Chua Soi Lek sex scandal will never be forgotten.

Have I all lost my bearing or was it my moral compass doesn’t shared the same polar with the Malaysian Chinese Association. Honestly, last night I was shock to learn that Chua Soi Lek won the second highest post in MCA.

I think he don’t deserve any post. He is an adulterer, he admitted to it and he even resigned from all the posts he held when his video appear in public. Back then, it was the right thing to do. It never been because of the video, it’s because he did it. It was wrong and he knows it and he resigned. It was a common value accepted by all that a leader must be free of all wrong doing, privately and publicly.

It doesn’t matter if a man is capable if his judgments are blemished.

I’ve admired MCA approached. They are open, but yet not too liberal. They’ve tried to become more transparent. Two term rule for presidency to give chances for a new generation to bring in new ideas is an excellent example. I’m hoping other parties will follow soon. But now it’s back to square one again. By allowing leaders who exited in disgrace manner to return will not make it more liberal. It wills only bringing back the old agendas, it’s a step back and not a progress.

Not just a little bit too much, just too much!

It was the biggest joke when Shah Rukh Khan is announced as one of the receivers of the Datukship. Come on! What going on here? Try to do your own survey, ask around among your friends; is he worthy of the Datukship? Or is it means nothing nowadays and that a Dato’ can be given so freely to anybody.

I restrain myself from commenting on the subject of Datukship awards out of the respect to the Rulers right. I have try to make up some rational and concluded that I have to accept the fact that Nicol David, despite of how young she is, deserve a Datukship, and now she is Datuk Nicol David because of her reputation as world no. 1 in her respective sport, Squash. Even though I assume not many of us know or have any interest in it. But the rest is too much, its pokes me and I’m finding it hard not to laugh.

It really tickles me when I heard that Lee Chong Wei is also being awarded because of his performance in Olympic, and seriously, I thought 2nd places are the biggest loser.

Our Angkasawan got his title basically by entering a competition. I envy him for being the luckiest Malaysian. He won the first place and the price winner is 10 days trip to International Space Station with all expanses including 6 months training in Russia, paid by our tax money. A Datukship is an added bonus for doing well on television and he is now Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor.

In serious note, it is a shame when some states are trying to restrain and limited their Datuk awards to give it some value, the other seem doesn’t care. 77 Dato’ this year for such a small state like Malacca doesn’t seem right. I hope this wont spark a trend, I mean if Shah Rukh Khan is acceptable, then why not Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie for that matter.

PM in waiting

It is a big relief for UMNO members upon hearing that theirs president will not defend his post. It is a big relief for all Malaysian indeed, because we’ll be get rid of the most ineffective Prime Minister of all time.

Now all eyes are on Najib for this is crucial time to show how capable he is to lead. These last few months will be his show to run. Let us all sit back and watch how he’ll manage to juggle in
between being DPM and PM-in-waiting, both has a different role and rules to follow. He can’t afford to appear weak or depending on his boss advices all the time, but then again he also cannot be seeing as insubordinate because he is still a deputy.

On the top of all that, Najib is still required to contest for the post comes this March in party’s election. Tengku Razaleigh is also eying for the post and even though I believe he have no chance to win if he decided to go ahead and stand in the election, but it is still indicating that UMNO is still divided.

Beside that, the thread from opposition is still imminence. By now all Malaysian know how desperate Anwar is to become PM. He is a man with to much to lose if his plans fail. I’ll be expecting more to come from him.

The RAHMAN theory is almost proven right, its all now rest on Najib performances to material.

We all know how politics are. Boy! This will be fun to watch.
