The Right to Push Stools

We should always be nice to our fellow men.

In bars or pubs, it can be polite to say "Excuse me, can I push your stool please?" if you need to get around another patron trying to head for the little boys...

But in Malaysia pushing stools in the intimate way, mano-a-mano, is illegal. One of our not so regular commenter quoted the wiki "both the late 90's case and the more present case, Anwar is accused of Sodomy, in this context, taken from the Wiki: the legal use of the term "sodomy" is restricted to rape cases where an act such as anal penetration has taken place".

Rape is rape and sodomy is anal sex. Even another wiki page says so. Let us not be trivialised by symantics and interpretation.

My worry about the negative repurcussion is this: eventhough many of us has not seen the police report, maaaaaaaaaaaany us are already making wild accusations and conjectures and, to my mind, we are wasting precious time - we could use those precious time to make this nation better.

Therefore, as an attempt to address such time wasting and as the Ketua Biro Dakwah for SiPM, I will propose to the SiPM Debauchery Council that Malaysia repeal sodomy and anti homosexual laws.

In addition, it is time for men and women to be able to enjoy sexual activities without fear or favour, nor worry about taboo of abnormal orientation.

So let's all sing together now and stand up for our rights to push stools! ;)

Sodomy
You must think it very odd of me
But I enjoy the act of sodomy
You might call the wrath of God on me
But if you tried it then you might agree
That you enjoy the act of sodomy

Don't worry if you feel ashamed
It's been around for years
Thousands more than can be named
Are interested in rears
Don't worry about hell
No harm will come to your soul
We're not all Pentacostal
But everybody's got an asshole

Let me tell ya 'bout sodomy
You must think it very odd of me
But I enjoy the act of sodomy
You might call the wrath of God on me
But if you tried it then you might agree
That you enjoy the act of sodomy

It might just improve your sex
It's a hard act to follow
The fact that fundamentalists
Find difficult to swallow
So join me as I sing
Of an activity that's fun
Open up your ring
And try it front to bum
Bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum

Sodomy
You must think it very odd of me
But I enjoy the act of sodomy
You might call the wrath of God on me
But if you tried it then you might agree
That you enjoy the act of sodomy

SODOMY!

Pump it up

Finally, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's government is going to cut all subsidies and let fuel prices raise to market levels. Of course, they are thinking of ways to mitigate such a shock to Malaysian consumers mollycoddled on subsidies for so long.

The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) has long asked for fuel prices to be in tandem with world prices unlike those who have promised to cut prices further if they form the government.

But we feel any move to cut subsidies should also include our recommendation to cut tax on cars or other vehicles. Come on, that would only be fair!

And of course, all savings from the cut subsidies - which is said to amount to some RM56 billion this year at the current global crude oil prices - should be invested in public transport systems owned and operated by the government or at least operated by companies that can make their own profits with leased fleets.

We look forward to tomorrow's announcement with great interest.

After all, it is interesting to note one thing in all the statistics provided by vested groups bitter about fuel price rises, that is, the Malaysian Tapis Spot Price has more than quadrupled from US$31.02/barrel on October 31, 2003 when Abdullah became Prime Minister to US$134.97/barrel on May 23, 2008 when the government started mulling price hikes (adjusted for inflation and notwithstanding the value of the US dollar).

As for fuel prices, it was RM1.35/litre when he took over and is now RM1.92/litre or about a 42 percent increase barring tomorrow's announcement.

But the impact of that rise is greater, as is the increase in Petronas revenues, of which some goes to subsidise gas and other staples. The government will have to review that especially for the independent power producers profiting from such subsidies.

We don't want to point fingers to how this unholy mess of mass subsidies began and our addiction to them but let's pump it up and live with it no matter which government runs Malaysia.

At least you know, vote the Siber Party of Malaysia (M) and pay real prices for everything.
