My beloved was quite upset when told that I will have to take a severe pay cut or maybe later even lose my job because of Covid-19.
My beloved was upset not actually because of the pay cut or the prospect of my retrenchment but rather because I was so calm about it.
My beloved has always hated my calmness.
Well, that's just me. I'm mostly a calm person.
I mostly avoid problems and unpleasantness if I could do so.
If I still have to face them, I'll try to do so without much complaints.
So, in this Covid-19 scenario, I do understand why my employer have to take drastic measures.
Business is simply suffering.
The way I see it, this Covid-19 pandemic is a real war - and a world war at that.
There are bound to be casualties and sufferings.
Everyone suffers in a war, okay....one way or another.
I tried to imagine that the place where I'm working had been bombed in this war and the boss have to cut everybody's pay or even retrench the workers to keep the place going.
Well, the boss has no choice.
On my part, I know I can't expect things to carry on as usual during a war such as this.
We are all in the trenches together, so we have to suffer together.
If I got shot, then I have to accept it. I shouldn't be complaining why it's me and not the next person who got shot.....or suffer a pay cut or even retrenched.
I still have a bit of saving that will lasts for a while. Hopefully it's enough for my needs.
For now, I'm just praying for this Covid-19 pandemic to blow over as soon as possible.
Staying put in the house for these past few days has not been so bad for me.
Spent it mostly reading and playing games on my phone...and praying.
My beloved kept me updated on what's happening out there, which I'm grateful.
I don't have much heart to read about all those deaths and suffering myself.
As for the movement control order, I believe it will be extended beyond its March 31 dateline.
Well, I support any move by the government to contain this Covid-19 outbreak even if it causes me to suffer.
As I said, it's a war.
In a war, we as a nation must get together and support our leaders.
Whether we like them or not, doesn't really matter at the moment.
So far, this government has been doing not so badly in its job to combat the pandemic.
Of course, there were problems, but they are getting better at it.
Let's pray that they continue to do so.
Okay.....I'm running out of things to write for now. Will update this blog later.
You all stay safe, okay.
Cheers.

Covid-19 blues
I was working in the office till yesterday when the boss told us to shut down to observe the Covid-19 stay home order.
The boss told us to work from home, so I'm doing what I could to keep it going.
It's a bit tough for me as I'm not used to working at home.
Don't really have the self discipline.
I tend to be lazy at home.
But I know it needs to be done.
This Covid-19 pandemic is really dangerous, and people are dying all over the world because of it.
For me the scariest of all is that the pattern of the outbreak in our country at this stage is very similar with Italy at the begining of the outbreak there.
Now Italy have more deaths than China, where the pandemic first started.
The death toll keeps climbing there.
Hopefully, we are not going to be like that.
It's a good thing that our government enforced the restriction order immediately once there were signs that the pandemic is getting worse.
Of course there were some hiccups here and there at the start, but I believe they are getting better at enforcing the restrictions now.
On Sunday they are deploying the army to further improve the enforcement effort, which I think is a good move.
Too many stubborn people around such as that cardiologist who insisted that he needed to go jogging at a park and argued with enforcement officers who tried to advice him against it.
And of course there were some of those tabligh guys who refused to go for screening despite so many of them being infected recently at the Sri Petaling gathering.
I hope the police and army people will put a stop to all those nonsense and be tough on those idiots.
Well, we have to suffer this in order to get better or even to just stay alive.
And I know, it's so boring just staying at home....but it's better than ends up being dead, right?
I'm going to spend most of my time indoor, reading.
And watching YouTube, I guess.
I'm learning to sing this song now via YouTube;
Oh, and I hope the Japanese will quickly announce the postponement of the coming Olympics there and defer it until after the Covid-19 pandemic has blown over.
Stay safe guys.
Ciao.

Let Muhyiddin's team work first - priorities : Covid-19, economy
A friend the other day asked me to comment on Muhyiddin's Cabinet of whhich I said to him that I rather wait a bit longer.
I do have complaints about the line -up but for now I prefer to let them do their work first, before judging them.
After all, no one really gives a shit about politics with the Covid-19 situation currently looking as if it's getting worse by the day.
Personally, I want the Muhyiddin's administration to do well in handling the coronavirus crisis.
It's hurting the people, the economy, the country and everything.
So, politics doesn't matter at the moment.
If Pakatan had not collapsed and is still in power now, I would have wished them to do well too as far as the Covid-19 is concerned.
