Model Malaysia - Pre Malaya

I enjoy biography,and most of my collection remain in dust are of autobiograpies.
The last auto bio I read was 'Bandit Queen'.The real life story of cult hillanders robbers cum if I may call Robin Hood of Rajastan finally turn a Member of Parliament.

Could it be such a situation happen in Malaysia?
After all it the peoples voice and majority wins or could it be a day day when 'Mak Nyah' of Bukit Bintang or a former GRO decides later in life decides to stand for election to be a member of Parliament.

I could imagine the headline reads out load......'No to Mak Nyah' we do have an integrity system in Parliament or the news would be written bold..........
'Jangan mencemarkan kehormatan Parliament kita dengan Kebebasan berparliament ala Barat'... or let say the Mak Nyah or the GRO insist and won the local election.We do have a remedy to it,its call 'Quo Warranto' an order by the court enforce that the person sitting in Public Office be it an MP,Local Councillor or any public servant unfit to hold the job,based on pettion.

Hang on,doesn't we are subject to rule of law and rule by law too?
If the Mak Nyah wins by majority doesn't he/she qualifies to be the MP?
After all he/she is capable as any other qualified MP's or assuming he/she is above average inteligent,witty and hard working and understood the problematic areas he/she has to assign to?

Or....... if I may think of an alernative answer.."IS A NO..NO...IN MALAYSIA'

Its mind boggeling to live in space of a first class infracture but a 3 class mentality society I suppose.

I posed a question to my 14 years old daughter, Nana, the other day,are we ready to have a women Prime Minister here?

.......the answer remains blank............

Lets hope that the RMC opens it door to girls for a start.
Even West Point Militery Acedemy has open it door to Womens Cadet,why don't we open RMC to girls or start a Royal Girls Militery College to compete with TKC?
They could turn to be a good Tun Ftimah I supposed or another Dang Annum cum militery strategies.

Or lets have the first Women Mayor For Wilayah Persekutuan for a start.

Thought provoking isn't it..............?

Good Man Rommel.



Up-Dates

Rommel Sidek passed away due to liver complication after going through major liver transplant operation at Beijing Specialist Hospital in October 2008.

May Allah have mercy on his soul.

Al-Fatiha.

==================

It was not long ago,I posted in this blog about a missing budding of mine,Rommel.As the name stand for Gen.Rommel,the German General known to historian as the charismatic General of the Northen Africa Nazi campaign.Rommel whom I know has that basic charismatic charm in him.

Rommel like me,enjoys a good laugh and life.
We both were part-time buskers at the Marble Arch Tube station.Yes,we were student but during summer hols instead of being ideal ,we rather polished our not so talented skill for the happy summer Londaners faces apart being able to purse a few quid for a 'Black Velvet' later in the day.A good guitarist Rommel is.We both enjoy occassionally jam session either at my flat at Dawson Place,Bayswater or in the Hyde Park particulary in summer.

He left for the State in 83' and has lost contact since,not until last Sunday.
I recieved a surprising SMS from Boe 'Rommel in ICU Ampang Putri'.
The whole Sunday morning I was bluesing with Bob Dylan and Neil Young tune.
Me and Boe rush to Ampang Putri ICU in the evening visiting hour.
I met a my buddy,basically grew up in London together,enjoys what London could offers us within reasons, laying in ICU fighting to live.
However,he is in a much better health now compare a few weeks ago.

Yes,Rommel was in the States all this while and doing well there and has been back since the past 6 months,after being spear-head to lead a leading techno corp.in town.

Well,all I can say,welcome home mate!
Cheers.....
Take care of your health.Go eazy man....
Keep in low and looking forward for a pool-side B-B-Q Jam session one on these fine day.
How lucky some guys are!!
