17/11, the raging war within

Todays news revolved mainly around Wanita UMNO. Said earlier that it would be more interesting than the veep race. A dramatic finish suits this episode well, maybe with the ousting of Raf Najis? Not that Sharizat is any better, but a change would be nice. Raf is so stale even cockroaches won't come near.

The main stream media, namely TV3, still lacks the common sense when interpreting statistics. 90% of Malaysians have never exercised; was the statement. It qouted a research done by the MOH on 32,000 respondents. Roughly saying 24.3 million Malaysians have NEVER exercised. Which is kinda funny, since when broken up into age groups... i'd dare say 10% of Malaysians are under the age of 5 years old. Maybe we expect toddlers to do strenous exercise... and how do they interview toddlers and infants? Another age group is the 70-80 ++ group. Amusing to see old buggers jumping up and down execising. Betcha they'd break more bones than burn fat. The stupidity of some people qouting data from research, especially statistics, is amazing. This extends to even Ministers. Well, you can't really blame an eager beaver reporter being overzealous reporting 90% of Malaysians have never exercised, especially if Rosmah is featured jumping up and down like an old ragged wrinkled potato (it was a rather hideous visual, i wonder why Finas didn't censor it). What are the indicators, the methodology used, and objective of the research? This is never highlighted. What normally is highlighted are sensational misinterpreted statistics seen to support certain wrinkled potatoes or those with interest.

RM 500 million will be used to build 15,000 PPRT throughtout Malaysia under the revised budget. Yes, jobs for bumiputra contractors whom 99% are UMNO members and only get these projects because of UMNO! Again, i dare Mat Taib the English Illiterate to make a database of PPRT owners and do research on who actually LIVES in these homes and who leases them. I won't be suprised if 30-50 houses are under one name (or under proxies). Thats how UMNO members make money, lets say a devision head gets 30 units under him... he needs to pay roughly RM 130/month per house, or RM3900 per month. In the end they either sell 'em (double the original price, location wise, PPRT's are strategic) or lease them for RM 200/month, an easy RM2100 per month income. Maybe this is what Mat Taib bodoh meant by stimulating the economy, erm, UMNO's economy at the expense of the Rakyat?

200 new Kemas centers will be made... assuming these are kindergardens. Kemas's module has greatly improved. They were bombarded by reasearch done on how Kemas kids had learning problems once entering primary school a few years back. They learned and improved (eventhough initially they were in denial). Which is good. Whatever benefits the children in the long run, i myself will support even if it meant acknowledging a good module and system from an entity i dislike.

Last night's news was interesting. There seems to be a group of 'Reformists' in the Selangor state government who are willing to demonstrate in the nude as a last resort? Wow, hope all of them are hot babes. The state head of police gave warnings, so did JAIS and other agencies. Its rather interesting, the State Government was just formed a few months ago and now people are willing to demonstrate in the nude in retaliation. I bet my manhood theres a politician behind them, and i betcha he actually has a fetish watching aged men and women in the nude, in groups (what a sicko!)? These people should learn one fact, they were OUSTED by the people, and any attemp to discredit the current state government will be futile since the general population in Selangor are no more ignorant. Information is readily come by, and they can use the mainstream media as much as they want. Alternative media is now THE mainstream mind you.

There was a call for the BAR council to be abolished as certain groups claimed the BAR was used as a political tool for the opposition... so that makes the group claiming such stuff as... apolitical??? The call must've been made by stupid Malay lawyers. Only Malays have this sort of mentality whereby they can claim other people as wrong, but they themselves are maksum despite clearly being in the wrong.

The Water Association Of Selangor, Putrajaya & KL is an interesting entity. Headed by men incharge of SYABAS? Thats rather ironic. Why not ask Pak Lah to be the opposition leader as well? A watchdog entity, policy making and lobbyist headed by people who have interest in SYABAS. I could easily raise water tariffs by SYABAS, then as my capacity as chairman of the water association validate the increase and claiming to represent end users and industry players? Cool!
