Most people have already got too much a dose of election news that it is becoming boring. So it is a breath of fresh air when people got creative and comes out with different perspectives instead of the usual blah-blah. Spotted in Malaysia Today:
A " Medical" Perspective on Why the BN Lost in the Recent Elections
Posted by Raja Petra
Monday, 07 April 2008
With the thrashing that they got in the 12th.GE, the BN is now in ICU and they are doing a post mortem to find out what happened.
To help BN with this task, the following medical report has been prepared to identify the diseases / illnesses that have been plaguing it and how these ailments have caused this sickening organization to become so sick that major surgery is now being considered.
Diagnosis
Overeating - gorged themselves and ate too much of the people's money
Heart failure - did not have a heart to really care about the rakyat
Rectal cancer and constipation - did not expel all the shit from the system
Diabetes - fondness for sweet things, i.e. saying sweet things to try and con the rakyat ( in plain English, lying )
Stroke - stroked too much of their own ego and became too arrogant
Overworking - too busy running here and there cutting deals for own benefit
Alzheimer's - forgot to play the proper role of an elected representative
Obsessive-compulsive neurosis - obsession with cleaning, especially sweeping things under the carpet
HP6 - a mutation of the deadly H5N1 ( bird flu) virus which manifests itself in the form of idiocy or semi-idiocy, thus the descriptor " half past six ( HP6)". Many members of the BN are infected.
VD - Very Deaf. Did not listen to the grievances of the rakyat and did not heed the healthy advice and feedback from bloggers.
Color Bind - a form of visual impairment which is directly the opposite of being color blind. There is a fixation on color and everything must always be discussed in terms of "color" - Malay, Chinese, Indian etc.
Liver problems - failure to de-Liver on promises
"Inverted Cerebranus " - a new form of disease where the cerebrum and anus are transposed causing highly irrational and objectionable behaviour, like brandishing ancient weapons and ranting racial slurs and threats
Prognosis
Not good and definitely a terminal case. Chances of recovery are 1 in a gadzillion, about the same odds as Osama converting to the Jewish faith and becoming a messenger of world peace.
Cure
No known cure. Euthanasia recommended. Suggest to drink lacquer - at least it will ensure a beautiful finish
By Political doctor
Government fed by the people
Career options
I suggest government... because nobody has ever been caught.

I still remember when I first dabbled in the stock market, it was before the scripless CDS and everyone had to physically keep share certificates of shares bought and deliver them when sold, in KLSE.
Then, there was this joke about being ‘cool, calm and collected’ when the shares bought with the intention of contra trading ended up having to be paid for and share scrip ‘collected’, after the initial ‘cool and calm’ when prices dropped instead.
Someone, somewhere came out with the following market jargon, which is simply hilarious, if not for the current situation which adversely affects most players, big or small:
Bull market : a random market movement causing an investor to mistake himself for a financial genius.
Bear market : a six- to eight-month period when the kids get no allowance, the wife gets no jewellery and the husband gets no sex.
Momentum investing : the fine art of buying high and selling low.
Value investing : the art of buying low and selling lower.
P/E ratio : the percentage of investors wetting their pants as the market keeps crashing.
Broker : poorer than you were last year.
Buy, buy : a flight attendant making market recommendations as you step off the plane.
Standard and Poor (S&P): your life in a nutshell. [that's me me me!!!]
Stock analyst : idiot who just downgraded your stock.
Market correction : the day after you buy stocks. [that's me me me too, Duh!!!]
Cash flow : the movement your money makes as it disappears down the toilet.
Institutional investor : past year investor who is now locked up in a nut house.
EBITDA : Earnings Before I Tricked The Dumb Auditor.
EBIT : Earnings Before Irregularities and Tampering.
CEO : Chief Embezzlement Officer.
CFO : Chief Fraud Officer
EPS : Eventual Prison Sentence.

Living in different times...
Just like the oppositionists, I always feel that we, ie. those in our fifties, are born losers.
When we were teenagers, we had to listen to our parents. Now that we are parents, we have to listen to our children.
I still remember when we had our school holidays, one of the jobs to do was to repaint the house and through trial and error, we became quite good at it.
So, five years ago, when my son’s house was being rebuilt, I offered to paint the whole single-storey house. So good was I (including joining the workers for lunches and tea breaks) that I was actually thrilled when one of the contractor’s workers who came occasionally to deliver materials and to clear debris, asked if I was originally a painter!
Well, we have to move with the times and I am not really complaining as he is now earning GBP and taking courses to complete a Master’s programme while working a 37-hour week, much to the envy of his friends and relations in Malaysia, especially the short working hours! Obviously I wouldn’t want him to paint our house just to follow tradition!
When I was abroad for a number of years, my vacations back in Malaysia meant being with my parents most of the time, until when I finally came back for good, my dad already had a stroke and he wasn’t able to communicate with me. Again, this was something to be expected, sooner or later.
Cheng will be back for a few weeks in June/July and her Polish friend will be joining her for 3 weeks which would include going to Vietnam and Sabah and he was worried about taking her time from us! Well, just to get him mentally prepared, I wish to share this joke being passed around in the net:
A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl. Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him.
The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:
Lawyer: Have you any grounds?
Polish man: Yes, an acre and half and nice little home.
L.: No. I mean, what is the foundation of this case?
Pm.: It made of concrete.
L. : I don't think you understand. Does either of you have a real grudge? (garage)
Pm.: No, we have carport, and not need one.
L. : I mean, what are your relations like?
Pm.: All my relations still in Poland.
L. : Is there any infidelity in your marriage?
Pm.: We have hi-fidelity and good DVD player.
L. : Does your wife beat you up?
Pm.: No, I always up before her.
L. : Is your wife a nagger?
Pm.: No, she white.
L. : Why do you want this divorce?
Pm.: She going to kill me!
L. :What makes you think that?
Pm.: I got proof.
L. : What kind of proof?
Pm.: She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom. I can read, and it say: "Polish Remover ".

