PAS is a serial Divorcee

Now EngLang didn't say that. On the Beat, Wong CW did in the Star, your friendly glocal newspaper. He said so in his article, Marrying when it is convenient

Why did Wong Chun Wai say so?

According to Wong ::

1. Pas married BN/Alliance in 1974 for 5 years and then they divorce

2. Pas married Barisan Alternatif in 1999 and that ended in divorce.

3. Umno claims now that it is married to Pas after exchanging rings in Sungei Kandis and getting engaged in Seri Setia

It should also be pointed out that Pas was also in a marriage called Pakatan Rakyat during the years leading up to GE13 and for a couple of years after.

After having "slept" around with so many different partners, Pas now claims Umno to be "flirting siblings" and unlikely to have an "incestuous marriage". But before that, the question is whether should siblings be flirting?

Whatever, it is quite obvious that Pas has proven not to be a good marriage partner after so many divorces. So Umno could be courting trouble if the marriage is solemnised.

Please don't let me detract those who haven't, please do read Wong CW's article in full.

Local Anti-Vaxxers Hard at work

Lately there was a 2 year old who died of diphtheria infection and another child in the family was infected

Now why do parents allow their infants and children to be exposed to such vaccine preventable dieass by not having them vaccinated.

Childhood vaccines are given free to infants and children in Malaysia under the National Immunisation Programme. This programme has been promoted all the time and more so after 2016 when the MOH discovered that there were groups of anti-vaxxers. They are ones influenced by family members, community members and the internet to not have their infants and children vaccinated against vaccine preventable diseases. Anti-vaxxers are said to be on the rise and they are not limited to the rural folks.

Malaysian or Malay Agenda

Malaysians are at it again. Soon after the wins in the Cameron Highlands and Semenyih by-elections, Umno and Pas have decided to formalise their "marriage" to promote their Malay Agenda.

Meanwhile, voices in Pakatan have come out to support a more pro-Bumi agenda, while others claimed the Umno-Pas union is targeting the non-Malays. Are we going back to the Malaysia of 1Malaysia Days or is it going to be Malaysia Baru or Better Malaysia??????

The Rakyat has to decide. Only after 10 months of Pakatan and plenty are depressed. And now the 8th by-election looms. Will the Malaysian or Malay Agenda wins?

Baru bolih build its Lebuhraya Rakyat

It's the Economy, Stupid

Why has Pakatan lost in the last 2 by-elections?

Now who said that?

What has happened Post GE14? Just check out these articles ::

1. How to talk about the Malaysian Economy Post GE14

2. Malaysia’s economy suffers as political instability continues post GE14

3. MCA: Malaysia suffering post-GE14

As a retiree with no income except for what the "nest egg" can generate from fixed deposits, rental(s) maybe, and reit dividends, a walk in the market place (not the Bursa) will tell you that the economy is not good. A small piece of kueh cost more than before and the price of "economy beehoon" will set you back RM2 or more. Lim Guan Eng and BNM will tell you the fundamentals are strong but how many retirees can claim that to be true looking at the 3-4% FD interest currently to be encountered.

.

To some who still have not cashed out their EPF savings, the recent EPF declarations of 6.15% for conventional and 5.9% were very welcomed.

For 2018, post GE14, the Bursa fell, mutual funds went south 10-15%, SST was implemented and despite GST demise, cost of living went up.

So what can retirees do?

Coming up next......time to consult the investment guruji/bomoh.....once again

After The "Incestous Marriage" of UMNO PAS

After the "incestous marriage" of UMNO PAS will state governments fall?

Tun says he no worry man. But should he be?

Perak and Kedah are states with tiniest of majorites. Presently "Malu Apa Bossku" holds sway and there are frogs lying in wait.

Perak State Assembly

PH = 30

UMNO = 25

PAS = 3

Independent = 1

Kedah

State Assembly

PH = 19

UMNO = 15

PAS = 2

The Rakyat will likely know in the days to come. Pakatan has to be worried.

Shutting down Google+ for consumer (personal) accounts on April 2, 2019

Just noticed this that Google + will be shutting down as soon as 2nd April 2019.

The announcement was posted in January 2019 and many might have missed this.

Download to another storgae whatever you wat to save by end of March 2019.

So be warned, even if it is a little late.

Post GE14

GE 14 is over....Pakatan is now in power......notice anything different? The air, maybe. smells better. perhaps. Noticed any other changes.

1MDB has be bisected and dissected and vivisected and the carcass kept in the cold storage in a morgue somewhere.

Najib and his Rosie have been charged but still have not been delivered to the Bamboo Resort. Meanwhile "Malu Apa Bossku" rules

Jho Low is still in the wilderness, might be Macau, Xinjiang or even in Damansara?

Billion Dollar Whale has seen the light of day and has been read and re-read by some. Movies rights are said to have been purchased by one demure lady born in Ipoh.

7 by-elections have gone by and Pakatan has lost 2. More are to come for Pakatan to lose, maybe, if it doesn't buckup.

Race and religion issues are again being highlighted and things might get worse with this official marriage,someone has called it incestous.

Pulau Kukup has been degazetted and now re-gazetted. It is obvious that there are too many "Thai Eng" (too free) people around, what to do is the carrion call.

After all the above and more it is time to move on........... BolehLand can take care of herself.

(to be continued at a leisurely pace...being almost fully retired and almost catching up with the Tun aka Cetdet
