主,求袮俯听。
今天从早上开始,到了晚上,雨都没有停过。
有人欢喜有人愁!
有人欢喜,因为天气凉爽,可以睡大觉
有人愁,因为工作及生计受影响,出入也不方便。还有三天就是新年了,大家都在担忧,会不会是个湿新年呢?在这个时候(季节),不应该还有这么多雨水的。
有人提心吊胆,因为太多的雨,会引起水患。就说今天吧,柔佛州的丁能补选,因为下雨,一些地区淹水,选民不能出来投票,可能会影响补选的结果。投票的结果本来可以在今晚八时揭晓,但因洪水切断一些公路,票箱不能送到计算中心,延迟了选举成绩的宣布。
柔佛州一些地区已经在今天遭受洪水泛滥,加上连日雨下个不停,当地的居民担心大洪水泛滥再次重演!
近年来地球好多地区都受到天灾之祸,如巴基斯坦,欧洲,巴西及澳洲的大洪水,真是百年一见。
到底是什么原因呢?是天灾,还是人祸?
我在【方向】季刊第73期(2010年8月份),写了一段短文,在此和大家分享:
天主,袮在流泪吗?
他们说,天主的脾气变了,近来很多地方都受到水灾蹂躏。巴西,中国,法国,豪雨倾盆,洪水淹没了好大片的土地。性命,财产, 农田损失严重。天主,这是你的泪吗?
袮为什么流泪?
当年你创造了穹苍,天地及万物,袮是多么的高兴.“ 天主看了祂造的一切,认为样样都很好...” (创1:31)
袮造了地球,她是你的胸怀。袮让人类住在你的胸怀里,享受袮的爱,领受袮呼出的生气,袮要人类过得幸福快乐。
但人类的贪婪,不只不珍惜袮的爱,还贪得无厌的要从袮的胸怀里,掏出袮的心肝。袮不只流泪,还流血呢!
墨西哥湾泄漏出来的,是袮的血呢!
“天主于是依照自己的肖像造了人,就是照天主的肖像造了人:造了一男一女。天主祝福他们说:你们要生育繁殖,充满大地,治理大地,管理海中的鱼,天空的鸟,各种在地上爬行的生物!”(创1:27)
天主,求袮不要重复诺亚诅咒,但引领人类及早临崖勒马,好好珍惜自然,她是袮赐给人类的遗产。袮要人类善用及管理,千秋万代,都能得享袮的神妙化工。
天主,我们唯有爱护自然,保护自然,保护资源,才能够擦乾袮的眼泪。
天主,请你看在我们投入环境保护工作的诚意及努力上,虽然成绩微不足道,我们仰望袮的慈悲扶助我们,引导我们走向正道。
主,求袮俯听。

Saturday morning 星期六早上
Life at random.
This morning, my wife wanted to get some big fresh prawns for Chinese New Year, so we went to Tesco Hypermarket around 9:00 am. Hopefully early bird gets the worm.
Asam prawns (Tamarind prawns) is my wife's specialty and a dish on-demand by our children for the New Year.
After getting what we wanted, we went to Kajang wet market to get some vegetarian items. We decided to have Fried Kuay Tiao for breakfast.
We went to a stall in the bazaar for the authentic Kajang Fried Kuey Tiao.
I noticed fellow Malaysian Indians like Fried Kuey Tiao too. Out of 8 customers then, 5 were Indians.
生活随性。
今天早上,太太要买一些新鲜大虾在新年时用,所以在九点的时候,就去了Tesco。所谓『早起鸟儿有虫吃』,希望可以趁早可以选到所要的虾。
『阿三虾』是太太的拿手菜肴,是孩子指定新年要享用的一道菜。
买到了所要,我们就到菜市场购买一些斋菜。过后我们到一间食档享用道地加影风味的炒粿条作为早餐。
我察觉到印度人同胞们,也非常喜欢吃炒粿条。当时的八位顾客中,五位就是印度人!

New Year is here soon 新年要到了
The pace of life is getting faster... people are in more hurry .... markets are getting busier and noisier...
Restaurants are doing brisk business ... companies are holding their year end lunch or dinner.
Chinese New Year is just a week away. Bags are packed, all ready to "balik kampong" (home coming).
Mother Mary, pray for all travelers and families safe and pleasant journey home. Happy New Year and Happy Reunion for all!
I am all ready for the New Year!
生活步伐好像加快了。。。人们都好像很匆忙的。。。市场更忙乱,哗音也越大了。。。
餐馆的生意好极了,公司都在主办岁末午餐或晚餐。
农历新年只有一个星期就到了。 行李也准备好了,游子们要上路回家乡了。。。Balik Kampong (回乡)热潮开始了!
祈求圣母玛利亚为所有的游子及家庭祈求,祝福大家旅途平安愉快。新年快乐及团圆美满!
我也准备好过新年了!

