Preachers banned from preaching divisive teachings

Let it not be said that I don't say anything good about Singapore (mostly because it's way more fun to talk shit about that country) but reading about Singapore's decision to ban hardliners from preaching in their country does make me feel good.

Now, those are Muslims preachers obviously but don't expect other religions to get a free pass since they did that to two Christian preachers who went about preaching the same type of bullshit. Ah, my heart is filled with such joy at the sight of assholes being denied the ability to do what they want to do: spread ill-will and disharmony across the world.

So in conclusion, good job Singapore and fuck those assholes in the assholes for being such fucking assholes. Go jump back into the asshole of your assholery where you belong and stay in there for the rest of your unnatural lifespan.

Trump and Netanyahu kissing in the West Bank

Relax. It's just a mural. Trump has not declared that he is out of the closet in anyway and frankly, I would prefer that he remained straight. It's less embarrassing that way.

Anyways, reviewing the artwork. Looks pretty nice I'll have to say but I'll have to take away points because it depicts a couple with zero romantic chemistry and that the couple themselves are very unappealing to look at. I can always vomit thanks to how physically repulsive they look, which is pretty much the whole point of the mural, two very repulsive individual making love to each other and fucking over the West Bank.

All in all, 10 out 10 with points given back for a nice artistic interpretation.

Back to mocking Trump

Hey, did you know that there's a Donald J Trump park? What do you think it looks like? Extravagant plants, gold covered leaves with gold covered toilets and only the rich may enter since they've paid a ten thousand dollar entry fee?

Hah. Nah. The place looks like shit. It always has and it always will be. Here's a link to a site that has pictures of the place and dear god, the damn place looks like something out of the Walking Dead. Maybe they should film their next season there if they have one? Is that show still going on?

Budget 2018

Took a quick look at it and here's my very layman's understanding of the whole thing in a nutshell. It feels like it's trying to fix the immediate surface issues without focusing on anything big or new.

Sure, they're cutting a little bit of the income tax rates, reducing loan fees for students, increasing the number of affordable housing and all that other jazz and there's a few more plans to improve healthcare tourism and the agricultural sector but it just feels...eh.

Like you know, they're just offering a patch up job in order to look good for the 2018 election. Bribery in the form of incentives and tax cuts without giving a big plan for the future.

Should we blame the Penang government for the Tanjung Bungah landslide?

Yes. Yes, we should. See, here's the fun thing about leaning towards the authoritarian side of the spectrum. The government is in charge of all these oversights and developers have to get permission from the government in order to get construction done. Thus, the government is responsible for making sure that the developer does not start until every box is checked and nothing can go wrong.

Because there was a landslide, thus the government is to be blamed. They may not have given permission to the developers, but neither did they enforce the lack of permission being granted and people actually started work on the site, thus causing a landslide and causing people to die.

So as far as I am concerned and with all due respect to the people involved, the answer is yes. We should blame the Penang government for not doing its duty in making sure that this incident never occurred in the first place.

No place for exclusivity but you said it too late

Najib, remember two months ago during the Charlottesville Nazi rally where Trump refused to call out the Nazis and KKK? Remember how everyone condemned him so hard that he had to do a second speech one weekend later to do damage control even though he clearly didn't want to? You know what the problem is with that statement?

It was too fucking late and people have already had it in their minds that he is a racist son of a bitch. You took even longer to denounce exclusivity in Malaysia after several such incidents and you expect people to just sit by and forgive you?

Fuck this speech man. You should have done this immediately. It's not that difficult to see that what people have been doing is wrong, that to say racist things is moral reprehensible. So now, we're just calling this damage control and that you're just as racist as the people who did all those racist things because you didn't open your mouth.

Hey, you're a leader. A non-action is as strong as an action and that you didn't act just showed everyone that you just didn't care.

Something positive about Duterte

Yeah, it's a rare occasion when I'm going to say good for Duterte when he killed someone (let's face it. He kills people via leadership and ordering) but I'm going to say that this is a good thing: Dr Mahmud Ahmad, Malaysian IS leader is dead, making it harder for IS to operate here in Southeast Asia.

Ding dong, the witch is dead. Anything that makes life more difficult for terrorists and extremist is good in anyway if you ask me but now we need to focus on fixing the actual problem: why such people became terrorists and extremists in the first place.

Economic reasons, dissatisfaction with the current system, feeling neglected by the system, a desire to want to do something meaningful with their lives. In most cases, religion has nothing to do with why they feel the desire to join up with such heinous groups but that's something that I feel that governments will neglect.

