As promised - My Top 20 posts of 2014. Ter-naik kejap bulu roma doing this list, thinking how on earth did my follower base grow from 17 to 2,500 in 7 months. Im flattered, humbled, and very very thankful for the support. I hope Ive lit up some of your lousier days, your boring train rides, your lunch breaks, with my rants; and rest assured I will continue doing so when time, work and wife permits :P Here they are: MENTAL DIARRHOEA #20: Bapak received an SMS from a friend who wanted to track down the story of a boy who was caught stealing food because his family was hungry. When he (Bapak) forwarded the message to me, I was so shocked to read about their living conditions, I automatically pleaded to my friends and followers to help. The result? A reflection of true Malaysian generosity. The number of shares for this piece truly humbled me. https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=10152273286468026&set=a.95493753025.87404.775773025&type=1 Likes: 271 | Shares: 568 | Comments: 64 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #19: I’ve always been proud to be a Malaysian. And that pride reaches its summit every year during Merdeka. Recalling my visit to an old folks home years ago, and speaking to a man left there by his children, his view of Independence has stuck with me even till today. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152430735688026 Likes: 307 | Shares: 104 | Comments: 22 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #18: One of the very few posts that I wrote in relations to a political statement. The reason I was driven to rant about it was because it was regarding a subject I hold very strongly to – patriotism. And this Member of Parliament from Kuching lacked it, complaining he had to stand up to respect our National Anthem in the cinema. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152467187323026 Likes: 353 | Shares: 56 | Comments: 67 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #17: I was hit with an umbrella on the face by a Makcik who thought I was going to sneak up on her and steal her handbag. Need I say more? https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152601933218026 Likes: 363 | Shares: 14 | Comments: 84 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #16: Malaysia vs. Vietnam @ Shah Alam, where some of our bangang fans attacked the Vietnamese fans. Memalukan. https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=10152636352263026&set=a.95493753025.87404.775773025&type=1 Likes: 366 | Shares: 49 | Comments: 71 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #15: The Zionists are by existence Islam’s enemies. In the peak of the Gaza killings, I had to say my piece, and act on it. Proud to say that the things I said I decided to stay away from, I’m still keeping to them even till today. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152364759643026 Likes: 421 | Shares: 141 | Comments: 128 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #14: Typical overly-sensitive Malaysian sent me a PM claiming that my post (see #13) was racially-inclined. This was my response. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152629700943026 Likes: 444 | Shares: 2 | Comments: 122 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #13: My recollection of meeting Cigarette Girls with (unintentionally) funny names. This is quite possibly the post that has the BEST comments ever on my wall. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152627688943026 Likes: 460 | Shares: 48 | Comments: 124 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #12: A follower on FB openly posted pictures of her bleeding eye after being brutally assaulted by her young husband. It’s a disgusting behaviour, and I had to say my piece about it. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152621149343026 Likes: 486 | Shares: 57 | Comments: 30 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #11: One of the 3 LRT-related posts. Noticed an old couple walking in, no one cared to offer their seats. Two Indian girls, deep in conversation with each other, stopped their chat and offered their seats. https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=10152390829238026&set=a.428245683025.215841.775773025&type=1 Likes: 496 | Shares: 23 | Comments: 20 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #10: I’ve always been physically attracted to Chinese girls, and most of my past relationships were with them. Thankfully, religion was a barrier that barred those relationships from going further. Why I say “thankfully” is, of course, had one of them progressed, I wouldn’t have met my Beanie and made her my life partner, and I’ve never felt more blessed. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152639609113026 Likes: 507 | Shares: 47 | Comments: 101 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #9: ‘The Mamak Post’ – as it’s widely known as now – went viral too quick and too scary to the point I needed to put a halt to it, and made the post private. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152236015598026 Likes: 530 | Shares: 3 | Comments: 173 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #8: One of my more recent posts about Malaysians having this habit of asking “Bila nak Kahwin” and “Bila nak dapat anak” questions, and why you should think first before asking them next time. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152672210063026 Likes: 553 | Shares: 154 | Comments: 64 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #7: The first time I was asked about taking LRT to work. ‘Seems like many people can relate to this subject :P https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=10152346797713026&set=a.428245683025.215841.775773025&type=1 Likes: 643 | Shares: 32 | Comments: 63 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #6: One of my rants against politics. Actually, it’s not really against politics per se, but how Malaysians nowadays have the habit to blame the government for everything that’s bad in this country, when one should look at the individuals who’re doing things wrongly. #Makbapaktakajar https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152360865278026 Likes: 665 | Shares: 114 | Comments: 99 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #5: 3rd day of Raya. A relative passed away due to a heart attack. He could’ve been saved, if the ambulance did not arrive 1 hour late. When paramedics take that long to arrive, it’s not to rescue, it’s to collect. Sigh. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152359300653026 Likes: 874 | Shares: 559 | Comments: 217 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #4: People are still sharing this LRT-related post because it strikes a chord amongst many. Because it’s about typical Malaysian perceptions, being judgmental, and ‘must-have-gaya’ mentality. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152646743773026 Likes: 1,018 | Shares: 218 | Comments: 99 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #3: I was brought up in a home that was blind to treatment-by-wealth. We don’t praise the rich, we don’t look down on the poor. Here’s my take on that subject. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152574689023026 Likes: 1,286 | Shares: 290 | Comments: 85 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #2: Malaysians vs. Singaporeans. We love to hate each other. We hate to love each other. But when Singapore Airlines lied about not flying in the same airspace when MH17 was shot down, to reassure their customers they’re smarter than us, I had to take a swipe. In a candid way of course. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152340856733026 Likes: 2,308 | Shares: 807 | Comments: 193 MENTAL DIARRHOEA #1: The ‘Mamak Post’ of course. The one that started it all, skyrocketing my follower base from 17 people to what it is now. I never imagined it’d get that much traction, but when it did, it scared the hell out of me. ‘Still coming to terms of how it all happened, and how 200,000 people had read it on Says.My. https://facebook/joe.najib/posts/10152230012758026 Likes: 9,302 | Shares: 2,519 | Comments: 872 Have fun reading. Heres wishing 2015 to be more interesting and memorable.
