Happy Independent Day

Happy 50th Independent day Peninsular Malaysia, and happy 44th Independent day East Malaysia. Merdeka in the Malay language means Independent, it means free from colonization, but to be replace by another form of colonization. Independent can be translate as Freedom, it means everyone is treated equally without prejudice. Freedom…

Freedom is more than a word, there are perspective. Shouting ‘Merdeka’ without truly understanding it is meaningless, style without substance as the old saying goes.

Our Politicians realize that to be in power, they do not need guns, or money or even numbers, they just need the will to do what the opposition wouldn’t – play the racist card.

It is the basic principle of the universe where every reaction will create an un-opposing reaction, like an equation. The fabric of our society has be pulled into different direction, racial tension is far more worst than 50 years ago.

If there is something wrong, then those with the ability to change it has the responsibility to change it, we as the citizen of Malaysia should work together regardless of race and religion and sent a strong message to our current government that something is terribly wrong with our country. Register as a voter now and vote wisely this coming election.

Nak Tak? Why we should not vote for Barisan Nasional

And the winner is – New York architect Robert A.M. Stern, Robert A.M. Stern Architects is a 300-person firm of architects, landscape architects, interior designers, and supporting staff. The decision was made after Mr. Stern met with Mr. Bush last week at Mr. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. The location for the library has not yet been announce by the president, neither has the overall design and concept.

It appears that the people of Texas are pissed with the president for not choosing a Texas architect, WildBill drop a comment on chron.com and said;” Toilet paper is about the only thing that resembled a book that Bush came in contact with during his failed presidency.”

Just look at the amount of hate comments in any given blog or forum, President Bush will go down in history as the most hated american president in the world.

Stern also is dean of the Yale School of Architecture.

For those that are not familiar with the United States Presidential library system, according to Wikipedia:

In the United States, the Presidential library system is a nationwide network of libraries administered by the Office of Presidential Libraries, which is part of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). These are not libraries in the modern sense, but rather repositories for preserving and making available the papers, records, collections and other historical materials of every President of the United States since Herbert Hoover.
