We've all heard the same old same old But really, how much do we know about human rights? What are Human rights to be exact? Are they merely the rights encompassed under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? What are the consequences of insisting that Human Rights be abolished? What are the consequences of insisting that Human Rights be imposed each time?
It is easy to call for a full blown array of Human Rights to be enforced However, like everything under the sun, it is a grey area Where do you draw a line? Does anybody realise the consequences of allowing Human Rights to encompass each and every nook and cranny of our life?
Yes, never mind the drug baron was granted asylum despite the fact that he is a drug baron (Probably granted asylum due to Human Rights as well) The authorities can only watch helplessly as they are unable to do anything due to the so called "bars" of Human Rights This is the same guy is (most likely) financing one of the biggest drug traffickings in the country Best of all, after being acquitted of drug charges, he turns around to sue the government The irony of it all
Or what about Right to privacy? Think of this scenario The MI5 taps into the phone of a suspected terrorist (which is a breach of Art.8 ECHR btw) He then listens to elaborate plans of involving the bombing of a kindergarten Could the MI5 then charge into the hideout of the terrorist to arrest him?
Upon prosecution, What if the terrorists appeal for the phone conversation evidence to be thrown out due to improper acquisition of evidence due to breach of Article 8 of the ECHR? They walk away scot free and guess what? They won't be able to be to be tried for the same offence under Article 6 ECHR (Double Jeopardy rule) Damned if they do, Damned if they don't Caught between the rocks and the deep blue sea
Do you see how Human Rights can sometimes be a hindrance? It is no wonder that former Prime Minister Tony Blair was so adamant to see the HRA 1998 to be thrown out the window Is Human Rights imposing too much of a burden on the State?
Let's talk about the Internal Security Act in Malaysia then Tell me what is the purpose that people are calling for it's abolishment? Yes it is a draconian Act designed to combat the then communists in Malaya
But what else besides that? Was it because of the fact that it was used in Ops Lalang? If that is the case, the problem was with the usage NOT the law Is the ISA such a problematic law which only seeks to undermines human rights?
Take the case of Mas Selamat Without ISA, it would have been hard to have arrest him under the normal laws His charge just will not stick had it gone through the normal process He will just get away and end up injuring more people Think of the Ticking Time Bomb Scenario
When you give it more thought you will realise one thing; Most of the time, the problem does NOT lie with Law It is the actions of individuals which causes the most problem It is the exploitation by certain quarters which renders the law draconian
Human Rights law seeks to co-exist with such preventive laws such as the ISA and the ATCSA 2001 It is the wrongful usage that the Human Rights law seeks to prevent
Therefore when a case comes in with full hard evidence of plans to blow up a kindergarten, Perhaps it would be prudent for the courts to look at the case in its fullest context with all the facts involved Was the evidence obtained in such a perverse manner that it ought to have been thrown out?
In any case, Article 8 is a qualified right, which means that the State may interfere in certain circumstances When one looks at the Human Rights to see that not all rights are absolute That there are indeed certain rights which allows State interference (albeit with legitimate aims) Only certain rights such as the Right to Life are absolute in nature in the sense that they are non-derogable
The ISA is most certainly useful I'm not disputing that However, it can be a devastating weapon when used arbitrarily Think of that Nanyang Siang Pau Reporter who was arrested for her own safety Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? If that is the case, then ISA should arrest all the innocent people
Perhaps it is high time that Malaysia should adopt a law such as the HRA1998 A Human Rights legislation will do Malaysia good as this helps keeps certain quarters in check And the courts MUST be fearless in terms of applying the law
The solution is not to repeal the ISA The solution lies in adopting a human rights act Coupled with fearless application, the usage of that "draconian" law will automatically regulate itself
Remember Human Rights does not hinder, it seeks to co-exist as a check and balance to prevent arbitrary usage of the law
ps- I think I'm studying too much Human Rights a.t.m
Why are you here for? What are you doing here? What are your goals? What are your aims? What are your ideals? What is your priority?
Yes Remind yourself Stay on course Get back on track Les' you stray from the goals you have perceived
Step up your effort It is definitely not enough More and more Don't even think for a second you're fine Improve It's an ongoing process That's why you feel as if you had gone nowhere
I love the way they protect consumer rights in the UK So this post goes out to those retailers, sellers and whatever you are Thank you for putting consumers first I don't know how to get back to the Malaysian attitude when I get home You guys gave me a really good impression of the business attitude here Keep it up!
