Going Bananas!

.
.
Snapshot: Malaysian politicians are going bananas, chasing each other across borders and playing cat and mouse. Lots of denying in changing allegiance or not, do the opposition has enough MPs for a new mandate? All these will unveil in coming months. Again, of course depends on how the present government behaves, if they still do not understand and continue their wayward behaviour, nothing can help them. The opposition had always insisted that they wanted a smooth transition and there is really no hurry for it.



Got a surprise when a cluster of banana plants was bearing fruits. From the shape of the unripe green fruit it looked like ‘Pisang Emas’. One of the best kind?


(doesn't it look yummy, like pisang emas?)

Anyway, yesterday we discovered one of the plants in which its fruit was ripe for harvesting. Finally, got a chance to taste it.


Upon peeling the banana, it looked kind of funny in colour, blackish, instead of the normal white colouring. We had some reservation on what kind of banana was it. You had that funny feeling straight away that it was really odd, might not be banana, could even be poisonous.


In breaking it into half, then it suddenly dawn on us that the blackish colour came from the seeds. It was a wild banana! Still, I got to a taste of it, neutral in taste and a bit sour near the seed, very little flesh, hardly felt it and the seeds were gritty & hard.

Now my problem is how to get rid of this cluster of wild banana plants.

On reflection, do we have an analogy here with our political situation???
