perak's politics

so apparently sth big big big big big just happened in perak. there were just too many frogs 'leaping' from one party to another that has caused the still current state government to collapse. the sultan has rejected application to dissolve the state assembly. so possibly, tomorrow barisan nasional (bn) will go to the sultan of perak and ask to form a new government. and hooray! Perak has a new state government, a new menteri besar after less than a year of change!

how wonderful is that, right? people always say that changes are good, they are the only thing in the world that are constant. they bring about opportunities and hopes.









thinking back again. how has this change been brought about? is it really for the good of the people in perak? i dont know and i m in no position for comment.

if it is for the good of the people. i congrats the people of perak that they have chosen representatives who truly represent them

if it is for some personal gain, i regret to say that this makes my heart ache

if they are forced to make such decisions due to circumstances that they cannot say to anyone, then i m sorry that the politics and the running of this country has to come to this state.








i dont know. maybe i m off touch with this country.










weren't promises made to the people when elections were held less than 12 months ago?


they made a choice then.







i m puzzled. then why is it that the change of government hasn't been put into the hands of the people of perak again? can we let them make a choice again? it is their state.


why does a change of government fall into the hands of a few people??

visit to kundang ulu + serom

yesterday, went to kundang ulu with my mum to visit my mum's aunt. she is already 93 years old and she is still strong enough to walk with her tongkat and all. salute sia!

anyway, so i havent been to kundang ulu for years.
it is really quite ulu. takes about 1 hour from muar
muar - tanjong agas - rawang - sg sendok - sg mati - serom - bkt gambir - grisek - kundang ulu
woohoo!!!
it was really quite kampung. i shall upload the pics later on when i transfer them from my mum's phone, cos i didnt bring my camera.

oh ya, i went to my aunt's house at serom too! haha! i grew up at that house! was there since i was an infant till i was in kindergarten. hahaha. when i get my license, i will go there again before i go to australia :)

when i was young

economy

ppl say that it is economic recession now, and that we are in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. but there are evidences that some people have been waiting and preparing for this time. it is time to get good deals and to invest in things, because prices are mostly dropping! of course, xiuling wants to be in the group of those benefiting from this time like many others. but how to do it? hmmmm, xiuling should go and do some research.

is it true that the really rich are still really rich even at recessions that they can still spend as if they are isolated from all these situations?