As for Malaysia.. You have much to learn.. But yet you are too thick headed to learn So screw yourself Consumer is power Consumer is and will always be right
Except of course for Joon Wye ._____. He is an irrational bastard lol
So I thought that I should do a Vlog today... wait. wait.. wait... wait.. wait.
Bah.. I still can't do it I just can't speak in front of the camera It's like talking to myself It sounds stupid =_= It also looks stupid What if my flatmates overhear me talking? They might think I'm some retard mental idiot V_V
So yeah... Till I can overcome that part No Vlog from me V_V B.t.w whenever I think of Vlog, I always think of Jake Sullivan in Avatar talking to himself on a mini Video Recorder If you watched Avatar you'd understand His first time talking to the recorder was like "w.t.f am I supposed to talk to this?" Yup that about sums it up
Why do I put random pictures in the middle of my posts? Beats me .____.
Anyhow, class has started It's sorta nice to have class starting again At least I don't feel like a bum sitting around doing nothing (Okay la, for the benefit of my parents in case they're reading this) It's not as if I haven't been doing anything during the holidays Apart from sleeping late and waking up late I've been reading and studying too =D
And ironically, I've found my new found strength to blog more often now =D (When class actually resumes) During the holidays I'm just too lazy
One more thing before I go Who invented the job interview form? I hope he dies horribly... Basket, even before the interview the form is a pain in the arse And I always thought that the interview is a pain in the arse Well.. Job interview Form #1 -> Job Interview #2
Anyhow, I know I'm not gonna get much response from this But, If I were to do a Vlog, What do you guys want me to talk about? *doubt I'll be getting any replies about this ._________.
Till then, This is Jake Sullivan Jozzeh Reporting
p/s-> I'm not hyper about Avatar.. What makes you think I'm hyper about Avatar?How many times did I mention "Avatar"? Avatar schmatar
There are times when I just feel like giving up But when you stop and just ponder for a second (in the toilet) Think about what you're doing it for Why are you doing it
And
Suddenly it becomes worthwhile And you find that energy to strive on
now to apply it in studies .___.
Okay.. No studies= no $$ = No Above .______________.
Everyday I read the online news All I see ill-governing of the country Yet why do I even bother? Why do I even care? I causing more anxiety by worrying about the country's future
Perhaps I'm a Malaysian through and through... At least for now.. I can't say the same for the future.. Yes I was born and bred here
But to those people who are in other country Having the time of their lives Calling people who thinks of leaving the country bad names Take a good hard look at yourself.. Where the FUCK are you? IF you're an armchair critic Please do us all a favor and STFU
I don't deny I gave lotsa thoughts to migrations At least I don't pretend to be patriotic You are a hypocrite for calling people cowards for wanting to leave this country This country has gone to the dogs.. We're sick of it.. Motherland or not.. Its going down.. And I'm not gonna let it take away my future, or my family's future for that matter
this post wasn't aimed at anybody in particular the writer just feels frustrated he reads that people overseas are calling people who migrated from Malaysia as cowards, unpatriotic and the such the writer lurches from the hypocrisy. period. Genting Trip Post Coming Soon
Why does so many good stuff creep up when I'm broke I was browsing LYN.net And there it was..
RM700 for: 1) Ibanez GRG170DX 2) Line 6 Spider III 3) Zoom G1X Pedals
k... I might not be a guitar pro But anything to do with Line 6 brand Its bound to be good no?
I mean.. Just look at the Line 6 pod, and Line 6 pod XT Live! Shit.. good stuff man.. And for those who know me They would know that I've been hunting around for a pedal Preferably the Boss DS-1 Distortion But its too pricey.. So been scouting for a 2nd hand one.. To date.. none..
See la.. With all that in mind Baby's birthday coming up Have to belanja mum lunch (belated mothers day lol) FML -_-
God.. Can I ask you why sometimes life is so unfair? If good people rich I'm still okay Why do I see some bastards being so frickin rich While good people suffer (kla.. I'm not suffering but still wtf right?)
