Who I am going to kill?

(The “softest” response to the idiots on the road. Image source: http://www.theage.com.au)

I wrote and talked about this more than once (here, here, here and I am sure many more in future)…

I was “cruising” in the middle of the 3 lane highway along LDP last night. I was tired and just wanted to reach home for dinner and a good sleep. In front and on my left (the slow lane), I noticed a car and right at the back of the car, a motorcyclist with a pillion rider. On my right, 3 fast cars (so no place for me to cut in here) and right in front of me, on the middle lane, almost empty.

Just when I was about to pass the motorcyclist on my left, the motorcyclist suddenly cut into my lane – no warning whatsoever, no indications, hell he did not even looked to his right. The fucker just moved to the right, oblivious to the traffic.

Now at this moment, my mind is telling me – just ram this bloody idiot  – you will get away with it but my foot “unknowingly” slammed on the brakes. I missed the idiot by inches. Damn, I need to train my foot to listen to my mind more often. I “horn-ed” the motorcyclist but all I got was an angry look from this idiot – the “you don’t fuck with me” look.

Looking at the way this idiot responded to my warning, the more I regret not knocking this idiot down. Perhaps he would be better off crippled for rest of his life, hooked to some life supporting system and be off the roads – for the safety of the rest of the motorist.

What pissed me off even more is that this idiot did not give a damn to the  safety of his pillion rider. He put this person in danger with his reckless riding. And if he is to lose his life or limbs, that’s fair (very fair) but why pull another into the same sack?

I don’t know when and how I am doing to die but almost certainly, I have a feeling that I am going to kill a stupid, reckless motorcyclist one of these days. I just have a strong feeling about it.

MIC: Free Hindraf 5

Ya, why not? When Malaysians in general are condemning the blatant use of ISA, one might as well join in the bandwagon, right?

From theStar

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has agreed to consider the MIC’s appeal to release five Hindraf leaders detained under the ISA, said party president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.

It’s good that MIC is “actively” pursuing the release of the Hindraf 5. Hindraf 5 and many others castrated under ISA should not be held without trials in the first place. But agreed to consider does not mean agreed to release. So, whether Pak Lah will entertain Samy Vellu or not, it is yet to be seen.

When Hindraf first started their campaign, it was not a secret that MIC was all up against the movement. So, after the leaders were held up under ISA, MIC did not make any clear objection the use of ISA on the Hindraf 5. But all that changed in the last general election. Now Samy & MIC are actively pursuing the release of the Hindraf 5.

Sincerity of such endeavor however is now questioned. From Malaysiakini:-

The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) has challenged the MIC president to show guts by seeking the forgiveness of Indian Malaysians before pursuing the release of the detained Hindraf 5

Please read Hindraf’s statement on Samy Vellu’s pursuit for the freedom of the Hindraf 5 – it is rightfully worded as “Samy Velu – they no longer pose danger to the country, HINDRAF insists they never were a danger in the first place”

While HINDRAF welcomes Dato Samy Velu’s initiative to speak to the PM on their release we insist that he should openly admit and apologize to Malaysian Indians for justifying the arrests of the 4 lawyers last December 13th.

The confidence of the Malaysian Indians could only be regained if Dato Samy Velu apologizes in a gentleman manner to the Indian community for his errors and statements last December and I am certain the Indian community would forgive him.

So, will Samy apologise? Will Pak Lah “accede” to the request and free the Hindraf 5? What ever it is – whether MIC is sincere this time or now, what MIC’s Murugesan said in his blog makes more sense:-

Malaysian Indians should stop questioning each others’ motive and concentrate on securing the release of ISA detainees.

Why should Indians bicker about who is having what agenda while the detainees rot in prison?

Let’s get them out of Kamunting first!

Murugesan is spot-on on this one – get ISA detainees (Hindraf, RPK and others) out first and given the fair trial that they have been denied till now.
