Of PLKN, media blitz, line clear no more...

Well, here we go again. 1MPM6 needs to do budget revision due to slumping oil price. At the time of writing, what interest me is PLKN. One of the highlights to 1MPM6's announcement is "Deferment of the 2015 National Service Training Programme to save RM400mil; programme to be reviewed and enhanced". What does that means?

Is 1MPM6 saying that PLKN is unimportant? How can this be when we are at the lower ebb of understanding each other and these youngsters are the future leaders of Malaysia? Is 1MPM6 depriving our teenagers from PLKN training as well as to give them a chance to be with their peers?

Where is the original inspirations to mould our teenagers into future leaders? Where is the dream to build PLKN into our reserve units? Where is the thoughts of using our youngsters as volunteers during emergencies or natural disaster?

It seems that 1MPM6 has prioritise his partner's spending over our budding leaders? And isn't it this 1MPM6 who lamented that our youngsters are too far apart that they need to be instilled with the 1M feeling? Cakap lain, buat lain...

On another front, there are rumours that there is a hidden war between the has been and the present. Only this morning, this writer educate a 24 year old guy about politics. Now, it seems that there is an unregistered open infighting in UMNO. The latest person opting out is Zam and he came with his statement that he opted peace of mind over anything else. Does that mean, someone is gaining the upperhand? I don't think so.

Like it or not, the grand ol' man has put Malaysia on the map and the current crop of leaders are not continuing the pace set by him. In fact, Malaysia is getting out of the radar and into the news for all the wrong reasons. It is true that the O;' man did mistakes in the past but it is nowhere what the present (and counting) leaders are doing. Banking on Anwar to do damage to Ol' man will backfire. What is the cost of pulling Anwar to your side? At what price?

Unchecked, the implosion will be the end of BN. Just look at MIC. When the party is facing actions from ROS, the President is out of the country. Is the same happening to numero uno party? The party's president is too buzy with his "golf diplomacy" until he seems to lose track of what is going on in the country.

Putting Anwar in charge of his battle with the 'ol man, 1MPM6 is spelling "DOOM" to his own party. 1MPM6 needs to wake up. Maybe he is too much out of touch that he lose sight of his own course.

For those who travels to Penang, Nasi kandar "Line Clear" is synonomous to the island since 60 years back. This writer was lucky enough to visit the stall for the first time 2 week ago. Now "Line clear" is no longer "clear".

Regardless of the cause and the reason for the action, MPPP's action is correct eventhough a bit too late. Besides operating without a legal business license, line clear should be taken action way before on the grounds of unhygenic condition, improper seating and facilities... Maybe, this time around, Anwar too would like to put his hands in the situation. Afterall, Anwar thinks he is THE solution provider...but I see him now, more of a liability than an asset...

And before I sign off...a nice piece taken from "Another Brick in the wall"...

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