Out of my two failed attempts at blogging, I reflected and pondered where I went wrong. I realized it was content. Who gives two cents reading someone’s personal ramblings? I’ve read some of those types of blogs and my interest on them is best described as a gold fish’s memory; its forgotten after 4 secs.

Inspiration…Where Art thou?
In IAG's Notes on 25 September 2008 at 1pmTo my dear readers,
I know and I do apologize for I have been quiet since my last post. Finding time to do the things one loves is a luxury that requires much sacrifice in time and energy.
The “End of the Decade” Curse Part I
In Politics on 22 September 2008 at 2pmAs an indirect result of the striking of UMNO as an unlawful society and the confrontation between the government and the judiciary, a judicial crisis sparked off later that year. The then Lord President, Tun Salleh Abbas was sacked and several high court judges were transferred to other divisions. This brought a wrath of criticism against Mahathir as it was seen that the judiciary was no longer an independent institution as enshrined in the constitution but became part of the government machinery.

The “End of the Decade” Curse Part II
In Politics on 22 September 2008 at 2pmThe extravagant loss for BN was attributed to Abdullah’s weak leadership, his flip-flop, indecisive, and slow reaction attitude towards decision making, scraping of many mega-projects among them the crooked bridge and the double railway tracking project, failure to deliver his promises of reforms and weed out graft and corruption, increased racial sentiments, UMNO becoming more arrogant and racist, the gagging of the media, the involvement of his son and son-in-law in the distribution of wealth and projects to their cronies, increase in petrol prices and the cost of living, mismanagement of the economy, wasteful spending of tax payer’s money and a decrease in business competitiveness.

The “End of the Decade” Curse Part III
In Politics on 15 September 2008 at 12amHome Minister, Syed Hamid Syed Albar said that Tan was detained because her life was in danger. If so, why was Anwar Ibrahim not detained under the ISA when he sought protection in the Turkish embassy when he claimed that his life was threatened. Why did the police not detain Saiful Bukhari Azlan under the ISA for his life was also threatened when he reported of being sodomized by Anwar. Why was PI Bala not detained under the ISA when he claimed that he and his family was under threat after making a statutory declaration of Najib’s involvement in the Altantuya case? Till today, there is no news of him or his whereabouts.

Mass Defections: BN Thinly Holding On To Power
In News, Politics on 8 September 2008 at 11pmThis is the third scenario of my 3 series D-day prediction for the BN and PR come Sept 16.

Is the third scenario likely to happen? The unfolding of events in the days to come will provide us to some clues as to which of these 3 scenarios will most likely materialize.

The Times They Are a-Changin’
In Politics on 3 September 2008 at 11pmNo longer will the generation X’s and Y’s buy in to the propaganda of the ruling party. No longer do we want to be spooned fed with information or do we want our opinions to be formed on what the leaders want. We seek and form our own opinions and we have the Internet as our field to share and disperse our ideals, opinions and views.