Because let's face it: blaming religion is the easiest thing for governments to do so that they don't have to fix things. And we all know just how fucking lazy governments are when it comes to actually fixing a problem.

Watch your words

Okay. Seriously. Preachers of all sorts, please attention to the words that are coming out of your mouth. You do realize that this is a more delicate time for you right?

I mean, we have another idiot preacher who up and ran his mouth the other day, saying that Muslims should not have their hair handled by non-Muslims nor should they send their children to schools run by non-Muslims. You do know that you're having an image problem right now, don't you?

At the very least, you do know that you're espousing hate speech right? I mean you do understand that all this talk of purity is just making you more and more like Nazis and the KKK right? You know that these people are scumbags, right?

Right?

Actual IS attack on Beerfest planned?

While I remain partially skeptical regarding the case where police arrested three people who are allegedly planning to attack a beer festival, it raises other worrying questions.

If this attack is true, how much has the racial and religious tension arisen here in Malaysia? How have things fallen to such a level where people feel compelled to attack a festival? This is a troublesome trend and there is no easy fix, as proven by the Americans and their own continued struggles with racism (see Donald Trump, eternal bigot and douchebag).

While things are looking down, especially now with the upcoming general elections and politicians resorting to attacking people using racial and religious slurs, I want to remain positive. People are willing to change, or at the very least, grow accustomed to each other.

With all due respect, I don't think that such extremists would attack others because they are jealous of the peace that we have in the country. They make such attacks because there are deep seated issues that they feel are not being addressed, from the poverty that they are currently enduring to the fact that they feel that their way of life is being threatened by others. 

So, I call for a change. Not just in the government but in our mindsets. We need to get rid of this 'other side' mindset that is deeply entrenched in us and there is just one way to do it: we need to get along like bonobos so that we can achieve greater peace.

Bonobos for the win!

You know, this means war

So, Zamihan, you still want to keep doing this, don't you? You still want to go around spewing racist teachings and being an overall asshole in general, huh?

Well, two can play at that game. Keep doing that and everyone everywhere will keep telling you that you are a morally repugnant and racist scum. You are scum and deserve the scorn of the world for teaching what you teach and saying what you say.

I promise you this. For as long as you keep preaching racist shit like you did, everyone will remember you as a racist prick and even after you stop preaching that, we will remember you as a racist prick.

So stay unrepentant, you racist prick. That's what we're going to remember you as. A racist prick.

Chief Jackass Abdul Hamid Mohamad

Look, chief jackass. Just because the law somehow says that discrimination is legal does not make it okay to discriminate against people in any manner.

Do we even have to explain to you that discrimination is bad? Does we have to teach you that this is a morally repugnant behavior to do? Do we have to tell you that discrimination in any form makes people want to avoid doing business with you?

JFC, this is not about whether something is legal or not. This is about discrimination against people based on their religion and race and that is a bad thing. B-A-D. Morally bad.

But it's clear that you have no morals so fuck you, Chief Jackass Abdul Hamid Mohammad.

Anti-kleptocracy

So...I did actually drop by at the anti-kleptocracy rally to have a look at what was going on...and I really don't know what to say about it. Well, I guess I can say my shit which is not going to me make me popular with my non-existent readership so here goes.

Okay...I honestly didn't know what to expect here. It is my first time checking out the rally after all and I guess I did expect some anti-Umno and anti-BN rhetoric but...all of it being just that? To be fair, I arrived there at 6 pm and left at 8.30 pm so there might have been more to it but having just anti-establishment speeches was just tedious.

There were plenty of dancing though. I guess it's to alleviate the constant BN bashing and the dancing and traditional music were pleasing and suited the unity theme. But...maybe I just expected more than that.

Of course, it's not election season yet and so they can't do some actual campaigning but I really expected something meatier other than let's rally the crowd and tap into the people's tribal instincts to get them to vote for us.

On the plus side, for the 2.5 hours I was there, there weren't any traffic trouble...so I guess the police were wrong on that part.  Take that however you want it and that's just me talking about my own expectations of the rally. If you wanted more Umno and BN bashing, good for you but it wasn't for me.

Edit 1: Oh and Pakatan, I call bullshit on the whole 25k people turning up at the rally. I was there and it didn't remotely look like 25k people at all. Half the field wasn't even used when I was there.

Edit 2: Also. what's up with the Guy Fawkes mask? I saw quite a few of those and I'm thinking, "They do know that Guy Fawkes is a terrorist who tried to bomb the Parliament right? Or did they only watch the movie and thought that Hugo Weaving was so cool in that one?"

