“Do you see that street? That street is the dish of life… and you boys are appetizers. Somebody gonna come along, eat you up and forget about you by dessert.”
“The street is the only thing that matters. Court is for uptown people with suits, money, lawyers with three names. If you got cash you can buy court justice. But on the street, justice has no price. She’s blind where the judge sits but she’s not blind out here. Out here the bitch got eyes.”
Both memorable quotes by Fat Mancho from ‘Sleepers’ (1996). Quite effective indeed when dealing with real life… reality that is. Yes, i do agree by doing some scribbles, graffiti or ‘whatsofuckingever you want to name it’ will caught some eyes for awareness or something could be think of afterwards. But, for the real impact for the masses or at least for the community of the thoughtful thought. We need to further it a bit more. I mean… we should be the ‘rat’ (hence the name. Hi, Rat!) of the system that worked for. Or at least be the real good one… likely… if you’re vendor, be a good vendor… treat consumer as you wanna be treated of. If you’re teacher… be a good teacher. Let those kids know what exactly the educational system they/we’ve been dealing with. If you’re doctor. Be a good doctor. Treat your patient well. Or if you’re cop (heh!). Be a good cop (Is there any? I wonder). Eat the rules been set up for you. Doing it for the people. Arrest those who promoted or practice bribery & those corruptions. If you’re scriptwriter. Write about injustice they’ve made. Tell the audiences of mass media about these unjust act by those greedy pigs. If you’re lawyer. Be a good lawyer. Take a real good care of our comrades of the so called poor people. Help ’em to speak up in those man-made-justice called court. If you’re web developer. Make as many as website to oppose ’em back as they’ve spreading those lies about us. Spread the propaganda as they’ve been spreading scums at our lives. If you’re writer. Write about love, peace, harmony… or at least about destructions they’ve made. Let readers know. Retaliate back. Make those zines or those manifestos widespread among masses. We should move around ’em. Slowly as a rat (hence the name again). So, there I suggest us to stand up & speak up. Act… before it’s too late. Yerp, it’s getting cheesy & sound cliche. Yet, I believe we need encore like this one… again and again. To make us (and masses) realize about what they’re (and have been) dealing with. This current system need us to be more effective & professional (yerp, professional… that’s the word). Much respect to Joe, Rat, Nizang, Zeezam, Boy, Fariq & friends in here. Thanks.
sapa2 nak gunakan gambar ni ntuk apa2 tujuan sekalipun malah kalau korang rasa nak hantar gambar ni kat polis sambil mendedahkan siapa yg buat pun tak jadi hal.
piece ni buat ngan sorang bdak pompuan dari johor……dia nak experience sendiri macamana keluar malam2 dan buat benda macam ni.
sejak apa yg aku buat keluar kat ricecooker…ramai yg ajak aku ‘date’ pkul 12 tgh malam hingga ke pagi…..baik laki2, perempuan dan adik2 masih kat sekolah menengah.
kebanyakan yg ikut aku ‘shooting’ just ikut untuk dapat ‘feel’, ikut je la buntut aku kemana pun aku pegi. tlg jaga line masa aku tgh ‘stim’ hidu kabus spray tu.
pada sapa2 yg penah ikut aku tu…..terima kasih!
namun, aku paling seronok ‘date’ ngan dia nie sebab dia tak sekadar ikut aku malam tu…..dia ada buat beberapa mural yg cantik[tak tau mcmana nak puji artwork dia sbb aku tak ada bckground seni]
sapa2 lagi nak ikut aku pegi shoot sekitar kl [rasa cam tour guide lak] dicadangkan supaya menumpukan sepenuh kesabaran untuk memotong stencil sendiri….cam bdak pompuan ni, trus terang je cakap dia tak boleh bersabar masa nak potong stensil…..tu pasal dia buat mural….ok la tu kan…..takde la ikut je!! baru la seronok sikit!
dengan izin dia dan of course perkenan dari joe nanti aku akan cuba masukkan gambar lukisan dinding dia kat dalam ricecooker ni.
at last we knew the person behind all the beautiful works.
thou the name didnt ring any bells, you works does inspired a lot of people.
you sound very down to earth!
i really love to know more bout you and sure does lot other people out there!
somebody should have been interviewing you right now!
gud luck to rat
hope that you’ll never get caught!

this is a zine, an archive, a blog, an event calendar, a place where rock’n’roll, especially of the fringe + underground, independent, DIY and related, came to be highlighted, promoted and documented.
running as a scene-blog since 2004, this website was operating as The Ricecooker Shop‘s portal from early 2007. TRS was a physical, brick’n’mortar music store first based at the Annexe, Central Market for more than three years, before moving on to two different locations in the city.
three years after the shop closed down in 2014, it morphed into a library/museum or an archive. we call this The Ricecooker Archives – Southeast Asian Rock’n’Roll Treasury (quite grand, we know).
The Ricecooker Archives have our own space at 84B, The Zhongshan Building, Jalan Rotan, Kampung Attap, Kuala Lumpur. here we collect, collate, clean-up, digitize, database and archive rock’n’roll artifacts from around the region. our aim is to preserve and to share it with the world.
note: the setting up our physical archives is still on-going, so those who wanna come meet and visit, do get in touch with us first. terima kasih.

For this matter, I have to quotes these:
“Do you see that street? That street is the dish of life… and you boys are appetizers. Somebody gonna come along, eat you up and forget about you by dessert.”
“The street is the only thing that matters. Court is for uptown people with suits, money, lawyers with three names. If you got cash you can buy court justice. But on the street, justice has no price. She’s blind where the judge sits but she’s not blind out here. Out here the bitch got eyes.”
