1Malaysia many version?

Orang Penang is upset that 1Malaysia is not up to mark. some excerp of what he say:
一个马来西是不是一个谎言还是一个政治家所宣传的口号？我国独立50年了当年是三大民族去英国争取独立的，可是50年后的今天我们的国家还没有统一还没有真正的把三大民族的地位平等。我们感到失望也感到害怕。这些失望和害怕是因为我们选择了一个这样会说谎言领导人来领导我国的2000多万的公民。read more

Najib wrote the following in his blog:
MERITOCRACY
Basically everybody knows what it means, this principle of meritocracy, but it cannot be applied in the purest sense, because there are times when you have to take into account certain other factors. For example, people who are disadvantaged, or people who live in rural areas, in estates, in new villages who are outside the mainstream of the more dynamic part of society. They would certainly need certain considerations.

I won't say he lied. His version is fair but the implementation is not there. It definitely didn't mention the 5% discount for those Bumiputra millionaire for buying their nice bungalow while the poor (non-bumi) gotta pay full price for their roof.

Deklarasi Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz pada 13 Mei 2009. Read all

This should be on every malaysian mind at all time:

Mari kita jadikan tanggal 13 Mei 2009 sebagai titik tolak perubahan ke arah memperkukuhkan suasana hidup beragama, mempereratkan persaudaraan dan mahabah serta menolak mana-mana pihak yang menolak perpaduan kaum, yang mencetuskan isu-isu perkauman yang bukan-bukan untuk mengaut mileage politik bertujuan melanjutkan hayat perjuangan mereka berasaskan semangat kebangsaan.

心经

With the intention of achieving a peaceful life, I get down to read about Buddhism, 佛经 "Buddhist Scripture" and my initial sutra is 心经 .

Pray for peace

Look familiar?

Are we heading to familiar scenario in Taiwan's parliament?

We seek peace.



We don't want this

Suffering

Suffering and the way to escape from it is the very basic of buddhism.

Today, we have a situation in Ipoh where craving and attachment to the seat of power create suffering for fellow citizen in the future.

They even need to remove the speaker's chair from it's respectable podium.

Pray for peace

25 years ago

About 25 years ago, I completed my college life and step into my 1st real job as a supervisor with a sub-contractor in PWTC site. TAR college Certificate in Technology basically prepare us to be a construction supervisor. That was in 1984.
Looking back, we are going into a job market that is entering a recession. My 1st recession. We didn't feel it then because as a new salary man, a pay of $500 is a lot of money. Very happy getting my 1st pay cheque, the best moment is getting my 1st bonus. Happy memories.
