Okay, I'm pissed!

Allright! I am officially pissed off!

I've been watching the exchanges in Parliament and I've been pissed by what I've witnessed.

Number 1: The PSD Scholarship

When are our parliamentarians, government and leaders are going to realize that scholarships are an intellectual issue, an academic issue and not a political one? It is fairly simple that a six year old can understand it. You go to school, study, get all A's or a good result and you get a scholarship to further your studies. That's it. Please don't make this 55/45 or 66/34 percentage issue of race and religion! This is an academic issue! Which means if you qualify academically, you get the scholarship. And PSD must be transparent in the selection process (Not cryptically state extra curricular activities are the tipping point). Someone stated if you get 15 As, 'close eyes can give scholarship.' Please lah, do I look like I fell off the turnip truck yesterday? So many straight A students (Particularly non-malays) don't get PSD. I personally know a STPM straight A student who was rejected by PSD and instead was given offer to study forestry in Sabah! Duh??!! While less qualified and less academically accomplished (Read:STUPID) students were given PSD sponsorship!
Students from rich families, who can afford their education are given scholarship while many others are frozen out. So many times we see in the papers students who complain about being dismissed despite their stellar academic performance. Does this mean 11 to 13 years of education eventually boils down to the color of your skin?? Isn't equality a fundamental human right, afforded to all and denied to none?
Already many promising and potential students are missing out on a necessity, higher education, because of the 55/45 percentage of Bumiputeras and non-Bumis. Now they are suggesting that reduced it further to reflect the current population of 66/34. WTF??!! You see, the notion of a scholarship is simple, you do well in studies and you get scholarship. Brilliance does not come in different skin colors. Does this mean that lets say, a dumb person who cannot add 1 and 1 also can get scholarship based purely on his race? Come on la, the percentage ratio should not be there in the first place. Scholarship should be based on academic performance. Why the need for ratio and 'booked places'? You do well in studies, you get a scholarship. Simple. Students should strive to do well, spurred on by the promise of scholarship. Why do they have ratios? Does this mean certain students of certain race are not academically as good as the others and thus have to be spoonfed and babysitted by the govt?
When this nation stops judging by colour and religion and starts judging by merit and character, then I would be truly proud of my country.


Number 2: DNA

All the hoo-ha and hullabaloo about DNA has pissed me off.

"Does this mean he's guilty and scared of giving DNA?"
"No la, he afraid polis fix him"

Bla, bla, bla... A minister suggests Anwar has something to hide when he refused to give DNA. He insinuated guilt when suggesting Anwar should not be afraid if innocent. Police say they need new sample because 1998 was an old different case and this is a new case now.
PEOPLE!!!! There is no need to act like such dumb f**ks!! DNA does not change in 10 years! Police already have the DNA profile from the old case. All they need to do is use that profile to check against any DNA evidence they have in the new case. DNA does not change in 10 years nor will it change next year or the year after that. Why are the police acting so dumb? Or are they truly dumb? They already have the DNA record in their database, why do they insist on wanting new sample, giving lame excuses without any logical basis? ~~SIGH~~


Number 3: Police.

All this talk about police has erupted again. Policeman arrested for rape of 17 yr old girl, forcing her to perform oral sex. Police OCPD attempts to sodomize two of his juniors. Policeman lodges report against his superiors in Gemas, alleging he had been ripped off from the monthly bribe collection, being thrown bones while his superiors get the steak. In return, his superiors lodge a report saying the afore mentioned cop was stealing scrap metal from the station. A classic case of he did it, he did it!
What is going here??? The police are themselves allegedly doing what they are paid to prevent! Am I stupid or is the police force filled with so many holes that they are beginning to look like Swiss Cheese? All the hullabaloo about Anwar allegedly sodomizing Saiful and no one asking about the OCPD allegedly sodomizing his junior!

I'm losing faith in the police and I used to see the police as a band of brothers but now, I see them as a band of thieves!

~~~SIGH~~~ I need to go cool off...
