Damn it! Leave says Rafidah

English: Rafidah Aziz: Former minister of Trad...

"Damn it! Don't Leave it to the PM, If you are a problem, Leave!" says Rafidah

In what is seen as attrition Rafidah Aziz the former “Iron Lady” has called upon her successor or rather the person who ousted her from power to leave, “don’t leave the onus on the Prime Minister to decide for you," she is reported to have said.

In a direct reference to Sharizat in her interview with the Malay Mail Rafidah Aziz the former head of wanita UMNO and the former Minister of International Trade and Industry said, “why are you so hung up about the three week decision? You’re missing the point, the point is damn it, decide, don’t leave it to the Prime Minister.”

“If you are a problem to the party and government please move out! That’s for everyone whether it’s to do with cows or anything. That’s the most matured way of dealing with your problems.”

Yes, she did not make a direct reference to Sharizat by name, the above was reported in the Malay Mail today, so who do you think Rafidah was talking about, Little Bo Peep, or the Milkmaid?

The fat lady who is also a big cry baby as big as Sharizat, was quick to dispel questions about the allegations on Approved Permits that was used against her, “there was no evidence and there was no link to any family member (as alleged at that time).

Rafidah who is still a serving Member of Parliament said, it was unfair to equate the two incidents, this was in the Malay Mail report, so is she saying that there is evidence against Sharizat, I would most certainly think so, and many UMNO big wigs seem to think so too, and as one ex UMNO strong man put it, “she has the strong arm of the deputy prime minister and the ex-prime minster (of mamak fame) to support her, and she does not have a parliamentary seat but is a minister so just imagine how powerful she is?"

Does Najib want her out?

All references to her case seem to point in that direction. The whispers around the PM’s office is that she was asked to go on leave, it was the biggest hint that he wanted her to go, “he has to get her out if he wants’ to get out the non performers,” said one UMNO veteran, “and if he can’t the others will stubbornly cling on to their positions and force him to drive them out – then all hell will break loose in UMNO and that will not be good for the party.”

UMNO members are already beginning to talk, Najib they feel is not strong enough to hold on to his position and lead the party.

Are Muhyiddin’s efforts beginning to bear fruit?

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.
