Continue Reading Ch. 10 - 20

Reading about our idol shaped our life sometimes perhaps it needs a high discipline motivated. I hate being nothing where my life considered time at large and a big void of emptiness is expanding. As a worker I like to be motivated, granted list of jobs and sometimes typically being appreciated. Being seconded and run a small unit without a goal is almost to die without a cause. Sometimes we feel our digest ability is far better than our boss and that what we think when the boss has never gives a wise decision. I too never like being horse-ride by the people but I would most respect if those people is much knowledge and could guide me. As time so long for doing nothing continues reading the best rather being pissed off.

Chapter 10: Going to Medical College This is the utmost chapter I enjoyed reading where he’d being described enter the varsities and his medical-college times. He then justified that running a country is not just about debating in parliament but also curing social, economic and political disease. He also seems enjoyed ragging the juniors but never being sadistic and cross the line. I like his love story with Hasmah especially their date in Marine Parade where he had to loan $5 from Hasmah.

Chapter 11: An Alliance is Born: The history is back but this one is more on political set up before our independent day. Many names were mentioned like Rees Williams, Oliver Lyttleton, Sun Yat Sen and etc

Chapter 12: From Theory To Reality: The practice time to be a doctor and he didn’t have enough sleep. A good lesson I learn from here is most people tend to react strongly to anything they dislike, ad he said that this could annoys others and doesn’t achieve anything. MAHA is an acronym of Mahathir and Hasmah and not his name alone hence Hasmah never walks to the clinic. The funny thing about being a doctor is most of people they came into contact were sick and some were dying or died during treatment.

Chapter 13: The Tunku Makes a Proposal: The father of Independent proposed for a freedom nation being highlighted in this chapter. He said that Catholics were unacceptable to be the president of US and they only accept WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestants) - not a rock band’s name

Chapter 14: The Bitter Thrill of Politics He lost in 1969 in the GE to PAS weak candidate because of being too Malay in his speech. He also added that he never has a friendship with LKY only civil relationship but he stress that the LKY strongly wants to be a Malaysian Prime Minister.

Chapter 15 Expelled: He‘d being expelled because of the letter accused TAR doing nothing in handling May 13 rather than play poker all the time. Woo…woo!!...

Chapter 16 Inter Political Wilderness: In those days he seems a bit aggressive and rebel as he believes that putting neck out on believing something. But few people do that and they tend to play safe. He then described that of all his children, Marina is a lot like him, stubborn and argumentative. He also said he can claim to be the first Malay property developer in the country which something that most people don’t know about this.

Chapter 17: An outsider’s Lament: He is an outsider of the ruling party at this time.

Chapter 18 The Malays Dilemma: The book that hit him and he justified why wrote the book.
Chapter 19 UMNo Open its Doors: He backed on stage and he a lot praised TARazak. Few Umno leaders seem doesn’t like him backed like Syed Jaafar Albar . He saw most urban Malays so grieve because they have not made the necessary adjustments. He then commented about buying the latest technologies made no sense of producing small market and sounds admitting something hidden mistake.

Chapter 20 Into the Deep End: He added here that Malay culture notably middle class and urban Malay has become individualistic, competitive, egoistic and materialistic now. Of all, he admires TARzak a lot in administering the government. He again stressed why English is important nowadays. A good story about a sore loser named Halim Arshad who never passed his English test and fighting to be exempted due to his social activities in the campus. He then was being kicked from ITM and actively in politics.

Outro: Oh..Thank God it’s Friday. They are still in the meeting, I guess. I flipped pieces of paper on my table and saw one my articles being commented..Haaaa.haa…The only English words that the person who comments my articles knew is “Okay and I Think”...This left me flabbergasted the criteria of selecting leader.