My new camera 我的新相机
After the demise of my Nikkon camera, I called my friend Lim Chee Keong of Bentong, Pahang.
"Lao Da (big brother), what's up?"
"My camera condemned!....." I told him the story.
"Ngggggg..it may cost a couple of hundreds to repair.... get a new one lah!"
"Ok, you kao tim (settle) for me...." He is my trusted guy for all things camera ...including pricing.
" I will courier the camera to you soon".
A few days later, I received my camera - Canon Ixus 130 (black).
Lim Chee Keong opens a photo shop/studio in Bentong, providing photography and related services, including outdoor photography assignments. Himself a professional photographer, he regularly taking part in overseas and local photography adventures and participated in many exhibition and promotion projects.
He showcases many of his photographs, especially his two adorable daughters' photos in Facebook and blog.
喉塞找喉通,缺钱找阿窿。。。这是马来西亚常见的景象。
你可以在大街小巷,路灯及交通灯柱,路牌等,贴满了招贴,显眼的电话号码,随时等候你的来电。
当你的家里水喉,自来水管入水或排水阻塞的时候,你可以找『喉通』服务公司。当你需要钱还债,周转的时候,可以找财务接待(高利贷,我们这里称为『大耳窿』)。
但假如相机坏了,找谁呢?当然是找林志强啦!
我的Nikon相机掉落地报销后,我联络上了在文冬的林志强。
“老大,什么事?”
“我的相机落地坏了。。。。”我把情形告诉了他。
“要修理应该需要好几百块,买个新的吧!”
“好的,就由你给我搞定吧!” 这是我对他的绝对信任。
“我把它快递下去给你吧!”。
几天后,我就收到了寄来的 Canon Ixus 130 照相机了 (黑色)。
林志强住在彭亨州的文冬,开了一间摄影社,提供各种冲洗照片服务,户外摄影服务及售卖相机器材等。本身也是一名摄影发烧友,参加摄影旅行及照片展,特别是在文冬,推广摄影爱好活动。
他常常在自己的部落格及面子书分享他的照片,特别是他两个女儿成长的照片。

congratulations 挚诚恭贺
Congratulations and syabas (brovo) to Royal Malaysian Navy commandos!
Malaysian naval commandos have rescued 23 crew and captured seven Somali pirates following a firefight to free a hijacked oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden.
The commandos were called in after the Malaysian tanker MT Bunga Laurel, sent out a distress call late Thursday after pirates armed with AK-47 assault rifles boarded and took control of the ship.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib praised the swift action by the navy.
挚诚的恭贺马来西亚皇家海军特攻队勇敢的拯救行动成功。
马来西亚海军特攻队,在亚丁湾,与骑劫油船的索马里亚海盗,经过一轮海空激战之后,成功的拯救了23位船员,并擒下了七名海盗。
特攻部队是在接到了马来西亚油船『桂花号』的求救讯号之后,马上采取行动。
首相纳吉赞扬海军的这次快捷成功的行动。

Foreign workers 外國勞工
Malaysians are getting lazier, depending more on foreign labours. We simply cannot survive without foreign workers!
Officially there are about 2 million foreign workers in Malaysia. It is widely believed that there are a million more illegals joining the workforce.
The contribution of foreign workers are from Indonesia ( 50.9%), Bangladesh (17.4%), Nepal (9%), Myanmar (7.8%), India (6.3%) and the rest from Vietnam.
They are distributed mainly in manufacturing sector (39%), construction (19%), plantation (14%), housemaids (12%) and service sector.
Indonesia has recently hit Malaysia's vulnerable point by freezing the export of housemaids to Malaysia demanding higher pay and better working condition. Malaysian households depend heavily on Indonesian maids.
Being the biggest supplier of foreign workforce, Malaysia has to kow tow to Indonesia in many other affairs.
Lately I noticed foreign workers have taken over hawker food stalls and car washing! (mostly are illegals)
And we are getting lazier .... no longer washing our car and motorcycle ... due to the availability of cheaper workforce.
馬來西亞人越來越懶惰了。假如沒有外国劳工(外劳),我们的生活可痛苦了!
官方的正式數字,馬來西亞有大約二百萬名外勞。一般普遍的相信,還有另一百萬名非法的外勞在我們的勞工市場中。
我國外勞的主要來源是印尼(50.9%),孟加拉(17.4%),尼泊爾(9%),緬甸(7.8%),印度(6.3%)及其他的來自越南。
這些勞力主要分佈在製造業(39%),建築業(19%),種植業(14%),家庭佣人(12%)及服务业等。
最近印尼冻结出口女佣到马来西亚来。这是对我国的一个致命绝招,因为大部分马来西亚的家庭都得依靠印尼的女佣。
印尼是马来西亚的最大劳力输出国,所以马来西亚在很多其他事务上,都得忍气吞声。
我最近发觉到,外劳也已经攻占了小贩食物档及洗车中心!(大部分都是非法的外劳)
我们越来越懒惰了!
While Bangladeshi workers washing cars, Indonesian workers are busy building houses and shops across the road (arrow)
这厢孟加拉外劳忙着洗车,隔一条马路之遥的印尼劳工正忙着筑造屋子及店屋。

