A Mamak Hoguan Siou ?

Hantu Laut

This will probably rile up the Kadazan to vote against PKR. In their over zealousness to condescend they have broken the tribal convention, only the Kadazan peoples can appoint their HOGUAN SIOU. 

This square peg can't fit in the round hole.

First and foremost he is not a Kadazan and not a drop of the DNA in his blood, nor the praxis, and not a Sabahan. He can't even qualify on the "one drop rule" because he ain't got any.

The late Tun Fuad Stephens before converting to Islam was accepted by the Kadazan community as their Hoguan Siou based on the "one drop rule", his father was half Kadazan and half British and mother half Japanese and half British and was born and bred in Sabah.

How, a Malay of Mamak descent could possibly be a Hoguan Siou?

WILL YEAR OF THE SNAKE BITE?

As Indiana Jones might say: Why did it have to be the Year of the Snake?

When the Chinese-speaking world ushers in its new year on Sunday, its 12-year zodiac will turn from the dragon to one of the world's most despised animals. As undeserved as the snake's reputation might be, its last two years did not go so well: 2001 was the year of the Sept. 11 attacks and 1989 was when Chinese forces crushed pro-democracy protests around Beijing's Tiananmen Square.

Some wonder if this one also could hold bad tidings. "In Chinese mythology, snakes were often associated with monsters, or with incarnations of monsters, so some political turbulence can be expected," said Taiwanese astrologer Tsai Shang-chi.

Chinese New Year remains the most important festival in the region, a weeklong round of family reunions, temple visits and gastronomic excess. It is Mardi Gras, Christmas and the Fourth of July rolled into one, marked by the clacking of mahjong tiles and explosions of firecrackers. With businesses and markets hermetically closed, it brings a rare calm to the otherwise frenetic pace of what is arguably the world's most dynamic economic region.

In China, some couples have apparently been trying to schedule their pregnancies to avoid having children born during the snake year, in contrast to the coveted Year of the Dragon.

In Beijing, a manager with the government office that arranges appointments with obstetricians said there was a noticeable drop in appointment requests compared to those received as the Year of the Dragon approached, though she offered no firm statistics. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak to the press.

For souvenir makers, snakes have been a tough sell.

"Last year, our business was a lot better, because everybody loves the dragon, whatever his or her animal sign," said Lin Peixiang, who owns the Beixiang Souvenir Factory in the city of Wenzhou. "This year, business is a lot worse, because only those born in the year of the snake love the animal. The snake sign is a symbol of fear. People get scared when they see or hear the snake."

But if many fear the snake, some astrologers and masters of feng shui, the Chinese art of arranging objects and choosing dates to improve luck, also see good signs for 2013.

Hong Kong feng shui master Raymond Lo is trying to put a positive spin on the year. He points out that according to astrological tables, this year's variety is the relatively mild "morning dew" type of common water snake, less venomous than recent predecessors.

"It's more moderate, humble and patient," Lo said of the 2013 snake. He added that he is bullish on the year's prospects for the world as a whole, and sees good opportunities for economic growth.

Still, Lo said, people should probably take precautions against the snake's traditionally destructive power, perhaps by wearing monkey pendants around their necks. That goes double for anyone born in a year of the snake, he said, like incoming Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Xi's 1953 birth coincided with the final convulsions of the Korean War.

"The monkey is the only animal that really knows how to handle the snake," Lo said.

Tsai is also largely upbeat on the new Chinese year. He believes much-needed liquidity will be injected into struggling world economies, and that babies born over the next 12 months will be both self-motivated and agile.

On the downside, he warned, there could also be massive flooding and tsunamis.

The New Year's season is implacably festive, and people have been out in force in cities across the region in recent days, stocking up on provisions and traditional new year symbols.READ MORE,

Shaming The Shameless Doesn't Work Here

Anti-Sabahans and Sarawakians Facebook


Don't lose sleep over it. It's a political ploy, probably, set up by a Sabahan or Sarawakian working in tendam with local political party to rile up Sabahans and Sarawakians to vote against Malayan based parties.

If I have a choice I would prefer local party, but we live in unfortunate times, there is no credible one around. Those around are led by leaders, beyond any doubt, as crooked and as dangerous as the slithering snake. 

The last one we had screwed up the state good and proper selling states assets like no tomorrow. The assets stripping went through the entire spectrum from sponge iron plant, methanol, pulp and paper mill to 5 star hotel and many more, not forgetting vast stretch of agricultural land. 

This most unfortunate episode in Sabah history had deprived ordinary Sabahans of land ownership, the initiative of former Chief Minister Harris Salleh, who had the dream and ambition of giving land to every rural Sabahan. It went out the window when PBS took over the administration.

They threw out a capable man for someone who could hardly run a junkyard, hence the assets stripping, as the business was too complicated for them to understand and manage.

Will Sabahans make the same mistake again, ruled by the heart, not the head and let history repeat itself.

In the old days one can drive from Kota Kinablu to Tawau, on terribly bad roads, but still enjoy endless stretch of Mother Nature, virgin jungles on both sides of the road that exude innate and everlasting freshness of unsullied forests. 

