Bloggers Unite!

BLOGGERS UNITED CONDEMN ACTION AGAINST ROCKY & JEFF & DEMAND LEVEL PLAYING FIELD in ALL ACTION AGAINST BLOGGERS

We, Malaysian bloggers, we, who believe in justice and right to free speech, we, who endorse the Bloggers United movement, unanimously condemn the action taken by media conglomerate NST against bloggers Rocky Bru and Jeff Ooi. The action by the newspaper against the duo is an action against all bloggers who believe in their right to free speech, freedom of expression and justice.

The recent event may seem like a grave development in the path of bloggers, but it can never and must never impede or stop us from defending our right to speak, to express, to write and to tell the truth, to be the watchdog, eyes and ears of the people, or simply to share our view, and give fair comment on any subject which involves and affects us as humans, as rightful citizens of this country.

The recent event may very well give the government owned media the opportunity to dictate the so-called “truth” but such actions only prove that bloggers must unite, continue to uphold the right to free speech and freedom of expression, fight for justice, even if it is not our own, be more alert, committed to the cause of free speech, relentless and persistence in the face of such persecution like the one which had befallen on the two of us.

What YOU do to any of US, is what YOU do to ALL.

As responsible bloggers, we demand and claim our space on the blogosphere for free and fair comment, where important national issues and prominent personalities are discussed.

Although it may seem as if the NSTP defamation suits will have a chilling effect on freedom of bloggers, as litigation can be expensive and may jeorpadise a bloggers economic position, we will not be cowed or silenced by those who have no regard for free speech.

If you find our post offensive, you may refute us with correct facts and figures and fair comment, in the spirit of free speech.

The first two cases will have grave impact not only on the internet, but country as a whole as the country celebrates VMY2007. The healthy, mature and democratic growth for free speech and expression in our midst is at stake. The reputation of the nation as it strives to promote our multimedia supercorridor and love for IT will be a national joke for all the world to feast on.

We demand for a level playing field in all action meted out to bloggers and in particular in the defamation proceedings particularly in terms of financial resources and capabilities, and secondly, that the legal rights of bloggers et al are properly protected in keeping with the imperatives of an information society and knowledge economy which Malaysia aspires to become.

Annoyed..

Why some people just farking lazy? I mean, have you ever encounter people that stop the lift, just to go one floor below or above? C’mon.. It’s only one floor.. take the staircase lah. Somemore got this kind of people, although the lift is full with people, he/she still go in, just to go one floor below/above.

Move your fat arse, no wonder there are so many super obese farking bulat people around.. (I got no issue with fat people, but I got issue with fat, lazy, annoying creatures.. they are occupying too much space, the world will be better off without them)

Do you know that Malaysia is among the fattest nation in Asia? Because we are farking lazy.. even to walk for few metres more. Just look around, people double parking everywhere. They just couldn’t park somewhere and walk to their destination. If possible, they will park exactly in front of the shop/bank/restaurant/ – it doesn’t matter if they are blocking other people car. They love it when you blast the car horn for 5 minutes and then they appear..feigning embarassment…

Oh yea, at my working place there, below my office there’s this one workshop. The boss of that shop, he farking park his car behind other car, even if there are plenty of empty spaces for him to park. He just love to park his cheebuy VIOS behind somebody’s car. One day, if I cannot tolerate his doing I will farking rammed my car into his VIOS! Or maybe not, I will just taruk him kao kao.. stop being nice guy Really, I think someone should teach him a lesson how to park at the right place…

Toll protest

There will be a gathering this Sunday January 7, at 4 pm, in front of the Sunway Pyramid shopping complex, near the Litrak office, hold by the Anti-Toll Coalition to launch a rakyat’s protest against the January 1 toll increase. Read the Screenshots report here for more details, such as why the hike was uncalled for etc.

So guys, give them a support if you are around the area or if you can make time to be there   Meanwhile, you also can do your bit, just go and sign the petition at the address below. Need your support!http://www.petitiononline.com/notolle/petition.html

I’m using LDP everyday to work. RM0.60 increase from RM1.00 to RM1.60, that’s RM1.20 for two ways per day, RM24.40 per month, assuming I use the highway 20 days per month.  A year = RM24.40 x 12 =  RM 292.80!! Fark, my salary increment per year also not that much. Most of us really dont get salary increase that much in a year. Memang sangat men-cheebuy-kan this situation. It’s a daylight robbery, farker!

