Melbourne Cup & Tunku Abdul Rahman, Obama & McCain - Race of the Year!

Melbourne Cup will be up for grab today. My father told me about Tan Chin Nam good friend, the late Tunku Abdul Rahman. Tan Chin Nam also have a memoir entitled Never Say I Assume! (2006). I am definitely going to purchase this book. I cannot recall since when I started to read memoir, now I am even more interested in the story telling of how a person fights for freedom or poverty to become a man/woman of worth.

On Tunku, Tan CN said in Malaymail interview :

My one regret was that Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, my racing partner in Malaysia and Singapore, had not had a leg of Think Big in order "to share the joy."

On sharing the joy

What is the point, after all, of drinking and playing alone? When two persons drink or own legs of a horse, you have more fun. When four persons drink or own legs of a horse, you get still more fun.

To read the complete interview, check it here.

How close could they be? Can Malaysian be back to the era where people are just as close as both of them? Well, its all up to the people to make a change in their life.

About house racing, I am quite interested after reading Seabiscuit novel. No, I haven't watch the movie. I managed to complete the novel last 2 months ago. It took me for quite a long time. I am interested not because of the bet on the horse, but the intense of the story where the horse and man race against all odd to win the greatest race.

Coincidentally, Nov 4^th is also the day American votes for the President! McCain and Obama race against time to bring U.S. closer to a transformation! I am eagerly awaiting for the result. So do all the nation. Enjoy both race!

Is this YAB Lim Guan Eng blog's?

I came across this blog that put up all YAB Lim Guan Eng news. I wonder whether is it his blog or some one manage it for him. Nevertheless, it is worth to keep the update on him. After all, I am "concern" or more likely very busy body after Penang, which is now under his hand.

View it here.

Whom that I have voted? The people used to say: Undi adalah sulit. (My vote are private and confidential.) Eh hem... hint. I like some change. Guess it? :)

SME in good shape? Malaysia's Economic

Khoo Kay Peng wrote this article which I would like to share it with you.

Below is part of what he wrote:

"Our government record on helping the SMEs is very poor. The government did not do much to help the 99.2% of all registered businesses in Malaysia which are SMEs but mainly focus on a handful of listed companies and GLCs. These businesses provide 56% of jobs to Malaysians."

See? Those who are in SME can wait to close your beloved business if you are not competitive enough. Its either you die or he/she die. With the current economic situation, its hard to help keep the business upward. Some may say change this, change your way, take the risk, etc... I say: You try it.

Its time to keep our purse or wallet tight. Meanwhile, its good to get some early sleep and save on electricity. I need to discipline my self on that!

Harga petrol, diesel turun 15 sen lagi-ref Malaysiakini

Yalah, Anda tak salah NAMPAK! Petrol Turun lagi... 15 sen.

Jadi, Apa yang menyebabkan PM kita turunkan harga minyak? Adakah kerana dia punya pangkat sudah turun jadi dia pun turun harga ?

Ataupun sekarang dia di rumah tiap tiap hari pun "TURUN"?

Pandai-Pandai fikir lah! hahaha!

Taken from Malaysiakini:

• Petrol RON97 dikurangkan daripada RM2.30 seliter kepada RM2.15 seliter;

• Petrol RON92 dikurangkan daripada RM2.20 seliter kepada RM2.05 seliter; dan

• Diesel dikurangkan daripada RM2.20 seliter kepada RM2.05 seliter.


The price drop will benefit us. At this time, we must also think of how to get alternatives energy if the petrol run out one day.

Friends, help save the environment.
