Hindraf is Officialy Illegal

Hindraf has been declared Illegal and a threat to nasional security!!

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 (Bernama) — The Hindu Rights Actions Force (Hindraf) has been declared an illegal organisation from today, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.

In a statement issued here, Syed Hamid said the decision to declare Hindraf as an illegal organisation was made following the ministry being satisfied with facts and evidence that showed Hindraf had and was being used for unlawful purposes and posed a threat to public order and morality.

“Based on powers vested under Section 5(1) of the Societies Act, Hindraf from today is declared an illegal organisation,” he said.

He said the order was being made as a result of monitoring and investigation on the organisation’s activities by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) and Home Ministry, since Hindraf’s inception.

Syed Hamid said if left unchecked, Hindraf would continue to pose a threat to public order, the security and sovereignty of the country as well as the prevailing racial harmony.

I wrote a article about Sun Tzu’s Art of war concept of nip it in the bud. This is a age old tactic of crisis management which is expired in my view, the Home ministry obviously doesn’t seem to feel the same way about it

他们比我还知道

我所在的部门共有五个人,从副理到平面设计就我一个女的,四男分别是副理胡子、很会吃的大卫王、很细心的龙哥和全部门年纪最小但是已经当爸爸的小帅爸爸。每天吃饭时间都是我们五个,加刚刚调去楼下客户服务部的一个小女孩。

自从怀孕了在家里就被双喜爸捧着,回到公司就被四位男同事看(kan1)着,怎么呢?比如刚怀上的时候刚好碰上办公室位置乾坤大挪移,四男的就趁我周末休假的时候大搬特搬了,等星期一回到办公室一切安好开工。

后来因为桌上的布告板歪了,想着很简单的事,就找出钉枪想把板打好。大卫王看见我找钉枪,很紧张的:“做什么?你找钉枪做什么?你想打什么?”我说找钉枪还能杀人不成,布告板歪了。他抓着钉枪:“那里?”我伸手要拿钉枪:“这里,我自己打可以了。”他抓着钉枪避开我伸过去的手不放:“去、去、去,大肚子那里可以做这些事。”然后就哒、哒、哒的把布告板弄正了。

吃饭的时候……“龙眼海底椰。”龙哥瞪起双眼:“你刚才吃饭才吃了凉瓜,想在又吃海底椰!不可以,太凉了。”

第二天吃饭……“哇,今天有萝卜汤!!!”勺了一饭碗的萝卜准备大开杀戒……“白萝卜很凉,不可以吃!”小帅爸爸说。

下午吃点心……“你做么你做么?” “什么?” “黄梨塔是你可以吃的吗?吃饼干!” 什么日子哦?

“哈!沙葛!” “不可以!凉。”

“大白菜好吃。” “不可以,凉。”

“哇!咖啡冰淇淋!” “No,咖啡因。”

“哦也,咖喱羊肉。” “No、no、no、怀孕不可以吃羊肉。”

工作的时候……打印机出了问题,我“操!”了一声,胡子说:“嘘,胎教,注意胎教。”

大卫王(大胃王)很关心的问:“你想吃什么?你想吃我们就去吃。”是你自己附近的吃腻了想出去吃好不好,不要把帐算在我肚子上。好吧,“我想吃那个你常常说很好吃的咖喱面。” “好,我们去吃。”

怀孕真好。

Call from PC to Phone for FREE with EVAPHONE


I just stumbled on a site that is able to make free calls from PC to phone. Perhaps there are other better site or method to make calls from PC to phone, but this is something I just happen to know when checking out some forums and thought of sharing it with all of you.

To be able to call from PC to phone, they’d have to use VoIP service. Voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) is a protocol optimized for the transmission of voice through the Internet or other packet-switched networks. VoIP is often used abstractly to refer to the actual transmission of voice (rather than the protocol implementing it). VoIP allows users to use regular telephone networks anywhere through any internet service provider, and avoids issues on long distance charges that are normally subject to callers. This latter concept is also referred to as IP telephony, Internet telephony, voice over broadband, broadband telephony, and broadband phone.

I’ve tested calling my land line and even my cellphone, both rang!

EvaPhone provides Internet telephone calls for free. Our site offers free VoIP call solutions: free VoIP service lets you make PC-to-phone free international calls. All you need is a computer to start making free VoIP calls using Internet to phone. Start enjoying the benefits of Internet telephony right now!

FREE PC to PHONE CALL

Using EVAPHONE is as easy as ABC. You need to enter www.evaphone.com in your browser and call the number you need. That’s all! Now you see its really easy. As long as you have a computer with a broadband connection and flash player 9.0 or higher installed, you can use EVAPHONE to make calls from your PC. Don’t need to install any third party software. It is advisable to have headset to avoid echo.

When you want to call a number from your PC, you need to watch a short advertisement first before it’ll connect you through. I believe that’s how they are able to provide free calls from PC to phone. However, after calling a few times for free, you’ll get the message “Your free call limit is exceeded for today. Would you like to register?” and “Call limit is exceeded for your IP”.

There’s a saying that goes “there is no free lunch in this world” and that is quite true. You can use EVAPHONE to call land line or cellphone for free but with time and call limit. Calling some countries can only last a few seconds but for calling United States can go up to 6 minutes! You can refer to this list on the free call duration. The free call is not really for chatting because of the call limitation but would be useful if you’re lazy to text using SMS and want to let your friend or family know about something immediately. It could also fun to prank your friends phone number if you have dynamic IP address ;)

YBhg Azman Ujang... We have a problem

Dear Abang Azman,

The Malaysian Press Institute (MPI) is a media institution that trains journalists for the country.

Your CEO, Chamil Wariya, is a seasoned writer who 'nomaded' from Utusan Melayu Group to TV3 and then to journalistic oblivion, often times due to circumstances forced by political masters who assumed and/or vacated the political musical chair. I must also say that many in the media circle do believe he also ghost-writes Dr Khir Toyo's biography once upon a time when vitamins M ran low.

To be frank, that MPI picks him up as the chief to train our journalists is not a bad thing. Being fed years on Umno's life support system over extended years and judging from his experience in producing news, Chamil is a deft hand in spinning news if situation warrants it. Which is not a bad thing, really, as there are already tycoons who do journalism as a hobby.

What is bad is when he writes a short story (cerpen) in an Umno-owned paper that spits venom. The most recent incident was last Sunday, in Mingguan Malaysia (October 12, 2008). Chamil has never been known as a cerpen auteur, let alone a polkished dark humourist.

The cerpen is titled 'Politik Baru YB J'. The stinger is embedded in the epitaph:

YB Josephine adalah ancaman terhadap keharmonian. Lebih baik riwayatnya ditamatkan supaya masyarakat berbilang kaum boleh tinggal aman damai di negara bertuah ini. Saya berkorban untuk masa depan.

YB Josephine was shot dead -- suicide-killer style -- in a Malaysian setting. But, who is this YB Josephine or YB J among us Honourable Members of Parliament?

I have strong reasons to believe that Chamil Wariya was targetting YB Teresa Kok, as the the premise-setting of his story resembles the recent life story of the affable YB. I will showcase these resemblance for you top understand the graphical details.

But I also believe Chamil was targetting DAP, or Parti Tindakan Demokratik, of which Teresa Kok is a member -- a member from the Pembangkang.

Chamil Wariya made a freudian slip when, by refering to Parti Orang Melayu as POM, he referred to Parti Orang Cina (POC) as Parti Bertindak Rakyat
, where 'tindakan' or 'bertindak' is to insinuate one of the root words for DAP as a political party.

How wrong was Chamil because in Malaysia, the real POC -- the race-based Chinese-centric political by constitution and by composition -- is none other than the MCA.

There rest of Chamil's cerpen has racist tone repeated and regurgitated throughout the story, which ended for a call for suicide-assassin to take care of the YB's life, like this, where Teresa Kok swims and floats throughout the wordy imagery:

  1. PAGI itu resah YB Josephine, yang lebih mesra dengan panggilan YB J sukar dikawal. Sepanjang perjalanan menuju ke Dewan Perhimpunan Warga Cha di ibu kota, fikirannya terganggu. Tuduhan bahawa dia anti-Islam dan anti-Melayu sungguh-sungguh menghantui perasaannya sejak malam tadi lagi.

  2. ...walaupun dilihat anti- Melayu, anti-Islam sebagai hak asasi tinggal dalam sebuah negara demokrasi. Bukankah kebebasan asasi itu dijamin oleh Perkara 5 hingga Perkara 13 Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Tetapi YB J akui demokrasi ada yang tidak sempurna dan kerap disalahgunakan oleh pihak yang berkuasa. Tetapi hakikat itu tidak menghalang rakyat menempatkan pembangkang di Dewan Rakyat. YB Josephine adalah salah seorang daripadanya.

  3. Ah, tudahan dia anti-Islam, anti-Melayu tuduhan yang melulu bentak YB J seolah-olah mahu menyedapkan dirinya.. Ia juga tuduhan yang tidak berasas, hati kecilnya bersuara lagi. Dia meyakinkan dirinya bahawa kenyataankenyataan yang dibuatnya atas nama pelbagai kaum untuk memperjuangkan kepentingan kaumnya, bukan sesuatu yang rasis. Amensty International, organisasi hak asasi antarabangsa akan menyetujuinya. Begitu juga dengan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu. Ketua Pembangkang, di Parlimen pun tidak pernah menganggapnya rasis. Yang menganggapnya rasis hanya orang Melayu di dalam Parti Orang Melayu (POM).

  4. “Aku juga bukan anti-Islam. Aku bukan anti Melayu,” pujuk hati YB J yang sudah dua penggal bergelar YB itu, mewakili Parti Bertindak Rakyat.

  5. Kata hatinya lagi: “Aku sekadar memperjuangkan kepentingan kaum aku, sama seperti pemimpin Melayu dalam POM memperjuangkan kepentingan bangsanya, sama seperti pemimpin Parti Orang Islam (POI) berjuang untuk bangsa menggunakan wajah Islamnya.”

  6. Apa yang membanggakan dia adalah perjuangan yang dianggap anti-Melayu dan anti-Islam itu kini turut disokong pengundi-pengundi Melayu di kawasan pilihan rayanya itu. Pada mulanya dia sendiri terkejut apabila dimaklumkan sebahagian besar pengundi Melayu yang merupakan 20 peratus keseluruhan pemilihan berdaftar dalam kawasan Parlimen Alam Maya telah memangkahnya.

  7. POM sendiri sedang menghadapi pergolakan yang hebat berkait dengan kepimpinannya. Pertarungan kepentingan puak-puak di dalam parti sedang mengambil tempatnya. Kalaulah tidak kerana kedudukan politik kerajaan agak lemah selepas kehilangan majoriti dua pertiga, sudah lama Operasi Lalang, seperti yang pernah dibuat pada 1987, dilaksanakan, agaknya. Mungkin juga tidak kerana di bawah kepimpinan sekarang, kerajaan mengambil sikap yang lebih liberal terhadap para pengkritiknya.

  8. ...mungkin perasaan YB J terganggu dengan tindakan kalangan yang tidak diketahui siapa mereka melempar bom petrol ke rumah keluarga ahli Parlimen Sepohon Beringin, Su Lan. Barangkali, fikir [...], YB J, bimbang kejadian yang sama boleh menimpa diri atau keluarganya.

  9. Mana tahu selepas keluarga Su Lan, bosnya YB J pula yang menjadi mangsa. Dan yang dilempar itu bom betul-betul. Meletup pula.

  10. Tetapi fikir [...], amaran kalau tidak diendahkan berbahaya. Dia teringat apa yang diceritakan berlaku pada 13 Mei 1969. Bapanya menceritakan dalam tragedi selepas pilihan raya umum pada 10 Mei itu, orang Cina dan Melayu berbunuh-bunuhan. Perjuangan yang mahu menafikan hak-hak istimewa orang Melayu dan kaum bumiputera lain yang dijamin oleh Perlembagaan Persekutuan, tidak dapat diterima oleh mereka. Kata-kata kesat dan menghina orang Melayu oleh para penyokong parti-parti pembangkang sewaktu berarak meraikan kemenangan besar di Kuala Lumpur dan bandar-bandar utama lain pada pilihan raya 1969 itu tidak dapat ditelan oleh orang Melayu. Parang yang terbiar tumpul selama ini diasah tajam. Dalam keadaan itu tercetuslah pergaduhan yang dahsyat menyebabkan Parlimen digantung dan pemerintahan darurat diisytiharkan.

  11. “Mat, saya ni anti-Melayu dan anti-Islam ke?,” YB J secara mendadak mengulang semula pertanyaannya apabila tiada jawapan daripada pemandunya.

  12. " Ini soal persepsi YB. Persepsinya begitulah. Hakikatnya YB tidak membenci Melayu tidak juga membenci Islam. YB sekadar memperjuangkan kepentingan kaum YB. Tidak salah YB berbuat demikian. Kalau YB tidak memperjuangkan kepentingan kaum YB sendiri, siapa lagi. Tetapi cara YB itu barangkali disalahertikannya.”

  13. “...YB mahu menghapuskan tulisan jawi dan ganti dengan tulisan Cina . Bagi mereka itu bukan perjuangan pelbagai kaum. Ia perjuangan satu kaum. Kalau benar pelbagai kaum, YB patut mempertahankan tulisan jawi.” [...]

