Why did the chicken cross the road?

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MCCAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because it recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing the road together, in peace.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% .......... reboot.

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE:
Chicken shall not shit while crossing the road. This is for a green environment.

Umno suspends Ahmad three years

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno has suspended Bukit Bendera division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail three years over his alleged racist remarks about the Chinese.

The decision was reached at a special meeting of the Umno supreme council held at the PWTC Wednesday afternoon. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi chaired the meeting that lasted almost three hours.

As a result of the suspension, Ahmad will be stripped of all party posts and voting rights. He will remain an ordinary member however.

Abdullah told a press conference after the meeting that the Cabinet at its meeting Wednesday also discussed racial relations in the country.

“The Cabinet feels that racial tension may arise if sensitive issues are raised. The Cabinet has ordered ministries with laws pertaining to this to enforce them.

“If it is necessary, the ISA may be used on those who stoke racial tension,” he added.

Abdullah also told Barisan Nasional component parties to be firm and take disciplinary action on their members, who also made statements that stoked racial sentiments.

The meeting was held after Barisan component parties said they wanted “immediate and stern action” to be taken against Ahmad during a meeting of the coalition’s supreme council on Tuesday afternoon.

However, because it involved a party matter, they left it to Umno to act.

After stopping 10 busloads of his supporters on their way to the Putra World Trade Centre where the supreme council meeting was held, Ahmad said he would not retract his statements, but urged his supporters and all Malays to remain calm.

At a press conference, he said he accepted Umno supreme council's decision to suspend him, but added he would "make a comeback."

He accused Gerakan acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon of “raising temperatures” on the issue of race relations.

Dr Koh was one of the many leaders who had asked Ahmad to apologise to the Chinese community.

He also denied that he had torn down a picture of Dr Koh at a press conference on Monday.

The Prime Minister had said on Tuesday that the issue had caused uneasiness, worry and anger among the people.

“Some (component parties) expressed their disappointment over what transpired while some showed anger.

“All of us are of the view that Ahmad’s comments are not acceptable at all. What he said has caused anger and concern among the people, non-bumiputras and bumiputras alike, not just in the peninsula but also in Sabah and Sarawak,” Abdullah told reporters on Tuesday.

Ahmad stirred a hornet’s nest recently when he said in a speech while campaigning for the Permatang Pauh by-election that the Chinese were immigrants in the country and did not deserve equal treatment.

Despite criticisms from various community leaders, he refused to apologise.

Political weapon

Malaysia is well known for it's multi racial integrity and all of us are very proud of it but in today's malaysian politics multi racial community is weapon that being used.I am really disgusted with some of the leaders who is continously using racism to gather their support.Let them be the government or the opposition breaking people's unity just for their own benefit is just too much.We as the citizen of malaysia should reject this leaders. Anyone and everyone can try to break unity among us but if we give way to them then definitly other countries will also take advantage of this situation to invade us.Besides that all this instability also pays a big price in our economy where the investers are thinking twice to invest in malaysia.I think we should start building the integrity among us rather than support the leaders who is using it for their own benefit.We must learn to reject them....

TUN'S VIEW

He said Umno and Barisan Nasional supporters were left with only one option, that is to vote for the opposition to show their displeasure at the party leadership.

And if the opposition wins, that would destroy the country, argued Mahathir. “People deserve the government they get. If they get a bad government it is because they are unwilling to fight against it, unwilling to take any risk,” he said.

Mahathir lamented that BN was in doldrums as demonstrated by the coalition’s lackluster campaign during the Permatang Pauh by-election.

He also said coalition partners MCA, MIC and Gerakan were in disarray after senior party leaders left to join PKR.

"Abdullah has already destroyed Umno, MCA, Gerakan, MIC and the BN. Gerakan is talking about leaving the BN. MCA is more muted but its leaders who used to support Abdullah come what may, have deserted him.

“Really, Barisan is in a sorry state. Not one leader has any guts. I hate to say it but the Permatang Pauh victory by PKR probably sounded the death knell of all the BN parties and the BN.

“This is the doing of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi,” he said.

