THE MIGHTY BARISAN NASIONAL

            Sudah hampir 2 minggu Pilihan Raya Negeri Sarawak telah berlalu, namun cerita-cerita susulan mengenai keputusan pilihan raya tersebut masih kedengaran di kalangan masyarakat negara ini. Mana tidaknya, keputusan-keputusan yang di luar jangkaan penganalisis politik telah menceritakan betapa keadaan politik di negara dan di Sarawak khasnya sedikit kurang stabil.

            Beralih kepada kemenangan Barisan Nasional yang Berjaya mengekalkan majoiti 2/3 kerusi DUN Sarawak pula, kemenangan itu tidak sepatutnya membuatkan jentera BN berasa selesa untuk menghadapi pilihanraya umum yang akan datang. Kekurangan undi daripada kaum cina terutamanya memperlihatkan kelemahan BN di kawasan-kawasan bandar yang majoritinya dihuni punduduk berbangsa cina.

            Kekalahan pihak pembangkan pula mungkin dilihat sesuatu yang memberansangkan bagi mereka apabila berjaya mencuri beberapa kerusi DUN penting di Sarawak. Malah, pihak pembangkang sebenarnya yang boleh mendabik dada setelah memperolehi keputusan penuh pilihanraya tersebut.
            Ramai juga yang berpendapat bahawa, UMNO, parti terpenting dan terbesar Barisan Nasional perlu masuk ke Sarawak untuk bertanding di pilihan raya yang akan datang. Idea ini merupakan suatu idea yang teruk, malah mampu menimbulkan persaingan kurang sihat di dalam parti itu sendiri. Kekukuhan PBB(Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu) Sarawak tidak harus diganggu dengan kedatangan parti luar. Kecemerlangan parti ini terbukti dengan kemenangan hampir 100% mereka di pilihan raya Sarawak.

            Bagi BN, masalah utama mereka adalah memenangi hati pemilih-pemilih di kawasan bandar, dengan erti kata lain, pengundi-pengundi berbangsa cina. Salah satu sebab dan kemungkinan ini berlaku adalah, berkenaan dengan ideologi yang telah diterapkan oleh BN dalam pilihanraya tersebut. Manifesto Parti BN lebih menjurus kepada membawa pembangunan kepada bahagian pedalam Sarawak dimana ianya sungguh berkait rapat dengan projek SCORE pimpinan BN. Kerajaan BN harus sedar bahawa situasi di Bandar adalah sangat berlainan dengan di pedalaman.

            Di bandar besar seperti Kuching, para penduduk telah pun merasai kemajuan yang telah di bawa oleh BN untuk sekian lama. Lupakan pasal mengenang jasa BN, penduduk di bandar seperti ini lebih cenderung kepada manifesto yang membawa kepada kestabilan sosioekonomi. Harga barangan sebagai contoh, pihak pembangkang telah memanipulasikan keadaan harga barangan yang tinggi, termasuk harga minyak untuk memenangi hati pengundi-pengundi di bandar. Inilah sebenarnya yang mereka inginkan dan perlukan. Pihak pembangkang yang berpropagandakan “KEKAYAAN SARAWAK UNTUK RAKYAT SARAWAK” Dan “VOTE FOR CHANGE” telah Berjaya akhirnya.

            Berlainan pula di kawasan pedalaman, kawasan-kawasan di pedalaman lebih mnyokong Parti BN oleh kerana permintaan dan keperluan yang berbeza daripada di bandar. Di pedalaman, penduduk lebih mengharapkan pembangunan dan penambahan infrastruktur. Berlainan dengan mereka di bandar, penduduk bandar tidak memerlukan semua ini kerana mereka telah pun hidup selesa menikmati kemajuan yang sedia ada. Penduduk-penduduk di pedalaman pula memilih untuk mengikut jalan yang lebih selamat dengan memilih kerajaan sedia ada untuk membawa pembangunan di kawasan mereka. Ini adalah kerana pihak pembangkang belum lagi menampakkan kreadibiliti mereka untuk membangunkan kawasan pedalaman.

           
             Inilah secara ringkasnya yang berlaku di dalam pilihan raya Sarawak baru-baru ini. Dan akhir sekali, saya berharap pihak kerjaan BN akan kekal menerajui Malaysia untuk membolehkan kesejahteraan rakyat dipelihara. Memiliki Y.A.B Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak sebenarnya anugerah yang tidak terhingga daripada Tuhan kerana pimpinannya yang telus dan ikhlas serta bersifat demokrasi sebenar dalam membawa Negara Malaysia ke peringkat yang lebih tinggi setanding negara-negara maju yang lain.

