Sing to “Another Brick In the Wall” by Pink Floyd. I hope my re-written lyrics will do justice to this awesome and powerful song. I called it “Never A Threat To Us All.” Anyway, sing along and enjoy the beautiful guitar riffs at the end of the song.
Never A Threat To Us All (Another Brick In The Wall)
We don’t need no segregation
We don’t need no thought control
No fabrication, in the newsroom
Listen, leave them people alone
Hey! Listen! Let them people go
After all, they were, never a threat to us all
All in all, you’re just, another brick in the wall
We don’t need no Mahathirism
We don’t need no I.S.A
No tainted trials, in the courtroom
Listen, leave them people alone
Hey! Listen! Let them people go
After all, they were, never a threat to us all
All in all, it’s just, another brick in the wall
This is my version of YMCA by The Village People. I changed the lyrics a bit (hehe!!!) and called it, “Why I.S.A? ” by The Global Village People. Yes, we are the Global Village People. Click on the video, boost up the volume and sing! And dance if you need to! If you have any suggestion to change the lyrics, please do post at the comment.
And on the lighter-side, enjoy the video. I laughed when I see those guys (?), doing their steps. Like the part where the lead singer doing the marching movements and the rest doing the synchronized steps behind him. So corny! Anyway, it;s a fun song so just enjoy (Sorry, this video is no longer available - due to copyright. So I replaced it with this one with just the music. Anyway, all you need is the music to sing along))
The Global Village People would like to dedicate this remix-lyrics to RPK, The Hindraf Boys and all who are detained under the Internal Security Act. The nation is praying for you guys. And also praying for the abolishment of ISA.
Why I.S.A?
Rakyat, there’s no need to feel down.
I said, Rakyat, get yourself off the ground.
I said, Rakyat, ’cause we’re in a New Dawn
There’s a need, for-Re-for-ma-si
Anwar, there’s a place you can go.
Putra-jaya, let the red carpet roll
You can, stay there, and I’m sure you will find
Many ways, to-bring-those-chan-ges
Let’s put an end to this, Vile I.S.A.
We had enough of this, Vile I.S.A
It’s evil and cruel, a Machiavellian tool
They can do, what they feel
Hear the people cry, Why I.S.A?
In this land we loved, Why I.S.A?
You can set people free, Kamunting we don’t need
So Abolish - The ISA
Rakyat, are you listening to me?
I said, Rakyat, what do you want to be?
I said, Rakyat, you can make real your dreams
But you got, to-know-this-one-thing!
No man, does it all by himself.
I said, Rakyat, don’t put your rights on the shelf
And just stand up, against this draconian law
Let us free, Ma-lay-sia-to-day
Let’s put an end to this, Vile I.S.A.
We had enough of this, Vile I.S.A
It’s evil and cruel, a Machiavellian tool
They can do, what they feel
Hear the people cry, Why I.S.A?
In this land we loved, Why I.S.A?
You can set people free, Kamunting we don’t need
So Abolish - The ISA
Rakyat, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was, down and out with the Blue.
I felt no man, cared if I were alive.
I felt my whole-world-has-no-rights …
That’s when, someone came up to me,
And said, Yo! man, know and fight for what’s right
And just say no, to the Foul ISA
We don’t need, this-trash-to-feel-safe
Let’s put an end to this, Vile I.S.A.
We had enough of this, Vile I.S.A
It’s evil and cruel, a Machiavellian tool
They can do, what they feel
No I.S.A!
We had enough of it, No I.S.A!
Rakyat, Rakyat, are you listening to me?
Rakyat, Rakyat, let me hear you sing
No I.S.A!
Everybody sing, No I.S.A!
Rakyat, Rakyat, you can set yourself free
Rakyat, Rakyat, that’s how it’s gonna be
(Lyrics re-written By DanielYKL)

15th Aug - I remember seeing this cartoon by the famous cartoonist Lat (now a Dato’) It shows a man with his 2 sons, each holding a badminton racket, passing by a Proton car showroom. The car salesman invited him in to have a look at the Proton car. The man replied, “it’s ok, my sons are taking up badminton.”
The joke was at that time, badminton players who won any tournament were given a Proton car. Then later on they were also given a condo or house and also a piece of land.
But now, they are lured by a one million Ringgit carrot if they could win a gold medal in the Olympics. The carrot is getting more and more expensive these days. Could be due to the fuel price hike and the food price hike.
And looks like our shuttler Lee Chong Wei is the only hope for a medal and is not far from being a millionaire (or is he a millionaire already?) And probably a datukship to go with it. WILL HE MAKE IT?
