It's nice to know that the government is that good in making a quick buck outta all of us. I really have no intention of landing myself in prison and charged with ISA. Thought the communist is long gone, the ISA is still happily around so considering that I'm no where near royalty or being as popular as Raja Petra. I'll keep my mouth shut.
But it doesn't hurt to post this up and educated the public right? So there you go, read it, pass it around, debate about it at your local mamak, write in your memos somewhere not to vote for the government in the next election, whatever.

Just a quick note: I cannot stand KJ! I loathe him and I loathe the day he was born. Sounds extreme? I just don't have an ounce of respect for that idiot.
Despite his background in journalism and investment banking, and his university education at Oxford University and University College London in the UK, (perhaps he left his brains there, considering how rich he is, someone please convince him to courier his brains back to Malaysia) he just had to opened his BIG mouth and spew shit by claiming that the Chinese communities in Malaysia will take advantage of the Malays if UMNO is weak.
The most laughable of his stupidity was when he wanted to rebrand Mat Rempits as Mat Cermerlang. I suppose considering that KJ probably has police escorts everywhere he goes, he doesn't get heckled by the Mat Rempits on the street like us normal people. We are all aware that it's the Mat Rempits that causes us trouble on the street. There are countless of News papers articles of Mat Rempits smashing windows and robbing and raping female drivers are common and this idiot wants them to be the Eyes and Ears for the Malaysian Police Force? What was he thinking, oh wait, was he even thinking? Does KJ even have eyes to read the papers and ears to hear the complaints. Damn, the idiot needs a brain. A working one that is.
"Mat Rempit" is a derogatory term used to refer to Malay youths involved in illegal racing with the aim of winning drugs, prostitutes and/or cash using (illegally) modified motorcycles. Some analysts believe that UMNO Youth was trying to cash in on the large numbers of "Mat Rempits" in Malaysia as preparation for the upcoming elections. The suggestion by Khairy that "Mat Rempits" should become the "Eyes and Ears" for the Malaysian Police Force has sparked anger among former victims of "Mat Rempits", who previously had their vehicles smashed by "Mat Rempits" - wikipedia
Mr KJ suffers from foot in the mouth syndrome, over-ambition, ruthlessness in getting what he wants, lack of respect for other races. He needs to get off his high horse, grow a brain (if it's not too late) and learn to respect others (something that apparently wasn't taught in the university he attended or was he fast asleep or fooling around in class)
