伊斯兰教禁食猪肉的前因后果

请看这篇由黄洁媚所写之文章,解释得相当清楚。

老马又开炮

http://test.chedet.com/che_det/2008/09/malay-unity-and-malaysian-unit.html

老马又要挑起事端了,这次要利用部分史实来强化他种族主义的论点。

嫌国内政局还不够乱吗?股市已跌接近1000点了。

说华人和印度人不愿接受同化,简直是在放屁!我想多数大马华人印度人都很乐意学习马来语。很明显的,我们的阻碍来自两点:

1)同化包括:被强逼皈依伊斯兰教、奉行马来人文化和舍弃华人姓名。

2)经济上:政府又处处以保护马来人利益为借口来限制别族的赚钱或升学机会。

这两点,都是问题的根源!都是造成大马人民不能团结的祸首!

还有,挑起事端地人总是那些印裔穆斯林(在大马我们称他们为嘛嘛),他们就是那些很会经商的一群。当年他们看到自己的商业利益逐步被华人侵蚀所以才认自己为马来人并强调需打击其他的种族。

这是有根据的!因为佩特拉亦有撰文透露这点。大家去找找看。

unknown histories about Singapore

Watched a documentary that talks about some unknown history Singapore.

When Singapore was expelled from Malaysia, Lee Kuan Yew was crying after hearing the news from radio. He was sad because he did not have a clear direction for his 'child', which is Singapore to go for. Nobody looked good on Singapore at that time as it was only a third world country port without any natural resources. Back then, it was really a tough job for Lee Kuan Yew.

At that time there were 3 isolated countries in the world: Israel, Republic of China(Taiwan) & South Africa. Therefore Lee Kuan Yew seeked for help from the RoC as he was a strong anti-communist politician. His relationship with the then President of RoC 'Jiang Jing Guo' was close. The good relationship started even before Jiang Jing Guo took over the president seat. Lee Kuan Yew visited RoC very frequently then. The rate was about once or more than once per year. Each time Jiang Jing Guo treated him as special guest.

Lee Kuan Yew's visit to Taiwan was not of no intention. Political system wise he adopted a lot of RoC's ideas as RoC is one of the Repulic in Asia then. RoC even helped build Singapore military system by sending a few good officers who later became important military officers in Singapore. Of course the help was not without any reward. Singapore helped RoC to purchase weapons and did a number of kind of sensitive things. It also became the 'international representative' of RoC as RoC's diplomacy was defeated badly by People's Republic of China then. RoC would always get Singapore's help to transmit messages to the worldwide.

Singapore's idea of welcoming talented people from worldwide are actually originated from RoC as well. In year 1985 Singapore was facing serious economic growth problem. The world's economic turned bad, the atmosphere was very much like the one right now. Singapore's economic growth percentage of that year was 0%! It was a big blow to Lee Kuan Yew. While his good friend the RoC managed to achieve a 6%! Lee Kuan Yew asked Jiang Jing Guo why his country was able to do that. jiang jing Guo said it's due to the policy of encouraging talented people to come to Taiwan and also due to the government's policy of encouraging creative and innovation in technology. Lee Kuan Yew was impressed and he quickly went to RoC for a toru of obversation. He spent a few days in the technology park! His earnest attitude impressed a lot of RoC officers. He brought back all the ideas to Singapore and immediately applied them and nowadays it is even doing much better than the RoC now.

I never expect Lee Kuan Yew believe in Feng Shui. The story is: Back into year 1997, the economic downturn came like a strong wind and defeated a lot of countries in Asia. Singapore was hit as well. Then the Feng Shui consultant of Singapore suggested that each Singaporean had to carry a 'Ba Gua' (Chinese ancient 'Eight Trigram'). The problem was: how to get every Singapore to carry that kind of awkward thing? Hence the government came out with an idea, which is to put the 'Ba Gua' in the 1 dollar coin! If you notice, the 'Ba Gua' was actually put into all 1 dollar coins that were published after year 1997!