Today, the whole stretch from Telupid to Tawau are sullied with oil palm and 70% of the land are owned by Peninsula based companies. Some of the lands were still under NT titles, leased for 99 years from the owners, a felony legislated by the then PBS government, which were later repelled by the BN government and limited to a maximum of 30 years.

Not that I am against progress, but there must be a balance between Mother Nature and economic development.

There is nothing wrong in giving land to foreign companies for economic development if it is done properly and with maximum benefit going to the state, not to politicians, who got it dirt cheap through corrupt means and sold them for quick profit.

Today, these same leaders who have sold NCR lands to outsiders are stirring up trouble on the NCR land issue, again to serve their own selfish agenda.

See who is joining Anwar's PKR, the same corrupt leaders, some of whom had been through USNO, Berjaya, PBS and UMNO and now seeking new pasture under Pakatan Rakyat. These leaders do not know how to make money other than through politics.

How could Anwar claims his fight is against a corrupt regime when he goes round collecting the same garbage that have, either been discarded, or found that their tickets to ride the gravy train of the current regime had expired.

The same "dogs of war" who suddenly found the high moral ground as if they have not been patrons, sponsors and recipients of corruptions in their previous undertakings. They forgot that the rakyat knew of their past. Fitful memory had given them selective amnesia.

Pecuniary reward had become so anabolic to them, the vicious circle will continue its round.

Adios!

Mr Anwar Ibrahim And Mr Arsonist

Hantu Laut


This man wants to torch the Lynas plant to suit the Pakatan Rakyat agenda. A would be arsonist.

Did Anwar Ibrahim condemn him? If he has, I must have missed it.

Malaysia has the most disgusting political oppositions on the face of this planet having multitude of standards to suit their political agenda, including breaking the law of the country, trashing the Constitution and pseudo moral and liberal platitudes to cheat the people. 

They wag the dog to hide the bigger picture of their incompatibility, which is slowly rising out of their receptacle of lies, they perjure the truth and fabricate hellish lies against leaders of the government.

When Ibrahim Ali threatened to burn the Malay language Bible, which I have always look upon as his political grandstanding and eventually proven to be true, they wanted his blood, his head, his dick and possibly his balls, but when this man openly threatened to burn down the Lynas plant, a huge foreign investment that could trigger off world wide repercussion on the country's foreign investment,  they make no condemnation of him, instead, cajoling him to carry out his anti-Lynas campaign. Read more here.

He says he supports Pakatan Rakyat because Anwar Ibrahim had promised to close down the plant if Pakatan takes over Putrajaya.

Like Anwar he is another bullshitter, full of tripe. 

Many Malaysians fall prey to this kind of cheap talk as they are too gullible to comprehend the nitty-gritty world of business and commerce and understanding the law.

Anwar makes it sounds so easy to shut down such huge foreign investment without the government having to pay billion of ringgits in compensation. Does he care if the country gets a huge bill for compensation, rated an investment hazard and given a wide berth by foreign investors. 

No man is an island and this country can't stand alone in this borderless world. 

Like pack of hungry wolves the next decade will see countries in this region jockeying to ride the economic wave for survival against China's political and economic manipulations in the region. In the next decade, China will play a dominant role in the region and the environs.

Anwar, if elected into office, will be the straw that finally broke the camel's back. With all the promises he made to the people this country can belly up in no time. 

He promises 20% oil royalty to Sabah and other oil producing states, abolish road tolls, increase fuel and other subsidies, provide free education up to tertiary level and God knows what other multitude of promises that will eventually bankrupt this country and impoverish the people. 

Where is he going to get the money to finance the huge budget  and series of legal suits and compensations against the government should he proceeds with his threat of abolishing road tolls and shutting down Lynas and other foreign investments deemed dirty?

Is he going to nationalise without compensation?

His populist policy, which many level headed Malaysians knew is hard to implement is stringing the carrot to hoodwink Malaysians for their votes. 

A former finance minister who likes to blow his whistle of his past achievements that were non existence, a man who almost sold out the country to IMF and the World Bank, which have been known to enslave poorer nations with costly debts. Indebtedness some countries found hard to service due to stringent conditions and high costs of funding imposed on countries considered high sovereign risk.

This debt trap have made poorer countries even poorer because they have to allocate enormous portions of their national incomes toward paying interest. This sick logic of capitalism contrive the flow of money from poor nations to rich nations in the West. 

How is Anwar going to finance all his promises that will give birth to a huge national budget, which I expect to ballon to one and a half times the current budget?

Can the man that many Malaysians wanted so much to lead this country because of overt sympathy for him, his wife, his daughter and his family be trusted to administer the nation. All were elected riding on the wave of sympathy.

Taken in by false pretenses and false promises, can Malaysians see the possible pitfall the country is threatened with when the coffers are empty and foreign investors scurrying away like rats from a sinking ship? 

Anwar, by then will be in is usual antics, instead of finding solutions, will find excuses blaming the previous administration for all his woes.

If Anwar were to tell those pathetic Malaysians, who believe what they hear, what they read, what they can't see without apprehension, that tomorrow the sun will not rise because of realignment of the planets, they would believe his lie, as he has the ability to metachrosis to suit the situation and the surrounding.
