THE TOP 5 REASON WHY WE LOVE TO HATE SINGAPORE

3.Because they are never away long enough for us to love them.

2.Because when they say they are better ,more efficient ,more developed, more meritorious etc etc , it gets in the way of our appreciation of silence.

The story of a dick

"R. Subashini vs T. Saravanan is the latest case that places the fault-line of the dual-legal system to test. Subashini Rajasingham, 28-year-old Hindu woman married T. Saravanan, also a Hindu, in a civil ceremony in 2001. The couple has two sons; Dharvin Joshua, 3, and Sharvind, 1.

Later, their marriage broke apart, while T. Saravanan meanwhile embraced Islam, and converted his name to Muhammad Shafi Saravanan. Shafi Saravanan thereafter applied to have the marriage dissolved under the Syariah Court.

The wife then presented a petition for divorce and applied to the high Court for an injunction restraining the husband from (i) converting the children to Islam and (ii) continuing with any proceedings in any Syariah Court.Shafi claimed that Dharvin converted to Islam along with him in May 2006 about which Subashini claimed no knowledge of."

From the short description above ,all the information that one needs to know about this case can be gathered. Some people say that it is is causing a constitutional crisis as well as deepening the chasm between our multireligious society, but I beg to disagree. Basically,the facts of this case are not that complicated.Iit has a very simple origin as well as a very simple solution.

It started because a man called Saravanan is a dick and it will be resolved when everybody has the good sense to realise that this man Saravanan is a dick.
He was a dick when he was called T.Saravanan and he sure as heck still is one going by the name Muhammad Shafi Saravanan.
He is a dick for having the gumption of saying that his 3 year old son converted with him and he is a dick for involving his personal problem into the lives of everybody around him.

This man has no sense of decency.
Justice cannot and will be done so long as his man's claim are processed upon reasonably.
The difficulty and sensitivity in assesing his case lies solely in the fact that all concerned have not fully acknowledged what a dick he is.
That we may be blurred by our reverence of the courts is probably one of the reason why we cannot see straight in this matter .
Simple things do get more tangled when lawyers and judges come into the picture.
If this was just an issue in our neighbourhood or our family, it would have been crsystal clear what the problem actually is .The problem is , as it may very well be clear right now , is that we are dealing with a dick.
Through a complete and unadultarated understanding of this , neither Hindus would be lamenting his loss nor the muslims be in any mood to celebrate it.

I pray that a day will come soon when people will realise that for whatever reason that this man choose to switch from one religion for another , god nor conscience played no part in it.

If we must argue (and I am not amongst those who says that that we should never argue) can't we wait for something more serious to come so as to make the fight more worth it.

Win or lose this , I do not see neither ourselves nor future generations gaining or learning from this experience considering that it is contaminated from the begining by the participation of this limp and worthless dick.

Of catchphrases and lazy bums

KKN yakni Korupsi , kronisme dan nepotisme...
Malaysia boleh !
First class facility, third world mentality
Cemerlang ,gemilang terbilang
Melayu,cina, india....
Islam Hadhari
Melayu Perkasa

Above are some of the more famous useless coinages that needs no introduction in our country.
Famous because of a random yet concentrated effort by a neverending stream of hacks to give legitimacy to either one or more of these irritating phrases by the means of constant repetitions and useless because never in the illumanative history of the world has any man serious in his attempt to achieve or solve anything of importance wastes his or her time running around trying to to get everybody to agree on its name first !

Do you think the Wright brothers only decided to build the flying machine after the decided to call it an aeroplane !

or did Einstein only managed to imagine the nature of reality after his wife and him settled on the name Relativity first!

NO !!

and You know why ?
Its because guys with a fetish for sloganeering never ever did anything of service or consequence to anybody , other than perhaps find a seat for their own fat arses in some high political office somewhere.

Of a flawed and tragic humanity

Amongst the various personalities that make up the local blogging universe , I confess that I have a softspot for this one particular man as pictured at the side who goes by the name Kickdefella .

Of all the noteworthy writings in cyberworld,many are capable of appealling to ones reason but few are as successful in petitioning to ones heart strings as he so easily does . (Come to think of it , other than Nuraina A. Samad's 3540 Jalan Sudin on certain days , I can't think of no other who are worth mentioning in the same paragraph)

From what I gather and by his own admissions, he is a filmaker,a father and a husband, which to an extent may explain the sensitive touch.
But more so than mere sensitivity, I believe his chief attractiveness lies in the courage that underlines his every word and protects his integrity even when his reasons are found wanting .
When you hear him, your brain may tell you that not all his facts make sense but often your heart goes along with it anyway because it is more than able to appreciate his passion despite this more obvious defects.

