2012 and Inglorious Basterds

Inglorious Basterds

Majority of film critics really like the movie.

Well. I am not.

I don't care how good the actors are, how good the scripts are and how damn good the cinematography and what so ever.

When you make a war movie (Like based on a real war) You should make a war movie.

Inglorious Basterds is a distortion of history. A misrepresentation of fact. American-Centric war movie.

People told me it is a good war movie.

Well for me..

Saving Private Ryan is a real war movie, Valkyrie is a real war movie, Patton is a real war movie, Battle of the Bulge is a real war movie, Big Red One is a real war movie, Tora!Tora!Tora! is a real war movie, Apocalypse Now is a real war movie.

Inglorious Basterds is not.

Why not?

Because..

The one who leads a resistance in France should be French. Not American.

The jews who were resisting in France should be French Jews. Not American Jews.

The Nazi should be losing the war in the Final Battle of Berlin. Not being blown apart in some Opera house.

Over 5 points

I give the movie 2.5 points.


2012

Nostradamus was the one who predicted 2012 as a doomsday. Not the Mayans. It is people who speculate 2012 as the doomsday based on Mayan calender which end up at 2012.

I don't know what will happen if the galactic alignment do happen in coming 2012.

For me. 2012. Is a total rubbish. That's all. It is stupid and it is the biggest insult to my intelligence. Even if i watch it for fun, I still think it is stupid. Waste of time and money.

It is like reading Mastika in the 90's.

Over 5 points

I give 0.5 points. Because they depict the doomsday real good.

Obeying Procedures My Ass!!

'GEORGE TOWN: Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan has been urged to direct his men to stop interrogating witnesses outside office hours. Bukit Gelugor MP Karpal Singh said that if the interrogation was allowed, it would be in contempt of a High Court judgment. Karpal Singh was referring to the High Court landmark ruling on Thursday that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission cannot interrogate witnesses beyond office hours'.

In the latest update, the High Court had came out with a ruling on Tan Boon Hwa application of suing the MACC for interrogating him outside office hour.

The High Court in a very shocking decision held that the interrogation made by MACC outside office hour was illegal.

I mean no disrespect and no contempt towards court decision. But the court ruling is somehow ridiculous and unacceptable. Laying down a very bad precedent, i hope the MACC will appeal and some reasonable judges will quash this fucked up precedent.

I have every mean to believe the judge residing the case is politically motivated to come out with a stupid ruling like that. I think his brain is stucked sumwhere up his ass.

And now the world biggest racist Karpal "Kapal Tenggelam" Singh maintained any interrogation conducted by law enforcement agency should not be made outside office hour.

Owh, hello old man, if that so, how on earth should the police do their works in cases involving immediate nature?

Ok.

Let's say...

Your son.

Gobind Singh Deo is kidnapped by some rabid tamil criminal at 5pm..

and you witness the kidnaping, you know where the kidnapper friends live and this friend probably know where the kidnapper hide Gobind.

Then you inform the police. Well, as it is already after office hours, the police is powerless to do anything.

And then the police tell you this..

"Sorry sir, we cannot question the wittness and investigate him rite away. Because it is already outside office hour and you yourself said that we must follow procedures.."

and b4 u know it, this tamil has crossed the border and hide Gobind Singh Deo somewhere in Southern Thailand. Rendering the police to be more powerless as it is already outside their jurisdiction.

How would you feel?

This old racist further stated that..

"all witnesses who were questioned after office hours in the last three years could claim damages against the Government and the police.”

Aha.. please lah. Don't look for cheap publicity, we all know who they will go to if they wanted to sue Police and Government.

So Cheap la weyh....

And the judge who decide the case. You should exercise your discretionary power instead of adhering strictly to the law.. You should also be fair to the law enforcement agency. Yes, there are lots of bad apples in the agencies. But, you cannot deny the fact that there are more good apples among them.

Kalau Takut Dilandai Badai, Jangan Berumah Di Tepi Pantai.

Beberapa hari yang lalu aku makan supper dengan sorang member dekat asrama.

Seperti biasa, bila jumpa dengan member yang sorang ni kami memang akan berborak pasal politik. Politik secara umum, Politik Malaysia khasnya.

Dia kata kat aku, bunyinya seperti menyindir

"Dekat *I" susah nak cari orang yang sokong UMNO"

Aku diam, aku tau mungkin dia tujukan kat aku. Aku rilek je la. Sebab bukan aku sokong UMNO pun. Aku orang berorientasikan issu dan aku cuma benci PR dan aku tak sokong UMNO.

Secara mudahnya.

Aku suka politik. Tapi aku tak sokong UMNO dan benci PR secara umum dan Anwar Ibrahim cum PKR khasnya. Kenapa? Tak perlulah aku terangkan kat sini. Kang tak tido aku kang.