Lee Kuan Yew strongly believes that dictatorship would help growing a country by ensuring a stable political environment. He objected jiang Jing Guo's idea of allowing 'democracy' to his country. However Jiang Jing Guo did not listen to him and now RoC's democracy was quite a role of model for the Asia countries.

Well, i am glad to be able to know this history.

Happy mid-autumn festival 中秋节快乐!

The mid-autumn festival is one of the 4 major festivals of the Chinese. You may refer to the complete description of this festival here

The other 3 important festivals are the Chinese New Year(Spring Festival), the Qing Ming Festival (means Clear & Bright) and the Duan Wu Festival.

Luckily this year it falls on Sunday. Therefore i managed to reunite with my family members on this day. Reunion on the full moon day means everything to Chinese family.

It is quite unfortunate that it was raining in the night so i could not see the beautiful moonlight. Anyway i had seen it the day before. The scene was weird. Clouds were gathering around the full moon and the moonlight penetrated through the thick clouds. You could see rainbow ring surrounding the full moon. Fascinating!

Happy mid-autumn festival to you guys out there! Hope you guys will complete your whatever things out there as full moon means complete!

New Employee Orientation

Well, i joined IBM Malaysia eventually. The first few weeks were just quite bored. I am not given any assignment. Today i attended the New Employee Orientation. I learned something here!

I realized the power of 'innovation'!

We were put in different groups. The trainer was asking us to play a game. Each of the group member has to touch 4 balls in sequence. He demonstrated the normal way we did it and asked us to improve the process.

The game was so interesting. Initially we achieved a 5 seconds record. He was not satisfied and in the end we managed to finish the task within 1 second!

That's the power of 'innovation' , 'think'

Wow....

中华文化对世界文明的贡献

奥运是希腊文明送给世界的一份礼物。

中华文明呢?除了四大发明外?有别的吗?

这值得探讨。

要超越美国成为另一个超级大国的话,软实力一定要强!英语的通行就是昔日英国及今日美国成功的软实力政策的一例!如果华语(普通话)能做到这点那么中国才算是有希望挑战美国的地位!日本曾经差点做到了!所以这应该不是梦!

而且中国需要鼓励国内的创新风气。如果在文化及科技上能创新,就必能强化对世界的影响力!就像日本的动漫一样!中国需要的就是这些东西!

我想,这梦想可能还需要一、两代人来努力实现!加油吧!

The way Islamic countries treat women

Women in Islamic countries are suffering from a lot of restrictions which are so against the humanity. Women in these countries have to cover from their head till leg! This kills the woman's right of choosing costume freely. Some countries that practices the Islamic fundamentalism even do not allow women to get involved in social activities. For example women are prohibited from working!! Women who participate in sports have to make sure that they do not expose any parts of their body besides head! Imagine if a Muslim lady takes part in swimming or gymnastic or beach volleyball! Certainly she will be forced to dress up a lot or she is even not allowed to take part in the game anymore.

Ironically, the men from these countries are curious about woman's body. They enjoy sex. They enjoy prostitution. Men from Islamic countries enjoy typing 'SEX' in Google!(According to a survey done in year 2007 or 2006 i can't remember exactly) Yet they want their women to cover up their body so that these men will not commit any sex crimes against these women. Ain't it funny! Think carefully, the problem actually falls back to men. It is up to the men themselves to control their behaviors rather than to ask women to do something that help reduce the lust of the men! If we are decent, if we do not have obscene thinking in our mind, it does not bother us if a nude lady is standing right in front of us. Is it really unfair to ask the ladies to cover up their hairs so that to protect themselves from being attacked by men. That is ridiculous! Why blame the lady instead of man???

All the ridiculous things that these Islamic countries do are certainly losing respect from the non-Muslim. They will think that Islam is an extreme and a barbarous religion. If Islam wants to earn more believers, Muslims should promote Islam reputation by doing good deeds such as giving respects to women, to drop the old time punishments such as 'throw stone till death' and so on. Please let the non-Muslims know what are the good teachings in Islam. That will help convince the non-Muslims to turn themselves into Muslims.

So far i think Turkey has done a good job of trying to maintain its nation status as a secular country! I think all the other Islamic countries should learn from Turkey anyway.