One learns with age I suppose,that as Providence in its wisdom tempers the timbre of all caring souls with one loose note, one too must learn to appreciate a man despite his imperfect nature.

If it is in to the hallmark of humanity to be both tragic and flawed then I would even venture so far as to say none in the local blogosphere have represented the image of man quite as well as this man does.

Recently though,word have came to pass that he has accepted employment with PAS while still being a card carrying member of UMNO .

As he is a popular figure in the blog world , congratulatory notes are pouring in from all and sunder as can be seen here, here and here.

What is disturbing though ,that far and wide and amongst the many well wishers he has it seems , not a single soul thinks of this as a bad idea and would go so much as to ask him to reconsider his decision.

Is is so far fetched to see that such a move like by a man in his position an responsibility may not be in his best interest ?

Is it too much to ask that someone al least warns him of the possiblility that to put himself between these two opposing and impersonal beasts may leave a bitter after taste where his conscience is concerned?

One can understand why both UMNO and PAS are silent on this man matter if one can learn to not expect much from either.
Soulless organisations as a whole , tend to have no trouble accepting the logic that the divine-made-man should sacrifice for human-inspired-creeds whenever convinent.

But his frens ?Where are his frens ?

Do they all concur that this move has no downside ?

Where are the blogs who are so famous for their fierce independent?

And yet , not a single soul dares to differ over this man's fate .

Like I have mentioned in a previous post ,with each passing day they sound more and more like those they claim to oppose.

But seriously....

"Indeed you can usually tell when the concepts of democracy and citizenship are weakening. There is an increase in the role of charity and in the worship of volunteerism. These represent the élite citizen's imitation of noblesse oblige; that is, of pretending to be aristocrats or oligarchs, as opposed to being citizens."

— John Ralston Saul ,CC , Ph.D (born June 19, 1947) is a Canadian essayist.

Now consider this. Does the quotation above reflects a pattern that a certain segment of our population are trying to manifest?

Like when Youth Leaders are sacrificing their day off leading a threatening mob to petition against the state of Isreal (Unless things have changes without my noticing , you still have to know something before you can be pissed with it , and really , how many of us can claim that where the Jews are concerned ) or when a Mat Rempit's future gets the concerned attention of certain quarters without him even having to ask for it,or when every man with a blog is doing something important like defending the sanctity of the constitution or protecting the integrity of Judiciary all out of their own not too sizeable pockets or when lawyers come forward to defend those very same bloggers (if it so happens than they are punished in the course of their "altruism") without asking nor expecting to get paid a a single cent for it , really,I wonder where is it that these selfless soul are taking us in this ride and what is it that they expect that you and I to do when we get there anyway ?

Get up,whistle and clap like seals ??

Bleed tears and declare between sobs another variant of that much abused phrase "hutang budi di bawa mati"?

Kneel and murmur "hail your excellency ,his most noble defender of righteousness and protector of the people's welfare" ??

Seriously ,what the heck is so wrong in asking to get paid if one intends to do good honest work .
Why the coyness in naming ones price??!!

A small mistake or a big mistake?

Notice that amongst the diatribe railed against Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi ,the sharpest pertains to his lack of intelligence.

I do not say "percieved lack of intelligence " because when accused , even his own supporters do not seemto be in any rush to deny it. ( comparatively, when he is labelled corrupt ,all and sundry they hasten to defend his unblemished character )

Balancing both their responses, one cannot but conclude that by and large, there is bipartisan majority agreement that our dear Prime Minister Abdullah simply does not possesss the mental capacity to perform satisfactorily manning on his own the the highest office in the land.

His heart may be good may concur , but his brains are definitely found wanting.
Of course this is not to say that he is an idiot as some are wont to do.
To be fair, The man has risen steadily over the years both in the civil service and political office before he ended up where he is . To indicate that some of the most intelligent men and women of our great country (Including Dr.Mahathir, who would eventually elect him ) could not have seen through such blatant shortcoming is an unteneble proposition.

There must have been merits to his ability to sustain such professional progress over the years .
It is difficult to believe that amongst the bank governors , civil servants ,judges, Media people, Chief Executive Officers , University Proffesors ,Ambassadors, cabinet ministers , district officers etc.etc etc that he would have surely came into contact during his long years within the government machinery, none noticed this man lack of any real ability or failed to raise a single word everytime he was up for another promotion.

Why if it were true , we might just be facing a problem more serious than just that one man and his unbelieveably good luck .
