I AM BACK!



It has been 3 years since my last posting in 2013. After the last election I look forward to a peaceful and prosper country to be  led by the new government.  Sad to say, things had not been  right and obviously our beloved country had been steered out of track by irresponsible group of people. We did not expect our country to be in this situation after the impressive growth then. So something is wrong?

Now the authority wanted to register the bloggers and you know what this  means!  So I revive this blog just to join the fun of expressing my views and to share with anyone. So I am back…..

After a long break , I think the above title is suitable as a start. To get many viewers to share your blog it is important to have a good headline or subject title. The headlines most of the times will decide whether one to proceed reading or not. Sometime the writers used bombastic words or title that has impact  to catch readers attention. An example way back in the 70’s the UK punk rock  group Sex Pistol released the album ‘God Save The Queen’. The lyrics in the album were not pleasant to hear and (maybe) intended to humiliate the Queen. Anyway the album top the chart and the group was not even approached by the authorities or police  like what poor Namewee experienced. The Queen made a remark  ‘Obnoxious!’ and this single word appeared in the front page of almost all the UK dailies. Many were trying to interpret the meaning and many were flipping in the Oxford Dictionary to look out for the meaning of this word!

Similarly in this beloved country the word  ‘Sodomy’ was never a word to be used in public. Now you can read it almost everyday either in dailies or blogs. The word ‘Liwat ‘ once appeared as a big headline  in a Malay daily. Schoolteachers had a hard time to explain to schoolkids the meaning of this word. At that time politicians gave freely to schools the so- called dailies but now the election was over, they have stopped these  practices. Now whatever words they are using as headlines nobody  cares. Presumably a part of sex education!

Quite recently another word hit the road, Kleptocracy! Now Malaysia is famous  for the wrong reasons. Since this is not a small issue, our country will be watched from all over the world. Hence imposing  restriction on  mainsream media and  cyber blogs. The bloggers will have a hard time to express what is right and what is wrong. They may find themselves behind bars for no logical reasons. Those days we did not frequently heard of libellous,seditious or sued for defamation. What freedom do the  bloggers have in a so-called ‘Democratic’ country?
