Hi Katdog , as far as i understand , for those oil producing states “sabah” “sarawak” , long time ago they had inked an agreement with federal govt on oil revenue sharing 95% to fed govt , 5% to respective states , for Trengganu i’m not sure wat’s the deal struck between fed govt & that state.

therefore to over turn this unfair deal , in my opinion Pakatan must win in the next GE to form the federal govt , only then this unfair deal could be reviewed………

Thanks

So, our future PM here is basically saying.. “Hey come on, ppl.. relax.. it’s not as bad as other even more developed countries..so what’s the problem? we should be satisfied with what our police is doing..” One word : COMPLACENCY (assuming that his statistics are accurate to give him the benefit of doubt).

Irene is one of our managers from our PJ branch and this is her report on what happened yesterday 16th Oct 2008 in PJ after the down pour at 7pm.

Crime is a big problem today and therefore please be alert while on the road.

Subject: FW: A True Incident That Happened TO ME Last Night

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to share my experience with you on what actually happened last night while on my way back from the office alone.

It was raining heavily while I left the office about 7.00pm and I was caught in the traffic jam along the way home. On reaching Kampung Tunku, I noticed some bikes tailing me closely. My reaction was bikes riders will not be so gentle on the road, even on rainy days, they often speed. As I could not view clearly in the downpour, I activated my rear windshield wiper to have a better look.

I saw three bikes behind me. Following that, one rider moved in front of my car towards the left and two riders were behind me for a while. And I heard a very loud crashing sound at the rear of my car.

I did not stop to investigate but accelerated and continued my journey home despite whatever damages I have to incur for repairs. After a while, the three bikers went missing and guess what next. A breakdown tow truck was behind me next. Along the way, my drive was not comfortable as I felt that my car was not moving in the right way.

I continued my journey, whatever, and on reaching home, guess what, two tires, LH Front and Rear were punctured flat.

We always read and heard that such incidents are happening daily, and this time I experienced this myself.

Please inform all your wives and loves ones not to stop the car while driving alone, just carry on the journey.

With regards,
Irene Kok

Tell to the thousands of crime victims whose sons, daughters, mother, father and friends who were robbed, murdered or mutilated for life that these were only their perceptions and they were having hallucinations. They just woke up from a terrible dream and everything is just make-belief.

Tell to the millions of home owners who have to barricade their homes with grilled irons and armed with sophisticated alarm system to deter robbers from breaking into their castles. They are stupid because it’s only their perception. The police in Bolehland are super-efficient and they must not be so paranoid.

I love Malaysia, that’s why I must speak out. Many of you are only here to get your fat ass pay and jalan!

Our future PM to-be is going to govern by “perception” i.e. Management by Perception.

Just change the perception and everything will be all right. Never mind the reality that things are NOT OK. Just change the perception and viola! we are all right. Everything is bright and sunny and there will be no need to do anything.

Be afraid, folks. Be very afraid when he takes over. From the hot pot into the fire.

The fact is, Malaysia’s crime rate is spiralling. I don’t think anyone is putting the blame on any race specifically. I understand why some (or many?) of the policemen do what they do to survive. They are woefully underpaid. A BBC report in 2006 says that a new recruit earns around $180 a month. That’s around RM600 and is probably below the poverty line.

It’s ridiculous to expect our police force to live on the low salary while politically connected bigwigs get hundreds of millions in commission for doing nothing. I think we have got to blame the BN government for this mess. They closed a blind eye to corruption below because of their own greed since it’s easier for them to be on the take if everyone else is on the take. It could even be said that they forced those below them to be corrupt by giving them an unliveable salary.

As to why many Chinese do not want to join the force, well, I can’t speak for all the Chinese but there are many reasons why I refuse to join the force.

I want to be able to offer my children an opportunity to further their studies if they are capable but I don’t have the luxury of MARA or other bumi scholarships and I need to pay 5-10% more for my house. We are also hamstrung by entrance quotas into local universities. Can I afford to do that living honestly on a policeman’s salary?

The (perceived) lack of promotion is another thing. My cousin and uncle, who are both retired now, were in the civil service for years but were never promoted. Sure, there are some who are promoted but they are few and far between and it’s based on quotas as well.

So, I chose a line of work that’s harder (but probably much safer) and with a pay that I can save for the future without resorting to anything dishonest. I do not want my children to go through the same system of uncertainty and hardship. I want them to enjoy their lives without worrying about the future as much as I did when I was young. Isn’t that the hope of every person?

As for the crime rate, let me post a link I got from another blog:
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_percap-crime-murders-per-capita
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rob_percap-crime-robberies-per-capita
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rap_percap-crime-rapes-per-capita

Malaysia has a higher number of robberies, murders, and rapes per capita when compared to Japan and Hong Kong from 1998-2000. I think it’s more important to consider a breakdown of serious crimes rather than total number of crimes. I doubt that many Malaysians even bother to report lesser crimes due to all the hassle and knowing that the police wouldn’t even be bothered to deal with them.

One thing to bear in mind that this are statistics. And just as with our inflation figures etc. these are not always 100% true. How the statistics are calculated and derived needs to be understood. One needs to be mindful especially of ‘statistics’ provided by Malaysian authorities.

These numbers are calculated only from REPORTED cases that HAVE been investigated and classified as true. (Of course this is completely logical, you can’t include prank calls or false reports into your statistics.)

But now ask yourself, knowing the Malaysian mentality and style, how close do you think the statistics would be to actual conditions on the ground?

Hi Cintanegara, why you ask outsider’s and penumpang to sacrifice for your country? You say we cannot have this and that because we are not the majority race, but now you say we should be willing to sacrifice and earn low pay and work in low ranking jobs to sacrifice for your country?

Since i am only ‘pendatang’ here, why should i be asked to waste my life for you. I could easily go be a ‘pendatang’ in another country and get high pay and high ranking post AND equal rights and protection.

“Again, I salute to those Non Malays from SABAH and SARAWAK for thier willingness to join the force. They seldom ask but always contribute.” -Cintanegara

Unfortunately Sabah and Sarawak people are one of the poorest in the country even though they contribute the most (44% of our country’s revenue is oil). This is what happens when you sacrifice blindly to the UMNOputra’s. They will rape you and take everything you have. And when you have nothing left they will just leave you.

Do you really want to sacrifice your life for people like that?