Bad Ego vs Good Ego

Everybody dislikes ego.
                Yes, everybody. Men? They only feel that they have to be ego. Ego is one of the culprits of relationship disasters.  Perhaps, the utmost one. Ego makes the men reluctant to admit mistakes, weaknesses, disabilities, the actual status, and feelings of fear and sadness. These leads to intolerance in relationships, and worsen the whimper of their women. As fight started, ego would likely to grow flare. Women are also having ego, the levels are actually the same with that of men, but it is under control, as women tend to change mind, easily feel sorry for something even when they sulk (at the same time working for consolations from their men), and easy to be persuaded by gifts. 

               However we always neglect the good side of ego. Everything has "good" side, the matter is just the period, and how the good side affect us in the final. For example, drugs are good because they can make us relieve and even feeling high. So, what is the good side, or importance of ego? 


                Ego is a very crucial feeling in sports. As I have mentioned, with ego, we try to deny our weaknesses and disabilities and discard the feelings of fear and sadness. They are really needed on the battlefield. We  need to think that we are winning no matter what. However, to me, we must admit our mistakes for the sake of improvement. Many sportsmen have this quality, however they used to take the wrong part of ego and forgot the important ones. I would like to use Datuk Lee Chong Wei as an example. He did not stay loose in his games before, we might consider what he feels as ego, which drives him to the top ranking. However, at the same time, his necessary ego was incomplete, because there were actually the feelings of fear hiding in the feeling of not-to-lose which made him tense. Until he found the true ego in winning, of which he missed the need to discard the feeling of fear, he started to enjoy his game opposing Lin Dan and gained the straight games victory over Lin Dan in the All England Open. Well, this is only one of the examples that we can see. 

Sex? The Ugly Truth of Malaysians.

Are we Malaysians recently getting too obsessed with sex? That’s the main question here. I’ve been reading newspapers and online media and was puzzled by Malaysians seeming obsession with all things sexual.

                Over the last few months, or even years, we have been treated to the most sordid details of a major sodomy trial. It was even revealed that traces of DNA from several different individuals were found in the rear end of one, shall we say, particularly hard-pressed gentlemen.

                Reports from the sodomy trial also revealed a sad picture of police incompetence. Important DNA samples taken from unmentionable parts of the human anatomy were apparently compromised because they were not properly stored.

                Interestingly, if you did a google search on “sodomy” or “sodomy trials”, 99% of all immediate references point to MALAYSIA..

                And now, when all were seems to go back to normal in journalism, a video was release purportedly showing an opposition leader in a compromising position with a prostitute.

                Meanwhile, a member of parliament opined in the House that husbands are drawn towards sexual promiscuity because their wives are not making time to satisfy them. He also admitted that men are sometimes excited by what they see “at traffic lights”. Now, who would have thought that traffic lights could turn people on?

                The honorable member went on to suggest that wives ought to drop whatever they were doing to immediately satisfy their husband’s sexual desires. So women are once again to blame for all the ills of men. HAHAHAHAHA…

                With such nonsense emanating from high places, is it any wonder why people are beginning to think that we are seriously messed up? Or that Malaysians male are big on libido and short of fuse? Or that we are just a bunch of male chauvinists who see our wives as little more than domestic workers and sex slaves?

                Back to the issues at hand, reports from the Teoh Beng Hock Royal Commission of inquiry noted that while an interrogation was underway, one of the interrogating officers took time out to download and watch pornography on his office computer. WHAT A MULTI-TASKING.

                And if that wasn’t enough, a newspaper this past week reported that the Chief Minister of Malacca blew his top over reports that young couples had been making out at some of the state’s historical monuments, including UNESCO World Heritages sites. Discarded condoms were found by early morning joggers as the obvious evident. Meanwhile in Johor, it was reported that female caddies at a golf club were doing more than just retrieving errant balls. The newspaper headline said it all: Caddies by day, Call-girls by night.

                All these reports are only a small portion to the reports that being highlighted in the media. Only a few report over many cases. The notion of Malaysia as a conservative country has been challenged. COME ON MALAYSIANS. WAKE UP.
