1.Muay Thai is an art of fighting invented by the Thai. In this fight two parties are involved. Invariably the stronger fighter would defeat the weaker fighter.
2.The weaker fighter if he wants to win, he has either to choose a weaker fighter or make himself stronger than the stronger fighter.
3.A comparison could be made between the Muay Thai fight and the MCA and the DAP fight.

PROGRESS
1.Progress means become increasingly better. This is something that we can not stop. We must progress simultaneously with progress.
2.Progress in politics would bring the voters to two-party system. A system which incorporate fear as the controlling force. And fear is something natural.
3.Racial politics, which is inconsistent with two-party system, is being displaced automatically. The racists, the actors in racial politics, are left with no followers.
4.Progress in education would make the voters more educated. They would become more independent and incredulous.
5.Progress in Science would make the voters use computers more extensively. Traditional media are being ignored.
6.Progress in thinking leads to the death of the May 13 Ghost.

PRIME MINISTER & HIS MINISTERS
1.In the world of politics, the prime minister is considered the most powerful man. The King, being above politics, would not be considered here. This power of the prime minister comes to him from the votes given by the people. The more votes he has, the more powerful he would be. The prime minister could not do this job alone, he would have to devise a method to assist him.
2.The most convenient method would be to have many deputies. Many people subordinate to the prime minister would be chosen to do the job. If the society is inhabited by people of different races, the leader of the paticular race would be given the job of getting the votes from his race. The number of such leaders would depend on the number of races in the society.
3.How to make these leaders work? Many countries would make these leaders ministers. Ministers are paid to do the job.
4.Ministers could again repeat the same process down the line.
5.Logically, the more people are being paid to do the job, the more votes that could be obtained in the process.
6.Some see this as a job chain, and some see this as a money chain.

MCA: THE VICTIM OF POLITICS OF RACE
1.The politics of race is the easiest kind of politics. All you need to do is to tell one race that another race or other races are the enemy. It looks simple but it is very effective. We could see this being played almost everyday.
2.But if you must rely on the votes of all races in order to win the election you can't play politics of race.
3.The Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) is just the party that must rely on the votes of all races in order to win in the election. Therefore the MCA can't play politics of race. Further, the MCA can't afford to offend any of the races, because the MCA need the support of all races to win in the election.
4.The only choice is the politics of service. This is what the MCA have been doing all these years.
5.The Democratic Action Party (DAP) is different. They thrive in areas predominantly inhabited by the Chinese and or Indians. They do not rely on the Malay votes. They can play politics of race.
6.The United Malay National Organisation (UMNO) is also different. They thrive in areas predominantly inhabited by the Malays.They do not rely on the Chinese and or Indian votes. They can also play politics of race.
7.May 13 Ghost is now dead. Providing service alone is not working. The only way out is to fight.

RACIAL POLITICIANS
1.Racial politics are politics using race. The racial politicians would first divide the people according to the race. They would then find ways to make the races to fight among themselves. While the races are busy fighting among themselves, the racial politicians would move in to take their benefits.
2.They would say to race x that race y is threatening to rob the rights of race x, and race x must act quickly, and the racial politicians are willing and ready to help. Obviously, help would not be given free.
3.Also, while the races are busy fighting, and they would not have time to see other things, the racial politicians would use this opportunity to get whatever good things that they want.
4.Essentially, racial politicians are exploiters. They use race to create a situation of conflict so that they can steal, rob and get all kinds of benefits.

WHY 505? WHY NOT 513?
1.Why 505? We know that it stands for 5th of May 2013, but why?
2.March 2008 general elections were called 308 general elections. To be consistent, May 2013 general elections should be called 513 general elections. But 513 means something very bad for Malaysians. Thus, May 2013 general elections are called 505 general elections.
3.In the just concluded general elections, Barisan Nasional could only manage to win by a simple majority, just like the previous elections. Would this trend remain?
4.If we look at other developed countries, it is not common in those countries to win by more than a simple majority. Could that be seen as a cause and effect relation?

