Of tersinggung and pay hike...

Utusan Malaysia screams with Sultan tersinggung and so does other MSM. Malaysiakini reported Johor Sultan offended by Guan Eng's remarks. Lim GE is quick to apologise over the statement.

You can read it all in MSM as well as online news portal. Nightcaller is not going to dwell on that, not this time. Instead there is more that we should be tersinggung...

Nightcaller is more bemuse with the word "tersinggung" or offended. Why not when everybody in Johor is micely quiet when we lost Pulau Batu Putih. Why no noise when Johor (or rather Malaysia) lost Pulau Batu Putih to Singapore?

On that occassion, the world court decides that Pulau Batu Putih rightly belongs to Singapore. Why? Because the Singapore team are better prepared with documents and led by experienced lawyers as well as academicians. Malaysia's team? One young ciku on express lane to high places who happens to be a son of someone high in Putrajaya and said to be the one who call the shots on who to prosecute or files stamped as NFA...

We lost Pulau Batu Putih and nobody tersinggung? Funny... or is this the case of the one who help us lost Pulau Batu Putih is from blue blood? This blue is BN blue....

Or what about the time when the palace lost their immunity and their "perks and power", thanks to our 4th PM. You mean nobody from Johor was tersinggung by that event? The event that leads to a few royalties being drag to courts for various cases including "business deals gone sour"?

I wonder if anybody will be tersinggung if someone digs up history and comes out with findings on the real lineage of those in yellow attire. I dug mine and so far just glad to know that Nightcaller is not related to "pirates of Carribean" nor to any known pirates around the world.

So, no wonder Malaysians are not tersinggung when we lost Labuan, courtesy of Abdullah Badawi...

The point? Nobody will get tersinggung unless you happen to be Lim GE.... that's my guess or maybe someone will be a bit tersinggung if you happen to be Mat Sabu... Other than that, everything must be fine in Malaysia, especially when Najib is going to announce a big pay hike for public servant next Friday.... unfortunately Najib do not have a final say on that matter. When asked to confirm, 1MPM6 merely smiled and if you read his unmoving lips, perhaps you may hear a faint murmur.."RosCTmah belum lulus lagi..."

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

Of Undilah... what sublimal crap?



MCMC said the video is full of anti-government sublimal message. Some claimed that it has not passed the censor board. What? Does that mean MCMC approved the supposedly sex videos taht makes it to our dining table, courtesy of TV3? Does that mean the supposedly Anwar's video sexcapades pass the censor board?

Before we proceed any further, have you guys seen the Undilah video? No? Then please take 5 minutes of your precious time to see it and judge it yourself.

Sublimal message? What message? The only thing the video is encouraging is to get you guys, born bred in Malaysia to register as voters and to vote!

Watching it for the first time, I did not see anything wrong with the video. If a scene of an unknown reader flipping through Harakah is anti-government, then the backdrop of Najib's "Pencapaian diutamakan, rakyat didahulukan" is more than enough to drown out Harakah's scene.

The difference? Harakah's flipthrough is at the early part of the video whilst Najib's backdrop conquers the middle and the later part of the video. Now, if you are watching movies, which scene will be etched within you? The first part of the ending? My answer is the ending - nobody wants to know the build up. So, MCMC is partially wrong in branding the video as anti-government.

Who is MCMC working for? The rakyat or political masters? MCMC should remain neutral in their dealing. By stating that the video has sublimal message, MCMC is exposing themselves to future adverse comments. So, are we suppose to be exposed to continuous pro-government sublimal message?

To me, Undilah video addresses to younger generation, the hip-hop audience who will go with the catchy phrases. Did they say Undilah Pakatan Rakyat? No! Did they say Undilah BN? NO!
So, what's your problem MCMC?

Of ISA's -1 + 2: Najib style...

Let it stands that when 1MPM6 is busy buying time by announcing the purported coming abolishment of ISA, DNightcaller is working on increasing the waistline with rendang Selangor, lemang Perak, Laksa Penang, keropok Terengganu, batang buruk Johor, dodol Melaka, nasi kerabu Kelantan, kek lapis Sarawak, terubuk masin Sabah etc. In short between Najib's "Thursday night live" and my "Duduk duduk sambil makan", DNightcaller comes up tops with better and truly Malaysian culture. Eat your heart out, Najib...

1MPM6 Najib, is that the best you can do? With all the hype and build-up complete with coralling 800 or as your "pak pacak", and you can only talk about repealling ISA? Aiyah! Malulah...

Going by Najib's track record, what he talked last night is already predictable. Since 2009, Najib proves that he is "lembik" with his ever "lallang" announcement and "give aways". When Palanivel takes over Samy and hinted Indians (which is actually MIC's stand which is actually his wish) shying away fom BN, Najib rewarded Palanivel with full minister and appointed Samy as Malaysia's special envoy to India with senior ministers ranking standing.

Now that Prof Kopi "O" Zainal comes up with his findings that Malaysia (or Malaya) was never colonised, how will Najib responded as he is the one who trumpeted "Don't change history" just days ago in Bukit Mertajam? So dear Najib, which is which? With the rate our leaders are re-defining Malaysian history, I think I am better in American history than Malaysian history...