Heavenly justice天网恢恢
I read a political commentary recently. Not so much be attracted by its content but by the ending paragraph.
The opening paragraph:
"Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has rejected the invitation by Anwar Ibrahim for a debate on the so-called 100-day reforms, and this decision indeed comes as no surprise to anyone."
one of the paragraphs:
"In Malaysia, race, religion and monarch are the three handiest tools when one is pressed against the wall."
The ending paragraph:
"Justice has long arms, and heavenly justice has even longer arms. Najib, and all other politicians who claim to believe in God, must remember even a powerful man like Saddam Hussein had to recite Quranic verses when he was being hanged. They must therefore not be deluded that they would go unpunished in the afterlife for whatever evil deed that they are currently plotting."
To my opinion, the Commentator has resigned to the fact that politicians are the ugliest lot, beyond persuasion and moral condemnation. Hopefully, the invocation of the name of God may frighten them.....
In Malaysia, the name of God has been has been called and heard every hour, every day, every corner of the land...so what do you think ?!?!
最近读了一篇时事评论。不是它的内容吸引了我,而是结尾确实是一个吸引人的地方。
文章的开首是:
『首相纳吉已经拒绝了安华的邀请,与他辩论所谓的『百天新政』,而这个决定早已经是预料中的事。 』
文中另一段:
『在马来西亚,当一个人受围困时,种族,宗教及君主之名是最方便的脱困工具。』
文章结束:
『法网难逃,但更是天网恢恢。纳吉及其他的政治人物,都是声称相信上苍的人,一定要记住,像沙旦胡申这么有权力的人,在被上吊之前,都要诵读可兰经的经文。他们不要自己骗自己,以为他们现在阴谋着要做的坏事,人不知,鬼不觉,不会受到任何处罚。』
据我的看法,这位时事评述员也知道,马来西亚的政客,已经是到了百毒不侵的境界。劝说及道德良心的谴责,对他们已经是毫无作用,所以希望呼唤上苍之名,能够会有些警醒的作用。。。
在马来西亚,上苍(天主)之名的呼唤,每一天,每一刻,每个角落,都被引用,都可以听得到。。。你认为如何?

RM 100.00 一百零吉
Reaching home in the evening, “reported” to my wife that I have spent RM100.00 today.
"what did you buy?"
"fruits..." I placed plastic bags full of fruit on the table for her to inspect.
"why so expensive?" she noted the fruits cost less that RM100.00.
" I bought other things too..."
Haha...I bought 8 pots of new year flowers! They cost RM60.00. I love new year flowers....and I am in "new year mood"!
Looking at the picture, my wife likes fruits more.... but she is the flower of my heart!!!
傍晚回到家时,向太太“报告”我今天用了一百零吉。
“买了什么?”
“ 水果。。。” 我把买回来的几包水果放在桌上。
“这么贵?” 太太知道这些水果不需一百零吉。
“我还买了年花...!” 迎春花,万紫千红。。。。
哗啦啦。。。我喜欢年花,总共花了六十元,买了八盆年花。。。我有了过新年的心情了!
从照片看来,太太比较喜欢水果。。。但她是我心之花!
These flowers costing RM 5.00 per pot except the center one costing RM25.00. The blooms last for more than a month. (Price in Kajang is cheaper than in Sg Buloh)
这些新年应景年花,每盆售马币五元,除了中间的大盆售马币二十五元。这些花可以耐上一个至一个半月。(加影的价钱比双溪蒲糯更便宜)

