A DISGRACE TO ISLAM
I happen to know a
crook dressed like a Haji and started giving Fatwa
to favor the government. The Fatwa has the indirect
implication that cheating and lying, corruption and
hooliganism is alright. It is similar to a drug pusher
who dressed like a Haji with the Koran and drugs hidden
in his dress. Those are the biggest sinners we have to
be aware of. They spoil and disgrace the God's religion.
They brought shame to the Malay race.
Have
we not known that Islam is not Malays and Muslims are
not entirely Malays ? And Malays are not all Muslims.
And the people who claim to be Muslims condemned the
Islam and the Holy Prophet.
At my young age we
used to mentione 'China Mampus' whenever there were
funeral ceremony. My mother scolded me saying how would
we know that the dead not a Muslim.
There are millions
of non-Malays who know Islam more than the Malays. Some
of us may have known Raylond Bony, a university
lecturer, who was found dead as a vagabond. One of his
close friends said he was a Muslim.
What is the point
of mankind who claim to be a Muslim when he treated
people of other religion unfairly, stealing, robbing and
killing ? Is that Islam ?And I am sure many of you have
watched the You Tube showing several policemen kicked
and stepped on the victims like what the anti-corruption
officers did to TBH.
Those actions made
the non-Malays hated the Malays more and prefer to stay
away from Islam.
After demonizing
Ambiga, Azmin and Anwar with the full force what do you
think is the outcome ? If the government dare to allow
BERSIH4 I believe more Malays will join the march or the
sit-in. And the next time they are attacked there will
be a fierce fight back.
We observe well our
brilliant Minister, Rais Yatim, losing temper and
balance. A few could not sleep well alarmed at the
massive turn out. With all the effort and resources used
by BN to divide and rule, and the various False Flag and
brain washing, the crowd did not shrink.
Now we are reading
and watching news that depict the state of minds of
those in Putrajaya. It is at a very dangerous point,
showing behaviors akin to amok with a parang slashing at
those who he can lay his hands on.
Rais sees thing
through his own perspective. Others see thing in another
perspective. And UMNO is looking at Anwar, Ambiga and
DAP. The people are looking at the pillaging of national
coffer using various menthods, from a direct robberies
to the more subtle ones like the mega project and
Iskandar and Bakun.
I look at our young
generations spoiled by the drugs and their bleak future.
The Malays are now becoming the garbage hunters, thieves
and bag snatchers. I see the declining of our morality.
I see people abuse religion for personal benefit.

Extract from
http://arstechnica.com
Satellite-jamming becoming a big problem in the Middle
East and North Africa
The Arab Spring has had yet
another consequence—satellite jamming, and the practice is serious enough to threaten the satellite
operators' business. Two operators, Arabsat and
Nilesat, complained about the jamming in the
Satellite 2012 Conference in Washington, D.C. last
week, according to
an
article in Space News.
Arabsat is a 21-country consortium that provides
broadcasting to over 100 countries in the Middle
East, Africa, and Europe. Nilesat is an Egypt-based
operator that carries 415 channels to the Middle
East and North Africa. The satellites also provide
broadband, telephone, and
VSAT service.
Jamming and
rounding up satellite dishes has become a common
practice for governments wishing to limit
unfavorable coverage in their own (or sometimes
other people's) countries. An
article in February at
BroadcastEngineering.com detailed the decision of
the United Nations' International Telecommunications
Union (ITU) to condemn satellite jamming in Iran as
"contrary to
Article 19 of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights." That
decision came after complaints by several
broadcasters, including the BBC, Radio Netherlands
Worldwide, and Voice of America. Last year Reuters
reported that jamming of
satellite phones and other services occurred in
Libya during the uprising.
But the
issue may not be limited to Middle East governments.
The Islamic Republic of Iran's
Broadcasting English website
claimed in January that
British technicians were jamming Iranian broadcasts
on Eutelsat's Hotbird sat network from a site in
Bahrain. If that's accurate, it may suggest that
European governments think it's acceptable to jam
European companies' satellites as long as the
broadcasts themselves aren't European.
Any attempt
to jam satellites in the United States is generally
tracked and stopped quickly by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), which strictly
enforces the licensing and sharing of US radio
spectrum by the many parties that use it.
Off-frequency or overpowered broadcasts in the
United States generally result in an instant
broadcaster shutdown and possible fines or jail
terms.
In Europe, a new
pan-European regulatory body entitled the
Body of European
Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC)
began meeting in 2010. BEREC has broad authority for
licensing and enforcement and has, from all reports,
even broader and stricter powers.
Unfortunately for customers or companies seeking
redress, there is no pan-African or pan-Middle
Eastern authority available to prevent illegal
transmissions. There are, instead, cooperative
agreements between the countries that make up each
body of operators. The countries that are doing the
jamming are member states of this consortium, and at
times they have even jammed their own broadcasts.
In a few
cases, according to the Space News article, the
operators have been able to identify the antennas
doing the jamming using Google Earth. Notifying the
governments involved is ineffective, and there is at
present no practical way to stop the jammers.
The two
companies were hesitant to name the culprits, but
countries that have been mentioned elsewhere in the
press include Libya, Syria, Bahrain, Iraq, and Iran.
Syria and Bahrain, in particular, have ongoing
domestic problems right now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is always a potential danger when pushing the
people to the brim of their patience. As the government
is making enemies with more and more of the smart people
it is building up potential problem. So far we don't
have people who are declaring wars but merely presenting
a polite request for changes. It is a tragedy if the
government is thinking nobody is better and smarter than
Rais Yatim.
Foreigners may not
jam our satellite but they can always pass the knowledge
or the hardware to brilliant young men. The fight will
no more be in the battle field or at Merdeka Square but
in the world of imagination. Young Malaysians have the
capacity to create wafers for the microchips and they
can do the unthinkable with their brain.
It is safer not to
invite trouble. Prevention is better than cure.

MONEY FOR WHAT ?
So I rang up my friend after finding
government gave me some money. I told him I will vote
for UMNO. "Take the money,"hesaid."But vote for BA." I
could not sleep for a couple of nights thinking about
it. How could I be a leader at all if I am easily be
bought ? Take the money, 'YES'. But what kind of a man
am I to bite the hand that feed me ? Alas, I am not the
only one who think like that. How could they bite the
hand that feed them ? Those are the UMNO men up there
who gain much from devotion and obedience. Mahathir
loath Anwar because Anwar did not repay his kindness for
pulling Anwar from nobody to a deputy PM.
I would be charged
as an ungrateful lot.
When the flood
victims were paid RM500 by UMNO and I did not get it, I
never complained. I have the choice not to accept. But
this one there is no way I can reject it. Others
would just say, "Take it but don't go for BN."
How could I stay
mum and pretend not know what is really happening. It
would not be enough just to say 'NO to corruption". I
have to make sure it stops. I would not want to see the
police working together with drug kingpin or the Mafia
group like whatever happens in some countries. I could
not condone the stupidity and the arrogance of the
Malays, the robbing of the poor farmers under whatever
pretext, the manipulation of judiciary, the failed war
against drugs, the lies and injustice. And the robbing
through agreements( Mahathir is smart at this technique)
Najib can get more
than my vote if the EC is fixed and rectified and the
corrupts are put behind bars.
Money can buy most
men but not all of them. Remember we have to account to
God for our action. Why we obey and fear mankind but not
God ?
I have conscience
and morality. I have God and religion. I can't approve
corruptions and other crimes. If the money given as an
incentive to vote Najib then I will vote him with the
condition. Don't lie and cheat the people. Stop
plundering government coffer.
if he does that
Najib will get my one vote.

I
drove 10 miles to get the crabs and the prawns. The
crabs cost RM20 per kilogram and the prawns RM40.When I
compute the average price of a crab it is about RM3.50 a
piece. In food stalls the same size would cost me
between RM10 to RM20 depending on the location. The 6 -7
inch prawn costs me about RM3 whereas the Mamak shop
priced it as about RM8 to RM10 a piece.
Things are no more cheap. The hyper inflation is not
caused by the government but by the high demand.
Salaries increased not in proportion with productivity.
Raw food is much cheaper in the United States than in
Malaysia. I would blame the Union for the inflation.
My
maid has been an excellent cook besides a good nurse and
house keeping. I asked her to cook for my wife and
herself. I seldom eat at home. Today by the time my wife
comes back from her dialysis the delicious food will be
ready. We eat together with our maid.

BBC complaints
ASTRO's Censorship
During the Argentinian war with the British,
the latter suffered a heavy loss at the initial phase of
the battle due to the air superiority of the Argentinian.
Argentina was using the American made plane. Seeing this
the Americans told the British to park their warships a
distance of of an air-fuel. The Argentinian went to USA
quietly to purchase the extra-size fuel tank, paid the
money. But could not bring the goods back.
BBC is a Western
agent. ASTRO is using the service of the Western nation
and their technology. They are making money no doubt. It
is very unlikely they are going to stop their services
rendered or to stop selling their products. BBC, ESPN or
CNN is aware of the business dealing. Could it not be
other way to teach ASTRO a lesson ? ASTRO should compute
all the possibilities of a series of possible actions by
the West.
I remember a
comment that just passed many ears. Someone said, "Put
up your own satellite to fight against your enemy's
propaganda." It has two implications. The first is to
really send up a satellite by ourselves. The second is
to jam the transmission. While the first option
needs a huge sum of money, the second is much more
simpler. Our electronic engineer can always aim at the
satellite concern to cause problem
to ASTRO. We have to keep in mind that genius and smart
people are not of the same wavelength as the government
who they deem corrupt. Don't be surprise if our police
force kick them as you have seen in the pictures.
And to raise
billion for the satellite is not an impossible task to
do. There are brilliant ways to do without the
possibility of thefts. Arent Maxis and Celcom took our
money that way ? If the victims seek global help
vigorously it could be certain that the day of vengeance
will be near.
Will not
the West side the dissidents ?
We are
waiting to see what ASTRO is going to say to
BBC. 'Fuck off !!' ? "Sorry" ?
Has
Malaysia decide to declare war on foreign media

WHAT IS THE REAL ISSUE ?
Anwar's giving sign to
Azmin, protstors breaking the law, over turning of the
police car and Nik Aziz supporting Bersih 3 are not
issues to be debated. The main and the biggest issue is
the ELECTION COMMISSION REFUSAL to clean up the
electoral roll. Blogs and many others are turned away
from the real issue. Keep with the path. Keep with the
track. Keep with the issue.
Cleaning up the EC does not mean clean up of Najib
and UMNO. If UMNO wins it can be more proud that it wins
without any cheating. An UMNO camp itself disclosed how
Khairy Jamaluddin won in the last GE by
postal votes
which was brought in later. No wonder many young
UMNO members were not in favor of Khairy. It was
different from the first GE where UMNO and the
coalitions won a clear land slide.
Putrajaya said it would cost RM5 million to clean up the
electoral roll. Whatever it takes it has to be
done.
In
spite of the aggressive efforts to demonize Ambiga and
the call on the Malays to stay away from the street it
did not show any sign of declining numbers. Young Malays
were together with their Chinese brothers on the same
mission. The mission was never to topple Najib nor the
government. It was never to fight with the police. It is
nothing more than a clean government.
Najib should not fear of losing. There are three
simple things he can rely on; his generosity, his mother
and God. He should not consult Rosmah, a shaman or Ghani
Patail to make a decision. Toh Puan Raha is always a
respectable mother and adored by all. God will accept
her prayer. Losing or winning will always be for the
good. He is lucky to still have a mother. ASk the
Indians and the Chinese about the respect of a mother.
Cleaning up does not mean a defeat or a kowtow. It makes
Najib and BN government feel good. And to win again just
choose the right people as candidates. Nevertheless the
country needs both parties in the parliament and
the state assemblies. We need matured and educated,
learned and wise. When they debate they will do it in a
civilize manner and go for the best piece of idea
regardless of the political party.
But
it looks like the government chose to fight the rakyat.
To do so Najib has to further delay the election. Else
he has to adopt what was done in Sarawak to stay in
power. Else kill the election altogether and UMNO rules
forever.

How can G S, a Jew go about simply saying things

One thing is certain, when

The corruption of Mahathir: SOROS' REPLY TO MAHATHIR -
adapted from Bangkok Post (Not published locally)
I have always said Dr Mahathir is a menace to his own people. Now only you can see the effects of his foolishness when the ringgit has halved its value overnight and your economy goes kaput.
Single handedly you have caused hardship to millions of your own people. You have built useless mega projects at tremendous cost to the country.
The telecoms tower in Kuala Lumpur and the highest building in the world show how stupid you are. Not only does it cause massive traffic jam, it has totally no purpose.
If you need high ground for telecoms antennae a nearby mountain is there for free.
This tower has no purpose from the ground up to 300 metres. The satelites make this totally unneccesary. A fool and his money are soon parted.
The only thing is you are the fool and the money belongs to Malaysians. You make 20% in every project, you have real estate in Japan and billions of shares corruptly acquired.
Your 3 sons are worth 8 billion US$. Where do they get this money? Of course, corruption.
You are known as the Marcos of Malaysia, having enriched yourself to the tune of billions.
You dare to shed crocodile tears during UMNO delegates meeting about the ills of corruption.
Yet you are the most corrupt of all the prime ministers before you.
A thief is crying thief and hopes people look the other way. Who dares to say anything when the chief is caught with his hands in the candy jar?
You said wisdom is not the monopoly of the West. So is foolishness.
You have more foolishness than most people would believe. Billions are used to build two high rise Petronas buildings that benefit nobody. They now stand tall, a symbol of stupidity and irresponsibility.
Instead they just add on to traffic jams. What is this reclamation of 10 islands off Kedah? Totally absurd and stupid. Of course your benefit is 20%.
And the bridge across from Malacca to Sumatra across international waters?
Why not build a bridge to the moon? I am sure you still can get your 20%. You called me a Moron . How can a Moron make so much money.
By allowing short selling and borrowing millions of shares from your banks we fund managers made millions out of your inexperience and poor regulations.
You lose all Malaysians' money, therefore you are the Moron . Now you know too late and start crying over spilt milk.
In Australia you are known as the recalcitrant ego maniac; in UK the corrupt bastard because of your stupid purchase of our movie studio and the 290 million ringgit Lotus racing car plant and the shady Pergau dam loans from the UK . They are useless to us and you still want to buy them.
What about buying British reject submarines through your agent, of course. The agent/ broker is designed to make millions out of the Malaysian government..
Your purchase of our battleships is at least 50% more than others are paying.
Your purchase of 9 hospitals from UK lock, stock and barrel does not support your local architects or your industry and the British send you obsolete medical equipment. The design is atrocious, one end to the other is half a kilometer and there is no CT-scan, an absolute necessity.
In the UK your face appears in no less than 17 newspapers as a corrupt dictator.
In Malaysia you are known as the (IBM) International Big Mouth.
In Japan they call you the 'smallest one' (brain size).
In Pacific islands, the Santa Claus (giving advice left and right).
In south America they call you the parrot (he talks a lot but does not know what it is about). In Manila the living Marcos.
In Malaysia they are spending millions to lure tourists and you talk rubbish scaring every oreigner away. When he is dumb he is doubted a fool, when he opens his mouth it removes all doubt."
While I agree the West does not have the monopoly to wisdom, your actions are not the wisest either.
Your EAEC has totally no support even in Asean. Your South-South dialogue meets with the same fate and what is this I hear of the Bridge from Peninsula Malaysia to Sumatra covering 20 miles across International shipping lane?
How crazy can one get? Even the Japanese don't have the money. This world's stupidity seems to be concentrated in one man's mind - yours.
The multimedia super corridor - MSC -. Well in USA its Most Stupid Concept because we Americans, would have thought of it light years before. Even if it makes money, we can copy this concept can't we?
Why do you want to spend your hard-earned money doing questionable projects? It will be like the Bakun project. Abandoned fund wasted and another white elephant. I always say politicians should not be involved in business.
Your ministers are also businessmen and almost every official is enriching himself. Look at Rafidah Aziz, selling thousands of Approved Permits (APs) for cars each worth 20-30 thousand Malaysian dollars.
Why not your government sell them and make the money? She has acquired millions of shares meant for bumis for free before she agrees to list them.
Look at your Selangor Chief Minister collecting millions for approving high rise buildings from businessman. He is worth a few billions. Unfortunately he was caught with a few million pocket money in Australia .
Every Chief minister is awarding useless projects to his cronies then collecting secret pay offs on the side.
The Land Development Boards and the Economic Development Boards are used to bail out any loses suffered by politicians. The profits they keep, the loses they force the Government bodies to absorb. How can your poor ever close the gap when every good deal is snatched by your politicians? How can your country get out of poverty if all the billions of corruption money is taken out of the country?
Look at the Sarawak Chief Minister selling billions worth of timber concessions under the table; selling every piece of state land to businessmen without tender; using his own companies to obtain lucrative government contracts; selling approval signatures for a fee 'you pay I approve'. He has 8 billion US stashed overseas.
Thousands of acres of land are given to one or two companies while thousands of poor people still live in cardboard makeshift homes; have no water and shit into the river..
Thousands of acres of land are sold to companies for plantations while the natives do not have even one acre to their name. He is selling sand near the beaches to one company for earth filling and then ask the government to spend millions to protect the coastline when erosion occurs.
He lost 300 million of the Sarawak government money trying to make computer chips. He has built a port in Northern Sarawak town in water so shallow it needs dredging every year. The Prime Minister built highways
without tender, your cronies get the deal and the price double.
Your Langkawi airport runway was built double the cost by your own company, Ekran.
The Malaysian nation has lost at least 30 billions during your last 10 years of corrupt rule.
One billion lost from the purchase of phantom Skyhawk war planes nobody has ever seen (are they still in the Nevada desert, USA ?).
3 billion lost from the London tin scandal (you thought you could corner the London tin market without knowing the Americans have a stockpile! Stupidity
at its best.
6 billion Perwaja steel mill where nobody even knows where the money goes,
3 billion bank Bumiputra scandal when George Tan bribed all the bank officials to lend him the money.
6 billion forex lost by Bank Negara (the fool and his money are soon parted) and
6 billion to build three of the world's tallest buildings (built by Japanese and Koreans and furniture
imported from France - not Malaysia ) and
1 billion lost from purchase of British warships including fees paid to the broker and under the table..
Add the 10 billion you stole and 5 billion taken by Ministers.
In the 1997 the World Journalists meeting voted Dr Mahathir the Prime Minister of the Decade. It sounded strange to everybody until it was revealed those who voted against are threatened by IRD officers and with losing their jobs.
In New York the United Nations 1997 meeting, the most corrupt Prime Minister of the decade is President Suharto and second Dr Mahathir (Actually Dr Mahathir should take first place but bribed the Indonesians to take honour of Number One.)
There are Fifty thousand of your university students not given places in Malaysia but are good enough for places overseas resulting in billions of dollars lost.
The British and the Australians are thinking how stupid. Your best students are sent overseas raising their standards while as in most countries the best are kept in local universities and the rejects sent overseas..
A university student in Hong Kong is much more prestigeous than any Australian counterpart. You have been colonised by the British so long you cannot even educate your own people.
Look at Hong Kong or Singapore , less than 5% study overseas. All the money saved. Your country could save billions if every student overseas is recalled to a local university, and at the same time raising your own standards.
Your people are still without shoes, without land to farm, without homes, bathing in rivers shitting in holes in the ground, without water and electricity.
Your cities are concrete jungles without greenery and open spaces. Your KL is jammed with traffic. Yet you still keep on building high rises. You should come down from the clouds and stop daydreaming and firmly plant your feet in the ground.
Your schools are cramped 500 students to an acre and thousands of acres are given free to some politicians who leave them idle. Your parks are being taken by politicians to build shop houses and every cabinet minister is a land-grabbing businessman who builds roads only to their cronies' land.
The Malaysians' Prayer, "Ya Allah, we thank you for your gifts of timber, oil and grain. But then the devil sent us corrupt Mahathir without a Brain and look we are back to square one again. So just take Dr Mahathir back to Hell and we will be alive and well."
In China people have been shot for embezzling one thousand dollars. With 8 billion you have stolen, therefore you would be shot 80 thousand times.
Now you are leading an anti-corruption campaign. We all know what you should do. Look yourself in the mirror. You see the crooked you. Then use your left hand and handcuff your right hand.
You have put the opposition leader and his son in jail when they said in parliament you are the richest PM in the world. And his colleague Mr Karpal Singh too for 2 years.
So I get a reward or bribe if I now say you are the poorest PM in this world?
Your 3 sons are sitting on the board of directors of more than 200 companies.
They must have been educated in Harvard school of business and obtained distintions? Or is it "you don't know me, you don't do business in Malaysia"
law that applies.
Billions of ringgit of Employee's Provident Fund and
public Petronas funds are used to bail out your sons who make losses investing in every venture you thought you could make money. How unethical and corrupt.
Every one of your politicians is sitting on the board of tens of companies making thousands without any effort, lending their VIP names to borrow millions from local banks without collateral.. Now these have become non- performing loans.
Now you want 20 million Malaysians to sacrifice for the folly of ONE man? Why not the fool resign and admit he wasted and took most of the money.

