Anwar Ibrahim’s Visit to Kuala Kangsar and Lumut - Din Merican

The Winds of Change have come to Perak Darul Ridzuan

The trip with Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim to Kuala Kangsar and Lumut on January 4, 2007 was indeed a punishing one. My colleagues and I did not return to Kuala Lumpur until 3.a.m on January 5. But it provided me with the opportunity to be in another part of our country where I had not been for long time (I was a frequent visitor during my school days at the Penang Free School for competitive soccer and hockey with our great rivals, Maktab Melayu). Except for Kuala Kangsar, the places we traversed that day were unfamiliar to me.

The programme was packed with places to visit, each precisely timed. We arrived on time for Friday prayers at Masjid Ridzwaniah (adjacent to the famous Maktab Melayu/Malay College) in Kuala Kangsar town. Dato Seri Anwar was warmly received by mosque officials and the jumaah, including the students who waited patiently to shake his hands and exchange pleasantries with their famous old boy. After prayers, we accompanied Dato Seri Anwar to Taman Chandan Puteri for the opening of a new Parti KeADILan Rakyat branch where some 230 Indian members were received. He spoke to a gathering of 500 people and encouraged them to work hard as the 12th national elections is only months away.

Kalut yuran sekolah - Mat Saman Kati

Kalut yuran peperiksaan sudah menjadi kemelut kerana pemimpin yang bertanggungjawab terhadap pendidikan semakin melalut. Bila rakyat sudah merungut, baru depa kelam kabut.

Kata orang tua dulu, kalau sekali hang menipu, hang kena menipu kali kedua untuk menutup penipuan hang yang pertama. Lepas tu, hang kena tipu kali ketiga untuk menutup penipuan kali kedua. Lepas tu, sampai mati pun, hang kena terus menipu.

Ini yang berlaku dalam sistem pendidikan kita, terutama yang berkaitan dengan yuran peperiksaan.

Oooops! Sorry Chua Soi Lek

Anyway, Chua did the honourable thing today by resigning from his post. My salute to to him. We are hoping more people, especially Umno leaders to emulate Dr. Chua.

Happy birthday, Chua Soi Lek

AS the clock ticks away the last hours of 2007 tomorrow night, many of us will be hoping that the new year will be an improvement over the old.

But will it?

The answer is "no", according to some astrologers, because all of the elements that had a negative influence on 2007 would still be present in 2008.

"Clashing elements, missing elements, no lap chun (Spring) -- we'll be having the same bad signs in 2008 but they'll affect us in a different way," said astrologer and feng shui consultant Lillian Too.

"It's (going to be) a very weak time," said Chinese astrologer and feng shui master Datuk Yap Cheng Hai.
