“We in MCA and MCA Youth won’t be easily bullied by others, ren bu fan wo, wo bu fan ren; ren ruo fan wo, wo bi fan ren,” he quoted the Chinese saying ( “人不犯我，我不犯人；人若犯我，我必犯人”, a rehash of what retired MCA leader Lee Kim Sai said in the 1980s when he was the MCA Youth Chief), which loosely translates to how one who is offended would retaliate.
Maverick says, Cakap tak serupa bikin:“In the ‘BN family’, we are brothers, there is no master and slave, there is no question of who is being scared of who or whom should kowtow to whom,” Liow added to a thunderous applause from the 887 delegates present. [...]
Liow suggested the authorities should do away with labels like ‘Muslims and non-Muslims’, ‘bumiputeras and non-bumiputeras’ among Malaysians to eradicate racism and advocate the spirit of ‘rakyat Malaysia’.
The apex of Liow’s speech was in the closing when he said that it was never MCA Youth’s culture to brandish the keris (traditional Malay dagger).
“If we want to brandish something, why not let us wave the Federal Constitution?” he said as all of the Youth wing committee members on the stage rose in unison with copies of the constitution in their hands to loud applause from the floor.

VSS exerciseGovernment servants should get used to the idea that nobody owes them a living. If they wish to be paid for their services, they would have to work for it.
This is the case in both the private and public sectors. Comm-ercial enterprises will not tolerate anyone not prepared to contribute to the success of their operations.
Without making a profit, shareholders will have to make a tough decision either to reduce workers or close shop. Therefore, those who cannot perform will be fired.
With the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) proposal, the Government has realised that it is time it took action to address the issue of under-performing staff or those with severe disciplinary problems.

Ching's wife, Lau Bee Kiau, 40, was seated on the front passenger's seat.

If anyone who read MalaysiaToday's article on Khairy's Chronicles, this bright future young man could be the most powerful soul in Malaysia! Is it legal to make fun of our "future PM" ?
Don't sue me ah, I also no money wan! Just asking the question only.

"The Royal Malaysian Police is now split into two camps. On the one side is the Commercial Crime Division which made its move on the Chinese organised crime syndicate on the instructions of the Deputy Minister of Internal Security. On the other side is the Criminal Investigation Division that appears to be the protector of the Chinese organised crime syndicate. One wants to get rid of the Chinese organised crime syndicate and the other wants to get rid of the police officers who wish to get rid of the Chinese organised crime syndicate. And at the pinacle of this very weird pyramid is the Minister of Internal Security. Hmm.....I wonder who that is! I wonder whether the Minister of Internal Security himself is aware that he is the Minister of Internal Security. Don’t be surprised if he does not because most times he does not know whether he is coming or going."

The Interstate 35W bridge, which stretches between Minneapolis and St. Paul, was in the midst of being repaired when it broke into several huge sections.
The Homeland Security Department had received no indications Wednesday night that the collapse was related to an act of terrorism, department spokesman Russ Knocke said in Washington.PETALING JAYA: Prominent blogger Jeff Ooi is set to join the DAP and contest in the general election.
The DAP is planning a “welcoming ceremony” on Tuesday to announce his crossover from blogosphere to party politics. Top party leaders as well as some of Ooi’s blogger friends will attend the ceremony.
Ooi, in his 50s, is an e-business consultant but is better known for his blog which focuses on current issues with an emphasis on politics. He is also an expert of sorts on the new media.
According to sources, the party has Ooi in mind for the Puchong parliamentary seat as well as the Kinrara state seat.

PETALING JAYA (July 18, 2007): For constructing a mansion without approval and defaulting on assessement fees for 11 years, all he got was a slap on the wrist; for serving as a senator while a bankrupt, he got away scot free. But it seems that luck is running out for Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros. On Friday (July 20), he is expected to appear in a Kuala Lumpur sessions court to face 13 charges under the Companies' Act 1965.
Each charge comes with a fine of up to RM30,000 and five years jail.
Detail report from Sun2Surf : Zakaria faces 13 Charges