Kemudian member aku yang sorang ni kata,

"Aku bukan apa, aku rasa PR pun tah paper, background aku, aku telah dibasuh untuk benci UMNO"

"Jadi apa2 yang berkaitan dengan UMNO aku rasa jijik"

"UMNO tak perjuangkan Islam, diorang tentang islam"

"Oops" aku interjek kat situ.

"Aku rasa tak adil la kau kata UMNO langsung tak perjuangkan islam, Kau tengok Sekolah2 Agama, Peruntukan untuk pembangunan Islam, UMNO tak pernah halang. Malah diorang bagi sangat banyak. Diorang tubuhkan banyak badan2 yang membangunkan Islam. Kau tengok IKIM, Muzium Kesenian Islam, kau tengok Lembaga Zakat ada pada setiap negeri. Masjid dan Surau setiap 200 meter. Banyak lagi la... "

kemudian aku cakap lagi..

"Aku rasa tak adil, kalau kau cakap UMNO seolah-olah UMNO begitu berdosa dan langsung tak berjasa pada Islam. UMNO bukan tak nak perjuangkan islam, tapi diorang tersepit"

Kemudian member aku ni tanyer dkt aku

"tersepit cemaner?"

Kemudian aku tanya dia soalan...

"OK, sekarang, kau tengok saudara kita kat palestin. Diorang menderita tak?"

dia jawab

"Hurm, menderita"

Aku tanya lagi

"Wajib tak kita tolong saudara kita menderita? Berjihad fizikal untuk saudara kita yang menderita tu?"

Dia jawab lagi

"Wajib! Tapi.."

Kemudian aku cakap..

"Apersal kau tak pergi sana berperang? Apersal kau tak pergi berjihad fizikal untuk saudara kita kat sana yang terseksa?"

Kemudian dia cakap...

"Aku tak mampu... aku banyak komitmen lain...aku kena jaga mak bapak aku.. tapi.. aku derma untuk palestin, aku tunjuk moral support aku untuk diorang..."

Kemudian aku cakap..

"HAH!!! itulah dia... UMNO "TERSEPIT" macam tu, diorang pun nak syiar islam, tapi diorang tak mampu nak lancarkan. Jadi diorang secara tak langsung la bagi moral support, bagi peruntukan berupa wang ringgit untuk membangunkan islam dan lain2"

Kemudian aku cakap lagi..

"Sekolah Agama yang basuh pemikiran kau tu pun bawah kerajaan negeri. Kerajaan Negeri tu pun diperintah UMNO. Kalau kau nak kata UMNO sekat pembangunan islam lah aper lah.. aku rasa tak adil untuk UMNO. Islam menyarankan kita supaya berlaku adil.."

Lalu aku bagi dia situasi UMNO

"UMNO dalam perlembagaan cakap dia perjuangkan bangsa Melayu dan agama Islam. Roh Islam masih hidup dalam UMNO. UMNO nak perjuangkan islam secara langsung. Secara lantang. Tapi diorang tersepit. Sebab diorang faham dekat Malaysia ni ada juga penganut agama lain. Hindu, Buddha dan lain2. Jadi UMNO dia bangunkan Islam secara tak langsung. Dia terpaksa bangunkan Islam secara perlahan, secara subtle.."


Kemudian member aku cakap lagi..

"Kenapa kau suka sangat dengan Dr.Mahathir?"

Aku cakap

"Simple.Sebab jasa dia besar. Dia manusia. Ya. Kelemahan dia banyak. Ketidak baikkan dia banyak. Tapi JASA dia dengan KEHEBATAN dia menjangkaui semua itu..."

Aku cakap lagi..

"Aku sikit pun tak taksub dengan Dr.Mahathir"

Aku tak percaya sesiapa. Kalau Dr.M salah. Aku tetap cakap salah.

Analisis : PRK Bagan Pinang.

Landslide victory for BN in Bagan Pinang.

I know it's a bit late for me to review the winning... but who cares?

Everywhere around the blogs, newspapers and all other information media attributed this winning to Tan Sri Isa.

They said it is the Isa Samad factor.

I am a bit disagree with the idea.

Yes. Isa Samad is a factor for BN wins.

But only one out of many factors.

I believed there are tonnes of other factors which leads to the winning including :

1. PAS rude, arrogant and violence attitude during the campaigning period.

2. The new Makkal Shakti party.

3. The aggressive campaign done by the BN election machinery.

4. Too much lies, spins, slanders and maki hamun by PAS.


I believed the main factor is the Local Factor. Whereby the local inhabitant of Bagan Pinang was reported to be "meluat" with the attitude of PAS supporters from outside Bagan Pinang.

Malaysian Industries - Che Det.

Recently, well not recently.. it is quite for a long time now. People, are talking about the lack of Foreign Direct Investment entering Malaysia.

I am no Economist. Not even a fan of anything related to Economics. I took Economic subject during High School and I only managed to pass the subject. I did study hard during SPM for the subject but i only managed to got through the subjet. To only passed it. Not to score. Only managed to get minimum grade allowing me to get all credits for my SPM exam.

