Don't be angry....or sad, when writing

I think I went overboard with my last post.
Felt so after reading this comment.

Wow guys! Aannie is talking about ladies corparate gals laa.
Awat hang marah sangat ni Aannie. Biaq pi lah. Some corporate guys are ok ya. Well, may be not gals laa.

That former ex Maybank, PNB and now Bursa boss is ok. You like him don't you? We all do too. Tony from Air Asia also ok. He never ditch any of his employees despite of covic19 no business pandemic. Sapa lagi.. aa aa that Cinaman Vincent Tan pun belum buang pekerja walau pun Berjaya group business sudah separuh mati. Banyak lagi corporate guys are ok.

Corporate gals I tak taulah...only Aannie knows best ya.

Ya, not all corporate people are bad.

Sorry.

Really, I never claimed to know the best and I tend to get emotional sometimes.

I was angry over something yesterday, and that's why the post was like that. Something bugging me and all the old resentments boiled to the surface.

Need to remind myself not to write when I'm angry.....or sad.

Yesterday I was angry, but today I'm sad.

So, I don't think I should write more than this.

Otherwise the post may sound so mushy and sad.

I think I will give it another day or two before commenting about the reopening of the circus we called parliament in this country.

Ya, the clowns that we have as politicians are at it again.

They just can't wait until the Covid-19 crisis is over to start their comedy again.

Sigh.

Here's a music video instead. Enjoy.

Selfish corporate bastards

I never really like the corporate type of people because I think most of them are bastards.

Really.

I avoid them most of the time....if I could.

Yeah, I know they are the sophisticated ones with fancy jobs who hang out at fancy clubs, eat fancy food at fancy restaurants and live in fancy apartments with their white expat boyfriends or sometimes husbands.

I know, most of you fancy to be like them.

But, you know what, I find them to be so fake in their arrogance.

And shallow.

And pretentious.

Yeah, they have the money and stuff, but they got those things by sacrificing their soul.

I know one who was so proud of her "all that matter is the bottom line" attitude and "be a winner at all costs"motto.

And she used to be the nicest of person before she joined the corporate world.

"Nice people are losers. They don't win wars. I want to be a winner," she once declared.

For me, nice people are the ones who made this world worth living. Allah bless us because of them, and not because of those selfish corporate people.

Well, whatever it is, that's the corporate culture as I understand it.

That's why I don't like those people.

I actually even distrust the corporate PR people because I always suspect them of being nice just to gain something.

It's after all about the bottom line.

Most of them never even understand what is genuine friendship....except one or two, maybe.

Yeah, it's plain toxic.

Because of this corporate culture, we have headlines such as this,

Want us to test workers for Covid-19? Then foot the bill, developers and builders tell Putrajaya

What a bunch of selfish bastards, right?

These are people who made billions from this country and yet they are demanding the government to pay for Covid-19 testing of their workers.

Making the government pay is the same as making us all Malaysians pay - not only the rich but also the poor.

And then they are making all kind of demands to make sure their bottom lines are okay.

Yeah, that's to our expense as tax payers.

I'm glad that this is the government's reply to them,

Covid-19: Company with a single infected worker will be shut down

excerpts;

“The government recently shut down the construction site on Jalan Ampang because we detected positive cases there,” he said, referring to the Pavilion Embassy where at least 27 workers had tested positive for Covid-19.

Ismail Sabri added that it was employers’ responsibility to make sure their workers do not become infected.

Well, that's why I don't have much sympathy for those people in the corporate world....except a few.

And it's also the reason why I don't listen to that BFM radio station. I find them irritating beyond belief, anyway.

More on drunkards and stupid drama queen politicians

I was particularly amused by this AFP story,

Chaos outside liquor stores as India eases virus lockdown

excerpts;

Police swung batons on Monday to beat back thirsty Indians jostling to buy alcohol for the first time in 40 days as the government eased further the world's biggest coronavirus lockdown.

Well, that's quite funny, actually.

Of all things.

But the local media reports were not so bad as I observed in this video.

At least they don't show the policemen hitting the troublesome sections of the crowd outside the liquor stores.

Whatever it is, I think that country need to do something about the drinking habit of its population.

Luckily Malaysia's drinking problem is not so bad...mostly.

At least we don't have long queue outside the liquor stores yesterday as we eased our MCO.

Personally, I don't mind people drinking and minding their own business.

What I don't like is when the drunkards go around causing trouble like beating up fireman and ramming policeman to death.

Mabuk lah suka hati korang, tapi jangan jadi celaka pegi bunuh orang tak tentu pasal macam tu, okay.

And please, when you mabuk, try not to talk too loudly or boastfully. That's terribly irritating.

One of these days, if you continue being an irritating drunkard, I'm really going to grab that whisky bottle and smash it on your head.

