Saya Sedia Keluar PKR: Manikavasagam

Sinar Harian @ Selangor& Kuala Lumpur
Rabu 24 Disember 2008

saya-sedia-keluar-pkr1

Shah Alam- Ahli Parlimen Kapar, S. Manikavasagam , semalam menegaskan beliau sudah bersedia untuk meninggalkan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) kerana kesal dengan sikap sesetengah pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat (PR) Selangor yang cuai menjaga kepentingan Rakyat.

Kata beliau, keputusan tersebut terpaksa dilakukan selepas merasakan kesepakatan dalam kalangan pemimpin PR kini semakin rapuh malah sesetengah mereka berlagak sombong dan enggan berbincang mencari penyelesaian terhadap permasalahan yang diketengahkan.

” Kalau ada desakan mahu saya keluar dari PKR, saya kini memang sudah bersedia untuk melakukannya. Saya sudah letih berbalah dengan pemimpin Barisan Nasional sebelum ini dan kini dengan ‘adik-beradik’ sendiri pula (sesetengah pemimpin PR) yang tidak mahu mendengar luahan rakyat”.

” Saya penat dengan kerenah sesetengah pemimpin yang sombong, enggan berbincang dan tidak pernah turun padang mendengar suara rakyat seperti bantahan ini (Klang Sentral) ,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian ditemui selepas menyerahkan memorandum kepada Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim merayu mengekalkan Hentian Bas dan Kereta Sewa Klang Utara dari dipindahkan ke lokasi baru, Klang Sentral , di pejabat menteri besar itu semalam.

Menurut Manikavasagam, keputusan keluar PKR itu dirasakan jalan terbaik yang diketengahkannya tidak mendapat perhatian malah diperlekehkan.

Malah, beliau juga kesal dengan sikap Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Sungai Pinah, Teng Chang Khim yang didakwa menuduhnya berlagak sebagai pembangkang dan pembohong selepas terlibat dalam isu bantahan Klang Sentral.

Katanya, apa yang diketengahkan itu adalah himpunan bantahan rakyat terdiri golongan perniaga, pengusaha bas dan pengguna yang ‘terbeban’ dengan kerugian yang bakal mereka alami ekoran pemindahan tersebut.

MANIKAVASAGAM TIDAK AKAN SERTAI PARTI LAIN

Saya tidak mahu rakyat melihat bantahan Klang Sentral ini menjadi perbalahan bersifat peribadi antara saya dan Teng. Saya bersedia bertemu beliau bila-bila  masa dan di mana sekalipun menperjelaskan isu ini.

Saya minta beliau menghentikan tindakan membuat kenyataan media (terutama dalam Akhbar China) menyelar tindakan dan bantahan tersebut,” katanya.

Di tanya adakah beliau akan menyertai parti politik lain sekiranya keluar dari PKR, Manikavasagam berkata beliau selesa bergerak bebas dan tidak akan sertai parti lain.

Manikavasagam dikenali antara ahli Parlimen PKR yang lantang memperjuangkan nasib rakyat termasuk pernah mencabar menter besar membuat permohonan maaf secara terbuka ekoran kenyataan Abdul Khalid yang menganggap lawatan mangsa ribut di Klang dan Kapar ,1 September lalu sebagai membuang masa dan membazirkan wang.

Sementara itu, pada sidang media sebelumnya, Manikavasagam berharap memorandum rayuannya berhubung isu Klang Sentral itu deberi perhatian sewajarnya oleh Kerajaan Negeri.

” Saya mencadangkan terminal dan perhentian kereta sewa tersebut dikekalkan bagi menjamin keselesaan pengguna dan peniaga di sekitar terminal terbabit dan menjadikan Klang Sentral sebagai terminal utama bagi kedua-dua sistem pengangkutan tersebut, sekaligus mewujudkan peluang pembangunan dan perniagaan di Meru.”

” Saya juga mahu Kerajaan Negeri mengadakan perbincangan dengan Kerajaan Pusat dan SPAZ  Sdn Bhd bagi mempercepatkan kerja pembinaan naik taraf (jalan persekutuan) di Klang termasuk beroperasi 24 jam bagi mengurangkan kesesakan,” Katanya.

Katanya, pendapatan lebih 1500 peniagan kecial dan penjaja bakal terjejas sekiranya pemindahan yang dijadualkan 29 Disember itu diteruskan.

