Statutory Declarations - documents of respect

Raja Petra Kamarudin, no more fondly called RPK, has lost his credibility in my eyes, the moment he made a U-turn by saying that the Statutory Declaration that he made involving Dato’ Sri Najib and his wife, in the murder of the Mongolian model, Altantuya, was not true.

He may give a thousand and one excuses, like he was made to believe that the couple was involved, or, maybe, like he was, there, at the place of the crime, personally, and two people looked like them but not them or, perhaps, like he had a strong vision in his sleep that the couple were involved, and only now he realized that, all along, it had been a bad dream. The fact of the matter is that, he had taken for granted, the making of a somber and an oath-taken document, such as a Statutory Declaration, and had been loosely exhibiting more than one such document in his online portal, Malaysia Today. He should have been very careful and conscious of the consequences before going ahead with Statutory Declarations.

I think an apology to his readers, like me, and an assurance that in future no such Statutory Declarations would be made, just to prove some points, should be coming out from him. However, prior to that, there is still one more final Statuary Declaration for him to make; one to nullify the earlier Statutory Declaration that incriminated the first couple! This is because a Statutory Declaration will always outweigh any word of mouth. Just ask PI Bala!

Having said that, I hope RPK won’t be known as 'a man of Statutory Declarations'!

Padmini, twenty years back

Padmini has a baby
In stomach
So happy and proud she is!
She is going to be
The mother to
Another child!

Poor soul!
Little does she know that
The child
In her stomach
Is going to keep her
Occupied
For the rest of her life
For, it is going to be a
Mentally anomalous
‘Down Syndrome’ child
And the child will need her
Feeding him
Cleaning him up 
Dressing him
For the whole of his life!
For the whole of her life!

Poor Padmini
She doesn’t know
She is happy now
So very happy!

Malacca! Oh, Malacca!

SMOKING HAS ITS REWARDS!

I wish I am a government servant in Malacca, and am a smoker. 

For here is a chance for me to get some rewards, if I stopped smoking. 

According to the statement given by the Chief Minister of the state of Malacca Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, to a popular daily, on Sunday April 24, 2011, if I am a state government employee, and if I stopped smoking within a fixed time frame, I could get promoted! Wow! What a pleasant shocker in the month of April! 

There are more goodies! I could also go on vacations. (Paris, wait for me)! Read further! Electrical appliances are also dangled. Oh, I mean offered, for the smoking-halt. And cash! There is also cash to be had!

Alas! I am a Perakian. Never mind I will encourage my son to smoke and send him off to Malacca. Hope he gets a government job!

Please don't divorce!

People please, oh please, don’t divorce! 

Why did you marry in the first place? Why did you invite hundreds, if not thousands of people to witness your marriage? Sure, you wanted to let them know you were becoming life partners! You exhibited yourself as very happy and loving couple! Grinning teeth to teeth. All for what? Why didn’t you be prepared for all the shortcomings that you will face after your marriage? The misunderstandings that will come your way? Did you stop for a second to think what will happen to your child or children when you separate? The uncertainties, the mental torture, the wrong conception of life, the urge, the inclination towards sin! No, you just want to look after number one, yourself. You, and only you, want to be happy. So selfish! So very selfish!

Oh, so you still want to divorce, eh? Why don’t you again invite all those people who witnessed your wedding, to also witness your divorce? Let them know you are no longer husband and wife. No guts, eh? Shameful, eh? Then don’t marry in the first place! So there will be no such thing as divorce! And no child is going to suffer!
