No respect for Orang Kurang Upaya - OKU

I was appalled to notice over the weekend that the only two handicap parking spots in my local suburban mall was taken up by two luxury imported cars. One was taken up by a very sporty looking Mercedes Benz and the other by a BMW.

Upon closer inspection, neither of these cars had OKU stickers placed on them. I doubt very much that the drivers of these cars were in fact OKUs.

What surpises me is the cheek they had to park in this secured shaded location just outside the entrance of the mall, which was meant for OKUs. Just because you drive a fancy car, this does not mean that you have the right to disregard the rights and privileges of the OKU. The OKU car parks are meant to lighten the load of the OKUs. They are not meant for the rich Tan Sris and Datuks, who seem to think that they are above everyone else simply because of the type of car which they drive.

I was very tempted to take a picture of both cars and publish them on my blog. Maybe next time fellas, you will not be so lucky. Barisan Lurus is on the prowl.

This blogger is on a mission to criticise, mitigate, rectify, alleviate any wrongdoings which are not being adequately addressed by all and sundry. We will start on the smaller issues but deserving ones nevertheless. Everyone ought to be heard and we will canvass the needs of each, from time to time.

RPK - What credibility?


I have a big issue with RPK. He writes from the gut and that sometimes destroys credibility. This approach removes all elements of objectivity. I do not enjoy the language used at all in his website nor do I enjoy the one-sided stance adopted.

RPK epitomises the saying "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Given his stature and influence over the net citizens, he appears to now thinks that he has a certain all encompassing power over fellow net citizens. He does not appear to care who reads his articles nor does he care what he writes about. He feels that he is now above the arms of the law. He can do no wrong, so he thinks.

RPK writes about religion as though he is messiah brought to earth to set mankind on his righteous path. He uses profanity and discredits those who have knowledge on the subject matter well beyond his own. Remember RPK, God is all Almighty.

He posts blogs and affirms Statutory Declarations without careful consideration of the accuracy of its contents. His single agenda, which is to bring an end to the current Government and to replace it with the leadership of Anwar Ibrahim, must be viewed with circumspect. He says that his actions are for the Rakyat. But his intentions are clear. Anwar for PM at all costs!

His desparate attempts shock me. This is what happens when power gets into one's head.

To fellow net citizens, I used to enjoy reading RPK's site. Now, it really puts me off. Hence, the need for an alternative to the alternative.

This is my first posting but you can expect more to come.