However, I will never totally disregard Economics.

For me Economies and Economics (for you information Economics is a knowledge in Economy) are an essential. It is a need for Human Life. To live a good life we need to have a good economic activities. A simple trading would become an economic activity. By trading human can simply improved their standard of life.

So. People are talking about the recent lacking of foreign direct investment towards Malaysia.

It is well-known that Malaysia cannot compete with the likes of China, Vietnam and not event Thailand and Indonesia.

Because of THEY HAVE MORE CHEAP LABOURS, MORE LAND AND MORE FACILITIES. WE DID GOOD DURING THE 70's,80's and 90's was because CHINA did not practice open market back then, they were having problem with the WEST ( they were communist and communists are hostiles towards the west ) and they were not Politically and Economically stabil back then.

AND SO DOES INDONESIA, THAILAND AND VIETNAM THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BACK THEN AND NOW THEY HAVE SIMILAR ADVANTAGES.

MORE CHEAP LABOUR , MORE LANDS AND GOOD+FRIENDLY GOVERNMENT POLICY.

Why they have more cheap labours?

( Simply because they have more population than we do. China 4 billion people, Malaysia 27 million )

Why they have more lands?

( Because, their countries are bigger than ours )

Why the have friendly government policy?

( They were in turmoil, war and whatever for so long. So, its time for them to rebuilt their nation )

We should have stop from relying upon FDI.

But we shouldnt stop from attracting investors and at the same time we must start investing outside the country. To show that we are actually doing good and we can start opening factories and marketing our product overseas.

First world countries are no longer relying on Foreign Direct Investment. Even if there are Foreign Direct Investment. It will not be opening up Factories and what not. But, the investment will in form of tourism, education ( foreign student studying in their country ) and services industries.

We are actually going towards that. Producing specialist in education (professors, lecturers etc etc) and specialist in services industries ( lawyers, graphic designer, fashion designer, medical doctor etc etc ). And we also attracting tourist. To visit our country.

That is ( and should be ) our main concerned.

We were one of the countries with most FDI's ( during 90's ) and now we should go one step ahead from relying to much on FDI's. ( Just like the First world country )

Since it is hard for us to compete with these nations.


But, TUN DR MAHATHIR with his SUPERBLY BRILLIANT MIND.. HAS COME OUT WITH AN IDEA. ON EVEN THO ITS HARD FOR US TO COMPETE FOR FDI'S. HE HAS THE RIGHT MIND AND THE RIGHT STRATEGY THAT ALLOWING MALAYSIA TO GROW ECONOMICALLY.

Well, according to him



Tun Dr. Mahathir in his blog has shared his idea on how to tackle the issue.

Well according to him ( My summary on his latest post title : Malaysian Industries ) :

Yes. We cannot compete with the likes of China, Vietnam and not even Thailand and Indonesia in FDI investment. BUT, WE CAN HELP OUR LOCAL MANUFACTURER TO BECOME WORLD PLAYER.

HOW?

The Question OFTEN asked by the Foreigners when they wanted to buy our local products is WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT THEMSELVES BUY AND USED THOSE PRODUCTS.

SO!

IF GOV. ACTUALLY DROPPED THE FOREIGN TENDER AND START TO USE OUR LOCAL PRODUCTS. THEY ( LOCAL MANUFACTURER ) WILL HAVE BETTER CHANCES IN INTERNATIONAL MARKET.

Thus,

Our local manufacturer will have more market. More markets means more customers. More customers means more money comes in. More money means more local workers can be hired. More local workers means no money will escape from Malaysia. More money in Malaysia means Richer Malaysia. Richer Malaysia means Richer Malaysian. Richer Malaysian means No compromise on products quality. No compromise on products quality means Malaysia has Good Quality Product. Malaysia has Good Quality Product means Malaysian People is Quality People.

Thanx Tun.

It's a great idea.

Support Our Local Product.

Ganaz.

Aku baca dalam HarakahDaily.net

KONONNYA.

100 pemuda barisan nasional yang bermotosikal telah menyerang markas induk DPP, membelasah petugas disitu ada juga yang telah diserang dengan Parang hingga ke rumah.

Siap ada gambar bukti lagi. Konon-konon lah.

p/s : Aku berkecuali. Tak sokong BN , tak sokong PR. Cuma pemerhati politik yang bimbang akan pergolakan yang berlaku.

Aku tak nak take sides. Aku tak percaya yang BN berkempen sampai ketahap mahu bertetak-tetak antara satu sama lain. Sama la jugak macam aku tak percaya yang Azeez, Ahli Majlis Tertinggi UMNO dipukul "9 Orang" tapi hanya lebam2 dan loya je. Takkan la dipukul "9 Orang" hanya lebam dan loya2 je yer tak?
