Malaysia: Still a Safe Place?

I hate when people say that Malaysia is a safe place to live. It is just not so true enough. It make us feel safe, when the actual situation is not that safe and sound. The statement make us feel that we do not need to do anything to current situation. It is a lame understatement. It make us feel dumb. It brainwashed our mind.
Yesterday newspaper:A couple was killed inside their own house.They only discover the body after 3 days.
Few days ago newspaper: A couple was robbed. The girlfriend was gang-raped, and the boyfriend was forced to witness it.( Johor)
Day after day we found such newsclips. Not a very safe place to live does it now? Damn all those killer, all those rapist.Currently for the killer, if found guilty for 1st degree murder.. it will be death penalty...justice is done.Now...for a rapist...there are no such clause...1st degree rape.... do we need to rape the rapist back to done justice? Sound a little wierd isn't it.
I suggest we look at a different angle.Now, if a person commit a traffic wrong doing, at a higher level...we will ban this person licence...for some heavy cases we ban it for life...so he couldn't drive anymore...same goes so cases such as bad contractor...bad doctor...bad lawyer. Now for a rapist...the rapist actually mis-used his "manhood"...so why not make his "manhood" unused.... make it to be incapable of using it...give the rapist "manhood" a death penalty so that he will not used it wrongly anymore. Maybe sound cruel, but hey....we only live once...the rapist should think about the victim future before doing the crime. But I am affraid by doing so...all these rapist will end up killing the victims...because they do not want the victim to report it.
We should think more about this. We can't just simply do the law by our angered mind. It will make the situation worst,but I am very sad about our current situation. Every day there will be such cases here.
Where all the good people go?Where all the heroes go?Who will safe us? In Allah very believe. Pray to Allah every second...for our family and country to be a more safer place to live..amin.

Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Malaysia?

Firstly, this is not a racist taught. It is an expression of how I love the origin of my self, my root, my race.This is only my free speech and I believe that I am entitled for such luxury.
I guess many of us aware that recently our ministry department declared that Bahasa Melayu is no longer Bahasa Melayu. It has been changed(yup...again..) to Bahasa Malaysia. This is for the unity purpose, so that as a Malaysia Nation, we are united with the Malaysian Language as our National Language....yet the first thing that crossed my tiny little mind is...how long this " Bahasa Malaysia" terminology will last this time?
Previously we already used thus terminology but it do not last. It is just the same with the usage of " Bahasa Baku" where we pronounce the word exactly as how it is spell.( which remind me of currently in ESPN channel they are telecasting Spelling Bee Competition...why on earth a spelling competition squeezed into ESPN?) It seems like we just keep changing this language related topic every now and then. This unsteady situation, does is resemble our true skin, our actual way of thinking? We are not firm about it. I don't see Chinese Government changing Mandarin, or Cantonese to Chinese Language. I do not see English Language been changed to "International Language" considering the whole world population used it as a language.
My point of view, Language expressed the something. It shows our root. To us Malay Race, what is left for us now? Does Malay has its own language now? If Chinese has their language, Indian has Tamil, even a minor race of Iban or Dayak Race has their own language. But no, now Malay do not has our own language as we used a standard language of "Bahasa Malaysia". It is so sad to think about it, we do not even have our own language anymore. I wonder, what if...what if Mandarin or Tamil is a national language. Do we changed them to Malaysian Language?Poor poor Malay, we don not even have our own language anymore. So now is the language? Whats next? Why not change Malay race to Malayisan Race.
"Bahasa melambangkan Bangsa"....I guess now Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka need to make some changes there...because here in malaysia..."Bahasa melambangkan Bangsa...kecuali untuk MELAYU".
Anyway, I wonder if all, every single person of Malaysian citizen can speak Malay Language soundly...fluently. I highly doubt it.

One other thing, does unity by language actually unite us as a nation? I see Indonesia, as a big country, all people there using Indonesia Language as a national language, yet we hear they always living in fear there. Seems like no unity to me. Who said that using one language which the terminology of the language represent the whole nation as a one country is one element for unity? Is it still relevant in today's life? Do we expect other race in Malaysia will change to be more patriotism after this? Does usage of Malaysia Language will be expand more? How to ensure Malaysia Language will be use by all Malaysia citizen in their daily life? It will be very weird not to use it on daily basis, as it is a national language. It is not like we have other remote location to live.We are here everyday. Somebody out there..please give me all these questions 's answer.

I wonder how long this will stand...we just wait and see...

United new boyz!


After getting Owen Hargreaves, Manchester United make double swoop in form of Luis Nani and Oliviera Anderson, both are Portugal League based player.
Nani was a Sporting Lisborn wide man. At 20, he is already a full international player.
Anderson, 19, was a Porto FC player and can play either wide, midfield or even forward just behind the top striker.
These 2 new signings shows Sir Alex Ferguson still has ambition to develop Manchester United as a top squad with talented young guns. However, the 2 new boys is still at tender age and we should not expect any high hopes from them. They are more likely a long term replacement for Paul Scholes and Ryann Giggs. After watching Nani performed at the Under 21 European Tournament with Portugal, I think we must give him couple of years before really his true potential at the English Premier League. He will need time to adapt the tough tackling league, and considering his lightweight body, he must fully use his dribbling and fast feed to get the better of players like John Terry, Jamie Carragher or even Kolou Toure.
Meanwhile, Anderson is a Brazilian who some claim as the next Ronaldinho. I hope this is going to be true. Nothing much are proven yet from him, his performance for Porto was good but due to a horrific injury, the action has been lessen back then. But from some of the mach with Porto, we can see that he has potential. He should be good enough for EPL, strong figure, fast feet, good passer and also skill full with the ball. But he need to adapt himself first as we previously see how Brazilian always failed to impressed in EPL.( remember a guy call Kleberson? Or remember Veron? Well he is an Argentinean though)
Anyway, I am looking forward how Sir Alex will use the 2 new boys. Just imagine Nani on the left, Ronaldo on the right, Anderson at the middle and Rooney just behind the top striker. With the likes of support, I think I myself can score about 10goals a year. Just throw me in as a striker and I think I can get some goal with that kind of player around me.
We will see how it will goes. Can’t wait for the EPL opening season…huhu.
