Freedom is simple-yet profound

Democracy is alive here in this “your voice” forum, great! Normally, I would not comment about issue relating to politic…but the urge is just intense to pen a line or two, so as to entertain and celebrate my perception of freedom.

The assertion of freedom to assemble is simple yet profound and many at time confusing or rather contradicting especially to ordinary Malaysian. Where most of the time, an individual's freedoms of action will often have an unintentional effect of limiting another person's choices. Simply means you're not free when someone else's actions are directly limiting your own action choices.

As such, the debate over the right to organize the rally is a freedom of choice to any legal entity, (referring to the constitution). However the choice will be contradictory if framed as one person's freedom versus another's. Such as, it is your freedom aka right to play “mah jong” until the wee hours in your own house, provided that your neighbors are not deny of their freedom aka right to sleep soundly.

Again, modern freedom fighters have a few biases in their opinion, and it can kind of be summed up in a nationalistic, chauvinistic, politics, fanatics, racist and collectivist way. Hopefully, it’s all about the greater good – hopefully again, so we shouldn't necessarily be free to impose our perceive freedom on others. This freedom of expression that influences modern liberalism and pluralism in the west, but so many on the left side of the spectrum will take these ideas even further. Like the “mah jong” session that turns rowdy even in the privacy of your home, you're still imposing a forced action on your neighbors to retaliate because of deliberate disturbance. However, this logic carried out to its conclusion reduces the individual to a cog in a multi-racial society – and your perceive freedom loses priority to tranquility, peace and harmony.

Notably, democracy is all about entertaining the majority and pacifying the minority and not the other way round.

Disable Parking Bay - Abuse by Parking-son Idiot

Abuse of handicap parking space  is common and almost everywhere. I really wonder the level of understanding of this facility by Malaysian or some are just 'idiot,extreme form of Kiasu syndrome and maybe they themselves are mentally disable. One's may observe most of the time those driving big posh car park there with no handicap sticker, blatantly with no sense of consideration to the disables. An able bodied driver should always have a thought about those who are less able. Thus, when a normal driver parks in a handicap zone and deprives someone else who more needy from parking there, it demonstrates a driver infected with Parking-son - Idiot disease.

Big Car.....own by a pea size cow-dung brain...kiasu.

Posh Car driven by Parking-son-Idiot disease sufferer

However, not many of us are aware the "right kind of sticker for car driven by OKU". Most of us are not sure whether there is a law with regards to this abuses. What kind of punishment of summon impose, nobody seem to care, maybe chain them to the wheel chair for a week or so or  they should get them injected with some form of epidural  which makes them lame from the waist down for a couple days and let them be wheel chair bound for that time...i am sure that will give them a new perspective on stealing disabled parking bay...!!!











Something needs to be done with disabled parking.I suggest that a new bill should be table in the parliment. Part of it to define the fine, but also the information of OKU such as those dealing with names and pictures being place on the dashboard or side mirror. Add that to having to renew them every five years, and we might have something to work with from there for those idiot who love to abuse the parking bay.

Not a dog's world in Selayang

Malaysian must look at this issue with rational mind by giving ideas and suggestion as how this problem should be solved, rather than just comments with loads of racial bigotry. All religions thought us to be kind and humane in dealing with the other creation of God. Every one of us, sure to have some form of short coming, be it as an individual, a group or even a government department. Malaysia, a young country which may take many more years to really come to term with clear understanding of the written law. Not, all Malaysian do have the clear knowledge,spirit and benefit of each purpose of the law enacted. 

Unless you train your dog....dog poop everywhere.

This is not a mock up...truth is, the law in other country is more stringent. Time for the Majlis Perbandaran to have this in public area.

Where is the civic mindedness?.....The kiasu syndrome is now around the corner. Learn to be more considerate with your fellow human being and your neighbors. Please get the knowledge on how to care for your dog and stop abusing them.

When a law is not fully understood by all, such as those who subscribe to the law and those who enforce the law, for sure there will be some form of misinterpretation.

