Beng Hock

Beng Hock, your light will burn brightly.

When I saw the news on TV, where they showed Beng Hock's wife assurance to him that she'll carry their baby and marry him no matter what, my heart felt so painful. I was crying inside as I know how hard it is so say good bye to someone so dear in our life.

To those heartless, cold blooded assholes who made stupid and stinky remarks on his death.... FUCK YOU! I have a few awards for these people/bodies to be forever inducted into my Hall of Scums:

First on my list is the UMNO papers' editors. By now, I think you guys know which papers I'm referring to. No one is playing the race card. No one except you! No one is questioning anything on the Malay. No one is doubting the abilities of the Malay. What we want is justice for a fellow Malaysian that cooperated fully for an investigation and never came home. That's what we want! So, for these well-paid low life amoeba...... FUCK OFF!!

Second on my award list is Zombie of Perak. A cheap politician trying to score a cheap point by hitting a cheap shot at his rival. Critisizing Nizar for holding a candle in a vigil for Beng Hock by trying to potray Nizar as not true Muslim. Huh? What logic is that? Anyway, amoeba can think logically.

Third is for our beloved de-facto Law Minister for suggesting that Beng Hock committed suicide. Oops... once again, the press twisted and/or misquotes and/or took his word out of context. Anyway, cold blooded creatures can't talk straight.

Last but not least... to the Grand Ol' Man of Malaysian Politics. For suggesting that the Chinese is the master of this country, you as such a Maha Racist! You corrupted the country for your own political agenda, breeding croyinsm and nepotism. Now, you wanna be a hero for your superior race and put the blame solely on the Chinese? Go eat your birthday cake and choke!

Beng Hock, rest in peace. I may not know you or anyone in your family but I do share their pain.

JUSTICE WILL AND MUST PREVAIL!

Pempena's Biz Venture

Today when I read theSun paper, it really makes my blood boiled. It's big headline that can't be missed "RM18million failed Taxi Venture" with the RM18m in bold red print sure attracts attention!

Now the RM18m wasted by Pempena Sdn Bhd who is the investing arm of Tourism Malaysia, is either because they're really stupid and dumb in business dealings or rampant corruption is the main cause. RM18m reads OUR MONEY! Taxpayer's hard-earned money that goes to the Government coffers are meant for building and developing the country; not for self-enrichment programmes!

For details or the story of this screwed up venture, get a copy of theSun or surf the net. There's details and mind boggling numbers hard for someone like me to digest. From what I read, most probably some smart Alec got duped on a 'sure fire' money making venture with Dalamasa Sdn Bhd.

One of the listed figures are to purchase 5 cars with RM7mil! Yes.... you read it right! A cool RM7mil to be 'invested' in 5 cars (average RM1.4mil/car); most probably a Rolls, Beemer or a S-Class Merc as taxi/limo. Well, to those who are lucky enough to catch a high-end cab to the airport, good for you. The rest of the population like myself, I have never even seen or know such high-end models to be use as cab in other parts of the world I've been to. Maybe we want foreign tourists to know that we are so rich we can afford to ferry passengers in such cars; never mind there are still some poor souls living in poverty! Maybe Pempena carried the 'Malaysia Boleh' motto a bit too far..... Only them can answer.

If you go to PWTC and park your car opposite (at the bus station), you'll see some Naza painted as taxis lying there in sorry state. Some are with puntured tires. Some looked like scraps though you know these cars are quite new. These taxis are painted with blue and with Pempena's permits. A look at these 'junks' tells you how well Pempena can be in business dealings.

Being stupid and duped is one thing. To use taxpayer's monies and be stupid and duped needs to be answerable. Maybe to some, its tidak-apalah.... not my money ma. I suspect, someone might have siphoned part of the mils to their Swiss Bank account. If not for corruption, then what else? I really want to see MACC take some 'real' action on this.

Just hope the MACC can shed some light on this. The rakyat has the right to know. We want someone to be accountable for all these shoddy business dealings. Don't just go after cows and cars....

Rakyat IS demanding answers!

MACC... Will it bites?

MACC

One of the much awaited reform promised by our out-going PM has been officially launched yesterday. The Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) has been given more power to fight corruption in this country.

Whether or not the MACC can perform without fear or favour remains to be seen but it has certainly begin on a wrong foot. It's Commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan has been criticised for his comment on the probe on the Selangor Mentri Besar on the purchase of cows and maintenance of his private car. As such some of the bloggers mocked the agency as Malaysian Agency for Cows and Cars.

There are weaknesses in the former ACA. According to Pak Lah, the government is aware of the perception that the ACA was not independent, a “toothless tiger”, selective in prosecution, slow in taking action and unprofessional in investigating. The public has no faith in the ACA because perception is a very powerful tool. Once it's seen as biased, nothing it does will have the approval of the public. Even big fish caught will always be seen as a 'sandiwara'.

Anyway, it must be seen a right move to take our fight on corruption to another level. Nothing is perfect. It's just a beginning and I think it'll take quite a few years and numerous modification before we can even be seen or talked in the same breath as the HK's ICAC. The fight must go on no matter what. Just keep our fingers crossed that this is not just another re-branding exercise.

Let the fight on corruption be real!
