total strangers just pick up my bills and after splurging myself silly I walk out of the place with my money still intact in my pocket. And many a time my hosts end up being guests of these strangers as well.

I have to admit that it is most touching and sometimes I find it difficult to smile. It is hard to appear cheerful when one is holding back the emotion of happiness to the point of tears. I suspect many a well-meaning stranger probably went away with the impression that I am not really that friendly after all, seeing that I appeared unhappy at their kind gesture. I certainly cannot cry in public. This will destroy the macho image that I am trying to portray. But even men cry when touched in the heart and I have so many times been touched in the heart by people who I have never met and who hug me and want to belanja me a meal.

I thank you, all you Malaysians who walked up to me to shake my hands, asked for my autograph, requested my permission to take a photograph with me, and much more. I know it is not me per se that you idolise -- because I certainly do not want to be idolised (it is un-Islamic to say the least) -- but that you feel you are contributing to the cause of making this a better Malaysia. And that is all that I am seeking, not to be put on a pedestal and hero-worshipped.

But, today, I am going to ask you to support me on a personal mission, which I am adopting as my latest cause.

There are many out there who have contributed to the cause of making this a better Malaysia. Many are faceless and nameless Malaysians who work quietly and aggressively behind the scenes in the effort to bring changes to Malaysia. One such family is, today, in need of help themselves.

This particular family is now going through their own crisis. Nevertheless, in spite of their predicament, they are still very much in the thick and thin of the struggle. But health problems, and financial problems brought on by their medical predicament, have brought hard times upon them. And it is time that fellow Malaysians rally to their side and assist in any small way that we can to help this family out of their predicament.

The mother of this family has been diagnosed with third-level cancer of the colon and rectum while, simultaneously, the father of the family has suffered a severe heart attack. But they do not have the financial means to seek proper medical treatment and we all know how much this can cost in this country. The total medical cost will be in excess of RM100,000 and, even then, the doctors do not guarantee anything because their cases are quite advanced and the doctors can only hope for the best and leave the rest to prayer.

The family borrowed heavily from friends and relatives for the mother’s operation in September 2008 (around the time I was detained under the Internal Security Act) and now she is surviving with a colostomy bag. But she is not out of the woods yet. She still has cancer. And over the next six months until April 2009 she will have to undergo 12 sessions of chemotherapy followed by five sessions of radiotherapy. The total cost will come to RM86,000.00.

The father of the house, who suffered the heart attack, has undergone an angiogram because, at that point of time, his heart was still very weak and the doctors felt he would not be strong enough to survive surgery. Furthermore, he needed about RM30,000.00 for the Angioplasty, Stent, bye-pass, etc., and he did not have the money for it.

In total, the family will need RM116,000.00 for their medical costs and there is no way they can manage this on their own. I appeal, therefore, to all Malaysians to come forward and help this activist family who did so much and worked very hard these last couple of years to contribute to a better Malaysia. They have done their bit for this country. It is now time we did our bit for them.

I am not asking you to break the bank or to go into debt. Do what you can within your means. The amount you give is not the issue. It is the thought that counts. Just give what you can afford and no need to do more than that. Let it be the cost of a glass of beer or a packet of cigarettes or whatever. So drink one glass less this week or smoke one packet less -- it may be good for you anyway -- and send the money to the family instead.

To Muslims, I have this to say. It has been narrated that the Prophet said: charity is not about giving away what you don’t need but what you treasure. And I leave it to you to decide if you want to give away what you don’t need or what you treasure in the spirit of the true teachings of Prophet Muhammad. Maybe the ‘no pain, no gain’ slogan most aptly describes what the Prophet meant. So, can we, as Muslims, ‘give till it hurts’?

Muslims have just celebrated the Festival of the Sacrifice (Hari Raya Korban) while the Christians will soon be celebrating Christmas. When better than now to live the spirit of Korban and Christmas in the real sense of the word? Let us demonstrate what stuff Malaysians are made of by raising this money in the soonest possible time. I shall later publish copies of the bank statement to show the amount of money that has come in plus copies of the hospital bills to show how the money was spent. It shall all be transparent and above board.

To those who desire to contribute to this cause of mine, the bank account of their son, KEVIN A/L MICHAL JOSEPH, is 1124-4704-3083 (Maybank).