Stupid loud mouth drunk assholes are the worst.

Anyway, today I ventured out from the house for the first time since the MCO was implemented.

Felt quite weird.

Even the driving was a bit heavy after two months.

Things out there looked normal, except everyone is wearing mask.

I think Malaysians in general know how to keep themselves safe under the ongoing conditional MCO.

I trust the government had done its calculations before easing the lockdown.

And those states which wish to continue with the strict enforcement....let them do so. No big deal.

Their economy just have to suffer a bit more I guess.

Well, some people want to show they also have power what.

And some want to be in a dramatic headline like this;

Conditional MCO: We're ready to

 face any legal suits for protecting 

1.8 million Penangites, says state CM

Hey DAP guy, you don't read this news ka?

Covid-19: Penang is now a green zone state

Stupid politicians and their drama....sigh.

I got quite upset when I saw this police report among my WhatsApp messages this morning.

Covid-19: Policeman dies after being hit by suspected drunk driver at roadblock

I feel so sad for the family of the deceased policeman.

My prayers and condolences for them.

Somehow, the death of Corporal Safwan also reminds me of arwah Adib.

Some said Adib's assailants were high on alcohol too that fateful night.

Well, I know, it's fated by Allah that they died but I'm just hoping justice will prevail soon.

Those, who caused their deaths must be severely punished, one way or another.

By the way, can't those people just drink whatever piss they wanted and not go around killing others????....especially firemen and policemen.

I'm actually beginning to understand why the Pas people want to shut down the beer factories.

Some people just simply don't know the limit of their alcohol tolerance.

To make it worse, they also don't have any idea on how to manage their ego.

Two mugs of beer already mabuk, yet wanted to show off how macho they were and drank some more.

Talk big all the time some more.

Then went to beat up fireman at temple lah, hit policeman at roadblock lah.

Real fucking bastards.

Hate campaign against Rohingya by racist scum

Looks like I have to write a bit about the anti-Rohingya campaign currently waged by some people in the social media.

That's because a friend yesterday asked me what I think about this article,

Time to repatriate Rohingyas 

Well, from the start, when I saw the title and name of the author, I immediately knew that it's going to be a racist article.

True enough, these are excerpts from it,

Rohingyas have long been distrusted. Rohingyas in Myanmar have a dark history — from trying to get their Arakan/Rakhine province ceded away to calling for the province to be incorporated into Bangladesh to their attempt to declare an independent Islamic State.

Rohingyas must know that we too know about Rohingyas terror acts against Buddhist and the massacre of Hindus. So Rohingyas should not not play innocent.

If that's not racist, then I don't know what is. It's like saying that all Indians with Christian names have been proven to be pariahs. Something like that.

I don't know how Malay Mail Online can published such vile racist propaganda. Its boss Leslie Lau is after all known to be championing a Malaysia without racism...as far as I know. Hey, Leslie, you sleeping or what?

And the author of the article was also clearly trying to get the Malay Muslims to hate the Rohingya who are also mostly Muslims.

excerpts;

Further, the Rohingyas could inter-marry with the Malays and their off-springs within a generation or two become Malay-Bumiputras. Remember the poem “Melayu” by Usmang Awang. Soon, there will need to be added a new line to the poem “Rohingya yang pelarian pun Melayu.”

What it all means is that, the Malays will (in time) need to share their special rights and privileges with the new Malays — the Rohingyas. Thus, the Malay share of their cake will get even smaller. They too will be entitled to studying in UITM and MARA or getting loans from MARA or Tekun. They too will demand the contracts apportioned exclusively for Malay be also given to them.

Hey, we help the Rohingya refugees because they are human and prosecuted.

In fact, we would help even animals in need because that's our human nature.

As how to deal with the Rohingya issue, we should just let the government handle it instead of spewing racial hatred as did the author of that article.

The government has proven that it knows what it's doing and we should let it do its job, especially amidst this Covid-19 crisis.

No need to make things more difficult by going on a hate mongering campaign.

That author of the article was also the one who prompted me to do this post earlier at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic,

No need for hate-mongering during this Covid-19 war 

Well, some people are simply toxic.

Apparently the same person has been offending quite a lot of people, such as this lady,

That's one gutsy lady.

I wish I'm as fearsome as her.

Yeah, racist scumbags do deserve to be whacked like that.

They are the type that I highlighted in this post the other day,

• The real racists and bigots

The worst about them is that they go around shouting Racist! Racist! Racist! at other people while they are in fact themselves the worst racists.

Enough of perasan pandai people

Another Sunday under the MCO.

And this time puasa some more.

I actually got quite a bit to write here...the bullying of Ebit Liew,  vilification of Rohingya refugees, Chinese ships encroachment into Malaysian waters, etc.