In fact, I think Dzulkefly Ahmad, who was the Pakatan health minister did well in the early stage of the outbreak.
I hope his successor Dr Adham Baba will do even better.
I last met Dr Adham just before GE13 when I was still in Johor and I kinda like the guy.
At that time I was even hoping for him to replace the retiring TS Abdul Ghani Othman as Johor MB.
I did a posting on him in support of his candidacy;
Introducing Adham
Not sure if he's still the same now, but hopefully he still does.
Meanwhile, the spin machine apparently continues its spins, this time to undermine Muhyiddin and his allies, particularly those from Umno.
Covid-19 or not, they continue with their work.
It does not matter to them that people are fearful of the coronavirus as for them getting back the power for themselves tops everything else.
Here's an example;
In Umno pushback over Cabinet,

a flash point for Muhyiddin to avoid
It's an obvious attempt to pit Muhyiddin with Umno.
But then again, just look at the Umno leaders quoted in the spin
excerpts;
It's an obvious attempt to pit Muhyiddin with Umno.
But then again, just look at the Umno leaders quoted in the spin
excerpts;
Among those from Umno who have been vocal over the Cabinet posts are Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Moktar Radin and Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Azalina Othman, who both questioned the allocations given to the party.
Citing arithmetic, Azalina said Bersatu MPs only made up 28 per cent of Perikatan Nasional (PN), but gets one prime minister and two senior ministers, referring to Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali and Mohd Radzi Md Jidin.
Meanwhile, she said Umno only has one senior minister — Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri — despite making up 35 per cent.
Umno’s Pasir Salak MP Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman had said earlier this week that the appointment of Azmin as a senior minister in the new Cabinet makes him and others uncomfortable.
Yesterday, Umno vice-president Datuk Khaled Noordin expressed discontent with the party’s role in Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s Cabinet, saying it was not “subordinate” to Bersatu in the PN coalition.
Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak also joined the chorus of discontent yesterday, clarifying that the PN government is not a Muafakat Nasional and Barisan Nasional (BN) government.
I never really like any of them except for Najib. And in this case the guy was not even complaining about the Cabinet. The writer put him there to make the number of "disgruntled" Umno leaders a bit more, I guerss.
Whatever you all want to say, for me Najib is okay as I never really believe that he stole all those money. In his case I rather wait for the court to decide.
As for the others quoted in the spin, I even despise two of them and regard the group as those whose political career had expired.
Well, they can continue to spin, as it doesn't matter to me. I still believe in freedom of expression.
Just that I hope this new government can fix things.
So far, I kinda like its moves. First thing it did was the setting up of an Economic Action Council which I think is crucial as we continue to suffer from the slump.
Hopefully the council would be able to turn the tide and reassure the public of a minimal impact from all the talks of an impending global recession.
Then there's also its stepped up of effort to contain the coronavirus outbreak which I believe was doing relatively well.
These are still early days, yet I hope the new government will be able to shoulder the responsibility.
In this time of crisis, we should put aside our political differences and support whatever effort necessary for our country's interest.
Anyway, how much worse could this new government be compared to the now defunct Pakatan Harapan government, right?
It may be labeled as a backdoor government, but if it performs well, why should we care about the politics?
At the very least, we know that these bunch of people in the new government didn't lie or make fantastical promises to the people like what the Pakatan people did.
Them lying and betraying their own fellow politicians doesn't count, okay.
Just don't do that to the people. Serve them well instead. That would be good enough.

Looks good in Johor
I was quite happy when I read this story,
It's because I personally know some of the names in this list are good guys,
excerpts:
The state executive councilors who were sworn in were Datuk Samsol Bari Jamali (Semarang-Umno), Mazlan Bujang (Puteri Wangsa-Pribumi Bersatu), Tosrin Javarnthi (Bukit Permai-Pribumi Bersatu), Ayub Jamil (Rengit-Umno), Mohd Solihan Badri (Tenang-Pribumi Bersatu), Zaiton Ismail (Sungai Balang-Umno), Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi (Layang-Layang-Umno), Mohd Izhar Ahmad (Larkin-Pribumi Bersatu), R. Vidyanathan (Kahang-MIC) and Dr Chong Fat Full (Pemanis-Independant).
