Of cops, robbers and footballers

More headlines from the boys in blue. What happened? They let a nearly million dollar car get stolen... for a second time... after recovering it yesterday. The Porsche was originally stolen on Monday by a well dressed thief posing as a customer, but abandoned a few km away when the car ran out of fuel. So the cops recovered found the car and parked it in their compound... where it was stolen the day after, most likely by the same thief. If it wasn't bad enough that the cops lost the car on their beat... the car was now fueled. *slaps forehead* Duh!

And more ideas from our brilliant Senator Dr. Puad Zarkashi. How to motivate our pathetic national football team? Show them video clips of yesteryear's glories. That's like saying, "Hey Malaysia, you'll be able to win the World Cup just by watching the videos of Malaysian teams from years back (when we were still a force to be reckoned in Asia)". Oh yeah, and the reason for Dr. Puad's suggestion? The horrible showing by Malaysian in the Asian Cup football tournament, where the team was thrashed 1 - 5 by China and 0 - 5 by Uzbekistan, leaving Malaysia dead last in the tournament and effectively out. And to think Malaysia turned down Manchester United's Asian Tour for this crap performance. Bah.

How Malaysian.

The solution to the flood

Whatever will they think of next? Our oh-so-brilliant Malaysian members of parliament (in this case, a senator) have done it again. From previous inspired ideas like chastity belts to prevent rapes from occuring, we now have... relocation to prevent flooding from occuring!

This article in the Star quotes Senator Dr. Mohd Puad Zarkashi as saying, "Rather than spend billions on flood mitigation, which have yet to prove effective, why not relocate and rename the federal capital Ibu Kota Tanpa Lumpur (Capital City Without Mud)?"

Wouldn't it also incur cost to relocate the federal capital? Furthermore, relocating the capital doesn't solve the problem of the floods which will still continue to occur in KL. It's just a diversion to draw one's attention away from the flooding because then KL would no longer be the capital city and thus, conveniently ignored.

I call this... Just Being Malaysian.
