The Evidence (Amendment) (No.2) Act 2012 - is this the government's plan to make us shut the fuck up?
Traditionally a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty but the Evidence Act 2012 reverses this. In other words, you are responsible for anything posted on your website and the burden is on you to prove your innocence, not on the prosecution to prove your guilt.
According to Nazri, the law was tightened because “we don’t want people to slander or threaten others,”. What the fuck? What did the government do when the opposition leader's and supporters had to face problems associated with illegal protestors, hidden cameras, abduction, false accusations, etc? Busy sucking your thumbs eh?
And looking at everything that is taking place around us, you people think this new act is gonna be used for the benefit of the Malaysian people? Come on, everybody knows, it's the government's way of squeezing our balls.
Free country? Democratic nation? Human rights prevail? Kiss my ass!

Women vs Men
Anyone who rejects that women are smarter than men need only look at
the recent statistics for students enrolled in the graduate schools of
business, law, medicine, and dentistry. Women now outnumber men in those
graduate schools and will soon hold the majority in those lofty
careers. Does this make women smarter? I don’t see how anyone can deny
this. They came from way behind fifty years ago, and are currently
leaving men in their dust, proving that all they ever needed was an
equal opportunity.
Women endure physical pain in a manner men could never consider. Think childbirth. And single mothers are raising half of the children in America by themselves, while holding down full-time careers. Are women tougher than men? Clearly they are. There are few jobs any longer that require brute strength alone, and even physically challenging careers in firefighting and police work are being handled capably by women.
But women’s greatest power is in their enormous emotional strength that they call upon when necessary. They can capably provide the love and emotional care their children need, and support their husbands’ needs simultaneously. They aren’t afraid of their emotions, and, unlike men, don’t hide from them out of fear or ignorance. They know how to deal with their feelings as they arise. Men who think women are weak because they cry more easily than they do are delusional. Women cry to release their pent-up emotions, instead of holding them in and blowing up. Men have yet to learn this simple lesson.
What does all of this mean to men? It means that its way past late for men to respond to the deafening wake-up call and become fully embodied men. That means becoming men who are confident in their manhood and can express, feel, and control their emotions. It means men who don’t feel threatened by women, and mistreat them because of their own inadequacies. It means that men are now the ones behind the eight-ball, and sadly, many still haven’t figured that out. Men are being left behind in so many arenas that they are becoming angry instead of resourceful, which makes no sense whatsoever.
Men used to wield all of the power in relationships and were responsible for the day-to-day, general well-being of the women they were in relationships with. That was a burden that men didn’t handle very well, and that women decided to assume. Women have beaten a path towards success and independence that is faster than any social change I can recall. They accomplished all of this with a minimal amount of fuss and noise.
How could women have achieved this if they weren’t smarter, tougher, and more emotionally centered, and what are the lessons men can learn from women? Men who fail to answer the wake-up will be left holding the bag of discontent and loneliness. Women are clever enough to realize that waiting for men to come around is going to take too long. Many now view men in the same way men used to see them, as necessary sexual partners with little else to offer.
Men should feel threatened, at least enough to change their dysfunctional behavior. Fathers who don’t spend time with their children damage them because they deny their children the most important aspect of fatherhood, emotional support. Fathers who cheat their children by withholding child-support because they don’t like the notion of supporting their ex-wives too, have to be plenty stupid, or in serious denial, to believe that baloney. Men can’t choose whether or not to be fathers. If you have a child, you’re a father, end of story.
While women have been working hard together in small groups to find their places in the world, men have been sitting on the sidelines, wearing their crown. Now they are watching helplessly as they’re being left in the dust. Men should be angry, but not with their female bosses who kick their asses or their female co-workers who complete more projects or their wives who earn more then them. Men should be angry at their own emotional laziness. Men who continue on the same path will wake up one day to find that not only are women in charge, but that their services are no longer required (remember, we have modern tools to replace the need for men!).

Check List for Malaysian Politicians.
The Malaysian 13th General Election is just around the corner and the next Parliament session starts in June. There
are numerous issues that I'd like to see raised in Parliament and
to get answers from. So, dear politicians if you want my vote, you better take note of these:
--> I want better education system. I want the grading/marking system to be reliable. I want the crappy syllabus to be checked. I want all students with good SPM results to be offered a place in local U- free. Do away with STPM. I want better quality teachers, not SPM second graders.
--> I want better health facility. I want better service by medical officers, I want clean and hygienic hospital. I want good medicines in government clinic/hospitals. I want it to be made compulsory for all cabinet ministers only to attend government clinic/hospitals.
--> I want all city councils do their goddamn job. I want every road, every sungai, every longkang and every waste disposal area to be clean and hygienic. I want representatives of each area to be responsible for its cleanliness.
--> I want foreign workers intake to be controlled. I want more job opportunities for Malaysians with better pay, not a lousy RM800 per month.
--> I want all government tenders to be made open tenders with no special favours for those with bumiputera status or their relationship with politicians. I want all new government projects to be made known to public and public opinion taken into serious consideration before implementing it.
--> I want the people of Malaysia be given the right to assemble wherever they want to, whenever they want to.
--> I want the people of Malaysia be given the right to practice a religion of their choice and that includes a right to change their faith and beliefs as they wish.
--> I want our justice system to stop kissing the government's ass. I want the government to stop squeezing the judge's balls.
--> I want the police to do their goddamn job -serve and protect the people. I want the police to stop being the government's watchdog.
--> I want any politicians and government servants who are facing corruption charges to be suspended until the investigation is over.
--> I want all politicians to publicly declare their asset.
--> I want the Prime Minister to go to France and face the charges imposed on him by the French prosecutors. Prove yourself innocent if you are.
--> I want all media to be free of any political influence.
...now that's not too much to ask for, was it?