炁学

最近上了3天的“无4水-气学”。真正的读音是“气”学,但其“气”非此“气”。

那个字非常罕见,请原谅我拼了老半天也拼不出来!

很神奇,短短数个小时内就能掌握了它的道理!

它能救人救己,非常实用!类似气功,相对的又简单许多!动作又简单易学易记!所以连马来西亚备受尊敬的华教元老高龄90余岁的沈慕羽先生都学习中。

当然,如要用此道救人,前提是,此学创始人---蔡宝珠老师需先为您打开穴道!开穴道需分3次来进行。

第一次开穴道时,我需要坐下,放松身体、深呼吸、闭目。然后老师用手掌按着我的头顶百汇穴,历时大概10分钟左右,就这样而已。

第二次要开的穴道是在双掌的掌心正中,学员们围了一个大圆圈,大家放松心情、闭目深呼吸,之后由站在圆圈中央老师带头,个个手牵手,等着老师从掌心发出能量从一个穿到另一个的掌心中!

至于第三次开穴道的过程与第一次相似,只是这次老师就掌按背部正中不知什么穴位。

这3次,还真感觉到穴道处的热能呢!

开了穴道后,老师就教我们辨识身上的9大穴道!为了使学员们易记,老师用号码来标示每个穴道!老师也说了每个穴道说主掌的身体部位。这些非常重要,因为欲治疗某某病就必须知道需要把能量输送到哪一个穴道!

输送能量的方法实在太容易了!只需什么什么号码配上什么什么号码的!(掌按某某穴道及某某穴道)。想不到这竟能救人!甚至生命垂危的癌症病人!

例如,如果头疼,就掌按1号(百汇穴)配上2号(额头正中的穴位),历时大概十分钟,必能痊愈!当然此为小病的治疗方法!它亦能在紧急时刻派上用场!有助延迟危机的发生!例如心脏病发作时,如用上此法,必能缓解病人情况,至少能拖到医生的到来!

不仅如此,甚至还有一些特定的简单方法能治疗长期病痛,如“抓、顺”等等特定动作。

老师为了让学员们更好的掌握此学,所以叫学员们互相为对方输送能量!个个都乐此不疲!

老师也用上了“秘密”的道理,即“吸引力法则”!老师说,我们身体发射出去什么样的能量,宇宙间就会反射对等的能量回来我们身上!这是“吸引力法则”所说的啊!想不到老师把它应用在此学中!

此学听起来虽然不可思议,但是学员众多,而个个又乐于分享他们学了此学的经历!又不得不信了!

老师功德无量啊!

我期待有一天我也能派上用场救人!建立功德!在此之前,先尝试医好我的一些慢性病。

有趣的或然率

和朋友谈到了或然率。

朋友提出了一个他在某某英语电视剧所看到的题目。

桌面上有盖着的3张牌。2张是A,1张是B。

1)你必须选其中一张。
2)选了之后,对方会打开其中一张B。现在桌面上只剩下2张仍盖着的牌,其中一张是你之前选的。

所以,现在你选中B的或然率是多少呢?

答案是,1/3!

我相信大部分的人会说答案是1/2。因为只剩下2张未揭底的牌啊!

但是,在对方未揭开其中一张B之前,你已经选了手头上的牌,不是吗?

想想看。

如果要更清楚两种答案的分别,你不妨试这样想:

比方说,对方让您重复选50次。

这样一来,你就可以看到分别了!你有50次的机会,如果或然率是1/3,选中A的机会会小得多了不是吗?换着是1/2,几率相对的就大得多了。

呵呵,很有趣吧。

华侨旗帜、民族光辉 - 陈嘉庚先生

最近在紧追着陈嘉庚的传记,成了我每日必读文章之一。每天已买了报纸就迫不及待的掀开连载“陈嘉庚传记”文章的版面细读一番。

我一直都很向往陈嘉庚这位清末民初南洋大企业家的事迹。他的故事内有好多的重量级配角,都是大家耳熟能详的民初人物如孙中山、汪精卫等等!由此可见陈老先生的故事想必多姿多彩,情节丰富。也足以证明当时他的地位非凡,能轻易与这些历史大人物们打交道。

在未读陈嘉庚传记之前,我已从许许多多的文献报刊中得知他事迹的一二。如果所载史实可靠,那我觉得陈老先生应为当代中国的风云人物之一。他可以为了振兴家乡教育而倾家荡产,建立了小学、中学、甚至大学(厦门大学)!他劳心劳力四处奔波招徕当时中国最好的师资以栽培中华子弟!单是这份贡献精神就已值得让身为炎黄子孙的我们学习!