"To become a real millionaire, he must at least have a decent home, be dressed attractively, travel overseas and visit expensive restaurants frequently. Perhaps, he should also have a vacation home. Besides car, there is as well a small yacht. If he still has to constantly worry about insufficient money to lead his remaining life, then he is but a poor millionaire!"SINGAPORE ~ High living Standard, Low Quality of Life ?!?
But if someone takes the SGD1 million to a place where the standard of living is relatively lower, then he can really lead a millionaire's life. He can buy a mansion with only SGD200,000 and have maids serving him, and spend the rest of his SGD800,000 over the next 20 to 30 years. Then he can proudly claim to be a millionaire.
Alternatively, he can look for a comfortable home in the countryside or village, where there is mountain, water and sufficient food. He also doesn't have to worry about inadequate pension. He is a millionaire who can really enjoy himself!
At the end of the day, how many millionaires are there actually in Singapore? It seems that no one has the actual answer.
I would rather not have USD1 million, but can live really like a millionaire!******************************************************
BUKIT MERTAJAM (July 17, 2007): If you think a police station is a secure place, think again. A RM963,000 Porsche 911 Targa 4 - which was stolen yesterday from the Naza showroom in Juru's Autocity at about 1.50pm but was recovered half an hour later - went missing again that night right under the police's nose. .....
Here are some useful tips for all car owners.
Auto Theft Prevention Tips
- Take Your Keys. One out of every five vehicles stolen had the keys in it.
- Lock Your Car. Almost half of all vehicles stolen were left unlocked.
- Don't Hide a Second Set of Keys in Your Car. Extra keys can easily be found if a thief takes time to look.
- Park in Well-Lighted Areas.
- Park in Attended Lots. Auto thieves do not like witnesses and prefer unattended parking lots.
- Only give ignition/door key to parking attendant. If your trunk and glove box use the same key as the door, have one of them changed. Don't give the attendant easy access to your glove box and trunk. Upon returning, check the tires, spare and battery to insure they are the same as those you had when you parked.
- Don't leave your car running unattended. Vehicles are commonly stolen at convenience stores, gas stations, ATM's, etc. Many vehicles are also stolen on cold mornings when the owner leaves the vehicle running to warm up.
- Completely Close Car Windows When Parking. Don't make it any easier for the thief to enter your vehicle.
- Hide Your Valuables. Don't make your car a more desirable target for thieves by leaving valuables in plain sight.
- DO NOT leave the car overnight in the Police Station. It is not the safest place at all

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is an Islamic State but protects the rights of ethnic minorities, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said Tuesday (July 17th). "Islam is the official religion, and we are an Islamic state," he said. "We have always been driven by our adherence to the fundamentals of Islam."
Ronnie Liu has share some of his opinion in his blog, Color-Blind :
"Having Islam as the official religion does not make Malaysia an Islamic state.
A government driven by Islamic fundamentals also would not make it an Islamic state. What more in Malaysia, we were not driven by Islamic fundamentals as claimed by the deputy prime minister. How could he call Malaysia an Islamic state when we still have licensed casino like the Genting, lotteries like Magnum, Toto, 3+1D and Bigsweeps?Siapa betul dan Siapa B.S. ?!?
And how about draconian laws that clearly go against the tenets of Islam like ISA (detention without trial) and OSA?
Does Najib know that in an Islamic state, you cannot have Sultan or King as the supreme leader of the land has to be an ulamak ( religious guru)? "***********************************************************
This list is a common knowledge to a lot of Malaysians,

" A friend of mine told me her dream was to buy a brand new Porsche. Bridget had worked out she could afford it if she added the loan to her mortgage and paid it off over 25 years. Being financially savvy she knew the real cost of the car but said it was something she just wanted to do in her lifetime so the expense would be worth it. When I found out she had not yet driven one we arranged a test drive. We had only been driving five minutes when I asked her if the car 'did it for her? Was it worth it?' She replied, 'I don't know, I think I might sooner have six months skiing in Aspen.'
We discussed how she would feel returning to the workplace in order to pay for it. She told me she would not have a problem owning a better car than the General Manager but she would find it difficult going back to the boring job she had. To her that car was a metaphor for the excitement that she otherwise lacked in her life. Buying it would have provided the biggest adrenalin rush, after that it would have been down hill all the way. What she really wanted to do was break out and test her self-belief. Fortunately she realised in time that a car repayment plan was not the answer. "
