On the way to work this morning I encountered two police roadblocks. I normally leave the house around 7 am, so at that time the rush hour traffic hasn't really started yet so the traffic was not too bad.

One roadblock on the Federal Highway just after the Sunway/LDP bridge and the other just after the old KTM station in front of the big post office.

Sure - they think another rally is going to happen in KL today that's why they're setting up these roadblocks.

Were they inspecting the cars? Nope.

Were they looking out for potential rally-goers? Didn't really seem like it.

Did they cause a worse traffic jam on a weekday during morning rush hour? Yup. On many roads into KL even.

What did I see the police officers do at the Sunway roadblock? Chatting by the side of the road. C - H - A - T - T- I - N - G.

Holy crap.

Yesterday while I was having my lunch in Penang, a big group was sitting right beside our table chatting away.

These people were probably educated middle class Penangites around 30-50 years old and they were chatting away very loudly about everything under the sun.

What really caught my attention though was when they started talking about our government's recent comments about wanting to become a space nation.

I quote, "Our garmen (government) ah - now saying want to become a space nation ah... they all ah, Ploton (Proton) cars also cannot get right they want to become a space nation. How can???"

I nearly choked with laughter.

I think almost all the surrounding tables were hiding their laughter too.

Remember a while back, we had a bit of a hoo haa because it was discovered that our now confirmed Malaysian space traveller will be going up there to test "Teh Tarik" and play batu seremban in space?

In case you have forgotten, here's the link to the article that The Star should really take offline out of sheer shamefulness.

Well guess what, every Malaysian should have a reason to be even more upset now.

The NASA website has officially confirmed that WE the Malaysian public has been fed a whole bunch of cock and bull to date.

While every member of the space crew has a designated role and "Space Engineer" title, our Angkasawan is labeled a "Spaceflight Participant".

We have paid millions of tax-payer funds to send Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor up into space for the holiday of his lifetime. Wah, you dunno meh? Air Asia is not enough, MAS and SIA also cannot give this type of holiday. Where to find la this type of bullshit holiday?

Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor must be the luckiest Malaysian tourist in the 50 years history of our shameful BN-run country.

A lot of bullshit has been surfacing of late because of the infamous Lingam video scandal here in good old Boleh-land.

In case you haven't heard, this Lingam video clip is the new in-thing here in Boleh land because it puts our whole judiciary system to shame.

In another case of Boleh-stupidity, our good ol' politicians seem to have figured out that the best way of tackling the problem is to go after the person who brought it up. What better way to make sure the video is real right?

Why should we go after the fellows who are 'videotaped' doing dirty deeds? Why should we solve the problem that this video is highlighting? Ya why? Kenapa-lah? Just look for the fellow that shot the video la - problem solved.

For the last few days in the papers it has been the same, "Come out la brother/sister, you made the tape wat, we need you to expose yourself so we can do something".

But hey, that's not what made me almost gag on my breakfast bread, it's Nazri saying this in The Star today. Let's have the first three paragraphs from the paper for context sake.

"A new identity or even new look can be arranged for the person or persons who took the controversial video of a prominent lawyer allegedly brokering the appointment of judges, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz.

He said such measures were defined under the Witness Protection Act to ensure the person's identity was protected.

“Under the Act, they will not only be protected but can also undergo (plastic) surgery to change their look,” he told reporters after handing out duit raya and goodies to old folks in Lubuk Merbau here yesterday. "

Wait, I think I just heard someone say "HAAAaaarrrrrrrrrrrr??????".

Obviously our Nazri has been watching too many Mission Impossible and James Bond movies. Plastic surgery and change of identity in Malaysia??? HOLY CRAP!
