Some countries some of you might like to migrate to

North Korea, where GST is unlikely to ever kick off
A world without GST. I count 38 countries and islands in this whole wide world which have not adopted the GST. The Chinese believe that's a lucky number, right? So if you really think Malaysia is beyond saving after April 2015, when the 6% GST kicks in, it's reasonable to expect you'd consider migrating to one of these destinations. If so, you have 17 months to get your  papers in order (don't forget to settle your taxes first). Good news is, the US of A is on the list but if you are, like Suaram, unhappy with President Barrack Obama for finding Malaysia to be so exemplary, you have Libya or North Korea to choose from. And China.
p.s. Met a war photographer from Eritrea when we attended this advanced journalism course in Cardiff in the summer of 93. His people had just come out of a civil war with Ethiopia (which now has GST, btw). This guy was having a tough time getting used to money. Back home, he told us, they were paid in kind -- food, clothes, living quarters, tobacco, etc. Things have not improved much since the. Some 2,000-3000 Eritreans flee their own country every month. Read UN rebukes Eritrea's "shoot to kill" policy.

Don't ban Ke$ha, Ban Suaram!

Posted: 27 Oct 2013 09:35 PM PDT



Blow our speakers, KJ. That's who the blogger OutSyed the Box has in mind when he asks, with regards to the banning of Ke$ha from holding a concert in Malaysia, "Where are the Melayu liberal?" Read Let's just ban all Western artistes from Malaysia. 
"This is addressed to the Melayu liberal. Where are all the Melayu liberal? The liberals said the conservatives have been defeated in the recent UMNO elections. OK - so where are the Melayu liberals? Another American pop singer has been banned from Malaysia - just one day before her concert. What do the liberals say?"
I'd like to see YB Khairy take up this cause. I won't guarantee OutSyed the Box will be an overnight fan of his, but ... who knows?
YB Nazri Aziz, the Tourism Minister, can also say something. In view of Malaysia Visit Year 2014 and Year of Festivals 2015, the government might want to get the moral police to sober up a bit. Otherwise, who wants to come here? Especially with the likes of people at Suaram telling the world how corrupt, violent and and full of religious extremists this country called Malaysia is. Read the NGO's letter to Barrack Obama in Suaram is a national threat.