My candid appeal:-

Hi Buddies,

Pete seldom asked for anything, he only gives! Even when he was forced to lodge in the Kemunting boot-camp, that's when he supposed to have needed some financial aid for Madame Marina to travel around hunting for supports and expended for the legal fees, he did not do so and bit on the bullet himself! He is now appealing on behalf of the traumatic Michal Joseph family and can we just selfishly say resort to only prayers without being practical to contribute at least two bit of help in monetary form of supports when it's direly needed?! I will do my part tomorrow to transfer my bit to the abovementioned account number and hopefully, all buddies who read my blog will also do your bit and such will be a good deed we ought to do, for the sake of RPK's philanthropic compassion and the needy Michal Joseph's family! God bless those who help others!

ISA is like Viper's Venom to the civilians!




PUTRAJAYA: The Internal Security Act will not be repealed or reviewed soon.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said the act had always been used in a just, fair and ethical matter.

"It has never been abused or used for politics," he said in reply to People's Progressive Party president Datuk M. Kayveas' threat to take the party out of Barisan Nasional if the ISA was not amended or repealed by the next general election.

Syed Hamid said the law had proven very effective in ensuring public order and national security.

"Malaysians sometimes don't know how lucky we are in that we have not experienced what is happening in Mumbai and Bangkok now."
He said that when he became home minister, there were 75 people under detention. but this had fallen to 48 people.

"If we find that the detainees have been rehabilitated, or no longer pose any harm, of course, they will be released."

He warned Kayveas not to resort to threats but to adhere to the BN team spirit.

Syed Hamid was speaking to reporters after receiving Singapore Law Minister K. Shanmugam at his office here yesterday.

He said Shanmugam shared the view that preventive detention laws were still needed.

"We both know that we are not out to silent detractors or the opposition. But they must not advocate conflict among the public, or raise sensitive issues."


A candid reply to the Home Minister:-

Look at that, how uncouth is the pea head Minister Syed Hamid uttered like a frothing mouth hyena! "It has never been abused or used for politics," he said. He does not befit to compare himself with the Indian Minister who had at least the courage to resign immediately when failed to prevent the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, whereas our big mouthed Botak Minister, the useless mule still talked so great about his lack of wisdom and unjustifiable use of ISA against the innocent journalist, Teressa Kok and our populist Hero RPK!

Malaysia is no better judicial-worthy than Thailand and now we can see, the yellow army of Bangkok has won their battle against the unwanted Government in the law suit, justice has been prevailed in the Thai judiciary system untainted and beyond the powers of the legislative branch! Over here, our judiciary system has been made only a political tool and at best having the power of a jury, in the British system, can simply be bought to vote for a prescribed verdict, pro UMNO! Wouldn't it shameful for the idiotic Botak Minister to compare his tiny fish ball with the big apple of Thailand?!

If only having harsh laws that is the reason which can save our Nation from the unwelcome terrorists or undesired elements, how about drugs trafficking? Has it been totally deterred and there is no one single case of international drug trafficking been arrested in our domain? The fact is, the notorious syndicate will still risk their ways through be it here any harsh law or not, only when they find it they can outsmart our authority, they will do it and they will dare the harsh law knowing that they still have the plentiful of tars(money) to help them plug the loopholes of local made laws! Imagine that corruptions are so rampant and well-known even by the mafia or the drugs syndicate - In Bolehland, with money will travel, semuanya Boleh!

There are more other reasons that our Nation is temporarily saved from the unwanted Mumbai carnage tragedy, amongst others, a friendly State perhaps in the eyes of those lunatic fringe! Those are the peoples so much being obsessed and religiously miscarried and they have become insane and do you Botak Minister think that they will be scared of any law, when they are already the outlaws, and that the so-called draconian laws which mostly used to suppress and subjugate the unarmed civilians, will serve any purpose on them? If they could dare the super powers like the Americans and the nuclear powers like Indian Government, what is ISA to them, merely it's effective to scare off the peaceful and unarmed civilized populace, which is only trifling toy to the embolden extremists and terrorists!

It seems that Botak Syed Hamid is still lack of an iota of remorse in admitting his stupidity and continues to challenge the patience of the dissidents to the mal-administration with its draconian laws, soon enough he will realize, latest until next GE, when Umno has been changed and he will be the first one who will regret, he will be put in the lab like a guinea pig to test on how bitter and cruel the ISA akin to viper's venom when used on him!