UPDATED: 12.15am 16th Aug - So Lee Chong Wei made it to the final by beating South Korean Lee Hyun-il. He will meet China’s Lin Dan for gold, and if he wins he will be a millionaire. Well, even if he loses, he will still have 300K. But of course there is a vast difference. 700K diference!!! Let hope that he will make us proud by bagging the first Olympics’ gold ever for Malaysia.
UPDATED: 1.18am 18th Aug - It’s so sad for Malaysia’s No 1 shuttler Lee Chong Wei. Looks like the gold medal has eluded Malaysia again. I’m not a badminton fan and for that matter I would say I know very little about the game. But then from what I saw in the match between CW Lee and Lin Dan, Chong Wei was not much of a match to Lin Dan. I can see that Chong Wei made a lot of mistakes that cost him precious points. Chong Wei looks nervous.
I was at a mamak stall and the place was packed with people watching the match. Many just parked their bikes or cars on the roadside and stand there watching. It would be such a wonderful atmosphere if Chong Wei were to win the gold medal. Many left feeling disappointed and sad.
Anyway, I hope Chong Wei would lift his head high and be proud that he got the silver medal. He gave his best. We are proud of you, Lee Chong Wei. You tried and you did well.
It’s Sunday! Church day! Sabbath day! Rest day! Holiday! Family day! What is Sunday to you?
If you are reading this, then watch this video clip. Don’t be a ashame if it brings tears to your eyes. It only shows you are human. And do tell me how you feel. Enjoy!
LOVE KNOWS NO LIMITS AND TRUE FRIENDSHIP LAST A LIFETIME.
GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE TODAY
YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID!
Karpal Singh has warned Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his ministers not to volunteer unsolicited comments that may compromise police investigations into PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim’s alleged sodomy offence. The DAP chairperson said in a statement today that he was shocked by Pak Lah’s challenge to Anwar to prove his innocence in this controversial allegation by giving his DNA sample. “It is elementary that under our system of law, it is not the PM who considers the result of an investigation but the police who are required to put up investigation papers to the Attorney-General.
“It is wrong for the PM to publicly challenge Anwar to disprove the allegation of sodomy against him.
“The PM should hold his piece and not publicly direct and influence police investigation,” he said. Source Malaysiakini
Just because he is wheel-chair bound doesn’t mean he can be push-over. He may be physically handicapped but his principles are not. He will not be silent. He will speak the truth for justice without fear or prejudice. He did not recieve the name “The Tiger of Jelutong’ for nothing! Yes, he deserved to be in the elite company of The Brave One!
Roar Karpal Roar! The rakyat roars with you! The Eye of The Tiger is watching! “It’s the Eye of The Tiger, it’s the cream of the fight Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger.”
Eye Of The Tiger
Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
Chorus:
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the cream of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
Risin’ up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
Atlantuya, Lingamgate, March 8 Elections, SAPP, No-confidence motion against PM, Fuel price hike, Food price hike, Inflation, RPK’s Statutory Declaration against Rosmah, Sodomy allegation against Anwar, Balasubramaniam Statutory Declaration against Najib, Bala Disappearance, you blamed me, I blamed you, you accused me, I accused you, etc, and I’m sure there will be a lot more issues to come. There is no way bloggers can stop blogging with all these issues.
I thought I leave you this song Livn’ On A Prayer by Bon Jovi to encourage all of of us in these strange and uncertain times here in Malaysia. That’s all we got at this moment living on a prayer. Prayer that our nation will turn around and come back to it’s glory again. “Whooah, were half way there Livin on a prayer Take my hand and well make it - I swear Livin on a prayer”
Well, as for me I’ll be taking a short tiny break - but not a strike as some bloggers did! Will be back in a couple of days. We take our cars for services. We go for medical check-up. Well, my notebook needs a service and check up too. It will be resting for a couple days. Till then check the sites at my blogroll and enjoy the music and be encouraged.
Livin’ On A Prayer
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy (Thamby) used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike
He’s down on his luck…it’s tough, so tough
Gina (Gita) works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love
She says we’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
cause it doesn’t make a difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot
For love - well give it a shot
Chorus:
Whooah, we’re half way there
Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it - I swear
Livin’ on a prayer
Tommy’s (Thamby’s) got his six string in hock
Now he’s holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it’s tough
Gina (Gita) dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy (Thamby) whispers baby it’s okay, someday
We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
cause it doesn’t make a difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot
For love - well give it a shot
We’ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when its all that you’ve got
The fuel price hike, SAPP proposed vote of no-confidence against the Premier and the recent Statutory Declaration by RPK claiming that Rosmah, wife of Najib was at the murder scene of Atlantuya, etc etc, have not distracted us from the LingamGate case. We have not forgotten! What is happening to the case? Is the government still sleeping on it again? Here is something to remind you that we have not forgotten! By popular demand here it is again, “Lingam’s Devil Curry.”
