Up-side Down Shop Signage

A good friend of mine sent a series of photographs taken in Malaysia. Here's one:

Throat relieving herbal jelly?!

I am ok with diminishing pimples and acnes, but to have my throat relieved? Not in a million years.

Comments left on the last post ...

"Better say nothing than nothing to the purpose ..."????
"Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today????

and a couple of others.

I did not let these through because they did not make much sense to me.

Secondly, I just wonder why these people bother to comment, and more interestingly, set up blank blogs with no information on the blogger nor was there any blog whatsoever.

Lastly, sharing with you a facebook entry by Sharon Bakar. Hope she does not mind.
Great lines,

"Sorry KL Guy and Cicak Man etc etc - you might be the nicest people in the world but if you can't be arsed to get out from under a fake name on Facebook and put up a picture, I ain't gonna friend you!"

Malaysian Logic?

Notice that the authorities placed cones and tapes around the marked area, but let drivers block the access road?

Guess only find this type of logic in Malaysia.

Seat vs Sit

Seen on a designer chair during the Designers' week in Kuala Lumpur. Either the lecturer can't be bothered to help correct bad English, or the lecturer did not know any different.

I sure hope someone will alert me to the mistakes I make in my posts.

Penang Island and the burning of CM's effigy

Was very disturbed when I heard the TV1 propaganda this morning on the above. Not only was the analysis leading to the demonstration one sided, it is pure racism at its worst, disguised as 'analysis'.

This blogger, as an individual, seems to tower over our well-paid newsmen. I hope these facts gets disseminated to as many people as possible because our government controlled media will not touch facts, only stories spun by our government's spinners.

This is what the blogger wrote:

"The protesters provided no statistics to back their claim of discrimination by the state government against Malays in the state of Penang. Instead it was MPPP who provided the statistics that showed no racial discrimination took place when they acted against illegal hawkers.


2008 - MPPP took action against 2,063 illegal hawkers for non-compliance of the law. Malays - 785 cases (38%), Chinese - 1,082 cases (52%), and Indians - 196 cases (10%).

2009 - MPPP took action against 2,789 illegal hawkers for non-compliance of the law. Malays - 815 cases (29%), Chinese - 1,727 cases (62%), and Indians - 247 cases (9%).

Where is the discrimination except against those who refuse to comply with the law irrespective of race?"

Price of Proton cars in Saudi Arabia

I received an email where there is an image. Let's see if I can get it uploaded...

Nope... cannot do so. Anyway, it is an image of an advertisement where the price and contact numbers in Saudi Arabia is listed. In summary, what the author says is that Malaysians pay twice the amount paid by Saudi Arabians. If it is true, I just wonder how this can continue.

The message reads,

"Kenapa Proton tak jual harga macam kat Arab Saudi?
Apa istimewanya orang Arab?
Kata ”Rakyat didahulukan”…..
Kenapa orang Arab lebih diutamakan?

Harga Persona kat Saudi = SR 36,100
Harga Gen2 kat Saudi = SR 33,600
Harga Waja kat Saudi = SR 37,950

1 Saudi Riyal = RM 0.94

Maknanya harga Persona kat Saudi = RM 33,934 aje
Maknanya harga Proton Gen2 kat Saudi = RM 32,256 aje
Maknanya harga Waja kat Saudi = RM 35,673 aje

1 Malaysia bayar RM 66,799.97 untuk 1 Waja di Msia!

RM31,126.97 lebih MAHAL!