Those I personally know to be good are;
1. Samsol Bari Jamali
Met the guy several times and aware of his good track record in managing things. He's the one who led the BN machinery in Ayer Hitam in GE14 where MCA's Wee Ka Siong defeated DAP's Liew Chin Tong despite BN's heavy losses elsewhere. Quite a practical guy as well as courteous and willing to listen, especially to his seniors. If there's one advice I like to offer him, it would be - work even harder YB. I wrote a bit about him in this post;
2. Mazlan Bujang
A straight talker, like his brother Maulizan of Tebrau Umno. This guy is an idealist. A bit brash sometimes but it's a quality I much appreciate in a state exco member, especially in Johor where the state government would likely face constant interference. We need someone who is straight as an arrow willing to say exactly what is right and what is wrong. With him in the exco line up, I'm counting on no hanky panky going through without him shouting out to stop it.
3. Ayub Jamil
I know him from all the way back during the run up to the 2004 GE. A good senior Umno assemblyman who serves his constituents well irrespective of race or religion. He was nominated as the BN's candidate for the Batu Pahat parliamentary seat for GE13 by the Johor Umno liasion committee led by its then chief TS Abdul Ghani Othman. His candidacy was however rejected by Najib after the much disliked then deputy education minister Ahmad Puad Zarkashi threw a tantrum insisting he remains as the Batu Pahat MP. The result - BN lost the only Malay-majority constituency in Johor in that election. I don't think that would have happened if Ayub was the one contesting the seat. I have not heard anything bad about the guy over the years which is quite something for a politician.
4. Onn Hafiz Ghazi
I first heard about this young man during the GE13 campaign. Smart, hard working, polite, and sincere were qualities I heard about him at that time. He was just a young junior Umno guy then and it was said that he didn't mind being assigned to minor things despite him being the great grandson of Umno founder Datuk Onn Jaafar. I however only met him in person in the aftermath of GE14. My assessment of him after several encounters was that he looked the way he was described to me back then. I have high hopes for this guy to be part of the future of a good Umno.
As for the others in the exco line-up, I have to admit that I don't know much about them. However, I have not heard anything bad about them either, which for me is good enough for the time being.
I also have considerable confidence in the new Johor MB.
I believe Hasni had chosen the right people for his exco line-up, based on the four whom I personally know. They are all good to me. The rest are probably good too.
After all, Hasni is for me the best guy now to lead in Johor.
I'm quite sure his administration will definitely be better than those of the two Pakatan MB's for the past 22 months. His is also most likely better than the previous Khaled Nordin's administration.
I first predicted Hasni becoming MB in this post in October last year;
excerpts;
I'll soon write about the next Johor state administration which I'm predicting will be headed by Datuk Hasni Mohammad.
I know the guy and I believe he is good.
Okay, maybe not as good as TS Abdul Ghani Othman, but he will definitely be better than the current and past Pakatan MB clowns.
He is also definitely better than Khaled Nordin.
I also mentioned a bit about Hasni in these posts;
excerpts;
Special salute to Johor BN chairman and Umno chief Hasni whom I believed as being the one who made that final decision and his boss Zahid, who allowed him to make the decision.
excerpts;
Third is Hasni, the Johor Umno/BN boss who is the real mastermind behind the landslide victory in Tanjung Piai. The guy doesn't speak much but he is good at what he is doing. Always low key, yet very effective. Very much like my favourite Umno leader of all times TS Abdul Ghani Othman. Hopefully Hasni will be the rightful successor of Ghani after the next general election.
And the longest I wrote about my contact with Hasni was in this post;
excerpts;
A very high ranking Johor Umno leader asked me the other day whom should BN field in the upcoming Tanjung Piai by-election. I actually felt honoured that he asked for my opinion. After all, I'm just a nobody while he is a very important Johor Umno decision maker.
Yup, that unnamed "very high ranking Johor Umno leader" whom I talked to as I wrote in that post was actually Hasni.

Hopefully, the rakyat will get to decide in the end
So, you all happy today?
Well, not all of you, I guess.
Muhyiddin as PM, that's the outcome of Pakatan's demise.
Such a pathetic ending for them.....at least for now.
They can try again when parliament opens for new session.
Try to get that no confidence motion against Muhyiddin.
I actually don't mind if they get it if the end result is that we can have a fresh general election.
Whatever the outcome, the rakyat decide.
A fresh polls is not for Pakatan but for the rakyat.
Pakatan people have no right to claim anything now that they screwed up big time over the whole thing.
They fought among themselves and screwed up.
In fact they have been screwing up since two years ago when they formed the government.
Theirs was the worst government that Malaysia ever had.
