王子 学 外语 之 Sikit Jadi Bukit

Sikit sikit tekun, lama lama jadi bukit

Peribahasa Melayu

maksud : sabar mengerjakan sesuatu lama-lama berhasil juga.

applikasi : konsistent menabung duit sejak kecil, besar nanti beli cincin belian, contoh : USD50,000 sebulan x 12 bulan/tahun x 40 tahun = USD 24 juta.

contoh :

Rosmah Mansor, isteri Menteri Perdana Malaysia Najib Razak, dilaporkan telah membeli sebentuk cincin  belian 30.11 karat bernilai USD24.5juta daripada Jacob & Co. dari New York.  

Rosmah menjelaskan bahawa dia mula menabung RM0.05 dari kecil.  Amalan menabung ini sewajibnya menjadi contoh rakyat 1Malaysia.

Namum, Rosmah kemudiannya menafikan pembelian cincin belian tersebut.  Penafian ini disokong oleh pihak Jacob & Co. pada 2013

五月五 换政府

2008全国大选，国阵以140席侥幸获胜。若非沙巴及砂拉越稳胜49席，只怕国阵必定败选。

民联安华哥摆明阵局要在9月16 日大变天。企图透过沙巴及砂拉越两州49议员跳槽夺取国会多数议席，以此改朝换代。

国阵伯拉哥听到炮声，吓了一裤子尿。赶紧带了全国国阵议员到台湾公干，以免安华哥钓蛙。

毕竟安华哥太张扬了，给伯拉哥走快两步。安华哥的炮声是打得响，可惜没打中目标。916没变天。

其实，国阵之首的巫统只占了140席之69席，实在是独党难鸣。若国阵其他党员被他而去，巫统一定不能当家。说实在，马华和国大党在国阵也没权没势，其代表的族群也被边沿化，甚至被欺骗、侮辱、欺压。在公，是没有理由留下的了。在私，除了为了私利，还有什么理由？

沙巴及砂拉越的国阵议员为何留下？加入马来西亚55年，沙巴及砂拉越还是全国最穷的州属。虽然资源丰富、地灵人杰，沙砂两州还是没有分到发展这杯羹。令人费解的是沙砂人民还是那么支持国阵。盲目跟从、满足现状？若是百姓满足了，为何怨声四起？若是百姓盲从，为了什么出卖尊严？若是发展了，为何无水无电无路无业？议员们都也盲了？还是口袋满了？难道还为宗教？民族？环保？还是钱？权？色？还是义气？一口气？还是畏强势？怕恶势力？还是怕穷？怕入狱？

退一步想一想，若沙砂两州半数议员跟安华哥塔上了，恐怕国阵已难当家。这个道理，区区一个小王子都想到，何况各位大哥大姐，何况各位议员。就算不跳槽，单以49之尊，可左右政权也！King maker嘞！应该可以为百姓讨些好处了吧？！49个议员，难道都没有一个义士？

2008去了。222个议员的面目都看清了吧？

2013．等着瞧吧！五月五，换政府。

王子 学 外语 之 Help ！

“You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.”

English idiom

You do a favor for me and I'll do a favor for you.; If you do something for me that I cannot do for myself, I will do something for you that you cannot do for yourself.

“You help me, I help you.”

Najib Razak, 2010 May 15^th

The Prime Minister of Malaysia, ( leader of the ruling collation BN ) Najib Razak during his visit to Rejang Park, a Chinese majority housing estate in Sibu, Sarawak, campaigning for SUPP’s Robert Lau during Sibu parliamentary by-election.  Najib promised the voters RM5 million to alleviate floods if Robert Lau win the seat.

The by-election was won by DAP’s Richard Wong by a simple majority of 398 votes.

Najib’s vote-buying promises were deem morally inappropriate for some, yet anyone sensible would know its a broad daylight bribery.  The Malaysian Parliament claimed that  Najib did not violating Election Offences Act.   In 2009, the Federal Court made a decision that promises to bring development during election campaign are not an act of bribery.

Till today, many parts of Sibu remain flood-prone, in addition to tones of other perennial problems.

Income Tax

Its time to file for income tax, again.

• Individual relief = RM9,000.

