Moral of the Story for Voters: Don't Get Suckered by Promises BEFORE the Election



QUOTE:

"..... I hope the Chinese Malaysians still remember the Suqiu issue from about a decade ago.

Chinese activists jointly submitted a memorandum on their expectations to former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

As it was just before the general elections, Mahathir accepted it, giving the impression that the BN would implement the proposals.

The CHINESE were FOOLED into voting for the BN and that gave them a two-thirds majority, as usual.

AFTER the general elections, Mahathir blasted the Chinese community for holding him to‘ransom’ before the general elections.

It was around this time that Umno Youth went to the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, threatening to burn it down.

NOT ONE of the issues raised in the Suqiu memo was ever implemented.

Malaysians have continued to vote for the BN with no checks and balances as people have short memories. Suqiu then, now Hindraf. .."

" The Rangers are unique in the sense that they have many races with different cultural values, when these diverse values come together they become a formidable fighting force.

The Rangers used to strike terror into the hearts of her enemies during the long fight against the Communist Insurgents.

They have served with valour and courage against the Indonesians (during Konfrontasi) and the Communists. Many have laid down their lives, with some maimed for life.

Their motto, "AGI IDUP AGI NGELABAN", which means "While there is life there is fight". Their place of birth was Sarawak...."

Whilst walking down the street one day a Malaysian "Boleh" Minister is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in HEAVEN and is met by St.Peter at the entrance.

St. Peter:
Welcome to HEAVEN.
Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.

Yang Berhormat:
No problem, just let me in.

St. Peter:
Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is you have to spend one day in HELL and one in HEAVEN. Then you can chose, where to spend eternity.

Yang Berhormat.
Really, I have made up my mind. I want to be HEAVEN.

St. Peter:
I'm sorry, but we have our rules.

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down, down to HELL.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.

In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it, are all his friends and other politicians who had worked for him.

Everyone is very happy and dressed in the finest batik there is. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then indulge themselves on lobsters, caviar and the most expensive food.

Also present is the DEVIL , who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realises it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in HEAVEN where St.Peter is waiting for him.

St. Peter:
Now it's time to visit HEAVEN.

So, 24 hours pass with the Yang Berhormat joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing.

They have a good time and, before he realises it, the 24 hours have gone by and St.Peter returns.
St. Peter:
Well, then, you have spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.

Yang Berhormat:
Well, I would never have said it before. I mean HEVAEN has been delightful, but I think I am better off in HELL."

So St.Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to HELL. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in a middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The DEVIL comes over to him and puts his hands around his shoulder.
Yang Berhormat:
I don't understand. Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?

The DEVIL(smilingly):
Yesterday we were campaigning just like you during an election...Today you VOTED.

Moral of the story?
USE YOUR VOTE INTELLIGENTLY !!!



NEWS UPDATE !!

PROMISES, PROMISES and MORE PROMISES
(Simply incredulous. Questionable sincerity. Hypocritical at best.... and a bit too late in the day, isn't it?)

  1. MCA president Ong Ka Ting, Gerakan acting president Koh Tsu Koon and Education Minister Hishammuddin Hussein Onn - today revealed plans to build six CHINESE PRIMARY SCHOOLS in urban areas.
    They were accompanied by senior leaders from their respective parties.

    These new vernacular schools will be located in Sungai Long, Kajang, Bukit Serdang, Rawang in Selangor, Wangsa Maju in Kuala Lumpur and Danga Bay in Johor.

    This announcement - which includes plans to relocate 13 Chinese primary schools - is the largest ever of its kind to be ‘dished out’ to the Chinese community.

    The relocation will involve schools in seven states - Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang and Kedah. Read here on Malaysiakini for more
  2. Addressing a community roused to anger by the Klang temple demolition and the Hindraf rally almost two months ago, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak yesterday assured Malaysian Indians that their representative in the cabinet is taken SERIOUSLY and urged them to continue to work within the system.
    Najib apologised for the demolition of the 100-year-old Sri Maha Mariamman temple in Padang Jawa, Shah Alam, on Oct 29, a week before Deepavali."Let us not to repeat that mistake in future. If we are wrong, we admit the mistake. We are sorry for that," he said.

    Asked if the government plans to build more Tamil schools since more Chinese schools are in the pipeline, Najib said the government is positive as to how it can restructure Tamil schools.

    However, the government recognises there are grievances and aspirations of the Indian community that we have to address. The BN is going to do something more for the Indians,” he said .

    He said Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan had been asked to increase the intake of Indians and non-bumiputras in the civil service.

    (The problem with the civil service for Indians and non-bumiputras is the racially-biased PROMOTIONAL PRACTICE , favouring the Malays-Malaysian Unplug)

    Najib said more scholarships would also be given to Indians entering public universities and the bright ones would be sent to foreign universities.