This police guy has to be crazy driving a car fast
enough trying to ram the crowd at Bersih protestors. He
should be charged as attempted murder.
Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian did not tell the story
behind the damage police car.
The
spirit of Bersih has inspired the general public. Rais
Yatim should realize that there are many brilliant young
people who excel his faculty.
BN
should stop waging war on it's own people. Ghani Patail
must not think he is the law. Muhyuddin should make sure
of no further stealing of public funds.
Eyes do not see only the Ministers but also those
government servants who manipulate public money, and
misusing their power.
Leaders, whoever they are, must always remember the fate
of Saddam and Ghadafi and other Presidents and
Ministers. |
WOLVES AMONG THE LAMBS
-
Among the
huge crowd at the Bersih 3 there are government's eyes
and hands, wolves dressed as lambs. They were government
agents. This is something inevitable in politics and
other international events. One of the tasks is to
create havoc when the need rises. UMNO has been
practicing it for some time by planting moles in
Pakatan's camp. Saiful was one of them. The same thing
happened in the last 'American Occupy' where the
government was accused as planting trouble makers among
the protestors.
The
mingling of Special Branch and UMNO's mobs might
not have been thought. The security forces always have a
division to do the work. Other than to spy they may be
ordered to stir up trouble. If the situation does not
favor to change the crowd because they were too big,
they will create the trouble themselves to discredit the
movement. This is termed False Flag. The 911 was indeed
a False Flag attacked to ensure the blame would be on
the Muslims. False Flag is an art to make an innocent
guilty.
Before
jumping to any conclusion one has always to bear in mind
of the False Flag and the wolves among the lambs.
DO YOU
NOTICE ?
- The
crowd at Bersih march could be more than 300000 ?
They
are certainly much more than the police. If they
gathered with a plan to fight the whole force would be
humiliated. Ambiga had wanted the protestors to behave,
to sit just for two hours. If the picture above does not
cheat the massive crowd beat the Egyptian and the Occupy
Wall Street. Najib should be thankful to God that the
strategist did not tabled the plan B and C. The West
Malaysians are more sensible then the Sarawakians who
still go for some s**t.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

t
THE MESSAGE IS DELIVERED
Watch the clip and
try to figure out what UMNO could have been thinking. It
is not just snubbing at it and forget everything. Bersih
3 is not about Anwar at all. I do not think of the
leadership at all. So are many others. They are fed up
with the open and continuous corruption.
It is not
about winning or losing. Neither it is about sit-up
protest. It is not even about the Dataran Merdeka on 28
th. April. It is about the sending of message to the
world.
|
The
crowd was really huge. 99.99% of them were not there to
topple the government. They want the government to do
some spring cleaning; enough with corruption and
robberies, enough with arrogance and boldness, enough
with power abuse and any involvement with drug dealers.
The
same people who went out can vote for BN if there is a
total cleanup and fairness to all regardless of their
ethnicity or creed, or skin color. Remember, for every
action there will be an equal opposing reaction.
Newton's Law has always been true in human relationship.
Najib may be happy with Ghani Patail and those who were
working hard to bring Anwar down. The people judge
themselves base on the court proceedings, on Anwar, and
on Teoh Beng Hock. It is not that they love Anwar or TBH
but they feel so dirty and ugly at the manners of those
officers.
Saddam and Ghadafi would not know that they would die
like animals. They thought they were invincible. Notice
the behavior of those people; they think they are
invincible too. They think they have the police behind
them. Saddam and Ghadafi thought the same way.

EXPECTATION 2012
It has been quite some time that I
did not follow about the doomsday. It had been a topic
in the Friday prayer that Muslims must not predict the
date but to believe the end will come.
Just
now I opened up the YouTube again. The number of clips
do not show any reduction. I clicked one at random and I
felt very scared. This person talked about Nibiru and
the shift in the polar poles.
He
spoke about nobody could escaped death.
Only
God knows the future and whatever may be happening. I
know it is a sin for me to say more about it. But the
author does not see through the eyes of the atheists and
the sceptics. |
There
are new technologies unknown to many men and scientists.
The failure of the North Korean rocket was a result of
the new technology. Invisible weapons are being tested
using Tesla's technology. HAARP has advanced much since
the founding. And alien vehicles have been tested
successfully.
These
vehicles could bring men to the moon within 6
hours. Hence the venue for escape is always open. The
rest is up to God to decide.
The
believers do not worry about the end. They will not try
to escape. Death ends all the worries and problems. It
is the living who are seeking help, struggling to
survive, unhappy with the amount of money they have.
The
Muslims are waiting for the signs of certainty; the
coming of the anti-Christ and Christ himself. Refer to
the You Tube on the judgment day by the Muslims and
compare with the Jews and the Christians.
Nearing the end morality will vanish. What is bad is
|
considered good. The good has become bad.
A
woman dresses like a man and a man as a woman. The
Anti-Christ can bring the dead to live and putting
artificial hearts and other organs.
As
more mysteries were found and resolve and new
technologies are being deployed there are more
uncertainties that may pop up.
2012
is our general election. It is also an election in the
United States. It is the year of the end of Assad of
Syria. It could very well be the end of Barisan Nasional
government. There may great violence in Malaysia if BN
were to lose.
The
dissidents in Malaysia are getting more stiff and bolder
which has never been before. The turmoil may be global,
with North Korea becoming mad. When I told my sick wife
that Tsunami will hit us if it comes again, she looked
so very scared. I think the end is near.

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION
COUNTS ?
I remember several of my
friends went to India after Form 5. They, including me
, were not good enough for Sixth Form. Though all were to
go for medical doctors several failed to make the grade.
Some ended up in dentistry and pharmacy. So the brighter
ones joined the local universities and the less smart
guys who have money went to foreign countries.
Later
the number of universities grew. Today we have
universities even under a cherry tree. You don't have to
be good in your study to get a degree.
How
many students who can't make a grade go to foreign
colleges ? In what sort of colleges are they in ? How
many Ministers whose kids result were too poor for good
local universities sent their children abroad ?
Even
universities and colleges in USA were categorized. MIT,
Havard and Cornell are said to be better than UCLA.
MACEE can provide you the list of good colleges.
If you
asked me which university is better I would not be able
to tell you. I have always respect the my local lecturers,
as people who are full of knowledge and wisdom. At any time
I would say Rafedah Aziz is ten time better than one or
two professors in Indiana University Bloomington. And
Khoo Kay Kim is one of the great professors.
A
bright student is a bright student wherever he is. The
non-bright ones like me had to struggle very hard to
keep above 3.5. I studied the same way at the local
university as in the foreign land. |
BUT I
always believe educational institutions must not easily
gives marks. You have to fail your own son if he deserve
to fail. The moment you gave As to all non-deserved
students in return for a favorable , you are
lowering the standard of your college down. I do know
the local who are too generous with their students.
There
must always be external examiners to validate the
grades.
Colleges and universities that teach technologies must
be rigorous in research and development. But it does not
happen that way. When I talked to Polytechnic people
, they said Poly is not a research
institutions. When I talked to vocational teachers about
creative project buildup, they said the current syllabus
and teaching procedures give them no time and space to
do anything extra.
Today
our graduates could not express themselves in English.
Partly it is not because of the universities but the
attitudes of the students and the parents. They thought
learning and speaking English do not make them patriots.
I
browsed several web sites on topic 'does college and
university education make a better man ? ' Almost 95
percent do not agree. Quality of a man does not come
from his level of education but from his experience.
Steeve
Job and Steve Wozniak were college drop outs. Tan Boon
Siew wasn't even well educated in Chinese.
What
make a college great among other things is the quality
of the manager running it. Secondly the type of teachers
the university employ.

Malaysian history . . .and its
“politics” since “Independence”
and a great Biographie . . ."
University of Qatar

