Batang Ai by-election – my personal analysis

At first, the Batang Ai by-election was seen as a barometer to test the strength of the ruling BN coalition versus it’s rival PR, after the last GE where PR shook the world by taking over 5 states from the ruling coalition.   However, things took a turn with a sudden announcement by a would-be independent candidate, Johnny Anak Chuat to contest in this by-election.   It was said earlier that, both parties have a 50/50 chances of winning.

Batang Ai has been the traditional stronghold of BN, since the PDBS era, where the older folks are still the keen supporters of BN.   The acceptance of locals towards PR is somewhat doubtful, for one reason that it is a West Malaysian based political party, furthermore their performance in Perak and Selangor was not up to expectations.   The younger generations which are more exposed to globalization processes are their most likely voters.   Then there are voters who are neither on the BN or PR side, those who are sitting on the fence, for reason known to themselves.   These are the groups that the independent candidate should take advantage.

Not a beautiful Sunday

Wake up late today, since today is Sunday.    After taking bath, prepare breakfast, milk and noodles.    Like normally, turn on my laptop to go online and check emails, moderate one or two sites.

But, I feel so disappointed.   I can’t even post anything on any forums, least doing the moderation, what the heck.   At first I thought it is due to line problems, but when I checked my connection speed, it’s about 7.2 Mbps, which seems to be normal.    Then I tried to log-in into my hosted site, hell, it said I was brute forcing into the site, need to wait for another 10 minutes to re-try.   This is my 1st try when I was not logging-in after quite some time.   Obviously, someone, probably hackers did try to brute force into my account.  Bloody shit, there’s nothing in there, nothing precious.  Well, if they want, I can just relinquish my account and my site to them, sort of donating to them.

Well, this is cyber world, what more can I say!!!

Bad Road

This is the photograph of the road at Sg Plan resettlement area. This hole grows bigger and bigger each day. It seems that none of the authority concerned care about it. It is very inconvenient and dangerous to motorists.

Why is the BDA not doing anything about it? We pay road tax, thus deserve better roads to travel. To BDA, please do something.

Mainstream Media – National TV/Radio/Newspapers

To me, these media are nothing more than the tools for the BN to brainwash the rakyat. They are being used to spread gimmicks and propagandas so as to stay in power, while oppressing the rakyat.

In fact there are better usages such as to inform the rakyat on educational opportunities and the availability of government jobs to the unemployed. They should reduce craps that they put into the media and be more responsible towards the rakyat.

I would like to suggest one day in a year to boycott these mainstream media, that is:

1. DO NOT WATCH TV FOR ONE DAY,
2. DO NOT LISTEN TO RADIO FOR ONE DAY,
3. DO NOT BUY NEWSPAPER FOR ONE DAY.

Or better for one week or one month? I’m sure we would not be bored, because we have the internet.

Any feedbacks?

Sarawak football team – suggestions for improvements

Our Sarawak football team has never been doing so well all this while. Or to be concise, our Sarawak football is amongst the weakest, at least at present. Although I do not really follow its development, I know our Sarawak football team is in real bad shape, for quite some times already.

To really excel, it must come a long way and a great effort must be put into it. The followings are just my ideas and suggestions on improving our state football standard.

Football skills and spirits must be nurtured from early childhood, right from primary schools to secondary schools to universities. Every primary and secondary school must have a mandatory football development department where talented kids could be properly and systematically trained and groomed to become an excellent future footballers. These future talents must be identified and continuously and consistently trained until they are skillful and old enough to be absorbed into our state squad. And all those grooming must not ends here, it must continue into national and international levels.