Memorandum tersebut diserahkan oleh Manikavasagam bersama Wakil Jawatankuasa Bertindak Pembantahan Pemindahan Terminal Bas Klang Utara kepada Setiausaha Politik menteri Besar, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad jam 1130 pagi semalam.

Untuk rekod, bantahan pemindahan Terminal Bas Klang Utara yang berusia 50tahun (yang) baru sahaja di naik taraf itu digerakkan pelbagai pihak sejak 2004 lalu.

Over at Eurogamer, there is a sort spankin’ newborn advertisement of TellTale’s newborn mettlesome Wallace and Gromit, which is supported on the English adventures of a Negro and his dog. A canid that is artefact smarter than the man!

In the preview, Eurogamer talks a lowercase taste most what we’ll wait from the mettlesome and how awing it module be. And how it won’t be most actuation intense guys and blowing clog up! Which is pretty such on par with the rest of TellTale’s games.

If you’re a follower of insurrectionist and Gromit, analyse discover the preview. And if you’re not, maybe you should watch whatever of the movies. That canid is so freaking awesome.

不要让受害者独自舔舐伤口

华教运动泰斗陆庭瑜卷入性骚扰丑闻后,许多人表达了看法。

有人认为陆庭瑜的行为只是习惯性的,并没有恶意;有人说那只是一种热情的表现、一个爸爸对女儿的亲切举动;也有专家解释那可能是一种老人惯有的行为,也可能是一种精神病症状。

媒体——平面的、网络的——也尽量只刊载华社领袖或评论人为陆庭瑜说话的言论。

很多人都在为陆庭瑜的行为提出解释;只是,在议论纷纷的喧闹中,没有多少人愿意进一步聆听受害者的声音,愿意深一层了解受害者的感受。

陆庭瑜对华教的血泪付出,没有任何人可以质疑或否定。这次事件,也没有任何人想过,或希望会发生。

当然,也没有人去责怪揭发事件的受害者。

只是,在人们对陆庭瑜的声声惋惜中,在人们想尽一切说法去为陆庭瑜辩护或解释时,我们有没有想过,这对受害者其实是不是一种二度伤害?我们有没有考虑过受害者的感受?

“我揭发这件事,是做错了吗?我都忍耐那么久了,为什么就不能再忍下去?”

我希望受害者们不会有这种想法。我也希望会有人在她们身边鼓励和安慰她们,不要让她们独自舔舐伤口。

不,我们的社会,不应该让受害者为她们的痛苦经历承受更多压力、受到二度伤害。

《独立新闻在线》在面对一则涉及拥有神人般地位的华社精神领袖的事件,依然秉持媒体独立自主、追根究底的专业态度,率先跟进并报导了有关新闻,我给他们第一个掌声。

陆庭瑜在事件被揭发后,不狡辩不反击不逃避,负责任的作出毫无保留的道歉并引咎辞职,我给他第二个掌声。

至于受害者们,我的掌声无法为她们弥补什么,我只能希望她们早日走出阴影,迎接从来都更灿烂的明天。

Qualification or Passion?

This morning I woke up to a call from a respected ex-co-worker who’ve always treated me nicely. In a sleepy tone, I asked what I can do for him?

Do you want to work at E* ?

We’re always that direct. He briefed me about the job scope and told me he needed 20 engineers with roughly 3 years experience. It’ll be a year contract and/or 3 months extension. Just perfect for someone who wants a little bit of this and that.

Personally, I’m tempted. But it comes with a HEAVY price, stall my passion.

To weigh this, let’s do some reality check. (more…)

Crumper Loo Roll: Field Test

So I never planned on opening—much less using—the Crumpler Loo Roll, which is basically toilet paper enjoying the same marketing that supports Crumpler’s pricey bags. But nature really did call just before I was about to attend a wedding, and I was thankful I kept the roll in my car.

So, check it out: pics of me using the Crumpler Loo Roll (click on a thumbnail to see the full-size version):


The outer packaging


Ready for use (tore off the first square, which was glued to the rest of the roll just like on any other toilet paper roll)


Amazing! The pattern stays intact even when wet! (Second round of wiping and before the second flush cycle)

I don’t know how they did it, but Crumpler was able to create what’s easily the best roll of toilet paper I’ve used (at least, for that purpose). While strong enough not to break despite vigorous wiping, the Loo Roll still felt soft. A perfect balance of firmness and pliability in other words.