Coming to a crescendo over the POM-POC polemic, and then came the suicide killing.

Apabila YB J bangun untuk menuju ke rostrum ucapan, seorang anak muda dari belakang pentas berjalan tenang menuju ke arahnya. YB J tersenyum kepadanya. Dia menyangka anak muda seketurunan dengannya ingin mengiringinya ke rostrum atau bersalaman dengannya.

YB J menghulurkan tangan. Tiba-tiba YB J tergaman dan berdiri kaku. Dia tidak percaya dengan apa yang dilihatnya. Tergenggam erat pada tangan anak muda yang seolah-olah mahu membalas salam tangan yang dihulur itu ialah sepucuk pistol jenis Revolver yang betul-betul diajukan ke arah dada YB J.

Tanpa berkata apa-apa, anak muda itu melepaskan beberapa das tembakan. Salah satu daripadanya tepat mengenai jantung YB J. Dia rebah ke lantai. [...]

Apabila pihak polis tiba di tempat kejadian, kedua-dua mereka - YB J dan anak muda yang berpakaian kemas itu, sudah tidak lagi bernyawa.

Sewaktu pemeriksaan dibuat ke atas mayat anak muda yang tidak dikenali itu, terselit sehelai nota yang ditaip rapi, ditulis dalam bahasa Kebangsaan.

And here comes the epilogue for YB J, in plain Malay:

YB Josephine adalah ancaman terhadap keharmonian. Lebih baik riwayatnya ditamatkan supaya masyarakat berbilang kaum boleh tinggal aman damai di negara bertuah ini. Saya berkorban untuk masa depan.

It's no April's Fool joke of Kee Thuan Chye-kind, as the Star Editor might be the next target:

Dia teringat buku Kee Thuan Chye yang berjudul 8 Mac The Day Malaysian Woke Up. Momentum rakyat Malaysia atau lebih tepat lagi warga bukan Melayu Malaysia yang sudah jaga dari lena itu mesti ditingkatkan. Pagi itu dia berazam untuk berbuat demikian.

Abang Azman, is this the message MPI is sending out to Malaysian journalists that you train?


Best regards
YB J (YB Jeff)

1Sentul, Jalan Sentul

We haven’t really been to Sentul all that often recently, but no doubt there have been quite a few happenings there in terms of property watching. Although not as ‘hot’ as Mont’Kiara or Damansara Somewhere, Sentul is basically an old established neighbourhood that is slowly (but surely) catching up with the times. Some of our associates that have lived and grown up in Sentul can attest to it being a nice place to live, but of course a little bit overcrowded like most parts of KL.

But many people living out Sentul may not know that about a decade ago, there were some big plans by a few developers (YTL and Bintai Kindenko being a couple of them) to carry out large scale development in the area, which includes re-developing old areas and some KTM land. But post-financial crisis (the 1997, not the one we’re facing now) these plans had to been rescaled, and in some cases, scrapped altogether (YTL is one who survived the crunch to launch their masterplan).

1sentul2

These days, smaller developers are working of any available small land in this area, going for condo since most of the plots are that size. 1Sentul is located just along Jalan Sentul, the thoroughfare that has is an integral linkway in the city since the 60’s. It is very near a few well-known schools, folks using this stretch of Jalan Sentul would be well aware of the congestion during school peak hours. The plot of land is right beside the chinese temple and there is also an old wooden house beside it. The sales people have told us that the wooden house will be demolished by another developer who has acquired the land. But of course, there is also a possibility nothing will happen since the developer isn’t the one who owns that piece of land.

1sentul

The sales people also mentioned the proposed DUKE highway will also benefit the condo since the planned Sentul Pasar interchange is very near here.

Across the road from 1Sentul is the Sri Suajaya which has been around for a good many years. In this area the are quite a few other condos, ranging from the Pelangi condo and Alampuri, to the more upmarket YTL’s Saffron in Sentul East, Casa Idaman and the Rivercity, the latter two located along Jalan Ipoh. Sentul East is not apples to apples comparison here though, that is a massive development with all the features of a mixed development compared to 1Sentul.

1sentula

But coming back to 1Sentul, there are two identical towers built on a common podium that almost squarish in shape. There are no basement parking floors, from the ground floor up until the 4th floor are parking levels for the tenants. The fifth floor is the where the common facilities are located. With the space constraint of a small land like 1Sentul, it is understandable that the facilities are not extraordinary, only what you would expect fron this price structure.

1sentulb

Each block has 4 wings arranged orthogonally like the points of a compass (but the alignment is slightly off north) and each wing has two conjoined units giving a total of 8 units per floor. This is one of their main selling points - each unit is a so-called “corner unit”. Definitely it has its benefits - more privacy, better ventilation and more window space, and fewer units per floor. There are only two types of units available, and each floor has 4 of each type. The smaller unit is 1,081sq. ft. while the larger is at a generous 2,709sq. ft. Ath 1,081sq.ft. the unit is quite large, and this makes the unit price more substantial due to the price per square foot. They’ve eschewed the idea of providing a few smaller units (usually about 800sq.ft.) on the lower floors to attract entry level purchasers. From this we can see that the target market are family units and investors. Both unit types are quite similar, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.

test

Currently the developers are offering 2 parking bays for every unit, and are also throwing in some freebies like kitchen cabinet per unit, but please check with the salespeople for the latest details.

1sentulc

We mentioned the price per square foot earlier, it is at an average of RM280psf. The price of the units start from RM305,800 up to RM903,800, bulked up because of the large build up.

Bottomline - do we like the condo? We okay with it, its more suitable for people looking to stay or invest in the area. Outsiders may not be comfortable with the pricing or surroundings, but its actually a decent buy.

I told you so!

Despite everyone saying that our Malaysian online advertising network, Advertlets are not paying, I still gave them a try and accumulated the minimum payment of RM100. This is because I still see some prominent blogger who promotes their service. My payment is now 2 and a half months due from the day I ask for my payment.

Here is what I have copied out from the FAQ, it seems that they do have the intention not paying or delaying the payment indefinitely because there is no mention of the processing time taken (I though I recall seeing some processing time)

When will I receive my money after I request a cashout?

By default we pay all publishers by check. After your account has accumulated exactly or more than RM100, you will see a cashout button. Once you’ve requested a cashout, we will send your check via mail for Malaysian publishers and Air mail for our Intern

As of today, Oct 15,2008, my payment status remains unpaid.

Did erase my username and shorten the bar so that it could be inserted on this blog easily.

I would guess that they will claim that I have click fraud and it is under investigation therefore it is slow (this is what I have read from other blog comments).

The good thing is that I have switch to other advertisements network after I got my minimum RM100 because of all the rumours. I guess I am not going back then.

Encoding a Barcode

I never knew how on earth you read a barcode and since there has been so much drama bout stuff that are made in China being dangerous etc etc…This is a useful tip to know where a product is made by simply checking out the first 3 digits of a barcode.

Since piracy is a very prevalent problem here and i was wondering how difficult would it be to change from made in China to made in Italy for instance?? Bar codes may be the next level of our checking process.

Look out for the first 3 digits and if they are of a certain number, they are from a certain country :

Malaysia - 955

China - 690 - 695

Singapore - 888

Mongolia - 865

And the full list is HERE

So the next time you have got to buy some food stuff and want to be very sure of its country of origin, print the list and take it along!! Can never be too sure :)

The new Macbook of 2008: my verdict

Macbook

The growing giant that is Apple has launched a new line of laptops. I own a Macbook myself and I must say that although I’m quite happy with it, the new version looks pretty enticing. Let’s stack them up against each other and Dell’s counterpart of the same specs.

My Macbook (bought January 2007 for USD999 w/ student discount)
Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger
1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (bought separately for USD89)
60GB HDD
Graphics: Intel GM 950 64MB VRAM
13.3″ screen

The New Macbook (launched 10/14/2008 priced at USD1299 w/o discount)
Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard
2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 1066MHz DDR3 Memory
160GB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
13.3″ screen

Dell Inspiron 13 (currently priced at USD649)
Windows Vista Home Premium
1.86Mhz Pentium Dual Core
1GB DDR2 RAM
160GB HDD
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
13.3″ screen

To summarize the specs, Dell’s Inspiron 13 easily beats Apple in the price combat; add $100 to it and you get even better specs.

As for my Macbook, it is only lacking in a good graphics card and HDD space. What about the operating system? To tell you the truth, I really like OSX. If Leopard has not been made available yet, I’m completely satisfied and content with Tiger.

So what is exactly that you are paying for if you buy the new Macbook? Aside from Leopard, which is currently the undisputed champion in the OS world (in terms of functionality), you have an array of new features.

An Aluminum body enclosure
LED Backlit display
Advanced NVIDIA graphics
New glass trackpad
Environmentally friendly aspects
And lets not forget: an awesome design

Perhaps I have missed out some other brand new features, but these are the highlights. It seems to me that you are forking out cash for bells and whistles that you can certainly live without. As for putting up with the bloated Windows Vista if you buy a Dell, there is a remedy.

So what is my final verdict? If you currently own a Macbook, don’t by the new one unless yours is really old (think OSX 10.2 or 10.3). If you live in a shoebox and don’t have a laptop yet, get the Dell. If you light cigars with dollar bills, then you’ll be fine with the latest lowest-end Macbook Pro for USD1999 as your only computer.

Additional note: I don’t care who you are, I recommend you try a Mac. Its operating system alone is enough to turn the other cheek. The learning curve is not as steep as many would think. Don’t take my word for it, Google reviews of Vista and Leopard.

Justification Behind Windows 7

Well the cat is out of the bag ,the new Microsoft OS which is due to be launched in a couple of years time. But why is it called Windows 7? There were all kinds of theories of the naming. Some very very bizarre justification but some were practical . Now the VISTA Blog’s Mike Nash explained the justification behind the the naming of the much anticipated OS.

The very first release of Windows was Windows 1.0, the second was Windows 2.0, the third Windows 3.0.

Here’s where things get a little more complicated.  Following Windows 3.0 was Windows NT which was code versioned as Windows 3.1. Then came Windows 95, which was code versioned as Windows 4.0.  Then, Windows 98, 98 SE and Windows Millennium each shipped as 4.0.1998, 4.10.2222, and 4.90.3000, respectively. So we’re counting all 9x versions as being 4.0.

Windows 2000 code was 5.0 and then we shipped Windows XP as 5.1, even though it was a major release we didn’t’ want to change code version numbers to maximize application compatibility.

That brings us to Windows Vista, which is 6.0.  So we see Windows 7 as our next logical significant release and 7th in the family of Windows releases.

So there you have it it was a simple numbering system with the OS’s that were launched which ultimately equated to the new OS being the 7th version hence WINDOWS 7

There Is No Magic

In The Magician there is a character that goes around telling everybody that there is no magic. That all practioners in different fields just have different bodies of knowledge with which they build insitutions around to make themselvse feel more important.

Hardly insightful.

True. It's a pretty old and repeated theme, often in science related circles. It extends to other fields as well. An English teacher once said to me, "The more you learn English, the less others understand you". Followed by, "People also use language for power by using these words (jargon)".

This isn't the only cause of jargon. They also exist to simplify communications for complicated concepts. I'm lucky I didn't go through the Malaysian education system which shoehorns Arts and Science students into streams. If you study different fields it'll help you see what's common across different areas of study, and be able to better understand and apply what's being worked on in one field in another.

An example of this is the design process. We were taught to:

  • Work through dozenss if possible of rough sketches and concepts first, possibly as a team, brainstorming different ideas, sometimes working apart to come out with radically different approaches.
  • Pick a few of the best, but different approaches and work on a bit detailed concepts.
  • Involve the clients early to show the initial concepts, get feedback, refine one or two of the best approaches.
  • Get back to client again for further feedback.
  • Create full scale mockup (if 3D) or detailed rendering.
  • Get more feedback.
  • Work on final prototype.

...

Sound familiar? Agile development, Editorial workflow, Scientific process.. etc. Jargon for similar concepts.

There is no magic.

You'll see that most good developers know a few programming languages also. It's important to take a step back sometimes and observe how other people in fields do things. Quite often, they're working on different sort magic, but underneath it, they're often trying to achieve solutions to similar problems in a different way that you can learn from. In my final year, I studied with a physics student. Common language was mathematical models, though mine were far simpler. I also studied with friends doing IT, CS, linguistics, anthropology and philosophy. This has helped immensely, even if it was not obvious then. For example on the topic of Quality, it's philosophical even. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is one such book that may help to better understand issues that effect all of us. When you struggle to define something, such as "What Makes A Senior (Devleoper)" then, maybe you can learn a lot from fields of study that have had to grapple with trying to understand something that's hard to define.

Other random notes:

  • Paul Krugman won this year's Nobel Economics prize. Here's an autobiographical article on how he works: http://www.princeton.edu/~pkrugman/howiwork.html

Priorities

The world faces on of the worst financial crisis its ever seened. Super powers of the world have rung the alarm bells to take precautions in anticipation of a crisis that could have a huge impact on the worlds economy and its ocupants. Singapore has declared recession but the government of Malaysia seems oblivious to this ugly wave that is hitting the world.

