Selamat Pagi Jesselton

Dad had catch the 6:05am flight to Kota Kinabalu so that means I had to wake up at freakin' 4:30am just to be able to send him to the airport. Well what must be done, must be done I always say.

Anyway, after I dropped my dad off I decided to visit the Lido market to get some food. It's quite a new experience for me although I've been here a couple of times. I also found out that Jesselton doesn't only have the best sunsets, it's also got the best sunrise! I've made up my mind to try getting up early tomorrow to snap a few good ones..hopefully I can wake up though!

So the PM will meet up with our CM Musa next Monday, NOT to discuss the worries and issues affecting general Sabahans but rather Sabah BN politicians only. Even the Sarawakians are demanding more positions in the federal cabinet. You know it's quite funny how they say Sabah BN 'deserves' more places in the federal cabinet. I mean surely they don't 'deserve' it. Have they even worked for it? In fact, Sabah BN didn't really do well but rather the Peninsula BN did bad. In any case, Sabah politicians have done quite a lot of damage to the image of Sabahans projected to the rest of Malaysia. Remember 'bocor'? Isn't he the orang utan from Kinabatangan? I wouldn't even call him an orang utan because at least the orang utans are bringing in a lot of much needed tourism money. What has this guy done for the orang Kinabatangan except plunder the forest reserves? What about Shafie Apdal? Wasn't he the one who messed up domestic trade with all these restrictions on cooking oil and diesel? Is he even QUALIFIED to be Minister of Domestic Trade? And now when he is 'relegated' to Culture, Heritage and Arts, Sabah BN is making all these big hoo hah.

And the poor uneducated masses do not even know the political realities facing them by still voting for these idiots. But I don't blame them really. Malaysia's democratic system only requires the politician to make his electorates happy to stay in power. And mind you, these people in the rural areas of Sabah are quite easily contented and manipulated by these cunning people.

This has got to do with the education system in the country and state. Raja Petra wrote on his blog today asking why Malaysia cannot spend just a fraction of the petroleum money to build more schools and good universities. Here's the answer: The reason why Malaysia and Sabah do not improve on their education system is because they know that if that happens, the citizens will rise up and vote AGAINST them because the educated people see through Barisan Nasional's lies and folly crystal clear.

It remains to be seen what will transpire from the much-anticipated meeting between the CM and PM. Sabah BN leaders claim to want more cabinet positions on the pretext that they want a bigger Sabah voice to voice our Sabahan concerns. Bullshit! You could have voiced out Sabah concerns a long time ago. In the end, we still have dogs running the country and state. The only question is, which dog will win the dogfight?
