Can we just remember the nice side of Michael Jackson?

Even as the world mourned the death of the King Of Pop, the media, and maybe most of the general public, are still very interested to the "exact details of MJ's death"..

I have to say when I first saw the news over the internet, I didn't feel much of a loss of this King Of Pop... I just thought, in a matter-of-fact manner, that "we all have to come to this day"..

But when the radio stations around the country started paying tributes to him, especially the Hitz FM, who for the whole day played his songs, only then that I realized that how much this King of Pop had touched and mesmerized us with his songs and when his techniques on the dance floor..I started feeling the sense of loss that others are already feeling..

But, whenever I looked at his pictures, whether is on the newspaper or internet, I can't help but feel that, he himself may have caused the early demise for himself.. I would hope that he can be a case study for everyone, that we should be proud of our own identity, and not obsessed with the short-term outlook.

So while all the media's attention focus on his cause of death, with headlines like "Exact details of Jackson death remain unclear", I will like everyone to just listen to his songs, and appreciate how he had influenced us, and our world, in his own way...



- While this isn't the most impressive of his video, none of his trademark "moonwalk", but this song had actually created awareness to a young boy about protecting our environment-

Please don’t sweep these under the mat

In the recently concluded Penanti by-election, there are so many allegations against PKR by the independent candidate, Aminah Abdullah. While I feel that all these allegations may be her attempt to win over voters from voting for PKR, those allegations must thoroughly investigated! If it eventually found that PKR is guilty, then take them to the court. If is found that this Aminah was making baseless allegations, then she also must be taken to task for doing it.

Just that the election is over doesn’t mean what is said and done can be ignored! Everyone must be responsible for their actions, and I hope the people at the MACC is keeping up the investigations, and give the public a conclusion on the investigations.

Being Corteous just isn't the Malaysians way- generally

I think Rapid KL should put this in the bus!

I've been commuting the Light-Rail Transit and bus to work for the past few weeks, and I noticed something that I never would have notice while commuting as a tourist previously.

While queuing up to board the bus(which I'm glad people do queue), I was confused when a middle age woman (aged around 40 something to 50 something) standing in front of me in the queue, asked me to go ahead, while she continue to stand in the queue. At that time, I thought: "maybe she is waiting for someone." But that is not the case, as I was about to find out the truth, some days later.

While queuing, I overheard the conversations between the senior citizens couple. The uncle said:" cannot lar, the queue so long, I can't stand for the whole journey!" Then his wife replied:" queue 1st lar, if really no seat, wait for the next bus lar!" Finally, I know why some of these people just skip this round of the bus, because they can't bear to stand for the whole journey.

While I admired their independence and their "not using their senior citizen status to get advantage" (there is a proverb in cantonese "yi lou mai lou"), I wonder whether it's because they know people just aren't courteous enough to give away seats to them. I got to prove this point when an aunty, who boarded the bus, but found no place to sit, told her teenage companion who just sit down: "I have to go down, I can't stand for the whole journey." Oh my god! Even the companion doesn't offer her the seat?! Then what can be expected from a perfect stranger?

I'm not trying to say that I'm a saint, in fact, I'm a bit reluctant to offer my seat and stand for the one hour bus ride. But deep in my conscience, I felt the need to be just a little bit more courteous, and this is my point, "Please be a little more courteous!".. Maybe we can put the poster in the bus too!

Why we should not put a cap on the number of subjects allowed to be taken for SPM candidates?

SPM, is actually the beginning of our future path, where we finally have to make decision, and choose out career path. While we all may have childhood ambition, to become a professional like doctor, lawyer, engineer, and accountant, how do we know whether we are up for it, or do we really have the right attitude or fundamental to be successful in this line?

We don't really know, so how do we decide? By taking the extra subjects, to determine whether one is actually good in physics, or economy. While I have to admit that most of those who scored 16 A's and 21 A's did it because they want to break the record, we just can't ignore the small portion of the people where they want to know how they stand in certain subjects, and decide on their future career path!

Again, I want to stress is that, scholarship should be offered to the brightest mind in the field, and also needy! We do not need Jack of all trade, but master of none! If one is master in all trade, surely he deserved to get the scholarship, and no one will questioned about it! It's as simple as that!

So why put a cap?
