虽然，大家的文章，就是平凡。
可是，平凡中各带自己的风格，叙述自己简单的故事，就是读者要寻找的感觉。

怎么会是一个不眠的夜？
清晨，割胶工人正要出门之时，我刚醒来。
匆匆吃了早餐，我就前往学校了。抵达学校的实验室时，大约是早上五点一刻。那之后，我就没有一刻是闲着的：准备化学剂，收集实验样本，批改学生的功课，阅读新闻等。。。这样忙忙碌碌一直到晚上八点四十五分，我才关上实验室的门。
回到家，我并没有马上休息，因为答应自己，要煮一道简单但是好吃的晚餐给自己。处理蔬菜，煮面，也耗了不少时间。不间断忙碌十七个小时，平常的我，已经疲惫不堪，根本不可能还在这个时候上网，写部落格。
可是，今天，我就是觉得有些事情放不下，放不开，看不开。。。。累积许久了，没得宣泄。接下来该怎么办？我清楚，也不清楚。人说，船到桥头自然直，可是，我担心，船，在途中沉了，都还没见到桥头。。。

I Corrupt All Cops
前个晚上，由于睡不着，我选择观看《黑金帝国》（I Corrupt All Cops）。
看完之后，震惊，是我的唯一感受：原来，警队的贪污腐败可以那么的严重，应该说目无法纪。更重要的是，这是血淋淋的事实，曾经发生在香港，震撼香港社会的事件。
可是，只要想一想，这不就发生在马来西亚吗？贪污腐败，不是警队的专利，上至首相，下至普通政府官员都把它当成我国不可或缺的文化。或许，你可以认为，这是一项对国家领导人的指责，可是却没有人不赞同这个指责。它的存在非常重要，因为它勾勒了我国的一部分文化。如果说，少了贪污腐败，我国的官僚文化就没有了特色，这一点都不夸张。
可是，当时的英属香港和现在的马来西亚不一样。由于英政府决意要肃贪，所以，无论当时的香港皇家警队多么不愿意，甚至群起罢工导致治安真空，侵袭廉政公署，他们注定还是要被清理，因为，大权在握的是英政府。英政府的立场是非常鲜明及强硬的。
回来马来西亚，肃贪的口号喊了六年，可是，政府部门却越来越贪。反贪污局升格为反贪污委员会，不但没有遏制贪污，反而可以说，因为其不中立性，导致他可以被誉为助长国阵政府的贪污腐败。另外，由于国阵政府的领导人都被认为涉及贪污，更不可能要求反贪污委员会全力肃贪，断自己的财路嘛！这就是我国和英属香港的不同了。
所以，在我国，为了打造更好的马来西亚，人民完全不能依赖现有政府了。唯有吸取308的经验，强调人民主权，人民透过手上的一票，威迫政府认真实施政策；要不然，就甭给面子，换个管家好了。
我真诚希望，我国的反贪污委员会，可以媲美香港的廉政公署。

六则笑话
以下是我的朋友发给我的。我还蛮喜欢的，因为不止好笑，也清楚表达国人对现任政府的极度不满。希望，你也会喜欢。
１、Pak Lah, Najib And Sami Vellu 同坐直升機巡視。
Sami Vellu 說：'如果我丟一千塊下去，撿到那一個人一定很高興。'
Najib 說：'如果我丟兩張五百元下去，那就有兩個人很高興了。'
Pak Lah 說：'如果我丟十張一百元下去，就有十個人很高興了。'
這個時候 ........
駕駛員喃喃自語地說：'何不把自己都丟下去，讓兩千一百萬人都高興呢？'
2、Sami Vellu 希望提高自己的聲望，想要發行一款有自己肖像的郵票.....
發行過了一個多月之後，Sami Vellu 想要問看看視察看看銷路如何.....
Sami Vellu ： '銷售情形怎麼樣？'
郵政總局局長：'還算不錯，只不過常常有人抱怨黏不牢！
Sami Vellu ： '怎麼會呢？' Sami Vellu 隨手拿了一張郵票，塗了一點口水在郵票背面，便試貼在信封上 ....
Sami Vellu ：' 這樣不是黏得很緊嗎？'
郵政總局局長： '可是......大家....都把口水吐在正面啊 ......'
3、深夜，Najib 去買宵夜，結果在路上遇到搶匪 …
搶匪拿著槍指著 Najib 說：' 把身上的錢交出來！'
Najib 勃然大怒說：'你這什麼態度？我可是堂堂Vice Prime Minister 耶！'
搶匪：'喔，那……把我的錢還來。 '
4、某天，Prime Minister 、Parliment members...等大官一起參加一個會議，結果發生連環車禍，送至醫院急救，記者們聞風趕至醫院....
稍久，醫生出來了，記者忙著問'醫生！醫生！Prime Minister 有救嗎？'
醫生沮喪的搖搖頭說：'唉 ..Prime Minister 沒救了...'
記者又問：'醫生！醫生！Najib 有救嗎？'
醫生又沮喪的搖搖頭說：'唉 ...也沒救了...'
記者就問：'那 ...到底誰有救？'
醫生精神一振說： 'Malaysia 有救了！'
5、有一天Sami Vellu 往某家精神病院視察，所有的病人都站在走廊上高聲歡呼，
Sami Vellu 萬歲！Sami Vellu 萬歲！
只有一名病人面無表情，對Sami Vellu 不理不睬。
Sami Vellu 看到了，問院長說：'那位病人為什麼不對我歡呼呢？'
院長：'因為他今天精神非常正常。'
6、一輛競選車載著Sami Vellu 競選團隊開到鄉村去造勢，不幸在山間小路上翻車。
正在農田作活的老農民看見這情景，就趕到出事地點，可是車上的人都死光了。
于是他挖了一個土坑，把幾個政客都埋了。
過了幾天，負責事故勘察的警察找到那個老農民，問他那幾個政客到哪里去了，老農民說己經埋了。
警察趕緊追問：'他們都死了嗎？ '
老農回答說：'嗯…，我看到Sami Vellu 在我埋他的時候大叫說他還沒死。'
警察說：'那你怎麼也把他埋了？'
老農說：'你知道的嘛? 這個Sami Vellu 從不說實話。
Sami Vellu 說：'如果我丟一千塊下去，撿到那一個人一定很高興。'
Najib 說：'如果我丟兩張五百元下去，那就有兩個人很高興了。'
Pak Lah 說：'如果我丟十張一百元下去，就有十個人很高興了。'