In a strage scenario, after a month and a half break at the parliament the law makers made their way back to the parliament to get straight into business. The weird thing was none of the ministers, deputy ministers were there! The opposition were calling for a review of the budget which was tabled before the Ramadhan break to be reviewed as it became obsolete since the current world economic situation. In all honesty we definitely need a new or improved budget to ensure we are not hit that hard by this crisis.

The pakatan MP’s were basically having a concersation between themselves and the speaker while the backbenchers club were mere spectators. Im shocked at this news!! Seriously, are the government serious about the rakyat or are they just too confident of their abilities??

The Pakatan law makers were not interested in politickling but to join forces with the government to come up with the best ossible solution in handling this crisis which the world is facing??

Is the UMNO elections more important than the economy and the well being of the rakyat? Please stop messing with our future and get back to work! You folks earn a healthy sallary and the rakyat have trusted you with leading the nation but we do not have room for arrogance,ignorance and ego!!

Watch the parliamentary sessions which was pretty much a sneak peak of what a new governemnt might look like(minus the seating arrangement)

I am drooling over this….

Access Linux Platform or ALP was originally Palmsource, the software arm of Palm when it split from the parent company. Palmsource was bought up by Access, a Japanese company. ALP is a next-gen mobile operating system which is based on Linux but has a Palm compatibility layer so basically all your old Palm applications should run.
The problem for ALP is that there have been no hardware manufacturers which have adopted ALP as the OS. Until now.
The picture you see is the Emblaze Mobile Edelweiss, an ALP powered phone, manufactured by Sharp and designed by Emblaze Mobile, an Israeli start-up. According to Brighthand, the phone will be launched soon in Russia. Now why am I drooling over this? Just take a look at the specs:

I guess it remains to be seen how well this phone performs but if it does, and with these features I think it might be an iPhone killer. I don’t know what the Palm Nova device will be like in 2009, but if the Nova’s hardware specs don’t come close to Edelweiss’, it’s Bye-Bye Palm, Hello Emblaze!

Kiva helps people to fish rather than giving them the fish. The loaner do NOT get any interest but the biggest profit is that you changed a life by micro-lending.

I joined Kiva since 2007 but never been an active loaner before Oct 2008. Shame on me!

Blog Action Day suggested that bloggers donate their earning of the day for charity. I made 4 Kiva loans USD$25 each. Check out my lender page.

Apple’s spotlight on notebooks

Get ready your credit cards, because it is that time again. It’s yet another Apple special event. This time the spotlight are on notebooks.

All the rumors site and blurry spy shots photos are spot on this time. Apple revamp their notebook line just as expected.

Apple Laptop Event 004

Here is a recap of what went down over at Apple’s little notebook event.

First Steve Jobs starts with the usual boring stuff. (Ed’s note: Boring? How did you resist El Jobso’s RDF?) A recap on the Mac line and how well it is doing in sales. One interesting note, might just be a joke, they mentioned that one of the reason for the success of the Mac line is “Vista”. Ouch.

Then Steve invites Jonathan Ive on stage, the grandmaster of industrial design, Apple’s design guru. What else but to talk about how these portable machines of beauty are made. It is vary rare to see Jonathan Ive being in the limelight.

Apparently Apple had made a new discovery in designing notebooks. They found out that if they started with a thick piece of aluminum and cut out the MacBook enclosure, it makes it more rigid and solid.

I think this unibody enclosure design is what the ‘brick‘ rumors was referring to. Will write about this unibody enclosure design once we have more info.

As expected, new notebook was announced. MacBook Pro looks stunning with its seamless glass, thin LCD backlit screen. And to power such stunning display is NVIDIA new mobile graphics processors.

The MacBook Pro has not just one but two of the NVIDIA chip. One the GeForce 9400M integrated and the other one is a GeFource 9600M GT 256MB / 512MB GDDR3. Both are included in the MacBook Pro. You can choose between those two.

Apple Laptop Event 047

For longer battery life use the integrated GeForce 9400M. For full on fastest, smoothest and clearest graphics switch on the GeFource 9600M GT 256MB / 512MB GDDR3. Expect this feature to be copied by other notebook manufactures some time soon.

The MacBook Pro also will come with a large multitouch glass trackpad. There are no buttons. Yes Steve hate buttons. The whole pad becomes a button or a multiple of buttons all defined by software.

Multitouch trackpad now support not one, not two, not three, but four finger gestures. If Apple keeps this up we will soon be running out of fingers to touch.

There is also small updates on the MacBook Air, now comes with larger disk capacity, the GeForce 9400M graphics chip and a display port.

Apple also introduce new Cinema Display. A stunning 24 inch display. Looks just like the iMac screen. 24-inch LED backlit display, 1920 x 1200 resolution and stereo speakers.

The ‘One More Thing’ today is the revamped MacBook. The revamped MacBook has the same features and look as the new MacBook Pro, only smaller and lower specs. It only comes with the GeForce 9400M graphic chip. However Apple is keeping the ‘old’ white MacBook in their line-up and dropping the price to $999.

Apple Laptop Event 098

Then Steve end his keynote and followed by the Q&A session, but before that, he made it clear that his is very much healthy and well. 110/70, that his blood pressure. So no worries ok, Steve is here to stay.

All credits to Engadget for a superb live-blogging coverage of the events. Visit its live-blogging page for a good recap.

This is just a short brief of what went on during the Apple event. Expect a full in-depth report of the MacBook and MacBook Pro with Malaysian availability and pricing on MyMacBUZZ, soon.

Check out Apple.com, and try not to drool too much. Here’s a handy side-by-side comparison of the entire MacBook line.

Updated 6.15 am to include more details and images.

Update: Steve’s keynote video is up on Apple’s site.

Of course I didn’t understand a word he said but somehow those words were embed in me. I’ve always thought it was pious remark made by Muhammad PBUH. Unfortunately I was wrong, it was Socrates’s.

Unlike my reverse engineering habit, reading isn’t my natural wont. I used to hate reading. I prefer writing. Out of that audacity, I found myself in darkness rather “Katak di bawah tempurung“. So I made that extra mile to read ‘useless’ penning (mostly dad’s business magazine).

The more I read, the bigger my curiosity grew. Business mags could no longer cater this addictiveness.

I now read a hatful of blogs. Some useful, some are lame but most are beneficial. If subscribing to anonymous blogs means stalking, then I’m a successful pro stalker.

Same Script Different Outcome

Children and Adults Making Way Into PM's Open House

Children and Adults Making Way Into PM

Hindraf has been back in the front line lately with the whole PM’s open house “biadap” episode with police now in the equation to add to their misery. Before i get into how a the same script had 2 different outcome ,let me share a something which i found pretty amusing.

K Shanthi , the wife of Hindraf chairperson P Waythamoorthy, Hindraf information chief S Jayathas and Selangor coordinator K Tamilselvam were interrogated today for illegal assembly under Section 27 (5) of the Police Act, as well as trespass under Section 447 of the Penal Code.

What illegal assembly and what trespass? It was a open house for heavens sake!

Anyway…back to the script

Scenario 1

Hindraf visited the PM’s open house during Hari raya. Like any bunch of friends who want to go for a open house, they gathered at a point and went in together. The difference between the rest, they wore similar attire and they had a gift for the PM which was a home made Raya card, a teddy bear and letter for the PM.

So they go for the PM’s open house, they were greeted by the police who tried to stop them, interrogate them, confiscate the card(damaging in the process) and hence caused a commotion. That naturally was not the prettiest of sights and eventually didn’t turn out as planed.

Ok..Now you may think that i was not there and how can i say what happened. True, but thanks to the power of the Internet there is a recording of what happened at the PM residence which you can see for your self on what really happened.

Part 1 Part 2

Now you tell me what you saw there?! There were children, old,young and in a nutshell Malaysians who wanted to see the PM like the rest of those attending the open house. If the police who are on the payroll that yours and my tax money is from stops,instigates & aggravates .What kind of outcome are you really expecting? Im suprised at the way it was handled and more than that.. The reports that came out of it which made those dressed in orange look like trouble makers!

Ok now lets look at the exact same script in a different scenario

Scenario 2

The exact same group visited Dato Sri Anwar’s PKR Hari Raya open house last weekend at Kelab Sultan Sulaiman at Kg Baru. Like the previous open house, the group met outside the venue where they were chatting up the other Malay friends wishing them Selamat Hari Raya with the passerby’s wishing them the same and some chanted “Makkal Sakhti” in the process.How do i know you may ask? I was there! :)

Hindraf greeted by law makers

Hindraf greeted by law makers

They were greeted outside by YB S Manikavasagam and YB Zuraidah Kamaruddin and eventually started making way into the venue of the celebrations

As they were walking in there were applause for them and the other Malaysians were chanting Makal Sakhti and Hindraf wishing everyone Selamat Hari Raya. They go in and greet the Pkr leaders and when DSAI and Datuk Seri Wan Azizah came out to greet them after finishing their prayer.They then handed DSAI the Raya card,gift and a letter they moved out of the main canopy area where they some went to get some food to eat while others enjoyed the company of friends that were there as well.

They then toke some pictures with together at the field with a brilliant view of KLCC behind it together with some of the law makers and left the event.

I witnessed the proceedings and it was very peaceful,light hearted,fun and very Malaysian! There was no drama and everyone went back happy!

Contrasting difference isn’t it??

It was the exact same script but 2 very very different outcome. If you were at the Kelab Sultan Sulaiman that day and didn’t know that it was a Raya open house, you would have thought it was a Merdeka party or something because everyone was having a great time. The food that was served was muhibah! There was a very good mix of friends that were there as well!

Well there you have it!

You decide and tell me what your thoughts are after reading the 2 events and the outcome of the events.

My view is that we should definitely be tolerant towards people grievances and needs. We cannot ignore them jsut because they are not the majority or just because they are a threat to a certain group. I’m praying that things get better for the sake of the nation because we are all Malaysians and we are one!

马华领袖如狼似虎?

直至今天,波力才算真正见识到马华领袖的威力!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;前副首相公正党实权领袖拿督斯里安华(民联公正党)对垒新闻部长拿督阿末沙比里(国阵巫统)辩论油价 - 圆满完成&lt;br /&gt;前槟州首长丹斯里许子根博士(国阵民政党)对叠现任槟州首长林冠英(民联民主行动党)辩论土地舞弊案 - 顺利进行&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;马华党选候选人政见辩论:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;马华党选在党员及民间掀起了广泛的讨论,认为马华高职候选人必须同台论政,以明党代表视听。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;某付费电视台之中文频道主动发起一项中文政治辩论,提供平台。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;总会长候选人蔡锐明坚持双语辩论,以体现总会长能力,电视台不妥协,拉倒,蔡却遭到另一位候选人耻笑。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;另一电视台NTV7举办双语辩论,力邀双造参与,总会长候选人翁诗杰交通部长说他很忙,没空应酬。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;署理总会长候选人黄家泉更绝,说他只管竞选,绝不辩论!以前就先说好了,说好了的东西不能更改,要守信用!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;NTV7 一项新闻时间的民调显示超过80%的人民希望看到总会长候选人公开辩论。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;坊间流传进谏简讯,要翁与黄重新考虑参与公开论政,以让代表可以更明智的投选领袖,造成翁黄两人非常大的压力。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;TV2 《你怎么说?》节目播放总会长候选人政论特集,民调结果蔡得56%,翁得44%。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;隔天提名日,记者问翁感想,翁放话说有人造马,他坚决认为他只所以会输是因为没有造马!(意思就是说,如果他赢的话也顶多是造狗、造牛、造猪,总之绝不是造马就对了。而且似乎对造马的方式知之甚详,有如亲睹。波力当天也花了几毛钱投了一票,就不知道算不算也在造马?)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;传言 (蔡)56% vs. 44% (翁)的民调的确动过手脚,原本应是(蔡)83% vs. 17% (翁)。(难道电视台怕蔡得民意过度倾向蔡锐明,将导致「同情票」流向老翁,以向老蔡呛声?波力觉得电视台应该还不至于这般无聊...)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;NTV7 表示尽管有些候选人只想竞选不想辩论,但电视台将履行承诺,节目将如时直播,但总会长那一部份只得从权,改为政见论坛,而署理总会长的环节则仅让两人对辩。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;14/10/2008 署理总会长辩论直播当天下午,NTV7 发表文告,指获“大马通讯与多媒体委员会”“劝告”,禁止该节目直播,改为审核延播,意即必须经过电检局审查裁剪后,方才考虑批准播出。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;看完整个事件,您是否觉得马华当权者真是无所不能?也有一说,马华领袖候选人个个如狼似虎,政见可能危害国家稳定,所以言论政见不应公开直播,以免扰乱社会次序!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这个世界充满变数,不久后您肯定会看见&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;被打压者叫屈,但声音必不比当权者喊冤来得大&lt;/span&gt;,毕竟,媒体还不想提早关门,至少,编辑也不想太早退休... 唉~ 这就是马来西亚~ 波力无奈,高呼三声:「MALAYSIA BOLEH!」,就如当天提名时,翁王驾临,&lt;a href="http://chinapress.com.my/topic/2008mca/default.asp?dt=2008-10-14&amp;amp;art=1014aa61.txt" target="_blank" title="持票皇帝反为奴,民选领袖成圣主?"&gt;众奴高呼:「万岁、万岁、万万岁!」&lt;/a&gt;一般。&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