Is it okay if I go out and buy 1 lottery Just one lottery... And you help me strike? -______- (Feels like I'm testing God)
Sigh... With ranting done.. I've just messaged that guy asking him how much for the pedal alone Hopefully it isn't too expensive... Choice between a pedal and a good amp.. Both also needed.. My current amp giving so much buzzing sounds That I feel like destroying it =s
I think I'm going to need a job.. Any recommendations? Minimum salary RM1000 And no I'm not over asking That's what I was paid in my last job
Either that Or can Nuffnag please give me some money? All I need to do is bare some boobs right? I mean.. we see lotsa sluts whore-ing their body away Albeit in a digitalized manner.. and getting rich
All one needs to do is unbutton 3 top buttons Pose sexily Wait for idiotic guys (guilty of the same) to visit my blog Ask them to click my ads Give them a flying kiss And let them wank themselves to heaven at my pictures?
Oh.. wait.. I'm not a girl But I mean seriously la.. Whats with girls who blog With more fucken pictures than words And most pictures are usually sexy and shit
Here I am.. Blogging some actual common sense Blogging on reviews Blogging on political views Yet.. Those bitches earns more than what I can actually dream off online Is that fair? Whatever happened to quality reading? What? People only read eh sorry I mean do people nowadays only look at sexy pictures and wank?
Sad la... But this how the cruel world works.. I've long stopped trying to understand it.. The rich gets richer.. The poor gets poorer The rich also gets poorer due to unintelligible management The poor MIGHT get richer by luck and 200% of hard work Is there any fairness in this?
A good example would be.. A rich man son.. Father being so rich, gave 10% of his wealth to his son to start a business.. The son will fool around with 5% of the wealth (cars, girls, lifestyle etc) He then proceeds to open a chain of franchise restaurant (Paparich, Old Town) At one corner of a busy street Expensive yes, Overheads high, yes But so what? His dad is rich And after 2-3 years, his business breaks through He gets richer
Compare to that of a poor man
No capital to start up business No money to gain education He goes no where He stays poor
Compare with a middle class man He has decent education Starts up a business via capital saved over 5 years of hard work He can only afford the shop lot next to the rich man... And couldn't afford to get a franchise licence Long run, he looses out to the rich man He just couldn't sustain the overheads He closes down shop Lost over 5 years worth of savings
Note: The rich man might not be particularly bright Who needs to when all you need to do is wait till your business gives you a profit All you need to do is outlast your opponent who are not as well to do as you
If you can still fail and loose your wealth as a rich man or his son You are stupid man...
sigh.. How did I get from guitar amps and pedals to this rant? 3am works funnily for me I do lots of critical thinking of life at 3am.. FML.. better to sleep right?
As I was going to post this.. Mothers' Day crept up So it is only right that I post these first =D
Dearest Mum, Happy Mothers Day! I might not have the money to buy you a nice Coach Bag Nor do I have the money to buy you a spanking new BMW
(K fine.. so this is not a BMW but w/e)
Or a house and a boat such as this
But from the bottom of my heart Happy Mothers' Day I love you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much (kla not that short.. can go on longer but waste space =D) Have faith in me I'll do my best for my exams =D
And here is my Mother~! (I could only get her a vintage bicycle and I shall call it Bicycle Mobile Water-resistant [BMW geddit? geddit?])
Sorry my PS skills sucks
Lotsa love from us!
Especially Dad!
(ooookaaaayy :rollseyes:)
=========================== That done... I was running through a couple of folders.. And I was shocked at how many types of Hairstyles I went through Okay nothing serious such as Mohawk or skin But man... from the day I left High School
This was me in High School
And for some reason.. It grew really long?
2007
Tried parting the other way
(okay.. shit I didn't know I had so many styles in 2007 -_-)
My first re-bonding
LoL- Testing head gear (failed)
And it kept growing and growing
(was asked to be model for someone -_-) *she needs to learn how to cover up bad skin = me fml T_T
Until! 2008
Ahaha this shit is hilarious
And then ... It grew longer again (I swore I told my high school teacher my hair is out of control) Nah here is the proof! KNS -_-
In 2009! (only got 1 lol.. others are too obscure.. can't see)
2010.. Stayed all the way this way Till =_= I got bored and sick of the fringe getting in the way I went and chopped it off
At first the hairstylist was like Are you sure? Not many students cut their fringe the way you want it to be cut And I told him Yeah screw it.. I've been there and done that Time for some normality
(It's longer now.. looks better than in the picture haha) Gonna do some cam-whoring after exams =D
I'm done with long hair =_= Too hard to maintain.. kinda like it short now Easier to style as well =D
Might leave it to the point in 2009 (Kinda like that style)
And I'm a die hard of Yan Ya Lun's hairstyle @_@
Damn yeng right? Initially I wanted this hairstyle But the fella helped me cut my fringe too short edy babi bangang lol
Wish me luck in the next hair cut.. maybe 3 months down the road lol
So yeah.... She said she "hates" me For what? . .. ... .... ..... ...... ..... .... ... .. .
