MH370 : Maybe the answer has been staring at us all these while

 
We, non-stakeholders are on a need to know basis. Some information which are deemed to be too sensitive will never be released, that we got to accept. 

We need to read and listen properly, think of who (or their assets) has been going out of their way to give misleading information, out to make Malaysia look bad in every sense? Who has been pointing in one direction and adamant that's the right one. Who always seem to be policing the world, knowing every nook and crannies of the deepest cave, eyes trained on every spot on earth, yet now keeping mum, funnily none of the so called respectable media's are calling them out. 

As much as love our nation, I don't believe we are capable of such cover up, so who do you think is responsible for either the whole thing or its cover up. I understand withholding information pending investigation, but eventually the ought to be some conclusion, I don't mind waiting. 

The most important thing right now is to find the aircraft with all the passengers and crew alive and safe.

Occam's Razor perhaps? #mh370 #prayformh370

Allies but never friends?

On this solemn Friday, I woke up to discover that I've earned my first Facebook stripes of honor of the year. I have been unfriended for standing and speaking up for what I believe in. In a way I am proud to know that the persons thinks I am a big enough threat to the universe that revolves around them. 

I am also glad I never told them not to think too highly of themselves, I don't make a post specially for one person, I only write when I think the issue is too rampant, I don't either have the time or energy just to rant about anyone in specific.

There are many more who don't believe in putting another person in their place for differences in opinions, that's why we can coexist peacefully, for this I am thankful. Friendships, both in real life and on social media are too precious to be confined within the limitations of sharing the same ideals and opinions, it's the varieties that makes us all the more interesting. 

While I am a tiny bit disappointed, I realized something else, perhaps we were just foot soldiers of the same allies who met and fought alongside each other in the same war, but we never really became friends. And because of that, a battle that sees us on the opposite end ends what could have been a good friendship.

Have a great weekend peeps.

#pray4mh370 : They are doing their job, what are you doing?

I think it's about time you good people realize that there must be a real good reason for MAS and the government of Malaysia for being tight-lipped about the on going investigation of #mh370. Look at all possible angles, think hard, read between the lines and then think again. But more importantly, stop your ceaseless complainings, questioning MAS decision to have their very own 'crisis management team' instead of hiring one ( I doubt they are taking any cost cutting measure at this point), and also accusing them of inefficiency and slow in responding. Think of the possibility that this may be bigger than we think it is. And trust me when I say that even with the 'controlled information' there's so much rubbish flying around on social media, it will be worse when the truth is out. These BIAWAKs impersonating concerned citizens just want more juice so that they can continue flaunting their 'intelligence' and communication prowess, it's frustrating that everything they want to say someone else has said it better. 

We as a nation has never faced this situation in the the same circumstances. Tanjung Kupang was eon ago, and there's no social media then just a bunch of people hanging at the village coffee shop. Things has got to be handled differently this time, especially considering the circumstances surrounding/leading to the event. The government and MAS are not interested in feeding your curiosity, their main mission is to find the plane. Period.
There's real people out there carrying what's considered the biggest search and rescue mission ever. People using their expertise in this moment of crisis with only one purpose, to recover the plane with all the crew and passengers, hopefully alive and well. 

And then there's the chameleon experts on social media - commonly known as BIAWAK, their area of expertise seems to switch from one to another depending on the trending topic. They complain about everything, have an opinion on every single topic discussed, they diss everyone for not doing their job properly, they think the government doesn't know what they are doing, they compliment to high heaven anything foreign, be it media for sensational reportings or for sending help in the SAR mission.

So go ahead and whine, read all stories and rumour from mainstream media and unverified sources. Believe what you want, be share-happy as much as it makes you happy. Study and investigate all the possible conspiracy theories that you come across. Take it personally that they are just doing this to irritate you.

Or you can join me in continuing with praying for the best, as we wait for official statements from the authorities. At this juncture, anything else doesn't carry weight to me, be it fron CNN or Awani I take them as unsubstantiated rumors and there's nothing more to it. Let's wait for the plane to be found, then you guys can work on your human stories all you want. I promise to commend how smart and eloquent you are then.

Is this the kind of material our nation is reading?

I'd ban the book even without the use of the word Allah. Look at the atrocious grammar and mangled Bahasa Melayu used!

If there's anyone that you people should be upset of, it's the publisher and the editor for such shoddy job which has let to a major public outcry and making us as a nation look bad especially after the mala fide kind of reporting by Malaysiakini and it's kind. I do believe it was done on purpose, to see how far they can push the use of the word amidst all the Herald controversy and to continue vilify the BN led government.

Oh for heaven's sake, if you are so worried of depriving you and the rest of Malaysian fans of the this copy of the Ultraman saga, go ask the publisher to retranslate the book, and do it without the Google Translate standard of translation. I bet there won't be any banning this time!

To those who thinks that no child or adult will get confused by such translation, all I got to sat is not everyone had your privileged growing up years (and not say to you 'case and point...'), lucky you. Hope you raise your children to be better than you. Make sure they don't read books and magazines with bad translation and terrible grammar either, or they may end up not as well as you are.