不仅如此,他另我另眼相看的是,在那个年代,他竟拥有前瞻性的思维。他不计较民族的历史仇恨,聘请能辅助他的外籍人士为他工作,当中甚至有日本人及英国人!此为陈老先生公私分明一例!此事也证明陈老先生为人实际,不感情用事。他能清楚每个人立场皆异,所以并没盲目的把外籍人士都归类为都是对中国人不友善的一群。这在在应了他的天秤座个性。

最难能可贵的还是, 陈老先生在生意上历经波浪还是屹立不倒!他历经了数个生意危机,包括令人闻之色变、影响重大的1920年代经济大萧条!无论如何,后来他都能咬紧牙关,一一奋战到底。终于他的坚持有所回报,可谓皇天不负苦心人。要从挫折中重新爬起,说易行难,所以如能亲得陈老先生的教诲,终身必受用不尽!

我觉得,一个人物,应当有如陈老先生,所作所为都是为了子子孙孙,都是为了大众。他对亲人苟刻,对大众却慷慨!我们未必要认同他说做的每一个东西,但无可否认的是,他的精神确有很多可取之处!他可谓已做到了流芳百世。他的名字、灵魂、精神至今仍深深的依附在他的“大众遗产”内!厦门大学,集美学村,南洋商报及等等!这些遗产,让人们世世代代都惦记着他!

此乃真风云人物也!




假作真时真亦假,无为有时有还无

原来此名句乃出自中国四大古典小说之一的“红楼梦”。

如今得知,感慨万分。

Job is not our life!

Came across an article talking about there are more and more people not to prioritize job in their life. I like this excerpt:

In other words, I know firsthand how futile utter devotion to a job can be in the long run. I still want to do well in my job. I still want to be on the cutting edge of things. But I don’t want to work 16 hours a day to maintain that edge. It’s just not worth it. Or maybe it’s kind of worth it, but it wouldn’t win out in a head-to-head competition with my kid, my husband, my elderly father, and the rest of the hoodlums that make up my extended family.
It explains what i want to explain all this while.

英语系国家

发现世界上有好多的英语系国家!

屈指数来就有英国、美国、澳洲、纽西兰(新西兰)等等!这些国家的主要居民还是严格路、萨克逊人的后代!

美国是当今世上独一无二的霸主!

英国国力相对于上数个世纪已减弱许多,但其如今亦非吴下阿蒙,尤其是经济上还是搞得很不错的!

澳洲,个人看好是未来之星! 它将继美国之后崛起!

新西兰,则有如一片净土,简直是退休人士的天堂!

这些英语系国家都还有蛮大的影响力,难怪英语如今仍然风行全世界!屹立不倒!

华语系国家怎可相比?而且,华语系国家只有一国啊!(新加坡并不算)!

想想,还真悲观!

相信华人需要让各民族欣赏方能传播万里,为其他民族所吸收采用!就像当年盛唐时期,日本和韩国介派人学习唐朝的种种优越文化般!

这个世纪对中国来说是一个千古难逢的机会,中国如能把握此良机再次崛起,必能再造另一个唐朝盛世!

下一个强国?

美国国力将会在今次的次贷风暴中元气大伤,在今次金融风暴中幸免的国家将趁此时崛起。

继美国之后,哪一国将会是下一个称霸全球的强国呢?

会是来自亚洲吗?中国?印度?

还是欧洲各国会复兴?

抑或是南美洲强国巴西?

我个人是蛮看好澳洲的!地理位置优越,经济已连续成长多年,土地方圆辽阔,含有丰富的天然资源,最重要的是人口少啊!

