Memory of Ngu King Lee

Ngu King Lee's life is no doubt a tragedy though he would have been a highly respected gentleman living a peaceful and happy family life.  In the days of his struggle in the political field, he suffered greatly being subject to all sorts of pressures not only from his peers, but also from his family.  Before he joined politics, he was a simple clerk in a council office.  He was invited by the then mayor to join his bank and he could have just worked on until he retired with no much disruption at all. But due to the fire of leftist movement, he was also drawn into the struggle and thence there was no return path.  He joined the open political party worked his way up active in politics and labour movement too.  He was also chosen by the leftists in their underground activities as a leader in the open front.  After the Brunei Incident, he was also detained in the detention camp.  He was later released after the Sri Aman Peace Accord and went back to work in the bank. During this time,he had big trouble with his comrades and some chose to attack him for being weak and wavering in his stand.  Being an honest and conscientious man he could not stand the fierce attacks of his erstwhile friends and comrades . Also at this time there was also rumour of his matrimonial relationship.  So the last straw broke the camel's back, he chose to jump from the flat of the hospital he lodged and died instantly. Thus ended the life of an honest and kind man who should be respected for his sincerity and simple but true wishes for the betterment of the life of the people at heart.

Something Wrong With The System

When Bo Se Lai first started his resolute campaign of anti-corruption and anti-black Society, we naturally expected him to be going something worthy , namely to weep out the bad elements in the society, But as things now began to unfold  it seems that many things are not what they appear to be. Bo unfortunately is himself a corrupt leader abusing his powers to make himself the king of Chung King.  Surely we have found repeatedly that the present socialist system of China has a lot of room to improve and it is high time that there should a big clean up of the system in order to let it function in a real democratic manner since many lives have been sacrificed and enormous cost being caused by the revolution.   The capitalist system of democracy is pseudo-democracy and on the other hand, the socialist system of new democracy has to be revamped and reformed in order to build a really fair and just society . There is still a long way to go. We all need to thinking hard on this.

Matter of Life and Death

When I heard my niece was having cancer of the colon, I was rather disturbed and uneasy. She is only in the late twenties and apparently it is a bad news.  The main thing is she may have to change her life style carefully choosing the healthy food, stop taking junk food, oily and fatty foods.  Because of her calling she has been sitting most of the time in work and at home she also does not move around much. Besides, she doesn't exercise much while eating a lot of junk food while viewing the T/V and computer.The earliest sign of constipation and difficulty in passing stool did not alert her to being anything untoward ending in more serious condition. Cancer is a deadly condition mostly and unless treated in early stages, it would often be fatal.  So now the importance of keeping good health and live an active and health-conscious life is not to be taken lightly. On the contrary it is a matter of life and death. So beware !

A Fat Fat Cousin

My cousin has been my close friend since childhood. She is a jolly good girl of very good nature and good tempered.  We developed a sort of puppy love as we were playing together all the time in the Japanese occupation time. We played games and even played our parts of bridegroom and bride ending in embracing and intimacy but there was no obscene act as we didn't even know about sex at that time. After the Japanese time, we met again in town and she grew up to be a pretty girl.  She had become a bit shy and reserved. In school she did well and then later got a job in a finance company.  It has been a long time since I met her and I found she has grown up rather plump. Her marriage life was not too happy partly due to her being very fat and the husband was not too faithful too.  At the time of retirement, they divorced . She is now a lonely woman as her only daughter has married and moved to other state.  It is a pity that I met her again looking very fat and lonely.  She has to look after her mother who had stroke and bedridden.  I advised her to try to loose weight at all cost but she said it was impossible as she had little happiness besides eating which is indeed a pity. It is just that some people do not care about health nor taking advice from others even at the point of life and death. When we see clearly they surely face very bleak future and downfall it is a great pain indeed.

They Never Learn

I think they never learn a lesson from the past history even the recent events in other countries or else they would not try to fool people by covering up the case of Zhou Min Foo and the cow affairs. The more they try to cover up the more people would like to know and to uncover to find the dirt under the carpet. When they still try to pull in the politically bankrupt comrade in arm they are actually poisoning their chances of being elected. It only adds fuels to the fire that would certainly condemn those corrupt gang to death in the coming election. They have very cunning foxes in their rank and surely they are aware of the deteriorating situation but perhaps they just cannot cope with that. That is why in other countries we have witnessed the fall of so many obsolete regimes. It is impossible to go against the will of the people!hahajin wordpress com

No Offense Intended

In the matter of superstition and beliefs, I think I have inaverdently offended some friends and acquantances but I must admit I am not doing it to please anybody or anyone in particular. I am doing it for the sole purpose of letting people see what is the real truth and fact.  In the Dark Ages, religion had no doubt served to restore the old society from barbarian stage to a more orderly life. In the old days, many natural phenomena are taken as the angers of the unknown gods etc but it is too much to attribute our modern world to such crude and far-fetched reasoning or rather imaginings.  That is why I want my friends to think for themselves and don't depend on the holy books to explain everything for you or even run your entire life on it.  I know many of you are with good intention and live very spartan life and mean no harm to anybody but by your belief you are doing things contrary to the course of nature and development and  cause the society to go backward. I do not think you have thought of this before and even if you have you just cannot help yourselves after you are sworn in to the sacred order.  Whether you agree or not I still want you to know the truth and lead life without being drwan into such muddled pools of hardcore superstition!

How Can We Believe ?

I think we have to be honest in everything especially when it is a matter of vital importance namely our belief.  How can we believe that the food will be dropped from heaven just by praying and how can the Red Sea open itself to allow the Israelites to walk across her? How can a virgin conceive and give birth to a baby without any sexual intercourse or artificial impregnation or insemination?  Black is black and white is white. There is no compromise nor logical argument at all no matter whether you are the most notable doctor of philosophy or other topmost scholar. I just cannot make myself  believe in the impossible! When you see so many people are involved in this God business, the believers, the worshippers, the ignominious amount of resources in manpower and others, you would see how much has been wasted in such fruitless pursuit. When we recollect the past dark ages and ancient times, we can understand the value of such beliefs when the knowledge of our world was still minimum . But with the progress with scientific researches and discoveries, it is ridiculous to say that quite a few are still holding the old beliefs on heavenly father etc.  Wake up all men and women, don't waste your lives on such far-fetched and meaningless imaginings or even fantasies. Let us be more realistic and watch our every step to guard against any weaknesses and ignorance. Work hard to make honest living, keep all the rules for good health both spiritually and physically. We don't need a heavenly father to protect us nor is there such a thing as supernatural power or spirit. All those gods and spirits are just imaginations and creations of the so-called prophets etc. Believe in ourselves and be strong!
