The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!

My last post was on Friday, October 12th 2007. It has been hardly a week, fact is, its only been four days, but what a difference it makes. What difference? Well, lets see, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
1. THE GOOD: One Malaysian launched into space, although the debate is still on whether he is a full fledged Astronaut. Space flight participant, yes, by America's and Russian standards. Malaysia? Angkasawan. All said, he is still the first Malaysian in space.
2. THE BAD: My heart and prayers goes out to the families of those who tragically died in the Tioman Ferry disaster. As usual, the authorities were quick to condemn. TV3 made claims that the Captain was the first to have bailed out. The lighting speed of our authorities to criticise and accuse was unleashed ! But what has the authorities been doing all this while? Wasn't their salaries increased recently for a job well done (supposedly)? The lackadaisical attitude of our authorities has reared its head again. Lets just hope that we are not going to spend millions to improve the maritime department!
3. THE UGLY: How else can you described this fella? Fete the orphans? Come on! Since when do we provide coverage to these people? We know he had an illegal building for a start. To allow him to carry on the building, whilst bulldozing others? For those who do not know the extent of illegal buildings and demolition of these buildings by the local council, let me remind you of this 'illegally built orang asli church' which was demolished. An 'illegal Hindu temple' that was demolished (amongst others) and also illegally built terrace extensions!Read Here, and here
May be we should accord this man more airtime so that he can guide all those in the poverty bracket how to make millions! My source tells me that as a Municipal councillor, you get stipends of RM500 per month, and all your expenses are taken cared off, via claims.
I guess, he must have claimed well, for this man was also not charged with 37 counts of corporate misdeed! Well, need I say more, THE UGLY definately!
If this is the way we honour somebody, Botak Chin should be made a TUN of the poor!
