Western mentality

Today, I was thinking about east and west. 1 of the developed countries in the world is Japan. Yet how many japanesse are leading world organizations? based on their expertise?
Leave out Ban Ki Moon. First of all he is a korean, secondly he was selected to be general secretary of UN due to politic reasons. So he does not qualify.
No matter how much experience an asian has,the westerners thinks that they are much better than us asians. Trust me I been in this situations so many times that i've been discriminated just because I am an asian.

I can give numerous examples but  I will give you the most recent one. I've been involved in emergencies actively for the last 3 years close to 4 years. I have field experience I have hands on experience and than there is a person exceptionally  good in writing documents. Lets say also good in formulating trainings  Now, we both are sent for a training/workshop and in this workshop apparently the person who has no emergency experience will be a facilitator and me as participant and the best part is  I am being evaluated based on what I say and on my  inputs. and the other person will be in the central position to assist me if I ran in to problems.

You be the judge and tell me this. Who has the experience in emergency and who should be the facilitator and participant.


If you come to the same conclusion as me than FUCK theses westerner  Asians are as good or even better than westerners if not do enlighten me why Asians are less competent than the westerners.

Malaysian Indian's Mentality

I always believed to some extend that Malaysian Indian's mentality still backward by 2 generations. I am not saying all of them but majority of them are.

There are many things that I can list down as an example but it would be too sensitive to talk simply because these ethnic group is very much emotionaly sensitive people.

A human being is not completely smart if they have just high IQ they should also have high EQ or EI.

Emotional intelligence (EI) describes the ability, capacity, skill or, in the case of the trait EI model, a self-perceived grand ability to identify, assess, manage and control the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups.^[1]
Wikipedia

The reason I am talking about this is because, today I was reading thorough Raja Petra's Article called Dear Syed Akbar. you can read it here http://malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/no-holds-barred/34657-dear-syed-akbar-ali

He said this about Indians in that article "The Indians appeal to God every day but God Samy Vellu just enriches himself, his friends and his family and ignores the Indian community. But the Indians do not appear to see that God helps those who help themselves. You can’t expect others to help you. If India maintained that same level of thinking as the Malaysian Indians then India would probably still be a British colony until today."

I must say that I agree with RPK. Malaysian Indian's must stop bickering and start thinking about their future. A true Hindu would understand that GOD will not help those do not help themselves. Its written in the holly books. Understand the religion properly.

First they should stop building temples in every corner of the street. Next the bigger temple committee members should be united. I can bet 100% that ll these bigger temple committee members are not united. That is our biggest problem. Indians Can't be united under 1 roof. Once this is achieved ( I am being optimistic here) use these temples as foundation to teach PROPER way of understanding the religion to younger generation. This place of worship should be only dedicated to religion it should not be mixed with politics. Hinduism is very interesting Religion. It has all the tools for a person to survive this world and on to next. I am not comparing and I am not preaching, All am saying is Know your religion well.

If you put 5 Malaysian Indians in a room after 5 days you will find all of them dead. if you put 5 chinese in a room after 5 days you will find they would have come up with an idea that can convince you so well you would want to be their business partner. This is reality.

New job description, new job location. As many of you know, when you change your job or relocate to a new place you have to learn all over again from the start.

So here I am after almost 2 years going up and down and back and forth, doing what I like doing the most.

Emergencies!!!!!


Yup in the last 6 months I have been to 2 emergencies Haiti and Kyrgyzstan. A lot of experience a lot of new people and a lot of new procedures.Learning new things are always fun. Haiti and Kyrgyzstan blog will be another day.

Looking forward for more learning.

Ok coming back to the subject, I think I have to discipline myself to write often.

Now if I could only find the time to do that ..hhhmmmm.....

Malaysia has all the ingredients to be a failed state

First its body snatching and now position and chair snatching. It is true, and I have said this many times. Malaysia has all the ingredients to be a failed state.

I am just disgusted the way things have been happening in Perak. This is a virus . I am almost certain, this will happen again in the rest of 4 states held by the opposition.


People, “ the rakyat” should be the one deciding who should represent them selves but unfortunately I don’t think this going to happen in Perak at this moment.

The ruling government is pushing democracy to a corner. The government should for see that if they push so much the next worst thing could happen is the movement could go underground. Then it is guerilla warfare.

Patmanathan the animal

Conversion dispute: Back to square one for Indira
By CLARA CHOOI
IPOH: A High Court here has temporarily held back an earlier decision made by a separate court giving interim custody of three children to their mother M. Indira Gandhi.
Justice Wan Afrah Wan Ibrahim Tuesday granted an ad-interim stay on the order pending the court’s decision this May 14 on the contempt proceeding initiated by Indira Gandhi’s lawyers against her husband, K. Patmanathan.
Her counsel Augustine Anthony said the proceeding was raised as Patmanathan had failed to comply with the previous court order by refusing to surrender his youngest daughter, one-year-old Prasana Diksa, to his wife.
The matter, heard in chambers, was raised as a preliminary objection in the hearing of Patmanathan’s application to set aside the custody order.
Patmanathan, who was not present but was represented by counsel Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdullah, had also applied to the court for a stay of execution on the order.
Augustine said Justice Wan Afrah had set May 14 to decide on the contempt proceeding before hearing both of Patmanathan’s applications.
Until then, the situation will remain status quo, he told reporters outside the courtroom.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Haniff told reporters that during his submission on the contempt proceeding, he had told Justice Wan Afrah that Patmanathan had not committed contempt of court for the latter had already been given custody of his children.
He said that Patmanathan, a Muslim convert now known as Mohd Ridzuan Abdullah, had been granted custody by the Syariah Court on April 8.
Therefore the argument here now is which custody order should prevail -- the one by the High Court or the Syariah Court.
If Mohd Ridzuan complied with the High Court order, he would be in contempt of the Syariah Court order, he said.
On April 24, High Court judicial commissioner Ridwan Ibrahim granted interim custody of Tevi Darsiny, 12, Karan Dinish, 11, and Prasana to Indira Gandhi.
Despite this, the 34-year-old Indira, who is currently staying with her two older children, had been unable to locate her husband to retrieve her youngest child.
She has since been seeking help from the police and the public, by distributing some 5,000 posters of her husband and Prasana across the state.
