Hopeless…
Malaysia’s future will be much brighter if the thousands of UiTM students are as enthusiastic in their studies as of their recent demonstrations to protest against Selangor MB Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim for his suggestion to open a 10% quota for non-bumi students.
I couldn’t care much about the 10% quota for non-bumi students… but thanks for showing how deep the Ketuanan Melayu mindset is still rooted even among some younger generations.
Fear not about having others eating your pie UiTM students… most are not interested to enter the institution anyway. The real thing that you should fear is finding jobs when graduated; you know how good (or bad) you are… and you can’t rely on the government forever.
Oooppsss… should have written this article in BM instead; I wonder how many UiTM students can understand this… whatever.
It’s been a hectic and bizarre week (or two) for Malaysians, with all the wild accusations flying here and there. Lots of Malaysians are fed up with all the politicking and scandals, and I felt kinda tired with the development as well.
Time for a bit of changes… no more political stuff here for the month of July (or longer perhaps). I will share something more casual and leisure about Malaysia instead. With so many social political blogs around these days, I guess my serious thoughts won’t be missed regardless.
Malaysia is beautiful, and I will try to show you that it still is.
Abdul Razak Baginda’s private investigator P Balasubramaniam retracted his statutory declaration which he made less than 24 hours ago, stating that he was compelled to affirm the said statutory declaration under duress. [Thestar]
I am speechless, really.
What other bloggers (and commentors) are saying…

Razak Baginda’s former private investigator, P Balasubramaniam, has made a statutory declaration on July 1 regarding Altantuya’s murder case.
The details of the SD is available on Nat’s blog. To cut it short…
a. Balasubramaniam was hired by Abdul Razak Baginda (ARB) in October 2006 to deal with a threat calling him to pay his debts. He later identified that person as Ang (or ASP Tan), a private investigator employed by Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaaribuu.
b. Altantuya, identified herself as Aminah, claimed that she was there to see her boyfriend Abdul Razak Baginda. She (or Mr Ang) was demanding USD$500,000 commission owed to Aminah from a (submarine) deal in Paris.
Ever thought of Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, the man who accused Anwar of sodomy, might actually be a victim?
When Anwar was accused in the 90s, I believe he was framed; and despite my dispute over the recent accusation, I still believe that Anwar did not do it.
However, does that mean that we are absolutely sure that Mohd Saiful is not sodomised by Anwar? Is there no chances, not even 1% of chances that Mohd Saiful is telling the truth? I wonder.
Liwat-gate, sodomy-gate, turkey-gate, whatever-gate… the million dollar question is, is Anwar orchestring his own play?
The thought of Anwar plotting the show is rising for the past two days… just that most people who share the thought would not dare to raise their concerns fearing of being branded as cynical and also the backlash from PKR and Anwar’s supporters.
Just a few thoughts…
Who is the one that is actually benefiting the most from the current saga?
Is BN government that stupid to frame Anwar using the same old trick?
Who is behind the death threat?
Did Anwar really received a death threat or just tips from ‘reliable sources’?
Is the whole police force that corrupted that they are no good cops around at all?
Is it a logical choice to seek protection from a foreign embassy?
WTF do we need to involve foreign interference with this?
Isn’t it a bit too convenient for Turkey to provide the sanctuary?
Is Malaysia that volatile these days?
Are we in the same league of Myanmar, Zimbabwe or Pakistan?
I don’t want to suggest anything further… plenty of questions with no apparent answers though.
A few thoughts worth reading from other bloggers… Aizuddin and Bigdog.
If a political leader received a death threat and was killed, he became a hero.
If a political leader received a death threat and decided to hide in a foreign embassy, he becomes a joke… dead or alive.
I have no rights to tell people to risk their lives to become heroes… but of all options, is it the best one to seek refuge at a foreign embassy?
So, what’s next? How about asking military help from Indonesia or Thailand and takeover the country?
Besides, how serious is the death threat? From his statement, he learned from ‘numerous credible sources’ about the threat… hello? You call that a death threat?