我蛮欣赏澳洲政府所奉行的移民政策,这数年来有好多的欧亚移民前往澳洲了,而他们都是在某某领域的佼佼者。如果澳洲政府能够坚守这一政策,相信不出数年澳洲必能强大起来。

它的地理位置还真比美国优越啊!想当初美国能避开两次世界大战的直接影响的确是拜他们的地理位置所赐,而澳洲在这方面是更受到优待了!任何一国欲入侵澳洲必耗费相当大的资源!真非易事!它自身已是一个大岛!而非如美国般还有加拿大及墨西哥这些邻居。

Our ex prime minister encouraged genocide?

This fella. I am speechless. Look at what he has written on his blog.

http://www.chedet.com

Hey old man, you yourself are not the indigenous too! Your blood is not pure anyway. All of our PMs do not have pure Malay blood!! This is the fact!

Think about it! Without all the so called foreigners, do you sincerely think Malaysia can be the Malaysia today? I believe it will be another Cambodia or Laos...or even Myammar.

I can not deny that may be a large number of the first generation Chinese or Indian in Malaya did not think that Malaya is their home country! Well this can be explained because they were not born in Malaya. They were encouraged by the British to come over to this land. They just wanted to get rich and then returned to their homeland!

By the way, who do you think had robbed most of the resources in Malaya all this time? It is The British, the Netherlands, and Portugal! They were the real conquerors. Come on old man, please fire them instead of those innocent ones like Chinese and Indian, they did not get rich by robbing or killing the indigenous! Instead, the non indigenous had won numerous awards in sports events for Malaysia! How could you deny their contribution! Look at badminton, which race takes the majority since decades ago? Also, the non indigenous take the main role in a lot of woman sports as the indigenous are strongly restricted by the "law of religion" in terms of dress code! So, tell me, did the non indigenous contribute to Malaysia?

Also, please ask yourself, would the British allow Malaysia to be independent without the fight from the Chinese and Indian community? Do not forget that our independence were resulted from the cooperation of 3 major races in Malaya which were the Malay, the Chinese and the Indian!

Your words in your blog definitely would not help improve the current political climate in Malaysia! Please do not start your racist statement again! If you want to get rid of all the Chinese Malaysians and Indian Malaysians, please bear the consequences because you will certainly not be benefited from that! The people will hate you so much!! It will be a big blow to the nation's economy. Malaysia will step backward for 50 years!!!

So, please keep your mouth shut, old man!

This is 21st century

Had a chat with friend. Were talking about investment. I complaint that buying a house basically means being put in prison for whole life because you owe to bank for 20-30 years!!! You are going to lose your freedom. Anyway, why should we think of getting a house as an investment? Yes it may have been the best way for the previous generation for investment but it may not seem to be as important as it was now! Nowadays we have plenty of ways to invest our money. For e.g. trust fund. In old time people did not buy trust fund! Well I am talking about people in Malaysia. Nowadays there are plenty of trust funds for us to choose. One advantage of buying trust fund is you are always guaranteed the liquidity! You will not enjoy the same level of liquidity if you are buying a house as you need time to get someone who is willing to offer the price that you are expecting to buy your house. Else it is going to be a burden to you because every month you have to allocate certain percentage of your income to bank!

我家鄉名字的來源細說

真惭愧,在网上读到了这篇介绍文,方知家乡名字的来龙去脉。在此贴上:

“柔佛”二字,译自阿拉伯文“Jauhar”,意即“宝石”,在英文则是“珠宝”,早期被喻为“大地的尽头”,后来才定名为“柔佛”(Johor),与英文的珠宝“Jewel”谐音。柔佛州人口多达256万,共有8个县:新山、笨珍、峇都巴辖、麻坡、昔加末、居銮、丰盛港及哥打丁宜,其中新山是柔佛州的首都。柔佛是马来西亚9个由苏丹统治的州属之一,掌管州内事务者为州务大臣。虽然新山是我国主要先进都市之一,但柔佛州超过30%的土地仍是纯大自然地区,上千种植物、动物和昆虫是吸引外国的卖点之一,4个国家公园、7个休闲森林以及越来越长的受保护海岸线,3面环海的柔佛州,因此不论是喜欢上山或下海的游客,都能尽兴。