Taking another break

So let's take about giant robots instead. And yeah, they're going to have a real robot battle pretty soon and however you look at it, it's going to be pretty damn sweet.

Does this mean we're going to have actual mechs in battle soon? The answer is: are you fucking stupid? Of course, they're not. The future of warfare are in drones, both aerial and ground-based in order to reduce the number of human lives lost. Giant robots still need humans to be inside them in order to work and the current designs of war vehicles are too efficient to throw it away for a ridiculous inefficient humanoid design (height, stability, weight, mobility, terrain, etc).

So just shut up and watch robots beat each other up for fun. It's at least going to be more entertaining than watching Bayformers, I can guarantee that much.

Wolf Warriors 2 for Oscar nomination?

China, are you really that stupid? Don't you know that if you want to get an Oscar nomination, you should not be putting up an action movie for submission? Those movies tend to be laughed out by the judges who have a very real list of movie criteria that you need to follow if you want to stand a shot of nomination.

Now if the movie was about a disabled homosexual war veteran with mental and physical issues but not to the point of full retard who is imprisoned in a concentration camp during the Holocaust played an actor who physical modified himself to look like a malnourished war veteran...now, that's an Oscar winner right there.

Anti-kleptocracy rally

Looks like the anti-kleptocracy rally will still be taking place at Padang Timur so here's some advice for people who wants to go there: take the fucking LRT and stop at the Taman Jaya station, you nitwit.

No seriously. Padang Timur is right next to the Taman Jaya LRT station. Just swallow your pride and take the fucking train to the rally if you really want to go. Shove it down the authorities' throat regarding their traffic congestion bullshit.

If I do go, I'm walking there because I just live across the road from the field. Fuck that shit about driving there. Probably will be late because I have to feed the dogs too and let's face it: I rank my dogs above politics any time of the day.

Fuck Jakim (because I love saying that)

No seriously, fuck Jakim. As it turns out, one of their officers will be facing action for criticizing the Sultan of Johor from prohibiting a Muslim-only launderette from operating in Johor.

My attention went to the racist remark that he made during his speech, which goes as follows:

“It is a norm for the Chinese to not wash themselves after defecating and urinating. What about menstrual blood in their undergarments? Or what if they hugged a dog, drank alcohol, ate pork...It’s not that we are prejudiced against them. But, the elements of alcohol, dog and pork is all related to them. So, if they want to patronise a laundrette, then patronise a normal laundrette,”

Stop right there, you piece of shit. The moment you say something like "It's not that we are prejudiced against them," it clearly means that you are prejudiced against them. It's like when people say, "With all due respect." They always mean, "Kiss my ass." 

So stop saying, "We are not prejudiced" or "I have friends who are". It doesn't mean that when you say such things, you can then follow up by saying shitty things about the people that you are disparaging. If you don't like them or are prejudiced against them, then say so. At least you're an honest bigot. Still a fucking bigot but at least honest. I'll still hate your guts but it's not built on a foundation of lies.

As a side note, the preacher/officer released a statement saying that it's his right to raise his views regarding the situation and you know what, he's right. He gets to say whatever he wants. He has the freedom of speech to do so.

But do remember one thing. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of your speech. If you say something stupid, expect people to criticize you. If you say something racist, expect people to call you a bigot. Don't hide behind the freedom of speech excuse whenever you say something bigoted and racist. It just shows that you're a fucking coward who cannot take responsibility for their own actions and words.

RIP Kassim Ahmad

My condolences to his family and while I know next to nothing about the man himself, styled as a Muslim intellectual, I will say this: anyone whom Jawi has a beef with on grounds of challenging the intellectual state of Islam deserves my respect.

So RIP Kassim Ahmad in the arms of the God that you worship and fuck Jawi, because there's always a good reason to say fuck Jawi.

Second Charlottesville march

Again? What the fuck is wrong with you, America? Are you really trying to promote Nazism as part of your legacy? Is it because Trump refused to condemn Nazis and the KKK so you're feeling emboldened?

So, yeah. Again. There's a second march at Charlottesville and I'm just shaking my head as to how fucking embarrassing this is for the US of A. Some people say that you can't pick and choose anything that you like about history and that the statues should stay up but they're wrong.

The statues should go down. Plain and simple. The statues do mean something besides your proud Southern heritage and it means that you don't give a fuck about how other people feel because you're white and you're proud of it and you condone the message of slavery. Is that how you want to be remembered? That you're a country of slavers?

Fuck it. Confederate apologists are really fucking weird.

Toshino Kyoko!

Jamal Md Yunos has been released after his anti-alcohol protest and now he wants to start an ice-cream protest to further protest any beer festival.