But I am lucky too 我的幸运时刻
But I am lucky too!
After loosing my camera, I was at Sunway Toll about 4:31 pm. The counter flow traffic system at Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) supposed to commence at 4:30 pm.
However, it was very difficult to sycronise (time check) with LDP authority. Many occasions my watch showed 4:32 pm or well after that but the system was not in operation. I was forced to take the normal road which saw me got stuck in the notorious Puchong Road crawl.
Today I was lucky, the car in front of me was flagged to go straight joining the normal way because the barriers were not fully removed.
Then at the exact second... the exit was clear and I was there to be the first one to use the special counter flow lane, escorted by the highway outrider!
You see, I have my lucky moment too!
我也有幸运的时候。
心痛相机损害后,我继续的上路回家。大约在四点三十一分的时候,我抵达了双威的收费站。白沙罗-普种大道的对流交通系统是在四点三十分实行的。
不过,很难和大道当局的时间调配。好多次,当我抵达时,已经是四点三十二分或更迟些,但对流系统还没有操作。那时就被逼用回平常的路线,挤在车龙里。
我看见前面的车被指示依照平时的路线直行,应为对流的出口障碍还没有完全清除。但当我抵达的时候,出口已经完全的开放,我被交通管理员指示使用对流道,还有一位大道工人人员骑士,在我前面引路,实在是幸运极了!

Another accident 又一次意外
Another accident!
I accidentally dropped my camera of more than 4 years. It was the first time that I dropped this Nikon camera and the last time.....
I was at Sungai Buloh this evening looking at the beautiful new year flowers and plants. I brought along the camera to take pictures. As I was about to enter my car, the camera slipped from my hand and dropped onto the road. The lens did not retract and all functions ceased. The camera expired!
It was my carelessness ... I did not strap it to my wrist.
Goodbye to my companion which has been with me to many places for the past 4 years : China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Australia, New Zealand ... with my wife to Japan, Vancouver and Alaska ........ not to mention many local destinations....
It will be remembered in my blog and Facebook ...through all the pictures taken.
又是意外。
我不小心的把我那用了近四年的相机掉落在马路上!这是我第一次让我这Nikon 相机掉落,也是最后一次。
今天傍晚放工的路上,我到双溪普糯路边的园艺店观赏摆出来的年花及各种应景花草。我特地到带了相机去拍些照片,因为实在是太美丽了。在离开时,即将上车的时候,相机从我的手中掉落,中击在马路上。它的镜头不能够手收缩回去,所以对功能也不能操作。。这相机圆寂了!
这绝对是自己的疏忽,因为我没有把安全带系在我的手腕上。
再见了,这个陪伴了我走过很多地方的相机:中国,台湾,香港,澳门,澳洲,纽西兰,也随我动太太去过日本,温哥华及阿拉斯加等地方。。。更不用说好多本地的目的地。
我会在部落格及面子书里,透过它所拍摄的照片,留念它!