However, when I look at all those people bitching about this and that,  I don't feel like writing much for this time.

I think I should let the government handle those issues. I think it's up to those tasks.

Enough of people thinking that they are clever and the government need to listen to them to run the country better, especially due to the Covid-19 crisis.

Really guys, everyday those people are making all kind of noises saying the government need to do this and that or should have done them much earlier.

Giving suggestions is okay, but when the one giving the suggestions are saying them in a manner where they wanted the people to think that they are better than the government, that made the entire exercise rather tiresome for me.

Especially when those people are the ones who think they are so clever but when given the chance to run the government, they totally screwed it up big time.

Ya, I'm talking about those who said the people who govern this country for about six decades are inferior to them and the people who run Singapore.

Now that they had kicked themselves out of Putrajaya, they are making noises, days in and days out, on how the current government should conduct itself.

You all tak tired of them ka?

And their fanboys and fangirls can't shut up either.

They thought that by making as much noise as possible, people may forget about how screwed up the country was during the two years after GE14.

Some have even resorted to talking rubbish to drown out the proven reality that their side can't govern or even being decent.

Sometimes I wonder if it's just ego that keep them going.

Gosh, how I wish they could just be quiet.

This current government is not ideal to me, but I believe that it's doing a relatively good job so far handling the Covid-19 crisis which came exactly at the same time it took over Putrajaya.

Honestly, I don't really care how it gets there anymore after it proved itself capable of handling the crisis and saved lives.

A lot of lives saved, okay.

Muhyiddin also turned out to be good in his role as PM during this crisis. I had written about that the other day.

So, if it's not broken, why those people are making noises that their opinion on Covid-19 should matter to the government, right?

Why they need to sibuk for attention?

I hope the current government stays until the end of this term. Let it do the follow up work after handling this crisis.

I believe I'm not alone in having no tolerance anymore for stupid politics such as that we had experienced post-GE14.

Especially, when lots of work would be needed for the country's recovery process which should start within the next several weeks.

Seriously, we have enough of those nonsense as to who should be PM, who are of the better race, who are more moral etc.

We have indulged them for almost two years with all that shit.

Not anymore, okay.

Well, that's all I want to say for today.

As usual, when I got nothing more to say on a boring Sunday, I put a music video for your entertainment.

This is actually the only Mandarin song that I can sing without making people cringe too much.

Too many memories.

Never mind.

Cheers

How to handle bitter old men with ego problem

Someone lamented to me last night that the organisation she works for has came under attack for no apparent reason.

She sounded a bit depressed.

However, when she told me who was the attacker, I just laughed.

"Don't worry lah. That guy's words don't carry much weight anymore after Dr Mahathir resigned as the PM," I told her.

Well, actually the guy's words have not been carrying much weight for quite awhile even before that due to credibility issues.

I believe that he was just lashing out because he didn't get what he wanted.

You see, this guy was going after this other chap, whom I always regard as a good person, for quite a while for reasons I believe was purely personal.

At one point he must have thought he had won after his target was forced to resign from his post after GE14.

But then, the Pakatan government collapsed and the new administration deemed it necessary to get back the services of that targeted person.

So, once again this guy attacked his target in the hope of preventing the appointment.

Again, it must be a very personal thing, Most likely the targeted person did not give what he wanted or did not give him enough respect thus bruising his ego.

But seriously, the targeted person is really the most helpful, humble and respectful corporate figure I have ever met. He remained so during his short national duty stint as a minister.

Anyway, the appointment went through and the targeted person is now holding one of the most important posts in the country.

I believe the attack told to me last night was actually a random one. More like the guy lashing out in frustration because of the appointment.

However, the person who complained to me about it was sure that her organisation was specifically targeted.

"Well, maybe your boss had in some way offended the guy just like in the case of his previous target. It sounded that way from the wordings of the blog post. I don't think he's going after your organisation per se," I told her.

Anyway, I advised her to just ignore the attack.

"He's probably just trying to scare your boss into listening to him as he thought he's still influential. Trust me, he's not anymore. He's just old and and being once influential, now has bad ego management issue because no one really listen to him anymore. At best, your boss should just humour him, okay," I said to her.

Sigh. Bitter old men drifting into irrelevancy are quite tricky to handle.

You can't whack them because they are old and appear helpless but you can't be too nice with them either as they could turn really toxic.

I did experience this problem before and based on that, I recommend for them to be ignored and avoided.

Just pretend that they are not there and just let them rave and rant all they want to themselves.

Ya, give it a try, as it may work for you as it worked for me.

Hahaha...can't believe I'm giving out this kind of free advice during this Covid-19 crisis.

Eh, here, enjoy this song pulak,

Smile and be positive. Cheers.
