Just finished my works for the day.
I actually like working on Saturday as most people are off for the day. It's more peaceful in the office.
Nothing of importance on the political front which I could write today except PKR having some problem in Sabah as Wilfred Bumburing and his gang had made it clear that they are quitting the opposition coalition to set up their own indigenous party.
They gave all sorts of noble excuses for wanting to do so.
Actually, I think it's more because they are not happy that Lajim Ukin and gang are gaining the upper hand in the jostling for top posts in the Sabah's opposition.
But all these are kinda boring and pointless. As most know, in Sabah, they switch sides like nobody's business and people like Wilfred Bumburing and Lajim Ukin are dime a dozen there.
I'm quite sure they will switch side again before anyone realizes what's going on with them.
Okay, on to more interesting stuff.
I received this text message just now from a lady whom I know have never been a racist all her life....well, until recently, that is....
"Dh lh tngh sakit hati dgn cina. Tadi masa gi petronas, ramai lh queue kt every pump. Myvi cina ni tngh isi minyak, using credit card & full tank kot. Lama lh juga. Dia gi borak dgn org kt kereta pump sblh. Anak nya dok panggil dia sbb dh full kot. Dgn selamba je dia gi ke kereta, x rushing even tho kita dok tunggu kt blkg. Lps tu dia drive ke dpn sikit je then stop. X lps lh tank kita nak isi minyak. Sampai bangla kt petrol pump tu suruh dia park kt tempt yg sepatutnya. Lps tu nmpk dia drive then park ikut suka dia, susah kn org lain pulak. Ni lh chinese lady yg x sepatutnya dok kt sini."
I believe the lady took the trouble to compose the rather lengthy text message and send it to me just to express her frustration at the selfish behavior of the other woman.
However, before GE13, I don't think she would had stressed the ethnicity of the offending woman.
I guess everyone is becoming a bit more racist these days and there's nothing much that can be done about it.
But I don't think we should worry too much over it.
The lady is after all just exercising her democratic rights to be a little bit racist....yes, being racist is also part of individual's democratic rights....just like when the Chinese were practicing their democratic rights to vote en-bloc for DAP in GE13.
So, it's okay.
If you Chinese don't like me because I'm Malay, well, then I don't like you too because you are Chinese.
Fair and square...isn't it?
What? Chinese are not racist at all? They are always fair to Malays? They see Malays as their equals? They do not vote along racial line?
Eh....don't make me laugh lah.....
Okay...not everyone are like that, but the majority do....never mind, it's also going to be the same on the other side after this....
The point of this posting? Well, no point actually. I'm just letting off steam.
Here is a bit of nice music to neutralize whatever toxic stuff above,
