Please go back again and read what I wrote. Jesus is son of God to me. But if others who choose not to believe, let them be. We will evangelise, but we will never impose. Please I would appreciate you leave me alone. There is no doubt in mind that you have something against for reasons best known to yourself.

However, the price went up by 41% after 1 year. He is using the same tactic again. See he is not smart. We can expect the price of petrol to go beyond RM4.50!

Only difference is that they are able to get hold of the rakyat's money and splash it at some posh hotels with all the glitters and make-over which make it seem all important. VVIP status accorded. 5-star rated event. But in actual fact, just another tame and lame affair. Well, jugde it for yourself. What have we gained from all those 'big-league' events, other than draining off the rakyats' coffers? We suffer in the end, while they pride themselves for having participated in such glossy events. They are the leaders of (while we are the) the down-trodden. The world really needs a paradigm shift. Leaders should not be allowed to use the tax-payers' money for their own agrandisement or political agenda. The world needs to relook at the way the people's money is spent. No wastage allowed. No free rides anymore. Pay as you use should apply to everybody, with no exemptions nor exceptions. Let this apply to all dealings, be it organising a dialogue or seminar, or even a holiday. Let the days of freebies die a natural death and the dawn of accountability begin anew! Good luck folks. Some people, somewhere, sometimes, somehow who wanted to be seen as knowledgeable, but who really are otherwise, get together with like-minded and like-attitude people from schools of other thoughts and seem to be debating something which seem to be hell and heaven moving and bending, are actually doing no more than just you and me chatting up at the mamak stall.

Why?? By the way the UMNO gang seem more relaxed these couple days, I think whatever crisis some smart Aleck did to spook and panicked that poor old Badawi into making a very hasty and irrational hike in fuel prices has or will pass very soon. So the government will soon afford to give some reduction in fuel prices to: Quote by Badawi:"lighten the people's burden and also because the government always have the people's welfare at heart".Unquote. The crux of the fuel reduction at the end of June 2008 (if it is to come) is to pacify us STUPID Malaysians into believing how very generous and caring Badawi's government is. Talking about dialogue, I think before we Malaysians go all "gang-ho" and hand power to PKR Anwar on a silver platter, is there a way that we can have a dialogue with him to secure some guarantees that he & his power house WILL NOT follow the same road as UMNO?? I am not that worry about DAP cause PKR will most probably over ride them in most policies plus DAP has shown to be in able hands under uncle Lim & son. I do have some deep reservations with how the PKR gang is going to behave when they are in power. After all, quite a number of them are re-cycled politicians and we all know that seasoned politicians are no band of angels!

How can u believe AAB when everyone thought the fuel hike will be in August, but then announce it to be immediate. Everytime fuel prices increases, his old say will be "Ubah Gaya Hidup" why not "Ubah Kera" “AAB said Wednesday that there won’t be any fuel price increase for the rest of the year.”

This is certainly one of the options which all religions must learn to accept. All religions must be made to understand they can't impose on others, their principles are not necessary the universal truth, but truth only to their respective followers.