In this contact, the authority must be able interpret the regulation clearly and how to enforce it within the perspective and the spirit of the law. Those personnel assign for the job must be well trained and must be qualified to carry out his/her duty within the parameter of the law. If the task is outsource, the responsibility will still falls within the purview of the authority concerned.

For us being a raayat, many at time we  looks at the given law only on hearsay, general understanding  and interpretation from the general masses. We normally satisfy the general requirement of the law and not the spirit so with the benefit of it. Basically we have a bare knowledge on what we love to do. Yet we claim we know all. Being cruel encompasses many  factors, not only physical, emotion, feeling, inflicting intangible stress and many more. If you love animal please pursue the knowledge in caring them properly. Claiming  that having a license or permit and that the freedom to it. Its a wrong perception! Always remember that, there are many more laws outside your parameter that may overrule your perception.

Exclusive KL Open Asylum

In spite of whatever those are human being we are talking about. These people need help, and that is part of the government’s responsibility. Rightfully responsibility to help the citizens not ill treat them because of their conditions such as been abandoned by their families or without any family, feeling undignified due whatever reason. Those with mental problem should not be there in the first place, that is not the institute for them. 

The stop treating certain people like they are animals…. they are human being like us all with either mental problems or stressed to a point where they can’t return to normal on tier own.
The government are helping the foreigners and even bringing these people into our country but what about those of us that are here suffering??? Homeless, hungry, broke???

Whether they are poor, mental, drug addicted etcetera. It’s time that our government looks into other things than just road projects. There are alot of people who need counseling, a good place to rest, and at least a meal a day

The issue of homeless people and beggars commonly known as vagrants is not often understood by the public. Some find them a nuisance and best kept away from the society. Some empathize with their plights and see nothing wrong with them being around.

The most crucial task of the ministry concern to find the best form solution with regards to vagrant and city poor

‘Sex park’ shocker and local council is pressure to improve service delivery.

The last thing I would like to do, is to give comments concerning local authority problems and any issues related to their function. The working environment, the atmosphere in most municipalities has changed tremendously over the years. Like it or not, it is a dilemma of a government commission department of the state. Sometime it is good to reminisce the so call good old days. Where a group of raayat elected councilors will help and play the role of Mr. Greaser, oiling the local council to ensure that, municipal staffs perform their job accordingly. Don’t misunderstood what I mean here. Frankly, they are doing  fine job even now,  to take care of our conveniences such as basic infrastructures, amenities and at time they are doing thing that most of us don’t aspect them to do. Such as public or residential recreational park, new decentralize wet market, green acres or space for us to perform our daily tai chi session and many more. At time we need to compliment them, they are good in urban planning with well-drawn draft plan for future development.

Perception differ-so with a welfare state and a capitalist...understanding bureaucracy!!and politically link capitalist monkey.

However, the disturbing pictures above do require a new level of concern from the public. These are not a confine problem face by those who reside in Shah Alam, Selayang or in KL city for that matter. Even in other states, problem will be there, and only the magnitude will differ, whether that’s facilities or amenities provided for will endanger life due to poor maintenance or due to vandalism or even misused by a handful of “less cultured” people in the community or in that particular society.

Coming back to good old days, then of course we don’t have such facilities and amenities. Local authority functions with limited resources to provide the best of service to those raayat within the municipality. I think even until today the vision statement remains the same but with constant expansion in area of responsibilities and higher expectation from the stake holder – the tax cum quit rent payer. I think most of the YDPs who are normally selected senior government servant (Yang DiPertua – and his staffs) do recognize all those shot coming. However, they are in dilemma. Not able to identify those contractors who got the contracts for the maintenance job – is a suicidal admission. But at time what choice do they have. 

Is that so?? LOL

I hope the state ‘ombudsman’s’ committee (they got new name now, I don’t know) should be transparent and act on it. So with SPRM, why no urgency!!

The dilemma faces by the local authority are with the state government commission councilors. I don’t know whether the people elected local councilors should be revived or not. I am not sure also, whether the political will is there, because if this happen, to be a political monkeys will be less enticing, why not? No fruits to pick.

To the father and family of Mohd Naquiddin, my condolence on the passing away of your son. Do whatever you want to, don’t let your son die in vain.