I don't think I have to give any example here again as I'm sure that you all know what I'm taking about.
If we are going to have that fresh election, I want them to be punished for that.
And not punished by anyone but the rakyat, not by some technicalities exploited by some quarters as it is now.
The winner, whom I'm quite confident would not be Pakatan will be truly chosen by the rakyat.
No more crooks in the government....or at least lesser than before.
And that government will not be beholden to anyone other than the rakyat.
Since I'm now a BN supporter, I hope they and their allies will win and do the right things.
No more nonsense and no more people who fucked up things before GE14 should be among them.
The rakyat can decide on that by voting the right candidates being fielded.
I don't mind bad people from BN to lose in the election, the same as those from Pakatan.
Hopefully the rakyat have became wiser after all the nonsense and able to choose wisely.
We need a strong and capable government again to manage the country.
Not a government that comes to power by lying, cheating or playing politics and then screwed up everything.
Not a weak government led by a minority party which is beholden to all quarters and could crumble at any time just like the Pakatan's and the incoming one.
We need the stability in this country to move on.
Well, hopefully we can have that very soon.
If not, then we need to be patient and wait for another three years to go to the polls again.
Whatever sufferings we need to endure till then, are the price we have to pay for our democratic system.
I know it's not going to be cheap but for me, it's worth it.

As according to Dr Mahathir's plan
So, Anwar and gang have finally shown us their last card yesterday.
Their talks of support for Dr Mahathir all these while were now known to be false.
Anwar ultimately wants the PM seat and that's all that he cares about.
DAP wants Anwar in that seat because they can control him.
Their supporters were already celebrating.
Their MPs even went to see the Agong on an open top bus as if they have won.
The theory is that they have the highest number of MPs at 92 while Dr Mahathir and the others are divided into smaller groups.
They believe they can get the 20 extra MPs needed to get to 112 with some suggesting of buying them over.
All these after BN and its allies pull out their support from Dr Mahathir because they don't want to be in the proposed unity government with DAP.
Well, my personal thought is this - all that have happened till now were as according to Dr Mahathir's plan.
Yup, I believe that Dr Mahathir planned this whole thing from A to Z.
When his party and Azmin gang pulled out of Pakatan, he told everyone that he was not involved and that's why he had to resign as PM.
So, everyone has to say that he didn't betray Pakatan, causing its collapse.
Then, within hours he got the Agong to put him back as interim PM.
He is now back holding power without those useless Pakatan ministers weighing him down.
Then he made known that he wanted to have a unity government and that gives the reason for BN and its gang to appear as rejecting him.
That move prompted Anwar and his gang to believe that Dr Mahathir now doesn't have enough support anymore.
They seized on it yesterday by telling the Agong and the world that they actually want Anwar in power and all their previous "we love you Tun"and "please come back Tun" messages were just bullshit.
They have also never wanted the proposed unity government and just want power for themselves.
Now, that basically means Dr Mahathir had never betrayed his words to his former Pakatan allies, including Anwar. It's them who betrayed him.
Dr Mahathir is now clean as a whistle and will enter the history book as the good guy.
The way I see it, he now has only two options - cut a deal with BN and its allies or dissolves parliament for fresh election. His road back to Pakatan was by design sealed off yesterday.
Either way, he still wins.
If BN and its allies join him, he will have more than enough number and people can't blame him for it as he was betrayed first by Anwar and the gang.
If not, and he dissolves Parliament for fresh election, he knows that BN and its allies will win.
He knows the Malays just can't wait to get their hands on DAP who is the real puppet master behind Anwar and the other Malays in their camp.
Also, they remember the thousands of Malays who lost their jobs over the past 21 months, Adib's case, the manipulation of the AG, the tearing down of Tabung Haji and other Malay Muslim institutions etc etc. And of course the DAP's arrogant face,
I even have a feeling that Dr Mahathir may independently campaign on the side of BN and its allies.
"Saya masih tak mau mereka yang korupt seperti Najib berkuasa, tapi saya sokong perjuangan untuk orang Melayu dan Islam," he may says.
After all that, he will then retires, still the hero of his people.
Well, let's see how it is going to be.
I have a feeling that we may know by tomorrow....well actually someone told me that last night :)
Till then, cheers.

All these after BN and its allies pull out their support from Dr Mahathir because they don't want to be in the proposed unity government with DAP.
Well, my personal thought is this - all that have happened till now were as according to Dr Mahathir's plan.
