LET THIS TRUE STORY SERVE AS A WARNING

To the men : warn your loved ones!
To the women : remember this!

About a month ago there was a woman standing by the Mega Mall entrance
passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written
the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she
might warn other women.

The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her
car and discovered that she had a flat. She got the jack out of the
trunk and began to change the flat. A nice man dressed in business
suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said,
'I notice you're changing a flat tire. Would you like me to take care
of it for you?'

The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They
chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat
tire and the jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off.

The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get in her
car, the man told her that he left his car around on the other side of
the mall, and asked if she would mind giving him a lift to his car.
She was a little surprised and asked him why his car was on the other
side. He explained that he had met an old friend in the mall whom he
hadn't seen for some time and they had a bite to eat and visited for a
while; he got turned around in the mall and left through the wrong
exit, and now he was running late and his car was clear around on the
other side of the mall.

The woman hated to tell him 'no' because he had just rescued her from
having to change her flat tire all by herself, but she felt uneasy.
Then she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her trunk
before shutting it and before he asked her for the ride to his car.

She told him that she'd be happy to drive him to his car, but she just
remembered one last thing she needed to buy. She said she would only
be a few minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait for her; she
would be as quick as she could be. She hurried into the mall, and told
a security guard what had happened; the guard came out to her car with
her, but the man had left.

They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it down
to the police station. The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID
so they could return it to the man). What they found was rope, duct
tape and knives.

When the police checked her 'flat' tire, there was nothing wrong with
it; the air had simply been let out. It was obvious what the man's
motive was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it out in
advance.

The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. How much worse it would
have been had she waited in the car while the man fixed the tire, or
if she had a baby strapped into a car seat. Or if she'd gone against
her judgment and given him a lift. I'd like you to forward this to all
the women you know.

Well Balanced..

What a fine balancing act...

Scrap those Schools

At last, some politician agreed with me. SCRAP THOSE CHINESE SCHOOLS, SCRAP THOSE TAMIL SCHOOLS, SCRAP ALSO NATIONAL/ RELIGIOUS SCHOOL CONCEPT. Everyone should work towards become more 'pious & religious". Why the hell do we have some groups (sekolah agama) who are supposed to be more 'alim' than others? Everyone should understand their religion.. Everyone.. So who nees religious schools? Just make all sekolah kebangsaan islamic...

Mukhriz: Scrap vernacular schools, one system for all

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno Youth chief aspirant Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir has called on the Government to abolish the vernacular school system as a means to enhance unity among people of various races.

He said a single school system was the only way to check the racial polarisation that was getting out of control in the country.

“The government should consider introducing only one school system with Bahasa Malaysia as the medium of instruction, except for Science and Mathematics which are already being taught in English.

“Of course, pupils should then be given the option to study their mother tongues. Under this system, the Malays will also have the option of studying other languages like Mandarin and Tamil and this will further boost unity among them,” he told reporters at Parliament House on Monday.

The Umno Youth exco member said it was time for Malaysia to do away with the dual school system, which was practised by only a handful of countries in the world, as it had contributed to the problem of disunity in the country.

He said over 99% of countries in the world practised a single school system.

He expressed hope that leaders of Barisan Nasional component parties would not take his suggestion in a negative light as it was only meant as a suggestion to resolve, once and for all, the problem of racial polarisation affecting the citizenry.

“If they reject this suggestion, then they should explain why they are against it. How is it possible for them on one hand to talk about unity and question Malay rights, while on the other hand still insist on having a different school system for their race?

“If you want equal rights then you cannot have a different school sistem. You cannot have your cake and eat it too,” he added.