“昔加末”(Segamat)的名字源自马来文“segar”和“amat”,意即“非常新鲜”或“非常清爽”,若要追溯其典故和源头,则要从16世纪柔佛苏丹时期说起。有民间传说指“昔加末”之名乃当时的统治者苏丹阿末,亦即第一任苏丹所取。1511年,苏丹阿末与随从在一河边休息时,极度干渴的苏丹命令随从从清澈见底的河中取水饮用后,即刻感到神清气爽,舒解了长途跋涉导致的全身酸痛,于是说了一句:“Segar amat(非常清爽)!”一旁的宰相敦德博也有同感,因此就将该地区命名为“Segamat”。隶属森美兰州管辖的昔加末受英国殖民地政府统治,一直道1901年才成为柔佛州管辖地区,并成为8大县之一,也是州内主要的农业原产品区,面积达2千851.26平方公里,人口共17万8千620,是个历史悠久的小镇,古迹保留得相当完整。

这个位于柔佛州北部的小镇处处是园丘,橡胶园、油棕园及果园几乎成为当地的经济命脉,其中以果王榴连为最,单是榴连园面积就达1万1千公顷,不但盛产,而且所种植出来的榴连,品种和素质皆属上等,镇上还有一个名为“榴连广场”的地方!昔加末出产的其他水果包括龙眼、柚子、冷刹及红毛丹等,若在年中或年终的果季到访昔加末,口福不浅!爆米花论坛昔加末只是一个很小很小的小镇,但却不失为一个值得一游的地方。这个只有一条大街的小镇五脏俱全,购物中心、旅店、高尔夫球度假村、农业旅游及手工艺品中心一样都不少!

昔加末县分为南北两地,小小昔加末是县内最主要的城市,也是主要的经济集中的地,县内人口虽以马来民族居多,但主要的经济地却以华人为主,较著名和特别的旅游景点包括拉美士的天然温泉、双溪大港的断桥、苏丹的度假别墅、榴连广场、农业旅游景点和原住民居住的双溪班当(Sungai Bantang)休闲森林。

火车站
位于车站路的昔加末火车站,是当地历史悠久的古迹之一,也可说是昔加末之旅的起点。火车站对面便是巴士站。在几年前的一场火灾后,火车站也进行了几次的装修。在新巴士站还没落成前,巴士站是与火车站毗邻的建筑,知道新地落成,也就有我们今天的巴士站了。虽然距离变远了,但是设施比以往都好很多。

榴槤
昔加末市区也紧随发展列车的轨道,尤以巫罗加什路最明显,其中一个最重要及最特别的旅游景点,大概要数榴槤广场,一个果王和各种水果的贸易中心,一直是热带水果迷的必到之处,在水果季节,这里的游客和人潮更为壮观。事实上,昔加末的榴槤身价是被当地人的宣传方式越抬越高,人人慕名而来,证实昔加末榴槤是否真的“榴”名八方!

美食
小镇小食别有一番独特风味,阿芝路小贩中心的辣椒烧鱼、对望昔加末河的哈山路的肉骨茶以及昔加末峇鲁花园的印度传统小食“纸煎饼”(paper tosai),都是不可错过的美食

断桥
断桥,一个听起来让人感觉沧海桑田、痕迹斑驳、几许惆怅、淡淡哀愁滋味在心头的词。这座位于巫罗加什的断桥,一直静静地守着这个淳朴小镇,长年的沉默,挥之不去的荒凉,像是无声的控诉,控诉战争的无情、残酷与惨痛,徒留悲痛在人间!伫立在河的另一端静看断桥,心头总会不自禁地涌起难言的情绪。其实,昔加末共有2座断桥,另一座断桥坐落于距离昔加末市区约28公里的双溪大港,亦即柔佛边界,“吊”在河上的断桥,看似未完的工程。

温泉
距离拉美士约10公里处,有一个天然温泉,经过人工美化后,就成为著名的旅游景点,也是附近居民和游客的休闲松懈身心之地,既享受泡澡的悠闲,又具疗效功能,绝对是个值得一游的地方!

