Will the Anti-Hopping Law be passed?

Citing a video clip, a friend said: "If the anti-hopping law is not passed, no point in going out to vote!"

My answer: No, to vote is OUR duty as citizens. If we choose to vote, we are choosing to give the country to the pirates of the Caribbeans. By hook or by crook, we have to throw Captain Crook off the deck into the big ocean.

My point of argument: Well, at least the chances are better that we will be able to put the country back on track by having the right people, than totally losing this country into the hands of the kleptokrats again.

Would Anti-Hopping Law be Passed? Who made you think that the anti-hopping law would be passed? When Pakatan signed the MOU with Ismail Sabri Yaakob, they know that the Anti-hopping law would not be passed. It was just a gentleman's way to show the rakyat that PH wants the anti-hopping law to be passed, and at the end of the day, they can use it during their campaign.

Why would Umno want to pass the anti-hopping law? You must put yourself in Umno's shoes. Would you want to pass the anti-hopping law? They know that, if the anti-hopping law is passed, it would not work in their favour. After all, who has all the money to buy the toads (independents) and the frogs (MPs from the rival parties)?

Or put it in another way: Apart from Umno, which party has all the millions to spend to buy the toads and frogs?

Simple as that. I don't expect the anti-hopping law to be passed by Umno or even during PH time UNLESS PH has 2/3 majority in parliament.

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...