DR. MOHAMED ZAIN MOHAMED.pdf
Error! Filename not specified.
Contributed by Krishna Singh
Books have
been written about Tun Daim Zainuddin (pic
above), but not many people know who
the real Daim is. He is famous for being
taciturn. Everyone knows that Daim is
the silent type; so silent, in fact,
that the victims of his scheming and
conniving have fallen like ten pins
without ever knowing what hit them. He
has, on the quiet, made a career of
shooting poison darts, laying booby
traps. and knifing friend or foe in the
back. His hand is never seen, but his
mark is everywhere. Truth to tell, he
has been at the root of many national
crises, but his name has never been
smudged, thanks to the wealth he wields
and his bond of friendship with Dr.
Mahathir.
Most members of Umno's new generation
are aware that Daim is an acquisitive
millionaire and a macho man with a taste
of young women, but they concede him
these weaknesses because they see in him
a clean and competent Economic Adviser
to the Government. But the generation of
Harun Idris, Musa Hitam and Manan Othman
to name just a few of the old hands -
they are the ones to ask in order to
discover who the real Daim is. It was
Datuk Harun who plucked Daim up from the
depths of failure in the salt business.
Daim's wife, Mahani and Harun's wife,
Salmah were good friends and an
influential pair in the early 1970s. It
was wife power that moved Harun to give
Daim 160 acres of prime Kampung Pandan
land. And thus Syarikat Maluri was born.
There is no use speculating over how
much Daim paid Harun. After all, the two
were fast friends. For the gory details,
just ask Low Kiok Bow or Thamby Chik.
They can relate how Daim cheated a land
broker and greased Selangor state
executive councillor and Mahathir's
brother-in-law, Ahmad Razali for that
piece of land.
Of course, Daim still had to pay for the
land. In those days, it was not easy to
borrow from a bank. Hence, he was forced
to corrupt Bank Bumiputra. Lorraine
Osman and Rais Saniman know how much he
spent. Manan Othman can no doubt confirm
the figure, he was so close to Daim that
they tried to share a girl friend, with
Manan often borrowing the bedroom at
Daim's office in Taman Maluri.
Daim's elevation as Senator and,
subsequently, Minister of Finance, was
part of Mahathir's strategic plan.
Mahathir's choice should surprise no
one, after all the two were intimate
friends from the same kampung in
Seberang Perak, Alor Setar. Upon
becoming Prime Minister on 16 July,
1981, the first thing on Mahathir's mind
was how to sideline his archenemy,
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. Daim told
everyone he had no interest in politics,
but all the while he was confident of
getting the Finance Minister's job after
a stint with the Senate. A few months
after joining the Senate, Daim became
Chairman of Fleet, which owned the New
Straits Times. In 1984, he finally got
his dream job and became the third most
important man in the Federal Cabinet,
after the Prime Minister and his deputy.
Musa Hitam, the Deputy Prime Minister,
was at first oblivious of the closet
ties between Mahathir and Daim.
Innocently, he expressed to Mahathir his
disquiet over Daim's wheeling and
dealing, particularly his award of
projects and contracts to his own
associates and cronies. It must have
baffled him when his complaints fell on
deaf ears although he was Deputy Prime
Minister, he has no say when it came to
economic matters, particularly
privatisation and the assignment (to
supporters) of economic projects. How
disappointed Musa must have been to find
that Daim could not care less about his
effort to help his supporters secure
some projects or contracts. Daim
succeeded in making millionaires of such
cronies of Wan Azmi, Halim Saad,
Tajuddin Ramli,
Samsuddin Hassan, Razali Rahman and Tan
Sri Basir, but Musa in the end was cast
off as a poor ex-DPM. Musa once
complained to Mahathir that Daim had
stolen a number of supporters' project
proposals, but again Mahathir ignored
him. These were the first acts in the
eventual breakup of the Mahathir-Musa
partnership. As the interests of
Mahathir and Razaleigh bloated, Musa got
squeezed out.
Many Umno members assume that Razaleigh
is Musa's number one enemy. In fact, the
reason for the 1986 split in Umno must
fall on Daim. It was he who drove Musa
to the edge until he had no choice but
to resign. Again, Daim's man of few
words demeanour to his advantage. Few
knew of his behind-the-scenes role in
that Umno rupture not many more know it
today. One really should not wonder why
Musa called a truce Razaleigh and the
two decided to collaborate in the 1987
fight, the one that eventually caused
Umno to be outlawed. At that time, Daim
was almost invincible, what support
coming from such strongmen as Sanusi
Junid and Anwar Ibrahim. The comradeship
of the three was rock solid, and the
Musa-Razaleigh camp could do nothing
except to make a joke of it by giving
them the nicknames AIDS.
The formation of the new Umno, Daim and
Mahathir had first to get rid of the
Lord President, Tun Salleh Abas. Again,
Daim was the chief plotter in the
sacking of the pious and respected Tun
Salleh, and his replacement with Tun
Hamid Omar, a playboy and chronic
gambler, but Mahathir's and Daim's
schoolmate. The appointment of Tun Hamid
Omar triggered the collapse of the
integrity and the independence of the
judiciary.
Finance Minister, Daim persuaded
Mahathir to give the Economic Planning
Unit and Treasury full power in
implementing the privatisation policy.
Hence, it was no longer necessary to
call for tenders for government
projects. Instead, the projects were
awarded directly to favoured companies.
And so began the era of wealth
accumulation by him and his cohorts. The
United Engineers Company, bought for
RM2, changed into a multi-million-
ringgit corporation. As Finance
Minister, Daim practically ordered banks
to lend to companies that he himself
owned. And no Daim crony every
complained of difficulty in securing
bank credit. Indeed, bankers lived in
fear of Daim. Having appointed Wan Azmi
and Basir to head Malayan Banking and
Bank Bumiputra, he would give any
project to any of his cronies because
funding was not an issue.
If those physical projects were not
enough, Daim also took every opportunity
to take wealth from the share market as
well. Every time the Treasury approved a
company for listing on the stock
exchange, Daim cronies received their
lion's shares. That was how Southern
Bank, Resort World, Sports Toto,
Berjaya, Tanjong and scores of other
blue chip firms landed with Daim and
Company. Once, when share values were
high, Daim boasted among friends that
his visible wealth alone totalled RM65
billion. To shut the mouth of Barisan
Nasional leaders, Daim gave lucrative
projects to Samy Vellu and Ling Liong
Sik so that their children could be
big-shots in batches.
Daim managed to fool Umno members into
believing that Mahathir would not let
him go although he had asked to be
relieved of his Cabinet post on a number
of occasions. With Musa and Razaleigh
out of the picture, Daim could grab as
much wealth as he wanted without even
Mahathir stopping him. Besides, he was
Umno's treasurer and he could make it
look as if the companies he controlled
were those in which the party had a
stake.
Daim's avarice damaged not only his own
image as finance minister, but also
Mahathir's and Malaysia 's reputation
with the international community. It is
said that he used to demand exorbitant
fees for himself in negotiating
contracts involving foreign suppliers.
The chairmen of Japan 's two biggest
banks - the Bank of Tokyo and Sanwa Bank
- once complained to Mahathir that his
Finance Minister demanded commissions
that were too high when negotiating yen
loans. Margaret Thatcher, too, has
complained about Daim's role as a
commissioned agent. He had - or still
has - accounts in Zurich , London , Hong
Kong, Tokyo , Singapore , Caymen Island
, Channel Island and Virgin Island .
Indeed, instead of keeping his billions
in Malaysia , he has stashed them
overseas.
With his immense wealth and far-reaching
influence, Daim eventually became a
burden that Mahathir could no longer
bear. In every deal he made, there was
something in it for himself. It was not
beneath him even to conspire with Lee
Kuan Yew to snatch KTM land in Singapore
. The Malaysian Cabinet had no knowledge
of this. But this issue of Malaysia
being cheated by Lee Kuan Yew and Daim
is far from over.
Mahathir eventually realised that he had
to end Daim's lordship over the Finance
Ministry. And so he told him to quit.
Mahathir worried that if Daim continued
as Finance Minister, complaints would
come not only from Vincent Tan, Ananda
Krishnan, Arumugam and other members of
the Malaysian business elite, but also
from foreign leaders. Signs of a Daim-related
scandal were ominous and it could break
anytime in Japan or Britain , therefore,
Daim had to go.
Daim's resignation was planned such that
it would not appear as if he had been
sacked. Indeed, it does not make sense
why a powerful Finance Minister, rich
and in control of so many public
companies, would suddenly quit simply
because he had lost interest in the job.
The truth is that he was ordered to
resign. Observers will recall that
Mahathir's first comment on the
so-called reaction was, 'He has asked
several times for permission to resign,
and I have finally allowed it. I hope
Daim would not leave the country after
resigning'. That statement was pregnant
with meaning. Mahathir knew Daim was
sulking. So did Anwar and Sanusi.
Mahathir retained Daim as Umno Treasurer
for a good reason, he wanted to ensure
the safety of Umno money, a lot of which
was under Daim's control.
But Daim who holds so many of Mahathir's
secrets, is only a sly one. After
resigning, he ran off to live in his San
Francisco residence. He told the
Malaysian public he wanted to study at
Harvard, but in fact he wanted to leave
Malaysia . Mahathir, who was familiar
with Daim's antics, pleaded with him to
come back, saying he need him to advise
on economic matters. Daim returned and
announced that Mahathir had named him
Economic Adviser to the Government.
Rafidah asked Mahathir to confirm this,
but all she got was silence. Daim was
never formally appointed as Economic
Adviser, a post which Tun Raja Mohar
once held. The appointment is the
prerogative of the Public Services
Department. Daim gave himself the job.
To keep Daim happy, Mahathir allowed him
to open an office at the Economic
Planning Unit, and this strengthened the
public perception that he was still in
control as far as economic affairs were
concerned.
When he was to told to resign as Finance
Minister, Daim asked Mahathir to appoint
Anwar Ibrahim to the job. Obviously, he
thought this would help to ensure that
his skeletons would remain closeted. He
warned Mahathir of the peril that
Rafidah would be to both of them: the
secrets they shared would be uncovered.
Daim also persuaded Mahathir to appoint
Mustapha Mohammad as Anwar's deputy
because these two could be depended on
to fill up the holes he had left gaping.
Anwar is nobody's fool, but he
sacrificed his idealism to protect his
towkay.
As far as we know, no Finance Minster in
this world has retired a billionaire,
except Daim. In the book Daim yang Diam:
Sebuah Biographi (Daim the Silent: A
Biography), Daim explains his
retirement: 'I am happy in retirement.
It was too heavy a responsibility. In
truth, I love the business world.
Business is in my blood. I love to make
money. I know how to do it. I can do it
just by sitting in this chair. On a
lucky day, I can make millions.'
Friend of Soros
According to an internal bank analysis,
collaborated by the corporate community,
and from Daim crony Amin Shah, Daim's
wealth, in ringgit and foreign
currencies kept overseas currently
amounts to RM20 billion. With so much
money at his disposal, Daim can
manipulate the Kuala Lumpur Stock
Exchange. He showed his hand in 1991,
just to prove how much influence he
wielded. After selling off his stocks,
he made a statement to the effect that
the market would crash. And crash it
did. As we can all recall, even Mahathir
could not help but make a wry remark
when Daim boasted that he invested in
KLSE only for pocket money. But to his
good friend, Daim said he could turn in
profit on RM90 million a day when the
market was up. When the market plummeted
in October 1991 Daim bought back his
share on the cheap. When the market
turned bullish again 1995 and 1996, Daim
made billions of ringgit from it. This,
then, is what the work of an economic
adviser amounts to.
So it turns out that Soros is not the
only big time market manipulator and
currency dealer. Daim met Soros twice in
London when the ringgit was being hotly
traded. Anyway, when the ringgit fell
below RM4 to the US dollar, Mahathir
asked Daim for help and, according to a
source in Singapore, he lost RM1 billion
trying to prop up the Malaysian
currency. To lose that much in currency
trading, imagine how much money he had
at his disposal.
The falls in currency and share values
put Mahathir in a feverish panic. He
knew his policies and his own
belligerent attitude were partly to
blame. Seeing Mahathir in such a
frenzied state, Daim recommended that he
declare a state of emergency to enable
him to restore the economy and at the
same time, bury the corpses that were
beginning to stink. We hail the Chief
Secretary to the Government and the
Solicitor-General for opposing the
move.. If Daim's plan had been followed,
Mahathir would turn dictator and the
Malaysian economy would be utterly
ruined. Having failed to declare an
emergency, Mahathir set up the National
Economic Action Council, headed by Daim,
with the Economic Planning Unit as its
Secretariat. The original plan was to
give the NEAC complete autonomy, but the
Cabinet ministers opposed this for fear
that they would lose any vestige of
power they had left. Eventually, the
council became merely an advisory body,
with the Cabinet having final say on its
recommendations.
The establishment of the council was a
wedge between Anwar and Daim. Thus, two
old friends who had together stood
behind Mahathir against Musa were now
turned against each other. All of the
council's recommendations were rejected
by the Cabinet and Bank Negara. Daim
openly assailed Bank Negara for
dismissing his proposals, such as those
relating to interest rates and credit
control. We salute the Bank Negara
Governor for maintaining a prudent
monetary policy in the face of Daim's
bullying and insults. Unlike Daim and
his cohorts, Bank Negara's officials are
not self-serving. Daim's appointment to
the NEAC was a major national mistake.
Going by press reports of its
deliberations so far, the NEAC's sole
preoccupation is with saving mega
corporations from bankruptcy. No doubt,
these are Daim-related companies. Daim
has yet to show any concern over the
rise in the price of chillies, or the
leaps in fish prices or how the price of
rice has boiled over. Neither has he
talked about small businesses in their
death throes. Class F contractors going
bankrupt or kampung road projects being
abandoned. In his dictionary, there are
no entries for the small man's worries,
nothing about low-cost houses, water
cuts or study funds for the children of
poor Malays. In fact, it contains only
billion size figures. While the
Malaysian economy is close to ruin, Daim
remains a billionaire, living a life of
glamour, jet setting with his new wife
Naimah and the attractive Josephine , an
Indian lass who helps him run one of his
firms, the International Malaysian Bank.
We have merely given a sketch of who the
real Daim is. A thorough account will
soon be available in book form. We
recommend the book to Umno members,
especially those with big ambitions,
because they will learn much from its
fantastic but true tales of economic and
political intrigues. We denounce the
likes of Vincent Tan and Tan Phek Khiing
for land-grabbing, but perhaps we should
ask the Menteri Besar of Johor and the
Menteri Besar of Kedah how much land
Daim has taken. Ask Sanusi how much Daim
paid to the Kedah government for 12,000
acres in Sungai Petani and how much
profit he made from them. For 12,000
acres, Osman Arof had to be sacrificed.
The true story of the Daim-Sanusi
conspiracy in Kedah will be exposed in
the book.
Umno is at a crossroads and has to
decide wisely where it is going. One
road heads to glory, where stability and
democratic practice will abide. The
other leads to division, autocracy and
ultimately, utter destruction. The call
for reform, which used to be made only
in whispers at small, secretive
gatherings, is becoming louder. Umno
members, showing that they can no longer
contain their restiveness and
frustration, have begun to openly debate
the need for change, even at party
conventions. Can there be a clearer
indication that they have reached their
tether's end, that they can no longer
stomach the leadership's undemocratic
attitude and the prevalence - whether in
the party or the government - of
favouritism, cronyism, nepotism, graft
and other misdeeds? Malay nationalism is
dead and materialism and egoism are
running amok.
We cannot depend on the Umno Supreme
Council to initiate reform because few
of the members have the guts to speak
up. In fact, the council has lately been
transformed into a monologue theatre.
But of course even a monologue can flop
without good supporting players - fools,
clowns, jesters, attendants and the
oh-so- important flatterers. As far as
these bit players are concerned, Umno's
ideals and principles are not as
important as their jobs. This
keep-your-mouth- shut syndrome serves
only to embolden the party leadership in
its conceit, arrogance and haughtiness.
A president has become a dictator. Woe
are the Malays and Umno. What is to
become of them? That is a question only
Umno members can answer.

OUR HISTORY
There are many truths
that we like to suppress or even want to change
them and anger at those who pointed at them. We don't
like history that tells the truth and the bad things we
do. We attacked those who revealed the reality. We
punished the whistle blowers and others who championed
the real fact of history.
If
it is a game of survival or a battle to survive then let
it be a battle. In a war there must be computation for
all the possibilities. The impasse is not without a
sacrifice.
There is a history of UMNO and the history of races, the
history of colonization and nationalism,. Nobody likes to
know the root. Mahyuddin said forget the past. Past is
past.
But
the history of robbing does not end. Not only the
politicians robbed, even government officials do it. The big
purchases of equipments are full of hanky panky
resulting in a huge wastage. And they are trying to
punish those who leak the truth.
Each of us has things that we don't want to remember and
things we want the world to know. |
So far there is no history written yet on the emergence
of Mamak in Malaysia. It would be interesting to know
how they grew up to be wealthy, the different between
Syed and Sayed, which if of the Arabic and which of the
Mamak. Don't we want to know how Syed Mokhtar became so
wealthy ?
I
believe that the history of each Minister must be dug
and told to all. You will be surprise to know how many
thieves and robbers you are worshipping. I would always
remember the old man's saying about the two races that
God will cast to hell, namely the Jews and the Malays.
For the Malays, he said, they continue to vote the
people who knocked and kicked them.
The
great swindler is now going around and telling lies to
the people, promising the hell of the goodies. Sadly
enough people just don't know the history and the
ongoing robberies that are taking place. One robber puts
another robber to take care of public funds.
History and truth can be very nasty. But it must be told
and be known. Our generation may want to know our root
and what we are capable of other than robbing.

Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska
Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or
Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee
awards the Prize in Peace.[3]
Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a
monetary award that has varied throughout the
years.[2]
In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel
Prizes were given 150,782
SEK,
which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December
2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize
amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4]
The awards are presented in
Stockholm
in an annual ceremony on December 10, the
anniversary of Nobel's death.[5]
As of 2011, 826
individuals and 20 organizations have been
awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of
the
Nobel Memorial Prize in
Economic Sciences.[6]
Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their
governments to accept the Nobel Prize.
Adolf Hitler
forbade three Germans,
Richard Kuhn
(Chemistry, 1938),
Adolf Butenandt
(Chemistry, 1939), and
Gerhard Domagk
(Physiology or Medicine, 1939), from accepting
their Nobel Prizes, and the government of the
Soviet Union
pressured
Boris Pasternak
(Literature, 1958) to decline his award. Two
Nobel laureates,
Jean-Paul Sartre
(Literature, 1964) and
Lê Ðức Thọ
(Peace, 1973), declined the award; Sartre
declined the award as he declined all official
honors, and Lê declined the award due to the
situation Vietnam was in at the time.
Six laureates have
received more than one prize; of the six, the
International Committee of
the Red Cross
has received the
Nobel Peace Prize
three times, more than any other.[7]
Among the 826 Nobel laureates, 43 have been
women; the first woman to win a Nobel Prize was
Marie Curie,
who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903.[8]
She was also the first person (male or female)
to win two Nobel Prizes, the second being the
Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded in 1911.[7]
In years in which the
Nobel Prize is not awarded due to external
events or a lack of nominations, the prize money
is returned to the funds delegated to the
relevant prize.[9]
The Nobel Prize was not awarded between 1940 and
1942 due to the outbreak of
World War II.[10]
How many are from China, Korea or
Japan ?
How many
are from the world's renounce universities ? There is no
correlation between Nobel Prize winners and quality
education.

BERSIH 3
Why finally the
police and Najib stopped the peaceful sit up by the
Bersih 3 ? My intelligent conjecture is
the report from Special Branch is not favorable to the
government. What is favorable and what is not ?
The initial
thought was the number of the sitters was small. The
government would use the small number to discredit the
opposition parties saying the people do not support
Bersih and PR. That would be very favorable.
But the
number turn out to be extremely large. Huge support went
to the sitters from all over the nation. Perkasa has set out
to steer trouble probably with wild gangsters. What is
likely to happen there will be a bloody conflict
resulted in severe damage and PERKASA would lose the
street fight. The police know that Bersih's sit up would
be peaceful but terrorism from the anti-Bersih could
cause a deadly clash.
Najib has no
choice but to order for the cleanup of the electoral
roll for the clean and fair election. Clean election
does not guarantee the opposition will win. BN should
not be fearful of losing. Even if Bersih sitters reach
the 50000 marks, it is nothing compared to the total
voters. |
There will
be no spring like the Arabian countries. Mahathir said
so. From the track record the hooligans would spring up
from PERKASA or UMNO's camp. The frog tried to make it
racial, forgetting the Malays have been frustrated with
UMNO and corruption and the plundering of the nation's
wealth.
If the
sittings are allowed there could be no space at the
Dataran. Only the SB knows the estimated numbers who
would attend from all over the country. Could the figure
be alarming, much more than my 50000 estimation ?
The world is
watching every moment of it. Ambiga is a world's figure.
Clinton is watching her very closely. She doesn't have
to buy popularity nor pay millions to be published in
foreign newspapers.
If Najib
does not order in the cleanup then he would not get the
respect of all Malaysians. Once the respect is lost,
there will be name calling. Maha Firaun and Maha Zalim
is still found on the website. Life without honor is a
life full of shame.
Clean
election does not mean BN's defeat. Don't be intimidated
by Bersih 3 sit ups.

GE13 SHOULD BE NOW
Now that Anwar's popularity is on the way down and Najib
is picking up, it is a good time for the GE13. Najib can
expect a landslide. Even Mahathir is of the view that
now is the time. And I think June will be the right
moment.
I
think Anwar and Najib should not be the issue. The
leadership comes later. What is more important is what
has been done to the country and the people and what
will done again in the next five years. The people
should not be influenced by the eloquence of the
politicians but by the experiences they have had felt.
Those who feel they lead a better life than before
should stay foot with the current government. And those
who have to strive every other day for the daily bread
should cast the government far aside.
How
bad Anwar is being displayed and exposed, it cannot
overwrite the great amount of public funds that have
been plundered recklessly. Is the public going to say
'Amen' to the lost billions. Are the people going to say
'Amen' to great inefficiency of the governments that
opened up our nation's secret to our enemies and
allowing the jet engine being stolen away that easy ?
Are the Malays happy with the demise of Bank Bumiputera
and the Malay reserve ? Do the people want the PKZ, NFC
and other wastes to be forgotten ? And say 'Amen' to
everyone of them just because Anwar is bad ?
If
Anwar is bad does it made Shahrizat's family good ?
Those responsible for Teoh Beng Hock's death good ?
Those who stole billions OK ?
I
would not worry about Anwar. Without Anwar or Najib
there are many hundred others who are able. Just throw
both out. |
In
the last GE I never expect that BN can suffer a big
lost. All along I have been thinking that the Malays are
easily fooled. An when Anwar was talking of forming a
government I thought it was a 'Gempar Keling'. Though it
did not materialize I found later there were real
dissidents who were about to jump ship if their demands
were not met.
The
truth is we never can tell. You can guess the coming of
the Tsunami but you can't guess the earth quake.
BN is
working hard to twisting and control people's mind, to
let them forget the bad and controversial issues and
bringing in other irrelevant stuffs. Those who are
strong enough could not be pulled off the track. PR has
to display BN's follies continuously to keep people in
tracked and not to fall into the trap of the new issue.
BN
has professionals working for the party and paid the
body handsomely . Mind you the Jews are extremely smart
people and they are still in there planning for the win.

POPULATION INCREASE
The classical economic theory still hold the truth about
food and population. So far I don't remember any
economist talked about human greed and inconsideration.
The theory on capital and resources could not be
separated from the evil of human nature.
There has been a quest to increase food production to
feed the world. The commendable intent is spoiled
by greedy nature of human being. The food price is
increased making life so very difficult to many.
Population increase creates scarcity of resources. A
piece of land could cause much havoc. Family breaks up.
People push each other to get it. Conflicts loomed
between the have and the have not. It resulted in racial
and political issues.
Land is still in abundance in North America and New
Zealand. It is getting more and more scarce in this
country. Land for agriculture is turned into hotels,
motels, and super market. New houses were sold to the
foreigners. The locals have to struggle.
Competitions are increasing. Students compete for
scholarships and places in universities.
Young
people compete for jobs and many are jobless.
Prostitutes multiply. Crimes levitate. |
It
is true that the GDP increase as the population
increases. Firms have more market opened up and can get
cheaper price for labor. Telcos are enjoying much
surplus of profit.
Population increase and poverty resulted in mass
migration. Wealthy countries like USA, Europe and
Australia are the recipients. In no time those countries
will be polluted by the Asians. The new migrants will
claim their right and later will end up in social
conflicts. Tension grows day by day.
There is a belief that the world population must be
checked. The classical theory said the world population
will be checked by war, natural disaster like earth
quakes. People have been silent about it. But today the
topic re-emerged. 1/3 of the world population must be
reduced deliberately or otherwise.
Thus the question is who must die and who must live ?
How to reduce them and in what manner ?
Who
do you think must die and who must live ? I don't want
to know the answer.
But
I am very sceptical about the various earthquake
recently though the purpose if the Iraq war may have a
different motives.
Weather modification, magnetization using radio waves
and a few other weapons could be deployed to kill people
without being
realized. The philosophy is for the better world and
those who live. |
China is one of the very few countries who still control
the population and is monitoring the marriage pattern.
There is quite an alarm when women are still single at
an old age. And Singapore was worried about the ageing
population once.
Over population combines with greed would cause problems
to the poor citizens. Prices of commodities also depend
on the scarcity which is being created by the excessive
demand.
Once we have the Family Planning Unit. But Mahathir
announced that the bigger the family is the better will
be for the country and there will be a tax relief.
Mahathir is still alive and kicking. They called him a
genius and a statement. While many see the implication
of his policy he sees nothing to it. Mahathir can afford
to spend a thousand ringgit a day while a large number
of kampong folks are struggling hard to buy a packet of
rice for the family.
The
plundering of land is at a critical and alarming stage.
Younger kids will have to compete hard to own a lodging.
Jobs which were once considered filthy are waited by the
thousands. Lobbying is everywhere.
There will be a point where the expansions will halt.
Now they already chased people out to acquire land.
There won't be a secret area for military bases and
police stations. Soon we will be living in a world where
we will stab each other's back.
We
will pay more for everything.

