More Happenings

A DAP municipal councillor in Penang, Tham Weng Fatt was summoned while at his girlfriend's pub due to operating the pub without a license. As a municipal councillor, I'm very sure he is aware that his action is wrong. Due to the fact that the present state is run by the DAP gov, he is taking the laws under his own hands. While defending himself, he said that his application was rejected and he has filed an appeal. Even a small kid knows that without a car license, you can't drive; and without an entertainment license, you can't operate a pub. So, does it mean that every single Penangite who applied for a scholarship from the Penang state gov shall have their applications approved?


However, CM Lim Guan Eng is fast at responding to this issue, giving his commitment that action will be taken against Mr Tham if his explanation is unsatisfactory. Let's just wait and see.

Last week, Datuk Seri Wan Azizah has decided to give way to his beloved husband Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim to recontest for a by-election at Permatang Pauh. It is a wise move by Anwar, to avoid any gossip that PKR is controlled fully by his family; and also to what has been claimed by Anwar all along, that his wife was at politics by coincidence. The date has been confirmed. Nomination on 16th Aug and polling on 26th Aug. Both supporters has been busy putting up posters and flags. It is said that Permatang Pauh UMNO Division Chief Datuk Abdul Jalil Abdul Majid has been proposed to contest against Dato' Seri Anwar. I think it'll be an easy win for Dato' Seri Anwar.






As I was searching for related news about the by-election, I found the above picture in one of the websites. What a joke! It's real funny...although at this hour, my sleeping housemate will just wake up upon hearing my laughter....I would say the PR supporters are really creative (even during the March 8 election), but putting their talent to waste.




Other happenings this week: among others is the Beijing Olympics on 08.08.08. For the Chinese, the number '8' is an auspicious number. It symbolizes wealth and luck. However, prior to the Olympics, China was hit by a big earthquake at Sichuan costing many many innocent lives. After the incident, all the Chinese community around the world stood together to lend a helping hand to the victims and together, they managed to pull through this difficult time. Let's just hope the opening ceremony goes on peacefully and joyfully as it is rumoured to be in danger of terrorists attacks. Hopefully it stays on as only 'rumour'.




I have a very close friend who will have his R.O.M. on the same date, 08.08.08. I had mine last year 08.08.07, so this year, it'll be my first anniversary. Good luck to you bro Chris and may you and Janice stay a lovely couple forever and ever....