肥媳妇终须见公婆

今天是马华党选提名日,波力当然不会错过如此盛会;一大清早就偕同区团的署理团长及秘书大人一路北上,好为领袖们加油打气,其实波力又没有提名,到现场除了凑热闹,更大的目的是为了见见神交已久的网络冤家,今天大有斩获,虽然无缘尽览,倒也满足了一顿眼福盛宴,得快快将第一次见面的印象写下来,永存网中,以免将来看麻了,忘了今天的感触,就太对不起自己了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第一位见到的是&lt;a href="http://marcustan88.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="《柔情铁汉》陈键汉"&gt;键汉&lt;/a&gt;,早前已有电话联系,再加上这小子超爱自拍,真人虽未见过,但素描倒是早已在脑子里勾划了几遍,所以在会场中一通电话,就把他给认了出来,倒是键汉看到一个脑满肠肥的大胖子迎面而来,眼神中闪烁着些许惊异之色,一付不知所措的憨样,真是有趣;但他见多识广,只一刹那间就恢复了可爱的笑容,将手伸得老长的,只不过隔着椅子波力才不想和他握手,远远的绕了一圈,回到他面前时,已能谈吐自若,都谈些什么呢?秘密。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;经由键汉的指引,波力看到了第二个从文字里跳出来的人物,波力想说,整个马华党员的博客圈子里,波力首推此人!其他人得罪莫怪,谁叫他写得这么好?看他的文章几个月,早已有了深厚的感情,从文字里去想像的&lt;a href="http://musailec.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="《勒不思书》张以勒"&gt;以勒&lt;/a&gt;应是粗旷豪迈中不乏细腻的美男子,一见真身,虽然依旧是美男子一名,但却多带一份书卷气;他很忙,是真的很忙,绝不是准备代表某部门去剪彩开幕那种;所以一点都没察觉到波力在远远的一旁对他细细打量;心中有一句话,不知该不该说,这人的气质,搞政治工作真是太浪费了,当个时事点评人,一定红!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;只匆匆问候了一句,就将以勒给「放生」了,键汉在场负责接领以勒的文件,即然以勒向我们走了来,键双自然也就不能闲着,波力别的不怎么样,做人倒是挺识趣的,二话不说,转过头去另寻新欢,哪知才一转身,这么巧,从门外走进了一帧照片,算一帧照片吧?因为他长得和波力看过的一帧照片着实太像了!我必须声明,这绝对不是一句废话,是波力打从心里蹦出来的一句感叹!怎么说呢?一般上网络的照片都会和真人相去几分,但这人的模样,却是只要瞥上一眼,就能入心,着着实实的一模一样!这类人很吃亏,人生中有两样东西不能兼得:「拍照和做坏事」!真可怜~ 他是--"&lt;a href="http://www.wretch.cc/blog/ThinkingHome" target="_blank" title="《友目共睹》"&gt;陈绍谦&lt;/a&gt;"。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;刚聊了几句,又发现了另一个网络死党、党内同志、志同道合的&lt;a href="http://keykok.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="《曾聒》"&gt;振国&lt;/a&gt;兄,振国兄有参选,忙着四处哈啦,我倒是觉得他哈啦的本事不太及得上波力,这一点在拉票拜票时肯定要吃暗亏!同时间,波力又看到了另一个对他咬死不放、死缠烂打的LP王假博客在他身边幌来幌去,好像深怕振国比他多拉了两张票似的,看了有点呕意,连俊俏的振国都给他整衰了,那人的文章很烂,部落格里又多是一些论文级的PLP大作,外加一些含住领袖自抬身价的照片,不看也罢,就不介绍给大家了,免得弄脏了大家的眼睛,不如多看看振国那不怕死的骡子写的还比较爽!波力在此拜托大家,有票的尽量在17号那天投给振国,记得!投给振国,不然也投给传益,至少看起来顺眼得多!投给LP王?不如将选票烧灰化水生吞了省事!搞不好还有点补呢!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这时,大人物一个个到场,在众大人物中,又见博客一名,那是刚加入博客生涯的&lt;a href="http://wyman73.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="《平凡人的声音》姚伟豪"&gt;平凡人&lt;/a&gt;,这平凡人不是很平凡,他就是大名鼎鼎马青组织秘书姚伟豪!平凡人与波力相交多年,是个讲义气的真朋友,这个朋友你可以不交,但看在波力的面子上,就随便给他一票吧!反正副团长可以选四个那么多,就要你一票投给这家伙,不会太过份吧?别的不讲,就看在这人重义气的份上!再加上竞选副团长的,论资历论表现,他算是最够格的一个!服务马青多年,从没偷懒过,这年头,要找肯做事又讲义气的人不多了吧?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;除了平凡人,现场还让波力遇到了久别的&lt;a name="kianheng" href="http://yeongkianheng.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="开口见心, 格局渐新 "&gt;杨建兴&lt;/a&gt;,建兴此人踏实厚道,虽与波力交情不深,甚至和波力在州选时打过对台,最他妈的还是不识抬举!我的博客连了他这么久,还是麻麻的没有连我!但无可否认的,此人可用!这次他打马青中委,顺便帮他卖个小广告,大家手头票源松动的话,也帮帮忙投他一票,投他,是选个会做事的人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在三春礼堂里待得闷毙了,拉了区团署理往外钻,在人群中找到了&lt;a href="http://uncleboo66.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="《阿武叔》"&gt;阿武叔&lt;/a&gt;,阿武叔可是和波力一同上过酒店的「峇利」,这回他以身示法,带了众基层的疏文上断头台,波力能力有限,帮不上什么大忙,只替他找了份文件充数,算是聊表心意,但必须声明的是,签字的人可是斤两十足的头号人物,这次冒着死罪划押,是连命都卖进去了的!不是为了什唠子「呛声」那种幼稚活儿,只为了配合魏总团长的号召,提供基层意愿,促进民主进程!他可是在熟读阿武叔参选宣言之后,才决定签署提名的!最重要的是,提倡优质竞选风气,让有意竞选的人专心致志在单项党务上;毕竟,马青与马华常有立足点及视点的不同而有所坚持,若一人想鱼与熊掌兼得,又身在团职高位,必定在决定性的关头有所顾忌!因此,真正的「能」者是谁?波力怕讲了有损各位的智慧,不用多说了,在马青,选专心一致、能力与人格并重的郑典武吧!在马华,选声威俱实的拿督代表马青呛声吧!一举两得,马青大赚!何乐而不为?当然,阿武叔说他志不在赢,只要能否决三份二的多数票足矣!至少马华总秘书以后不会变成巫统的芭啦啦!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;完成使命,让阿武叔身拥两大州提名之后,竟然看到一个靓仔和阿武叔亲热,这人看到阿武叔玉照,认得尊容,但阿武叔和波力却万分怀疑曾经认识过这种明星般脸孔的人物!是谁呢?那只憋得疯了的熊猫-&lt;a href="http://bearfoong.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="《憋疯》"&gt;BearFoong&lt;/a&gt;,憋疯铁不知道熊猫晶晶的DNA刚被解读出来,和狗比较接近,至于Bear这种动物嘛,可就相差十万八千里了... 所以,改掉那张常用的熊猫 Avatar 事在必行!说实在的,憋疯帅呆了,其他人没得来!尤其是以勒,排第三!那第二是谁?嘿嘿~ 不告诉你!憋疯是马星社不带帽的皇帝一族,如此盛会,自然忙得不可开交,但还是不忘和波力深情相拥了一下下,说好一得空就一起喝茶;但他真的很不得空...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这时已是中午一点半,波力有饭局没良心,叫阿武叔自己执生,和区团同志吃饭去也~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;饭后出来呼吸新鲜空气,阿武叔也搞掂了提名大事,过来谈话,还热情的介绍了他的支团团长给波力认识,他是博客圈外人,波力不方便在这里说出他的高姓大名(其实不是实情!是他客气的说波力文章写得好,他有常来看,波力除了爽死了之外,还打算在这里放个陷阱,看他是道听途说之后来安慰波力的,还是真的有来看;如果有的话就自己坦白自我介绍,如果没有,那波力就自己白爽了.... 警告阿武不得通风报信!)。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;话说阿武叔的再出现让波力有了个偷溜的籍口,和阿武叔一股脑儿窜了出去找嘛嘛档喝咖啡,去了一间Nasi Kandar,在确认不是Ahmad开的之后,一伙人就地叼烟长谈,喝咖啡是简称,天气热,喝的没有一杯是咖啡,都是汽水,谁付账,波力可爱的区团署理。就饮间,阿武电话响,他神神秘秘的告诉波力有一人赶着前来相会,在期待之间,来了一...一... 一头熊猫!真的!憋疯不在,否则波力一定要他让出那只熊猫 Avatar!因为只要你有看过熊猫,肯定能将它和坐下来喝茶的&lt;a href="http://sctoh.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="《与您分享》春天"&gt;春天&lt;/a&gt;兄联想在一起!那对超趣致的黑眼圈,让波力很想提醒春天... 别纵欲过度~ 呵呵~!但在知道了春天兄的专业之后,波力才知道是自己多疑了,春天是个软体工程师,有这样的「造型」的确相当合情合理,嘻嘻~;一如所料,春天这人正义凛然,若生在古代,称之『春夫子』。我超喜欢这种人,原因?「无毒!但是真丈夫」,一辈子交上一两个这种朋友,足矣!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;后记:此行除了见不到&lt;a href="http://kamdezheng.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="《阿甘的窝》"&gt;阿甘&lt;/a&gt;和&lt;a href="http://shuixinglang.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="《水兴浪》"&gt;水兴兄&lt;/a&gt;有点失望之外,却有一人让波力倍感窝心,话说在和春天、典武一行人吹牛车炮的时候,波力接到一通憋疯捎来的电话,问我们是否尚在提名现场,虽然他职责所在脱不了身,但还是抽空寻找波力等人的踪迹,真是有心!惟待众人回到会场时,提名已进入了尾声的高潮时段,波力不敢滋扰他的工作,一直到抽签结束,波力随着同伴离开时才拨了一通电话向他道欠,换来的不是责备,而是「一路平安,小心驾驶」的叮咛!感恩!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(总之一句话:「&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;初逢乍见,尤如三世之交&lt;/span&gt;」,写部落格赚不到其他的什么,&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;赚到知交&lt;/span&gt;!要命的是波力行色匆忙,竟然忘了带相机,少了留影做衬,一大憾事!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

闲来无聊评简讯文学

前天下午收到某位友人转来的简讯,内容是这样的:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;『搞错没有啊,翁诗杰劳禄大半生,&lt;br /&gt;身家产业只有千万,投资屋业有错咩?&lt;br /&gt;老蔡这也看不过眼,拿这来大作文章,&lt;br /&gt;真是下三烂手段,呸!』&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;内容相当大众化,都是一些颇具地方色彩的文字,所以尽管没什么文法可言,甚至还有些错别字,但胜在很羔胚店,语句及口吻还是非常有「说服力」的,是则人人都看得懂的佳作!只可惜稍微欠缺了点逻辑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首先我必须说这绝不算是一篇抹黑的简讯,只是一则有意煽起「同仇敌忾」正义感的简讯,可惜的是,文中的两名主角却无一受惠,难道总会长一职会有奇军突起,来打三角大战?不然作者怎会如此作文?首先,说翁诗杰搞产业的是汤大律师,又不是蔡锐明,即便他的特别秘书和汤大律师一齐拍了张照片,但为的是联合竞选,又不是旨在搅屎,他紧张些什么?第二,有谁规定了劳禄(碌)大半生的人就一定得身家千万了?事实上这并不容易,尤其是一位三十岁开始就全职为党「无私奉献」的人。第三,投资屋业当然没有错,汤律师也没说他错了,只是提出来供大家参考,看看马华党员是否应该要求领袖自摊身家,以为将来的清明廉政背书,好成为大马政客的榜样,如此用心,难道「有错咩?」,应该不能被视为下三烂(滥)的手段吧?作者在最后还咳了一声,吐出口唾沫『呸!』,相当不卫生。。。 「呸」?? &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;难道领袖的清白如此不堪一击?敏感得连自己党同志都碰触不得吗?&lt;/span&gt;到底是堂堂正正的拿出来谈的人比较下三滥,还是发不具名简讯的人比较下三滥呢?真让人糊涂了。。。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;竞选期间的简讯奇招层出不穷,不一而足,波力以内容为别,大致屈指一算,计有以下几个流派类别:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;负面流派:&lt;/span&gt;抹黑类、置毒类、煽情类、似是而非类、定时炸弹类、玉石俱焚类、损人利己类。。。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;正面流派:&lt;/span&gt;政见类、激励类、自荐类、温情慰问类、称兄道弟类、成绩单见家长类、自命清高类。。。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;另类流派:&lt;/span&gt;诙谐幽默类、不知所云类、自以为是类、攀龙附凤类、立场飘浮类、引人遐思类、团队无敌菜单类。。。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另外,简讯的文体尚分多种,有者好使诗词歌赋,有者爱用五言、七言绝句(多是些牵强附会,不入流的打油诗。),有的是长篇大论的散文论述,甚至有些还用了章回小说的连载形式,大作疲劳轰炸!当然,其中部份是使用电脑系统匿名群发的,也有人用自己那台可怜的小手机代劳;总之,方法不胜枚举,洋洋大观,赚死了电讯公司的老板。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;波力有个不变的衡量法则:谁遭到坏话诋毁,我就给他的对手扣分,至于主角呢?心中早已有数,也许很高,也许很低,分数保持不变。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

