Odysseys of George

As life cruises along; vita non est vivere sed valere

I was thinking twice as to whether I should blog about a such a person – whether he deserves this spot on the blog. Looking at the recent events, I think I believe “what goes around, comes around”.

So, a brief recap. Dato Z became national news around late October when the press revealed his questionable mansion which has 21 bathrooms and 16 bedrooms, including 11 that occupied by each of his children, as well as a VIP room, three living rooms, a dining hall and a prayer room. The mansion also has a swimming pool, several gazebos, an orchard, a two-hole golf lawn, an office, a storeroom, two rooms for maids as well as a wet kitchen and a dry kitchen. This particular mansion despite being illegal is still very much grounded.

I wrote about this in October 2007 namely “Of Arrogance and Tolerance” and ” Of Sultan Selangor, PM and Rakyat Power“.

So with the loss of Selangor state to the opposition and the loss of his daughter who stood for election, worsened by the fact that all hell would break open revealing more juicy bits, Dato Z probably got too stressed and died from heart attack early Tuesday morning.

For the very least, I know God is watching and the Rakyat has shown its power.

Elections Aftershock

So our 12th Election came and went pass.

As like said by many, it was a tsunami of sorts.
Being warned many times to be resting on their laurels, the National Front or better known as Barisan Nasional never seemed to learn. This was evident even after their major defeat when many of them were asked as to why they lost. Simply, the RAKYAT wants a CHANGE! Is it so difficult to understand!

However, my reason for writing is about MIC ( Malaysian Indian Congress). For the first time in the history of Malaysia Independence, only 3 of the 9 candidates for the Parliament seat won and none of the candidates for the state seat won. But, there are however more Indians in the Parliament but under the Opposition banner also for the first time in the history of Malaysia. The Indian community should be congratulated for having once being able to stand together and show their utter disgust with the President of MIC, Samy Vellu and the whole of the MIC leaders who do nothing else but kiss up to the president. So, Samy Vellu lost! Hell Great! But wait a minute! Rather than taking defeat and responsibility for the crumble of MIC and walk away at 72 years old, he decides to make a comeback! He says, ” Every new thing has an end, but this is a new beginning!” Oh! How blatantly blurr can he be and as usual the other leaders in the organization seem to agree to have this senile old man back.

Well, I can’t imagine how the community will react if not only he remains as the party president but if Abdollah Badawi decides to retain him in the parliament as a Senator or something and then give him a ministerial post! This is ultimate disgrace and a total disrespect to what the general public has shown through the elections.

Anyway, this was sent to me. Enjoy!