LEARNING HOW TO MAKE PASSWORD
I
have never been good at programming. And never
concentrate much on the user name and password stuffs. I
am too lazy to look for literature about it either.
Actually I never know how to create and design
passwords. I am still wondering how they do it.
Just
for fun I decided to explore. I created a MySql database
with three fields, name, password and program name.
I know that the program name has to be very difficult to
be remembered and no one can ever guess it.
I
have a hard time remembering databases and field names.
So I have to make sure I can see the databases when I
run the program.
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim con As ADODB.Connection
Set con = New ADODB.Connection
con.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51
Driver};uid=root;PWD=9m2ar;port=3306;server=127.0.0.1"
con.Open
Adodc1.ConnectionString = con
Adodc1.RecordSource = "show databases"
Adodc1.Refresh
Do Until Adodc1.Recordset.EOF
List1.AddItem Adodc1.Recordset(0).Value
Adodc1.Recordset.MoveNext
Loop
con.Close
End Sub
I
need to see the table names because at time with no
reason I would give funny names to them. And listing is
shown below
Private Sub List1_Click()
Adodc1.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51
Driver};uid=root;PWD=9m2ar;port=3306;server=127.0.0.1;database="
& List1 & ";"
Adodc1.RecordSource = "show tables"
Adodc1.Refresh
List2.Clear
Do Until Adodc1.Recordset.EOF
List2.AddItem Adodc1.Recordset(0).Value
Adodc1.Recordset.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub
The
codes below consists of two options; to change the
passwords or to open up a web page. In the example below
the browser's url is deliberately given as 9m2ar.com.
The actual one should be the content of text3 which is a
long and funny name. |
Private Sub Command2_Click()
If kod1 = 1 Then
'
layari web
Adodc1.RecordSource = "select * from " & List2 & " where
trim(" + Adodc1.Recordset.Fields(0).Name + ") like '" +
Trim(Text4) + "' and trim(" +
Adodc1.Recordset.Fields(1).Name + ") like '" +
Trim(Text5) + "'"
Adodc1.Refresh
If Adodc1.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 Then wb.Navigate
"9m2ar.com" 'Text3
End If
If kod1 = 2 Then
'
tukar kata laluan
Adodc1.RecordSource = "select * from " + List2 + " where
trim(namaname) like '" & Trim(Text4) & "' and
trim(passsulit) like '" & Trim(Text5) & "'"
Adodc1.Refresh
If Adodc1.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 Then Frame2.Visible
= True
End If
Adodc1.Refresh
End Sub
May be I have to read more on how to design and
manage passwords. But as you see programming is
as fun as Morse code. It is much more simpler.
Self-taught won't take me anywhere. But it is
just enjoyable as much as the other hobbies.
I believe my way of password creation is not
tight. At least I put a thought to it; long
application name to avoid guessing.
Yet I have to translate the codes into asp. What
is written here is in Visual Basic. There isn't
much different between both of them. I know to
be more serious I need to go into the encryption
part. Right now it is beyond my mind to
comprehend what it is. O saw the word SSL many
time but it is more than Greek to me.
We used to say in Ham Radio
'Slowly...slowly...catch the monkey'

THE PRAISE OF A SATAN
When millions practice satanic rituals, chose and praise
a Satan as their god, what else a non heathen can say ?
The end of the world is near is the answer.
A man
can get pregnant. Laws to legalize robberies were
enacted and passed. The cloning of human beings have
become reality. People will do anything for money.
It is
difficult to distinguish between a man and a Satan from
the outset. You have to have a deal with him to know
one. An alert person could see one by reading the
newspapers.
When
we look at politicians you have to know their past and
the covert activities to detect the true identity. Yet
we hear people are worshipping and praising the Devil.
Each
day the public were robbed. Robbers were protected by
law. They robbed your land and your money. We are all
helpless. They shut your mouth by giving you RM500 and
RM100. Poor man pays more for the insurance than the
wealthy man. Telcos eat up your money in many ways. And
the Land Acquisition Act is the worst of all. |
Yet
the evil is praised and worshipped. The people are
forced to swallow the daily lies.
What
is if it is not the nearing of the end, where morality
among mankind has vanished. Public and free sex is
shameless, cheating are rife among the corporate bodies
on the public, each officer work for an office rather
than the clients welfare.
A
Satan says he is a savior and pointed at others as a
devil. And the general public says 'AMEN'. Amen to
corruption. AMEN to plundering under the name of
development. AMEN to the silent robbery of their own
money.
In 1950's I already heard my religious teachers |
talked
about the end, about the signs, about the people. I
myself read on the sale of the God's word in the market
places for a few cents when nearing comes.
The
earth shook. To many it is a warning. To some it is a
common phenomena. But when it last shook the people seek
for God's help by appealing through the reading of the
Holly Book and the Praise of the Almighty through the
loud speakers in Aceh and else where.
We
are waiting for the Savior, both the Muslims and the
Christians. Where will Isa show himself. The Muslims
never believe that Isa was killed nor dead. God raised
him to the sky and will send him back. The Jews claims
they kill Isa.
Certainly it could not be Khairy Jamaluddin or Ibrahim
Ali. Or does Ibrahim Ali think he is the Savior himself
? Is he not ?
I
urge you not to follow and praise the Satan. And learn
how to recognize one. Remember, once a Satan, always a
Satan. They robbed you before and they will always
robbed you ever. A sinner can repent and asked for God's
forgiveness but a Satan will never.

PROTON
PREVE - I still think Preve is
lack of quality as I found it a little hard to open the
front compartment from the driver's seat though the
internal design is almost BMW. For RM73K it certainly is
better than Perdana. I don't own Perdana nor BMW because
I can't afford them. If I were still at work I would
certainly buy one of the PREVEs. The monthly payment is
about RM800 and the down payment is about RM8K. And 9
years is a long time. I don't think I will live that
long anymore.
I told
my ailing wife about it and her response was not
supportive. There is no point buying, she said, because
we won't be able to travel far with it. She is on
dialysis and I can't leave her alone with a maid at
home. The battle within myself is very strong. The
desire is too great. I have to have a strong discipline
not to purchase it.
What
if UMNO asked me to promote the party in return of a
Preeve ? Then I will have to turn away from hell and
choose the heaven.

FATE OF NAJIB
Someone rang me up recently and
asked me several questions about the future and about
Najib. I am sure some of you may have received the same
phone call. I tried to answer them rationally and put my
bias aside.
The hardest to
answer was 'Is Najib fair to all races ?' If you have
two kids, try to be fair to both, one will not feel
happy. Equality means different things to different
people. Putting to debate on fairness DAP and PERKASA
will not agree with each other.
Whenever I
bought gifts to friends one or two will get something
better and more expensive than the others. The
recipients themselves are different and not equal.
Teachers are not always equal. Some put more effort than
the others.
Nevertheless
unfairness is easily felt when the sources of wealth
from the public were not equally distributed or given to
it's own kind. UMNO has been practicing this most of the
time.
My response the
question was brief. I can't answer it within a short
frame of time but fairness is very difficult to manage.
Whatever you do there can never be fairness.
21/04/2012 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
But Najib has
no confident and always in fear of losing his post. He
has been struggling very hard to be popular both local
and abroad. He tried hard to clear his image in
Altantuya's case.
I am trying to compute on Najib's
future as a Prime Minister. I have a haunch that Najib
will lose if the election is clean. It is Lynas that
will bring him down. It would be interpreted as Najib is
willing to kill the people in favor of a corporate body.
No amount of money can make people trade life for
wealth.
But I didn't tell the one who phoned me. I just said
Najib has no confident and always in fear of being
beaten.
The second last
question was which and what media source I sought to get
information. I replied I made my own conclusion after
reading all newspapers.
The last was whether I received
any goodie from the government. My answer was a pension
and he hooked off. I never received the RM100 nor RM500,
and not even the flood money.
To me a Medicare for my wife
dialysis and monthly medicine are something that drive
me to feel obliged. In USA you can die or go to hell if
you are sick without any insurance.
But with the good deeds of the
government I could not |
say 'YES' to
corruption, inefficiency, greed, robbing the pauper and
pay the wealthy. I can't condone lies and cheats. I
can't stand the bad mouth of the UMNO supporters, the
arrogance and the robbers.
I can't shut
off my mouth when seeing the manner our money was
plundered, of how billions taken by Mahathir in what
they called in legal ways.
I can't stand
the mouth of Ibrahim Ali as well as his face his PERKASA
and the sight of him.
Worst of all is
the dirty tactic used by UMNO.
Though I am not
on the opposition camp I am not one of UMNO myself. But
I know as everyone else that oppositions are not the
enemy of the country. They too have all the right as
what UMNO has.
Of course if
the opposition wins some faces will have to be tried.
Mamak Kutty will be the first in the list, followed by
those who manipulate judiciaries and laws to protect the
criminals.
Najib's fate
has been pre-determined. Untung Sabut Timbul, Untung
Batu Tenggelam. |
THEY
CALL IT EFFICIENCY ? The last
time I topped up my pre-paid Celcom was at the Giant. A
sheet of paper was printed with numbers to be ounched The number was long and
the process was hazardous. I usually paid
RM50 for every top-up. The company I used to go moved
away and I have to opt for new vendor and new method. I
don't remember the date of the last prepaid but I knew
the credit shrink so fast. The balance was message twice
for every call and call without answers were charged
too.
It
was yesterday my iPhone message from Celcom showed my
last balance. It IS RM9.98. The next minute I tried to
call my friend it said my credit was insufficient. I
need to know the answer. This morning I went to the
Celcom HQ in Alor Setar. The lady officer asked for my
number. She said my balance was SEVEN cent. I must have
used it to browse the internet. I said I have a Celcom
broadband. She asked me to check my balance using my
iPhone. It showed EIGHT cents. I asked her to explain
the three discrepancies. She can't explain it and sent
me to see another officer.
I
repeated my narration. Again he asked me to check my
balance. It still showed eight cent. In the system it
showed seven cent. Like the previous officer he blamed
my iPhone for the possibility of having the internet data
on. He went on to explain that there is a delay between
the call and the data entry. I told him about online
data entry which is almost immediate and even if there
is a delay it could not have been a few hours. He too
could not explain the difference. I agreed that he would
not be able to explain but requested him to put it in a
report for further investigation.
The
SEVEN and EIGHT cent makes a lot of difference and it is
a big error. The error is either genuine made by the
computer programmer or it is deliberate made by the
vendors to steal customers money. Whatever way it
reflects the image of Mahathir and UMNO. You call it
efficient ? You call it World Class ? Whoever run Celcom
is either a nut or arrogance or too much. Why Mahathir and
UMNO ? These were the people who favor the corporate
bodies over the citizens.
Before this EIGHT and SEVEN cents I encountered a Celcom Indian lady who said my account was ZERO. I
immediately responded demanding for the month or any
time my account showed ZERO because it had not been at the
null status. Another lady emailed me saying 'sorry'.
This time is something more big. The discrepancies
indicate a major programming error and it seems to rob
the customer. Robbing in any way is a crime, whether it
comes from Celcom, Maxis or UMNO Ministers.
Please open up the Celcom Web Page to see who run the
company.
Is
this called effiency ?

SHOULD POTO BE YOUR CHOICE ?
If you want to travel with POTO
TRAVEL, think again. POTO has been my first travel
companion. I had been choosing Reliance for a long time
before the Muslim travel agent emerged. It was superb
and I had no grudge against it until my European trip
when more than half of the Malaysian tourists were
turned back home by the English immigration. The
Reliance tour leader did nothing to help them.
I was so happy
with POTO that I chose the agency to send my four
in-laws for an Umrah trip. I made a booking and paid the
agency almost 5 moths ahead. It started with RM8330 but
later reduced to RM7 K plus, competing with the other
agency charging between 5 to 6 K. But ours were with a
three night tour of Istanbul.
From January to
April I had had problem with the agency, mostly with
documents. There was no clear instruction as to the
types that we need to send. First was about the passport
and a week before I was asked to post the marriage
certificate. And on two occasions the agency rang us
about attending the Umrah course not aware we are in
Alor Setar. |
Last night my
brother in law express his unhappiness when the hotel
they were to check in was not cleared. The room was
shabby and there were food left by the previous
occupant. It took more than 3 hours before they were
able to go in. And more so the hotel was not listed as
advertised.
RELIANCE's
hotel was very excellent. There had been no hanky panky
on the part of the tour leader. The price had been very
fair. Even our European trip was about 6K for more than
a week.
POTO needs to
do some post mortem.
I just warned
you to think again when you decide to choose POTO.
My brother in-laws did not go for the river cruise
because they had to pay US50-US60 for the trip. It was
not warned that they had to pay, or otherwise I would
have paid for them. My previous trip to Turkey with POTO
was not free either but I was aware all along what were
optional and what were not.
My another
in law came to see just now. He seemed to be happy with
the trip and narrated only the good things.

BRAHIM
Frankly I don't know what does
Brahim means. The first time I heard about it was from
Idris, 9M2GL,when he went to camping with Mat
Komando. "Iam cooking BrahimKurma," he told me.
And he explained about foodstuff sold in packet
under the brand name of Brahim.
It was at
1 a.m. this morning I felt hungry. Brahim's briyani
came to my rescue. I boiled the water and soak the
packet for about 10 minutes. I finished almost half of
the packet. To my taste it is very delicious.
I presume
Brahim is a name of a person. Someone said he is Pak
Lah's brother. True or not I didn't bother. I felt this
person had help many of us locally and internationally.
If you want
to go to Japan or Korea Brahim is very handy. A journey
of less than a week will take the worry of many Muslims.
Bring along a loaf of bread and Brahim's kurma, rendang
lembu or ayam.
I also never
want to know whether this Brahim is PAS or UMNO as long
as he helps us. The price is reasonable. In Japan you
could pay a fortune for a decent Malaysian style food.
Even if he is a Mamak I will regard him as a Malay. |

WHEN RAJA JEPUN CAME BACK
In the old days we
added fun to local hamming by giving special name to
local and foreign ham friends. Rajamani was known as
Raja Jepun. Rosli was Roti Bakar. Bahar was Sambal
Belacan and me Anak Raja. We had our own philosophy
then. There was no Malay or Chinese hams. We had
Malaysian hams. Then name like Nong Brabo came out.
Eshee would always mentioned it with additional
greetings Cheers Boo Boo and Atoro Kahuni.
Rajamani had been absent from the radio for a long time.
I had a couple of record on 2007 and 2003. He must have
come from somewhere in 2007. The first time I met him
was in the 80's when I went to his abode near the
Angkasa Puri. I was with a T-Shirt and a sleeper. He
looked puzzled when I asked him something not related to
Amateur Radio.
When Idris, Abraham Oxford, Arvatar, Ari, Kuan Kiew and
a few others went silent key Rajamani went missing. One
day after a long pause silence I received a phone call
from him. He was monitoring to my CW contact with VU2MDM
and said I didn't answer a question asked. Indeed I was
glad to know that he did the monitoring despite of his
being absent.
Last night at almost midnight I was shocked to hear him
like the old Raja Jepun "Nine Mike Two Romeo Juliet
breaking in..", like the old Rajamani with unchange
voice and mode of QSO. We had a chat until the my signal
went fading.
9W2TZ is one of those who worked hard to bring back the
old hams though the number is already declining. He
promised he would sit for his CW test if Rajamani came
back regularly, which he defines it as 'at least once a
week'. There were about 6 hams went to Raja's house to
put back his antenna. So we talked like the old time.
English had been our daily chat because we the old hams
viewed it is an international hobby and we want the rest
of the world who heard us would understand and enjoy the
SWLing. SWLs were not few and they monitored. They would
continue the daily monitoring if the topics were lively
and interesting. They would comment so in their QSL
cards.
I
never called him Raja Jepun. It doesn't suit my ears.
But old boy Hanafi would always mentioned Raja Jepun
whenever the topics on the old hams were discussed. And
I hope with the coming back of the old hams the old fun
would revived. But the very very old hams will never be
back. Even Eshee will not be back. And Raja will
make himself available regularly.

PPU THE BEST WORKSHOP FOR
5S COMPETITION
Me in the PPU's staff
room with 5 out of 8 teachers. |
I
promised a prize to PPU for the good work they did for
the workshop. PPU is an air conditioning workshop.
The
other day I followed their big boss from Kuala Lumpur
around to see the workshops, hostels, libraries and
classrooms. I was there because the Director had
just wanted to see me as an old friend.
All
workshops were well organized, neat, clean and
attractive. But I noticed the PPU had an additional item
the rest didn't have. On every freezer and other machine
I saw the date acquired, the price and the suppliers.
I
did not know what to buy for those teachers. There are
eight of them. Finally I decided to buy them a snack
plate each.
I
am very happy that they are pleased with the simple
treats. Six of the teachers worked with me before. I
always remember their dedication and they made me happy.
'Thank you, cikgu for appreciating our work.' But I have
left them since 2000 and retired somewhere else in 2003.