跛脚鸭都拉

西方人有一句话,东方人翻译了会很不爽,叫做 Lame Duck,华文翻译成「跛脚鸭」,其实 Lame Duck 的本意并不那么坏,按照懂得英语的洋人解释,Lame Duck 的意思是指『那些即将去职的官员,比如民选官员或其集团,在他们竞选失败后而获胜者尚未上任前得以暂时继续留任;或指一些已宣布下台,但是时辰未到,仍继续在位的领袖。』这在过往的马来西亚政坛官场并不多见,然而在经历了 308 政治海啸的洗礼之后,各党各派,各位各职却是屡见不鲜,有个红毛直的领袖在国人对这个词汇还不是很熟悉的时候,不小心用了它来形容某位自诩处于这种状态的另一位领袖,结果让一群不知其所以然的不学无术之辈骂得狗血淋头,真是曝露了国人英文水平普遍低落的事实。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今天首相阿都拉在大家「兴奋的期待」下,终于也自判了这个身份,一时之间,波力惊觉「世态炎凉」这句老话真是古人的智慧结晶!这边厢首相才一宣布,镜头一转,那边厢一群原本对他骂得最兇的专家学者、政客、评论家竟已开腔说了一堆感恩惜福、歌功颂德的言论;有的说他并非无心改革,只是时不予他,有心无力;有的则说他是相比之下最廉洁干净的巫统领袖,下台了真是太可惜;有的把他讲成马来西亚新闻自由之父,更甚者,还有人将他捧成大马的戈尔巴乔夫!是开创我国民主之路的伟大领袖!听在耳里,嘲讽更甚于赞誉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;波力想说,首相这个职务,无能者不得居其位,居其位而又无能以驾驭,就是对老百姓最残忍的一件事,国之大者,以民为先,如今国人生活于水深火热之中,皆因其优柔寡断,滥用奸臣,纵容贪官污吏之失,没有籍口,无法推托,不能免罪!然而值此当儿,却见如林冠英之流,为他道尽好话,目的昭然,一来好为将来攻击其接任者之方便铺路,二则亦为自己往后的过失预先说情,三来又可换回泱泱大度的免费造型;观其动机,实在引人作呕!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;须知「百足之虫,死而不僵」,纵观历史,并非每一位无能的失势领袖,都愿意平静的转移政权,反而往往因为濒死的一击,酿成非常恶劣的后果,今天阿都拉能自觉大势已去,引咎辞官归故里,不在末期作无谓的挣扎,不可谓非百姓之福;希望他能就此归隐,以免国家再添纷乱,扰民生计,使得老百姓无法在重创之余将养生息,当然,波力更希望他能在这段跛脚鸭的日子里,矢志推行他所承诺的三大制策,若然实现,波力不仅无怨于其失,尚愿崇其功,告诉波力的子孙后代,马来西亚有位伟大的民权革命家,名字叫做尊敬的阿都拉。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

和阿鸡谈『我们』那个卫生部长

其实阿鸡近来也相当烦恼,几个亲戚朋友都相继得了基孔症进了医院,甚至还有一位老朋友因为基孔症并发心脏衰竭而辞世,阿鸡觉得自己真是衰透了,因为根据卫生部的报告,直到九月二十二号为止,全马只有不到两千个人得患这个疾病,而他一甘榜就占了将近两成,你说倒不倒楣?当然卫生部的数据是不可能会骗人的!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;谈到卫生部,阿鸡就有话说:「『你们』那个卫生部长真是能干!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「是『我们』那个卫生部长。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「不敢不敢,你留着自己用好了,我不需要!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「怎么啦?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「他反应那么快,中国一爆出毒奶事件才不到一个星期他就开始工作了,人家新加坡都得花上一整天才有动作呢!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「那应该说新加坡政府比较强啊?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「这你就不懂了,连台湾部长都说新加坡是『鼻屎儿大』的国家,按面积计算,连他们都要花上一整天,我们至少也得要花个四百八十多天嘛。」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「胡扯,我们的国家各地都设有化验室,哪需要这么久?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「那你说,有多少样产品被送进去啦?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「听说开始时是两百多种,现在是四百多种。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「四百多种中国乳制品被送进去检验噢,那现在几份报告出炉了?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「好久没有新消息了,上次有二十六样已经化验出来了。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「用了多久的时间?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「两三个星期。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「需要那么长的时间吗?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「四百多种吔!你以为是四五种吗?得一个个来啊!」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「我问你,如果你烧完一柱香要半个小时,那同时烧三十柱香得花多少个小时?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「白痴,当然也是半个小时啦!你搵我笨啊?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「不是,是『你们』那个卫生部长搵嚟笨!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「。。。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「其实,他还有公布其他一些报告,只不过你不知道罢了。」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「是吗?怎么我在报章上都没看到?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「怎么没有?今天的报纸就有报导!」,说着抓起桌头那份星x日报,一翻放在波力面前,左手一指:「喏~!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「不是吧?这是名牌奶粉的广告吧?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡往下方一指,波力还真个看到了尊敬的部长的名字,上头写着:「卫生部公布可安全食用奶粉名单」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「这是...」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「检验报告。」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「那~ 那~ 那些有问题的呢?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「有『你们』那个卫生部长拍胸口担保的都没问题,有问题那些还没验出来!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「那意思是说,现在我的小孩只有喝这个品牌的奶粉才没问题啰?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「其他的你可以博一博,应该不会死。」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「不是吧?至少新加坡验出来的大白兔奶糖肯定有事吧?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「那当然!那个大白兔奶糖新加坡上星期的新闻有播,你以为他不看电视的啊?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「难怪,难怪他前两天有开记者会隆重宣布!」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「当然得隆重宣布!那可是会死人的吔!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「那之前又不宣布?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「之前新加坡新闻又还没报,谁会知道连大白兔奶糖都会有事?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「他们不是有送进去化验吗?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「有问题的比较难化验,所以报告还没出来。」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「。。。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「其实,新加坡也好不到哪里去。」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「怎么说?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「那间在台湾出事的期伟合记不就是新加坡厂家在马来西亚制造的吗?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「卫生部长也拍胸口担保那些货都是台湾送来包装的,不关我们的事啊。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「是的,反正吃死的是台湾人,不关我们的事,所以免检可也。」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「卫生部长真是善待我们,能活在马来西亚感觉好有安全感~ 真幸福~ !」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「#$~ *&amp;*@~^% &amp;#$ @~....」&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

今天打开网报,看到马青槟城州分团团长翁协文与宣布竞选马青总秘书的郑典武划清界线的报导,不觉失笑,不是开心的笑,而是无奈的苦笑;这一点都不在波力算外,波力亦对翁协文团长所面对的压力表示由衷的惋惜,毕竟身为一州之团长,必须多方面为州分团的处境着想,若不站出来说话,往后难免还会受到各种不可预期的难堪对待,不为自己,单为州组织,也不得不将话说得绝一些,其实翁协文并无需使用如此强烈的字眼,因为由头至尾郑典武根本就从未说过出来竞选与他有任何的瓜葛,但在记者的追问之下,他却暴出了划清界线这样一句话,直让人有种被红卫兵打压逼供的感觉,而魏同志盼望马青脱离集权强势的一片苦心更因此蒙上了阴影,着实可惜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;尽管马青总团长候选人开明的表示,欢迎有意为党作出贡献的同志可以自由参选,但由于之前已经由「协商」产生出一份「公认」的名单,因此各州团长甚至区团团长,早已被一陇沉重的铁幕深深的牢笼着,在加上郑典武日前作出挑战的对象,是寻求偷鸡连任、老树盘根的拿督级人马,正如波力先前所做的分析,别说估量有意出来竞选的同志可得到多少选票,即便是想得到中央代表的提名,都不是一件简单的事!我们不知道得同情这些「团长们」的无助或有心无力或身不由己,还是得斥责他们的无能及失去的勇气?但一个非常明显的情况是,说民主,喊自由,对今日的马青而言,绝对只不过是嘴里唱来自爽的东西;连合情、合理、合法的竞选提名都没有胆量,那更别说什么民族大业、国家兴亡了。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

又见阿鸡

&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com/2008/09/blog-post_857.html" target="_blank"&gt;阿鸡&lt;/a&gt;今天心情特好,见了面竟然没扯开嗓门骂波力笨,反而质问我为什么这样「倒黄」,是不是和黄家两兄弟有仇?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;波力想都没想,一口否认:「谁说我倒黄了?我从不倒黄!」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「你这人可真敢睁着眼睛说瞎话!随便到你的部落格打个转,只要有黄家定的文章,就没有一句是好话!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「你老爸骂过你吗?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「哪个老爸不骂孩子?你老爸没骂过你吗?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「那他『倒鸡』吗?难道他也和你有仇?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「我老爸和我没仇,所以他从不在外头骂我!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「我也不在外头骂,我的部落格只有马来西亚人才有兴趣看。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「但不是每个马来西亚人都是你们马华的人啊!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「我从没将马华当作马华党员的专利品,更何况他是全民的部长,人人有权监督,只是大多数的人都不爱讲话罢了。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「什么不爱讲话!?只是不知道和谁讲?讲了又有谁听得进去?所以,我大选时用选票讲,讲得让他『代志大大条!』」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「我也是没地方讲,所以写部落格。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「你不是马华党员吗?唉~ 只不过你们马华党员个个都是没有种的!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「是,有种的都扛上山头埋了,只留下一些半有种半没有种的。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「那些完全没有种的呢?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「都在外面骂那些半有种半没有种的...」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「呸!你这种人除了会占人便宜,可以说一无是处!难怪马华会倒大楣!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「也不是这么说,至少我还有多一个好处。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡好奇:「什么?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「和你一样,不要『好处』。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡沾沾自喜:「不要说我专讲马华的坏话,说实在的,黄家定最近干得很不错。」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「是的,只是该干得好的那些却都干得大错特错。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「为什么他们不能明白失去选民比得罪上头的下场还要凄惨呢?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「这是你的逻辑,他们的逻辑是,若敢得罪上头,那下次连上场的机会都没有,还哪来的选民好失去?」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「马华没有制机可以对他们施加压力!这只恐龙老爷车!」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「就算有车子,没人会开也不是一样?更何况是超龄车。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「没半个人能开吗?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「旧车主说他47岁就驾了,年少气盛,现下操得有点残,老司机可能驾不了...」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「他妈的!司机只分有驾照和没驾照两种,谁规定老司机就不能驾车了?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「这是敏感问题,他们说不能讨论。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「那几岁的司机才不算老?」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「不一定,那得看旧车主的哥哥三年后几岁...」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「令娘欸,我看啊,还是将那辆废物拿去回收站当破铜烂铁卖了吧!至少还可以换几个铜板。」&lt;br /&gt;波力:「上回问过了,他们说那么重很麻烦,要先收五百块回收费,免得到时找不到人。」&lt;br /&gt;阿鸡:「呵呵呵~ 说得也是~ 有理!有理!」&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

