RNDP journal: Dare not to think about Co-existent

Title : Dare not to think about Co-existent

It translated piece of editorial page in RNDP journal issued in Oct 2012..they even cited Hitler and Echimen as German hero..

My FRIEND in Singapore translated this.

There are many discussions going on at every corner of towns, tea shop, bar, food stalls,even vegetables seller in streets like a story of thriller movie,weather to co-exist or split with Rakhine and Kalar ( Kalar refer to discriminated word to Rohingya). 75 years ago just before Burma got liberation, there was the same issue of co-exist or split with India. But then all Burmese unitedly voiced out to split from India.

THE QUESTION that needs to be asked of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi is: Are you a racist? The same question should also be asked of Burma’s President, Thein Sein.

This is not an easy question, but it has to be asked. The reason? The survival of the Rohingya people of Burma rides on the answers.

To go or not to go

Source: To go or not to go CONTRADICTHEORY By DZOF ADZMI in StarOnline

Recently, a friend of mine posted an announcement on Facebook that she was leaving Malaysia. She was sick and tired of its failings as a country, and she saw no progress at all.

My initial reaction when reading this was sadness, followed by an urge to ask her to stay and help make this country better – forgetting that she has basically been trying to do that for the last few years in her own way.

Another part of me wanted to say “Never mind the idiots”, but I suspect she believes that it is the idiots who get the most press coverage, and evidence of their idiocy is prevalent 24/7.

But why should I try to stop her, if at the end of the day she believes that leaving the country is what’s needed to be better? I myself advocate going abroad to study or for work experience as it develops a more rounded view of the world with all its eccentricities and foibles.

Of these, some 40% have secondary education while in recent years, some 40% had no formal education at all.

My disappointment with Hula hoops swing failure

During my Primary School days in Kingswood Kalaw, it was popular and I could swing 1500-5000 continuously without dropping once. BUT, now, I saw hula hoops at my friend’s Sports Shop, I am embarrassed and disappointed because I even failed to successfully swing ONCE because of my protruding tummy.
