Crimes and more crimes are being committed and nowadays criminals are bolder and more daring and fully equipped with lethal weapons. They are not afraid to kill their victims and would do anything to get what they wanted and cover their tracks.

Victims are no longer just threatened, injured or restrained but killed if necessary. The latest incident in Pasir Putih, Kelantan involving a jeweler and his wife added to the collection of shocking crime news in the country.

They were chased by three masked man and shots were fired at them and one hit the wife on the shoulder causing her death.

Three masked men in a silver Proton Waja tried to block the couple’s Proton Waja. The men directed Zaidi, who was driving, to stop but he sped off.
The gunman at the back of the car opened fire twice but the shots did not hit the car.

“They chased the couple’s car and when it made a U-turn they fired another shot, which hit the woman,” Amir Hamzah said at the district police station.

Now, do you think that we are still safe? Read more about it at Jeweller’s wife shot dead during car chase.

In another news, Police in Kuala Lumpur have found five dead bodies in a single day. One of them, believed to be an Indonesian were found with slash wound on the neck, arm and head. Then a Myanmar national was found hanged in his room and police believed that he committed suicide.

At the same time, a decomposed body of an identified man was found near a river at Jalan Ipoh and finally a body of two brothers, one of them beheaded was found is Segambut Dalam. Read Five bodies in one day for details.

What is going on with all these crimes hitting the news on daily basis? Should people be allowed to carry guns for self defense now?

Now let’s talk about some odd and off beat news. The first one was about a freak accident that happened in Parit, Perak. A car driver knocked down two pedestrians and then panicked and drove straight away to the police station.

Upon arrival he was shocked to discover that the body of one of the victims are shucked on the roof of his car. Can you imagine that? Driving three kilometers with someone that he just killed (accidentally) stuck on the roof of his car. I would not be surprised that that guy would stop driving for a long time after this.

Read Shock for driver who hit dad, son for the full story.

The next one is about being stuck as well. A Malaysia that has been stuck in India for the past 31 years. This is the story of C.K. Ravindran and probably due to some red tapes or may be negligence by some party, this guy is stuck there in India as he did not get his passport renewed.

A consultant who was born in Malaysia says he has not been allowed to return to the country because authorities have failed to provide him with a new passport for the past 31 years.

I wonder who screwed up this one. Nothing is like home sweet home. Read about this mess at Malaysian in India can’t come home.

Last but not least, the Political stuffs. The battle between Utusan Melayu and Teresa Kok is not over yet as Pakatan Rakyat is now urging the Prime Minister to take action against the news daily. These people sure have nothing better to do and all the people involved should go back to kindergarten and learn how to solve problems amicably. What a waste of time.  Go to Pakatan wants action taken against Utusan if you are still interested.

Secondly and the last news for today, a Perak MCA youth delegate called for Umno Youth Deputy Chief, Khairy to be detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA). The funny thing is that from what I read, MCA is against ISA and now they wanted ISA to be used against someone.

This is an example how stupid arguments can make the news when they are politically motivated. These people need to go  back to kindergarten as well and join the above group… Go to ‘Detain Khairy under ISA’ if you have nothing better to read.

Poem of friendship: It is good to have blogging friends and the great things about this is that I do not know most of my blogging friends in person but that this the beauty of blogging. We can all be friends no matter who and where we are.

Imagine blogging without any friends. We will be reading our own postings and there is not much fun in doing that. In the end we would just give up blogging and thought that it was just a big waste of time.

Today, Kisahberuang.com received a great friendship poem from Bonoriau and here is the poem to share with you!

We need friends for many reasons,all throughout the season.
We need friends to comfort us when we are sad,and to have fun with us when we are glad.
We need friends to give us good advice.
We need someone we can count on,and treat us nice.
We need friends to remember us
one we have passed sharing memories that will always last.

Thanks to Bonoriau for tagging me with this meaningful friendship poem.

Pak Lah: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi would not defend his Umno post and that means the transition of power is taking shape. Infact, he said that he would only stay on as the Prime Minister until March 2009.

So the original plan to hand over the power to Najib by June 2010 is now scrapped and some people can now shut their mouths and stop filling up the daily news about it. Details at PM will not defend Umno post (Update 5).

Here is the press release from Pak Lah:

PRESS RELEASE FROM YAB PERDANA MENTERI

1. I have been in public service for over 45 years. I have served this country as a civil servant, and as an elected representative of the people. I have served as a member of government and feel blessed to serve in the highest office in the land. I have seen this country grow from a small, poor nation into the modern, prosperous Malaysia that we live in today.

2. Despite our successful track record, for the past few years I have firmly believed that our nation is standing at an historic crossroads. We must reform some elements of our nation, we must evolve and mature, or we risk losing all that we have gained in over 50 years. Throughout this time of reform and transformation, we Malaysians need to be united now more than ever before.

3. In all my years of service, I have always been guided by my conscience. I have always placed the interests of the nation above all else. It is with this in mind that I announce I will not stand for the Presidency of UMNO. I do not want a divided party and governing coalition, but one that is united and harmonious. A united Barisan Nasional is vital in order for the country to face the global challenges ahead and for Malaysia to become a fully developed nation, with prosperity and fairness for all.

4. My current term as President of UMNO ends in March next year. There are several initiatives I intend to see through before I leave office. These initiatives are important because they are necessary to move our country forward. These initiatives are needed to regain our country’s competitiveness. They are necessary to enable our nation and our society to face the challenges that the world has in store for us. I ask all Malaysians to unite and join me in working towards making Malaysia a better place.

5. First, our institutions need to be reformed and strengthened.

i) The judiciary needs to enhance its stature and credibility in the eyes of the public. Before I end my term, I will table a Parliamentary Bill to establish a Judicial Appointments Commission. Such a Commission will propose judicial appointments in a transparent and merit-based manner.

ii) We also need a strong and effective anti-corruption body that can combat the cancer of corruption without fear or favour. Before the end of the year, I will table a Parliamentary Bill to establish the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, with greater powers of investigation and enforcement. The Commission’s oversight structure has been modelled after the successful ICAC in Hong Kong.

iii) I also intend to complete the establishment of a Special Complaints Commission to enhance the integrity and effectiveness of enforcement agencies

6. Second, I have long spoken about the need to ensure that the fruits of growth are more equitably distributed. In the recent Budget, I explained the government’s commitment to strengthening and enlarging the Social Safety Net.

We will speed up work on this front to help poor and disadvantaged Malaysians, regardless of background, race or religion.

I will also work to ensure that tangible results can begin to be enjoyed in Iskandar, as well as the development corridor initiatives around the country.

7. Third, I would like to see the Government and Barisan renew their commitment towards building a united and harmonious nation.

Society has seen an alarming decline in inter-racial and inter-religious relations. Various issues have cropped up which threaten to tear the very fabric of Malaysian life.

We need to tackle these issues head-on, through dialogue; deal with the issues constructively and even-handedly; ensure greater clarity and certainty for the people; and focus on the points that unite us, rather than the points that divide us.

For this reason, I will convene a BN Convention early next year. This is a long-term effort that I hope to kick-start and continue to contribute towards.

I fully intend to see through my mission, and I am sure that my successor will carry on this agenda.

I want to hand over to my successor a Malaysia that is capable of weathering the challenges of a dangerous global economy, a Malaysia not of rich and poor, of young and old or of the city or the kampung (village), not of south and north, and not of one religion or another but of unity and harmony.

This is not the time for infighting and narrow politics but for greatness, unity and cooperation.

KLCI: It has gone down again yesterday! What now?
