Abang Jib.. Pemimpin Berjiwa Rakyat..

He is the eldest son of Malaysia's 2nd Prime Minister & also a nephew of Malaysia's 3rd Prime Minister, he was raised in the 'white house' and grew up among the elite group of Malaysia's society, (i mean have u ever came across a prime minister's son going to school with his bicycle or in a sardine-packed school bus?)


He became the YB of Pekan at the age of 23 unopposed due to respect of his late father who passed away, (ahh 23, at that age most of us were still looking for our first step in this grueling & challenging world, but who are we compared to Najib he's brilliant he's a genius~) He was first assigned into the Cabinets of Malaysia as a Deputy Minister at the age of 25~! yeah nothing to do with his father, remember he was the creme de la creme of his generation~


So when he choosed to board a bus during his meet-the-public tour in Perak, a lot of people were overwhelmed by the gesture of a Prime Minister with such backgrounds, he said 

"It used to be by car but this time we board the bus to meet the people. I want to feel what its like to do away with protocol, There must be no barrier to separate leaders and the people,"

Heartwarming? not for so long~ because last time i was in a Rapid KL or Transnasional bus i vividly remembered dat my seat wasn't a spacious & luxurious leather sofas with coffee table~!

 So i guess that is as good as it can be for him to experience people's hardships, so whatever he said about 'berjimat-cermat', spend the money wisely & blah blah blah regarding fuel & food price hike, it was the comedy of the year~! (fact : asked any hotel manager how much they spent on new curtains, carpet & etc for Najib & Rosmah 1 night stay, yeah 1 night~!)

Well Abang Jib, Michael Jackson said.

'Im starting with the man in the mirror,

Im asking him to change his ways,

And no message could haven been any clearer'

But im afraid that's not your case.

Just for fun comparison this is Nik Aziz's house in Pulau Melaka, Kelantan for decades

This is Mat Sabu's house, a typical 'rakyat' terrace house

This is typical Malaysia's prison cell where Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Guang Eng, Mat Sabu, Mahfuz Omar has been locked up in

Not to forget Tuan Guru Haji Hadi house in Marang

So who really portrayed the 'Man in the mirror' lyric, 'lead by example', 'pemimpin berjiwa rakyat' slogans in their life? you decide for yourself. 

Malaysians 'cakap tak serupa bikin' culture~

Yup we Malaysians are quite famous with this kind of culture, unfortunately most of them are not so cool, annoying, and very inconsiderate to others. But looking at it from different perspectives it is quite unique & funny~ these are some of the examples :


1. Everybody wants a wider & spacious road but everybody still practice double or triple parking

    
    Quite often, the illegal parking spot will be considered as 'locally legal' since dat's the standard practice




2. Everybody wants a clean city but yet everybody still litter, owh i can totally post a new topic about this~ yeah we keep saying that our singaporean neighbours have a cleaner city because they are more developed, better equipped, have a strict law & blah blah blah the list goes on, but for comparison even our other neighbour cities such as Palembang, Indonesia & Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam have cleaner city than us, In fact Palembang won an ASEAN award as the cleanest city in 2008 if im not mistaken. ashamed? yes we should~!

Jalan Bukit Bintang                 

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Populated yes but ain't dirty~

    Palembang, Indonesia. (ASEAN Cleanest city 2008)

Japan~ every inches scrubbed~! ideally that's the target

3. Everybody wants a good governance, corruption free, and fair country but does everybody practice it? We tend to blame others (policemen is the usual suspect for collecting 'duit kopi') but everybody have their own responsibility. Here are some example of small minor stuffs that we overlooked : 

a) If we don't offer 'duit kopi' & nobody practice it no policemen will dare to ask for it~

b) We are hired & paid to work let say 8 hours everyday but do we really work for 8 hours? minus 

nonsense chit-chating minus mc-dreamy moment minus FB moment how much left? Then claim overtime some more~

c)  Let say we submit a transport claim fr or employer for every km that we travelled,some claim 50km transport fee for a 30km journey some claim rm50 taxi fee for a rm15 train fee~ 

The point here is no matter how evil is your boss no matter how corrupted is your company you must be honest to yourself, have the self integrity, only then you can achieve the inner peace for a better life (one of the reasons why even billionaire who have everything cannot have the happiness). For Muslims it is even more important, whatever you earned to feed yourself & your family, make sure it came from a clean source because every cent counts. Without 'barakah' it is impossible to completely achieve what you want.

So for conclusion it is actually a culture that we can't be proud off but changes can be done one step at a time~ 'STARTING WITH MAN IN THE MIRROR'

Welcome to 'Flying Kedai Kopi' what would it be?

Once again welcome to my blog~ I guess this is the best channel for me to 'membebel' about everything happening around us rather than spamming everybody's facebook wall~ I do consider most of my perspectives as 'brilliant' although most of you won't agree which will make it very exciting~! I will write about everything but just to give you a glimpse of what it would be here are the list of my current 'membebel' interests:


1. Football (Im a Red Devil's supporter since 1994)
2. Local Politics (i'll try to be neutral and write stuffs with facts since both side hv pros & cons {but my 'undi bocor' goes to PR})
3. Fitness, Health & Science (At the moment addicted to running, u can check my runkeeper records on FB which i'll try to incorporate with this blog)
4. Aviation (since im working with an airline~)
5. Cooking, one of my hobby
6. Movies (never missed a movie that i intended to watch~!)
7. Musics, entertainment, jokes & etc etc etc


So let's do it & feel free to be part of it~ admit it, an intellectual argument is quite fun~!
