"I Will Not Be Corrupt"

The MCA Presidential election has been on quite a journey. Both Datuk Chua Jui Meng and Dato' Ong Tee Keat do have great manifestos to bring about change and brighter future for MCA, Chinese, and the nation.

Manifestos will still be manifestos and will remain a piece of trash talk if fruitfulness and productivity do not come about. We want to see results. What you claim you will do will only be seen after and if you do them.

But in this election, i brush off the manifestos aside. What we should look into is the character of potential presidents. In this case, i support Datuk Chua Jui Meng.

The main reason is he is a born again Christian. Back then while he was still a minister, he wasn't a strong Christian. Until he was sacked as Health Minister, he stopped politics for 3 years. During those 3 years, i thank God that God has shown Himself once again to him and has changed him. Right now he is a tough character. A person more like God, and has guaranteed to be God-fearing in his MCA leadership.

Nobody has ever done anything like him: Standing in front of the public, with his right hand lifted, and proclaim that "I will not be corrupt!".

Tell me, it takes a man and guts to swear that in front of the public. That is the leadership we long for in this 21th century. Someone who has integrity, courage, and most importantly, the fear of God.

We are lacking people like Datuk Chua. That is why i fully support him as MCA President. May God continue to bless his endeavours.

Carefree!

Well, petrol prices decreased to RM 2.20. Not good enough for us. But grateful for the action.

Other than that, i've just started by final semester of the degree course. I really thank God for seeing me through my 3 years of studies at higher education. Studying in university is not easy, yet it is a privilege and i thank God for that.

I've enjoyed my 3 years of studies. Great friends and great experiences have i gained. Now, the step forward is the hard part.

Seeing the global problem, especially in the financial sectors, worries and anxieties arise. What a way to graduate! Graduating when the world economy is slumping! What a way to enter to the market!

Countries are now very pessimistic about hiring fresh graduates. Even my wish to work in Singapore is shattered when hearing news that Singapore is now in recession and will soon retrench a lot of Malaysians.

What makes things worse is that analysts forecast that year 2009 will be a more terrible situation! My goodness! I'm entering the market in 2009 and they're telling us that 2009 will be worse.

But you know what, i have always had faith in God. It's not that i am a carefree person, not worrying and thinking about things, but my faith in the Lord allows me to be care-less.

It doesn't matter if the global economy and market are rolling downhills. But i have faith that my future doesn't depend on the economy nor the market, but my future depends on the Almighty God!

It's not the world that holds my hope, it is God that holds my hope. And the best thing is, my God holds the world!!

So seeing myself graduating, after a hard-fought 3-year journey in university, i am truly grateful to God. Really, it was His grace and mercy that enabled me to complete my journey. While i look forward to entering the market, i all the more look forward to seeing what God can do in times of global difficulties like what is happening now.

In God I Trust!

Lower The Prices!

Woohoo! I'm happy that the oil price is now USD 76 per barrel.

Does it mean we will get back our RM 2.00 per liter petrol? I remember it was still RM 2.00 per liter when the oil price was USD 78 per barrel.

What if the oil price drops again? Will we get cheaper petrol price? Or the government will still decrease the price by 10cents? If so, then we're being cheated!

We want our RM 2.00 per litre back! If not cheaper!

Outstanding Person

Hari Raya is a special festival for the Malays to celebrate new year. A celebration that should be filled with fun, bonding, and forgiveness among families, relatives, and friends.

The streets of KL are so clear and empty, and everywhere is filled with immigrants! Mostly Bangla people, Indons, and some ASEAN countries people.

Different leaders also conveyed their Hari Raya greetings. And most of them wish to see a more united Malaysia, without racial and cultural prejudices. People like Najib, Samy Vellu, Ka Ting, Anwar, Karpal Singh, and Guan Eng all wished a more united nation.

But this stuntman, not only conveyed a Hari Raya greeting, plus he added that the government abolish ISA and free the Hindrafs and Raja Petra.

This stuntman is Lim Kit Siang. Everybody wished good stuff, this fellow, even during Hari Raya, still wanted to talk about politics and free people.

I salute you lah bro. Not afraid of what people think of him - his annoyance and irritation.

Good job stuntman!