For not replying her comments on Facebook
Okay.. When I become the president I shall ban Facebook ONCE and for ALL!
Facebook is an ultimate waste of time I'm telling you guys -_- Facebook is also an ultimate ruin-er of life Let me give you an example
You certainly do not want that do you?
Or what about this?
Now can you see how Facebook-ing can get out of hand?
What if the President of the United States wakes up one day Finds out that the President of Russia did not add him on Facebook? Maybe President Obama will say something like
"I'm gonna nuke Russia because the president did not add me on FB" Disaster! World War 3 started Facebook style!
And this Southpark Video confirms what I want to say
Sometimes... I feel... This world needs a little more hope This world needs more wishful thinking This world needs a little more love This world needs a little more peace This world yes.. and it's people
=========================
I was surprised today When one of my friends told me Back to reality For something as achievable as "Getting a scholarship to do my BAR program" "Getting RM4000 -Rm5000 starting pay cheque"
I mean.. What is there to come back to? Isn't that part of reality? If you don't dream How can you possibly achieve? By firstly having wishful thoughts You set out to draft out a target Having done that You plan how to achieve that target After planning, you execute that plan Upon execution, either you fail or you succeed.. But that's another matter
And no.. I'm not stating as you just talk the walk without walking the talk If you don't walk the talk Well, its as good as bullshit Coming back to this I start to question What happened to our human nature? Our very basic need to succeed? Where is that instinct that our forefathers once had That instinct which propels us Homo Sapiens to top the food chain How are we being ingrained to loose that instinct?
But if it were so, How then are there people like Stephen Hawking How was one, severely disabled by a motor neuron disease Able to be as successful as he is today? How is it that Lim Goh Tong Stood one fine evening on a balcony in Cameron Highland And envisioned a casino at the top of that hill Now known to us as Genting Highland? Sure you say those kind of things are rare Who am I?
No I'm not saying that I can be as successful as them (Although it is a nice wishful thought) I have no intention of being like them What I want is a comfortable life Able to put my children through a complete education Enough to allow my parents to lead a peaceful and quiet life That's all I ever wanted
How do you know for a fact? That I will not get a starting salary of RM4000? How do you know for a fact I won't be able to secure a scholarship for my BAR program? How do YOU know for a fact? Heck I might not even take the BAR! If someone were to offer me a good job with a good pay WHY should I take the BAR? Perhaps it is not I But you who needs to dream a little more Perhaps it could change your life!
My friend, Your will to succeed is too low I have my views and you have yours Let me work mine out And I'll tell you how I fare But even if I should fail I have no regrets I would have regret it more should I miss that opportunity
I finally now know what I want to say Rambles of line fail to defeat what Robert Frost has to say
Robert Frost The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
waits for respond.... * ** *** ** * No response wtf.
Anyway Yeah.. I noticed; If you're girl with good looks, good body, etc Can write English, Can understand English Does not look too "Ah Lian" Posts LOTS and LOTS of pictures of yourself on your blog Use those MANY MANY pictures of yourself for a Blog contest Does not matter if those pictures are irrelevant to the contest or not Just Upload many many pictures will do Extra points given if you show a little flesh You are like 99.99999% guaranteed to win a blog contest Unless of course you are beaten by someone else prettier, some one with a hotter body, better looks, more flesh etc
Oh extra points for being famous too Don't forget those PS!
This is why I more or less give up on participating in blog contests
New Goal: Ralph Lauren Polo Blue Target: Before End Of November T_T
Was walking in MidValley with Baby today And the moment I passed by and caught a whiff of this EDT I just knew right there and then I had to get it.. The smell just went through me like... Gah~ unexplainable.. Like it was made for me =p
When I turned around.. The salesperson gave me a sample... And from the smell.. I knew it wasn't the one 1 wanted And I told her I smelt something from that particular area And immediately she got me a sample off the bottle as shown above @_@ And bingo.. That was it @_@
Amazing how something hit us just there and then And how something could smell so wonderful @_@ And another Polo Tee by end of the year would be awesome =3
now to apply it in studies .___.