Yup, I believe that Dr Mahathir planned this whole thing from A to Z.
When his party and Azmin gang pulled out of Pakatan, he told everyone that he was not involved and that's why he had to resign as PM.
So, everyone has to say that he didn't betray Pakatan, causing its collapse.
Then, within hours he got the Agong to put him back as interim PM.
He is now back holding power without those useless Pakatan ministers weighing him down.
Then he made known that he wanted to have a unity government and that gives the reason for BN and its gang to appear as rejecting him.
That move prompted Anwar and his gang to believe that Dr Mahathir now doesn't have enough support anymore.
They seized on it yesterday by telling the Agong and the world that they actually want Anwar in power and all their previous "we love you Tun"and "please come back Tun" messages were just bullshit.
They have also never wanted the proposed unity government and just want power for themselves.
Now, that basically means Dr Mahathir had never betrayed his words to his former Pakatan allies, including Anwar. It's them who betrayed him.
Dr Mahathir is now clean as a whistle and will enter the history book as the good guy.
The way I see it, he now has only two options - cut a deal with BN and its allies or dissolves parliament for fresh election. His road back to Pakatan was by design sealed off yesterday.
Either way, he still wins.
If BN and its allies join him, he will have more than enough number and people can't blame him for it as he was betrayed first by Anwar and the gang.
If not, and he dissolves Parliament for fresh election, he knows that BN and its allies will win.
He knows the Malays just can't wait to get their hands on DAP who is the real puppet master behind Anwar and the other Malays in their camp.
Also, they remember the thousands of Malays who lost their jobs over the past 21 months, Adib's case, the manipulation of the AG, the tearing down of Tabung Haji and other Malay Muslim institutions etc etc. And of course the DAP's arrogant face,
I even have a feeling that Dr Mahathir may independently campaign on the side of BN and its allies.
"Saya masih tak mau mereka yang korupt seperti Najib berkuasa, tapi saya sokong perjuangan untuk orang Melayu dan Islam," he may says.
After all that, he will then retires, still the hero of his people.
Well, let's see how it is going to be.
I have a feeling that we may know by tomorrow....well actually someone told me that last night :)
Till then, cheers.

Even better to let the rakyat decide
Things are actually getting even better as far as I'm concerned.
I fully support the decision by BN, Pas and their allies to reject the formation of a unity government with people of the currently defunct Pakatan Harapan, especially from the Anwar camp and DAP.
I also support their call for a fresh election.
I'm not sure why Dr Mahathir proposed to have that unity government, but I suspect it's because of pressure from the people around him.
It's just too bad for him, actually. He almost managed to win back the support of many who turned against him for working with the likes of Anwar and DAP but as it is now, he may be consigned forever in history as the one who betrayed his people.
Well, never mind that, as tomorrow may brings new development.
After all, I actually think it's a good thing.
BN, Pas and their allies are not losing anything and in fact they may likely gain something invaluable from the whole episode which is an eye opener for the rakyat as to who these people on the other side really are.
Now the people will see the Pakatan gang as just a bunch who only care about their politics and gaining power instead of taking care of the country which is now suffering economically due to the uncertainty and their mismanagement for almost two years
Let's say, the new coalition government is really not happening. Pakatan gang are going to kiss up and make up to set up their government again, is it?
All the drama for just that?
Is that what the people want?
In and out of office as they please?
What? The same bunch are going to take another round of oath as ministers?
It's a joke, is it?
I wonder what the Yang di-Pertuan Agong thinks of that.
Does his royal highness willing to be part of such farce.
Now that will really put everything out in the open.
Whatever it is, BN, Pas and their allies can always go back to being the good opposition and bid their time.
They already won the moral high ground over all these and the people can see now that they had initially agreed to support Dr Mahathir not because some of their leaders were being prosecuted or they were crazy for power.
Otherwise they would have take up the unity government offer.
They are now the ones calling for a general election so that the nonsense could be resolved once and for all.
That's better because if BN, Pas and their allies win, they will owe nothing to anyone except the rakyat for trusting them over the other bunch who were proven to be liars and hypocrites since May 9 2018.
But it's still okay, if there's no election. They can just let the other side go on playing their stupid political game.
I'm quite sure the country will further suffer from the Pakatan's nonsense but that's the price we have to pay for putting them in power that day.
Still, it's not so bad, okay, as we can just be patient and wait for the time when the people punish them.
It may not even take too long for that to happen.
