We all know how much censorship is imposed in almost every type of media in Malaysia. From sexual intent or hint to cursing, there has to be a limit to how much of it can be allowed and in most countries, there's a limit that is imposed and have been used as a stature to follow by that hasn't changed for awhile, not if something extremely impacting happens which may allow for action to be taken.

Sadly, this censorship does not apply to Malaysia. Almost every single year, the censorship just gets worse. Back in the days, when I listen to music on the radio, the only words that were censored was like shit, fuck and other really offensive words. That is acceptable, even the airwaves on other countries would do this, completely acceptable.

Let me highlight a couple of songs that had the most ridiculous words being censored away while it was aired over not just on Hitz.fm, who Plays today's Hit music and Nothing but the Hits but also Mix FM which are considered to be the 'Power House' music stations that play a lot of International music. To have them censor these songs, you'd be going "What in-tarnation are these bleepin' about?"

First song :: Train - Hey Soul Sister

As far as I'm concern, no cursing or swearing, or sexual implications were in the composition of this song. So let me tell you which parts they censored. The default lyrics look like this:

Like a virgin, you're Madonna

Watchin' you is the only drug I need

What happens when it's being aired over Hitz or Mix? This is what you'll hear:

Like a verdverd, you're Madonna

Watchin' you is the only rugd I need

Seriously. Virgin? Drug? Are they offensive to you? The funniest thing about the censorship of the latter word is that Hitz does play Ke$ha's song, Your Love Is My Drug without censoring that word. Talk about ridiculous censorship much?

I wonder what must be going on through the censorship committee.

"I think we should censor this word from this song, it's offensive to me. We should protect the innocence of our children, censor them now!"

*Facepalms*

Second song :: Ke$ha - Take It Off

Okay, so Ke$ha sounds like she's always tipsy in her songs, that doesn't mean she'd just blurt shit out in her lyrics but guess what, there's a censorship imposed in this song! Check out the following original lyrics:

Got a bottle full of whisky in my handbag

So what does it sound like aired over Hitz.fm?

Got a bottle full of wuwu in my handbag

What the flippin' #$%^? Whisky? Honestly, the censorship committee should be shot dead. Oh wait, there's another song too, remember 3oh!3's song featuring Ke$ha, My First Kiss? Here's the original lyrics:

Your kiss is like whisky, it gets me drunk

And what it sounds like after their freakin' tempering:

Your kiss is like zootzoot, it gets me drunk

I'd like a glass of zootzoot too so I'd get drunk enough to forget how stupid you guys are.

It's not just the radios, even Astro has been affected by these stupid censorship. Honestly, if they're gonna keep censoring everything that is 'bad' to them, might as well ban the shows.

I can't go on watching 14 minutes of Family Guy on FOX over Astro, without it being censored for about half of the show. Might as well not even have that segment in at all, ain't it? Again, who the fuck that makes the censorship committee? You guys are seriously retarded.

I am seriously at ends with my country. I know, this may be another nonsensical rant but what can I say, our country is full of PHAIL.

Saman is still a thing people dread to see and yes, I actually threw away the first saman issued to me because yeah, I just despise the mere look of it. It's not that I hate being saman-ed (however you spell it in the mixed language context), but knowing who that saman came from pisses me off instead.

I don't think I need to clarify how much corruption that goes on in our so called law enforcers in blue, Namwee did a fine job telling the people around the world in Youtube already how much shit they are. I'm sure within the police force there are some noble people doing their job, but I'm only associating this post to those idiots who succumb to temptation.

Actually, we have to look at what the root problem is and what causes them to be like that. A quick search through news archive shows that an average pay each officers get per month is between RM180 to RM300(source: BBC News). What the ...? Wow, that completely opened up my eyes! Okay, I'm feeling a little guilty now that I'm pinning the blames on them when actually the government is not paying them well. Those people bust their asses and put their lives on the line day after day to keep our country safe for that amount of pay? You've got to be kidding me. No wonder they lack enthusiasm to do carry out their duties. What happened to all the taxes this citizen has paid to the government went to?

Honestly, we all pay taxes and we are thinking where are they going to. The cops aren't getting paid enough, vandalism on public ammenities are usually or never fixed and more over, what is the fate of this country going to be like, 5 years from now?

Okay, let us get back to my story. See, my mom went down to MBPJ to pay the saman that I had 'neglected' to acknowledge at the sum of RM50 (or was it RM100). I paid for it with my own allowance of course as it is my fault after all. She then came to me today telling me that I had an 'extra' saman that I have failed to 'acknowledge'. What the fuck? I know I've only been issued with a saman once and I would have been more careful after that but another saman? Where? When?

She told me it had happened somewhere in June last year and that it was at PJU a.k.a. Kota Damansara. I don't recall having or being saman there and moreover, the only thing I recalled was a minor accident I had with another car but it was resolved there and then but a saman? From out of the blue? Nice going Malaysia, you handled yourself well.

Then, I started to recall a possible outcome to this. The parking system in PJU was a little screwed up. Their machines to accept coins were, in the nicest way to put it - obsolete. See, I do take part time jobs at that place and having the working hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. roughly, which is 7 hours of parking time. The machine only accepted my coins till 4 p.m. that day, for some reason it just blocked its coin-inserting pussy and I have to deal with that. Also, by the time you get to work, had lunch and continued work you could have forgotten about paying the extra hours because we're doing our work no less but if that isn't a convincing reason, here's a business man's point of view - why pay that extra 60 cents when you could be working 4.50 bucks per hour extra? My employers don't charge by the hour but yeah, I think it's much better to focus on my work than rushing down to my car, pay again and maybe the machine won't fuck itself too much and open its pussy to accept coins to pay for the parking fee.

Uh, yeah this is a rant about stupidity in machines and the government, but like I said, my voice will never be heard. I'm just another person among this faceless crowd known as Satu Malaysia, pfft. Given the rightful chance, I'll pack my bags and head out of this shit hole country.

"You tak suka, you kluar"



Nice attitude by the parliament and thanks to your fine examplary, the comments for that video is also seriously fucked up. Nation unity? More like Nation unruly. Think it over people at the higher ups of Malaysia, think carefully. If you want to drive us out, don't come begging to us if your economy falls to the slums, got it?

After viewing several sources (will be included below) I came to realise why PAS (Parti Islam SeMalaysia) can be real fucktards.

I mean, Pussy Cat Dolls were sexeh and yet they can perform here, Avril doesn't even show skin, so how's that being sexeh?

Avril's hot and all, but she's definitely not scandalous - PAS needs a wake up call.

If PAS were ever to be the party that will be running our country, I'm definitely moving away from it. Evidently, the modern malays that is currently growing in our community will exhibit PAS brought more shit than Osama could have devised. Who knows, maybe Osama's behind our 'beloved' party trying to torment more people under his whim.

In honesty, if more of their actions such as this were to continue, our country will continue to slump back to the stone ages.