Essay of last resort...
when one had to convince the Admission Officer that English wasn't a problem.
I was surprised to find the existence of SuaraAnum.com's archived past publications. For my own record, I reproduce Cheng's article (in Issue 21, November 21, 2002), which is still relevant so long as UUCA exists in its present stifling form:
Selling Our Souls
For me, it all began in Standard Six when I scribbled "ahli politik" (politician) in the blank beside the word "ambition". That shocked a few weak-hearted teachers who meant well but who ever figured a girl of twelve will see her future with manipulative power-struggles in the murky world of politics normally associated with stubby and balding middle-age men complete with 'prosperous' pot-bellies? Well, no one told the girl that politics in a person's (or rather, a boy's) life starts at 40.
Our country's Universities and University Colleges Act 1979 (UUCA) has a profound effect on the intellectual freedom and freedom of speech in institutions of higher education. It affects not only the students but also the academia and impinges issues like race and government policies which are deemed 'sensitive', hence 'unsuitable' for open discussion, dissent and debate in our diverse and stratified society. While the rationale behind the act remains a controversial subject, the more perturbing fact is the level of apathy among those who are supposedly affected - the students themselves. At one glance, the Act seems pretty harmless, requiring university and college students to secure prior consent of their Vice-Chancellor whether they are organizing a prom or debate of any sort. However, take a step back for a wider view… our noble quest for knowledge is handicapped, severely restricted to the usual "safe" subject matters. A far-cry from the knowledge-fixated era in Greece when great philosopher, Aristotle told his students the secret to great knowledge, that is, "to question".
As the Canadian rocker, Alanis Morissette croons, "isn't it ironic?" Malaysian students face contradictory ideals; the raison d'etre of institutions of higher education is to promote learning yet that learning is only encouraged within a limited scope, preferably just enough to score an A in the examinations. This is appalling considering the fact that students of such high levels are generally inquisitive, idealistic and passionate with their newfound spheres of knowledge. And it is only natural that these blessed few divert to the social sciences like politics with their apt understanding of the world along with youthful zing to correct the wrongs of the status quo and in due course, 'change the world'. In the case of political awareness, it is when you know that you know you have to act, to quote Martin Luther King Jr., "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter". Politics is not bad; it is a reality of life and indeed promises the seductive realm of power to the hungry many. So why can't we talk about it?
Ah, the fall of others teaches us well. Being adventurous politically does not pay for students like the one student who was expelled from Universiti Teknologi Mara while two others from Universiti Sains Malaysia faced disciplinary actions for their involvement in a peaceful gathering to protest against the Internal Security Act 1960 sometime last year. Officially, the UUCA forewarns an imprisonment of up to six months and hefty fines if students and academics are found to be involved in any political party, society or trade union without the university's permission. Alas, the message is clear; politics is bad for us students. And the end result of the all-embracing nature of the UUCA is obvious; a generation of politically-indifferent students obsessed with consumerist desires and first-class honours. Just ask yourself, how many of us are sincerely anticipating the significance of their 21st birthdays that will grant us all an eloquent vote each in the next elections? And students do not deserve the blame, for questions on 'political awareness' do not come out in their examinations, it is therefore, unimportant and redundant in our jolly college life of shaking our bon-bons in discos or mugging for the examinations, or so they tell us.
Surprisingly, it was not always so. In the days of our parents, they had the unpredictable yet promising post-Merdeka period. The rest of the world had the Hippie Era of anti-establishment, infatuation for world peace, Jimi Hendrix and long hair. The year 1964 in America was an incredible, stirring period with the Free Speech Movement which started at UC Berkeley when students were prohibited from political activities on campus property. The students retaliated by holding rallies on the steps of the Administration building and sit-ins inside demanding their rights, starting a wave of similar protests across America. The movement's organizer, young Mario Savio made a moving statement in his speech, "The most exciting things going on in America today are movements to change America… The 'futures' and 'careers' for which American students now prepare are for the most part intellectual and moral wastelands. This chrome-plated consumers' paradise would have us grow up to be well-behaved children."
I am not exactly advocating a revival of the Free Speech Movement in Malaysia just yet. Rather, this article serves as a pondering thought to the very essence of our higher education other than the pragmatic economical view of the purpose of such institutions that reduces us to mere 'economic capital' (i.e. labour). When the youths are equipped with the theoretical and technical know-how, our young country can advance through the 21st century as an ideal developed nation as propagated by Vision 2020. But when they are denied their rights to question and express themselves, I fear, we will lose our souls along the way.
For the Love of K.M.
My comment:
SuaraAnum was founded and edited by Nik Nazmi at the age of 19 and he had written articles for some known journals as a student.
At 26, he happens to be the youngest elected ADUN for Seri Setia at the recent General Elections 2008 and now holds the post of Political Secretary to Menteri Besar of Selangor!
Would he be able to develop his potential if he were to stick to UUCA requirements?