New Year Resolutions

Hello people~! It’s the 4th day of New Year. How are you guys doing? How was your the New Year eve celebration? Bad start for my new year; I’m sick, down with flu + cough + sore throat and mild fever. Since 2nd of January. Haha! Maybe the shopping and driving religiously from Saturday (30/12/06) till Tuesday (02/01/06) did me no good Plus bit of alcohol consumption here and there, added with fatigue and running under the rain = sick. Hehe, my boss sure not very happy with my absence, straight after New Year holidays, taking 2 days MC. Yes, I’m at home now typing this with my running nose, occasionally coughing like an old man. What a start for a new year!! Forget about that, bad things aside - I’m coming up with my New Year resolutions for 2007! Haha! I never do any resolutions for the past 24 years, so why the need now? I guess it’s for a change. Setting mini goals for myself hoping that my coming 361 (365-4) days ahead will be better guided and directed to achieve those goals.

Living life aimlessly makes you nothing better than a salted fish. (I don’t’ know.. just crapped out that phrase bwahahaha~~!) I put up my targets/resolutions here in my blog so that when 2008 comes, I’ll put up my 2007 resolutions for auditing hehe…and you guys can kutuk me lah that time if I did badly. So the resolutions are..

1. Clear off my debts/credits – I’m in dire financial straits due to some really bad decisions I made in the past, so my priority in 2007 is to clear all my debts -bookies, friends, credit cards. And hopefully by end of 2007, I will have a +positive balance in my bank account. Now, it’s very -negative

2. Get a better physique – Ah, macam itu Daniel Craig or John Cena lah bwahahaha! Em, ok it’s pretty much impossible for me to be like them but at least for me I want to lose the extra baggage around my waist, pump some muscles, and get toned. Sikit-sikit macam Daniel Craig and John Cena lah, you understand! Oh maybe should get the physique like that Rain fella. His body is more realistic to achieve, not so bulky but need to work more on the abs.. Very nice (which is super hard to get that kind of abs.. wtf!) In order to achieve this, fully utilise the gym at my condo hehe. Planning is that every Saturday and Sunday morning, spend at least 1 hour at the gym. Hopefully by 2008, I’ll be one sexy and hawt thing so that I can walk on the beach ala-ala James Bond not like now.. Only 24 years old but body like uncle already.. cheebuy betul.

-John Cena, WWE, The Marine

 - Daniel Craig, James Bond

-RAIN, Full House, Korea’s R&B Maestro

3. Spend more time with loved one - Going to spend more time with families, gf. After started working, only back home once in a year, most of the time during Chinese New Year, so this coming Chinese New Year will take longer leave. Try to call back home at least once a week.

4. Make more friends - Keep my old friends close, make more new friends.

5. Reduce food intake after 9pm No more carbo intake after 9pm. Remember carbo = evil after 9pm. (lol..very girlishleh this one) This is necessary to achieve resolution no. 2

6. Make a passport – Yes, I’ve never go out from Malaysia. Er, I’ve been to Bukit Kayu Hitam (Thailand-Malaysia border) and standing near the causeway (Malaysia-Singapore border) hehe..  just didn’t cross the border nia. So I must get my passport done this year!

7. Get a laptop - If my financial status getting better, I’m planning to get one. My current desktop is pretty old – close to 5 years now. Or I maybe just go and upgrade my current pc

8. Get a tattoo? – I’m obssesed with tattoos. It’s not like because it’s ‘in’ now or Prison Break is the hottest serie now and Michael Scofield tattoo is so farking cool that I want to get one but I’ve been planning to get one for a long time. I kinda love body arts  especially piercing and tattoos. And I love the pain, that feeling, the rush of adrenaline when you are doing it. Sicko! (Hmm, I got my lips pierced, done by a friend when I did part time at Sugarbun Bintulu in 2001 The hole still there, haha! Last time I still wear earrings but decided to ditch it, find it bit gayish.. lol.. All the piercing, sendiri buat or with friend’s help. Equipments? Needle + eraser + tisu + ice cubes. Blog about this next time. Hehe, a boring day in the hostel back then, leading to many creative activities among the students. Thinking of getting my tongue pierced as well in future. Hidden perfectly) Come to tattoos, most of the time, I failed to get one because of lack of budget, indecisive over tattoo design and area of my body to be tattoed. And it’s more visible than piercing, should really give a careful thought over it. Maybe should do full body tattoo hahahaha! Joking. I’m giving this resolution this a chance, will blog about this in the future when I get to do it. 

-Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield, Prison Break

9. Miscellaneous – Overall, I hope to be a better person – aiming for today is better than before days and coming days will even better! Oh yea, to keep on maintaining this blog
