点头和摇头

有两人对于美国与中国之间的科技的差异在攀谈。

甲：“中国有五千多年的历史，美国只有几百年的历史；但俩国的科技的差异很多。中国的科技落后美国几十年是不争的实事！”

乙：“是的，我想这也许是中国人与欧美人的阅读的动作，习气有关吧！”

甲：“吖！你的解释可把我弄糊涂了！与动作有关？”

乙：“ 看看我们的华文书本，报章，杂志等，华文的书写，文字的印刷可不是从上至下吗？这是否要读者不要有二想，阅读时要不时点头表示接受作者的看法或思想吗！？ 但你看外国的语文尤其是英文，它们的印刷是从左至右的。读者在阅读时不是左右摆动，好像不同意作者的论点和概念吗？”

甲：“你的解释真的有点意思！”

乙：“中国是礼仪之邦，看书时点头表示接受作者是礼貌，但这是故步自封，没求突破！美国人的求知欲望很强，看书不点头反而头部左右摆动不示要求证，要有佐证才行！”

甲：“最近，华文书本文字的印刷不是有改革了吗？不少的书本的文字可不是从左到右吗？”

乙：“这可就对了！有了改变丛点头到摇头，让中国最近几年有了很大的改变，与美国科技的差异也开始缩小了。”

甲：“是的，是的，看的不一定是对的，听的也不是一定正确的，读者，网民，选民不要一直点头接受所看，所听而要摇头否定后来求证啊！”

乙：“在政治领域也是一样，我国独立已近六十年，但许多选民尤其是爱上网的一族的思维还是不健全，思想保守，那是因为我们一有所闻，一有所看多会点头接受，不求证后才递传。所以，政客才会在我国继续有存在的空间。”

“绿化槟城”？

这颗树在槟城青年公园的停车场，没阻碍交通，但莫明其妙的被砍了！

政客啊！请你高抬贵手!

为了“拯救马来西亚”，两位在我国政坛享有所谓“德高望重”地位也具有的争论性的政客捐弃前嫌，携手合作为我国的未来而拼老命！一位是来直马来民族年龄九十一岁的前首相马哈迪医生，另一位却是来自华社的前国会反对党领袖年龄七十五岁的林吉祥。

这两位重量级的政治人物在政治背景，政治理念，民族和文化，是不同，是相对的；但今天他们会突然互相谅解，抛开成见相通地来为我国的前途打拼，他俩的举动应在我国的政坛掀起千堆雪万层浪！但他俩的结盟没让国民带来任何震撼和惊喜，反而给了人民惊讶迷惑；他俩的结盟没让我国人民制造美梦。反而带来了恶梦，让人民梦碎！

这俩位老人家都是问题人物，问题人物肯定不会带给人民方案而是问题；所以人民现在是梦醒而梦碎。马哈迪医生当首相掌权时，许多不利人民的政策蜂湧而出，引用内安法令关押义异份子，没公平对待华社，对华社的合理的要求当无理的乞求等等。今天，已不能再呼风唤雨，已不在高高在上的时候，来了一个急转弯乞求人民签名支持“拯救马来西亚”运动来拯救我国，捍卫我国的未来。所谓落叶知秋，谁不知他以“国家的未来”当标牌来转于人民的视线为他的孩子的未来，狗苟蝇营的搞“倒首相纳吉”举动的议程？

以炒作而非解决华社问题和华教问题的所谓政治英雄的林吉祥与前首相马哈迪医生的合作，简直是令人难于置信，让人大跌眼镜！一位是靠“打压”华社另一位却是靠“捍卫”华社在我国政坛撞出名声的人物如今能在一起合作，这也就意味着要不是以前两人的政治争论是一唱一和很有默契的在做戏给他们的民族看，要不是现在“回光返照”临老要为国为民作一点事！华人不很支持马哈迪的“倒首相纳吉”运动来拯救马来西亚，因为马哈迪没有为他在位时对华社的所作所为道歉，林吉祥也没坚持要马哈迪道歉谢罪！也就如此，林吉祥晚节不保，支持和拥护一位“华社的问题”人物！

林吉祥是位资深的政客。他强调和高谈“自由民主”，但本身却滥用和利用“自由民主”的程序来满足本身的利益；他多次败选而更换选区。在我国的政坛上，林吉祥创造了一个健力士的世界记录，至今他共竞选了六个国会议席如马六甲市区，八打灵再也，槟城丹绒，升旗山，怡保东区和现今的振林山，也竞选了七个州议席如雪兰莪沙登，马六甲的姑务，怡力，槟城的甘榜哥南区，巴當哥打，丹絨武雅州選區，植物園州選區。这个记录对林吉祥是功绩但对我国的“自由民主”的程序是个笑剧！ 两位政治立场不一样的重量级人物为了“拯救马来西亚”现在相互拥抱，立场也互相地逆转。人民，选民难做！我们真的要喊：“政客啊！政客啊！请你高抬贵手，放了我们吧！”

政客的嘴儿

由多名反对党国会议员包括行动党甲洞国会议员陈胜尧铙担任副主席组成的国会公共账目委员会所审查一个马来西亚发展有限公司（一马发展公司，1MDB）的財务与营运的报告已呈上国会。该报告书很明确的指出首相纳吉没有参与一马发展公司的决权运作；简单讲首相纳吉与所谓的离轨失策的运作的一马发展公司的毫无关系！虽然如此时间也过了不久，但是目前还是有许多的人民尤其是网民不能相信也不会接受首相纳吉真的是无辜，真的是与一马发展公司没有第一点牵连！首相纳吉还是如广东人所讲：“用水都难洗清。

