IT'S TOFFEE'S TURN: Najib may be driving us to do an Egypt

Najib may be driving us to do an Egypt

The leader de facto of Libya, Muammar al-Gaddafi.

The headline below has been changed.
Stop press - Latest
Clashes between anti-government protesters and Gaddafi supporters escalate as army unit 'defects' in Benghazi. Clashes reported in Tripoli, even Gaddafi the strongman who gave orders to shoot on sight and has reportedly killed about 300 Libyans is now in serious trouble.
The Libyan people want to triumph, other hardline states will follow.

Even Gaddafi is not safe now.

We are seeing how it is happening in the Muslim world one nation after another, and for about the same reasons it will happen here.

Hardliners like Gaddaf of Libya, Abdelaziz Bouteflika of Algeria, Iranian regime, and Syriain strong man Asad have been challanged,a nd the situation is escalating.

The Malaysian minister of Education in his narrow mindedness has only focus on students, he fails to see once the students take to the streets the parents and other adults will too.

The Port Klang case shows the amount of influence this government wields over bodies they are not supposed to have anything to do with.

The Elections commission had no right to interfere with a decision of the speaker, but they did to please their political masters, Najib and gang, the Judiciary had no place in what was an executive decision, and yet they did, the people have no recourse, this government will bulldoze regardless of what can be seen as blatant disregard for the voice of the common man.

The Teoh Beng Hock case, the interlock casefor what it is worth and the frustrations of the rakyat have been seen by the gathering in Kedah yesterday.

There is the rape of Sarawak by but one man, the great oil find announced by the government off Sarawak, is nothing but taking back part of what was sold by Badawi to the Sultanate of Brunei, individuals selling state property, its happening in Malaysia, the Sarawak CM is a classic example.

Temperatures are rising, and we have seen how it is being handled in the rest of the Islamic world, it is fresh in the memories of all Malaysians - Egypt that is, now we have Libya, Algeria, Bharain, Iran, Jordan and even Yemen the government had better learn how to behave.

Hi I am Toffee

Long long ago (that's how stories began then), an issue of The Sunday Times carried an article titled;
"Have you seen this, 'Boy Toffee' ".
Yes! that boy is this old man today, the same Toffee, a name I carried with me since infancy, and today to my wife Ju I still am Toffee, to my two children- daddy, to my grandchildren Grandpa Toffee, to many young children, my nephews and nieces "Uncle Toffee" and my friends still Toffee, and oh, how I love that name.
As fate would have it I landed up becoming a "Toffee Maker" and I dare say- a very good "Toffee Maker" having set up a plant that would manufacture fudge, caramel, nougat, fondant peanut butter, all to be encased with chocolate - Chocolate enrobed candy bars - are what they are called.
I moved into chocolate enrobed candy bars because of my eleven years experience in candy manufacturing and during those years had the opportunity to experiment on various types of toffee, real hands on experience.
To the surprise of many of my suppliers and even customers who had known me during these days I quit in 1992.

I made a career change, switching career, from Manufacturing to Human Resource Management where I remain to this day albeit since 2011 on my own.

I had the privilege of living the history of my since 1957, I was sin the town padang with my cub (young scout) uniform where I proudly participated in the Parade on 31st August 1957. The Scout District Commissioners were there too and I still the names, Jolly Goh and Goh Thian Hin.

So please avoid telling me post Merdeka History I lived in the thick of it since. In fact I learned to sing the Negara-ku even before Independence and sand it on the day we became Independent.

As For Toffees - I may add a real Toffee recipe or two for all of you who follow my blog, one that would enable you to make Toffee at home.

After all these years out here in this wonderful world I feel it is time for me to share my thoughts, experiences, cares and even frustrations and I have decided to use this blog to do so.

"It's Toffee's Turn" is not something new.
It all began during my days in primary school.
Whenever we sat at table a family of two girls, six boys and there was Mum and Dad there was a lot to talk about.
Being the fourth I always had to fight to have my say, and once I got to it there was no stopping, so most of the time my dad would remind me to keep quiet and give others a chance. I would then have to shut my mouth and wait till mum would intrude and say, "OK, It's Toffee 's Turn."

So now, "It's Toffee's Turn"
To those of you who are new to this space welcome.
