Kamen Lee: Azalina said it was a ‘technical’ matter when her ministry channels funds to a different committee and not the state Tourism Action Councils (TAC) like other BN-held states. Technical? My foot! This is daylight robbery. We, as voters in Selangor, Penang, Perak, Kedah and Kelantan, are now being robbed of our much needed tourism money. I am gutted. These are the things that BN likes to do that vindicated my choice in voting for the opposition during the recent election. Zorgen: Irregardless of whatever explanation that was given, it is very obvious that this is discriminating against the people in the five states under the administration of Pakatan Rakyat. I suggest that the people in the five states controlled by Pakatan Rakyat should pay their income taxes to state government instead of going to federal. By the way, Azalina and other BN (so-called) leaders must not understand anything about psychology. The more discrimination imposed on the PR states, the more the people will insist on supporting PR. BN has never learned from their failure in Kelatan. Probably they (BN leaders) are too proud to learn from the rakyat. All these (and upcoming) discriminations already helped me to decide my vote in 13th GE. Let's experience another round of tsunami in five years time. Uncle Leow: If Azalina get away with this we should hold a referendum to determine that: 1. Citizens of the five states pay taxation only to their state government. The PR state government should find a law to allow us, the citizens in the PR states, to pay income tax and all federal tax directly to the state government. Only after deducting all needed expenses like for industrial development, sports, tourism and others will the balance go to the federal government for defense, transportation and other related matters. 2. Become independent and secede from Malaysia. PR states should become independent, running their own internal and foreign affairs. The PR state will maintain own foreign diplomatic corps, their own police and army. Just like the republic of Singapore and Brunei. In this way, the PR states can run their own administrative policies without conflicting BN’s. PR and BN can be friends again without causing harm to each other. Peter Yew: Somehow her actions betray her and Azalina’s actions clearly show strong discrimination. Was she suggesting that the BN government does not trust federal funds in the hands of the PR state governments? I would venture to say that based on the corruption records of past BN state governments, the PR state governments will be able to stretch every federal ringgit more effectively. In many countries, tourism is a state affair and tourism revenue are retained by the states. May I suggest to the PR governments to initiate their own state run tourism programmes and see how the BN government reacts. |
This morning i found a great story about a man committing suicide @ genting and got caught by the safety net of Skyway. The officers are trying to convince him to give in and come back by fried chickens and maybe offer him a slower death by offering him some ciggys.
Now i notice something very funny. Go to this link, where the story is

Move your cursur to the "Win" alphabet, from the "window" word, you should notice there is an underline on "win", and walaa, what you get.
Malaysian youngsters Badrul Bakhtiar and Bunyamin Umar are set for a two-week trial with Chelsea.
The two 20-year-olds are considered Malaysia's brightest talents and left for London on Friday to train with the Premier League side.
Both are youth internationals for Malaysia and impressed during the Champions Youth Cup in 2007, an Under-19 tournament which featured national and club teams like Malaysia, Juventus, Milan and eventual winners Manchester United.
Bunyamin captained the Malaysian team which held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw in the group stages, and Badrul was a standout striker throughout the tournament.
The duo will now hope to impress manager Avram Grant in order to earn long-term deals at Stamford Bridge.
Ok those who don't know who Chris Crocker is, he is the guys yelling "Leave britney alone...."
I just found out he recorded a Britney video...gg
You should never judge a book by its cover, but what if that book turned out to be a comic? Batman Bin Suparman might not be a joke, but his name sure is.
In Singapore, English is the most widely used language and all names are translated or converted to English when their Birth Certificate is issued.
On May 13, 1990, this young man was blessed with being named after two superheroes: Batman and Superman.
Unfortunately we were unable to find the boy for comment, as no one seems to know his alter egos…

This will be a dream come true for alot of people. Comfortable and safe ride from KL - PG and vice versa. People will travel more frequent between this 2 places. I can shop in KLCC and back home to watch EPL in PG on weekends...sweet!!BUTTERWORTH: It will only take three hours to travel from Penang to Kuala Lumpur by train when the electrified double-track project (EDTP) is completed.
Once operational, commuters can have breakfast in Penang, lunch in KL and return to the island for dinner, all in the same day. Currently, the train journey between the destinations takes about nine hours. More...
Have a look

I am often drawn away from desk throughout the day, and often without my laptop. I find it helpful to my coworkers to leave a note to where I've disappeared to, so I've written a VB script called ssController. SsController takes a string and uses it as the text for the default Windows screensavers "3DText" and "Marquee" then launches th 'saver, bypassing any timeout you might have set.Once you save Jim's VB script and set a keyboard shortcut for it, invoke the script and you get a prompt that looks like this:
Type in your away message, hit OK, and the 3DText or Marquee screensaver will launch with the away message set as the text. Handy! As you can see from the prompt, you can also type in @ to launch the screensaver's settings, or ! to disable it entirely. To set up ssController, download the zip file below, which contains the VB script and a ReadMe file with suggested instructions to set things up.
Note: When I first ran the script, I got an error message about a missing registry key, because I hadn't used either of these screensavers on this PC before. To fix that, right-click on your desktop, choose Properties, and in the Screensaver tab, choose the 3DText saver. Hit Settings to set up your font size, appearance, and custom text. Once you save those settings, ssController should work without a hitch.
