Voracious Animals
Animals in nature are categorized by their feeding habits...
For the ferocious meat eaters, they are by nature carnivorous...
Their hapless preys, they are torn to pieces, gnawed and chewed....
There there are the plants feeders, the herbivores, munching and grazing in peace....
Caught between these two is the human species, meat and plants eating....
Mercilessly effective, humans devour meat and plants endlessly....
The human species, we are omnivorous in our feeding patterns....
But going viral, there is yet a 4th grouping in the human animal..
Umnovorous, a new breed of high powered and high flying human individuals...
Feeding brazenly on all kinds of money, perpetually thieving from the people...
Question remains, how do such gregarious animals feed...
Do they chew, gnaw or do they swallow complete...
All those ill gotten Malaysian Ringgit, heavens forbid?
Promised Land or Bolehland
Eons ago, Bolehland was one harmonious land...
She was world acclaimed as a model multi racial nation...
Super rich in natural resources as compared to Singapore.....
Even precious water, we export till this day to Singapore...
But as a generation, we witnessed first hand how our promised land ....
Slowly disintegrated into Bolehland, through racial and religious politics...
When the government of the years sought to remake the nation....
Where one race and religion supersede all other considerations...
Caring little for the wisdom that it's the people that maketh the nation...
Selfish political policies and decisions ate away the wealth of our nation...
Look at tiny Singapore, bereft of natural resources save for her peoples....
Yet standing tall as an economically nation of power....
Ye gods, one Sing dollar is thrice the poor Ringgit...
What a enduring slap in the face for the supremacy of religion and race in Bolehland....

Greetings For A New Year
As 2016 midnight draws near, let's give resounding cheers...
For Happy New Year greetings for 2017 are here...
This outgoing year has been a horrible year for Malaysians...
For the many insufferable and nasty developments through the year...
Removal of subsidies has knuckled down many a family...
The introduction of GST of 6% service tax was a rude awakening...
Consumer prices shot up overnight, families struggled alright....
The local ringgit spirals downwards, its value diminishing overnight.......
Now the new year beckons, we hope for the best and feel upbeat...
Even as we worry what lies ahead, nevertheless we cheer for a new year...
News is out that there is price increases for petrol and diesel in general...
And massive Chinafication will commence once the year begins..
Yes, 1MDB saga will definitely hog the main news yet again...
As the hand of global justice, best seen in Singapore, closes in...
We are Malaysians, still upbeat about what the new year will bring....
Glad tidings and unbridled happiness when 1MDB criminals are brought in...
In Bolehland where exists infinite possibilities, Happy New Year everybody....!