Now Google AdSense Splits Western Union Payments!

Google AdSense blog announced a good news for AdSense publishers whose payment exceeds the maximum western union payment amount. Now, Google AdSense will divide up the amounts and send multiple Western Union payments.

OK, this might not interest every AdSense publishers, but it is a good news for AdSense publishers who were not able to receive AdSense payment via Western Union due to the payment exceeds the maximum Western Union payment amount in our countries.

For Malaysia, the maximum Western Union payment amount is USD$2800.

My AdSense payment exceeded the maximum amount and I received AdSense cheque by DHL Express Mail, which cost ME USD$24 for the delivery.

Google AdSense Cheque delivered by DHL

I had updated my payment method back to “check” wait for several weeks for my handsome AdSense check. Then, the check would take a month to be cleared by the local bank…

I miss Western Union payment method so much!

With the new Western Union payment update, I have switched back to Western Union payment method because, if your payment exceeds the maximum payment amount, Google AdSense will split the payment and send multiple Western Union payments to you.

If you’re sent multiple Western Union payments, you’ll see multiple ‘Payment issued’ lines on your Payment history page, each with the corresponding MTCN associated with it.

Now, AdSense publishers like me can switch back to the FAST and FREE Western Union payment method!

Muacks! I love Google AdSense! :D

(Too bad, my Google AdSense’s December 2008 payment has been issued as “check”…)

Burned a BIG hole in My Pocket

This is totally out of my calculation. I didn’t expect to spend so much this month! I have almost spent all the cash in my primary bank account!

I had swiped RM9,324.78 out of RM10,000 credit line of my credit card in December 2008! New record!

How did I spend the money?

I went to Kuala Lumpur for the PIKOM PC Fair 2008 (III) and stayed for 7 days. Some money was spent on meals, clothes, and gifts.

I helped my brother bought a netbook, ASUS Eee PC 1000H (~RM1900) at the PC Fair.

And, I bought Canon EOS 450D kits (RM2400, cash) + Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM lens (RM3900, credit card) at Sungei Wang.

honda city 2009

As soon as I back from KL, I signed and confirmed the purchase of the new Honda City 2009, which cost RM89,980. Plus, a special number plate — RM1,000. I decided to pay more on down payment and it is most of the cash in my primary bank account.

I got new camera, new car… what’s now?
“Now you have new camera and new car, you should have a new look too!”, my friend suggested to change my hairstyle. I have never changed it since I know how to comb my hair!

This is my new look.

This Sonny 2 zone guide is probably useless for those who are playing easy mode, perhaps  once more data has been collected in heroic difficulty, then it might be useful then.

The many faces of Dubai

[Warning: this post has crapload of photos that might take some time to load]

Spent the whole night yesterday revamping my blog layout. Finally made the move from the old template. A new look for a new year, I guess. Hope you guys liked its new look.

Anyway, more photos that I took from Dubai. By now, you might have some misconception that Dubai is this really huge extravagant city with new construction projects everyday, one colossal skyscraper threatening to outdo the other. I was curious about the place, I wanted to explore more. What is the real Dubai? Or rather, is there a different Dubai aside from the luxurious hotels, beautiful private beaches, huge malls I've seen during the first few days of the film festival?

Things were too pricey, that's why I asked some volunteers of the festival to recommend me places where I can buy the cheapest stuff in the city. He immediately suggested the Diera City Center, which is downtown. One day, after breakfast, dad and I decided to take a bus to Diera. The journey was nearly 45 minutes, and the further we moved away from Madinat Jumeirah, which was obviously an upscale area of the city, with its numerous grand hotels and the like, the more I saw a different face of Dubai. I call it different, and not ugly, nor poor, because that would be condescending. After all, areas like this have its charms, it's like comparing the Starhill area and Petaling Street.

Despite being a very common sight in Tokyo, I've only spotted one vending machine in Dubai. So it was important to take a photo of it too.

Ultimately, I realized I made a mistake when I asked the volunteer to recommend me a good place to buy cheap things. I should have rephrased my question, I wanted cheap SOUVENIRS, and Diera wasn't really a tourist spot. Clothes were sold at unbelievably cheap prices, but I was looking for T-shirts with the word 'Dubai' on it. No such luck!