My hope for this 52 Merdeka
Guys, I like this article, which is written by the Treasurer-General of PKR cum the Parliament member of Selayang, YB William Leong Jee Keen. Please drop your comment after reading it. Thanks.
What Independence?
On this August 31st, we shall celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the British leaving our country. I did not say we are celebrating the 52nd anniversary of our independence. This is because our people have not enjoyed real liberty, democracy or justice. Without liberty, democracy or justice there is no independence.
In these 52 years the oppressive rule of a foreign colonial master has been replaced by the oppressive rule of a local master. They rule with an iron fist. They use the same instruments of oppression as the British did. They use the ISA, the Sedition Act, the Printing Press & Publications Act and detention without trial. The freedom of assembly, the freedom of expression and the freedom to live a life of dignity free from fear and oppression are illusions.
In these 52 years the yoke of a foreign colonial master has been replaced by the yoke of a local master. They use the same policy of “divide and rule”. They survive by feeding off racialism. They survive by fostering divisiveness. They survive by preaching religious intolerance.
What Teoh Beng Hock died for
Malaysians will not know real independence, will not be free and will not enjoy democracy unless this oppressive regime is thrown out. They must be thrown out just like Teoh Beng Hock was thrown out from the 14th floor of the MACC office. We must not forget Teoh Beng Hock. We must not forget what he stood for. More importantly, we must not forget what he died for. He lived to help Malaysians in the struggle against corruption and oppression. He died so that our struggle can live. He died fighting for justice.
What Justice?
Without justice we cannot say we have liberty or democracy or equal rights. We cannot say we have liberty or freedom when Tamil schools have no tables and chairs. When in Sabah and Sarawak, schools have no electricity. A child that is illiterate is not free. We cannot say we have democracy or equal rights for women, when a Chinese girl with 9A1s cannot enter a university. A girl without a job has no rights. We cannot say we have freedom of choice when a man cannot feed his family. A starving man has no choice.
Liberty, democracy and freedom are meaningless words when there is no justice. Justice is political liberty. Justice is economic independence. Justice is equality. There is no political liberty when you vote out of fear. There is no economic independence when you give your support out of fear your son’s scholarship will be withdrawn or your license will be withdrawn. There is no freedom of choice when you elect a party out of fear for your contract or your business. This is what has been happening in these 52 years and this will continue if we do not act. There will be many more Teoh Beng Hocks and many more Port Klang Free Zones if we do not stop them.
What One Malaysia?
Najib says he wants One Malaysia. Teoh Beng Hock’s death has shocked us back to reality. We cannot just listen to rhetoric. We must look at the deeds. When we look, we see what has been done, is a far cry from what has been said. The Perak government has been stolen from its people. Najib has now declared his intention to grab the Selangor government.
The MACC is a tool. It is used to de-stabilize the Pakatan Rakyat government. Teoh Beng Hock was interrogated throughout the night. He was grilled for buying RM2,400 worth of Malaysian flags. No one has been grilled when PKFZ loss RM12.6 billion. The MACC officers are raiding the Pakatan Exco members’ office so often they are becoming fixtures. Cars and cows and Malaysian flags have become a fixation of the MACC. MACC has not shown the same enthusiasm when it comes to BN assemblymen who used up their annual allocation of RM500,000 in 2 months before the general elections. The MACC has also not shown any interest in the trips by the former chief minister and his family to study the river system in Disney Land. There is no investigation into how the former chief minister can afford to purchase a multi-million ringgit mansion that is beyond the means of a chief minister’s salary.
Barisan Nasional machinery is now on the move. Books attacking Anwar Ibrahim and Khalid Ibrahim are being distributed. The authors of these books are sowing the seeds of hatred and contempt. They desecrate the Hindu’s sacred cow in a protest filled with bigotry. They protest against a Hindu temple built 150 years ago when the area was a plantation that today, just like its devotees, the estate workers, had been left behind by development. They have forgotten Muslims were invited to practice their religion amongst the people of Yathrib. They are beating the drums of race and religion and the tone is becoming harsher with each beat.
