I hope it’s not
too late for me to wish the Muslims Happy Hari Raya. I understand that the Hari Raya lasts for at
least a month. Just like all Malaysians,
I spent the holiday going to open houses and filling my tummy with ‘ketupat’ and
my head with gas. It took me a few days
to recover from the ‘hangover’.
So, I enjoyed
the Raya first, and wished the Muslims later… sorry for that.
This morning, as
I checked on my mails and chatted with friends, I noticed that my previous
article on DAP’s attempt to stop Malaysia from buying weapons from Russia had
hit some buttons. There are people who are not very happy with me laying out
the possibilities and strategies of ‘the enemy’ for the rakyat to ponder.
It also turns
out that the connection between Israel, the Chinese, DAP and Singapore is a
little too hard for some people to swallow. These people would rather be in
denial or remain ignorant so that they can continue their lives pretending that
everything is fine and that they have everything under control because they
know it all.
Well, let me
remind you that nobody knows it all, not even Mr. Rothschild who owns the
world. And most people don’t even know themselves.
All we have or I
have is just theories and imagination plus knowledge of history to guide us
through the future.
And theories are
not made by plucking ideas in thin air.
Theories are made by solving bits of puzzles there and there to create sensible
stories. For me, the news about DAP fighting for Singapore
instead of Malaysia in the Johor causeway toll hike issue provides one more piece
of the global political puzzle, falling into place.
We all know for
a fact that prior to Malaysian’s decision to increase the toll price, Singapore
had first announced on last 1st of July, that Malaysian motorists driving into
Singapore will need to pay SGD35 per day for Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fee,
SGD15 more than the current fee.
However, it seems that DAP thinks that
it is okay for Singapore to squeeze the money out from people who enters the
country but it is not okay for Malaysia to squeeze the same from the Singaporeans.
The new toll rates were imposed on August 1st,
2014, and on the same day, Singapore increased its VEP charge from RM38 to RM86,
to match the hike.
It’s a stupid
move and Malaysia is losing much more, the causeway will become a white
elephant and blah…blah…blah… Malaysia
this, Malaysia that…Malaysia is always doing the wrong thing! -
Hmm…why don’t we
see or hear any protest against Singapore’s increasing its VEP? Shouldn’t the protest be ‘mutual’ against
both countries’ decisions, if not ‘the other way around’?
So, it seems that
DAP is saying, ‘if Malaysia wants to make
money, it must not be at the stake of the Singaporeans. Let Singapore make money from us because it has
the rights to.’
Why? Is it because the country is superior than us
as it is ruled by the Chinese?
I agree that the
increase is too much - ON BOTH SIDES! And
don’t give me the bullshit of we need to kow-tow to every Singapore’s stunt because
our people need the jobs there. You know…sometimes,
when people started pulling hard, we have no choice but to pull back hard too
or we will end up with nothing to hold on to.
Singapore needs
us just as much as we need them, or may be more…because humans need water to
live, and land to live on, or make money from.
Singapore doesn’t have water nor land.
And what do we know about half of Johor that is said to be theirs
already?
Just because
Malaysia is generous and kind, doesn’t mean that we should ‘share’ or give it
all unconditionally.
Therefore, let’s
just say that no country is above the other and not be biased. I understand that for some race being biased
is a natural, but just try anyway.
Now, based on this issue alone, am I
wrong to question DAP’s loyalty to the country?
Or am I wrong about the Chinese and their attitude? Majority of my office mate is DAP-Chinese and
I seriously doubt that I am wrong. They
all speak for Singapore like true-Singaporeans.