CRISIS CHANGE IN A SCHOOL
A teacher argued with me
about 'Change'. She says that change is towards progress
and when a boss brings changes all subordinates must
accept them. I pointed out that for every change there
will be the formation of perceptions towards it. The
difference in them will cause disagreement or
resentment. One Principal cut down trees because
he deem those as junks and do not look neat. Another
knocked down the wall of a toilet to ensure students
cannot smoke. But the resultant concepts form among
teachers are not as what in the mind of the school
authority.
If progress means change
or change means progress then people even want to change
religious dogma and the content of the Holly Books.
Bibles changed to suit the people. Koran cannot be
altered. Had it not been said the change in the
Malaysian Muslim laws are for the better ? Muslims women
fought for the changed. But the change do not stopped
adultery. It is better for some men to keep mistress
rather than to marry one. Is the same sex marriage is
considered a change for the progress ?
Teachers in a school are
longer than the Principals. Principals change for every
3 to 4 years. They are subjected to different style of
management. They formed a reference point and judge each
Principal whether he is above or below the point. They
see the boss who give every credit to himself, the boss
who give credit to all the staffs and the boss who never
care for anything. Hence the change in the school head
is not always for the better as much as the change of
our nation's leadership.
Teachers on the other
hand could not pressure the boss to follow them. You
have 10 sons you want them to follow you. Firstly
because of the nature of their job. They are
subordinates. They need to follow orders. If the boss
says RED is beautiful they have to agree and follow the
chief. They have to pretend to like RED. And learn to
accept that the change made is for the good.
Whatever the basic of a
school is the students, our main clientele. We have to
know what to do to them, what to make of them, how to
make our efforts pay. We want to give them knowledge, to
shape them to be responsible and honest citizens, to
instill the love and affections towards their parents,
to build up their morale, and to guide them as people
who are to serve the nation. I would give priority to my
students rather than my boss who is crazy for office.
And the nation wants dedicated teachers who understand
their first priority.
When you want to shape
your environment you must have the students in your mind
not the office or to show to general public. Environment
is to create a conducive learning world, to instill the
aesthetic values and the sense of beauty, the
development of healthy emotional growth. When we talk of
a Battle Cry we are talking of a morale and attitudes.
We need to know and apply the positive and negative
re-enforcement at the same time. In short a Principal
must have a vision. I have always told my Director that
'I am more interested in my school than you are. I am
more concerned in it than you are." Sound aggressive but
I did.
We depend so much on the
teachers to share what we have in mind, to let them feel
as we are. Therefore there is no harm to consult them in
many things concerning our plan and program. We call it
a Participative Management. If we need to change why not
hear from all about the changes and let them put their
arguments. Let the changes be our change and not my
change. If the teachers argument is sound then accept
them.
I will always a remember
when I was about to give hints on how to study Morse
code and the person concerned gave me a long lecture of
his way. I stopped short. If you think you are smart
then be it. You may produce nothing till the end. You
may be happy with yourself but it is sad for the nation
to have people like you.
Others cannot be all
wrong and yours is not always right.

THE PLIGHT OF MY MAID
I just acquired a maid
from Northern Sumatra. She has been with me for about
two months. But I didn't ask her much about her family
and background. My wife knows better about her. She has
two daughters working in Malaysia and other children
back in Aceh. I don't remember the name of her town. I
called her Yuni. My wife called her Mini. Her two
daughters about between 19 and 20 years visited her
after a month serving here.
Her
youngest son is 9 years. Her husband passed away after
the last Tsunami.
She
is 40 and strong. The second day I bought a new Koran
for her asking her to complete it by a year or two. I
heard her talking to her mother with tears asking her
mother to take good care of her youngest son. She will
be here for only two years and repeatedly assuring the
family that she is working in the Muslim's house.
She
is working hard, praying hard and my wife is very happy
with her. Only yesterday her daughter in Seremban told
her about three of her children back home felt ill. My
wife whispered to me to allow her to go back. I
asked her the same question. She cried and said she
would not go back now but pray for the kids well being.
I asked her to call back home.
One
of them is hospitalize. One is at home and recovering
fast and another is also recovering. One of her niece
passed away. My wife felt sad too. She was composed.
|
Today at about 4.30 she felt a strong tremor. I was
having a nap and my wife was not back yet from dialysis.
She had a strong haunch over something happening and
went to pray until my wife came back.
When I woke up I got a severe head ache, not knowing
anything. I read my facebook about the tremor. It was on
the Yahoo news. I told Yuni about it. She was very sad
and looked scared. I felt so sorry for her and told her
to watch the news. I kept her update of what I read in
Yahoo.
My
wife is sick and in pain. But I know she felt more pain
than my wife.
Last night she told me that she wants to go back to Aceh
for her son's wedding. I gave her the green light and
probably I will financed her trips. I can feel the
feeling of a mother who with other daughters went out to
look for bread for the poor family. They plan to
accumulate to make a small business.
I
pray for tranquility in Aceh tonight. I can't stand
seeing my maid in agony. I think if by 10 pm there is no
Tsunami then there won't be any at least after this
quake.
I
got a good maid and I pray for her well being and the
family. She kept on saying that she wants to take my
wife back to her home. My wife is on dialysis. She will
stay here and die here. And for Yuni she is just
like a family.

HAM SPIRIT OR WHAT ?
Several people have been asking me
about 9M2GET's wanting to sell his whole radio station.
I told them I don't know. And I don't even ask Hairie
about it and will never ask him. That does not mean I
totally ignore Hairie. I have my own reservation and I
don't like guessing which could lead to
fallacies. Non existing things could run like wild fire.
At
least we all know that Hairie is alive and kicking. My
CW partner, 9M2YP, went silent without any trace. It was
more disturbing. But I just
sensed that Yee must have some problems which may
resolve in the near future. I think we should not be
alarmed at many things.
Hairie
is much softer as compared to me. I was about to throw my
equipments into the sea for my own reason. Rusli too was
talking about casting his radios and seal his shack.
I was not haunted by mobsters, for fearing is not my
profession. I was badly disturbed by the talks that CW
was to be catapulted to an unknown world As far as I am concerned CW
is part and parcel
of ham radio. The idea of quitting starts when CW about
to be killed. That's
all. It is nothing to do with people but more on a
principle.
Ham
radio is friendships through the air. It is not a daily
meeting or an e-group forum. So I am not keen on daily
meetings or e-group gossip. What usually transpire from
those were more harm than good. Ham Radio is also not a
competition of an ego, smartness and ideas. It is not an
arena to make money.
If we
go astray from the original path then we can never have
a unity of words and spirits. One says we should condone
and support pirates, another says it is wrong to do so.
One says we can response to an unknown station, another
says it is very wrong and illegal. There is no unity of
words and deeds. For me that is one of the big different
from the old and the new world.
Asking
means concern. If we are so concern then we don't create
stories. Keep the conjecture to ourselves.
|
One
must know that whatever we earned in a very hard way will
be treasured and kept for a long time. Hairie did not beg nor putting
pressure for free goods. Like many others who
persistently went to the battlefield at Cyber Jaya
Hairie is not easy to accept things blindly.
Anyway ham radio today is
full of impurities. You monitor the band you sense them.
It is politicized and possess an aroma of racist.
Tracing the history of ASTRA and the history of the
fall of MARTS I would say ham radio is facing a crucial
moment. Who spoil MARTS ? I would trace the root to the
9M heroes. Who starts ASTRA and why ?
You think I ever forget
who was chasing me out of 7.043 for sending CW ? And
they are better than any body else in the world and an
expertise in band plan ? To right the wrong and wrong
the right does not come from the right mind.
There is always a big
question; what kind of people are we having in the
ham radio now ? To a business man who wants to make
money out of the hobby type and kind is not
relevant. There will be hills of justifications and
lobbying for popularity.
Where
are the old hams who can show the right ways ? I am
aware of those who teach the young to break rules direct
or indirect means.
The
leaders in Kuala Lumpur should put MARTS on the right
track again. It was the oldest radio society in the
country and had been running extremely well under the
old hams. Those responsible for the bringing of the
destroyers are responsible in the killing of the
society. Those who throw stones hide their hands.
Today gossips are more
than hamming. They meet in a club house and in a coffee
shops and start to choose the targets to hit. The
sharper the shots are the more satisfied they feel. Not
enough with that they filled in the web sites and
causing mischief on the band.
Nobody but me mention
9M2YP because he was more on CW than SSB. Instead Hairie
had been mentioned several time. Why ? It is because of
pollution and impurities, the vanishing philosophy and
spirit.

UMNO IS TOO BRAVE
If
only Najib and Shahrizat talked to people they would not
act as they are acting now. The RM100 and RM500 for vote
purchasing is beginning to have a backfire. "What can I
buy with this money as compared to 250 million ? " This
was heard from a Malay man working as a Jaga. The woes
of the poor men are picked up by the men in the middle
and talks went viral.
The
Malays began to realize that UMNO has been selling the
race. It is no point blaming the Chinese when the
party itself endorsed the policy set by their leaders,
robbing the Malay land for supermarket.
When Najib chose to defend Shahrizat people saw it as a
challenge by Najib against the masses. The issue of
Scorpene money is traveling fast. The Altantuya's puzzle
began to take shape. It is now haunting the GE13. Teoh
Beng Hock's ghost too will haunt the coming election.
What we are heating is "YES we take the 250
millions....What can you do ? " That is exactly
what it is. It
is more than the arrogance. And the voters are waiting
for the chancee. And UMNO knows the coming consequences
but
boldly proceeding with the plan to juggle with it.
You
will be shocking to know how large BERSIH got the
support. That is not a good sign for UMNO. And a bad
sign for Ghani Patail too. |
2012 is a year of uncertainty. Both scientists and
soothsayers are watching it, carefully analyzing any
possibility of eruption anywhere, and looking for any
possible sign.
Israel prefers to kill
Iranian nuclear scientists rather than bombing the
country Any military operation anywhere could
result in predicted disaster.
The growing resistance
towards the government is the effect of UMNO's bravery
and arrogance. You can see by yourself what is
happening. The robbing and plundering continues like
nothing happen. The great robber is the Mamak Kutty. He
called it development.
If you have been to
New Zealand and a large part of European continents you
can understand what development means. There are more
little towns in New Zealand than big towns and the
cities are much smaller than ours.
Here they chase people
to build shop houses and hotels, pay the poor people
RM300000 for a big land and sell a house built on it for
half a million. UMNO and MCA are enjoying the fun of
making money out of the poor people under the name of
devlopment.
UMNO accuse Anwar as
traitors of the Malays. Anwar did not bring
hardship to the natives. But UMNO has been selling the
soul of the Malays to the MCA. They destroy the |
the
Malay youths by not stopping the drugs from entering
FELDA and kampong areas. And they failed in stopping the
Muslim youths to become Christians. UMNO was heavily
drugged with money and went asleep for a long time.
Why
? Money here and money there. Project here and project
there. Privatization here and privatization there.
That's why Bank Bumi vanished, MAS almost dead, crimes
rise. Tabung Haji invested in Indonesia and now selling
the plantation to Kuok. The whole list of sins and
criminal acts have been published and Mahyuddin said,
"Forget the past..."
Almost everyday we
read about Toyol and Cow Woman and the Frog as if
Malaysia is full of cows and frogs. UMNO is using the
paper tiger, the frog, to warn everybody against the
non-Malays.
If UMNO is too brave,
just wait.

BACK TO SERVER LOGGING
Hard Disk logging is
interesting because I can have various effects on my
E-Log Book. After a while I decided to log from my
server. So I developed a simple program using a few
lines of basic asp codes. I can log through my Linux,
Mac or my Acer. And the station I worked with can check
the QSO and have the contact verified.
It
didn't last long for I went back to the local logging.
But
the other day when my CQ on CW was answered by E20
station I knew that he would open the QRZ.com looking
for my detail. I was sure that he would check the
contact following the instruction therein. So I logged
our contact using the website. I use Mac Book for
the purpose.
Wherever
there is a WIFI mobile or going portable is never a
problem anymore. I can use my iPhone to log without the
hassle of a notebook or a laptop.
It
is also convenient of me to use whichever computer or OS
I want. I had locked with Ubuntu, Mac OS and Windows.
Anyway there are plenty of superior free logbooks you
can find on the internet. Enjoy them.

ANOTHER FINE DAY FOR ME
I have not work Mazwan for
almost two weeks on Morse codes. Today at 0330 GMT he
called me while I was surfing the internet.
Working CW with Mazwan is fun. I can't tell our speed
but I know it is above 25 words per minute. At time I
felt it was really fast. My sending has always been bad.
The co-ordination is poor. Some spelling simply vanished
from my head.
I
have a desire to work with a few stations that go about
35 wpm, rag chewing for more than one way on 40 meter
band. I traced no error. That made me scared to join
them because I can't achieve such a perfection.
Mazwan homebrewed his key. I borrowed from 9M2GET. But
Mazwan's sending is almost flawless. What I like about
him is that he could copy the words I sent with errors.
He used to tell me not to repeat my error.
New
9Ms are actually good in Morse but scared to come on
fort the same fear of errors. But those who dared
themselves have prove that they are much better than
many old hams compared at the same timeline. |
I
am just glad we chose to retain CW despite tremendous
pressure from the business community and those who
can't. CW is synonymous to Ham Radio. Once the talk went
viral about the abolishment. Guys have been putting up
antennae like mad.
The
division between CB and Ham Radio is the Morse.
Otherwise from the beginning the radio hobby would be
lumped together.
CW
was almost at the brim of death.
I
have a friend who loath Morse code but bought several
expensive keyers. I offered to buy any one of them and
he refused to depart with it. He is right. He knows
without it there is no ham radio.
I believe it is a mode
that makes the mind alert and it sharpens our mental
awareness. Once I just simply could not believed myself
watching one Japanese ham working with his counterpart
at very high speed without any writing.
When I first heard
Mazwan I was so amaze at his speed. I thought I could
not match him. And people were saying that 9M2SZ could
go 35 wpm. That too left me mum. My speed was only 12
wpm then.
CW test of our time is
not as what it is today. There is no special date and
place set. It depends on the availability of the |
testers. I took the test in Penang because there was no
tester in Alor Setar. There were only three candidates.
You can apply to sit for the test once you are ready.
The telecom will reassigned you to take the test at the
nearest available tester.
Because there were no ham in town yet and there was no
computer I have to teach myself Morse by recording the
sound and play them back. Short wave radio was very
handy to monitor ship to shore and other maritime CW.
The
new generation of CWers do not let down our country.
They braved themselves to go into the international
arena. They keep the flag going; Malaysia the land of
the able people at par with other countries. Never say
we are Moron.
But
Mazwan has not always been free. Without his spouse
permission he would be barred from the radio room. The
wife told him to do something better. Radio is a waste
of time.
He
is just about 30 minutes away from my house measured by
Kancil standard. I am yet to see his homebrewed key,
which sounds like a magic. We share the same profession.
9M2PJU worked CW with me recently at a respectable speed
too, more than 15 wpm. I sense superb and great
Malaysian CWers are coming. We are beginning to come on
the limelight.

EDUCATIONAL STANDARD
I can't tell you the
current story. This is 2012 but my knowledge went
back in 1980's when I was one semester in Ohio, Athens
and the remaining years in Bloomington Indiana. There
were not many Asians in our Research Class. My friend
from Korea was coaching me statistical analysis because
I was dumb at it. 97 percents of the students were
Americans. When the result was out the Asians
performed better, not to mention the Malaysian. At
Bloomington I heard one Malaysian Indian scored
straight As and was offered scholarship by that
university. And one Malay student would take over his
class when his lecturer was away.
It
is hard to jump to conclusion. And we can't even say
the Malaysians are better than the Europeans or the
Americans. As somebody pointed out 'where is Steeve job
in Malaysia'. The Apple founders were once a college
dropped out. And what scientific achievement has the
Malaysians lead the world ?
Employable and unemployable could not merely be blamed to
the quality of education. When people are few and jobs
are plentiful even uneducated people can get job.
Today even
the competitive job market do not match workers to the
jobs. A chance, luck and who and whom you know
would give you a job, not the quality education that we
get.
I
would say the funding of Malaysian schools are much
better than the United States Most schools in the
United States belong to states. The welfare of the
teachers are not as good as ours. A
Japanese Peace Corpse once said that in Japan teachers
had to struggle to own a car. We have quality teachers
with skills equal to West.
And
I have always said the government schools are better
than the private institutions. Creative Principals could
push the school ahead at par with any other schools in
the world. Visitors to my former schools from Japan,
Thailand and Indonesia were so impressed and even
thought it was a college universities. May be at the
outset and the physical layout. I was at Irvine Valley
College and assessed the physical environment too. It
reflects the mentality and the thinking of the school
manager.
What is the criteria to compare the standard of one
school to the other ? The result ? The curriculum ?
Employable graduates ? Competitive school leavers ? The
ability and language and communication ?
If UMNO and DAP
shouted at each other about quality school and education
I do not see it will come to the right answer and the
truth. To compare an apple with an apple is more
appropriate ie. take a class and compare with
similar class in USA or Germany. Both go to those
countries and study the syllabus, the teachers, the
environment and the job market.
I sense trouble and
problem when the school's heads are more politicians
than an administrators. A former education director of
Kedah was very arrogant just because he was an UMNO man.
Another head would be talking about Dr Mahathir at every
school assembly telling the students to follow the Prime
Minister. A normal worker, a very strong man in UMNO,
acted as if he were the Prime Minister.
When we have UMNO
people leading organizations we can smell stinking
things around. But DAP or PAS could not take this as the
point of preference to compare standard.
It is true currently
that there are many graduates who can't speak English.
Why is this so ? It all boils up to the attitude of the
students. They thought it is not nationalistic to learn
or speak English. University lecturers who can't speak
English should find their way home and give way to the
better one. There is a tendency to proclaim that PHD
from USA is of higher quality than PHD from Malaysian
universities.
The awarding of
certificate must match the ability and knowledge. I say
so because there are teachers who gave away free marks.
A C quality product earning an A certificate would
produce disaster. Schools that are tough to get good
grade would be distanced by the parents. There are
Malaysians who want to go for free As or grades.
Curriculum has changed
a lot. Many parents do not know what their kids learn
today. There were subjects thrown and new ones came to
fore. At time teachers were left blank. They have to
teach the courses they were not trained for. As such
what can we expect from our children ?
BN and PR should do
the study together to compare and contrast by going to
schools in USA and Germany. As for me I have been to
both local and foreign universities and I have my own
reservation. In both I did not make good grades, not
because of the institutions but lack of mental prowess.

