Stop the Bigotry

By -
Malaysian have traditionally been peace loving. We respect each others customs and culture. However, lately our lifestyle is being threatened. This morning a cow head was placed at the entrance of one of our Indian politician. Cows are sacred animal to our Indian friends.

It is indeed sad to see this incident. Clearly a small group is trying to instigate the majority into violence. The silence and inaction for those in power speaks volume. If no action is taken on the perpetrator of this incidents, it means that those in power and condoning such act. Lately, we see more and more such acts taking place. Also we see selective enforcement of the law. The insensitive remark by our home minister is indeed shocking!

Luckily, the majority have been level headed and chose to maintain peace. However, how long can this continue? The peace and stability of our blessed nation is being threatened by the very people who have been given the duty to protect our nation. Who are the people in the shadow, the mastermind of all these cowardly but dangerous act? What is the motive? Don't they realize that by destroying our racial harmony, their interest in this country will also be affected? Maybe, they do not care, they may have moved their riches outside the country. If that is so, why continue to threaten the rest of us?

Nature has blessed us with a lot of resources. There is more than enough for all of us to share. However, we need to maintain our standard of education. Lately, we see also a drop in the education standard again as a result of politics. What was once our competitive edge (and still is at the moment) is also at risk.

We love our country and want to continue to enjoy peace and harmony (and hopefully prosper). Please do not take that away from us.

Removing Skin Tags

I do not remember when I skin tag first appeared on my neck. Skin tags may appear cosmetic, but I have some tags that feel sore, the kind of soreness that seem to come from the nerves. At first, I did not know what to do with the tags, but luckily for me, my wife came up with a way to remove the tags. She pulled a strand of her hair and tied the tag. The tag will turn black and fall off together with the hair. This approach was effective until my wife decided to shorten her hair and her eyesight started to deteriorate. Since then I tried looking for alternative ways of removing the skin tags. One of the approaches is to apply apple vinegar on the tags. I tried it, but it did not work for me, either because of the way I applied or because I had not applied it frequently enough (I applied it only at night because of the strong smell of the vinegar). I considered freezing the tag using hydrogen peroxide - treatment used to remove benign warts. The pharmacist recommended an alt...

Anime Review: Rakshasa Street

I recently watch this anime that was in Mandarin with English subtitle. The story revolves between a girl and two brothers. She met him while crossing the road without looking. He knocked her down and caused him to lose the food he was delivering. This chance encounter explains why she calls him and why he calls her stupid girl. The anime consist of 24 episodes. The development was good, the first episode focus on her looking for a job as a fresh graduate at a job fair (where thousand of others are doing the same thing). Later she receives a text to attend an interview at night. While walking towards the interview, she looked around and realized that the building looked spooky. She then started thinking of why a company would call her for an interview so late in the night - human traffickers or organ traders. By then she was lost in Rakshasa Street filled with demon soldiers. Turns out that she is in a place for the dead and humans are forbidden there. I enjoyed the story....

Movie Review: Zootopia

By -
Initially I was not interested in watching Zootopia in the cinema, but my son expressed interest in the movie. However, he was too busy with a lot of other activities and was unable to go with us. Instead I took my daughter with me to the movie. We loved it, the storytelling was great, it has mystery, plot twist and humor. We are first introduced to Judy Hopps, a bunny who wanted to the first rabbit to join the police force, but both her parents did not support the idea. They preferred that she continued the family tradition and remain a carrot farmer. Most would have succumbed to the pressure and give up the dream but not Judy. Her partner is Nick Wilde a fox; Judy fell for one of his scams during their first encounter, but managed to blackmail him to help her later in the movie. The movie makes good use of stereotypes in the story, showing how societies prejudice pressures makes some of these stereotypes, self fulfilling (as in the case of Nick). Judy and Nick reminds me of 48 h...
