Two national public holidays were celebrated together for this year ? Actually what were the events ?

August 31st, 1957 was an Independence Day (Hari Kemerdekaan) which commenmorating the independent from the British colonial for the Federation of Malaya. So Malaysians celebrated 54 years of Independence day for this year.

September 16th, 1963 was the Malaysia Day which commenmorating the established of Malaysian Federation of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore. So Malaysians clebrated 48 years of Malaysian Day. Somehow Singapore left Malaysia as an independent country in August 9th, 1965.

This year Independent day had no celebration but to be celebrated on September 16th, 2011. Most of the people get confused, which was the independent day celebration ? Anyway, it was considered as doubled joy events for all the Malaysians. There were many comments through the local people, anyhow they were happy to celebrate together for this memorable Malaysia Day.

Malaysia National Anthem is "NegaraKu" means My Country.
The theme and logo for this year is "1Malaysia, Transformasi Berjaya, Rakyat Sejahtera" means "1 Malaysia, Transformation Success, People Peace".

The celebration of the great day was held in Dataran Merdeka on yesterday. This memorable day was attended by Malaysian and also some foreign tourist and visitors. Also present Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, Prime minister and Deputy Prime minister and cabinet ministers. Performace and parade were beautifully arranged.

Prime minister Datuk seri NajibTun Razak also annouced three laws will be either reviewed or abolished. It's about the Emergency Proclamations, Internal Security Act and Banishment Act. Most of the Malayisans so happy with these annoucement yesterday from the Prime minister, however at this moment the reality is only " possibility" for a few laws to be abolish. During this period of time the government still need to study the abolishment of the acts, it means not yet implemented. The local people said, hope it can be reality soon. Anyway it was a very good news for them.

Happy Malaysia Day !

Dog ate Human

Yesterday most of the Malaysian got shocked to the dog ate human news.

The story started with the dogs owner Andre Lumboga went back to the hometown at Manado and left the seven dogs unattended in the house. After the two weeks vacation, he came back home and had been attacked by his own dogs.

When they found him, he had been tore apart, the skull in the kitchen and the body in the living room. Dogs and human bones were on the floor. Everyone got shocked !

A group of the starving dog, acted mad because of hungriness. The owner who had been eaten up should make decision earlier that to send the dogs for cares. Then maybe at this moment he would have been safe. Unfortunately, he never done that. He ignored and neglected his responsibility. Once the dogs were starving, could they just sleep or sit quietly ?

This is the lesson that all of us need to be aware of. Do not let your pet leave unattended especially in village area, it is because they do not know where to get the food to ease thiers' stomach. It is the owner responsibility, to take care of theirs' daily needs.

Funeral

Yesterday evening the old Indian woman neighbour passed away. She had both of the kidneys failure. Most of the relatives and friends came by car and motorbikes to pay for the last respect to this old neighbour. They started to set up a few of the white roof tents infront of the house and served the foods for the visitors. Prayers also non-stop. The family was very busy until late at night.

This morning they had the prayers too.

Just now in the afternoon, they started to do the flowers arrangement again. Many big garlands had been arranged. Just before the funeral, I heard the many big crakers playing sound. Adopted the local Chinese custom ? They also invited the Indian traditional music group to play the music for the funeral ceremony. Every one pray and pay the last respect before walked and followed at the back of the coffin with body to the juction of the road.

The close relatives to the death old woman wore the not so striking colour of clothes and with the black half transparent shawls. However, I observed they were many who wore the striking colour clothes and high heel too.

In the juction they put the coffin into the van and prayed again. Then the relatives and friends use the own vehicles to follow the death body van to the cemetary. The ceremony temporary end for this session. Next there will be some prayers ceremonies to be perform in the house.

Use the correct lane on the road

I would like to share an experience here, which nearly involved in a near miss.
Do you want to know what happened?

This morning I drove the car and stop at one of the traffic light area near to TESCO, Kuim. I stopped because of the indicator light was 'red'. There were 3 lanes on my side.

Turn to the left (Left lane) can go to TESCO. I was in the middle lane, because I wanted to go to Lunas. Turn to the right (Right lane) can go to the housing area.

The indicator light then turn into 'green' light after sometimes of waiting. Every car started to move, so did I.
Suddenly the right lane car speed up and turn 90 degrees in front of my car and want to turn to the way of TESCO. I got shocked and immediately put the break on. Luckly the next car at the back still some distance away. If no, the outcome should very clear that accident will happened.

Ooo....What can I say ?

Common sense to use the correct lane. 'NONE'.

Second hand handy phone

This morning when I walked to the market after parked the car,
I was stopped by a man, whom the age was about 30 years old plus.
He wore a not neat clothes and pants.

He spoke in Malay language (formal language of Malaysia),
I don't understand but only a "phone" word....

I looked at his hand, he shown a second hand handy phone in his hand.
Looks like he want to sell it to me.
Afterall it's true because I was told so.

Well ! I guessed he got this phone illegally.
He still sell it in public area.

CCTV

Penang is placing more CCTV in the island and also in mainland, the coverage is more wider now.
In Penang islands, they will put up the CCTV to 71 in July, 2011.
Coming soon mainland in Penang state also will put up CCTV till about 80 too.

The purpose for this is to make criminal case less.
Also indirectly tell the people whom involve in the criminal offences or behaviour, they will always being watch.
Action will be taking accordingly, in order to educate these people how to live in a society or community.

Recently the percentage of the criminal case in Penang is gradually going down.
It's a good sign, because many people lifes in Penang had been taken accidently or purposely, while robbers robbed the local people or foreingers' items.