给武将军备战的一席话。

有一位相当受波力推崇及尊敬的博客朋友,他的名字很有趣,顺着念叫『正点舞』,逆着念叫『五点正』,此君是个不折不扣的「好事之徒」,非惹事生非的「好事」,而是专爱路见不平拔刀相助的「好事」;是他教会波力什么叫做「就事论事,不平则鸣,抽离的去看待切身问题」的。他也是第一位知道波力真实身份的网民,波力爱骂人,得罪人多,称呼人少,所以除非是认定了可以交心的朋友,陌生人问及波力真身,波力总是三缄其口、一问三不答的,但是郑典武这家伙就有这种魅力,让波力把「第一次」给了他,相识的这三个月来,证实了一点:「这人绝不是一个交得过的朋友,而是一个拜把得过的兄弟!」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/polibug/SOlQHnorjxI/AAAAAAAAAig/XeHQhNUrKMw/TTboo.JPG" target="_blank" title="马青蒲种区团秘书暨区会宣传主任-郑典武"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 70px;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/polibug/SOlQHnorjxI/AAAAAAAAAig/XeHQhNUrKMw/TTboo.JPG" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;典武其人&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;典武早期是名无冕皇帝,任职过新明日报、星洲日报及南洋商报,负责政治新闻及国会采访共十年之期,可谓阅人无数、遍访群杰,由于工作上的需要,不仅让他得以深入的了解大马政坛诸多鲜为人知的「奇人异事」,更造就了他敏锐无比的政治触觉,对一般人眼中的政治常象,他往往能够有非常独到的见解,而这些剖析,又往往都能被他「不幸言中」,是故波力在面对迷濛不清的政局时,最爱寻求他的「电话支援」,即便他一时无法提供有效方案,但其「第三视角」却总能给波力更辽阔清晰的视野,不至于身陷五里雾中。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;高职不劳而获,是祥征?是厄兆?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;数天前波力在《当今大马》发表的一篇《马青改选,如何民主?》评论中说到「没有竞争者的竞选」,过后与典武在电话中谈论此事,从多方面深入的去探讨这种情况所带来的种种;最终结论是--弊多利少。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="被称为《协商名单》的菜单"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px;" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/polibug/SOlSLfeKE3I/AAAAAAAAAio/qBG67ibatbo/menu.gif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;马青一直以来都处在一个相对尴尬的窘局,正如波力之前所说,比之国内其他政党,马华的家长文化是非常严重的!人说严父出孝子,但往往此类孝子与却与呆子无异;马华的政治弱势自卑感,更一直困扰着这个大家庭里的年轻人,面对巫青团,马青永远是一副二房庶子不敢与大房嫡系对望的孬样,长久下来,即便是在党内,也逐渐养成了「悉听安排,任凭处置」的习性,因此,党选也因应产生了所谓的「高层协商文化」,这是根源性问题,总之,大家东南西北马,各自依筹码份额分块猪肉回家,大州拿大位,小州拿小位,不大不小的州拿不上不下的位,人人有饭吃,一副天下太平、一团合气,其乐也融融的模样,羡煞旁人,苦煞有志者;偶尔有些零星战火,也都是私仇对决,鲜有政见之争。从这层关系上,我们必须有一定的醒觉:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;「协商」也算民主程序一环?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首先,总团代表是由区团推举的,只有少数来自州分团的举荐,这样的选举制度旨在使到基层意愿能有效的直达天听,讲得白一点,就是「不让地方势力得以阻挠有实在能力者贡献于党团中央」;事因一般各州当权者多有方便,而这种方便更常被滥用于打压有潜能的新生代,以保障本身的权位利益,从而形成一个没完没了的恶性循环,阻滞了党团前进的巨轮;波力觉得,总团的选举,不应是以固打制度使到各州当权势力得以均分「配额」的平台,反而应该是以绩效的评估,选贤与能的一种汰替过程;众所周知,也是波力常说的:「所谓协商,意即把门关起来,再看谁的拳头比较大的游戏」,由于地理因素,某些版图较小的州分团,永远都不可能拥有足以谈判的筹码,但是,有谁能否认,小州也有许多优秀卓越的领导材料,而大州也或许有不止一位能干及有担当的领袖呢?既然鼓励自由参选,何必还要有「领袖推荐协商名单」?各州团长齐集协商瓜分权力的方式,实在可被视为是一种对民主权力的变相打压,而以此方式产生的所谓「协商名单」,更可说是一种领袖对基层代表的位差压力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;协商是凝聚马青团结,提携人才贤能的不二法门?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第二,「协商名单」的存在,不仅阻断了优质人材进入总团的道路,更带动了另一种变相的「小家长文化」,因为所谓的「协商名单」是在各州团长的参与下完成,故产生的权势压力使得各州团长不得不自行压抑本州同志的竞选意愿,否则必将面对来自其他各州领袖的指责;打个比方,今天某小州也许拥有不只一名的领袖人选,但由于组织较小的关系,团长在协商会议上只得委屈求全的接受由一名同志出选副秘书职,然而,另一位不在名单当中的同志却可能有意出选财政,在这种情况之下,若州团长无法排除此人的竞选意愿,则必引起参与协商的他州领袖的不悦,至少,在原名单中被公允出选财政的州分团一定会表达不满,甚至抽起对该小州原副秘书人选的支持!事实上,若党员民主意识足够辨析本身的权力价值时,此类情况必然发生!试问,「协商名单」是造就了优势领导团队呢?或是进一步分化党同志间的情谊与团结?兼且,难道马青总团选举,仅是为了选出某一个特定州属的代表,而不是让能者居之,推举真正属于全马青年同志的领袖吗?领袖来自哪一个州属、一个州分团有多少同志「入阁」,对一个正在寻求改革,致力于健康文化的政党会是首要的考虑因素吗?若然如此,那与政府按种族固打遴选大专生有何分别?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;『不劳而获』等同于『绝对委托』?『绝对委托』带来的又是什么?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第三,在全国马青普遍和谐的情况之下,协商内定的参选者一般只由数名「高层」裁定,这种情况往往有利于某些前领袖,而新进的年轻领导人才若非得到「祝福」,是难以有出位的机会的;问题来了,前领袖必然有或多或少的成绩单,若然在强势的当权势力挤压之下,无人愿意,或有胆识出来挑战所谓有成绩单的当权者,是否可被视为是对这位前领袖所作的一切尽数签收、完全的俯顺认同呢?波力想说,没有一位领袖的決策、作为是尽善尽美的,但此类单一选项的竞选文化,不仅会捂闭了待任者的耳朵,使之无法听见否定的声音,更将造成中央代表的监督使命流于枉置,让中选者全然无视于党意、责任、负托与承担,失去了鞭策自己悉心经营党团的力量。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;只为了否决「不劳而获」而「参选」,价值何在?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;波力欣见今有党同志如典武者,明知在当权者如此强势的压力下,依然愿意怀着死谏的决心,即便必须接受残酷的成绩,也要抛身出来传达基层对党团改革的期许,实是吾党之福!尽管如此,我们还是希望阿武叔所扮演的不仅是一位马青民主催生婆的角色,更能以他一向来对党团国事一针见血的真知灼见,提供一个可行及有效的方案予总团代表参考,好让投他的人,不仅是用手中的一票要中选者「兢兢业业、珍惜委托」的用心,更能够将党同志们真正想见到的『马青价值』带到党团之中!无论中选者是谁,都不能忽视这股来自基层的声音及监督的力量,不再肆意的将自己的行止及决策一味的自我合理化。此次的马青改选,不能再是几位州团长自爽的游戏!而应是让马青代表的自主权力说话的时候了!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;听闻典武表示,他可能只在高职出现单一候选人的无竞争情况下,方才出来竞选,波力却有一言相谏,若典武真的有心出来代基层及民主喊话,其实不只是没人竞争才需要出来打,即便是已有人挑战,也得看看那人是不是傀儡一只,若然,爱党的同志还是得挺身而出的!须知无论是马华也好马青也罢,都有个要不得的遗传性烂文化,当有人放声要进行良性挑战时,待位者便会多安排一个「败票候选人」出来顶位或搅局,到时,选票四散,基层想反映的声音反成了待位者中选后嘲讽的对象,絲毫都无法展現基层健康监督的实在力量,反而会突显了中选者得到『绝对委托』的假象。因此,即主意已定,则典武当有以身、以名报效党团的觉悟;破斧沉舟了!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当然,若在典武代所有爱党爱马青的同志拋身出来之后!换来的不是「待任者」随便推出来的败票人,而是真正有心为党国奉献,兼且确有实在能力的党同志!则更是吾辈马青同志之福,而事实上,典武本身即是此等良将!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;骁哉,武将军!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不求名利与地位,只求传递监督者的声音。&lt;br /&gt;不盼萬人举目崇敬,只盼为萬人权充眼睛。&lt;br /&gt;不愿中选者得意忘形,只愿当选人謙恭受任。&lt;br /&gt;不为追求权势,只为唤醒掌权者改革的決心。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;单就这份尊重民主,热爱党团的气节,武将军便已当得起我们这些沉默的基层为您暴出最尊敬的喝采了!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;更愿后来者非汝一人!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

老友的分析

龙兄是波力的拜把子兄弟,他学贯古今,即是益友,也是明师,常和波力讲些历史故事和待人处世的大道理。为何提到龙兄?说来话长,事缘昨早发了个《员外的糊涂算盘》的帖子,中午与一群做生意的友人同席共餐,其中有一位人称「老仄」的前辈是波力的忠实读者,他向波力分析道:「林员外其实非常聪明,他这次出来也未必包输,可能他过两天假假捉住黄家兄弟来猛打,不仅能获得不少肚懒黄家兄弟的游离票,顺便还可以给自己『被收买』这件事洗脱罪名;然后他必再下几个重手踹死老蔡,他和老蔡交情匪浅,想抹黑他的话,必定比其他人更有说服力,也更具真实感,到时老蔡才算是真正的元气大伤,吃不了兜着走,而他反倒可以得个『不同流合污,真正清流』的称号,反正他的目的就只不过是要致老蔡于死地,让黄家大兄上位嘛,正如你常讲的『有效果比有道理重要得多』,他会再使这一招,也不能说是不可能的!在商言商,这就像加了尿素的牛奶一样,只要验不出三聚氰胺,谁会怀疑进医院是为了那该死的毒奶?」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;说了这么久,那到底关龙兄屁事?是这样的,龙兄常对波力说,世事万变不离其宗,欲知未来事,翻看历史多得是;波力受其薰冶,也看了不少古书,就这层关系,养成了波力追求理想政治的傻劲,龙兄常说,帝皇统帅亦有品别之分,善用权谋术数,但却多疑善变、不讲道义信用者称之为「帝皇之术」;不仅有谋略技巧,更以言信为先,爱民逾己,用人不疑者,可称之为「帝皇之道」,波力在想,若然今天马华在寻求的不是一位领导,则有术者足矣,但如果我们所需要的是位能承责负重的领袖,那就非得要选一位有「帝皇之道」的人不可了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;小人也不一定没有好下场,视乎受众的智慧及良知而定。马华党选,公理是否得以伸张?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

关于林员外的倒戈,最近坊间传得沸沸扬扬,有说林员外的背信弃义是黄家兄弟一早的预谋;有的却说他是接受了好处才临阵叛变;另外也有人说那是林员外棋高一筹,知道自己政绩乏善可呈,眼看着即便是竞逐副总也是聊无胜算,因此将心一横,用仅存的势力作最有利的投资,以便在为黄家大兄护航立功之后,换个总财政的高职委任;当然,更多的人认为那是因为关系到 Petal**g Ind*h 的 T7 案子,证委会受促逼宫,所以林员外别无他选,只得从善如流。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以上是市面上的传言,孰是孰非,真实性有多高尚未可知;但是可以确定的是,林员外之所以有此作为,自是有非常诱人的议程在背后助力,否则谁愿意犯上这个引人唾骂的「叛徒」臭名,换一个必输无疑的竞选呢?林员外是个一等一的商人,这个算盘若打不响,他才不会这么愚蠢的使硬用强。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;即然如此,意即署理总会长这个位子,必将展开两人以上的对决了,就此番战事而言,显然对老蔡的胜算大为不利,那到底又会不利到什么境况呢?是否老蔡就此划上休止符,黄家大兄则坐收渔翁之利?波力觉得那倒不尽然,且听波力稍作分享:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. 平时不努力,临时抱佛脚。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;若然林员外此番宣战有外力操作,则明显的标示着黄家兄弟已强烈的感受到老蔡的实力威胁,老蔡入主中央时日虽短,然他一上位即马不停蹄的奔走全国,兼且在「地狱部门」里的工作表现又可圈可点、有口皆碑,鲜明的形象已得到党基层的普遍认同,相对于政绩欠奉的黄家兄弟,即便是两人加起来较之与蔡氏,也可说是天壤之别,这只要翻回当时任何一天的各语文报章便可一目了然,不难了解;所以林员外的出走,大可解读为当权派在无计可施下,方才委屈求全,向员外提出的交换条件。可见老蔡在光碟事件的滋扰下,于全国的势力依然相当强悍。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. 谁愿意浪费宝贵的选票去满足无能领袖的个人议程?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;众所周知,林员外与老蔡一向交好,因此坊间一般流传,林员外在雪州握有的约一半票源归于老蔡是想当然耳的事,然除了雪州一脉之外,林员外于全国性的支持却需要大量依赖老蔡的说话;所以,即便是雪州代表,在看到林员外今天这种个人议程昭然若揭的决定之后,都会不禁自觉心寒,试问,有多少代表愿意用手中的无上一票去满足无能领袖的利益买卖呢?而且,即使改选后黄家大兄真个得偿所愿,是否会履行委任的诺言?亦是个未知数!代表们将慎重的考量,与其将宝贵的一票投入冤坑,倒不如支持一个更有可能独当一面的领袖!因此,其原本已少得可怜的票数,不仅会直接涌向蔡氏,还可能倒流进黄家大兄的票囊子里!若党选举也需要缴交按柜金,那林员外这回或许连按柜金都将不保!逻辑思考,若出现这种情况,则在位者想厚着脸皮委以总财政,也只能叹息他不是亲生兄弟了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. 欲盖弥彰,浪费良策。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在林员外倒戈相向之前,老蔡的铁票已足以撼倒黄家大兄,黄家兄弟选择先走林员外这步棋子,旨在于使用相对温和的方式打击蔡氏士气,事因一连串的抹黑动作已造就了强烈的反应,彼等万万想不到老蔡会狠下心肠报警捉人,而相信老蔡在针对有关的事件报警之前,必已先和「战友」林员外沟通过,因此,在林员外及其私通的敌军商讨之下,不得不提前行动,以转移视线,好淡化黄家大兄所谓的「瓜前李下之嫌」,否则,林员外根本无须这么快就作出宣布,就他自己先前所言,将在两个星期之后,也就是在提名日前一两天才会宣布动向,以求计划中的最佳效果,而今为了保全主子,冲淡墨迹,才不得不浪费掉如此良策,此着行使得太早,让代表们有了思考的余裕,这不可谓是项失算,但也情非得已的举措。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. 政治良知,代表将善用选票。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;上述流言中,T7的案子一直是林员外心虚头痛的根源,而今他大胆的行径,不难让人联想到与黄家监管的部门已扯上关系,那可是跳下黄河也洗不清的纠葛,林员外身边有多人知晓此事,但并不等于每个人都能接受党选存在着此类利益买卖!事实上,只要稍具政治良知的党同志势必不予苟同,当然,这也将影响部份原本属于黄家掌控的选票,在代表自行权衡轻重之后,变向流往蔡氏,林员外及其私通千算万算,皆将代表作低能计算,然而今时不同往日,代表已有思考衡量的能力,硬塞的枣子已不容易让人吞咽了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. 破坏救党心,人人得而诛之。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;对许多党同志而言,若老蔡出来竞选一号,大部份的代表在考量其光碟事件的影响之后,都不得不选择形象相对更为明亮的公羽先生,虽然如此,但大家心里都非常清楚此二人何者更能办事,因此,当老蔡一宣布只打二号时,许多人都不禁松了一口气,心里甚至打定了主意,想让这两只雄狮共治山寨,相互监督,各展其长,互辅所短;时值我党政治生命的非常时期,若党能同时兼得这两员大将,方才有望将颓靡不振的马华带出死亡的幽谷深渊;然而,今天林员外却不识趣的出来装傻卖颠,一心在做个人打算,置党运于不顾,岂不成了人人喊打的过街老鼠?不仅于此,原本已挠有争议的黄家大兄也不见得就此讨好,反而让人对这种纠缠不清的肮脏政治手法更加心生厌恶,甚至让人不期然的联想到安公子收买议员以求变天的916大骗局;黄家兄弟一向善于权谋术数,这回,不将党员求变止乱的渴望计上,算是打错了一个大大的糊涂算盘了。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

