lions for lambs


i have now get to know why this movie...lions for lambs get high profile actress and actors to play their roles in the movie....proud to say they were academy award winners...meryl steep, tom cruise and robert redford as he is also the director of the movie...these stars are selected was understood by me is to strengthen persuasion among the general public...as there were different parties playing different roles...tom as mayor irving...is responsible in US's effort of their project of war on terrorism...irving was trying to justify the reason and excuse on why there is a need for US to fulfill and finish the war against terror...while meryl is playing the role of a senior journalist known as janin...who was writing mostly about irving...about US's effort in the war against terror...how janin had portrayed the news to the public of what exactly did US is doing to promote democracy in countries like ahghanistan and iraq...lastly...robert...he is peofessor who is teaching in a university....he had gone through the vietnam war...he had his views in the war against terror...on how he educate his students...on what is really the real picture that is happening to the world...here comes the synopsis...the story begins with the meeting between irving and janin where irving is giving janin an exclusive interview as a credit of what she had wrote previously about himself...as the interview session goes on...there is another operation was carrying out where soldiers were travelling to a place in order to take down the insurgents in ahghanistan...while another scene is robert counselling his student about his attitude of not attending classes...well...wanna know more about american politics...check out the movie at cinema nationawide,...

abolish one sen coin?

suddenly the domestic trade and consumer affairs ministry announced that the country will standardised the usage of one sen coin...saying that it will help the government to save a lot of money in producing one sen coin in the long run...by standardising it....but to me....i was thinking that the government is trying to earn money from the public...in another way...apart from paying taxes to them...by trading business...to earn our hard earned money...to me...we as consumers are always in the loosing party because we are the people who need to eat and live...by implementing this system which is to reduce the usage of one sen...i can't see any benefits to us as the public...here is the standardisation...one and two sens...don't need to pay...while three, four, six and seven sens will be counted as five sens....lastly eight and nine sens will be counted as ten sens...it make it sounds like fair and we as consumers sounds benefited....but who really know the situation?some of the supermarts..they will not borther to return one sen coins to consumers...assuming that the consumers do not want it...therefore...by implementing this standardisation...isn't it also much more encouraged the traders to monopoly the business...to me...this rounding up mechanism did not benefit the public at all....

datuk ramli named himself

two weeks ago anti corruption agency head ahmad said had given clues to the public though the media where there will be something big occured by the following week...and guessed what...aca is going to press charges to one of the high ranking police officer allegedly to have owned money beyond the finance of his salary...some english dailies had reported the news by naming the involvement of a high ranking police officer but had never revealed its identity...but out of the sudden...datuk ramli who is Commercial Crimes Investigation Department director had suddenly stood out and announced that he is the high ranking officer who was alleged to have possed money of 25 million which was beyond the earning of his post as the department director...not only he had admitted but he had also accused that aca was being unfair to him..that is they have released the information to the media that he had been charged for the charges...although the papers didn't name him...seriously...i just don't know what is the purpose for him to do so...is it some kind of sacrification for the coming general election which it showed that the government is really doing something to combat corruption?is datuk ramli's move under the direction of the executive?what is the real motive behind it?seriously i don't think it is that neutral that it is just about admitting the charges and faced it...it will not be that simple...

umno general assembly

well...it can be said as a one year aftermath of terrified umno general assembly where last year it had given much fear to the society of non-malays when hishammudin hussein suddenly raised up the malay keris which to non-malays it symbolised power and the emphasis of the special rights of malay people...as well as making controversial remarks which had reflected their eagerness of maintaining their status and special rights...hence...this year which is highly possible that the general election is going to be held by end of this year or early next year..our prime minister and deputy prime minister had kept reminding the delegates to control their emotions and be extra alert and aware of the real situation while they are making remarks during the general assembly...and the prime minister had strongly advise that racist remarks are to be prohibited and one factor that had contributed to last year lost of control of the going assembly was because of the live telecast that had been provided by astro which had caused serious disturbance to the people...therefore there will be no more live telecast provided by any of the tv stations...the deputy prime minister had also urged delegates to discuss topics that were related to all the people and not only about race or other things else...looks like this year will be a safe general assembly i suppose?as what the pm and dpm had voiced out their concerns over the general assembly..but still...let's see whether there will be some climax towards the end of the assembly because we will never know....