Back in Madinat Jumeirah (translated as 'City of Jumeirah'), the place continued wowing me with its insane extravagance.

One day I decided to follow the other filmmakers, Richard Legaspi (from Philippines), Akjoltoy Bekbolotov (from Kyrgyzstan) and Adilkhan Yerzhanov (from Kazakhstan) to the Koubba Bar at Al Qasr hotel. One can choose to walk there from the film fest HQ, or even cooler, take the boat. Venice what?

The view from the Kouba Bar was pretty breathtaking.

Spending most of the time watching movies in the cinema during the festival, I think that was the one and only day when I got to see the sunset in Dubai.

I went back to Al Qasr later in the night to have dinner with dad, when I crossed the bridge, a man asked whether I want to let him take a photo of us standing at the beach, with the night scenery behind us. I politely declined, after all, I could just snap the photo myself despite having a much inferior camera (though it was still quite blurry...).

This is the Madinat Arena, the film festival headquarters. This is the place where most red carpet events and major screenings were held. Quite a grand sight. (note, two following photos were taken a night before we went off to Diera)

All right, the next posts will definitely be about the films I saw at the festival!

Seeing Tsui Hark and Brigitte Lin during my last day at the Dubai International Film Fest 2008!

Heya, I've already returned to Tokyo for two nights, but still, I think, a little jet laggy. Even so, that didn't stop me from immediately conducting audition sessions for my new film yesterday morning, and later today! (I'm such a workaholic!)

I'll post the photos from my last day at the Dubai Film Fest. But I'll still be posting many Dubai-related stuff in the next few days, like the numerous films I've seen etc.

Just to mirror the photos from my first day there, I'll start off with a photo of me and dad having breakfast.

Breakfast during the last day of Dubai Film Fest 2008


Dad was then visited by a pigeon.

When dad went off to get more food, another pigeon came over to eat from the crumbs on his plate. It was a John Woo moment.

Pigeons eating dad's food


Being the last day in the fest, we decided to take photos at places we had to say goodbye too. So we started at the Mall of Emirates, where most of the screenings were held in the multiplex. Dad went to see I WANT TO SEE, a Lebanon film with Catherine Deneuve that was also shown in TOKYO FILMEX. I saw the rest of the short films that were in the same programme as my Chicken Rice Mystery.

Night came, and we were on our way to the closing ceremony. This is the bus stop outside the hotel where festival guests usually wait for the shuttles to ferry them either to the mall, the festival HQ or other hotels.

After nearly an hour of bus ride, we ended up in the middle of the desert where the closing ceremony was held.

With the Japanese filmmakers Tsuki Inoue (short film "The Woman Who Is Beating The Earth") and Hajime Kadoi ("Vacation"). Few hours after the closing ceremony, we went back to Japan on the same flight. Tsuki had just finished her feature film and brought everything over to Dubai for editing, but of course, she never had the time to even touch her computer :D Kadoi, on the other hand, won a Special Jury Prize under the AsiaAfrica film category for VACATION.

This is Cem Oztüfekçi from Turkey, who did the short film, Downstairs. A year younger than I am, I think he was actually the youngest among all filmmakers in the AsiaAfrica short film category.

The closing ceremony was unsurprisingly grand.

And I went bonkers when I saw Kimmy's now-famous CHICKEN RICE MYSTERY photo on the big screen. As you can see, my hands were shaking verily when I took the photo.

Yu Guangyi's Survival Song, which had already won awards at this year's Seoul Cinema Digital Festival and Tokyo Filmex, also won another Special Jury Prize under the AsiaAfrica Documentary category. He asked me to hold the trophy with him:

"Your time will come soon." He said.

With Yu Guangyi (


I never had any expectations that Chicken Rice Mystery would win anything here, so I wasn't disappointed at all. I was already happy enough that the film was selected for this film fest and screened to public in a multiplex!

Here's a photo with the winner of Best AsiaAfrica Short Film award, Haolun Shu ("Young Blood"), along with his wife.

The ceremony ended with fireworks.

And a large feast that felt extremely extravagant because we were feasting under the clear night sky in the middle of the desert!

For me, the highlight of the closing ceremony came very early. As dad and I were walking into the venue, we saw Tsui Hark in front of us. He was there to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the festival. I wasn't surprised to see him, of course, but then my dad told me to turn around, and to my immense surprise, I saw screen legend Brigitte Lin!

