The Month Of August

This few days, I was busy completing a Chinese RPG Game. So basically I was just sitting in front of com whole day. lol. Will blog about it later.

These few days, there are few incidents which will made August a happening month.

1. Olympics!
Yesterday was the start of this sports carnival. I managed to catch a glimpse of the opening ceremony thru the Astro provided in 'Rock Cafe', but not patient enough to wait until Malaysia to come out. Checked the scoreboard just now and China is leading with 2 golds. Well, I have strong belief that China could emerge as champion due to host advantage. Besides, if this sports carnival come out to be a successful one, it surely will raise China's reputation. Western forces will not be the only 1 influence the world. US and gangs will have to come up with more ideas to put a curb on it. China's stock market maybe their next target.

2. Resign of Wan Azizah as MP of Permatang Pauh!
Everyone know Anwar needs to enter the parliment to carry out his 'Sept 16' plan. So, Wan Azizah resigned to give way to her husband for the “New Dawn for Malaysia”. Permatang Pauh has been a fortress for Anwar since 1980s. Well, I admire Azizah's courage and her bravery because no matter how you see it, it is still a gamble for letting go a post which is already in hand for re-election, eventhough this is a low risk gamble. Indeed, it needs much courage and confidence. Because nobody can be sure what will happen next. Nevertheless, I believe all Malaysian will remember her as the first female leader of the opposition party in parliment. Wan Azizah, a politician arised after 'Reformasi', her perserverance will always stay in our heart.

3. Anwar was charged!
To charge, or not to charge, that is the question. Well, the question was solved now, after much hoo-haa, real and fake medical report, and disappearing act, as usual. And they managed to solve on time, which is way before the nomination and re-election. But the way they solved the question is a bit, err... funny I would say. Surprisingly, Anwar was charged under 377B, and not 377C which being claimed previously. And this wave of attack gives a big headache to the lawyer on Anwar's side. Hahaha. What does it mean? From my level of knowlegde, I only know that it means Anwar and his partner both like 'sotongmee', and they eat 'sotongmee' together, willingly. Yeah, I mean willingly. Funny right? It's like you kena sued for 'visiting' your friends in Chow Kit or Geylang. So, beware!!!! You dunno when your 'friend' will suddenly sue you!

4. Forum on conversion to Islam
"I maybe disagree with what you said, but I respect your right to speak up."
I forget who mention this phrase before, but this is definitely not true in malaysia. About 200 protesters demonstrating against the Bar Council's forum on "Conversion to Islam" on Saturday morning in Kuala Lumpur. This created another big hoo-haa with some petrol bomb. Surprisingly, our 'brave' and 'dedicated' police are not capable to withstand these protesters or chase them away as what they usually did previously, eg in Cheras. As a result, the forum was ended early at 10 a.m.
I seriously dunno what they are angry of, or should I say, what are they afraid of? In the end, it is just a forum. I don't believe any religion is that weak until it will be threatened by a small forum, which comprised of representatives from different religion (including Islam) of different views. And the thing is those protesters don't even really know what is going to be discussed in the forum! Where are the mutual understand and communication much needed by a multi-racial country? Or they think the only way to communicate is through brutal force?

August, an interesting month!
