It amuse me UMNO use Gerakan as proxy keep attacking Penang government CAT (credibility, Accountabality and Transparency) policies.

Gerakan people are lame,  it is so obvious why Penang government use the synonyms CAT. It is pretty obvious name calling, and Gerakan stupendously bring it out over and over.

Even a 5 years old can tell you,

CAT are mouse nemesis

and

CAT caught a mouse! .

We know “DOG” are cat nemesis, by fengsui, it is a good idea to use it…  Gerakan and BN should  create another synonyms slogan call “DOG” to counter Penang “CAT”.

Hmmm, it fit Gerakan and Machai image. ......

Hahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahaha.

Lim Guang Eng actually acting nice toward KTK on the CAT things

Not just the school, even the mainstream media keep reminding Malaysian to focus on the result, not the process.  And focusing on the process, and the goal for every civil society, AKA First world society.

In response to my previous blog : I don’t f*cking care total Olympic gold medals won by China , Foongpc make this comment

I don’t think this is limited to China. Still, despite all these I think China did a great job at training their athletes so it’s not really wrong to learn from them – learn the good stuffs and throw away the bad of course!

The core spirit of China “creating” athletes, are sheer brutality.  How do you “learn the good stuff” when the whole process are rotten?

Yes, China achieve their goals winning many gold medals, but how many people willing to care of the people fallen behind the scene?  People that are handicapped, falling sick because of excessive training,  dope abusing. And people that are dispatch and dispose because the training think they no longer fit, all in the name of national pride.

Now, don’t we familiar (oh wait, only people who care about human in the history)  with this? Nope, Malaysia  education refuse to tell you, a government can easily consume the people for evil course, with a “great goal”.  Hitler try to “unite” the Europe, not by the “slow negotiation process”, but using arm forces, that cause millions of people lose their life.

The human history keep telling us, the process are more important than the goal.  Furthermore, which one do you thing is more important goals?   Make the sport accessible and available to all the people for healthier living, or create few gold medalist?

If you well verse in Mandarin, subscribe the Chinese newspaper, you will see Bolehland mainstream media flood you with various countdown information about China Olympic preparation.

Alas, what the mainstream media refuse to tell you are PRICE behind each gold medals that won by China.

Yes, I mean price, not cost. Because the price pay for each medals involved more than just money, effort, flesh and even life.

Do you know that, to take as many gold medal in every international sport events,  China has spend billions annually to train  “elite” sport person.   “Elite” means, the sports are NEVER mean for the public, but went through a screening process, centralise training program that produce “star sportman/sportwoman” AKA. “China Sports factory”, or China sports machine as claim by Time Megazine.

When China nominate as the host for Summer Olympic 2008, China annual sport spending rose to US$ 714 millions (~RM 2.42 billions) . And cost for the sport facilities for Beijing Olympic 2008,  are estimated US$35 billions.

Money spending are just tip of the iceberg. To increase number of “successful” sportman/sportwoman in the long run, China start the athlete picking process from primary and secondary school children.  And potential candidates will send to close door training camp. In China, there is 3,000+  sports schools, and approximate 400,000 youth are involve in the trainining. The youngest are only 7-8 years old.

Time Magazine are told that those student are studying normal curriculum, while sport are secondary. But the journalist find no academic books.

And the reality, among 400,000 youth, few are able to success to the top.  80% who “graduate” or “resign” from the school, posses little literacy skill.  And some are wounded, handicapped or even paralyze during the training process.

Sports, has become the biggest bed of corruption breeding ground in China.  (If you recall RM200+ screw driver sold to Bolehland sport ministry)  Sports in China, become road to the riches for bureacrats who involve in the process.

Drugs abuse, are yet another popular instant solution promote by coaches. Some sport woman are even fed with male hormone pills. When the drug abuse problem exposed , China only secure 1 gold in swimming during 2000 Athen Summer Olympic. A huge contrast compare 14 golds in swiming in 1994 Rome Summer Olympic.

And some mother fucker Bolehalnd sport minister say he want to learn from China to produce gold medal winner.  KNNCCB!

北京国家体育馆， 称为“鸟巢” 的体育馆， 对中国官方来说， 是“独特， 具原创性“， 和过去没有关系。

可是事实上， “鸟巢”除了新, 真的和中国文化没有吗？

有些人就问了， “鸟巢” 和中国佛教史上， 那个鸟巢禅师有没有关联？  答的人就斩铁截钉的说， 那是鸟窠 （ke 拼音 ）禅师， 唐朝人， 不是鸟窠（chao 拼音)。

其实说的人根本没有认真的研究过， 鸟巢禅师的出处， 不是在于历史，而是文学上， 吴承恩（1504年－1582年）的《西游记》。第十九回 ： 云栈洞悟空收八戒  浮屠山玄奘受心经。

吴承恩是知道历史上的鸟窠禅师。 吴承恩借小说家语， 把鸟窠禅师改成鸟巢禅师， 用他来贯彻了整个故事的主干 。 而故事里头， 《摩诃般若波罗蜜多心经》，时不时出现。 而中国传统的十二生肖， 鼠、牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗、豬。 全都出现在《西游记》。 有人留意到没有狗，事实上是忽略了二郎神的啸天犬。

说北京国家体育馆称为 ”鸟巢” 太市井俗气的中国人，大概忘记了自己文化中的《西游记》，有这么一个鸟巢禅师， 有这么一部《心经》.  幸好中国没有硬硬把“鸟巢”定名为”燕窝“ 或”凤凰巢“。;)

Beijing national Stadium , colloquially as the “Bird’s Nest“,  in fact, are historically related to the famous literature, Journey to the west(author : Wu Cheng’En 1500–1582 ).  The key character that pin point the skeleton of the story, are a monk name “Zen Master Bird’s Nest”.

Inside the story Zen Master Bird’s Nest pass one of the most important Buddhist scripture, Heart Sutra to Xuánzàng .

Few chinese know their cultural literacture on the bird nest part. Luckily, China are yet to rename it to swallows’ nest .
