US has oil slick, we have silica-lick...

1. In a country where internet connection is just as unpredictable as a woman, you have tro work fast... as I used to say to my friend - hati mesti baik, mulut mesti manis :)
2. What happen after that may be quickies or eternal relationship. The choice is yours. And hey! don't let funny and provocative minds control you because I am just talking about internet connection, nothing more and nothing less :)
3. Malaysia is indeed world standard! When the world condemns human traficking, we have our own human traficking syndicate in the form of illegal immigrants or at times "unregistered" tourists who choose Malaysia as a transit point before making their way to Australia and beyond...
4. When the world talks about nuclear arms control, our own "national-owned" company have employees who deals with Iran and we choose to "rest" the middleman in our self-cooked ISA...
5. Talk about oil embargo to Iraq and again we have "sleepy head" on top of things when his "family connection" is said to be selling oil to Iraq before he quit his chair in 2009...
6. And now, for the latest - when the world is focussed on environment impact that might happen when the oil slick hits the coast of Luisiana, we are not far behind...
7. Somehow or rather, MACC decided to turn its focus on the sand thieves who have been raking billions in profit and at the same time exposed Malaysia to an environment disaster, waiting to happen or waiting to be chronicled...
8. Imagine this - the sand thieves are believed to be amassing almost RM 49M per month which works to be almost RM 590M per year!
9. MACC "unearthed" these sand thieves syndicate who "exported" silica to neighbouring countries and silica is a component in sand to make glasses. Aiyaa! Ask any form five students and they too can tell the same.
10. My statement? This has been going on for years and can be classified as another "open secret". My, my...dig back past issues of MSMs' and there is a big chance that a "baldy" from Johor is also linked to the issue. So? That means it has been common knowledge and if I am not mistaken, even Nahathir brought this issue when there is rampant claim that sand were exported to our southern neighbour.
11. MACC may be "re-unearthing" this issue BUT the bigger problem is - what is the impact on our environment? MACC may be able to quantify how much these sand thieves are making for a year. I would not be surprised if MACC "decided" to go after some big fish frm the southern state of Peninsular Malaysia. More so, if there is some "turbulence" in BN's backbone.
12. But who will champion the environmental issue? Is the government willing to expose on the impact? Malaysia is a small country and we need to save our environment for our next generation. I dread the day when Zainal Abidin's "Hijau" becomes reality.
    
13. Oh..oh...my internet connection is coming down again...got to save and post it before.....
14. Z - beers here are damn cheap! Angkor will cost you RM 1.50 per glass and works out to be RM 6 per jug! Happy hours? From 6 pm to 2 am...So, if you are through skinny dipping in Magick river, come on over...heh heh....
15. Me? My conscious is still intact - cheap is cheap, I still have to answer to my One God...and I am not about to incur His wrath! God willing...
    

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