The people must now decide. There cannot be any fence sitters. There is no middle ground.
When Teoh Beng Hock was thrown out, the people of Malaysia was thrown together with him into the sea of political troubles. Whether Malaysia will sink or swim is now up to the people. The people must decide once and for all what is right and what is wrong. There cannot be a neutral ground.
Dante said:
“ The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of moral crisis.”
Today in Malaysia there is no place for neutrality. Malaysians must make their choice now.
If we want to know what is evil and what is right, we must use our moral compass. It is only when we know the direction where justice lies can we know where we must stand. Do we want to choose liberty and justice which are always right or do we want to choose corruption, hatred, arrogance and oppression which are always wrong? The choice is clear. Every Malaysian must make his stand.
When you stand for liberty we stand with you.
I want to tell you that when you stand for liberty, we will stand with you. When you defend democracy, we will be your shield. When you fight for justice, we will be your sword. We will always be with you.
They assaulted Anwar Ibrahim. They threw him in jail for 6 long years. They call him a traitor and worse. But Anwar will always be here to fight for you.
They hounded and harassed Lim Kit Siang. They detained him in Kamunting. But Lim Kit Siang will always be here to stand by you.
They attacked Tok Guru Nik Aziz and try to humiliate him. But Tok Guru Nik Aziz will always be here to protect you.
We have been tested. They have thrown everything they have at us but we are still standing and we are still here.
We were here in November 2007 when a sea of yellow marched for a free and fair election. This was BERSIH. We were here in December when thousands in orange marched for equality. This was Makal Sakthi. This was the ripple that started the tsunami. Barisan Nasional was swept out of 5 states. Since then Barisan Nasional has become more extreme in their policies. They have become more brutal with the people.
When we Hope
So on 1st August, the lovers of justice and liberty marched again. Again Barisan Nasional responded with violence and brutality. 638 people including women and children were arrested. Despite the police shutting down the city, despite the many road blocks and barricades, despite the arrest of those wearing black, the number who succeeded in gathering far exceeded my expectations. But the size of the gathering cannot be bigger than my hope for Malaysia. My hope is for every one that braved the tear gas and water cannons there will be many thousands more. We want hundreds of thousands to march with us. We will march from under the shadow of fear into the light of justice. My hope is that the flame burning in each who gathered that day will kindle the hearts and minds of many thousands more. Malaysians will find the courage to stand up for principles and convictions. We must stand up for what is right.
This is my hope and this is the hope of all Malaysians. Truth, love and justice will prevail over the forces of hate and oppression. This will only happen when the silent majority refuses to remain silent anymore. This will only happen when the voice of the majority is finally heard. We must be confident that oppression and corruption cannot endure. We must take comfort that truth and justice will always prevail. But this can only be achieved if we fight for it. We must fight today for a better tomorrow.
Looking Back in the Future
Do not let our children look back and say that these are dark days. Let them say that these are great days. These are the most glorious days that our country ever had. These days will be remembered as the days when we were called, we answered. We stood up. We stood together shoulder to shoulder irrespective of race or religion. We fought and we prevailed. Each of us played our part according to our strengths. Our children and their children will look back on these days and celebrate it as the days we became ONE NATION. These days will be etched in our Nation’s history as the days we won over injustice and oppression. These will be the days we celebrate THE TRUE MERDEKA.
Thank you, Xie xie , vanakam.

猜测
我喜欢《猜测》。
整个黎明整个下午
整个晚上整个明天都是你
一种思念一种心情
一种担心一种期待整个包围我的心
我的希望在雨天后被冷落在寒风中
每一颗眼泪只为你相信真心不会变
从前到现在渴望得到你的解答
让我猜测你的伤心你的激动
让我知道想你的心有没有用
牵着你的手心我的心情
在那一个深深的夜里
让我猜测你的心思你的行动
让我知道犹豫是否在你心中
听着你的呼吸我的思绪
在那一个深深的夜里
猜不透的你
我讨厌猜测。
