PUBLIC TRANSPORT ~ “What a wonderful world”

“What a wonderful world”
Many of us will know immediately when the above words are said. It is from a man who really understood the beauty of this world or shall I say he understood the beauty of this life itself.

“What a wonderful life”
This shall be my quote replacing the quote said by Nat King Cole the man of the blues. The both meaning doesn’t make any different as it is actually the same as how life goes for one in this world, thats how you see the world itself. If you are happy than you see the life will be so colorful and joyful but if you are in a deep shit than you will never wanted the morning to be rise by the sun.

So is it the wonderful world of wonderful life? How the wonderful world going to be if you are not having a wonderful life? The life determined the wonderful world. Let’s look at my point of view on how it is meant by beautiful life.

For about 30 days, I have been going through a new experience. It is the most interesting moment in my life as I face each day with all type of human being, different race, man and woman from different ages, different smell, the tall and the short, the black and the white, different races, different sizes, the bold and the beauty, the beauty and the beast and each one of them has their own uniqueness. Beleive me , I saw a huge woman who need double chairs in komuter, a man who looks exactly like a gold fish, a blind guy who was left alone with his life and there are human who helps this blind human too. Getting stuck in the full pack of train with some beautiful girls does give you fun sometimes. How often you get so close to someone so sexy and get to smell their perfume? Sometimes you see how bad a woman looks when she is sleeping with her mouth open. Human have their own world and they think they are the best in it. Do we? Am I?

I was given this opportunity by nature as I was using public transport to work place. May be this will be my good compliment to the existing public transport owner, I mean the KTM electric train and the LRT. To be honest I felt so amazed by the service given by both of this company. The LRT service is so efficient and wonderful. It is really exciting to use LRT as it is so practical and never failed me so far. You just have to wait for less than 10 minutes and the next train is there for you. The KTM service is good enough but need some efficiency in timing and maybe more train should be on the track and reduce the waiting time. We have double track and I think this can be done. But so far both services never failed me. Believe me and you should try it?

Just imagine, I can be in my office in less than one and a half hour from Rawang to Maluri. Definitely I can’t make it with my own car indeed and even the cost is so much cheaper compare to my own car with new petrol pricing. Hope the government will seriously look into this and I believe one day all of us can depend on the public transport. Why not if it is efficient enough with the timing?

Talking about the bus service, ahhhhh…. F**kin' lousy, specially the Rapid KL. The time management is so poor and I did notice the “tak apa” attitude is so tick in the drivers mind. They are with the look and the uniform but not public services oriented. They talk to you by judging your clothing and appearance. I did notice this many times. If you look good and educated than they will answer you politely and if you are not than they just simply ignore you, some of them do behave rude too. If you are looking for heart attack than you should try their service. This was so different compare to certain countries in Asia. I remember when I was attending training in Nagoya Japan in 2001. You can really rely on public transport for your whole life. It was so efficient and perfect in timing. Even the long distance travel will be on time. Once I did travel for about 400kms from Nagoya to INA by bus, and the timing was so perfect even the driver stopped in every bus stop even there is not passengers waiting. Can you imagine how KL will be when there are less cars and everyone is depending on the public transport. It can be done, if everyone believe in it. Trust me on this.

By being with public is how I discover how “Malaysia” is changing. It is changing, and the changes are good for Malaysia. But I do feel bad about the “Malaysian” changes. For the past 30 days, I did notice how people are attached to their own mind and the technology. Almost everyone have their cell phone with them and do the foreigners too. But in another word, everyone have something in their mind. Some of them shall be sms’ing, some of them will be on the radio or mp3. Some even talking so loud and you can almost know what are they are talking about. This situation specially is on the Indian communities. They will talk so loud even with their next seat friend. You can almost know what actually the topic is and to whom they are talking with. Another changes in Malaysians are, they almost forgot about smiling. Really, almost everyone is so in their own mind and they forgot about smile and being smile. They don’t even smile back if you smile at them. Is this how we Malaysian have changed? And is this where we are heading? Its feel the same as you are in foreign land. Yes, with all the foreigners in the street you definitely feel you are in the foreign land. And it is multi cultural too. With all the Indonesians, Banglas, Nepalese, Vietnamese, China born Chinese and the Indians too. There are places you do feel unsafe too such as Chow Kit, Kota Raya, Puduraya and Lebuh Ampang. What are the authorities been doing? Can’t they notice all this? Can’t they do something about this? May be they are too busy looking into blowing someone with C4? What a wonderful life makes the wonderful world. Does Malaysia is in a process of changing from wonderful Malaysia to wandering Malaysia? Wandering what is wonderful? It is gone, and we are all lost the wondering the wonderful Malaysia.

While I was writing this article, I was reading the RPK’s latest article about Islamic hudud law practice and something did click me on this. I will be writing my next article base on some of his statement said about one GOD.

“What a wonderful life”… what a wonderful world...

Step Down or You Shall Stepped Down

Good to read the Sunday’s news (14/12/08)…
Ask me why? For the first time after almost 20 years I felt the heat is on against MIC leader who has been dictating MIC for 3 decades. Some of the left out and sacked MIC leaders are joining force again to rally a campaign to pressure the current MIC leader to step down.

To quote again, the sacked MIC leaders are back in action to force their ex boss to step down. Why now? Ouch… I see. It is because you were sacked or either you were not given anything to gain from his leadership. What a joke. Maybe this shall be the greatest joke for the 2008 year end. What makes you think that you shall succeed? You can’t make any changes when you are in the party and you are now want changes when you are eliminated from the party. It is simply because you can’t “cari makan” as long as the current leader is in power.

