Short Talk:
Nicole and I have just submitted our application for The Amazing Race Asia 2. Keeping our fingers crossed. ;)
So Hardworking
I love Malaysia.
Only in this country can you see a politician donning a construction worker's hard hat, painstacking laying bricks on a building. All for the love of community.

Poor guy. He didn't even have time to change out of his expensive batik shirt!

Wow. What a show. Keep it up Kenny. Help us all open up our eyes on our 'hardworking' politicians who bring cameramen with them.
Good stuff! =)

Do you guys think it's very funny and good to laugh at politicians? There're a lot more stupid politicians that we could laugh at, but I do not think Ong Ka Ting is the one... You guys suck... so superficial... Based on a photo, you guys could interpret all the negative attribution..
Wawasan 2020 is too far away not just because of the political conditions in our country, but also how childish people like you all behave..
If you guys are so good at it, why not you all go out to lead the country rather than barking here?
Posted by: dragonlem at 29 March 2007 8:04 AM | Link to comment
wuf wuf wuf!! we love barking at something that's wrong. why are we seeing this only during an election? our hardworking politicians care so much about us that they don't mind working as a bricklayer.
Posted by: ATT at 29 March 2007 8:15 AM | Link to comment
whats wrong with ong ka ting? at least he's doing better than samy vellu or even pak lah, oh please kenny, get a better target to shoot
Posted by: res at 29 March 2007 8:20 AM | Link to comment
Ok...
Mr ATT...
If you were the politician.. Make sure you do that every day...which I do not think you would be.. because if you think only what you believe is right... You're being too objective.. People like you would never get to see the other side...
In psychology...they call it egocentric bias

Maybe the batik shirt was made with ClimaLite technology

ffs it happens everywhere in the world my friend. this is so overstated. please get your facts right before stating something so blatantly stupid.
Posted by: Jack at 29 March 2007 9:22 AM | Link to comment
This picture could be taken to set an example? I agree that sometimes it is for show, but some cases are genuine. Of coz...the batik was a give-away. :P
Posted by: Faith at 29 March 2007 9:28 AM | Link to comment
Dont say like that lar, maybe thats part of the ground breaking ceremony??
SO whats wrong with bringing camera men to withness the ground breaking ceremony by our minister??
ANd he even did it with his batik on.......give him some credit for it......>.
Posted by: Alexia at 29 March 2007 9:39 AM | Link to comment
Ong Ka Ting is no angel. He is not doing thing for the benefits of Chinese. Look at the many issues where the MCA keep quiet. Ong Ka Ting and the rest of MCA dogs are the slave for UMNOputra

Kenny i believe sometimes you take things too far. Though I personally believe you really care for this country, there are a lot more of your readers who are not as mature as you, who conveniently jump on the bandwagon that you pull, and take convenient pot shots at people. Please do think about the amount of influnce you wield. Ong Ka Ting is, i believe, a good man. A lot of your readers could do with a little less easy criticism and a lot more soul searching before they condemn so easily.If your readers really care about the country, let me ask, how many of them are helping the less fortunate? Do they spend time doing charity? how much of their hard earned income do they give away. How many of them actually bothered to drag themselves out of bed to vote in the last election? Do they even know who their ADUN/MP is? Kenny, I believe that with the amount of influence you have, you could post much more inspiring posts that would actually help people see beyond the superficial. Cheers

i cant stand but laugh after seeing lim kit siiang's comment. Why must you all overeact? Kenny din dirrectly say that Ong Kar Ting was acting, maybe he was just pointing out the obviously stupid misdressing for the wrong occasion?

Posted by: anony at 29 March 2007 6:54 PM | Link to comment
hahahahahahah i will only respect ong ka ting or whosoever that fight for the right of any MALAYSIAN that can be the PM. i thought we are a multiracial community which is striking to become one MALAYSIAN.. so when is the turn anyone from MCA,MIC,PPS etc can become the PM? if that ka ting is so good, he should make this is main obj as a whoever say he is a good politician.
In politics, there will never be Equality!

Hey Kenny, who the hell is this politician? From the comments I assume this is Ong Kar Ting and minister of what? Please enlighten those of us who are not familiar with the local politics. I would lump most politicians together with all the rest of the bottom feeders like used car salemen, lawyers, etc. The only time you see a politician doing some public work is when an election is near. Funny blog though, maybe he is minister for fashion, hahaha...

Aiyoo u go feature this worst chinese politician in the country. He's the one who calls himself as the one who represents all the chinese in malaysia and the fact is - he's the one who `sia shew' all the Chinese in msia

Ong Ka Ting looks like a good decent man. But he is not capable of doing much for us chinese considering the circumstances now. MCA's been pretty quiet for some time. UMNO sits on them.
oh well... MALAYSIA BOLEH! LaY the BRICKS

Politician wearing a blue and white batik while laying cement on bricks, most probably signifying that election is just around the corner. Of course Malaysia Boleh!

Oh great. For something as trivial as a batik wearing construction worker, today's entry sure has a bunch of whiny bitches complaining about local politics. What's the god damn point of voicing stupid comments on politicians on blogs? Why don't you 21-and-older dumbasses (younger people are pardoned) register as voters and give them a piece of your minds come the next GE?