• Which means, RM750/month, or RM25/day for all expenses, including food,  accommodation, transportation, household expenses, utilities, clothing, entertainment etc.. How can anyone living in a city survive with RM750/month, with the ever-rising living cost ?

• Rebate for books = RM1,000. Anyone spending that kind of money for books ?

• Rebate for broadband subscription = RM500. mana cukup ?

• Rebate for house installment = RM10,000. Why only for property bought between 10^th March 2009 till 31 December 2010 ?

• Minimum taxable income ( for a singleton ) = RM2,450 net

• if we calculate it backward, Minimum taxable income ( RM2,450 ) = [ Annual Income ( RM17,856 ) – Individual rebate( RM9,000 ) – EPF ( RM6,000 ) ] -  Tax relief ( RM400 ). 

• Thus, an average singleton earns more than RM1,488/month are taxable.  Unless he/she is entitled to a lot more of rebates and reliefs.

• In 2010, there are 5.5 million registered individual taxpayers in Malaysia ( NST, Tax refunds in 30 days, 24 Mar 2012 ), out of 11,129,400 employed labour force ( Department of Statistics, Principal Statistic of the Labour Force, 1982-2011 ).

• Which means, of 11,129,400 employed labour, almost half of them are not paying tax, either they earn less than RM1,488/month, or simply don’t pay.   

• Per capita income of average Malaysian = USD9,656 ( @ RM28,968  º RM2,414/month )  ( World Bank, 1990-2010 )

• Average Malaysian’s income are taxable, why only half of the workforce pay tax?

  

• IRB collected RM15,574.59 million in 2009 from individual taxpayers. (  IRB Annual Report, 2009 )

• IRB’s Annual Report dare not to publish the number of taxpayers, why?  How many taxpayers contributed to the tax revenue ?

Penang Mural Trail

Murals on the streets of Georgetown is the workmanship of Ernest Zacharevic, a young Lithuania-born artist. The mural project, known as Mirrors George Town, is part of George Town Festival 2012.

The murals were never given names.  They were eventually named by avid fans. 

There are 9 murals, all painted on walls of historic building within the Georgetown’s World Heritage Site.  Though not too distantly apart, it is still very tiring walking around looking for the murals under the hot tropical sun.  Still, driving around in a car is not encouraged, as most of the roads are one-way traffic and parking lots are extremely scarce.  The best way is either riding a bicycle or motorcycle.

Gender Segregation...

Apparently a Local Council Act by-laws stipulates that woman is prohibited from cutting the hair of a man, and vice versa, regardless of the religion.  The rule is also observed at supermarket and hypermarkets check-out counters.  Kelantan state local government committee chairman Datuk Takyuddin Hassan said the state was serious about the policy.

Gender segregation is among the controversial regulations imposed by religiously zealous Local Government.  Earlier, Kuala Selangor District Council had all cinema operator within its jurisdiction to adhere a gender segregation ruling for unmarried Muslim couples.

Some over-jealous law makers from ruling party, Datuk Noraini Ahmad, even dreaming of a gender segregated hospital !

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/11/23/parliament/12358705&sec=parliament

Gender segregation is definitely a form of sexual discrimination, a violation of human rights, even if the supporters claiming it is necessary to maintain decency, sacredness, female safety , bla bla bla.

I do agree that it is logical to have separate toilets, showers, changing rooms, sauna, etc.

Yes, we can have separate commuter coaches, female driven taxies, female police/immigration officers performing body search on females, female gynecologist attending female patients….

But can we force everyone to wear hijab / burqa / jilbab /  tudung ?

Do we need separate hospitals, schools or stadium ?

Do we need gender separation in swimming pools, gyms, libraries, cinemas, parks, hotels, beaches ?

Do we need to have separate cashier counters ? toll booths ? ticket counters ? hotel receptions ? customer services ? waiters/waitresses ?

How about secretaries ? personal assistants ? body guards ?

Bus ? car ? motorcycle ?

Can the extreme gender segregation prevent incest, rape, sodomy,  adultery, pre/extra-marital relationship, child marriage, sexual harassment, polygamy, domestic violence, prostitution ?

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

Matthew 5:27-28
