Biased mah, these The Malaysian Insider and My Sin Chew
KNOW why I don't list the blogs or local portals which I follow? The answer is obvious. Many of the blogs are not worth reading. And many of the portals are biased. Two of the most obvious ones are The Malaysian Insider and My Sin Chew.
Enough said.

Uruguay can be 2010 World Cup champions
Which team can be 2010 World Cup champions. Football results, just like in horse racing, can be very unpredictable. To make money when you have bets, even small ones among friends, you need to go against the crowd.
So even if my brain says otherwise, I have this sneaky feeling that Uruguay could be crowned world champions come Sunday July 11, 2010.
The reason? The Uruguayans, even without top striker Luis Suarez, can topple the Netherlands in the first semifinal tonight (2.30am Wednesday, Malaysian time).
If the Uruguayans make the final, they will have Suarez to lead the attack again. The Ajax captain will be fresh and eager to score and make amends for his infamous hand-ball against Ghana by inspiring the South Americans to win their first World Cup.
Uruguay have a bright chance of winning the cup if they can get past the Dutch because they can beat whoever they meet in the final, which could be Spain.
The Uruguayans too have the most experienced coach among the semifinalists in Oscar Tabarez. He can plot the downfall of either Spain or Germany especially as the Spaniards or Germans will be mentally drained by their semifinal encounter.
Uruguay winning the World Cup would also confirm some Chinese feng shui masters' prediction this year that teams wearing blue have the best luck in football competitions.
Remember Chelsea, Inter Milan and even Barcelona?

Cakap Tak Serupa Bikin
I have stopped reading most of the Malaysian blogs! Why? Because there are so many dumb ones. One famous blogger is even worse. Dia cakap tak serupa bikin. I have lost my respect for him.

