Malaysia is in shock

Malaysians have made their choice! Though Barisan Nasional (BN) will form the next government winning more than half of the Parliamentary seats and the federal territory, five states have been won by the Opposition making this election the worst ever election performance for BN.

The five states won by the Opposition are Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor and Kelantan. The Opposition parties are DAP, PKR and PAS.

The State of Parliament thus stands at:

..BN = 136
..Opposition = 80 (PKR = 29; DAP = 28; PAS = 23)

Among the results yesterday were:

- The Barisan lost Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor,

- PAS strengthened grip on Kelantan,

- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting won in their seats,

- Among ministers who lost their seats were Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin,

- Gerakan acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon lost to Dr P. Ramasamy in the Batu Kawan parliamentary seat.

Meanwhile, party leaders urged for calm and police have banned all victory celebrations.

Here's a video clip of the PM's post-election press conference

Friday Frolics: Could You Be Violent?

LOL on this one.

There's Not a Violent Bone in Your Body

You're cool and collected, even when someone really gets under your skin. And while you don't blow up when you're angry, you know how to express your anger calmly. You don't bottle emotions up or let them get out of control. For you, violence would never be an option.

Could You Be Violent?

Small Business Phone Systems

I've heard of telephone-operators having free time to clip or paint their nails or engage in other beauty routines. Probably, not every telephone operator is so lucky to have so much free time on her hands.

Over here, it's not uncommon for a group of companies banding together to share a main telephone switchboard or answering service. Some of these companies are just a one-man show needing only a desk and someone to take calls and that telephone answering service suits them just fine. Thanks to the availability of small business phone systems, this arrangement is possible and indeed most helpful. In this case, there won't be much time left for the one tending the switchboard to do any personal stuff, would there?

Food Under Cover

The above caption is so appropriate for the Malaysian environment. But then again, I'm glad KL is not in a desert region. Still, it would serve our vehicles good if each one is covered with a car cover to protect against dust and other weather conditions. It is dusty here! And to think that we sit by the roadside enjoying our noodles and stuff. Mind-boggling! Perhaps, we need to eat under a cover?! lol

What's In A Name?! Lots!

This morning's radio show had the DJs talking about names of companies that they came across. What's in a name?!. Lots, I should think.

I heard of someone, a Chinese gentleman, having a name, "Oh Oh Oh".

Last name: Oh.
Middle Name: Oh
First Name: Oh

No kidding! Imagine his anguish.

In fact, this type of bungle happened a lot in the old days here where some of the older Chinese folks (immigrants) were not quite so literate. Being in a foreign land with a foreign language altogether, complicated matters more.

This story is most apt.

What's In A Name

Walking through Chinatown, a tourist is fascinated with all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and banners. He turns a corner and sees a building with the sign, "Hans Olaffsen's Laundry." "Hans Olaffsen?", he muses. "How the heck does that fit in here?"

So he walks into the shop and sees an old Chinese gentleman behind the counter.

The tourist asks, "How did this place get a name like "Hans Olaffsen's Laundry?"

The old man answers, "Is name of owner."

The tourist asks, "Well, who and where is the owner?"

"Me, is right here," replies the old man.

"You? How did you ever get a name like Hans Olaffsen?"

"Is simple," says the old man. "Many, many year ago when come to this country, was stand in line at Documentation Center. Man in front was big blonde Swede. Lady look at him and go, "What your name?" He say, "Hans Olaffsen."

Then she look at me and go, 'What your name?'" "I say, Sem Ting."

Malaysians, Are You Ready?

Saturday, March 8 is THE DAY! Are you ready?

The banner-and-buntings war is heating up with these 'decorations' found at every turn and corner, even trees are sprouting flags.

This time around, there are flags of only three prominent parties. The ruling party's is a weighing scale against a blue background - as circled in red in the picture.

Circled in green are flags of the two opposition parties. One is something like a green version of the Japanese flag, the other is a turquoise/white with red edgings. The latter is a combination of two opposition parties thus the combination of colours.