休闲
森林距离彼咯(Bekok)市区8公里处的双溪班登休闲森林,是除金山之外另一个备受游客喜爱的瀑布区,参天古木,奇石怪岩,不论是为享受大自然的呵护或全家出游野餐共享天伦乐,一样尽兴。距离昔加末南部约4公里的飞行俱乐部,为考取私人机师执照者提供飞行训练,想尝试飞行的滋味或对飞行情有独钟者,不妨尝试一下操作小型飞机的体验!

购物中心 Billion、Derang Emas、顶好及拉美士购物中心

酒店/旅馆 彩虹酒店(Hotel Sri Pelangi)、昔加末度假酒店(Villa Hotel Segamat)、和平旅馆(Hotel Harmony)、文化旅馆(Mandarin Hotel)、The Pine Classic Inn

高尔夫球度假村
巴也朗高尔夫球俱乐部(Paya Lang Golf Club)及昔加末高尔夫球俱乐部(Segamat Country Club)警察局、消防局、医院、移民厅、邮政局、关税局、马电讯、公共交通站

到頭來還是要人民幣升值!

八国集团近日发出联合声明,呼吁中国尽快让人民币升值,以暖和最近的石油与粮食危机。

说来说去,最近一年美国的所作所为还不是为了让人民币升值!

自数年前起,欧美各国就对中国年年的贸易顺差极度不满!他们抗议连连并采取各种手段如限制中国产品入口等等来逼中国让人民币升值。但是各种手段皆不成功,吃下场场败仗。

不知是恰巧或是已计划好,去年下半年美国“突然”爆发次贷危机,美联储局拼命调低利率,美元从此大幅贬值,加以引爆石油与粮食危机。再来是更棘手的通胀!

那些存有大量美元的国家这下的打击可大了!想想,手上的美元资产的价值竟然于短短数月内大量蒸发!而中国就是其中一国!不仅如此,接下来的日子还需付出更过来购买或补贴石油,中国人民日子必苦!

欧美各国上演了好一出戏!

竟然拿了亚洲各国包括马来西亚等来陪葬!

系統與制度

去了书局,看了一本专门探讨中国皇帝制度的兴衰原因的书籍。书中解释了因和皇帝制度能崛起于神州大地,也为何在两千年后落得没落的下场,被孙中山先生领导的同盟会一举推翻,殆于辛亥革命。

从书中,我有了一些想法,即是原来数千年来我们始终是在寻找着一个能让社会各阶层都满意的完美制度。

社会上有好多的制度,国家要制度,社会要制度,公司要制度,学校要制度,还有好多好多。可见制度于人类而言是非常重要的。

可惜,世界上没有一样东西是完美的。由于人性复杂,因此各制度的实行都会出现适合一些人却又不适合另一些人的问题,总而言之就是不能一并满足全部人。就比如政治制度,如果不能与时并进,社会往往会打乱,国家历经大动荡并在牺牲了无数人民的生命后带来改变,此乃一种制度本身所做出的调整,以不出更大的乱子。

相信,就如中华民族第一经典“易经”所带来的讯息,“易”毕竟才是延续之道!易,即为“改变”。领导人们度需不时根据社会当时的经济、人心动态、天时等等来改变或调整整个制度,唯有如此才能避免民初之军阀割据历史的重演!

仔细想想,在世界上这么多种的政治制度中,现在看起来比较可行的还是美利坚合众国的共和制度。这个制度已延续了两三百年,可说是美国能于近代崛起的要点之一。他的最大的好处是,即使国家领导人意外下台或逝世,皆无损国家各种政策的施行。这道理和一间上了轨道的公司一样,当公司上了轨道,就意味着公司已有一个良好的系统分化了掌权人的权利。那么当某某重要人物缺席数日是公司亦不会出乱子,因为员工只需要根据既定的制度来执行政策。

