Why Is The Sabah Sulu Stand-Off Still Standing?

The Sabah Sulu Stand-off is still standing, two weeks down the road!

The only people who seem to be sitting are the authorities.

What they are waiting for is a mystery, because they won't let the newshounds to sniff out the rabbits.

Now, the Home minister says that they will leave it to the Foreign ministry.

But Malaysians are justifyingly wondering why a group of 100 armed men could hold up our security force for so long and why we are so helpless to do anything, except only to negotiate for the armed men to leave peacefully.

And why a group of armed men who are not here to kiss our ass are not considered a threat to the nation's security when a single unarmed man (and an MP to boot, foreign or not) with a smart phone name was.

If the best the authorities could do is sit and wait, and pass the buck around, when only a small group of men, armed or not, could hold our security force at bay for so long, what confidence do you expect Malaysians to repose on Ah Jib Kor's administration to keep the nation's sovereignty.

Or is there a prawn hidden beneath the rocks, to borrow the Malay idiom 'udang di sebalik batu'

Go figure that out.

Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder

Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
