I am optimistic about GE15





GE15, who will win the general election? 

        I have been saying time again that the state elections are not a gauge of the upcoming GE15. 

        That's why I never even bothered to follow the state elections, but of course, BN cybertroopers ---- and there are now many planted in all social media -- used it to try to swing back PH supporters back to BN. 

        This was what the big boss of a newspaper told me before GE14: that the Chinese and Indian votes have swung back to BN. I laughed. 

        GE15 cannot be gauged by the results in the state elections. In the midst of the pandemic, most "ordinary" voters like me would not bother to go all out, either to return from oveerseas or even Singapore to vote.

        The Johor election, for example, was carried out during the pandemic. If I recall correctly, the borders were still closed. BN won the state election, without increasing its popularity votes. What does that tell you? 

        Simple logic. While Umno supporters have a big stake in winning, PH supporters are waiting for the next GE to vote for the coaltion that they want to be back in power.

        Most of us are angry because this whole thing was engineered to cause the collapse a government that was elected by the people. 

        While people can accept crossovers such as Dr Mahathir Mohamad when he wanted to join force with PH, it is the betrayal of trust especially by 'friends' that people cannot accept. 

        That is one reason why people like Mahiaddin (Muhyiddin Yassin), Saifuddin Abdullah, Zuraida Kamaruddin, Rina Harun, and the whole lot will suffer from the backlash of what they did. 

        Dr Mahathir himself has already entered into obsolescence being criticised by people from both sides. 

        PH still has a good chance to win the GE, provided it sets up the big tent to include some of the parties in Sarawak and Sabah. 

        This is because the mor Najib Abdul Razak appears in his personal campaign as 'Bosku, Apa Malu?' the more people cannot associate themselves with the clown. Every time I hear that slogan, I say I want to vomit. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 

        The other reason is because people are fed up with BN for a long time. The performance by PN and current BN-PAS is not any better. In fact, the country needs fixing in many ways, and we know that PH was on its way to get things back on track again. 

        Finally, we have more Malays now who are silent protesters. Many do not know there are other fellow Malays who are angry with the way things are going, but as a Chinese, I get their feedback personally. 

        While we criticise PH lawmakers as well, we do it because we want them to back on track. But we all know that no party is perfect. As long as there are humans, any organisation will have all sorts of characters. 

        

        Read about the Sheraton move.

        Don't blame others but ourselves: A Coalition can only be strong when people support it.

My heart will go on

  It must be at least twenty years ago when I first encountered Malaysia’s very own Stevie Wonder, Colin Ng Soon Beng. It was during Chinese New Year, at the home of a mutual friend. Colin was only about ten years old then. His mother introduced him to me as a “special child.” She said, “Pick a song. We’ll play it for Colin to listen, and he will play it back for you.” I chose My Heart Will Go On from Titanic. To this day, Colin still remembers that it was the song he played for me. Born with multiple disabilities, Colin’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Being visually impaired, he could not learn music the way most children do. Yet God blessed him with an extraordinary gift: a razor-sharp ear. He could identify the brand of a photocopier or the model of a car simply by hearing its sound. His mother, Janet, devoted her life to nurturing his talent. After losing her husband when Colin was 24, she became not only a mother but also a father figure, chauffeur, and companion in ...

DALAM EMPAT BAHASA/ IN FOUR LANGUAGES/在四种语言中/ நான்கு மொழிகளில்: A Piece of Good News Worth Celebratinng

Akhirnya, anak Sarawak ini — Soliman Wan — telah menerima kewarganegaraannya! Dilahirkan 52 tahun lalu di kawasan pedalaman Sarawak, bukan sesuatu yang mudah bagi ayah dan ibunya untuk ke bandar bagi mendaftarkan kelahriannya. Tambahan pula, pada waktu itu, ramai penduduk di Sabah dan Sarawak kurang memahami kepentingan dokumen rasmi sebagai bukti status kewarganegaraan. Soliman dilahirkan pada tahun 1974, ketika Malaysia baru berusia 13 tahun. Kefahaman mengenai kewarganegaraan masih belum begitu meluas, terutamanya dalam kalangan masyarakat yang tercicir daripada arus pembangunan dan sistem pendidikan negara. Kehidupan Soliman sebagai seorang pastor penuh dengan cabaran. Tanpa kewarganegaraan, beliau tidak dapat memiliki kad pengenalan, memohon pasport, membuka akaun bank, dan pergerakannya sangat terhad, malah di dalam negara sendiri. Gajinya terpaksa dibayar melalui akaun individu lain yang dipercayai. Kini, dengan penganugerahan kewarganegaraan ini, komuniti Kristian di gerejanya ...

Aduan Sifar: Tauladan Dato' Zahri Samingon menerajui Aduan Sifar untuk MBPJ perlu dicontohi oleh Yang DIPertua Majlis-majlis lain

  Saya amat kagum dengan Datuk Bandar Petaling Jaya, Dato’ Zahri Samingon. Dalam satu perbincangan ringkas melalui WhatsApp, saya menyuarakan kebimbangan bahawa kesesakan lalu lintas yang ketara berkemungkinan berlaku di persimpangan Jalan 16/11 dan Jalan 17/1 dalam beberapa bulan akan datang. Saya baru sahaja dimaklumkan bahawa satu lagi jemaah gereja berskala besar akan berpindah ke situ pada bulan Julai, yang hampir pasti akan menambah tekanan di persimpangan yang sedia sibuk tersebut. Dalam perbualan kami menggunakan WhatsApp, saya mengemukakan beberapa cadangan dan menjelaskan satu konsep yang saya percaya beliau sudah pun faham dengan baik, iaitu Zero Complaints (Aduan Sifar). Ini merupakan satu prinsip yang kami pelajari di bawah sistem Excellence Through Quality (EQ) yang diperkenalkan oleh guru kualiti Philip Crosby. Konsep Zero Complaints ini ringkas tetapi sangat berkesan—ia bermaksud bersifat proaktif : menjangka masalah dan menyelesaikannya sebelum ia menjadi isu awa...
