Man proposes and God disposes, they say.
For all the planning that I did in the early part of the year the only thing that had me going was that my plan is still well a plan.
Fortunately, thanks to the chappies in Cradle that has extended our deadline, all else remains a plan.
But for all the things that I did not plan, thanks to those who helped me along, and looking back, its been a while since we can say that we did have a good year. So, 2010 was that (still more than 24 hours to go, but a bige part of it is well, in the past now.
In the blogging front, I am glad that I have got back blogging, ang this has helped in part for me to channel my frustrations and stress release to move along.
I hope 2010 was a good year for you too, and if hasn't don't depsair.
Believe me, when I say I have been dragged through the depths of hell, and as long as you can acknowledge that, everything thing else can only get better.
God Bless You, and Malaysia!

Who is the wolf here?
Much has been said about Anwar's suspension from Parliament, with PR lawmakers quick in accusing the speaker and the Dewan as 'Kangaroo' court.
But as usual, Malaysians are quick to make their own judgment, ignoring the accused. It seems (and it has already been long proven that only in Malaysia, you are guilty as long as you are dragged into it) that there must be fire as long as there is smoke is the adage that we all stick to.
How many people remembered the failed (as is proven now, some 15 years or so into the program) education policy that we now have is a legacy of Anwar Ibrahim? How many remembered the death of the Christian School (La Salle brothers) that was brought about when Anwar was Education Minister?
Well, it does not take a genius to remember Anwar's folly when he was up there.
He has done it yet again.....(and as socnfirmed by the unconfirmed statements by MM Lee...) this time trying to tear into the 1 Malaysia policy that help forms the blueprint of the Najib Administration.
If we do not believe the accused (here, APCO) with a sworn statement, then why is it that we are so quick to believe another (previously, sworn statement by PI Bala)?
PRESS STATEMENT: RELEASED AFFIDAVIT STATES ALLEGATIONS AGAINST APCO WERE FALSE
Washington, D.C. (December 22, 2010) - APCO Worldwide has cooperated fully with the parliamentary privileges committee and given a complete and accurate response, with corroborating evidence, to the false charges against APCO. The office of the Law and Parliament Minister today has made public an affidavit from one of the political consultants involved with ‘One Israel’ stating that Dato’ Sri Anwar Ibrahim’s allegations against APCO were false. The affidavit confirms what we have said from the beginning. APCO had no involvement of any kind in ‘One Israel.’ Any statement alleging that APCO was involved in ‘One Israel’ is untrue. It is also untrue that APCO was involved in the creation of 1Malaysia. APCO first learned about the 1Malaysia initiative in early 2009, months after it had been announced in a speech by Dato’ Sri Najib.
APCO remains honoured to have the opportunity to provide international public relations services to the Government of Malaysia as it undertakes its work on behalf of the people of Malaysia.

Yes! it is me....
Apologies if you think this posting is still about YES.
I was asked a couple of days ago is I was the same Tony Yew running this blog, as well as another by an Investigator from MCMC. Naturally, being a responsible blogger, my answer was yes.
I am also the pro tem Secretary of the yet to be registered Bloggers for Malaysia, though we have already been told that BFM is not likely to be approved by name, and most likely be changed to another name that we have in mind.
So why the questions? Yes, is likely to be related somewhat, as it was due to the link that a website carried that I am the editor of. So, if you have time to spare, do drop in again to see what the whole big picture is all about!
p.s...to the investigator. You were professional enough to carry out your duty, but unfortunately, IMHO, the whole issue is a non issue that resulted in all of us having wasted our time.

The calm after the storm...YES or NO?
Most of the time, a clam after the storm is mistaken for the end of it.
In fact, it is only the eye of the storm.
So in yesterday's report, when PM Najib was said to have told the Telco Industry that there will be a relook into the 700MHz fiasco, it seems that the Telco players have accepted it as the end of it all.
So in their ideal digital world 'the analog minister' will have to take it all back and then, the Telco players will
have their world as it was again. YES? NO!!
Why? Tune in next week!
p.s The regulators would like to apologise for the faulty transmission recently due to digital signal loss caused by severe analog inteference!!
