Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

| Palatial Homes, its here too,and everywhere too.. |
| Friday, July 10, 2009 |
The media is abuzzed with the recent "discovery" of Khir Toyo's huge Balinese styled mansion in Shah Alam, Selangor. People in Selangor and KLlites are not amused that a former Mentri Besar (CM) could have the means and resources to acquire such wealth and cash to build a house reportedly worth 24 million ringgit.
Do we have to speculate further on how our politicians and civil servants becoming so rich? And, unashamedly flaunting their wealth for everyone else to see, as if nobody knows? With the wives displaying designer bags, wardrobes, watches...and their teenager kids driving ferrari to college...and they tell poeple that their mothers and fathers are running factories churning cash!!
In Kuching, look no farther. Its across the Sarawak River...all palatial homes...of the rich. And, the most ironic of it all...I dont see these people running any 150 years long businesses passed on from their grandfathers..and,thus the inheritances. Several of these people are known to me personally...I knew where they came from. They can never bullshit to me where their newly found wealth comes from.
This is Malaysia, and Sarawak, The Bolehland. Sadly, we are all part of the system, me included.
These people are mostly legislators and civil servants..wah...so rich..ah! |