《翁诗杰竞选宣言》

&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com/2008/10/blog-post_02.html"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 50px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/polibug/SOP6vNAE4vI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/LktiN2yqawo/otk-s.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;拿督翁诗杰两天前终于甘愿将收在床底下的竞选宣言拿出来了,他自己管这份东西叫「承担」,宣言就宣言嘛,搞什么古里古怪的「承担」?只不过硬要掰那是「承担」也不错,「承担」没有「承诺」暧昧,比较没有山盟海誓的肉麻,恁地多了一些负担,想来这也正是老翁那酸秀才的心思吧?对波力而言,管他什么承担不承担的,我就喜欢叫它「宣言」!老翁打着e化的招牌,一早用web2.0的模式推出竞选网站,让波力眼前一亮,惟在正式发布竞选宣言后,波力遍寻网络,竟然连一份电子版文件都找不到,真是@#$%^@,冇变,唯有截存图象档,再一一打过了,其中有些字非常模糊,只好用猜的,当然,还发现了不少错别字...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;放上来方便各位网友参照:[&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com/2008/10/blog-post_02.html" title="《翁诗杰竞选宣言》文字档"&gt;按这里&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com/2008/10/blog-post_04.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/polibug/SNTCaMCYjfI/AAAAAAAAAco/CwT6DAMjgbA/download_logo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

font-weight: bold;"&gt;马华再出发,就务须由党内的改革做起,这不能脱离华主对马华的期待。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;它的主轴重心包括:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;总会长直选&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;为求更彻底深化党内的民主,党员的民主权利应进一步提升到直接票选总会长的层面。对基层党员而言,这是党民主向前迈跨一大步的里程碑,非但使直选的总会长更具代表性,也同时透过这种「参与性民主」,强化党员对党的参与和向心力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;州主席票选&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;各州联委会主席应该由州代表票选,以取代现有的委任制,俾让州主席获得更大的党意委托,去领导州马华的转型改革。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;构建公职应征者的遴选制度&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;举凡各级政府公职的应征者(包括大选的候选人)的遴选,一概需要制度化,才能真正落实"选贤与能"的目标。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;强化政治教育&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;马华党校应以提供政治教育与干部训练为主轴,这乃是迈向构建党员干部制度的关键起点,也是致力强化党员忠党意识的不二法门。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;广结社区人脉,打破族群隔阂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;马华即有的服务网络,是党的一项优良资产,惟它需要结合当前社会各阶层,尤其是新生代的需要,才能彰显它的功效。因此党的服务政治不能只局限于地方性的民生服务,而是应该大胆转型,通过多元性的人文、政治活动来广结社区人脉及发掘青年菁英; 并本着马华一向不分种族的服务精神,开放活动于各族,以其能够打破族群之间的隔阂。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;迈向党籍、党产制度化与专业化管理&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;党员乃党的生命泉源。党籍管理的(得)不善,必会招致党员的离心。因此它必须具备制度化与专业化的管理,才能符合新时代的需求。党产既是党的基业,就应该透过有效的专业管理,来凸显它对党事业所能发挥的积极政治作用。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;华社向前行&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;在捍卫公义面前,我们秉持敢怒敢言,敢抗敢争的大无畏精神;在规划未来路向时,我们更要敢于梦想,敢于实践!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;摆脱从属角色&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;马华要赢回华社信心,就必须深切?解族群的意愿诉求,并勇于表达和敢于实践。党要有效维护华社权益,就务须将之定位为大马人权益之一环,并结合各社群中的开明力量,致力摆脱和抗拒现有族群关系中所谓的”支配者”与”受支配者”的从属角色。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;还原历史真貌&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;华社既是这片土地的开拓者,也是这个国家的建设者。我们要铿锵有力否定任何志在扭曲建国历史,抹煞华社建设功绩的论述,就必须从还原历史着手。&lt;br /&gt;党需要有效引导华社,正视与正确认识国家民族的历史,敢于纠正学校历史教科书中的谬误; 同时教育民众体认历史的诠释权不能单由当权者所垄断。而马来西亚的华人史与地方史研究等,就应该成为马华与华社共同向时代与世界交代(待)的史料文献。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;强化竞争能力&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大马华社要成为廿一世纪里站得起来,走得出去的民族,强化本身的竞争条件乃是刻不容绶的当务之急。为要因应当前的变局与挑战,党的关键考量应该包括:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;国内外大专院校的学额,必须不断的开拓与切合人力市场的需求;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;开拓更多的大学奖贷学金机会,造就更多的英才;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;全方位发展技职教育,包括辅以华语课程,以解决日益严重的辍学问题;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;引导华社的在职劳动力,接受国际性的技职认证,以求为自己的事业增值,进而为整体族群的竞争力加分。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;引导华裔充实自己,开拓资源,并建立国际观与跨国人脉,以因应全球化的考验。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;党政展新局&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;马华主张族群之间的关系,不单是强调彼此容忍,更应该立足于互信互助,共存共荣的基础上。不负责任的极端主义言论,除了制造种族对立,更撕裂了社会(的)和谐,让民众陷入不安。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;摒弃零和思维&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;马华坚信族群之间的关系,不能永远受制于「零和心态」的思维 (Zero-Sum Mentality),而让兄弟民族永陷于目前这种所谓「一方受惠,另一方则必招损」的思想框框里,不得逾越。&lt;br /&gt;马华主张订立「种族关系法」,?阻任何别有居心的政客为了个人的政治利益,任意发表种族歧视言论。而族群关系的处理也应该由当前的”容忍主张”提升到互信互谅互重的”三互”层次。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;敢向强权说「不」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;马华除了进一步贯彻以民为本的从政理念外,对于任何不公不义的施政,以及持权凌人的举措,都应该敢干说「不」,要求纠正。在国阵内部,各成员党的对话机制必须回到平等互重的基础,建构坚实的伙佯关系。马华更应立足于全民的利益考量,展现灵活、务实的政治身段,针对不同的议题,与国内外不同的党团群体开拓交流互动的空间。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;建构制衡机制&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;马华坚持宪法上的三权分立机制,矢志推动改革现有制度的失衡与不足。在当前国家的政治改革议程中,马华认为捍卫司法独立是眼下刻不容缓的急务。马华支持提升反贪污局的位阶以及独立运作的角色,以便更有效的推行良政,整肃贪污。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;提升问政能力&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;马华的国州议员除了强化选区服务机制外,也必须同时加强对法案的掌握和参与辩论的能力,确保所通过的法案真正利惠民生,造福地方。在鞭策政府施政方面,党中央政必须提供专业的咨询支援,以全面提升马华议员在议会里的问政素质,进而有效传达民声民意。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;世纪新挑战&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;马华自创党以还,积极维护民族权益;引领族人参与争取国家独立,奠立了今日的国民地位。惟党不能坐吃老本,而是必须勇于推陈出新,才有望为党族开拓新的发展空间。面对未来的挑战,党的工作方针应纳入下列各项:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;赋予青少年更大的决策权力与空间 (Youth Empoerment);&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;提升民众对开拓替代能源的科研开发的认识;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;引导民众正确认识日趋严重的普世议题,例如环保与粮食危机等;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;催化政府行政e-化,以提升效率与抑制领污;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;致力于让大马各领域的品牌走向国际化,并足以与人争锋。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(波力注:打字是非常无聊的一件事,如有误植... 就当作没有看到好了...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com/2008/09/blog-post_5434.html"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

马青改选,如何民主?

&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/polibug/SOLNcjYSvwI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/Fy2P7UaTUvY/wks1.JPG" target="_blank" title+"马青总团长候选人魏家祥"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 170px;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/polibug/SOLNcjYSvwI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/Fy2P7UaTUvY/wks1.JPG" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;马青总团改选正式启动之后,十三州协调名单随即出炉,协调名单有别于菜单,至少在没有挑战团队出现的情况之下是可以这么说的;本届的马青总团改选可说是马青有史以来最为公平公正的一次,虽然还是有协调名单的出现,但总团长候选人仍旧愿意秉持民主精神,鼓励任何有意竞选的合格党员作出提名,并且在各地的交流会上都不分你我的一一为代表们作介绍,实在是非常难能可贵,相对于各施各法的马华中央改选,马青的作法可说是更为可取的民主程序。在整个马青总团的竞选活动中我们不难看到魏家祥所使用的手法,无疑已将全国大将都一并收编入营,是非常明智的处理方式,而且也为将来马青的工作团队作好了合力经营的准备工夫;波力只是想问,如果还有具备挑战资格的人选出来提名竞选总团长,那这番景象是否还会出现?魏家样是否还能表现得如此泱泱大度呢?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;没有竞争者到底算不算是一件好事?那就视乎情况而有所区别了,基本上,若一个团体能有一位顶尖优质的领导人,而此人的品德能力又倍受推崇,则没有竞争者当然是好事一桩;然而,如果这个组织单位的领导位子之所以没有竞争,是因为环顾全局都找不到一个能与之匹敌的人物,那无疑是件可悲的事情。所幸的是,今日马青之所以能一团合气是因为前者;当然,魏家祥也许不是完美的团长人选,但世界上哪有完美的人呢?只要在相对比较之下,他是最为称职的人选,而非是使用第三因素上位者,便是马青所期盼的了,更何况这所谓的相对,不仅于马青内部,而是可以较之于全国各朝野政党的青年领袖,都算是有过之而无不及的;因此,在党选后,全国的马青仔必须能放下成见,全力支持他的领导,也必须全力监督他的领导,才算是真正为党选负上责任!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民主的定义不仅是选举的自由,而是接受结果的态度;有党选,就会有持不同立场的人站出来说话,有不同角度的看法,也才能引领党团步上更优秀的道路,在党选之前,我们就得为选后的归队作好准备,大我小我必须分辨得明白;党选不同于大选,敌我的界垒不宜区分得太清楚,否则无论是哪一方胜出,都无法得到全员的祝福,尽管如此,在党选期间,彼此也不可因过于客气而流于互相隐弊,党选就有如党的循环系统,不仅于人事的代谢,也必须是思维的互动及进化,只有在这种意识下进行的党选,才能产生互辅并进的效果。当选者必须要有包容异见的度量,在选后不排除竞争者所提出的建设性意见,只有对党好的决策才是党员们所乐见的,即便该措施可能是选前对手所倡议,但当权者的录用动作却能得到党员们更高的推崇及激赏!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;能看见问题不容易,要做出改变更困难,愿与所有马青同志共勉之。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