The MIC leaders have the greatest power of all the power. He has all the gangsters and the influents and most of all, the current active MIC leaders and the ministers are seems to bow to his feed for their own sake of benefit. He has the money that he made in these 30 years of regime to support him and enough money for him to hire enough bodyguards and gangsters to be his hit man.

Indians gangsters are good for nothing except to bully their own country man. They are good in killing their own brotherhood Indians. This actually reduced the number of Indians specially the youth. They are good only when they are drunk and they will do anything for money. They even will be willing kill their own family members for their own benefits. These are the bunch of nut crackers who crack nuts for anyone for money. They are only in power for bulling their own brotherhoods as I say it again. Look at the numbers of killing and murders been happening in Indian communities. Mostly numbers are the Indian youth. These are the greatest lost for Indian communities and greatest achievement for the Indian gangsters.

These gangsters are made for the current political Indian leader’s own benefit. They are his shield. They are there to create “had hoc” when things heat up. They are there to shut ones mouth if he questions the leader. They will be beat up if they didn’t cooperate with the leader. And if these people are willing to be cooperative than will be spared.

Even most of these gangsters are given privilege to hold important agendas in the organization. Even some of them are made ministers. Tell me now how in the hell Samy will step down by force and campaign? You have to be the greatest gangster indeed to uphold these existing gangsters. Or maybe some money and some opportunities shall keep your mouth shut. He has the power of the president. Or if the fights grow greater than Samy will show his plead to compromise but will keep his agendas to LEAD. He have done this many time since the time if MG Pandithan and even to Dato’ Subra (His ex Deputy) He will shake his enemies hand and tell the whole world that he respect his enemy and will be compromising. He will even offer them the seat and power. But at the end of the day he will show his colors. This happen to his many “yes” man deputy. From Dato Pathmanathan, Tan Sri Mendiang MG Pandithan, Dato Subra, Dato Mahalingam and many more.

Just like the UMNO’s president’s power, MIC leaders do have the autonomy power. This is the other reason for the current leaders to be in silent mode. The power that the President has is what makes the others to keep their tail down. The president can revoke the “membership” in MIC. Once this is done than ones future and goals will sink to the bottom of the sea. This is how DS Anuar Ibrahim was treated by the number one pendatang of Malaysia. DSAI membership was revoke by the party, leaving him from Hero to Zero.

Feel so disgrace when this ex-Malaysia’s number one man talked about Jus soli and Social Contract. He even forgotten about his origin and teaching others about the social contract. His statement is supported by many who don’t even know the history. As far as this blind people exist the politician will have their support. Nothing is written anyway but certain race talking about ketuanan melayu by forgetting the current political scenario. They simply forgot that this Malaysia is not made by the Malays alone. The culture of this race is to copy and later claim they own, from languages, religion, culture, alphabets and even food. Even this race has the proverbs saying “Lupa Daratan” which suits them exactly.

There was an interesting article in current media publication. Ketuanan melayu is just propaganda by the politician to gain cheap publicity. And been supported by those who is in the total dark of political knowledge. It was not even agreed by some of the educated and visionary Malays themselves.

Sometimes I do feel it is easy to live in Malaysia but hard to be a Malaysian. But this is my challenge to create this blog in a first place. To let the Malaysians knows about being ’TRULY MALAYSIAN”.

Back to our topic on the campaign to bring down the MIC leader sounds good to me and I believe all Malaysian Indian will welcome the moves. But make sure it is not another political agendas and waste of time. The sure of this leader to vacate the seat is when his life ends by nature.

You are the Miracle

"If you are afraid to loose the shore, than you shall never find the new land"

Everytime when I read the above quote, it will remind me the great Malaysian who made the solo sail around the world. Take a moment and be in his shoe, imagine how he would have face the world alone in the middle of the sea. Not a day or two but it took months. Facing the sea without seing any land for months. No one to talk, no one to refer, no one to complaint and you have to spend all weeks and month only by talking to yourself and trust your electronic instrument in a hope that they are the only cordination for you to reach the destination. If Dato Azhar afraid to loose the shore, I am sure he wouldn't have explored the world. And thats need a great spirit too.

Wake up on your own, cook and no one cares even if you were naked all day long. No aircond to spend your heat day and worse of all is the wave that reach almost 150 feet. Stripe yourself in a seat and just wait for everything to be settle by itself need a great passion and most all the trust in yourself and to GOD. Life need to be carry on with great focus on mind. Journey need to be continued and the goal must be achieve (destination).

What the quote said is actualy is a challenge for one not to be afraid to loose of what we have now but to carry on with life in order to meet the new opportunity as mention as new land. This is what knock on my head..... "not to be afraid of losing what we have". Be strong and open your arms for the ideas and welcome new opportunity. I think this is something like "Blue Ocean Stratergy". Do something new rather than doing what others have done. In another word, don't copy the idea of others but come with something that come from your own. Be creative and start to create. Don't be afraid of new things, and don't be afraid of losing anything, cause this might come out to be the best of all, and if it doesn't than what you got to loose?

Don't hope miracles to happen, many of us hoping everything to fall from the sky. I thing we have to be the miracle. We have to create the miracles. We can as we are the most power creature on this earth. We can always choose what we want. We can choose what we want to be and what we don't want to be, so why wait, Choose to be success, choose to be the best, choose to be inovative, choose to be productive, choose to recpect others, choose to think and talk positif, choose to to give a helping hand, choose to be humble, choose your friends, choose to forgive others, choose to create, choose to change, even you can choose to change the leaders, We don't loose anything by choosing anyway! Good luck.