road accident 交通意外
This was the result of an accident on 11-1-11!
It was 5:30 pm. I was driving along Subang Airport road on the way home. Traffic was heavy and slow moving.
My car was stationary when suddenly I heard a "thud" sound ... something has hit the back of my car. I looked at the real view mirror, not the car behind me because it was quite a safe distant behind. What was that?
I came out of the car to inspect. I saw a motorcycle and a rider lied on the road at the rear left of my car.
I was frozen for a split second. This was the familiar sight on Malaysian roads - motorcyclist lying dead by the side of the motorcycle!
Many Malaysian motorcyclists are like the Japanese kamikaze pilots. They are as if constantly on a death mission - not to kill enemies, but themselves.
Thanks to the Japanese manufactured light, cheap and fast motor cycles called cubs, they charge ahead at high speed, swerving right and left, beating traffic lights, disregard the safety of themselves and other road users.
Motorcyclists recorded the highest fatalities in road accidents in 2009. Of the 6745 road fatalities, 4070 were motorcyclists; of the 8849 cases of serious injuries, 5758 were motorcyclist and pillion riders. (Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research)
To my relief, I saw the cyclist sitting up slowly... I assisted him to stand up. He seemed to be alright with helmet tightly on, no bleeding and was able to walk. A Malay man came to assist me to push the motorcycle to the kerb.
It seemed he was wriggling among cars, in quite a speed...suddenly, his handle bars clipped the side mirror of a car behind me on another lane, he lost balance, flew and banged on my car...with quite a force that broke my rear bumper.
Making sure the motorcyclist did not require any further assistance, I drove off after taken down his particulars.
上端的照片,是11-1-11 一场意外的结果。
已经是傍晚五点半了,我驾车回家路上,途径梳邦机场路,交通塞挤,行驶缓慢。我的车已经是停止了,突然我听到一声响,好像我的车被撞。我看了看望后镜,不是后面的车撞我,因为和我的车有个安全距离。我下车去查看。当我走到车后方的时候,见到一辆摩多单车和一位骑士倒在我车的左后边。
我的心突然冷了半截。这不就是在马来西亚公路常可以看到的一个景象- 没有生命迹象的骑士,倒躺在他的摩多单车旁!
很多马来西亚的电单车骑士,他们好像日本二战时的『神风敢死队』的飞机师。他们永远都好像是在执行战争使命般的冲冲冲,不是去消灭敌人,而是消灭自己!
应该多谢日本人制造了更小巧,便宜及快速的小型摩多单车,称为 cubs (急仔),骑士可以快速往前冲,左拐右弯,在车龙中,前冲后撞,进出自如。他们罔顾交通灯,交通规则,别人的安全及自己的安全。
摩多单车骑士在2009年,创造了最高的公路死亡率。在6745宗交通死亡人数中,单车骑士的死亡人数就4070人;8849宗公路意外严重受伤人数里,骑士及后座者就占了5758人。(马来西亚公路研究学院资料)
很快的我也回过神来,看到那位骑士慢慢的坐起来,我就往前去扶他起来。看来他没有受伤,没有流血,头盔还好好的戴着(这可能给他保护)。一位马来人兄弟前来帮忙,把他的单车推到旁边。
根据其他人士,这骑士是很飞快,在车龙中拐来拐去,不幸的他的把手撞上了在我后面另一车道一辆车的旁镜子,失去平衡,飞撞到我的车后方,力度非常的大,因为我的后面防撞板。
我记载了他的个人资料后,也肯定的他没受伤,不需扶助,就驾车离开了。

It seemed he was wriggling among cars, in quite a speed...suddenly, his handle bars clipped the side mirror of a car behind me on another lane, he lost balance, flew and banged on my car...with quite a force that broke my rear bumper.
Making sure the motorcyclist did not require any further assistance, I drove off after taken down his particulars.
上端的照片,是11-1-11 一场意外的结果。
已经是傍晚五点半了,我驾车回家路上,途径梳邦机场路,交通塞挤,行驶缓慢。我的车已经是停止了,突然我听到一声响,好像我的车被撞。我看了看望后镜,不是后面的车撞我,因为和我的车有个安全距离。我下车去查看。当我走到车后方的时候,见到一辆摩多单车和一位骑士倒在我车的左后边。
我的心突然冷了半截。这不就是在马来西亚公路常可以看到的一个景象- 没有生命迹象的骑士,倒躺在他的摩多单车旁!
很多马来西亚的电单车骑士,他们好像日本二战时的『神风敢死队』的飞机师。他们永远都好像是在执行战争使命般的冲冲冲,不是去消灭敌人,而是消灭自己!
应该多谢日本人制造了更小巧,便宜及快速的小型摩多单车,称为 cubs (急仔),骑士可以快速往前冲,左拐右弯,在车龙中,前冲后撞,进出自如。他们罔顾交通灯,交通规则,别人的安全及自己的安全。
摩多单车骑士在2009年,创造了最高的公路死亡率。在6745宗交通死亡人数中,单车骑士的死亡人数就4070人;8849宗公路意外严重受伤人数里,骑士及后座者就占了5758人。(马来西亚公路研究学院资料)
很快的我也回过神来,看到那位骑士慢慢的坐起来,我就往前去扶他起来。看来他没有受伤,没有流血,头盔还好好的戴着(这可能给他保护)。一位马来人兄弟前来帮忙,把他的单车推到旁边。
根据其他人士,这骑士是很飞快,在车龙中拐来拐去,不幸的他的把手撞上了在我后面另一车道一辆车的旁镜子,失去平衡,飞撞到我的车后方,力度非常的大,因为我的后面防撞板。
我记载了他的个人资料后,也肯定的他没受伤,不需扶助,就驾车离开了。