Chauvinists and stupid DAP politicians
IT never amazes me to realise how stupid and ungrateful some of the DAP leaders are. Basking in the euphoria of winning five states (now four) in the 12th General Election, some of these leaders have exposed their true racist and chavinist character.
If I have my way I would love to grab hold of them and physically carry them to the high seas and throw them overboard. Another way is to ship them over to Singapore, where they can freely practise their policies and politics with the full endorsement of the PAP politicians.
Many of the DAP politicians and followers (some from the MCA and Gerakan too) are very fond of condemning the New Economic Policy or the performance of the Malaysian civil service, where Malays make the majority of the workforce.
No thorough research has been done on the implementation and achievements of the New Economic Policy but one fact that cannot be denied was that the policy helped make the Chinese richer and had enabled them to lead a far more comfortable life than the Bumiputeras, the Malays and the Indians.
Of course for some of these stupid, ungrateful, arrogant and kiasu Chinese businessmen and politicians and ftheir ollowers, the money is never enough and they will not stop striving until they can see their race control every economic activity in Malaysia.
Didn't the Chinse realise that many of their forefathers, who came to Malaysia to earn a living and avoid a life of starvation in mainland China, survived and started their new life by having to tumpang at the Malay kampungs, first by becoming sundry shop owners and suppliers of goods mainly until they, through fair means or foul, became richer than the humble Malays.
They then often offered to buy over the land owned by the Malays and if some of the Malays were to resist, some of the Chinese resorted to they to rearing pigs. As Malays cannot bear the stench of the pig farms nearby, they slowly began selling their land and started to move out of the kampungs.
That was how many of the Chinese settlements and townships in Malaysia started and expanded.
In the 50s and 60s the Chinse also started the padi kunca system, where the poor Malays subsisted by borrowing money or getting into debts with many of the well-off shopkeepers. The system saw the Malays mortgaging their future padi or farm produce in order to get the cash in advance or buy household goods on credit from the Chinese shops.
When the Malays had harvested their farms, as the majority of the paddy land in those days did not enjoy double planting yet, they often found themselves without much cash to spare and had to start borrowing money or buy goods on credit again and the padi kunca system went on and on.
Until a brilliant and wise leader like the late Tun Razak saw the urgent need to uplift the living standard of the Malays by expanding the nation's economic cake, thus the introduction of the New Economic Policy in 1974.
If the DAP politicians love to condemn the civil servants, they should remember that it was the Malay civil servants, many of whom coming from the middle and lowly ranks, who had patronised Chinese shops and businesses when the Malaysian economic was beginning to grow in the late 50s and early 60s.
But business was mainly done on credit, as these 'gomen people' were often short of cash.
Of course the smart and oftentimes ruthless Chinese shopkeepers would charge these civil servants higher prices for taking the goods on hutang (credit).
I still remember a time in the 60s when two of my late uncles, who were working in the district Land Office, used to be regular customers of a Chinese sundry shop owner at one of the Government barracks near Bakar Kapur in Sungai Petani, Kedah.
When one of my uncles bought a terrace house in Bakar Arang, 10 kilometres away, and had to move there, I overheard the auntie telling the uncle that they should still buy goods on credit from their regular sundry shop, despite the distance from their new house, because the Chinese owner needed the business and he would go bankrupt when all his civil servant customers were to move away or retire.
Of course the business given by these Malay civil servants had enabled these sundry shop owners to survive, prosper and later were able to buy rubber plantations and open up factories, besides sending their sons and daughters overseas for further education.
Of course some of these sons and daughters are now well-off professionals who support the opposition parties, especially the DAP.
They have also conveniently forgot their roots and are instead rooting for English to be made the official language in Malaysia.
Of course these second or third generation Chinese professionals and businessmen have no qualms in persuading their overseas-educated children to stay put in Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, England or Singapore because they claim there is no democracy or freedom in Malaysia.
It never occurred to these brilliant Chinese that they could have contributed to a quicker economic growth of the country if there was no such blatant brain drain or they were sincere in helping their 'tanah tumpah darah'.
Instead they are fond of condemning UMNO and keep on saying the Chinese, due to the New Economic Policy, are economically oppressed in Malaysia.
Their mantra is "we cannot make money in Malaysia and and the politics stinks'.
A DAP leader, Ronnie Liu, is just the kind of polician Malaysia does not deserve or need.
Through his high-handed and arrogant ways, Liu has helped to corrupt some of the Malay youths in Shah Alam and the Malay UiTM students staying and studying in the city by making it so much easier for them to buy and drink beer and end up drunkards. That way, many of the Malays will soon become the ideal "Melayu mabuk."
Seriously, these DAP racists and chauvinists will not stop until they see the majority of the Malay youths becoming kaki botol (drunkards) and drug addicts,.
Or when most Malays go to work only as taxi drivers or personal drivers to Chinese towkays or security guards.
Or when more poor Malays turn to gambling to change their economic status by becoming regular patrons of the empat nombor ekor outlets because that is the only dream they have of becoming rich.
And these Chinese chauvinists will not be satisfied until many more Malays suffer or indulge in social ills and more Malay families become dysfunctional.
Which will lead to many naive Malay girls and women (who lack religious knowledge and training because their parents can only afford to stay in cramped flats or apartments and are too busy working for lowly pay to take good care of the children and hemmed by economic hardships arising from some ruthless, discriminatory business and employment practices of the Chinese-owned companies, end up as prostitutes, massage parlour workers, call-girls or worse, by becoming the live-in girl-friends or mistreses (some of them are wives of cash-strapped Malay men) of the non-Muslim professionals and businessmen, to make ends meet.
This pathetic state of affairs is getting to be out of hand now that many of the Malay girls and women have born children out of wedlock.
And who can these Malay 'common wives' and mistresses turn to for help if and when they have problems with their 'haram' husbands and children?
Well, of course they turn to the people from the so-called women's rights groups, their NGO sympathisers, the Bar Council lawyers and the Sisters in Islam, who want to 'democratise', 'liberalise' and 'modernise' Islam's teachings.
So all these bad things are happening to the Malays but the Chinese racists and chauvinists want more. They want to see the Malays, from being the masters of the land, end up as mere labourers, slaves and worse, as sex slaves in their own land.
Seriously, I wonder why the Malays can take all these economic and sexual exploitation and insults to their dignity, lying down.
Hang Jebat (whom some stupid Chinese scholars and even more stupid Malays believe was really a Chinese), would even wonder why some of the current Malays had not gone amok in view of the grave injustice and cruelties suffered by their race.
The DAP might have won their seats in the last election due to the support of some Malay voters, who chose the party because they were angry with some of the behavior of the UMNO politicians and the cronism practised by some UMNO leaders.
But one thing I and my kampung mates, who are from the pre-Merdeka generation, will strive to do in the next general election is pool all our resources and go all out to expose how stupid, racist, arrogant and samseng some of these DAP leaders are.
God willing, we will strive to make sure no sane and intelligent Malay voter would ever vote DAP again. So for these chauvinist and racist politicians, be prepared to be voted out of power.

stupid DAP politicians
Hi, been too busy punting and making money, so I could not find the time to handicap and list the possible winners for the past few meetings.
Been busy following the political happenings. I will try not to touch on politics in this blog but then I am moved to say that Malaysia can do with smarter politicians. What the country doesn't need now are some very stupid politicians, especially that two from the DAP.
Anyway, happy punting. I will try to post some likely winners and lively outsiders for the races in Penang and Singapore on Sunday, 5th July, 2009.
