don't question us

Sorry, suddenly I have the urge to say this.

Don’t question why the youngsters leave the country. Don’t question why the non-Malays support the Opposition. Don’t question the patriotism of the non-Malays. Don’t question why there are still so much crimes, accidents and poverty.

Question yourselves!

The answer lies in the government itself. Look at how you treat us. Look at how your policies and decisions which only benefit certain group. Look at how corrupted and incompetent you are. Look at how you labeled us the non-Malays. Look at how racist your people are when you unashamedly talk about 1 Malaysia.  

Let me tell you, before the change of a government, many young people will leave the country. Because I too, has lost hope.

Najib @ Penang

Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Dato Sri Najib Razak went to Penang yesterday, 2/4/2011, Saturday.

People macam rusa masuk kampung. satu olang mali, riuh satu Penang. what's so great of him coming to Penang? ayooo.. it's just a visit, show face, shake hands, smile, take pics, eat free food, giv out freebies, promise this and that n den c u bye bye. y so much media attention on him? aya.. no other news meh. sumor all the news provided by BERNAMA. all one-sided news. See now Bernama wrote wrongly, give their own interpretation. hmmm..

Give Najib some space la.. I know he's our Prime Minister and yes, i love him too but janganlah lebih-lebih. Ish. Sambutan untuk YAB macam sedang mendewa-dewakan beliau. Tak patut kot.. Tokoh patut disanjungi dan dihormati tapi tak payahlah disembah.

Let PM continues to do his job. Media pun jangan bias. Rakyat pula critisize based on policies and not feelings.

Thank you.

freedom of speech in Malaysia

Freedom of speech is entitled to everyone. It’s the basic liberty of humankind. It simply means you can say whatever you want but you must also know what can and cannot be said. You will have freedom of speech if you are the government or you side them. Just look at Raja Petra and Ahmad Ismail. If your speech is not in favor of government, then ISA will be your home. But if you are pro-Government and your speech is against other people, race n even religion which are not the majority of the country, then you are free to walk on the street. This is Malaysia mah!

so are you free in this country?

my first video

Jeng jeng jeng!!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my first ever video production!!

Wahahaha.

I’m feeling so excited because this is the first time I make a video using a software all by myself. I am not an IT person. I’m bad in technology. That’s why I used about 2 hours to make this video. The Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 is so different from what I used to see few years ago. I think it has been upgraded.

So what’s so great about this video? It’s great because my effort paid off. I feel so satisfied because I finished what I’ve started.

This video is not shot by video camera. It’s actually a photo slideshows and I made it into a video so that I can post it on Youtube.

105 photos are used to make this video. I shot these photos back in 31/12/2009. It was 5am in the morning and I stood in front of Masjid Kapitan Keling in Penang for 30 minutes, waiting for the moon to set.

And I was so lucky because the moon was at its fullest that night, which was also the 15^th of the Chinese Lunar Calendar.

Besides than photography, I actually enjoy videography too. I want to be in the video and I want to produce video or movie too. The problem is I don’t have the tools to make it happen. Video camera is too expensive. Plus, my camera can’t take video.

Today I’m the producer, director, cameraman, and also the editor of my video. Hahaha.

So let’s enjoy this short video clip of “Moonset on the Last Day of 2009”.

Everything will comes to an end.

get your facts right

All these while, I have been keeping quiet, not saying anything although I have been framed, criticized, downgraded, humiliated, and accused by someone.

But now before I sleep, I have something to say.

I would like to remind everyone to get your facts right before you say anything because it can become a sedition or defamation. I, OH CHIN ENG, NEVER EVER USE MY PTPTN LOAN TO BUY ANY CAMERA OR DSLR. I bought my DSLR back in 2007 using the money I earn working part time in few places. It’s ridiculous to say that I use PTPTN loan to purchase my DSLR. For your information as well, as a student representative I have never given a cent and I have never taken a cent from the university. You can check it with the university for clarification. If I am self-centered I won’t devote my time, energy, money and reputation to stand up for the students.

I don’t mind and I am so open to criticisms but please debate on facts and not by attacking people’s personal life. Don’t act as if you know me so well.

I am offended by these derogatory remarks. I hate being accused and its hurt. Mind your language. Yes, I feel behsyiok now.

But good news is, you, yes YOU, if you still know who you are after saying I use my PTPTN loan to buy a DSLR, you can continue with your baseless and irresponsible allegations. I’m not gona care anymore. Or let me suggest you this, if you don’t like what people say or write, just go off, don’t listen and don’t read. Don’t torture yourself la.

Thank you and good night.

*Kes ditangguh buat semementara waktu sehingga satu tarikh yang akan diumumkan kelak. =p

an IMPORTANT reminder

This is to remind all the UNIVERSITI TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN Kampar campus students to please pay your student bill by this Friday (11.2.2011). The deadline also applies to those qualified students who didn’t get their PTPTN loan yet.  I already went to the relevant department to inform them about the late imbursement of PTPTN loan. But the officer said the deadline won’t be extended and we must pay the penalty. I repeat, UTAR IS NOT EXTENDING THE DEADLINE! If you are late, you’ll be charged penalty RM10 per week. Good news is you can write a letter to the Division of Examinations to get back your penalty. Good luck!

Late PTPTN, not so good CNY

First of all, I hope the beloved Prime Minister who has been graciously sending us Chinese New Year’s greeting through SMS and e-mail will seriously look into this matter.

I am third year Journalism student from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), Kampar campus. The reason I write this letter is to express my distraught, sadness, and disappointment over the late loan by the government.

I am one of the recipients of the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN). Usually most of us in UTAR will get the loan a month after the new semester begins. Our semester began on 17^th January but until today, I haven’t got any cent from PTPTN. Same goes to other students from other courses.

This late payment of PTPTN loan seriously cost a lot of troubles to students from lower income families like me. It’s even more troublesome especially during this Chinese New Year festive season. I was not able to prepare much for Chinese New Year. I was left with no choice but to only bought a new pair of clothes and not even able to buy new undergarments.

Another major problem I’m facing now is the student bill is already out. I have to pay about RM6000 by this Friday, 11^th January. Failing to do so, I will be fined RM10 per week for late payment. How am I going to pay the bill if I’m penniless? To rub salt to the wound, I still owe months of hostel rentals. New semester means I have to buy new books too.

This Chinese New Year is definitely not a memorable as well when the southern states in Malaysia were having massive flood. The higher learning institution students in these states are in a very hard situation when their houses are ruined and for sure, they need a lot more money to repair their houses, get new furniture, buy new books and to start new living.

Since the Chinese New Year came earlier, PTPTN should be given earlier to avoid problems to the students. Why this problem occurred? Why the relevant authorities never take this into consideration? Is it the problem of public administration’s incompetency or the technical problem? Without PTPTN, how can we survive? I do not wish to eat bread and instant noodle everyday.

I plead to the PTPTN and Ministry of Higher Education to listen and act on my difficulty as soon as possible. Thank you and salam 1 Malaysia.

From Oh Chin Eng, a citizen who’s eligible to vote in the coming General Election.

Facebook illness

People really got caught up in the cyber world and become alien in the real world. In FB, they can chat like as if they know each other for years although they actually don’t know each other. But in real world, they are wordless when they see each other. It's scary when human lost their human characters in the real world. This social illness and social disorder will only breakdown human relationships and tear us apart. As long as Facebook is still around, people will till then glued in front of their laptop, releasing their Facebook addiction.