乱
最近好像有点心乱乱。。不是意乱情迷的乱,也不是神经错乱的乱,可能是太多假期庆祝,吃得太多,生活有点钟乱 - 生理时钟错乱!
但又好像不是那种乱。假如是这种钟乱,早睡一些,多睡一些就好了,但为什么还是觉得乱?
打从圣诞节开始,就感觉到乱了。
十二月三十一日,新年的除夕,政府宣布公共假期,因为马来西亚国家足球打败了宿敌印尼,赢得了东南亚铃木杯。真是可笑。。。不是讥笑的可笑,是真的可以笑,因为马来西亚的国家足球队,包括马来西亚的足球水准,早就被人们忘记了。。因为太多的政治,权术及利益的牵涉,掉进了地狱。现在突然翻身,而且又是打败常常欺负马来西亚的印尼国家队,真的是吐气扬眉,好久没笑过了。。。哈哈哈,首相纳吉为了讨好人民,特别是公务员,乱乱宣布公假。。。足球假期害死很多商业及老板,损失惨重。。
不怪的那天起,更清楚的感觉到乱。
到了新学年要开始,报上读到砂劳越州的教育部,最后一个星期通知老师的调动。他们必须在一个星期之内,收拾行李,和家人说拜拜,到远地新的学校任教。教师总会的主席说:“教育部要有人性些。。” 这是没有人性,违反情理的官员所作的“乱乱调”。
柔佛州的华小更惨,他们面对缩班的问题。柔佛州教育局局长说,教育部有指令要缩班,然后多出来的教师外调。但副教育部长魏家祥却说没有此事(指令)。到底是谁在说真话,或者谁在说假话?总之就是乱打官腔,乱乱说话。本来已经面对好多问题的华小,包括课室不够,师资短缺的问题,真的是雪上加霜。。更乱!
接下来,赵明福坠楼案,验尸听宣判他的死,不是自杀,也不是他杀,是件“悬案”,也就是说,审了一年多,传召了好多证人,包括国外著名的法医,最后的结果是,不知他是怎样死的!那赵明福是被反贪局传召问话,在扣留期间,突然间坠楼而死,没有人须负责任。。。公道何在?真是乱乱来了事!
人民的眼睛是雪亮的。。。所以朝野人士,要求成立一个皇家委员会来继续调查。。。我也要求还赵明福公道,赵明福不能白白死。。。。哎哟,卫道之士,马华总会长蔡细历说你们不要乱乱来,要有道德,不要借用一个死人来捞政治资本。。。。妈呀,不是翁诗杰说的咩?真是乱乱乱。。。
我的心也被这些“乱事”搞得"捞捞乱“(广东话)。
接下来我所属的雪兰莪州,中央政府派了一位被反对党所组成的州政府不能接受的州秘书,闹得很不愉快。中央政府还拿出皇室牌来,获得苏丹御准,压的州政府遍体鳞伤。
法律专家说我们这里是君主立宪,苏丹没有实权委任;苏丹及中央政府却说州政府没权拒绝。。。到底谁是谁非,可惨了人民,因为人民才是老板,但现在每个人都说我是老板。。。而且人民不可多说,再多说就是叛逆。。。。这是什么时代?我都被搞乱了。。
今天的新闻看了更乱。内政部长宣布马来西亚皇家警察成功的把罪案率降低,效率出奇的佳。街头罪案本来的目标是降低20%,现在竟然达到35% ,真的是不可思议 unbelievable 的有效,这是首相领导有方!
但是,我还是出外的时候,要小心怕怕,妇女出外更加更加要小心更加怕怕。更多的住宅区雇请私人保安,路障越来越多。。。我还是怕怕。。。更多人别抢,掠夺,更多的盗贼。问一问任何一位朋友,亲戚,他们不是本身有被抢或掠夺的经验,就是自己的亲人,朋友有被抢或掠夺。就在两天前,前国家中央银行副行长就在报纸上说,我们这里真的不安全。。。因为他的办公室及附加的好多办公室,都被爆窃了。。。。乱象,乱象。。。还是乱讲,乱讲。。。总之我就是乱了!
还有一件大乱事。马来西亚新闻,资讯及文化部长几天前公告世界:我没有强奸我的女佣人!奇怪,又没有警察抓他,又没有人控告他,既然没有强奸佣人,为什么要“酱”讲呢?我压根儿摸不着头脑!是不是我们华人智慧之语:假如你埋了银子三百两,就千万不要大声喊 “此地无银三百两”!
这就是乱喊!
华人即将庆祝春节,那些发春节财的商人又是老调重弹,百唱不厌,灵丹旧曲:今年中国蕉柑歉收,价钱上涨30% 。。。。。这是王八蛋博乱,心甘柑,没心肝!
唉!你说我怎么不会乱呢!