Very well then, I propose that we start our own ice-cream festival. We'll call it the Toshino Kyoko ice cream festival in which everyone is given the character's favorite flavor of ice-cream. Then we can all go and eat our ice cream in peace.

What? You expected a rant from me? The only reason why I'm caring about this is because some idiot is trying to be a fucking moral guardian and I fucking hate fucking moral guardians. These people are assholes in the highest order.

Wolfenstein is anti-Nazi?

No fucking shit. On the day that North Korea released a press conference saying that the US tried to kill Kim Jong-un, I decide to focus instead a few people's outrage over the fact that Wolfenstein, a game series set in World War 2 that is about killing Nazis, is a game about killing Nazis.

Specifically, they are upset over what they perceive is a liberal view over Nazism or some bullshit like that and fuck, I'm not in the fucking mood to go into any kind of detail over the whole damn thing because it's stupid as fuck.

Wolfenstein is a game about shooting Nazis. It always has and it always will be. There is nothing political about the fucking game in the slightest whether the right thinks it or the left thinks it. Defeating Nazis is always a good thing irregardless of your political stance. Fuck, that should be your political stance at any given time.

On the plus side, this is a video game and there ain't going to be any politician who's going to chime in and say anything about this. So fuck this shit. Wolfenstein isn't political and anyone who thinks it, whether they are left or right are fucking idiots.

Did Rex Tillerson call Trump a fucking moron?

Who the fuck cares? It's not really important at all given the shit that's been happening so far and we're giving fucks about whether someone called another person a fucking moron?

I mean, it's a given fact that Trump is a fucking moron so why is it important to show that Rex Tillerson is calling his boss a fucking moron? Is it to show that Trump's administration is getting tired of him? We know that already given their off-camera reactions to his many, many public gaffes.

Nah. I think in someways, Rex Tillerson calling Trump a fucking moron is just a way for mainstream media to lighten the mood after the shit that's been happening this past couple of weeks. Mass shooting, ethnic cleansing, devastating hurricanes, etc. Trump being used as a punching bag is just a way to lighten the stress of reporting such shitty incidents, methinks.

But, let's make clear, y'all. Trump is always going to be a fucking moron no matter what so it does not matter who calls him a fucking moron because we all know that he's a fucking moron. Even he knows it. So that's not news in the slightest at all.

No changes in the future

On October 1 2017, a mass shooting took place at a concert held by Jason Aldean. As of the time of this writing, there are at least 58 casualties (not including the shooter who killed himself) and at least 527 injured. Condolences to the family and friends of those who died.

First thing to note: ISIL tried to claim responsibility. That has quickly been proven false and is just a pathetic attempt on ISIL's part to poke their nose into every single thing that has been happening around the world. Shut the fuck up ISIL and go stand in the corner like the bad idiot that you are.

Second thing to note: nothing's going to change as a result of this. It's going to be the usual argument amongst the Democrats and the Conservatives, the NRA will stick its finger and say that good people with guns stop bad people with guns, Second Amendment activists will raise their hands, people will buy as many guns as they can in order to avoid losing out on gun purchases.

All of that hass happened before during Sandyhooks, Virginia Tech and so many countless more shootings in America that it's almost boring at this point.

And that's the sad part really. America really is the only country in the world where this is a complicated issue. Everywhere else just says, "Let's be stricter with guns and make it harder for people to get guns," and everyone is just cool with it. "Let's make it harder to get shot," people said.

I get why it's hard to give your guns. They're fucking cool. Our entertainment has done everything to glorify the killing instruments and I'm guilty of it too. But I don't live in America and I don't understand this weirdly obsessive need to hold on to your ability to purchase and sell guns in such an easy fashion.

But I'm not American, I'm don't live there and so my thoughts don't count and nothing's going to change there and we'll get another mass shooting in a few weeks' time because that's how things will play out in America and forever will.

Is there really that impression?

I admit, I don't go to the gym at all because I think that gyms are a waste of money in general, but hey, power to those who maintain a disciplined routine and eating habit and want to look like body builders.

So, it's quite a surprised to me that there is apparently a stereotype that single men who go to gyms are gay. Really? Why? I don't get it. But no, according to this guy, it is a thing. Someone posted a video about him allegedly performing a blowjob on a dude and he's riled up about it.

Oh...it's a scandal whether the video is true or not. If the video is true, someone committed a breach of privacy and should go to jail, right? Although, this is fucking Malaysia and the poor guy will be end up being harassed by the law so fuck the law in this case. Nothing much to say if the video is fake though.
