Good news....

After weeks on the receiving end of all those depressing news, finally there are some good news coming in......


First good news, the NST's Jalur Gemilang on Middle Rocks. Finally, a group of patriotic Malaysians finally landed on the Middle Rocks ( aka Batu Batu Tengah, batuan Tengah, or whatever ) to hoist the Malaysia Flag. The heroic deed was led by the Secretary of the National Security Council, Datuk Muhammad Hatta Abdul Aziz. This is the first time the Jalur Gemilang has been raised there. Hmmm... for their braveries and sacrifices, maybe we should bestow some titles and awards to member of the team.


Second Good news, The Star's Vehicle owners get their rebates. The government that care and that are forever sensitive to the needs of its citizens handed out RM 600+ per vehicle to offset the rising fuel prices suffered by the mtorists. Thousands of motorists lined up as early as 7:00am on Saturday ( 15/06/2008) at the post offices to get their hard earned cash back. A total of 683 post offices were involved. On the first day of pay-out, more than 239,414 vehicle owners received RM116.734 million. In total 1.6 million vehicle owners are expected to recived estimated RM 800 million annually. Why involved such massive logistics and asked these poor Malaysians to lined up in the long queue to get their money back ? In the first place, wouldn't it be more efficient and caring to just post the cheques to their last known registered address ?

Say NO to Subsidies, and YES, YES, YES to rebates....... whatever it is, RM600 can buy me many weekends of Bak-Kut-Teh – the haram and sinfully delicious pork stewed in herbs....


Madu di tangan kiri mu, racun di tangan kanan mu, yang manakah akan kau beri pada ku ? So, anymore good news to make my day ?
