Kita ghairah merubah sebanyak tanah bertuah
konon demi rezeki alam dan udara kita.
Kita sengaja terlupa tanah cicit yang syahdu,
tuli akan senandung insan dan unggas nan merdu.
Dari denai ke rimba dan sungai ke samudera
terdengar rintih ombak meraung bumi sejarah.
Pernahkah kita bertanya pada Gebeng terluka—
bersyair, berpantun demi kebahagiaannya?
Kita hanya memacakkan gedung dan kilang zahir
merela bumi Gebeng teracun beransur cair.
Kita sedang alpa malah amat bangat terlupa—
harta terkini menutup masa depan yang lara.
Di sisi mewah harta cemar sejarah bermula,
kita sedang memahat hikayat tragedi bangsa.
It’s March now. 4 years ago, we went thru a dramatic time where PR denied BN 2/3 in parliament and won in 5 states (now 4).
Ides of March actually is a day in Roman calendar, mean middle of the month (15 March ) also the day when Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times to death in front of Senate.
Here today I want to talk about a political drama movie, “Ides of March” direct by George Clooney, a democrat.
这片子最大启发人的地方是提醒任何的新鲜人，因为政治人物都不可靠的，在华丽的包装下，更多是虚假和侨做来哄骗选票。这故事里的候选人和intern的私情和悲剧都似乎很相识。尤其是，戏里男主角对候选人说：“You can lie, cheat & steal. You can start wars and bankrupt the country. They’ll forgive you for that. But you don’t fuck the intern.”，更是让我们大笑一方，因为我们也有类似的笑话 -”don’t screw the intern” , 哈哈！
I’s studying finance subject 2 years ago and did an assignment on sub-prime. At leisure, I also read Economist and other financial related books to understand more how these sub-prime crisis that almost wreck the world in 2008.
It’s a boring and highly technical subject where ordinary people having a tough time to understand. Well, it’s time for us to understand now here in Malaysia because our “brilliant ” federal government (BN) who is on over spending (to feed cronies and drying up coffer) spree now suggest to use/loan/borrow money from EPF (Employee Provider Fund) which suppose mean for retirement, to build house for low income group.
I don’t against any programme to help the poor to get their shelter but why use retirement fund? Is our government learn any from the sub-prime melt down that happen in 2008 in Wall Street but affected the whole world?
Opposition MP alleged that the federal government don’t want to raise money from the bond market as their debt is reaching it’s limit.
Well, we may need a economic collapse to make the change of the government.
GOD bless Malaysia and everyone. I need to help myself.
