Open House (rumah terbuka) always be held by most of the political leader such Datuk and YBs. They will feast you with a lot of food and sometime give a packets of money a.k.a ang pow. So everybody will be happy eating and enjoying the ang pow.
Have you ever think ? you as a people or voters deserve the feast & ang angpow because, actually the money is yours, that was the people's money. These YBs was hired by the government to serve the people, but what happened was these YBs steal the people's money and put in their own pocket and call it development. ha. ha. ha.
They put on a culvert that is cost about RM200 in front of your house and put the balance of RM 5000 in their stomach, and once a year they give you RM5 as an ang pow. . . ha. ha. ha. This is developement.
Being a leader means you are very nice in exploiting the human stupidity.
Being a people means you are always ready to be fool again and again.
and still remain the same . . . until. . . . . until you prefer to reform. . .
If you tremble indignation at every injustice, then you are ready to reform.

I began to wonder :
Why is 31st August more important than 16 September ?
31st August is just the independence of Malaya, known as Persekutuan Tanah Melayu 1957
How about Sabah and Sarawak ?
Why we celebrate the independence of Malaya ?
Isn’t 16 september the actual date when Malaysia is born ?
Why not celebrate the Malaysia Day on september 16 ?
* * * * * *
TRIVIA : Why Bisayan celebrate Adau Janang Gayuh ?
Why Buffalo Race ?
A lot more WHY to come . . . .
Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.

~ They Ask Him To Quiet, But He Quit ~
2 comments Posted by thebisayadilemma at 5/21/2008 10:10:00 AMForget about them, let's talk about Bisaya.
I want to share here 2 real situation, the conversation among Bisayan on the matter of Tun Dr. M quitting UMNO:
# 1st Comment:
" - KALAU IRO SAMALURA' SADA' MASALAH. IRO SUDAH KINUMAYA' -"
(No problem if they quitted, they are wealthy )
- Bisayan think people entering UMNO for the money, then quit if they got plenty enough.
# 2nd Comment:
" - SUMUANG DAN UMNO TI MACAM SINUMUANG DA BUKIT PADANG. LAPAS SINUMBALUT BOLEH NIO SAMALURA' -"
(entering UMNO just like admitted to Bukit Padang (Mental Hospital). After recover you can quit)
- Bisayan think people entering UMNO because they are crazy or fools. then quit when they got recover/healed.

Can somebody explain why ? or it was normal stupidity.
I'm excited to see the day that I'll buying a new car to see whether I will put still the plastic wrapping or tear it out. I think there is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy and I will never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

~ Congratulation : Bagus OR Bogus ? ~
0 comments Posted by thebisayadilemma at 4/29/2008 10:14:00 PMThen, another untold story was publicly revealed at the same time as mention by the mainstream media is the newly appointed transportation deputy minister is holding the recognition from overseas University for the Master of Business Administration (MBA) title. I'm proud to hear that because, it is not many Bisayan out there holding the MBA title. So once again, Congrats. I hope it was BAGUS, not BOGUS. But, how can the public did not know this man holding the MBA title ? . When he went to USA and study there ?. Hey !, how can this man got MBA without holding the BBA first ? This is the matter of we are the people are fool or we had been fooled. The Bisayan have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.
Nowadays we can see many of BISAYAN had a recognition in various fields such as Medical, Engineering, Law and Business study but don't forget, there still much more who still under the coconut shell. So it is the big responsibility for the Bisayan Leader. The elected leaders should think about the people's future rather than just think about his stomach and the organ several inches below. What was happened before, this top rank peoples prefer if the lower rank peoples keep quite, fools and naive, so their post will stable and guaranteed.
Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people. There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating; people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing. When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity.

Fate of people, destinies of nations and history itself are determined to a substantial extent by political leaders. When electing a leader, voters frequently base their decision on the image created by mass media and professional image makers; they also tend to take into account only current events and tasks. This, unfortunately, can result in bringing to power a politician who eventually damages the country's position or even causes national or international cataclysms.
Performance of political government can be measured by the increase of the quality of life in the respective region or (DUN) during the time of ruling. Some might say, “It’s not the matter either the cat is black or white, as long as it catch mice”. So they might say, “It’s not the matter either the leader is good or bad, as long as he give us money or opportunity”. Have you ever thinking of, if the good leader is ruling, how much better the opportunity you will get. I’m not telling you that Bisayan are fools but just not smart enough.
If you look at the scenario of Bisayan Leadership, in all kind of organization, specially in political hierarchy and the local organization such as Persatuan Bisaya. you will see the same pattern of the leadership, same old punks, same old thought. To be leader is not the stepping stone for the fame or glamour. It is also not just a 'Periuk Nasi'. It is beyond your old fashioned preconception Bisaya minded. Its about future and survival. what next . . . . . you'll make the move.

Somewhere, the tap water is free for 20 cubic meter but in here, we are suffered the water interruption. The electrical power supply also like a color light, (sometime on, sometime off). They promise peace but in 7 months period, two Bisayan murdered, tragically. Please don't bluff, you can fools some of the people some of the time, But you can never fools all the people all the time.
This is not the statement of anger but more on to softly advice and suggest. If something can be done by straight way, why choose the curly one. Hopefully the Bisayan should get rid of being a political beggar. Please earning for life on something else, maybe the quality of education will change this scenario.
Nowadays, if you see a Bisayan get rich and wealthy life, you can bet he is one of these two. First politician and second, the smuggler. Think outside the box, there are millions kind of things can make you rich and happy. Because of there are too many politician competing each others, so some will be glorious but some will loose. If you choose another successful way, nobody will loose. Actually we can achieve excellence in something else which are not listed in our book of mind as long as we try something new and discover the possibility. Things may come to those who wait...but only the things left by those who hustle.
