Well, just to update some stuff in the blog with my cynicism, since I guess I might have been too proficient in it. So here are some in random order, one for each day of the week.
1. Copyrights and Patent Rights
- It takes a few hooligans in Indonesia to start cultural claiming when they have nothing else to do. Understandable, since they are hooligans after all, threatening to kill Malaysians over petty stuff.
- While Indonesians have such hooligans, we have our tourism minister claiming rights over the recipe of certain food. How enlightening. Then we have Nasi Lemak, Bak Kut Teh (Pork Dish), Nasi Ayam Hailam (When Hailam is in China), Asam Laksa, etc. And the opposition sure have a very good laugh at our government for approving such a thing.
- Wait, then we have Penang Chief Minister doing the same thing. "If you want to use the word 'Penang', you have to ask our permission." The stakes just got higher. This is what I call the pot calling the kettle black.
This is definitely a sign of "Malaysia Boleh Claim Apa Saja Kita Mahu". Lol!
- Night clubs do serve milk, tea, milkshakes, fruit juices. Because that's what our countries princes drink while they go to night clubs. Chill with the music, dance a bit, here and there while enjoying such beverages.
- And then, there were fights (or rather one-sided) due to misunderstanding without the influence of alcohol. How nice. How bout booting them in a training camp and train them to be leaders of tomorrow? Then we'll have sensible kings who wouldn't kill a golf caddie just because the caddie giggled as the king missed his stroke.
- Funny how we debate on the maid's allowance when the agency fees are the one should be questioned. Besides, if that money goes to the maid, it would be Rm1000, exluding food and accomodation provided.
- Measures should be taken to punish those who abuse maids, not by raising their salaries, because these are two separate issue. We don't pay the maids to abuse them.
- If we want to mention about maid abuse, measures should also be taken to punish those maids who torture, kill or abuse their employers. Even those who run away not due to abuse. Enforcement of law should be done both ways.
- MCA President, a fanboy of China's 3 Kingdom history, never knew how to apply the lessons he supposedly learned from it. In fact, he threatened to quit if his ex-deputy is re-elected into the party. And he claims that the whole central committee must step down with him. Now that's what I call sour grapes. Such a paranoia from a man who spent most of his time dwelling in fantasy histories of pike and halberds in the era of guns, missiles and lasers, and forgot of the people skills.
- The committe decided to revoke the deputy's exile before the EGM, when the EGM was supposed to solve the issue. What a wonder.
- Committee members in charge in programs need not follow up on his duty. All he need to do was to say everything out in words, and it's up to other committee members to do the planning, the material and the execution. At least that's what one of the committee members thought, while being "in-charge" of the programme.
- And the activity has only 15 members in the Psychiatry posting groups.
- Last year, opposition leader claimed to have taken Malaysia over the current government on 16th September. It's just that he never really mentioned the date. It could be in 2030, 2109, 3002. Really!
- And the backbenchers who went for the agriculture trip never really came back with any enlightenment. Maybe the next agriculture trip would be in Alaska, Antartic, North Korea, or even the war-torned Iraq.
- The forecast of tsunami in Malaysia on 22nd July 2009 failed(fortunately) to materialize as the mail spread from one end to another. Propagation of caution in mails and message should be screened through the frontotemporal lobe of the brain, at the very least, before you start hitting the send button. The same goes to the Progesterex fictitious rape drug.
- There is always an invisible line which you could highlight to read at the end of those "accursed" forward mail. It is stated that if you send it, you are cursed to be an idiot, or in fact, you are already one, because you believed in it.
- If you believed the statement above, you must be one of those who love to forward those kind of mail.
- On a surprising note, forward mails weren't exactly just limited to e-mails of our era. It is not something we can claimed rights (Read Cynicism 1) over the previous generation. Apparently in those olden days, it involved copying the whole content on a few more papers (if not a stack of them) and send them via snail mail to your friends along with stamp charges. Just be thankful that we did not need to pay for stamp charges to spread such lies, apart from those who did it via SMS. Yes, most of you did it before, don't you? :P