THE BALANCE OF POWER
The United States is moving her
marine to Australia in preparation for any possibility
of engagement with China.
China is seen
as a threat when the country acquire an air-craft
carrier and stealth bomber. USA warned China not to
expand it's military, which the Middle Kingdom insisted
they are nothing more than for self-defense.
Japan is seeking US's help to
prevent North Korea from launching it's rocket across
Japanese sky. South Korean warned the North of the
consequences if the North launched the rocket carrying a
satellite across it's space.
The fate of an all out war depends
on who rule America. The Republicans are war machines,
wanting to strike nations they do not like. And it looks
like the Republican will replace Obama this year.
At the same Washington is
extremely careful in insuring that what the Mayan
prophesize will not come true. End of the world will be
at the end of this year by any of the foreseen events.
World War is one of them.
The Chinese is also observing the
American maneuver in this region. But she has to build
up enough force to defend the nation against any enemy.
When USA built air-craft carrier or drones or weapons of
mass destruction, no other country put a bar to it. And
USA was not using them for defense but to destroy
innocent lives.
I think right now there is no
balance of power. USA is much more superior in it's
military hard ware as compared to Russia, China and
North Korea combined. |
WHY
MUST IT HAPPEN TO ME ?
Why must it happen to me
again. This time it was another hospital encounter with
a nurse from Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital. Last week the
hospital rang me up telling me to come on the 4th of
April instead of 11th April for my wife's appointment.
This morning I checked up the time of the appointment.
It is supposed to be at 11 am. Because my wife will be
going for her dialysis and she is bed ridden I have to
go alone to supplement her medicines. So I went early to
the clinic.
At
the counter the receptionist questioned my coming today
instead of 11th. I told her it was the hospital that
phone me for the new date. She asked me to go and look
for Sam. I saw several nurses inside and showed my card.
Everyone asked me the same question."Why I come today
not on the 11th." Then I saw them checking the calendar.
One nurse confronted me and asked me who issue the card
and the date. I did not who rang me up, who issue the
card, the time and the date. I told her I did not know.
All I know is it comes from the hospital. Her face
turned. She was rough in her talk, "Tau la hospital buat,
kalau pak cik tak cakap macam mana nak tolong."
Look at her answer and
attitude, attacking people for the mistake of the
hospital. I did not say anything because in my heart she
is a bastard and the government employs a bastard like
that. Then Sam came. I think she is a Thai. She told me
that there is no kidney clinic in the morning. The ward
must have made a mistake. She asked me whether I could
come in the evening. I agreed to come back. And again I
will see the bastard nurse once more. Imagine if someone
is staying very far at a remote village. The waiting for
the evening will be agony.
That's a counter with
a mini hell at the hospital. How not to use the word
bastard and called her a Malay bastard.
Even a private Malay
agency can cause you hell. More than 4 months ago I
booked 4 places for Umrah Ziarah from a Poto Travel
Kuala Lumpur. I requested the agency to book the local
flight from Alor Setar to Kuala Lumpur. They asked me to
do my own booking. With the schedule date and time I
went to the local tour agency, Jagong Emas, to purchase
Air Asia tickets. I showed a lady the International
flight schedule to make sure my brother in laws will not
miss any local flight to and fro. Coming back from the
Middle East will be on the 16, 0640 pm +1 ( local time)
She explained to me +1 means coming back on 16 and
arriving Kuala Lumpur on 16th too. She issued the flight
home to Alor Setar on 17th at 08.20 PM.
I realized the error
yesterday at the airport after asking the returning plan
from my in-law. He said they will be back on the same
day. When I rechecked with the Air Asia it was confirmed
that they won't have time to catch the flight. If I want
to change to 18th April I need to add extra payment. I
had to pay RM420. Had the Jagung Mas guy been correct I
would not have to waste unnecessary additional expenses.
You can call me a stupid Malay. Yes I do and so the
Jagung Mas stupid lady.
After sending my
in-laws yesterday I was on the home by the same airline,
the Air Asia. The security guard asked me to open
my beg because there was a trap dipole antenna given by
Rusli. He asked me to take the stuff on the cargo. I
went to the cargo counter. I was asked to pay RM40. When
I was about to pay the Malay lady said the cargo is now
close. She asked me to carry. What to do with the trap
dipole ? I can't carry home. I can't cargo it. So I went
to the security people and threw that thing to them and
joined the queue.

ANOTHER SOFT WARE REQUEST
?
I have been rejecting
offers asking me to develop soft wares. Only just
now a school rang me up asking me the price of a thumb
print attendance system. I asked the school to buy the
system outside which is 25% cheaper than mine.
My
soft ware is not so very user friendly. Somebody has to
learn many things about it. I need pictures of the
staffs, knowledge on how to record fingers and deleting
them, adding and erasing and the management of the
output. There must be a course to maintain it.
I
charged 2.5 K then. The hard ware like the finger
scanner is getting more and more expensive.
This
school has a new Principal coming from another school
which has been using similar program for more than 5
years. She found it to be very efficient , and desired
it . But each time I want to have something different so
that the school will feel it's originality.
I am
no more young. Going 65 with fading mind may not give me
the luxurious free time that I always want. The decay
and rust is felt rattling in the body. Tiresome clings
on me every minute of the day. |
The
school will discuss with PTA for funding and will
contact me again. If they call and I accept then it will
a hard work again. Money is not the matter. With the
current new expenditures on maid, my wife's ambulance
transportation for her dialysis and others I can still
make ends meet.
I am
glad I am still useful and make things happen. The
standard of my soft ware is graded as 'self-sufficient'.
That's what my log book, CW trainer and a few others
which I use for myself. They may not be great but they
are sufficient for my own use.
When
people called me STUPID on the ham band, let them be.
That title did not bar me from making money if I want
to. And let the clever people be endowed with wealth and
good office.
Nevertheless I will have to check whether I still have
any finger scanner left. Ordering from USA cost me a
fortune. A US25 would be taxed almost RM300. I can't
argue with the custom. They want me to apply for the
import permit for a twenty five dollar finger size
scanner.
If I
don't have it probably I have to say sorry and bid good
bye. |

7.1
- 7.2 not for 9M2s
Though the Malaysian Radio Authority has prohibited the
Malaysian hams from using 7.1 - 7.2 Mhz it is not
my concern to celebrate nor oppose it. Someone commented
that I am happy with the decision. Why should I ?
It
is true that I always stay on 7.043 regardless of the
condition. Noise or no noise I was there from 2002. The
frequency was not affected by stations nearby then,
because there was no ESSB which takes up quite a
bandwidth.
Though IARU has opened up to 7.2 the band is still
occupied by broadcast station. Not all commercial
station would be willing to give the frequency away to
ham radio.
It
was not clearly or officially stated yet when the
Malaysian hams jumped to frequencies above 7.1. They
went to 7.130 but I stayed foot at my usual frequency. A
few accused me for not wanting to talk to the new ham.
And the absurd accusation went viral.
I
just ignore. Ignoring unproductive and irrelevant stuffs
lightened our mind.
Let
the new hams learn things that they have known before,
which many of us have already been aware. Eventually
they will become more and more mature.
|
When I was in Arau I heard Rusli on 7.130 and quickly
informed him of the new regulation. He checked it out
and started to come back to the old spectrum. Ody is
still yaking away happily.
In
fact I have done the computation on the ratio between
the hams to the frequency spectrum before, after arguing
on the proposed million hams in Malaysia. I said it was
more with a business in mind rather than the sanctity of
the hobby.
If
we start with 7.030 and moves 5 KC apart, how many spots
can we have ? If those frequencies are being used by
foreign hams all the way where are we to go ?
At
time we need to talk among ourselves only on matters
pertaining to the Malaysians. We
don't want to join chat with the Indonesians on our
privacy matters.
It
is up to the Malaysians to decide and act prudently. As
for me everyone knows where to find me. It is not
my frequency but the frequency where I used to be.
In
my opinion the MCMC needs to reconsider giving away
above 7.1 to 7.2 by first constantly monitor the daily
available spot on 7 MHZ, the number of Malaysian hams
making themselves heard and the time they would be
there. If all frequencies are occupied by the
Indonesians then the authority should give a due
consideration.
|
In
the mean time no Malaysian should beat the band wagon
and as always, act like a hero, forming a squad to
invade Cyber Jaya. I remember in the last invasion
someone was said to demand the authority to kick me out
of 7.043 CW. Why me ? What have I done to them to kick
me out ? Again I just don't care and did not keep a
grudge.
No
matter how much spirited new hams want to tour the world
and get new friends across the
borders, one day they will come back to local hams to
chat with. That's the time when they will have to find
the home.
Malaysians have been a vagabond. Malaysian frequency net
had been taken away. Though nobody owns the band , we
have been respecting the others by not intruding the
frequency when our foreign friends have been using for
the net.
Years ago 9M2LC whispered something to me, which I found
he was perfectly right. Ask me what it was when you meet
me.
If
you don't want to come on 7.043 you need to look for
another one or two spots to settle down while waiting for the
broadcast station to clear the prohibited spectrum.
If
you continue to ignore the regulation and publicly
challenge it, you are setting example to the other would
be hams to challenge the authority. You may be right but I do not
think it is wise at all.
We are
not a political party. |
There are 15 spots between 7.030 to 7.100 with a
separation of 5 KC apart. Figure out how many have been
occupied by the Indonesians. How many are on the time
sharing basis and how many have been totally
monopolized.
Our problem is not
merely on the shrinking band but on our operators
refusal to come on. You can't tell the new comers what
40 like before, because they won't be able to understand
it. And they may hate hearing it. Past is past. You
can't bring back the dead.
Marginal frequency is
never a good spot. 7.043 for instant is a marginal
frequency in between 7045 and 7040. Splattering will be
strong. ESSB almost kill everything.
Probably the 7.1+ boys
will have to jump just across the border to about 7.095,
7090, 7085 and 7080.
If we have enough hams
coming on I believe the authority might be sympathized
with us and will study the band again. There is no point
rolling our sleeves for any confrontation.

Proton
Loses Money, MAS Loses Money, Khazanah Sells
Family Silver. Dont Worry, Everything Is Under
Control.
Here is a comment from Godfather in my
previous post.
Anonymous said...
Syed: MAS has to rid itself of all the
leeches. I'm surprised Badawi hasn't
voluntarily resigned as Advisor. He gets
RM 40k per month, plus a car and a
secretary and an office. Sell the
paintings that Munir Majid bought from
his friend. Then tell the world how much
MAS has lost from these stupid
purchases. Finally, sell MAS to whoever
gives Khazanah the best price. That'll
stop the meddling from your friend Azman
Mokhtar and will also get rid of Danny.
You give MAS away to an experienced
operator and it will make money.
Godfather - Friday, March 02, 2012 11:45:00
AM
Anyway here is
the news:
Proton Q3 results down
Proton
plunged itself deeper into the red with a net loss
of RM88.2mil for its third quarter (Q3) compared to
RM68.1mil recorded in the previous corresponding
quarter. Revenue declined to RM1.43bil from
RM1.83bil previously.
Group
chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Nadzmi Mohd Salleh said the
lower profit was largely attributed to lower revenue
recorded from domestic sales. “With the increasingly
stiff competition faced by Proton, the prospect for
Proton does not look rosy...” he said.
Folks, this has
been the fate of Proton under the management of
people like Chairman Mohd Nadzmi Mohd Salleh, CEO
Syed Zainal 'sembahyang hajat' and whoever. Yet we
still keep these people in place - year after year.
These are the fossils from the Jurassic Park who
have been running some of these businesses into the
ground for the past umpteen years. I suppose they
meet all their KPIs too - without fail, year in and
year out.
And Lotus is
getting into deeper sh*t. For Lotus I have a
solution. The Lotus Elise 2011 sells for less than
RM150,000 in the UK. In duty free Pulau Langkawi I
think the Lotus Elise also sells for about the same
price.
Unfortunately
in the rest of Malaysia the Lotus Elise sells for
RM245,000. Few people in Malaysia can therefore
afford to buy the Lotus Elise. So Lotus suffers poor
sales in Malaysia. Kalau tak boleh jual kereta,
mesti lah Lotus / Proton akan rugi.
Here is my
question : how come Lotus can sell the Elise so
cheaply in the UK and in Langkawi? Why not allow the
Lotus Elise to sell for the much cheaper RM150,000
price in the rest of Malaysia as well? What is so
special about the UK or Langkawi?
At RM150,000 I
am sure the sales of Lotus Elise in Malaysia will
shoot to the sky. Then the Lotus company can be
saved. Or at least Lotus can clear their old stocks
of unsold cars. Malaysians can drive high tech cars
like the Lotus Elise at much cheaper prices.
Folks is that a
good thing or a bad thing? Can the Government of
Malaysia please explain why you do not want hard
working Malaysians to buy and drive better and
higher quality, high technology cars at much cheaper
prices? And you still cannot save Proton - which is
now making even more losses?
Then MAS is
also losing money. There is a huge rip off going on.
Now Air Asia is also a shareholder in MAS. Tony
Fernandez is so much more cleverer than the boys
running MAS. Everyone is a schemer but some people
scheme better than others. .
But to whose
benefit do they scheme? The airline passengers? The
shareholders - ie you and me the taxpayer? I think
someone is going to get a ride on a plane. But you
and me folks, the taxpayers, we are going to be
taken for a ride as well. Just wait and see. I think
this is the beginning of something much bigger. There
is no honour among schemers.
Despite
announcing the largest ever losses of RM2.5 Billion
yesterday, MAS still has to take delivery of 23 new
aircraft. Here
is the news :
MAS is
staring at a capital expenditure (capex) of RM6bil
this year and RM3.5bil for 2013 because of the
aircraft deliveries that have been lined up for this
year and next.
This year
alone it is going to take delivery of 23 aircraft -
five 555-seater A380 which it will deploy for the
Kangaroo route (Sydney-KL-London-KL-Sydney); 13
B737-800s and five A330-300s.
Most of
these aircraft were ordered during the time of
Tengku Datuk Azmil Zahruddin (previous managing
director of MAS)
Air Asia has
ordered 200 Airbus A320 Neos plus an option for
another 100. MAS is getting 23 new aircraft
including FIVE Airbus A380 Superjumbos. For
comparison SIA has bought 19 of the 555 passenger
Airbus A380 superjumbos since 2001 (the development
phase of the A380). Maybe MAS is cleverer than SIA.
Folks all these
troubled GLC companies suffer the same problems.
They are all run by the same dunggus - all the way
to its Board of Directors, their controlling
companies and the Minister or Ministers in charge of
these entire GLC fiasco companies. Dunggus are in
charge and nothing is changing.
It is now
beyond the Peter Principle already. The Peter
Principle states that "in a hierarchy every
employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence".
Thats it folks.
These people at
Proton, MAS, Khazanah Nasional, their Boards, their
controlling companies, their con-sultans, their
Senior Managements, the Minister in charge etc have
all risen to their highest level of incompetence.
They cannot go beyond this anymore. It is going to
be yet a continuous series of losses, losses, and
more losses. They have hit their ceiling. Just wait
and see.
I personally
think there is absolutely nothing wrong with MAS,
Proton, Khazanah Nasional or any of the other major
GLCS. If I were to run them, I am quite certain they
can be turned around, make a profit, do not burden
the taxpayer and most importantly they provide
products and services closer to market prices. Not
just me, but I think many of you can also do the
same. All you need is some experience and a
determination to do things right. And you must not
have greasy fingers.
There has to be
a complete overhaul of the human beings, the people
who populate this entire chain of command. They all
have to be removed. Sorry - but the greater good of
the taxpayer is a much better option that protecting
the narrow and selfish interests of a few lagards,
marauders, nincompoops, pirates and even the corrupt
who populate these troubled GLCs. They are all in
there folks, they have fully infected the system.
Here is news
about Khazanah Nasional's RM5.0 billion profits for
2011. But lets read carefully ya.
·
KUALA
LUMPUR (Jan 19, 2012): Khazanah Nasional Bhd posted
an impressive 156.3% jump in pre-tax profit to RM5.3
billion for the year ended Dec 31, 2011 from RM2.1
billion in the previous year, boosted by continuing
strategic divestments, particularly the
privatisation of PLUS Expressways Bhd.
|
·
The
government investment arm has declared a record
dividend payout of RM3 billion.
·
A
selection of the 20 largest and significant
government-linked companies (GLCs) under its stable
are estimated to record total earnings of RM19
billion for 2011
·
Realisable asset value decreasing by RM4.5 billion
or 4% to RM108.1 billion
·
Net
worth adjusted declined RM5.2 billion or 6.9% to
RM70 billion from RM75.2 billion as at Dec 31, 2010.
·
The
major deals included the sale of a 32% stake in Pos
Malaysia to DRB-Hicom Bhd for RM622.8 million
·
The
others are IHH's acquisition of a 60% stake in
Acibadem Saglik Yatirimlari
Holding A.S.
·
and the
completion of the PLUS Expressways acquisition
through UEM Group Bhd and EPF.
And here is
more news about Khazanah Nasional :
A DIVERSE
portfolio of companies under Khazanah Nasional, the
Malaysian Government-owned investment arm, is
helping to shield its investments from volatile
global markets amid dark economic clouds gathering
over the horizon presently.
Azman: ‘When
we started in 2004, our portfolio was very heavy on
utilities, but today it is quite balanced.’
Khazanah's
stakes in UEM Land Bhd has surged more than 400%
since its listing in November 2008.
Azman
explains that figure, however, was not exhaustive
per se as companies such as CIMB Bank and Axiata
Group Bhd are categorised as Malaysian companies
while in practice these were companies which have
invested in other parts of Asia.
It is to be
noted however, that comparing with 2010 however,
these RAV and NWA figures declined slightly in 2011.
Its portfolio RAV declined to RM108.1bil in 2011
from RM112.6bil in 2010, while NWA also declined to
RM70.0bil from RM75.2bil respectively.
The surge in
profits and dividends declared was attributed to
continual divestment of its investments especially
the recent RM23bil privatisation of PLUS Expressways
in 2011, Khazanah says.
In 2011
alone, Khazanah made gains on divestments of RM2bil
and made new investments totalling RM5.8bil.
Azman Mokhtar
keeps repeating that Khazanah Nasional began
operations in 2004 (when Slumberjack took over).
This is so
typical of the bullshit coming out of the
Slumberjack era. Khazanah Nasional was set up by Tun
Dr Mahathir in the 90s. The job of Khazanah Nasional
was to open new frontiers in high technology
industries in Malaysia and create new high
technology jobs for Malaysians. It was part and
parcel of the entire technological upliftment of
Malaysia together with the launching of the Multi
Media Super Corridor.
Instead
Khazanah Nasional has now become a company that buys
and sells shares in other companies. There is little
"new wealth" creation and very little new job
creation in Malaysia.
If you ask
Azman Mokhtar, 'how many new jobs have you created
in Malaysia for all the billions that you have
invested' I think he will not be able to give you
any answer.
The latest
example being an investment by Khazanah Nasional in
Turkey. Why should Malaysian taxpayers money be
invested in Turkey creating jobs for the Turkish
people? Our own graduates are unemployed or
unemployable. Pasal apa kera di hutan disusukan
padahal anak sendiri kebuluran?
Khazanah
Nasional was also supposed to help in the upliftment
of the bumiputras. Orang Turki ini bumiputra ke?
Other than Boards of Directors who fly first class
to attend Board meetings, just how many Malaysians
are employed in all the companies which Khazanah has
invested in overseas? Can we have a total figure? 10
Malaysians? 100 Malaysians? How many? For what
amount of investment : RM5.0
billion? RM10.0
billion?
Khazanah
Nasional has become no more than a fund manager -
playing the share market, taking positions in
companies no different from any other fund manager.
Folks here is a
question for you : How many 'Directors of
Investments' do you think an investment holding
company should have? I would assume just one. Guess
how many Directors of Investment Khazanah has? One?
Two? Three?
Well Khazanah
has eight "Directors of Investments". Yes eight. And
how much is each one of them paid? Lets see lah.
1. The Chief of
the 'let me spend all the taxpayers money' guy is
one Ganen Sarvananthan, Executive Director,
Investments
This is the guy
who basically tells Azman Mokhtar when to go to the
bathroom. Folks say he does all the thinking and
talking. Azman Mokhtar just signs on the dotted
line. The typical 'Ali Baba' set up. How much is he
paid? Well he drives a Ferrari around town - they
say. He makes most of the deals for Khazanah. Lagi
satu kes India lagi pandai dari Melayu.
2. Ben Chan
Executive Director, Investments
3. Michael Jude
Fernandes Executive Director, Investments
4. Joseph
Dominic Silva Executive Director, Investments
5. Kenneth Shen
Executive Director, Investments
To my Perkasa
friends, dont worry. Ganen Sarvananthan, Ben Chan,
Michael Jude Fernandes, Joseph Silva and Kenneth
Shen are actually "young Turks". That means they are
also bumiputra. Jangan risau, there are some Melayu
as Director of Investments. Here they are :
6. Tengku Dato’
Sri Azmil Zahruddin bin Raja Abdul Aziz Executive
Director, Investments - this is the guy who bought
the FIVE Airbus A380s for MAS (when he was running
MAS). Then he split from MAS and now sits as the
Director of Investments at Khazanah Nasional.
7. Dato’
Noorazman Abd Aziz Executive Director, Investments
8. Hisham
Hamdan Executive Director, Investments
Somehow I get
the feeling the last three Melayus are for the
purposes of filling up the "Ali Baba" quota only.
Saja nak kasi penuh quota Melayu sikit. Otherwise
Khazanah is run by 'young Turks' - bumiputras one
and all.
Here is the
catch folks. Khazanah made RM5.0 billion in 2011.
But a huge chunk of that was made from selling
shares in Plus Expressways and also the RM622
million they made from selling shares in Pos
Malaysia Bhd.
I say Azman
Mokhtar, this was Dr Mahathir's handiwork lah. His
free gift to you FROM BEFORE 2004 lah brader.
The Projek
Lebuhraya Utara Selatan or PLUS Hiway was completed
in 1994 (15 months ahead of schedule - so typical of
Dr Mahathir). So the Gomen parked its PLUS shares
with Khazanah Nasional. Now, 17 years later, you
sell the PLUS shares given to you by Dr Mahathir and
make a huge profit and tell the world that you are
"very very crever". You
keep saying "When we started in 2004, our
portfolio was very heavy on utilities, but today it
is quite balanced".
Kepala hotak
engkau lah. You are now making money by selling PLUS
shares which Dr Mahathir gave to Khazanah Nasional
Bhd in the 1990s. Jangan bohong.
I say brader
Azman Mokhtar, this is the "nenek tua" punya
business model lah. I say 'nenek tua' because my
mum-in-law once sold very old shares (some of the
share scripts were from the 1960s) in Sime Darby,
Singapore Press Holdings etc given to her by her
father in the 60s and 70s. This is the same business
that you are doing man. Selling old shares given to
you by your great grandpa Dr Mahathir (Najib is now
the third generation PM after Dr M) and then
claiming to make a huge profit.
And the Prime
Minister is the Chairman of Khazanah - completely
oblivious to the wool being pulled by some of the
other Board Members of Khazanah Nasional Bhd.

