Why Cant We Just Be Proud?

For three days since my last update, I have no idea of what to write in this piece of diary known as Blog. It seems all the good ones that mark 1 million hits or more writes about politics.

I don't read much newspapers these days, so I thought I read The Sun today, it was interesting to read Tun M's open letter at page 7 of The Sun putting his case against the the former Director of ACA and in particular Dato Param Cumarasamy. It was even more interesting to read the Federal Consumer Association thought it was a bad idea to send more than 100 of our First Batallion to perform their duties as the Queen's Guard in London.

On Malaysia Hari Ini, I watched with great interest the ceremony of the changing of Guards at the Istana Negara. Apparently it is perform twice a month and only on Saturday. In 1991, I was invited to watched Trooping the Colour in Honour of the Queens Birthday from the Horse Guards Parade. It was an event I wish we have it here at home.

So, it was good to know 122 of the First Batallion will be send to London by Mid April for two months to perform their duties as the Queen's Guard at Buckingham Palace, St James Palace, Tower of London and Windsor Castle. I cant wait to see our boys, largely dark skin gurkhas lookalike walking, marching, parading around Buckingham Palace with "Sampin". Mind you the English call it "Skirts". Dirty Buggers arent they?

I was even more pleased to know they chose Malaysia after Canada, Australia and Jamaica.

The excitement was put off when the Federal Consumer Association thought it was a bad idea, to them it is a waste of public money, they thought the money could be used for better things like having more guards at our border. Sending our First Batallion, serve no purpose whatsoever.

In that case, why send our athletes to the Olympics in Beijing, large number of them will not bring back medals anyway. Why give money to develop Football to the Football Association, when the players for many years should kick marbles or rubbish in the cities.

This Consumer Association members, or whomever with them should attend Personality Disorder Test or may be those expert in human behaviour should add Pessimism as another category of Personality Disorder which warrant serious treatment.

Kesian....., these people, they dont see the world they way we see it.
