eeew TV3

I puked blood watching TV3 news. That's why i stopped watching Buletin Utama since few years ago. TV3, you have totally lost ur credibility n trust from the ppl. Since when Seksualiti Merdeka festival event turns into 'perhimpunan seks bebas'?! You are saying the event is to promote 1 night stand, having group sex or sex partner exchange is it? TV3 u r so damn fcuking sickening! Why must you frame people up? Pls dun twist n spin the words 360. Your job is to report the truth, not to lick ur boss ass. media taik cirit buat malu aje! shame on u!

When i was small, i respect TV3 and i dreamt to be an anchor in TV3, but now podakh! 

I WILL BE SO SAD IF ANYONE I KNOW WORKS FOR TV3 OR UTUSAN MALAYSIA. SERIOUSLY!

senior in The Star newspaper

Sunday Star 11/9/2011 Page 16

Jeng Jeng Jeng!!

This is Elween Loke, my senior in Journalism. So cool right? I was so shocked to see his face in the newspaper just now. I'm happy for him. he's a smart ass la. He's working for a newspaper now by the way. Don't mess with a reporter i tell you. hahaha!

Survey to decide fate of infamous cobblestone road

Penangites, a good news for us. Finally the road is going to be tarred. Say thank you to the current state government by Lim Guan Eng. Only moron designers, architects and government can come up with the idea to put cobblestone on the road. Zzz.. They thought bapak dia olang mia jalan. Hotak letak kat lutut, maybe atas jalan kot. wahahah!

read the news from The Star below.. 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

THE cobblestone road along Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling in George Town may soon be removed and replaced with conventional tar surface.

State Local Government and Traffic Management Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said the Penang Muncipal Council (MPPP) had received numerous complaints from road users on the cobblestone road since it was resurfaced in 2006.

He said the rough surface made driving uncomfortable while tyres wore out faster, especially for motorcycles and trishaws.

“It is also slippery when wet thus making it potentially dangerous,” he said, adding the council would conduct a week-long survey from now until Aug 23 to get the people’s feedback.

Chow said the input would be taken into account before any decision could be made.

He said work on the project, estimated at more than RM100,000, could start in about three months if it was approved.

Speaking to newsmen during a press conference on Monday, he said the cobblestones would be reused to cover the surface of a car park at the Penang Municipal Park.

“As for the concrete imprints, which also formed part of the road, they will be left untouched,” he said.

Survey forms will be distributed to residents and commercial operators along the road.

The public can also voice their opinion by calling Rohayu or Anne Loh from the council at 04-2592200 or email to mdrahizan@mppp.gov.my before Aug 23.

The survey form can also be filled online at the council website, www.mppp.gov.my.

Pensioner Lawrence Rajoo, 64, who was among the first to take part in the survey, said it was a good idea to replace the road surface.

“The rough surface of the cobblestones makes riding uncomfortable,” said Rajoo, who travels around on his motorcycle.

Shopkeeper Phoon Ah Hoe said the project would encourage more people, especially motorists, to come to the area.

“I have seen motorcyclists skidding and falling on the ground on rainy days when the road is slippery,” said the 64-year-old.

what a JOKE of the day

Well, let see what is the joke of the day.

First it’s from our Menteri Luar or Minister of Foreign Affairs, Datuk Anifah Aman. He was responding to the questions from people protesting in London. Najib, Hishammudin and him was there to meet the Queen of England. This is what he said about Bersih 2.0 rally.

“Tindakan polis berpatutan. Malaysia mempunyai pelbagai bangsa dan jika terjadi huru hara itu mungkin menimbulkan rusuhan perkauman. Kami tidak mahu ambil risiko. Awak tidak tahu apa yang berlaku di sana, awak tidak berada di sana.”

(http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/170233 and http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/170247)

Come on Datuk! Stop lying! What joke are you telling??

Tindakan polis berpatutan? Whacking and beating people is appropriate? Shooting tear gas and water cannon into the hospital compound is ok? SIMPLY arrest people for wearing yellow and with the BERSIH word on it is correct? Oh wow…

Ok what else?? Huru-hara itu mungkin menimbulkan rusuhan kaum? Halooo.. it’s not chaotic at all if not because of the police. Everyone was walking peacefully until the police shoot tear gas and water cannon. Yes there are a few provocative demonstrators who couldn’t hold onto their emotions.

And the rally is not about Chinese vs Malay or Malay vs Indian or Chinese vs Indian or any race vs any race! It’s not a racial rally. It is a rally by all Malaysians from all over the country, all walks of life from different age, gender, religion, profession and so on. Nothing racist from Bersih 2.0 demonstrators. They were helping each other throughout the intimidation and abuse of power from the police. They were chatting and joking with each other. Chinese, Indian, Malay, Sabahan, Sarawakian, the aborigines got tear gas and water cannon too. It was a touching united Malaysian scene. Forget about the propaganda 1 Malaysia concept by Najib. The Bersih 2.0 demonstrators best represent the concept on July 9^th. Racist elements only came from Ibrahim Ali and PERKASA. HE’S THE ONLY ONE BEING RACIST.

For your information Datuk Anifah, you are not there, so you don’t deserved at all to give your own judgement!

Shame on you Anifah Aman, Hishammuddin Hussein and Najib Razak for all the lies you made.