The goodies
offered to the people is nothing more than to
cover up all the crimes done and asking the
people to say 'YES' to all the robberies
done.99% of the people do not see what's going
on behind the smoke screen.
Are the Malays
that so bad and filthy ? Or that so very
arrogant and immoral ? Nobody can take for
granted that being a Malay he would carry with
him a very high moral standard, strong in
religious faith and could be trusted.
Being called
stupid and lazy could not be that so filthy as
being robbers, dishonest and irresponsible.
Using the law to protect the guilty is
despicable and shame.
Criminals must
not let be free and die peacefully. The whole
generation must be punished severely both by men
and God.
My eyes saw
nobody else other than Mamak Kutty from Pakistan
as the man responsible for all the filth and
dirt, severely continued until the very moment. |
The
country has to depend on the young and brilliant
Malaysians living overseas to put things in
order again and to plan for no escape to any of
the criminal. Those who migrate must be hunted
even to the grave yard.
They
disgrace the Malay race and the Islamic
religion. They continue to cheat the Malays day
by day using the main stream media.
Notice how the TV is trying to popularize
Shahrizat portraying her as a dedicated Minister
as if she is the only Minister who take care of
the people and the rest are not. The intent of
the media is as filthy as the drugs on the
street.
WE
must expect the police to bring the criminals to
justice and not to protect them because they are
destroying the nation and the future of our
generations. |
HOW
ABOUT IBRAHIM ALI ?
A
Malaysian Don Quixote
fighting a wrong enemy when he should charged at the
traitors who plunder the nation's wealth and pushing the
Malays to poverty.
What
can PERKASA do to stop the pillage of the nation, the
robbing of the agriculture land and to halt the drugs
from reaching the young Malays ?
What
can Hishamuddin Keris do to make the Malays more
competitive, hard work, and successful ? OR even to stop
the pig head entering the mosque ?
|
THE IFs ARE UNENDING
If you are
suffering from an acute diabetes and a new discovery
claims it can take away your sickness for good BUT after
five years you will die, would you accept it ?
For
10 years I would surely accept it but for 5 years I need
to another question. HOW WILL I DIE ? I would not want
a slow and painful death. A sudden collapse or death in
sleep is acceptable.
Once doctors and scientists said diabetes is incurable
but a recent medical break through claimed it is curable
by operation. Patients undergoing the procedure were
shown to be happy.
But
the doctors and scientists are still observing those
patients for any side effect. That struck my mind on the
assumption the side effect will result in death in five
years time. |
If you are a
school principal and you are offered one million ringgit
to be naked in the school assembly, would you do it ?
I challenged
Ooi Hui Fang, my female student, to shave her head bald.
I would give her RM 200, she accepted the challenge by
asking me to shave my head bald for RM500.
Try to
increase the amount to 250 million and and challenge
Ibrahim Ali to walk nude. Will he do it ? I would not
dare to challenge some of the women who wear red.
Don't
ever try to challenge the Westerners. Many would offer
free nude walking even in town and other public places.
And
who among the local operators dare to do it for IC-756
Pro 3 ? |
If
you are in a time machine and you are given only one
chance to go back in time, at what age or year you
would want to go back ?
Actually I don't regret with the past life though not
all memories are fond. There had been sweet and bitter
events, many were hurting, being jerked and jilted by
girls being called shortie; they are part of life.
Even at the current condition of my wife and the tough
new lifestyle I would not regret it. I would not blame
God for any misfortune that befell me.
To
go back to tour the past is unnecessary. To go back and
to change my destiny is not a desire.
Being me is already a blessing. Being given a life and
feel the world for more than 64 years is the greatest
gift of all. |
If you were given RM250 million
loan how would you do with the money ?
I would seek
an advice from a lawyer how to make every of my move
with the money looks legal.
If you are
given a power to mention only three names so that they
will die immediately, whose names would you mention ?
Anwar, Kit
Siang Karpal ?
Ghani Patail,
Musa Hassan Shahrizat ?
Ibrahim Ali, Ibrahim Ali, Ibrahim Ali ?

THE STRAIGHT AND CROOKED
THINKING
I heard about a book
called the Straight and Crooked Thinking when I was in
form one. The Sixth form at those time were called the
pre-U class. All students must learn how to think
logically. By the time they enter the university they
would be able to think well.
There
are 9Ws who sit for the CW test. Some pass and some
fail. Those who pass become the target of attack. I am
not going to expose anything about the attackers, or
else I would be just like them, like the other stupid
Malays.
If
those guys want to go for the test, it is their funeral.
They use their own money. Their fathers and mothers
allow them. Our mothers do not milk them. Our
fathers do not raise them. |
Once
they pass it is up to them to come on the band or not,
SSB or CW. It is nothing of our concern to dictate to
them. Who are we to command on others. We are not their
employers nor their parents.
Unless
things are clearly stated in laws; what is allowed and
what is prohibited.
Intruding and disturbing because of the ill-willed
are the design of an evil, of someone with an
undetermined mind. Read my comment on 'LU EY MA HO LANG
KAN', a kind of product a human can originate. In the
history of slavery the White said Black was the product
of human-monkey intercourse. Black was the product of
SIN. They could have said to the Brown skin race.
I
wonder whether the book is still in use today.
What
could have influence the way people think ? Surely his
own personal bias and interest. A man with the intent of
making |
money
always find ways and means with excuses, paper works and
lies to push his desire. Filthy words never end.
With
the hidden intention they tend to make wild statements.
Unthinking victims will feel bad. The thinking ones will
strike back. "It is my business to come on the band or
not, phone or CW."
Those
who go against all odds and fight and survive must be
special people and they will not heed any vicious
attack.
What
other way to deal with rogue people ?

FULFILLING DAY
Today is an award
giving day to the successful students in the 2011 SPM.
Students with 4As and above were invited. It was a
school affair but I made a visit with the hope I could
see and talk to the 8A's students. I also want to see my
gifts being given away.
I was a little late.
The ceremony had begun with speeches by the PTA and the
school's principal Puan Maria.
I was cordially
welcome by those teachers outside the hall. They ushered
me to take a seat but I preferred to float around, free
to snap photos with my iPhone. I saw Rahmad, a Berita
Harian repoter and "HIed" him.
The best student, an
Indian boy, Haritharan, scores 8A and 1B. He entered the
school without any A, only Bs and Cs. The girl, Nur
Farhan Natsha, entered with 2As and another ,Zulfaqar,
with only 3As. The chairman of the PTA stressed on the
importance of the hard work, which I also agreed.
Haritharan's
Mother
Haritharan was the
last to give a speech when the prize giving ceremony
came to a close. Rahmad was busy interviewing and taking
pictures. I only talked to one of the 8As parent. She
was telling me how she controlled her son, only giving
him a bicycle to school.
About one hour later I
decided to take one of the teachers to a lunch. He told
me about Rohana, Pang and Foo whose kids also scores
10As and above. After lunch I rushed to a supermarket to
buy three boxes of tea sets.
On arriving the school
I had a pleasure of calling my old teachers and
presented them with the gifts. We talked and laugh. |
God
provides us with
rezeki to be
shared if excess. We don't need a million or
tenth of thousands. We don't need any repayment from any
one. Feeling good is already a reward.
But
everyone of them were asking about my wife. They did
hear about her plight. That's concern enough.
I
met Poh Hong too and talked to her about many things.
Mey Chong was there too. Her daughters, one doing a
Master Degree and another an engineer. Once one Chinese
teacher told me that giving away knowledge will be
replaced by mountainfull of the lost ones.
I
told Mei Chong who is going to retire this December
about dedicated teachers and the divine reward. She
agreed. So are many other teachers of mine.
The
day is fulfilling indeed.
The
new principal, Puan Maria, is the happiest. This is the
best for her and the school so far. And she is working
very hard for the glory of the school.
Giving her a chance she can bring the school to the
apex.

CRAZY ME 2
The
return FA match between Kedah and T-Team was in
Trengganu. I was reminded by my student's son. He asked
me to wait for him at Mimi Tomyan, the Thai restaurant.
He was having a tuition. He would join me at 10 pm. So I
went earlier. I had no ASTRO simply because I refused to
pay the installation money after the decoder problem.
The
game already started. There were many fans focusing
their eyes on the TV screen. Every one shouted but I was
the loudest. When our center forward failed to make the
best out of the good chance, I stood up and shouter,"Go
bak...go back to Africa.." I heard people laughing. I
knew they laughed at me.
Later I heard other fans were yelling as well as if
those players could hear us. When good chances were
missed we shouted and yell the cursing words forgetting
we were in the restaurant not the stadium.
How
not to get angry when one to one with the goalie was not
utilized. The African forward did not shoot but instead
passed to his friend who failed. I stood up and repeat
the same thing,"Go back to Africa."
From groans and yelling the spectators jumped with joy
when the same African guy whom I chased home scored a
goal. "Dpn't go back....don't go back."I would say.
Every one was laughing again.
When the T-team leveled the score to 1 - 1, we kept
quiet . I sighted Sabri Abu for leaving the unmark
T-Team forward. "Useless Sabri," I shouted.
My
student and her family arrived. I checked myself. I
behaved like a good boy until the game was over. The
same import player scored the second goal.
My
student's son called Angah keep on reminding me about
Friday game betweem Kedah and Perak. The youngest son
also wanted to follow me to the next game. The father is
not interested in soccer. They would send us to the
stadium and picked us up after the game.
Being an ordinary man we can be almost anything in most
places. You don't expect Najib to yell and shout when
watching a match. What if the Queen Elezebeth wave
a F*****G sign at a football stadium.
Ordinary men like us can enjoy life more than a
President or a King. Thanks God for making us as we are.

CW TEST 28/03/2012
Today is a sad day for
most of us. It is a day of funeral of 9M2PD, Hari, after
several weeks of illness. It is sad because many of his
friends will be going to Cyberjaya.
There were 40 candidates registered but only 34
attended.
|
As usual there are
supporters from the 9M2s.
At the time of this
typing the result on the receiving side is already
published. There were 12 out of 34 passes. Those
candidates were said able to copy all texts but failed
to copy numbers. Too many number sets. My comment is
hams do not communicate using numbers. A large part of
our communications are in texts. Chats have always been
in plain language. When I monitored chats between JA1NUT
with his American friends 99.99 % are in plain language.
Numbers will start at the signal report and later the
weather.
Wisdom must be applied
at anything. It is not to pass or fail stuffs
The latest update
according to 9MBAL Sabah - 11 passes.

Putrajaya
invites bids to run NFC
KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 — Putrajaya is to
invite bids to take over the National Feedlot Centre
(NFC) from the National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp),
whose chairman is facing charges for misusing part
of a RM250 million soft loan for the project.
Agriculture and
Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Noh Omar
(picture)
said the government was serious in ensuring that the
project could go on as proposed previously, Bernama
Online reported.
|
I
can't help but to agree with what Noh is doing right
now. The money need to be recovered. There is no such
thing as payment back of loan by Shahrizat's family
because the money is not for property acquisition. Every
single cent must go back to the government.
Noh
had first invited trouble when he sided Shahrizat's
husband without first doing the thorough investigation.
A
Minister should think before issuing statements.
The whole world is monitoring and recording every words
said and move made. They escape no one.
BUT
farmers may not know how to bid. They know how to rear
cattle.
Noh
must rethink about the bidding because I feel that
people who bid may not have experience. A big
number of successful farmers are not men of letters.
There is no harm calling Rafizi for the discussion.
After all it is for the good of everyone. |
WHY GOONS GET ELECTED
Rafedah said people would vote for government not the
personality. Is she right ?
Base on observation, not the proper evidence, we saw
goons were elected as people's representatives. Had
Ibrahim Ali be under independent he will be thrown out
like an old rig.
People can sell their honor with only RM500.
I
won't go for party but for a person. I would not vote a
bad PAS man as well as an UMNO robber. I would not want
an immoral and unethical representative. If I push Anwar
would push Chua Soi Lek as much,and Shahrizat the
hardest.
If
I see a government run by a Mafia gang I would be glad
if a foreign government erase the total Mafia
government.
I
know Rafedah is always a smart lady, and witty too. |
MY
GREAT OBLIGATION
I have a great
obligation to the government for taking care of my
Medicare and my wife, for taking a good care of my
pension. But I cannot give a thumb up for the
mismanagement of the public funds, failure in managing
drugs that are murdering our young, wasting of resources
and many other listed things in my web page.
I
can't condone lies and arrogance, abuse of power by the
police and Attorney General.
I
think the Chinese is just like anyone of us. They are
like family and must be treated as well as the others.
There is always the need to share the luxury of the
nation, the businesses and the wealth of this country.
I
can't accept racial hatred as what UMNO is fanning.
The
government must do more and fear no lost of votes by
getting rid of the corrupts.