转高猪的笑话:首相的司机

&lt;a title="民主行动党国会领袖林吉祥" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/polibug/SOLMv7H63KI/AAAAAAAAAgI/exy8Lb1PUug/lks.JPG" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;民主行动党国会领袖林吉祥说:「我敢断言,马华党内的60%以上基层,都要马华退出国阵!」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林吉祥似乎比任何一位马华领袖都有智慧,并更加了解马华基层的意愿!至少他自己是这样觉得的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;事实上,他更了解的是「如何说服民众」的技巧,想要别人认同及信任自己的预言,绝不是告诉人家实现的期限,而是实现期限的可能性,并且,若能说出一个概括性相对不完整的数据,肯定会带来更优质的反馈作用,为什么呢?因为凡事都有例外,在例外之外的人,更不能理解例外的价值,那整体效果就更加有力了;这是理论,听起来有点像打雷,不知所谓,没关系,举个大家都耳熟能详的例子:安华曾经斩钉截铁的放话说916将政治变天,他奉行的是邱吉尔的承诺方式,也就是先定下需要达成理想目标的理由,若目标无法达成,则再给一个无法达成目标的理由;这种作法,在民智较高的时代或国度不太可行,但幸好对我国人民而言还蛮合用的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;就这一项政治技巧,习惯扮演反派的林老可就更加不得了了!他深知,一句话若说得太完整,就容易被人捉着小辫子,因此,他才说有「六十巴仙」的马华党员要求退出国阵,六十巴仙是个极为暧昧的比例,众所周知,就马华的百萬党員而言,尽管有许多是神化般来无影去无踪的,但七折八扣之后,总也该有个六、七十万吧?六十万的四成是二十四万,试问有谁能代表二十四万人以上的马华党员说不希望马华退出国阵呢?因此,林吉祥又再多創造一个不能被否决的垃圾言论,再强塞到人民的耳朵里去了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;没有一个人会比林吉祥更希望马华退出国阵!他老人家非常清楚,整垮国阵的最佳途径就是分化国阵成员党,尤其是主要成员党;然而,就马华,或者说就马来西亚民主进程而言,马华今日若选择退出国阵,会是一项明确的决策吗?波力感冒了三天,精神有点萎顿,但在大是大非之前,还是尽可能的保持警醒,大致作了以下的一些思考:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;退出国阵之于民主&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;相对于一党独大,双线甚或多线议政显然更具有监督效果,而这也是民行一直以来致力促成的政治格局,若然今天马华一意孤行的脱离国阵,那到底是为了本身存在价值的考量,还是出于对民主精神的尊重呢?事实上,马华今日的决定举足轻重,若马华在这当儿选择退出国阵,将直接的启动国阵的解体,当然,也将促成政权易手的格局,我说格局,而不是新格局,原因在于马来西亚政治体制的先天性不足,即便再换多几任政府,在野党都不可能在国家決策上產生正面的影响!纵观今日政局,即便民联已得到如此强势的委托,但在任超过半年之后,人民依旧不见国运有何起色,反而因为某些野心家的个人议程,造就了惨不忍睹的政经乱象,人民想看到的不是如何收买议员,如何更替首相,而是如此强大的在野势力,如何促使执政者推进有利于国家的政策及计划!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民联要求人民给予突破三分二议席的献议,人民无疑已经完成了,那民联必须如何回馈人民呢?假如还是这般一成不变,那要一个强势反对党来干嘛?今天的国阵政府固然行政失当,但民联一系列制造政治乱象的行径却也一直受到人民的纵容及合理化,简单说,两个都是烂苹果,人民只是两者利用于筑造政权的工具;马华退出国阵,也只不过是成全另一个霸权团体的野心罢了,于民主进程毫无助益;甚至可以说是从根本上阻止了国家议会两线制的诞生。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/polibug/SOLKdtYp0kI/AAAAAAAAAgA/W-J9caKUYho/mca-out.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px;" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/polibug/SOLKdtYp0kI/AAAAAAAAAgA/W-J9caKUYho/mca-out.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;退出国阵之于党&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;马华是马来西亚华人唯一的血缘性政党,自开国至今一直致力于维系这个在人口比例上相对弱势的族群,马来西亚是个民主体制的国家,简言之,是个人多就声大的国家,不同于南非及美国,在这片国土上还附着着许多无法协调的文化因素,原因在于位居老二及老三的民族皆是世界文明古国兼且是其中两个占全球最大人口比例的民族后裔,各自拥有本身深厚且不易妥协的文化根基,无论在言语文字、宗教信仰及习俗惯性上都有强烈的自豪感及优越感,因此,要促成真正的马来西亚民族,惟一的途径就是存异求同,相互尊重,进而达致公平、公正的状态,然而,历史是没有如果的,过去整个国家的发展程序为了时代的需求而出现了许多不合理的決策,今天的马来西亚,存在的不是共荣共融的情景,反而是相互怨恨、嫉妒的境况,许多人将此种局面归咎于马华及巫统的分裂政策,却全然的包容了自己在国民义务上的责任,孰不知,国家现状就是国民意愿的写照,人民对政治的麻木,才是真正促成体制不公的主因!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;实际上,没有一个政党是愿意促使国家进入极端的两极化,包括拥有强烈宗教议程的回教党亦然,只是政党的形成是社会的附产品,当然有其存在的诉求及不同的价值观,但那并不是政党的终极标竿;作为一个泛国民政党,其最终的目标应该是引领国家不断的成长、提供优质及圆融的社会运作,国阵的组成,不是为了各政党的先天性不足打补丁,而是应用人民对各政党不同理念的社会期许去达致更合理的政治操作,因此,马华若然脱队,在很大的程度可被视为背弃人民的社会期许,制造社会失衡的举措!马华应该为人民的需要而存在,而非因为某些不需要它存在的因素而失去原有的价值!没有一个政党能提供绝对的价值去满足所有人,否则,将因为立场的动摇而沦落为毫无存在价值的政治垃圾!没有一个相对的政党能否定另一个政党的存在价值,因为不同的视野正是政党存在的最大价值,在政治的诉求上,马华不应成为事事俯顺的滥好人;即便这可能促使马华走向政治狭道,但总得有人能坚持站在弱势族群的立足点为他们说话;如果我们能接受忠于环保的绿党,为何不能容纳为华裔说话的马华呢?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;退出国阵之于国家&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;政党应做的是强化本身的社会价值,而非以矮化政敌作为手段!民联今日已成功获得五个州属的执政权,四成的反对党议席,而人民用选票换回来的,竟是这样一付持续惨烈的政经景象;别再告诉我们反对党做不了什么事,否则两线制又有何意义?如果这个国家的制度出了问题,那我们现在要做的是制度的调整,而不是更换首相或执政单位;若制度真的有问题,那换了谁上去做也都一样。今天若然民联真的通过收买议员的途径取得政权,基本上也仅是使到某些原本在执政位置的人得到另一个执政的地位,试问,这些人能真正体验人民否决现治的不满吗?更何况这些选择过档的议员更尽是些可以用利益交换立场的人物,新政府还有什么希望?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;国家的政治乱象就有如暗流旋涡,除了手握决定权的人民本身,没有人能够阻止国家政治进入这个可怕的恶性循环。许多评论家及民主工作者评论选区划分如何的不公,而事实上这本来就是原执政党的竞选优势,放眼世界各宪政国,无一不是如此,而今日选举工作已然结束,多余的政治动作对国家发展一点帮助也说不上,国家是水,政党是鱼,国家不是因为某一个政党而存在的,即便今天马华退出国阵,也不能改变错漏繁复的现有体制,正如过去国阵政府在没有征询民意的情况之下独断独行的进行多项关乎全民的大型工程,而今日,我们看到同样恶劣的作法,在林冠英手中一再重演;这是整个体制上的问题,不是谁当政府就能解决的,民联所制造的革命假象就依附在同样的体制下,马华是否退出国阵都不是问题的征结所在,看不看得到制度的偏差,如何有效的调整国家体制,才是马华及国阵政府的当务之急!人民想看到的是,当前的局势,是否真正构成国阵的危机感,从而促成国家制度在实质及本质上的进化。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;退出国阵之于民族&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在308的政治变局之后,国家的政治文化非但不是向智化迈步,反而是往愚民政策挺进,在意识形态上没有丝毫的改变,变的仅是人民不断的自我合理化,将国家发展的责任全然推向执政当局,似乎在变相的默认「政党政府」的存在价值,泛国民主义的兴起,不是建立在还政于民的基础上,反而是寄托在个人英雄主义的崇信当中,实是一项非常可悲的境况;滥权是造成民情失衡的一大因素,国阵政府已忘卻建国之初维系各族关系的大原则,国阵长期的沉溺在玩弄种族情绪的游戏里,将原本可行的组成形态推入了狭隘的民族政治死胡同,值此当下,马华若再不利用仅存的政治资源促使国阵恢复运作常态,则种族操弄的习性将持续恶化,最终受害的不只是国阵,而是各个民族全体国民;若马华今日扬言退出国阵,只是另一种更为极端的种族行止,而非促进全民团结的努力!因此,马华真的适合退出国阵吗?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;事实上,除了沉重的历史包袱,国阵其实还有许多优质的良好特性,整个国阵体系基本上就是一个全民的缩影,足够且均匀的民族比例,完整的组织结构,硕壮的基层班底都是国阵占尽优势的政治资源,国阵实质上就架构在一个多化种族共治的基础,基本上国阵只需要重建真正合理的沟通渠道,制定互重互动的行为模式,便能隐健的踏出挫败后的第一步,基于这些优势,马华应该妥善应用时机,协助国阵重塑国父时代的社会共识,以为全民提供一个真正优秀的政治环境,创造国阵的新时代价值!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

面对党团改革,官职是助力还是阻力?

&lt;a title="巫青团总团长候选人:慕克里兹"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/polibug/SN_pzttt-LI/AAAAAAAAAfM/7I8wvC5prt4/Mukhriz.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;巫青团总团长候选人慕克里兹在接受东方日报记者蓝志锋&lt;a href="http://oceanlum.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/%E6%85%95%E5%85%8B%E9%87%8C%E5%85%B9%E7%9A%84%E8%AE%BF%E8%B0%88%EF%BC%881%EF%BC%89/" target="_blank"&gt;专访&lt;/a&gt;时说了一席相当发人深思的话 :「一些人认为我很笨,因为『没有官职,如何执行党务?』。这是不是意味着有人滥用官职进行政党工作?人民已有这种感觉,认为拥有官职的从政者,利用政府资源和人民的钱进行政党的政治活动,这也是我们在大选落败的其中一个原因。我不想重蹈覆辙。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;慕克里兹是巫统极少数敢说「不」的领袖,这可能与他的出身不无关系;然而,从他过去的作为当中,我们不仅看到他勇于向对立的政敌说「不」,即便是面对自己的父亲---前首相敦马时,他依然表现出自己对政治信念的执着,当敦马于年中赌气退出巫统的时候,他毅然与之唱反调,认为离开只是消极的应对方式,不能有效的解决问题;对于崇尚孝道的回教社会而言,他无疑必须为自己的坚持面对极大的舆论压力,还记得当时的他说过一句相当落寞的话:「我感觉到很孤单。」,但是事隔数月,敦马的回巢却佐证了他所选择的立场。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;慕克里兹认为,在这多变的未来四年,身为巫青团团长者必须有所觉悟,不应兼任官职,以便能够真正的发挥团长的工作,重新将巫青团带入马来青年社群里,若团长身兼重要官职,必将分心于其他的职务,从而无法有效的推进党务;波力必须说,除了对他极为前卫的思维表示敬佩之外,我还真为他过人的胆识捏了一把冷汗!何有此言?须知巫统的组织结构有赖于大量的权力及物质资源支撑,一位宣称当选后誓不为官的领袖想要得到基层势力的支持,是件极不简单的事!除非基层能有高度的政治醒觉及着实的改革决心,或是其竞选团队在结构上有特别精确的安排,否则在如此欠缺弹性的立场上,他就连想要获得38个区部提名(这是巫青团的基本竞选条件),都不见得能轻易达成!更何况就当前的巫统文化看来,超于私利的政治理念即使不能说是绝无仅有,但确是凤毛麟角。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;事实上,正如慕克里兹所说,巫青团长担任内阁部长并非巫统即有的传统,言下之意即是说,这个习惯性的安排现下已俨然成为一项约定俗成的附带条件;所以他才有必要明确的表达自己的意愿,以撇清他是为了想当官才参选的误解。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/polibug/SN_o0-UxoJI/AAAAAAAAAfE/lTcFzyg786s/youth-leader.jpg" target="_blank" title="各政党青年团团长及候选人"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/polibug/SN_o0-UxoJI/AAAAAAAAAfE/lTcFzyg786s/youth-leader.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;看了巫青团团长候选人的雄心壮志,再回到另一个「有官团长」的马青改选,我们不禁产生了个迷思,一个党职与官职关系的迷思,在今日马华,此两者也已是密不可分的配套,这不仅是因为马华议员在官职委任上的被动处境,最重要的还是权力平衡的考量,正如黄家定亲口所言,在没有官职的光环衬托下,即便贵为马华总会长,亦不得与首相就近说话,这除了突显了国阵关系机制的僵化,更让人为马华新一代领导层所面对的沟通渠道倍感忧心!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;身为宪政体制、民主国家的执政党,领袖必须非常清楚政党与政府的相互关系,党领导也有义务去平衡这层关系的运作,须知,党职仅是党内阶层结构的体现,以便领导工作得以有效的进行;而实权官职却关系到全民的生存养息,直接影响国家兴衰!因此,任何政党,即便有再大的组织背景,都不应该没有选择性的复制、或放大党结构予国家管理需求,否则,对党、对全民,以至对于整个国家,都不会是一件好事!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;尤其身为一个迫切有待改革的执政党青年组织,领袖若身兼国家部长重责,除了不可能有充份的时间整顿低颓的党威势力,更将因为立场的设定而无法真正发挥青年团应有的监督角色!这就好比推举工会会长成为董事经理一般,工会不可能因此而得到更大的优势或好处,反之,就连原本的制衡作用都将逐渐消失,进而形同虚设。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我们不会要求马青总团长候选人能与慕克里兹有等同的价值思维,套一句政客常用的引例:"因为这不是两个苹果之间的比较",况且,我们还能有一百零一个理由去讲述所可能面对的困难,然而,更重要的是,我们真的已经省思过了吗?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://polibug.blogspot.com"&gt;波力拔克&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://polibugpod.blogspot.com"&gt;播力八客(波力拔克的播客版)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>
