After last year's Just Follow Law, Jack Neo's back with his new production Ah Long Pte Ltd and the movie is sure to make you laugh and touch your heart following successful movies from the pass such as Liang Po Po, Homerun and I Not Stupid. And the all time favourite co-stars who help enhance the humour part of the movie include Lao Zha Bor and Muthu(the Indian guard in Just Follow Law who always want black & white). Seriously the movie is damn hilarious and before it even being released in the cinemas, i already wrote it in my Must Watch List 2008!

As today was Jason's birthday, we(His gf, Edgar, Yee Piao and me) decided to celebrate with him in Pyramid and headed for a movie(Ah Long Pte Ltd). The whole cinema burst into laughter throughout the movie. After that, we decided to have a group study at Starbucks(okay talking bout my sad story..yeah i studied with them who are all in ACCA and they manage to help me in my preparation for my upcoming Progress Test). I must say i was kinda productive today although i made a move back home first at around 6 to have my dinner and here i am blogging when i'm suppose to study. Should stop here and start studying*sighs* tomorrow got class somemore...zZZ

The election was finally over and as we can see the opposition (i should call them the government actually as i'm in Selangor=P) had won 82 out of the 222 seats in the parliament...The election this year had marked a history in Malaysia as BN faced their greatest defeat (political tsunami as quoted by The Star) since Merdeka (Independence day) although they still had the majority seats. This time round, fresh faces from the opposition had defeated BN contestants which include ministers and well known politicians in many hotspots (even some states) which resulted in resignation of some ministers such as the BN contestant from Sungai Siput...

Dato Seri Samy Vellu(Works Minister, MIC President)

The election results also lead to a former Port Klang assemblyman, Datuk Zakaria Deros dies of HEART ATTACK!!

Also a former Klang municipal councillor, Zakaria hogged headlines last year when he had a run-in with the law for not submitting building plans for a mansion that was described as a virtual “istana” (palace) by his critics.

He was also found to have not paid the assessment for another property for 12 years, while his family was caught operating an illegal satay restaurant on government reserve land.

Due to these controversies, Zakaria gave in to mounting pressure and withdrew from being a municipal councillor.

His mansion has 21 bathrooms and 16 bedrooms, including 11 that are occupied by each of his children, as well as a VIP room, three living rooms, a dining hall and a prayer room.

The house also has a swimming pool, several gazebos, an orchard, a two-hole golf lawn, an office, a storeroom, two rooms for maids as well as a wet kitchen and a dry kitchen. Source: The Star

I think after reading the details on his 'palace' some of you might be thinking how did he make it in life from once a railway gate-keeper to what he is today. I wonder...

Tun Dr. Mahathir: Dan apabila kerajaan sudah sampai kepada satu tahap, menggunakan polis, untuk menghalang, orang tertentu daripada bercakap. Ini bukanlah, satu bukti yang pihak tertentu ini, membuat sesuatu yang baik bagi parti UMNO. Kita dalam UMNO ini, tak perlu menyalahgunakan kuasa. Ada orang yang tuduh, saya pun menyalahgunakan kuasa juga, masa saya dulu. Lihat Datuk Seri Anwar, apa yang terjadi padanya? Saya tangkap, saya taruh masuk dalam...err..tahanan(ISA). Semua orang nampakkan? Saya tangkap Datuk Seri Anwar. Dan...bukannya ada sebab apa pun. Tak ada. Tak ada sebab apa pun. Bukan ada kesalahan apa pun yang dilakukan oleh Datuk Seri Anwar. Tak ada langsung. Sebab itu, ini adalah satu, kezaliman. Ada juga pihak-pihak yang nak buang saya pada masa itu. Tetapi, masa itu susah sikit. Ada kuasa ni, susah nak buang. Sekarang ni, dah tak ada kuasa. Sekarang ni, dah tak ada kuasa. bolehlah buang(dipecat). Waktu ada cadangan, nak buang. Bagi yang ada kuasa, maka, kuasa boleh juga digunakan untuk kebaikan. Kuasa juga boleh digunakan, untuk...err..keburukan. Guna kuasa supaya, sebarang tentangan dihapuskan, supaya suara ramai, tidak dapat disuarakan. Kuasa untuk menutup, akhbarnya, dan tak lama lagi internet pun, akan ditutup juga. Macam-macam lagilah.

UMNO has now become..erm..completely paralysed. Bila kawan dengan pembohong, kita jadi...terdapatlah tabiat itu. Bohong! Pak Lah Bohong! Saya berasa amat sedih. Saya tahu ada rasuah. Ada money politics dalam UMNO. Ada orang yang membuat cadangan tertentu dan bertanya kepada saya. Apakah sekarang ini, saya perlu berhubung, dengan Khairy. Siapa dia Khairy ini? Apakah dia pegawai tinggi kerajaan? Apakah dia Perdana Menteri atau pun Timbalan Perdana Menteri atau pun Menteri? Dia tidak. Dia tidak pegang apa-apa jawatan pun, dalam kerajaan. Tetapi, masing-masing berpendapat mereka, perlu behubung dengan Khairy untuk meluluskan sesuatu.

Regarding the statement in RED, i use this as an example to memorise a topic in my Auditing textbook=) This is known as the Agency Theory and is defined as the relationship which arise in any situation where one person (the agent) acts on behalf of another (the principal). In specific,

Principle=Pak Lah
Agent=Khairy

In business terms, the shareholders own the company, but a different group ie, the directors (the agent) manage and control the company on behalf of the shareholders (the principal). Therefore, directors should take actions which benefit the shareholders, not decisions which benefit the directors personally which in this case is what Khairy is doing. Hmm..i'm sure i won't forget this topic even after my Audit exams=)