如果一个国家是由独裁者统治的话,万一独裁者不在其位了,国家因长期习惯于听一人发号施令,此时必令各官员们不知所措,最糟的是阴谋家此时起兵于四方,国家必定打乱。

还有一种值得讨论的新加坡式政治制度以非常成功,虽然该国掌权者假民主之名而行一党独裁之实,但该国胜在掌权者一心一意要搞好国家,所以在一言堂之下,执行政策方面少了许多反对的声音,结果该国国力节节上升,不出数十年就被列为亚洲数一数二的先进国。如今的中国掌权者似乎在采取类似新加坡的方式,好在这班领导人都真心真意为民付出,因此中国还不会败在该一党专政制度下。至于共产主义,还真的存在吗?如果简单的想,共产主义与资本主义一向来是各站对立面的,现在中国全国疯狂推行资本主义,看来共产主义还只是个牌子,其基本精神已荡然无存。

Finally, i quit 终于辞职了

16th July 2008 will be my last day in XXX.

This time is real. I have spent my 4 years here. Now, it is time to go.

Being the first company in my life, i will not forget the memories with it.

Memory in Kulai, Melaka, Singapore...

In fact, since XXX left, i have already lost my mood to work. I became more quiet. I am not interested in having frequent interaction with new colleagues anymore.

It was back in year 2006. Basically, after that, i think i had wasted my time, until today.

I tried to look for the answer by having an 'escape' to Cambodia alone. Over there, i kept thinking and thinking. What actually lies ahead?

I think, i found the answer from famous ancient Chinese DAO Philosopher - Zhuang Zi (庄子)

He said:

Do not be afraid of anything you want to do when you are young, do not regret the things you have done when you are old.

年轻时、不要怕。年老时、不要悔。

中国今年多灾多难!

继雪灾、西藏骚乱及四川大地震之后,现在在神州大陆又发生了“强降雨”!华南各省几乎都发生了水灾且灾情严重!

看来,老天是不能让中国人民开开心心的迎接奥运了!现在可是六月了!我想,最糟糕的情况该是中国延迟奥运吧?如真如此,那些反华势力应会雀跃万分!称为一场大胜利!

他们才不理你人民受了什么苦哩,似乎有民主就又幸福。但,这道理行得通吗?

欢迎全球进入高通膨时代!

随着去年美国的次级房贷危机的爆发,美国联储局为了挽救这件危机,只好大量降低利率。利率的降低也意味着美元钞票数量增加了,在短时间内又没这么多的“买家”,所以美元价值暴跌。

石油交易意向来都与美元挂钩,美元贬值了,石油价自然就上升了。

当然,相信全球还有一堆堆的炒家,炒着石油、食物、等等的期货。因为各类物价的在短短数个月内的升幅大得让人觉得不可思议,因为需求绝没可能增加得如此迅速!

好了,现在各国都面对高通膨了!越南现在城门起大火了,接下来还不知有哪个不幸的国家中招!苦的还是人民啊!

马来西亚是个产油国,但是政府竟然大幅度削减了石油补贴!岂有此理!为何不学学中国,其国内数间石油公司已暂时出口石油以应付国内不时之需,好稳定石油供应及油价!石油公司的确该扮演此类战略角色,而非只为了赚钱!

“国家石油”年年出口高品质石油赚大钱,在这个危难时刻,那笔钱竟不能发挥出一丝作用!!!想必是已为高官朋党所吞,抑或使用不当、大肆挥霍!最近就爆出了雪州前任政府一大堆浪费公款数十亿的白象工程。一个已如此,剩下的十之八九意识如此。想想每年这么多的钱培养了一个个的亿万富豪,马来西亚还真能啊!

丑事一件件在人民眼前慢慢的揭开,残忍极了!

现在可好了,样样东西价格飞扬,人民薪水却仍处于低水平,购买力亦低落。眼前日子似乎不好过啊!

馬哈迪評“新經濟政策”

一向来,这位前首相的所作所为足以说出他是一位马来民族主义极端分子。

所以看了他的部落格的这篇评价“新经济政策”与多元种族社会的文章,感到有点意外。

有道是“人之将死、其言也善”。

老马看开了。