为什么？认真讲这就是政治人物的操作与网络讯息的转播的效应的结果。通过政治人物的嘴巴，通过网络讯息的转播，许许多多尚未被证实的新闻和报道在日以继夜不停的循送下，人民就以假当真，这也是所谓的“谎言重复千次，万次就可真”；因为人人都是那么讲！更重要的是这些传言多出于有国，州议员的嘴，国，州议员的博落客,在一般人民的心中，他们都是属于可信的人物！一旦，有关传言被那些所谓有知名度的外国媒体转载报道，传言也因此变成事实了！

在迈入网际网络的时代，人民的日常活动有了改变。人民喜爱上网阅读讯息，与不知名的人士交友攀谈！无论是阅读网上讯息，还是上网交友攀谈，网民须有特别的敏感度和明察分析，网上的讯息不可在没证实,验证后就当真对待之而受骗。我国每年有不少的妇女因上网交友因太相信其网友的甜言蜜语而受骗损失好几百万令吉！ 政客是靠着他们的一张嘴儿而活；他们的成功就是迷惑群众让人民把他们所讲信以为真；这也是孙子兵法的策略：“让对方相信你受讲，当他们被迷惑时，你的胜利就不远了”

Whose lives are better now?

The Opposition shouted “ Change”. Yes, they wanted the Sarawakians to use their votes to change the Government by voting out the Barisan Government. However, this time, they failed and failed badly. They will try it again because “ change “ is an ideal weapon to convince the voters.

The slogan “ Change” has been used by the Opposition for ages as it is a psychological warfare and easy winning points for the campaigners during the election campaign. People like to change be they are rich or otherwise. People like to change be they are professional or otherwise. People like to change be they are illiterate or educated or otherwise. They want to change for the better.

After experiencing all the elections, have the voters really asked themselves who have or have been changed for the better? Of course, it is very obvious that the campaigners have themselves changed for the better even though they are not able to form the government. These campaigners either state assembly men or parliamentarians have enjoyed better lives with new houses and new cars, contrastively with a little or no change on the lives of the voters. This is what happened in Penang.

Therefore, it is quite clear that the opposition has been misleading and cheating the voters by shouting “ change” and using the slogan “ change” because at the end of the day, they gain much and most. In Penang where the opposition formed the Government, the people are suffering. The Penangites are now paying higher water rate, revised assessment, increased rate of parking fees with extended parking hours. Housing developers are building high priced apartments and houses without caring those from lower income group. The state assembly men enjoy higher monthly allowances and other revised benefits. These are the so-called “ change “ shouted by them.

With less than 2 years for the 14th General Election, slogan of ” change” surely will prevail . The emotions of the voters are easily played up during the election campaign and with lack of observation and analysis, the voters will once again vote in the campaigners solely on their slogans of “ change”.

Why was Adenan Satem popular?

The 11th Sarawak election was concluded with a landslide victory for the ruling party, Barisonal Nasional.

The opposition led by Democratic Action Party (DAP ) suffered shocking defeats. DAP only managed to win seven seats out of the 31 seats it contested in the 11th Sarawak elections, five seats short of the 12 seats it won in 2011.

Lim Kit Siang, a controversial politician, was quick to congratulate Sarawak Barisan Nasional Chairman, Tan Sri Adenan Satem on his landslide victory. Lim Guan Eng, the son of Lim Kit Siang and also the Secretary General of DAP as well as the Chief Minister of Penang also congratulated Tan Sri Adenan on the victory. However, Lim Guan Eng went further to elaborate that the landslide victory of the Barisan Nasional was because of the popularity of Tan Sri Adenan Satem.

If the readers are to go deeper into their analysis of the statement made by Lim Guan Eng it would mean the opposition lost because they were unpopular. Questions posed to the readers are what the reasons were the opposition unpopular to the voters. Had the purchase of the questionable low price of the bungalow by Lim Guan Eng made the opposition unpopular? Was the internal squabbles among the Pakatan Harapan made them unpopular? Were the controversies on Lim Kit Siang made him unpopular?

Whatever the issues are, one thing for sure, be it Lim Kit Siang or Lim Guan Eng, nobody would resign from DAP to take it as a sign of responsibility of the defeat. The father and son would divert the attention of their party members by other political issues.

The result of 11th Sarawak Election would be different only if Lim Guan Eng was brave enough to take leaves pending the investigation on the alleged underpriced purchase of his bungalow.

The voters just wanted to see Lim Guan Eng walk the talk when he had been asking others to resign or take leaves when there were investigation going on. The stubborn refusal to heed the advice of taking leaves by Lim Guan Eng had made the voters uncomfortable and perplexed. Wasn't it? The result of the 11th Sarawak Election provided the answer!!!

ADVERB OF PLACE

有学生问我: “Please, look at here!”。对？还是“Please, look here!”对？

Here, there 和 home 是地方性副词 (ADVERB OF PLACE ) 不是硬体性的构造 (PHSICAL CONTRUCTION )不用 in, at, on 和 to.

We go home. Home 是地方性副词 (ADVERB OF PLACE )

We go to our house. House 是硬体性的构造(PHSICAL CONSTRUCTION )需用上副词的 TO

同样的， 我们说 “Come here. ” 和 “ Go there.”我们不说“Come to here. ” 和 “ Go to there.” 因为 here 和 there 是地方性副词 (ADVERB OF PLACE )。

反而我们说“Come to my place.”，“Go to the park.” 我们用了“ to ”因为 “my place”，“ the park”是硬体性的构造(PHSICAL CONSTRUCTION )

但有时我们会听到：“ He kept all things at home.” I am at home today。”在这里，讲话的人是强调 “home”，

另者，在这里，home 可当为 house 的解释。其实，他也可说：“He kept all things home.”，“I am home today”。

无论如何，I am home He kept all his things home 是比较合文法的规范。