To all the politicians in Malaysia, stop talking nonsense and make fun on yourself. Most importantly don’t fool the Rakyat.

Why I talk so much?? The reason is simply because I was there when the democracy process took place.

Ok now let’s go to the second joke of the day. This time it’s about UiTM, a university for the Bumiputra. It got to the with the PERKASA President, Ibrahim Ali. UiTM is giving out Anugerah Ibrahim Ali or Ibrahim Ali Award to its students.

(http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/170244 and http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/170252)

Oh wow!! Ibrahim Ali. Oh yeh.. uhhh..

First of all, I am so happy and proud of you, Ibrahim Ali for willing to sponsor RM 5000.00 in every convocation to the suitable student. It’s so nice of you. I think the students must be very happy for your kind contribution. Seriously it’s a good news when you give back to the society. You will be a good role model for your kind act.

But, I am so shocked with this award. How can a university acknowledge people like you, Ibrahim? Not enough with the racist label given to UiTM, now UiTM is one step backward in recognizing racism and recruiting more racist Malaysians. Don’t deny the fact that UiTM students are taught to be pro-government. Don’t deny the facts that there are a number of students from UiTM who are bearing the racist mindset.

I wonder what he has contributed to the nation. Erm.. Asking the Chinese to go back China? Er.. asking the Chinese to keep more food at home? Er.. Saying he can bring more people to counter Bersih 2.0 rally? Staying away when the Bersih 2.0 took place? Or calling Wong Chun Wai the Father of Crocodile (http://malaysiakini.com/news/170196).

Sorry but I am disappointed and utterly disgusted by this award. RM 5000.00 to promote and enhance racism? Bullshit!

Good academicians from UiTM please stand up and make a stand. UiTM is an educational institution. It supposed to give birth to capable, open-minded, rationale, outstanding and muhibah leaders not to produce more racist people like Ibrahim Ali la…

University should uphold democracy and improve the society.

Just because you can come out with RM 5000.00, you can have the award under your name?? fuyooo! What’s the rationale and relevancy?? Yes you may be cheered for speaking on behalf of the Malays but your views are not supported by all the Malays. You might be fighting for the Malay rights but I still don’t feel that you deserved to give out that award with your name on it.

I will be the first one to support if it’s a A. Samad Said Award or Marina Mahathir Award or even a S. M. Mohamed Idris Award.

Hmmm it’s ok la it’s your university, not mine. And I’m not the applicant. Afterall, UiTM is making itself a laughing stock, at least I laugh. Wahahahaah!

Siapa yang rasa dia layak and tak malu, apply lah.

I wonder what my friends from UiTM have to say about this award. Please leave your comments.

The application form is here (http://impak.uitm.edu.my/?page_id=2312). Your family and friends must be very proud of you. =p

OK I’M DONE LAUGHING WITH THE TWO NEWS TODAY. If you don’t feel funny, don’t laugh la and you can go away from this blog.

WHAT A JOKE OF THE DAY!

my blogspot = my newsroom

Bloggers are everywhere now.

Why people go into blogging? Some because they want to share their thoughts. Some they want to have an account of their life. And some just love to write.

I’m all of it.

I love news reporting. But as the Chairman of SRC, there is a lot of news that I can’t write for J-ON.

Later people say the news is bias ma. In news reporting there must not have conflict of interest one.

I talked to J-On chief editor just now. Hahaha. Yea she’s my boss now. You know what she said? She said if not because of SRC, I’ll be the chief.

Ahem.. nah.. she n another guy are good. Seriously.

Anyway she said that if I were the chief, I would be very stern. Whatever news that I say need to cover, they must cover. If the reporters say no, then there’ll be debate.

Hahaha. Kinda true on the debate part. And kinda true that I think when it comes to selection of news, I’ll be quite stern and stick to my decision.

It’s okla. I’ll make my blog as my newsroom.

I’m the reporter, photographer, and chief editor.

I’ll be responsible for what I wrote.

I write what I know, what I believe and what I want.

My blog is my newsroom.

oh it's in NST

ok how should I start? I wrote an article/opinion piece and I sent it to press’ ‘letters to the editor’ last friday. Then almost everyday I go Google my name. but until today I don’t see my name appeared in that section. And I don’t receive any news from anyone as well. So fine la I know what I wrote is not good enough to be published.

But then just now around 12.30pm, a man (photo) who claimed himself as the Special Assistant to Deputy Higher Education Minister, Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah  (yes he’s a original one) sent me a message in FB. He said YB read my letter in NST on Monday 16/8/2010 and he like my views. So this Special Assistant would like to arrange a meeting with me and YB.

I was like er..ok.. betul ke ni? First of all I didn’t know the letter came out. Secondly a Special Assistant to a Deputy Minister sent me a FB message? Thirdly im meeting the YB? Am I dreaming?

So I quickly went to dig NST’s archive and guess what, I saw my letter but my name was spelled wrongly to ‘Oh Ching Eng’. No wonder la I google tak dapat.

Then I gave my contact number to that handsome Mr. Special Assistant la. Takkan I nak reject kan? tak manis kan. But I still can’t imagine that YB agrees on my views and this Special Assistant to a Deputy Minister managed to find me in FB and sent me a message. Woah!! This is my first time lo…

Lastly, my name is Oh Chin Eng la, not Oh Ching Eng.

oh ya this is the link:
