Hop Skip and Jump

Isn’t everyone getting ants in their pants?

Everyone’s so jumpy now that September 16 is looming (even if its just a hypothetical date) that they have decided to bundle off all potential kerropi to Taiwan to study agriculture. (source) All 50 potential kerropi. So fun. I also want to be kerropi - get surprise holiday to Taiwan (maybe even to a fun farm? I’ve never been to Taiwan) where the end of summer sales abound and beef noodles are a-plenty!!

Kerropi
Kerro Kerro Kerropi

I don’t know why only 50 went to Taiwan. Maybe the others have been and didn’t feel like leaving the country at its hour of need? Or maybe its hard to go to a country where non-halal eating joints abound. Wouldn’t Indonesia be a better bet? The Kerropi could have gone to see rural agriculture in Java and Sumatra. Perhaps even learn how to grow rice on hill slopes to supplement our local rice crop so rice prices don’t soar?

Anyway, Taiwan visits aside I’m surprised and not a little upset to read this article especially this little excerpt:-

The Kota Belud MP said the people of Malaysia voted for a two-party system in the last general election.

“Anwar should accept his role as Opposition Leader and carry out his duty of checks and balances,” he said.

“If Sept 16 does occur, it will not be a surprise if Barisan supporters go to the streets to challenge the legitimacy of a government formed through undemocratic means. And all this is because Anwar wants to be Prime Minister.”

Worrying indeed. Is that why I found that the shelves of tinned tuna, baked beans and sardines were bare? Or is it a mere coincidence?

p/s Kerropi is a Sanrio frog
