It sadden me when the youth goes wrong

It sadden me. Especially youths who are our hope for a better future. When Sammy wrote on her experiences with snatch thief, she included a not so good name calling and and bad remark. (She had deleted her posting.)

I mingle a lot with the youth. They are rebellious at time, tough, rough, and some would rate them immature. Some matured in an early age. They are struggling everyday in their lives. They need people to guide them. I know I am not in a position to say that. I have gone through their stages as well. Once, I too hunger for the people attention and at time took the wrong path. How I wish at that time there are people who really concern of me and advice me to take the right path or say the right thing. Some time, youths may not head for parents advices. They often would like to know their peer thought about certain things.

The younger generation need helps from all societies. Some did their best. I must salute befriender, the churches all over Malaysia, the NGO and so on. I have to say that they still NEED people to help. It is not sufficient. If you are willing, join them and help the youths. If you are doing your part, I salute you for I know its tiring and your commitment will be rewarded with a change in a YOUTH LIVES.

I know I cannot change a person alone. At least some of us can do a little changes.

Some may think that I am wasting my time saying about changing the youths. yada yada... Yes, I trusted change. Change for better or worst. I trust the better ones. I am not wasting time. I see changes before my eyes. That is why i'm still there to be with them. (Not to be like them.)

Congress Vs Senate

Thanks Bro HP for commenting on US bail. The US House of Parliament voted on monday, but it did not succeed. So, the senator made another round of votes and amend some criteria. For me, I am confuse as well. I decided to check on the differences and their function.

Which is more powerful?

" 'Is the House more powerful than the Senate' the answer is no. The Senate is more powerful than the House due to its powers of advise and consent over treaties and presidential nominations for the judiciary and executive branches."

Taken from this page.

You can refer to another link for more details.
On Senate, differences between both congress and senate, US Congress, and Malaysia Dewan Negara (Senate).

US Congress practices bicameral system or more well known as "checks and balances". That's why they have 2 senator from each district. Malaysia link their bicameral systems to their federal political structure. Thus, it shows the weakness and allows the BIG decision to be made by the major holding power in Parliament.

Back to senator, in US, each senator is selected by their people. Malaysia Senate consists of 70 members, of which 26 are indirectly elected by the states, with two senators for every state in the Federation, and the other 44 being appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King). Read here.

US senate decision to bail out receives mixed response as some don't really agree with it. Either way, we will only know how it will end up in the future.

I learn a lot by reading US bail out. Good to know how we can deal with this. Malaysia have a lot to learn from others. Make sure we learn the better way, not the useless and going-no-where solution.

US $700B bail out APPROVED

Yes, the long awaited result for US $700Billion Bail out " Rescue 911 " for their financial system is announced. They will help the country economic. Obama mentioned that this is to bring US economic back to level and he did mention something like helping the people etc. in which I have forgotten. To read more, click here.

As they struggles with it, Malaysia struggle with the inflation rate. So, in-FLAT-ion mean we will be FLAT soon huh? Flat with the petrol price that had hiked previously and the prices of food hike according to the petrol price. Now that the petrol price reduced, will the prices of food be reduce?

No. The traders will not do that. They will say that gasoline is still rising. Electricity is still rising. Have you forgotten that our Budget promise to be a budget that are fair for all? (That's what PM promised us.) No, like what the TAK NAK campaign said. It's working!!

The people spirit's is going FLAT!
Our purse or wallet is going FLAT!
Our tummy will go FLAT!
I think its time to buy FLAT than bungalow.

Rumour is speeding in the air

When we talk about rumour on something or someone, it can speed away quickly and someone will know about it faster than a lighting struck (trying to exaggerate as much as I can!). I was reflecting about secondary school days when I suddenly remember this incident.

I cannot recall her name but I remembered I admired her. I think I told someone and it was suddenly being circulated around our school freinds..then I don't know how the other high school (which is quite far away) friends know about it.

This really tells me one thing: Gossip travels fast! So, be equip with countering such incident.

It also reminded me of our politic. Some untrue facts was not check and it was spread out wildly. End up it cost a person sad and anger few parties. Therefore, rumour must be check. It was not a high school drama where its still mild for the people to take it. When it involves the majority of Malaysian or citizen, be mindful of our words.

So long...

Wishing Malaysian Muslim Hari Raya AidilFitri