Just the other day when slumping in Starbucks, this Chinese friend just returning from Macau was taken by surprise with "we were never colonised" statement. WeIlizabeth of UK when we use her face to decorate our stamps? Are we paying Elizabeth of UK patent rights when we use her face to decorate our stamps? Is Najib (or for that matter Mahathir) saying that we have already use APCO Britain way back in the 1940's or worse still since Francis Light era?

What Najib mentioned is actually what the rakyats have known all alone. In fact, the rakyat has abolish ISA in 2010 when they took the streets of KL denouncing ISA. So what Najib is doing is acknowledging the rakyat's demands. So dear Najib, are you going to backdate the announcement? If you do, will history be rewritten to accomodate you?

Unfortunately Najib's announcement is actually a non-announcement. Repealing 1 ISA law but introducing 2 new laws, is that the better solution? Why are we looking to UK and USA as reference point? Is Najib (and Hishamuddin) implying that we are going to have our own Guatanamo bay? If that is the case, then how can we say that these new laws will not be misused and abused? ISA has been abused before so will it be the same with these new lawsnother chocolate coating, perhaps?

With 800 audience before him, Najib fails to deliver anything sterling. What he did is doing what should be done ages ago and even that, it does not warrant the grand brouhaha on Malaysia day eve. Maybe the most Najib can hope for now is celebrating 16th September as the day ISA is officially abolish. Then again, how can you celebrate it when parliament has not approved it and YDP Agung has not inked it?

Najib can do much better if he used the opportunity last night to announced his separation from those who weighed him down beginning from RoseCTmah, Hishamuddin, Rais, Muhyiddin but Najib just do not have the guts to it. As said earlier, Najib is too "lembik" to be Malaysia's PM.

Saying so, if Najib is committed to BN he should use the opportunity last night to tender his resignation. If that had happened, then for once Najib would have upped Mahathir in dramatising his resignation. Najib way want to do that but RoseCTmah will not allow him and she may ise everything at her disposal ensuring Najib would not have uttered it. Who know, Najib may be implanted with cynide in his pinkies... anything is possible...

Whatever it is, wishing you all "Happy Malaysia day"... and enjoy your holiday. Me? I am already out of country looking for bread crumbs to continue living... heh heh heh just kidding

Of friendship : in good and bad times...


Silence does not mean that this caller is happy with what's going on in Malaysia. In fact there are so many things waiting to explode and fortunately anger management seems to subdue the unhappiness residing within this lifeform. I will talk about it later...

For now, I should state clearly that I stand by this particular friend who is currently down but definitely not out. The best part is he did not know who is DNightcaller and I will definitely saviour this for a long time to come.

When I know of his predicament this afternoon, I choose to take a step back and observe from a far how he handle the delicate situation. Not because I like it but I think he choose to take the first step his way and I have to respect his wishes. In fact, not many of his inner circle knows what's going on. I did know because of my own inner-inner circle alerted me when this particular friend was caught offguard.

Monitoring from afar, I monitor his progress and once he passed his critical hurdle, I sent him a short and assuring sms. It is time for friends to lend support. You see, this particular friend of mine is timid and this persona non grata choose to invite him for a simple chat in Old Town, pasar seni.

There, all the possibilitieitys are laid out for him to choose as this is not the time for a single person to make his decision. A few cups of coffee and I finally see the smiles coming back as rays of hope and opportunities are spread out. Afterall, this is all the way his Al-Mighty test the faith of His believers. Whilst mine come in the form of health faced by my other half, his comes through his misjudgement of character. Whatever it is, DNightcaller gently remind him that this is the time where he will sort out who are his real friends... and I hope I will be one of them.

Before the millenium, DNightcaller was tested when my other half was hospitalised and the doctor gives an ultimatum "Operate now or she will be gone forever". At that time DNightcaller was literally jobless and practically alone in the city. How critical was it? Well, I can't even get a second opinion from others as my other half is suffering from internal bleeding which must be stop then and there. The operation went smoothly and I was saddled with the hospital request to replenish 5 pints of blood used in the operation. With nowhere to turn to, DNightcaller called his old office...and you know what happen?

Sad to say that those office staffs who were close to me before never cares and not even a word of symphathy. But 5 souls from a different race (I am not being racist here) offers their blood and just request me to bring them to the hospital to donate their blood. Up to this day, nothing will ever repay their kindness to me. That's what friends are for...

Another was 500 km away and upon hearing my predicament makes his long trip back to provide moral support. This particular friend met his maker 2 years back and no matter how much I do, I can never repay his sacrifice to be with me when I was down. That's what friends are for...

Friendship is about giving and taking. Whilst I have my own shortcomings which are plenty, I hope that tonight I brings back hope to this particular friend who is down but definitely not out. I hope tonight, he can sleep well thinking That's what friends are for...

I admit that the past month is quiet for DNightcaller. Yes, I seldom surf the net nor do I post in my blog. And tonight, I realise that Zorro's mum is back in his house. To Z, I pray that his mum will recover well. That's the least I can do for now and hope Z can consider That's what friends are for...

To all, please take some time to reflect who are our friends and have we done enough from our friends because That's what friends are for...

Tomorrow is another day and DNightcaller will travel with his down but not out friend looking for his new pasture. Pray that he will find one, better than his previous one...That's all I ask... and I know it is not too much.