“History will record the failure of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his minions. And the founders of the parties and future politicians will curse the leadership of BN through and through,” he added.

Its not our war.

I think all of us are vey familiar with the latest news regarding the 10% quota entrance to non-bumiputera that have been suggested by the Selangor MB.The students of that varsity took this matter to the streets and also the Umno minister and the high council members of umno. Lets think about what is actually happening, from the way i see both parties are trying to get their political mileage.As a malaysian non-bumi i feel this is not our war.This is the war between the umno led goverment and the PKR leaders.We should just stay out and wait for the result.I am personally not in favour of both parties...why? This is why few years back this is the government which actually OPENED 10% of MRSM to the non-bumi's and what is the problem now its just the same drill why cant the Umno people cant accept it now? Is it just because the opposition leader said so???? Selangor MB on the other hand just making popular statements to earn that extra mileage.Like my good friend Mr.Kamalanathan have told why should we be the rats between two elephants....i definitly agree...its the bumiputera's war let them solve it we will just wait and see the outcome.Before ending this i would like to say something to mr.karepu who commented in my previous article we are not the umno's slave and we are not going to be umno's slave.

Visit to Immigration office in Subang Jaya.

On monday i went to the immigration office in subang to apply for a passport for my mom. As usual i went bought the form followed by photocopy the ic and taking a picture.After all this have been done we have to take a number to wait for our turn.Hmmm there suppose to be 6 counters that taking in all the new application but there was only one available.As i waited two more counters started to operate.The officers actually take less then 3 minutes for every applicants but they take more than 10-15 minutes before they could call for a new one.They work damn slow and on top of that they can have their fun time chit chatting to one another,walking away from their counter go to the other and talk about the food she had for lunch(i heard that)that was really pissing me off.After a long wait my number appeared i brought my mom to the counter and she took my moms old passport and then she started to talk with her the lady next to her and she told me sorry my computer cannot deal with the old passport my computer is just for the new ones.So i asked then why dont u label the counter saying for new passport and for the old one.She kept quiet for a while and then she said no problem the counter next to mine will be able to do it i said fine went to next counter.The lady in the next counter said can u wait for another two numbers to pass by and then i will call u.We waited then again we were called and this time the process went smoothly .I thanked god for that and told my myself at last im going to get out of the place but no that didnt happen i was told to wait to pay in another counter and another long wait.This is worse they suppose to have two counters but end up having one and the officer in charge was not there.Damn my head like going to blow up anytime.After sometime i lost it i just went to counter and said is there anyone who actually work here the lady in counter got shocked and replied how can i help you then i told i got sick and tired of waiting and there is no efficiency.S he said some of the staff were absent that and craps and more craps. It took me one whole day to get a passport done.This problem does not only happen in immigration office but also in every government office.The officers take things for granted and do not deliver their service to people.Whose fault is this goverments or the officers,the PSD who took this officers to work or is it us or is it our culture to work this way???????????????

MIC MUZARAKAH/MUKABALAH DENGAN Hindraf

All the malaysian are now very familiar with the word muzarakah or mukabalah because this issue have highlighted in all the major newspaper past three weeks.I saw in news paper to day that Dato Sri Samy Vellu is also going to do the same thing with Hindraf.I believe it is very much needed in the current situation where unity among the indians need to be very strong.Dato's decision will be able to change the thought of some people that MIC is not willing to listen.Its very healthy to sit and talk with Hindraf leaders and assist them in anyway that MIC can.Hindaf movement have helped the opposition party to win the election but have malaysian indians got any benefit from the oppositon? The new incentives that have been given to indians lately by the government is because of my MIC.The opposition have played with our sentiments n emotions to tear us apart.Lets look at it in a very clear picture without the sentiments who was involved as majority in HINDRAF and who was giving all the support(all the "pokings")to the indians?Look at all the photos n video whose flag was there or boards were there. Its purely the dirty politics that the oppositions have been playing because they just dont care.So let us think for ourselves n decide...... I personally think its a good start meeting the Hindraf leader and discuss material that can uplift our community rather then condemning each other. Bravo to our leaders n let a new spark being instilled in our community.........................
