The joke below came in my email this morning as I was also at the same time reading the Malaysiakini story on our dear DPM's comments on not sowing hatred during the run-up to election. How can things be better now when corruption (right from the ruling party downwards) is so rampant and racial and religious intolerance is so pervasive? And incompetent and racist Cabinet members and civil servants are in office serving their own selfish interests and greed?Hatred. Mr DPM.. was never sown by the rakyat. If at all it is UMNO's relentless effort to use the racial and religious cards to gain political mileage that has resulted in a very polarised community as the country celebrates its 50th Merdeka. The disbelieve amongst the various ethnic groups in this country is what UMNO alone has created. No one else. So.. be who's calling the kettle black.___________________________________________________Here's the communicate I got in my email...

Everything inside them is in alphabetical order."The fourth surgeon from Los Angeles chimes in. "You experience. I like Construction Workers. Those guys always understand when you undergo a few parts left over."But the fifth surgeon from Washington. D. C. shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. They undergo no guts no heart no balls no brains and no spine.
