Malaysia, oh Malaysia.... where art thou?

Well, it seems i've rekindled a hidden urge to jot down all things good and lame.... I had a blog once, it lasted 1 month. That's a bleakin' record! hahaha, i'm hoping this blog lasts longer.

Actually, my decision to start this blog was this headline in the News Straits Times yesterday:

"Witness in MACC probe found dead"

The "witness" was Teoh Beng Hock, a political aide, family man, and father to be. He leaves behind a very distraught fiance who is 2 months pregnant.

I'm sure all of you are wondering, "what the hell does that have to do with anything?"

Well, let me put it this way :

I'm accustomed to expressing how much i disagree with the way the Malaysian Government has chosen to run things, usually on notes in Facebook or a change in my status, and for those who know me personally, then you know i can be pretty damn harsh sometimes....

Facebook's a great medium, but i figured, if i can log into facebook everyday, then why can't i blog just as often?

I have plenty of issues to discuss... politics, religion, race, prejudice, rights.... so be warned : this isn't a simple blog chronicling (is that a word?) my lifes or loves.... this blog is dedicated to all things that are conspiring in this country of mine.... good and bad (mostly the latter)

Please note, however : these are MY opinions, MY words, and what i say in this blog is MY RESPONSIBILITY

i am aware of how rumours get started, so this blog isn't a launching site. i'm only using facts that i quote from various sources. i will list my sources just in case you lot decide you wanna see the real thing for yourself.

sometimes the truth is hard to hear, but it needs to be said. how else are we planning to grow as a country? as a nation? as people?

if you guys notice, the heading states : They Must Think We Live On Mars; i'm referring to the government, and how they've chosen to hide the real facts from us, deeming us too stupid to handle the truth or figure it out for ourselves...

case in point : the police have ruled out foul play as c.o.d. in the Teoh Beng Hock case, instead they've classified it as "sudden death" (malaysiakini.com)

They must think we live on mars if they expect us to believe that statement... Mr.Teoh and his fiance were supposed to get registered on the day he died, he had called his friends to confirm their attendance at his wedding come October... Does this sound like a man ready to take a swan dive off a building? and why was he held for 11 hours (5.30pm to 3.45a.m)? what the hell were they asking him? he was just a witness! did they even bother recording the interview???

yup, ladies and gents, welcome to Malaysia, truly Asia... what you see is NEVER what you get.

with this, i hereby launch mindlessbots.blogspot.com...... dedicated to all Malaysians who refuse to be mindless, who have a voice and just want a place where it will be heard.

be seein' ya in the next post.