Brigitte Lin of SWORDSMAN 2, ASHES OF TIME, CHUNGKING EXPRESS, DRAGON INN, PEKING OPERA BLUES, THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR!!

So excited I was that when I asked someone to take a photo for us, I didn't set up the flash for him. The photo ended up rather dark and blurry... :(

I decided not to repeat the same mistake when I took a photo with Tsui Hark.

Wooooooooh!

The CHICKEN RICE MYSTERY screenings at the Dubai International Film Fest

The screening for CHICKEN RICE MYSTERY was on the 13th and 14th. Evening on the first day, early afternoon on the second day. It's in competition under the AsiaAfrica Short Films category, and it was screened with 4 other short films of the same category.

Chicken Rice Mystery in the Dubai Film Fest catalogue


Aside from CHICKEN RICE MYSTERY, the other short films screened in the same programme were:

1) Ambulance, by Richard Legaspi of Philippines
2) Young Blood, by Haolun Shu of China
3) Everything Is Okay, by Akjoltoy Bekbolotov of Kyrgyzstan
4) Bakhytzhamal, by Adilkhan Yerzhanov of Kazakhstan

All directors were there to introduce the films, and then come back for the Q and A session after screening. Unfortunately, I only have photos of the first screening, and not the second. The following photos are from the Q and A session. Far left is Philip Cheah, programming consultant and moderator of the sessions. The first on the right was Haolun Shu, and then there's Richard standing beside me.

A photo of us having dinner after the screening. My dad was there too, of course. Dressed in red is Adilkhan Yerzhanov of Kazakhstan, in black is Akjoltoy Bekbolotov of Kyrgyzstan. Adilkhan is a major film buff who likes Johnnie To, Alexander Payne and Paul Thomas Anderson too. We have similar film tastes :D

Dinner after the screening


I had more questions to answer during my second day, where I was there to describe the creative process of the film, and also explain about the Malaysian Censorship in general to an audience member. I cheerily brought up the censorship issues faced by Flower In The Pocket, which I believe had been very helpful in encouraging the creativity of local filmmakers (in finding methods to avoid censors).

Overall, I have to say that this had been a fun experience. It's the first time I've ever seen my own directed film being screened in a multiplex, the sense of pride is a little different from, say, when I represented Ming Jin to present ELEPHANT AND THE SEA at its screening and Q and A session as producer during last year's Santiago Film Fest.

A few days later, dad and I had a conversation about Perth. It's only been two years since I've left the place, yet it felt so much longer. But then, maybe two years is a long time, it's just that two is such a small number, I should've just used '730 days' instead of '2 years' because it sounds longer. More than 730 days ago, my dad was also present during the screening of my student short film GIRL DISCONNECTED in my university. And now, more than 730 days later, I was given the privilege of having my short film screened at this Dubai Film Fest. It's almost as if we've gone full circle!

Photos from my first day at the Dubai International Film Festival 2008

Heya folks, been in Dubai since the 11th. Haven't had the time to go online until now. Saw lots of films, went through both screenings of CHICKEN RICE MYSTERY. So let me post some photos, I'll write more about my thoughts later.

Anyway, my dad came to Dubai too, and we're now staying at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, which is one hell of a hotel.

The view of Burj Al Arab's really great too.

I arrived early in the morning, around 5 am. So did my dad (I flew from Tokyo, he flew from Malaysia). Once we reached the hotel, we had breakfast at the restaurant by the beach.

The photos I took look like stuff you'll see in postcards.

I hung out with Chinese director Yu Guangyi, who made the much-acclaimed documentaries THE LAST LUMBERJACKS (it shared the Best Director and Jury Prize awards with THE ELEPHANT AND THE SEA at the Cinema Digital Seoul Film Fest last year) and SURVIVAL SONG (won the big one at the Cinema Digital Seoul Film Fest this year, KURUS was in competition too, but wasn't able to halt its dominance! Was also shown at Tokyo Filmex, where it won a Special Jury Prize)

ATI X550 Video Playback Spike

Well, one of chatters ask me how to solve a spiky video playback with ATI X550. Well, here is the solution:

  • press ALT+F2
  • type "gstreamer-properties"
  • Go to Video Tabs
  • Change Default Output Plugin Setting from AutoDetect to 'X Windows System(No Xv)'
Try play the video again and see if your playback still have spikes.
