Welcome to PERVSPACE

DEAR TOM,

There's a lot of complaints recently that Myspace has turned into a pervert gathering especially from Malaysia. This is quite disturbing as Myspace could be the only place where us, the English speaking Malaysians, could find another English speaking Malaysians that is actually not a mix breed.

The most noticeable "trend" that have been going on is that of the Rempits (rempit is a term used here in Malaysia referring to those lower-than-a-monkey's-intelligence humans who is loud and obnoxious). Their profile are easily to be detected, they like to display their cheap ass bikes as their default picture and their profile name has their so called "crew" or "gang" name to it. These kind loves the stereotype- red cap, collar shirt, tight jeans, imitation boots, cheap helmets and a trademark stench from their body odor. You can't miss them when you come to Malaysia. They are everywhere. They are turning into our "Welcome to Malaysia" mascot instead of Jenny the Orang Utan upon the government approval. Poor her. She has been reduced to doing ads on tele.

Well, these people are giving your Myspace a bad reputation. They shamelessly speaking of nonsense-sexual-harassment on picture comments in which Japanese voyeurs would be ashamed of posting.  These people are mostly uneducated and the lowest lowlife ever existed in Malaysia, but they're acting like Hugh looking for the next playboy center-spread model.

But, if you do read this letter, and decided to take actions on these people, my advise to you is to be very careful. They are protected by the government. The government decided that being "them" is a part of our heritage and culture, and they even spend millions of tax payer's Ringgit for programs for these Rempits activities. Seems like sending students studying overseas are irrelevant compared to these heritage "preservers".

The government even decided that the largest contributors to the rise of crime rates in this country are the aliens that came in illegally. It seems that illegal racing, rape, snatch theft, drugs and disturbing the peace performed by these rempits are only minor "social problem performed by youth". Not to mention amateur-untalented phone porn. Not their fault also. They blame it to the technology. Amish.

So be very careful when tackling these rempits. You might have a run-ins with the state government.

And my hope is when they are gone, MAYBE the government and parliament would notice other stuff, like finally provide us with cheaper cable tv that doesn't impose extra charges when late payments are made.

Tom, I know you're not reading this, but if you do, help preserve Myspace the way it used to be. So that females wouldn't turn into lesbians, where it does occur a lot now in Myspace. That would be another issue.

Yours truly,

 Malaysian_whatgives.

Teh Tarik+Nasi Lemak every morning = Genius all day long.

The power of knowledge, in which not many Malaysian realise, is esential to spearhead our nation towards the vision we have been boasting for more than ten years now. A lot of us seeking for the pleasure of life, trying to extract money from corporate giants, which in return turns us into white-eyed slave zombie who turns the clock 360 degree without us realising it. 

When we look back and research the greatest geniuses ever roam the earth; Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michaelangelo to name the least, always refused to let themself to be sucked into "power,money,respect" accolades even a lot of people and organization tried to shower them with wealth beyond their deepest genius imagination. Sure, they accepted most of it but lurking in their powerful mind is what are they working on, giving priority to the advancement that none  could have figure out during the time, and thrust humanity into civilization that turns into what we have today. 

So, I call upon you, my fellow MALAYSIANS, let us search for what lies ahead in the sake of our future generation, our beloved nation, and not letting those corporate leeches suck you dry until none left of us. Remember, Allah created us all equal, none of us are stupid or slow to learn new things, as such idea is purely nonsense. May we one day have our own genius, which we would proud to call him or her, a Malaysian.

EURO 2008 Fever. Yes, Malaysia is actually located in Asia.

Well, EURO 2008 in Austria and Switzerland is alive and kicking with the Turks pulling up a habit of scoring in the dying minutes, the Italians with their old, playacting team and defending champion Greece being...err....Greeks.

This is the time of the year that everyone in Malaysia have been waiting for. Every 2 years (if you include the world cup) Malaysians who always chanted "WE LOVE BEING MALAYSIAN" will turn their patriotism up a notch by supporting countries they most probably never been to. Their patriotism towards their "adopted" countries are undivided, this can be seen by their willingness to brave the early hours going to mamaks to watch footie on the big screen ( which most of them are not actually BIG), endless reasons given to their bosses for coming to work late (e.g. my alarm went off suddenly, I'm getting that fixed, my neighbour double parked my car so I can't get out and stuff) and losing lots of money. Lots and lots of them.

Jerseys. Yeah. Go ask Al-Ikhsan people how much sale did they got from the sale of EURO team jerseys (England not included). And ask them again how much Malaysian stripe jersey did they manage to sell. 

"Apa itu kelab? Malaysia aa? Itu yang ada belang belang hitam kuning ka?"

Speaking of Malaysian jersey, I was so proud when I spotted Jason Lo donning Malaysia national jersey on tele. He's one Malaysian that really cares. Wait, he's Malaysian? Eh, what gives?

There's another trend that been going on among Malaysians when it comes to footie. Remember when Brazil was the world champion? How many people you can see AFTER the tournament walking around in Brazil jersey? Remember Thierry Henry and the invinsible Arsenal? Well, every Malaysian turning French then. Then came in the certain someone in the name of Abramovich. Wow, I didn't know Chelsea had this much supporter in Malaysia.

The trend of Malaysians is simple. Whoever winning, we will support. Malaysians hate to be on the loosing side. I did some interviews among some hard core supporters (riiiiiiiiiiiight) who they rooting for this year's EURO. Well, average answer: Dutch (yeah, they're in form), Germany (lucky bastards) and Spain (senor Torres and Villa). Oi, mana France? There's alot of their supporters when they won the world cup. Oh yeah, they're kicked out. Mana Portugal supporters from previous EURO? Owh, tak ada Figo tak shiok (dah tua). Mana England supporters? "England? Kami tengok Premier League saja. Team tak tengok".

Right.

I even got this one answer "ok, aku sokong Spain, tapi kalau diorang kalah aku sokong Belanda, kalau kalah jugak.................."

Wow, multi citizenship. I got to get one of those.

FAM, take note. The key word is W-I-N. Simple. W-I-N. No? Understand no English? Pakcik pakcik MENTERI, menang. Kita nak menang. Jangan membazir duit buat lawatan. Bayar gaji pemain. Bayar hutang maintenance stadium. Maybe from their tinted BMWs they can't see that our national team is a laughing stock of the world. Or maybe they just don't care. Eh, what gives?

So you see, we Malaysians are lucky. We are lucky enough to be blessed with the multi nationality community (Indons, Myanmars, Banglas and some other cricketing countries), but then we are even more blessed with the freedom to choose any other nationality for a period of one month in every two years.

Proud to be Malaysian (sometimes Brazilian, English, Dutch bla bla bla.....)