CHINESE TSUNAMI vs URBAN TSUNAMI
1. 5-5-2013 is the date of the 13th Genaral Election in Malaysia. In this General Election Barisan Nasional won 133 seats (47.4% of the votes) while Pakatan Rakyat won 89 seats (50.9% of the votes). Barisan Nasional would continue to rule for the next five years.
2. Some attributed the change to 'Chinese tsunami', while others attributed it to 'Urban tsunami'.
3. Assuming that it was a 'Chinese tsunami', what then was the real cause? What is visible is that the family structure of the Chinese have changed, previously Chinese families would have more children but less opportunity for education as they were required to start working early to help their families. But now Chinese families would have less children, and these children are given more opportunity to gain higher education. More education means more independent.
4. Another important factor is that the Malaysian society as a whole may have changed.
5. Firstly, the emergence of Pakatan Rakyat has caused the people to see that there is an alternative. This development is not unique to Malaysia as it is commonly seen also in other countries.
6. Secondly, the rapid expension of the modern media has suddenly created a new type of people which may be called cyberpeople.
7. Everthing changes. Adaptation is the only way to keep living.

FOLLOW AND KEEP YOUR JOB.
1. Inherent structural defect can happen in politics. The basic unit of a political relationship is the electors and the elected. It goes without saying that the job of the elected is to advance the interests of the electors. Everything would be fine as long as the electors are having common interests.
2. When the interests of the electors are in conflict, there is still a way out. The wise elected could choose to follow the wishes of the majority. This way he can still save his job.
3. But following the wishes of the majority of the electors is not the same as doing the right thing. The majority could be wrong, and if you follow the wrong, you would also be wrong. When the majority is wrong, you are placed in a dilemma. To follow them and keep your job or not to follow them and lose your job.
4. How many would choose not to follow and be ready to lose the job?

REJECTED
1. The product that we are selling is nothing unique. It appears that the product that is being sold by our competitor is more appealing. However due to the presence of fear among trhe buyers, our product has been chosen by the buyers. We may not realise the real reason why we are being able to sell our product well.
2. Time moves on. Things keep changing. Nothing is permanent, except this one.
3. Suddenly, the buyers changed to our rival's product. The buyers rejected our product almost totally. We are lost. We can't understand why.
4. Probably, fear no longer exists. The buyers have changed.

THE WORLDS WITHIN THE WORLD
1. We have been taught from young that this is the only world that we have. This is your world. My world. Our world. But now we are being told something different.
2. Our Psychologists would now tell us that in actual fact we are all living in different worlds. No two persons could live in the same world. We need an explanation! They would tell us that our mind and our memory constitutes an environment in which we exist. No two persons can have identical sensation. No two persons can have identical mental environment. If this is the case then it makes sense to say that we are all living in different worlds. This is the mental environment. If we can have mental environment, we can similarly have other kinds of environment.
3. May be we could use human activities as a differentia to the genus environment. In such a case we could have business world, world of politics, world of ordinary people...............Different worlds imply different rules and criteria. Just like, when we are on the land, we walk; when we are in the water, we swim. Going by this analogy, when you are in the business world you have to.....and when you are in the world of politics you have to............in order to continue to exist in that particular world.

WHAT IS TIME?
1. What is time? We are familiar with all these. My alarm clock would tell me the time to wake up in the morning. The watch on my wrist would tell me that I have just missed my train because I have got the wrong time. But the clocks and the watches can't be time. If they are, and when they cease to exist, time would also cease to exist. But this is absurd.
2. St Augustine says: What, then, is time? If no one asks me, I know; if I wish to explain to him who asks, I know not.
3. Some people would say that time is the movement of the planet earth. But there is also problem here. Planet earth is a body. And body has been shown to be nothing. Can nothing move?

WHAT IS BODY?
1. What is body? To the ordinary people this is a very simple question. Only an idiot would not know the answer! The abvious example of body is ...your body and my body...That simple.
2. But some philosophers seem not to know what is body. They would first want to know whether this thing 'body' is divisible or not. We would have to say it is divisible because that is the nature of body.
3. If it is divisible, then body is nothing. Because when you divide a body, you would get bodies, you further divide the bodies into bodies.....Finally you either get nothing or body. If body, still can be divided....
4. If body can become nothing, nothing can also become body. Can we believe this?

THE NEW MEDIA
1. The new media are becoming more popular because of the freedom that they are enjoying. It is generally believed that the traditional media do not enjoy the same amount of freedom as the new media.
2. The new media seem to play a very important role in the world of politics. Because of their relatively 'free' status, they are extremely popular with the 'opposition'.
3. The purpose is the same, whether it is traditional or new, to reach the mind of the object.
4. It is also believed by many that the new media is the battle ground that must be won in the world of politics.
