Horse racing in Hulu Salangor

Apparently Zaid owns horses and participates in horse racing frequently. Well if not because of the Hulu Selangor by election, most of us may not know that he was also drinking before. I guess for a big lawyer like Zaid, horse racing is just another hobby, just like our ex-ex Prime Minister likes to ride horses. Or just like any other MPs keeping luxurious cars and so on. And for a person getting western education, maybe social drinking is just a norm. Is there any different, horse riding and racing? Don’t forget we also have our very own Formula 1 Team Lotus which is also racing, animal and machine, any different?

I’m a frequent gambler buying 4D and I’m not ashamed of myself. My religion says that gambling is bad but never prohibiting it. If you go to 4D outlets, the gamblers are essentially One-Malaysian, you know what I mean, not only Chinese and Indian are gambling, many other races are also doing the same thing even though there are very clear signboards at the 4D outlets saying that gambling is prohibited by a particular religion, but so what, you mean to say that these people from the lower income groups do not stand a chance to become a lottery winners and become instant millionaires?

All religions teach people to be good. Gambling is not good we know. Then all these poor fellas can forget about getting rich one day by winning lottery. So everyone stick to the normal path, study hard, get a good education, get a good job and just like ordinary you and me, struggling in the rat race. You can work damn hard but no necessary can be successful like those guys sitting in high positions in private company or public services. Be realistic, how many like us can be like Tony Fernandez, or those guys sitting in high positions in all these GLCs? Dream big? Come on, be realistic.

Given that Malays make up approximately 53% of the voters in the Hulu Selangor parliamentary constituency, it is interesting to see what is the outcome of the by election on this coming 25^th April. But if the MCA party members can accept Tiger Chua as their president, hey, I don’t see why people in Hulu Selangor cannot accept Zaid, after all he has openly apologized for his alcohol drinking in the past and only horse racing as a sport but not gambling.