HENG POH HONG
When Poh Hong was diagnosed having cancer she was in the morose
mood.
I did'nt know of her plight until I asked where she was.
It was quite some time ago before the teacher's room
was transferred to a new location.
I
told her friend to convey my best regard and to tell her
that my auntie and my other relative too were suffering
from cancer more than 20 years ago and they are still
alive and strong today.
Some days later I saw her. She looked cheerful and
responded that hers was not a serious one and could be
controlled with drugs. |
When I was her boss she called me Abdul Rahman, the
title I love to hear. Only one man called me Tuan or Sir
ie the Nasi Kandar Mamak from India.
People called me with
all sort of names; PIG ( babi ), Shortie ( Pendek) and
Napoleon.
Poh
Hong like many other teachers is a dedicated teacher and
she has traveled the world over with all female gangs.
Once in a while we
bumped into each each other in the school. She looked
happy and seem to forget about her cancer.
Sometimes worry can
kill us faster. My aunty had so much faith in God. And
that's what I told Poh Hong, to have faith in God and
make the full use of our remaining life.
I am proud of my
teachers, including Poh Hong and wish her all the best. |
GOOD WORK
AND ROBBING
You
can rob as long as you show you are doing a good job.
This is one of the happenings in work place, where an
employee who does his work well can move in and out of
the work place as he likes.
Our
TV is telling the rakyat exactly that. You can be any
hell as long you show you are a hard working
person. This is what we call the change in value and
UMNO has lost it's morality. |
WILL THE WORLD
END
At
least 50% of the people who are enlightened with the
Mayan calendar are keeping their fingers cross.
Scientists are trying to compute all the possibilities
but do not predict 2012 is the end.
The
Jews saw the end as they saw fire burning in the country
probably known as Syria today. But sciences and religion
could not agree in many things.
The
Muslims believe in the end of the world but do not
predict the date.
Believe it or not many people pray for disaster striking
Putrajaya. Of course the wish is never condoned by
Islam, we can't stop people calling for chaos and the
end of the world.
I
used to hear a saying 'Good man dies young. " |
NAJIB IS NOT WEAK
If you study and
follow Najib carefully you will find that he is no weak.
He can make a bold and brave decision on his own.
What we can't be sure is that whether his decision is
right or wrong. He has to depend heavily on reports from
Special Branch and his special force on what the public
think.
Najib is assessing his popularity almost everyday and he
is of the opinion that he is popular enough by the
crowds around him at the places he visited.
He
learned a lot from Sarawak. Taib Mahmud could still
maintain his status quo though the attack on him was
bad. Notice that UMNO is beginning to deploy gangsters
now.
Defending his wife and Shahrizat do not indicate he was
scared of them but he is not scared of the rakuat.

SHARING THE HAPPINESS
Finally I purchased
the gifts to be given to the parents of the three
students who scored 8 As in the last SPM. It will
wrapped and send to the school administrator tomorrow.
On the 28th when I could not attend the ceremony because
I will have to go for my blood test. Blood has never
been convenient because of the long wait. I already my
maid to prepare breakfast for my wife before she goes
for her dialysis. Dialysis begins at 12.00 noon.
I didn't ask
the school how many students will be awarded by
the PTA. Usually each 8A will get about RM300.
The ceremony
is in fact a motivation to those other student.
It is to prove that success do not follow the
past history but the current desire and hard
work. Those who want can succeed.
Secondly the
school will highlight the importance and the
role of the parents, so that the children will
always remember and respect and love their
parents.
It is a
tragedy and sad to hear that children are too
busy with their jobs and family to care of their
old parents, sent them away from home. A few
never make a visit anymore.
We are part of
society. The success and failures of others do
affect us very much. We can
join to celebrate from the distant to share the
happiness. |
Remember one
bad citizen can cause havoc to the whole nation
and one good citizen can bring wonders to the
nation.
I can't afford
expensive gifts as much as I would like to. I
asked my female student to decide the goods and
she did.
Of all the
schools why should I be concerned about the
Vocational Secondary School of Jalan Stadium ?
Yesterday I took my maid around and showed her
the school. "I worked here for 20 years and
before I retired I moved to another school in
the same locality."
A few teachers
who worked with me are still there. The current
Head Master is a lady and to my assessment she
is good and dedicated. She works hard to bring
back the school to the former glory.
More than 50% of the staffs are new. I don't
know them. Some new teachers treated me so very
well. When I talked to them I refer to this school as OUR school. |
|
The
PTA's chairman had given me due respect in many ways.
If I were at the Prize Giving Day, he would pull me up
the stage to join him in giving away those prizes in
turn., Strange but he did it.
Some of the
stude
nts wished me as I were their teachers.
I felt they know me from somewhere.
The
other school, SMK Syed Mohd Al-Bukhary, has a totally
different culture and history. For three years there I
felt so very tired and fell ill. I failed. I didn't even
attend my farewell dinner. I only knew that parents were
rushing to send their kids to this school for some
reason or the other.
Vocational School is always at my heart and I want to
see it as excellent school with glory. The MOTTO 'We Got
To Be Number One' is still alive.
My
visit to the institution is not as regular as before
especially after the incidence with the guard.
Surprisingly enough every guard seem to know me now.
With my wife needing more attention I only make a visit
when the school calls me or if I have an important thing
to do.
Other than devoting oneself to God and religion to find
happiness, showing kindness to animals, helping the sick
and the unfortunate can also make us satisfied and
fulfilling. I wish I were a billionaire. |

NONE CAN BE TRUSTED
Can you trust anyone
anymore ? Though there are still a few honest men left
we could not pick up the different. We can't trust a
person by his race, creed, dress, position and sweet
talk.
Even Presidents and Prime Ministers lie and cheat. Not
only lies but also order for the killing of millions of
civilians. You saw that in Bush and Chenny and Rumsfeld.
Do you know such a person somewhere else ?
It
is difficult to find a principled man nowadays. When
comes to money and properties brothers fight each other,
children suing parents in court, God is thrown
aside.
Money does not only charm the UMNO Ministers but also
the men and women on the street. Taxi drivers ran away
with lap tops and people's belongings left in their
taxis, young officers marked up prices of department's
purchases.
|
Most would put their interests first.
No
secret should be told even to the closest of a friend.
Some how it will leak especially the bad one. Non
existing things will be added.
There had been a debate about mankind, whether they are
born good or by nature bad at birth. The Muslim says
that everyone is born good, he is shaped and carved by
the environment. Environment includes the parents and
society around him.
When we see the son of a religious person become so bad
or a Haji committed crimes you must not be surprised.
There have been long stories of Padi Kunca where those
who trust the Haji in the kampong were swindled by them
to poverty.
Salesmen and some business people would not be listed as
persons I can trust nor respect. The best of the
relationship is merely a superficial casual
conversation, no more than that. |
Back stabbings by friends are common events. Some do it
for money, office and some do for the sake of doing it.
Sadists.
One has to be strong
to keep things to oneself and would strive alone facing any problem
and to maintain straight posture. When he decides to kill,
he will kill without much talking or warning. He just
kill and walk away and never to be found. When he
decides to do good he does it quick and effectively and
walks away the same way.
Fools continue to
believe liars. You knock their heads, kicked them and
wound them, they would forget after RM500 later. The cycles
repeat. And they keep on running after their land were
robbed by the same people they chose. Their kids become
addicts and they continue to praise the wicked devils.
Just because they are fools. Their homes are being
harassed by petty thieves and robbers. Yet they
prefer the same politicians who promised them security.
You must not even
trust your kids. They lie to you thru their teeth. They
went out with |
boys and romance with them. You thought your kids go to
mosque to pray but instead they play around with their
motorbikes at the time of the prayer. Your kids lies as
much as your politicians.
It
is a risk to put a trust on someone. Take your own risk.
Luck is not always against your side. There are also
people with integrity regardless of their race, color or
creed.
At
time your intuition has always been right. You may be
gifted enough to judge characters by their looks.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT
'BREAK'
Old Malaysian hams
have been using BREAK to join in the conversation.
With the turn of the century literature viewed as
authoritative re-defined it's use and to wrong the past.
BREAK in CW is BK. BK in Morse is used in several ways.
I ask you a question and call for an immediate answer, I
used BK to pass back. And once you have given the answer
and pass back the transmission you use BK.
Of
course another use is when you want to join the
conversation, you press BK.
Then if we translate the CW procedure of breaking
in to join the conversation the old hams use BREAK.
9M2EG would say 'BREAKER....... |
BREAKER'
to join in and 9M2WT woud say 'BREAK. BREAK..'
As
I have said before those old hams must have learn from
the older hams. To say they
are wrong we have to
scrutinize the SOP on CW.
I
think we have to define and
recognize the authority. If
the FCC or MACC
rules does it mean
everything they say is
right ? One man's decision, however
high his position is,
cannot be deemed as the righteous and has
the authority over
everything.
I
fear that the use of BREAK was different
at different time
line and the 'command' was not on consensus.
If
we have different rule for different mode we really
have to justify
it.
But
BREAK and BK is to break a conversation. The term
has
|
a
clear meaning. The point of contention
is whether it is
suitable to break a conversation because one
wants to join the
group. The use of BREAK is said should depend
on the degree of
urgency which needs immediate attention.
Why use BREAK
at all if one can mention his called sign indicating
he wants to join
the group.
By and large I am
really blind about this.
Coming from a
remote less civilize locality I can only give a
wild view base on
logic and common sense not the true knowledge.
It
only make sense if there is a total consensus
of those who are
responsible for the designing and shaping terms
and SOP for
amateur radio.
In SSB the BK of CW
was placed with GO by the
old hams. And I do
the same, passing by GO after a question
asked. I am sure
those old timers do not invent stuffs themselves.

NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS
The mother of all
national security threat is corruption and abuse of
power. Corruptions involve billion of ringgit and saw
major failures in combating drugs which are killing many
of our young. In fact it has taken our blood day by day.
Ibrahim Ali and UMNO has been fanning racial hatred,
provoking both the Malays and the Chinese, creating
imaginary enemy and threatened the Chinese. And
who beat the war drum and called the opposition the
enemy of the state , and start to deploy Rela and the
police to guard Putrajaya ? Who give a threat to whom ?
The
public does not destroy MAS, PKZ or Perwaja Steel.
Those people in the limelight are responsible. It was no
more a threat but already destroyed the nation.
Land grabbers are robbers who rob the people. Mahathir
uses development as a smoke screen to siphon national
coffers.
Turning agriculture land to housing estate is greater
security threat. Food has always been our national
security and the security of other countries.
The
Mamak Gang is more mysterious. They link up and play for
support and striked. Aren't Mamaks are threat to
national security ? |
Let's open our eyes wider and accept the truth. How do
we expect the public to condone and support Shahrizat's
behavior ?
People are free to talk when bad things happen. And many
many bad bad things had happened. The list is well kept
for future reference.
The
country will be secured as long as we don't have
enemies. Do the laymen harness any army, police
and Reserve Units for war ? Even with the finding
of pig's head at the mosques people do not declare war
because they don't have or create enemies.
The citizens have the
right to choose the clean and good government. They have
to know who threat their money as his own. They have to
make sure no mafia or drug kingpin will have no share in
government. Exposing criminals is never a national
threat.
There will be public
cry if the police seems to be working for corrupt
politicians and use public funds and arsenals to protect
individuals who abuse their power, plundering public
funds and despotic leaders.
Is protecting bad
leaders the right things to do by the police ? Are
people who protest for clean election are far more worse
than the drug pushers ?
Is it a crime to ask
for a fair election ? Is it threatening when people want
to do away with all the voting frauds ? Is it wrong for
the public to lame Mahyuddin on the issue of NFC |
?
The police must know and remember that Najib or Mahyudin
is not a government. Similarly if PR rules this country
Anwar or Lim Guan Eng is not a government also.
Political leaders can represent or be foreign agents
themselves, as much as the ordinary men. The citizens
have the right to remove traitors or agents working for
other countries.
When I analyzed the happenings and the causal effects of
the Middle Eastern countries, I am just reminding
ourselves not to repeat similar abuse, suppression and
plundering spree. It is true that Libya fell just
because of a few Al-Queda agents. It was true that
Saddam was a popular government.
It
would be much better if the government does not create
enemies with it's own people. Ku Adnan and Mahyuddin see
only Shahrizat and her family, while million others are
focusing on the misuse of their money. It would be more
secured if the government takes back all the money and
put those involve in jail.
Hence the state of national security lies on the will of
the political leaders. They can either create the
security threat or erase them for good.
There is always the opposite reaction of an action.
There will be no BERSIH if there had been no hanky panky
and vote rigging, and now about the extra voters from
nowhere.
People are just not docile anymore. They want to see a
good government.
23/03/2012 |
Read some of the responses to the
statement made by the big shot in the
police force. You can assess the future
yourself. |
Facebook,
Twitter foster national security threats, say
police
March 23, 2012
KUALA LUMPUR,
March 23 — Social media sites such as Facebook
and Twitter have made Malaysians “liberal” and
thus more willing to commit acts that can
threaten national security, the police have
said.
Internal security
and public order director Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid
said the Internet posed a challenge to the
police as it allowed people “to know what was
going on in and outside the country”.
This would
encourage those who have been “influenced by
liberal thinking” to replicate locally what was
happening in other countries, Utusan
Malaysia quoted him as saying today.
“In a borderless
world, human thinking will change greatly,
particularly towards the liberal. They will say
things which cannot be done can be done...,” he
said at the 205th Police Day celebrations in
Bukit Aman yesterday.
“This is what
we’re afraid of because when the thinking of
Malaysians is driven by negative things,
specifically those that can threaten security
and public order, it can lead to a situation
where the country is no longer safe.”

WHEN MY
NEIGHBOR CAUSE QRM
At
the back of my house across the street there are
pirates. I don't bother to know who they are. I did not
ask the informer more question. But when one press the
PTT on 7.043 with the drive and mic gain on the signal
hit hard into my shack, I know he has to be my neighbor.
This guy must be foolish and thought he could get away
with the stupid move. He must be inviting big trouble.
What if he is a government servant ?
If
one day he gets a ticket he has to be bold enough and
shameless enough to come on the band. It is not because
I recognize his voice but because he comes from the same
house. I would know who he is.
He
might one day forget his foolishness but I don't. Such
kind of a person does not deserve |
to
be a ham operator.
There is always a limit to a patient. Hitting a neighbor
is always within my reach. If this guy can guess the
consequence he will be more careful with his equipment.
Rigs are easily available nowadays. Those with money can
own them.
They know that the MCMC has been very ineffective. When
the new authority took over from the telecom it
discarded several practices of the former authority. It
had a hard time to trace even the Radio Free Sarawak.
What the illegal broadcasting need to do is shifting the
transmitting stations every now and then. Talking with
former telecom officers we will know the total
difference.
The
statement that ham radio should be regulated by the
fellow hams does not hold |
water and not applicable to pirate stations. Moreover
the authority is said to approve and legalize pirate
stations as long as they are not on the ham band.
Today ham radio is already being used as a political
tool. So far by one political party. The other is still
restraining from the same activity.
Because the new was born in the new environment they did
not have a slightest idea of hamming before. If you
compare them it is at a sorry state.
It
is the old hams themselves who were responsible for introducing
the beginning of the havoc. I have already said this an
will not repeat it anymore.
Blaming me for a harsh remarks will not change things.
To know the worst is to listen and open the ears and
eyes. It is just my friend who said no one is using CW
because he did not hear them. |
If he cares to scan and listen at the
right time he will be shocked to know otherwise.
The
rogue behavior is not new. The Chinese dialect 'Lu ey ma
ho lang kan' would be used already by those who
experienced the QRM. The curse always go to the mother.
Was not the mother who produce such a kid ?
So
far in Malaysia the troubles shot up from the Malays.
Why has it has to happen this way ?
A
man looks like a man, talk like a man but inside him
could be a beast. You witnessed the killing and the
burning of the young kid, the rapping and murdering of a
bus passengers and many more abuses.
When the same kind of men come into the ham radio we can
imagine what sort of things can happen. My neighbor must
stop being one hell of a beast.

WHAT AM I TO GIVE TO
THEIR PARENTS ?
Three students from my
old school scored 8As. Two of them are from poor
families, one Indian from Tanjung Bunga Penang and the
other a Malay kampong girl. The girl entry level was
with only two As in her PMR.
When I was working I always give credit to the kids'
parents on their success. First and foremost is the
mother whom I believe as the most important figure in
the children's life.
I
asked my student who had been so caring for my wife
about the gift. She suggested a laptop. A laptop ? That
shook me very much. She could do it being a towkey, And
this morning when I asked the school Senior Assistant he
said I need to give nothing.
I
would like to share the joy of the parents though I have
never met or know them. I used to give tea sets and head
scarf . My student is thinking I am loaded. The school
knows I don't have much to spend.
I
forgot to count the 7As. There may be more than 20.
Certainly I can't afford to spend too much. I
just bought |
one
new wheel chair for my wife for easy transfer from bed
onto it and possibly from it onto the car. The whole set
cost me about 1K. I think something costing RM200 does
not tax me much. But what to buy ? Not for the kids but
for the parents.
The
money that God gives us is not for us alone. You buy
things and the money moves to someone else. You can give
part of it as a sedeqah, meaning you don't expect a
return.
Will it be a tea set again ? Will it be a complete suit
of cloth ? I think I should ask the view of a few women.
The
sacrifice of a parent is surmountable. They took
leave when the kids sit for the exam, saw that nothing
hindering the course of going for the test, relentlessly
praying for the well being of the children.
I
asked a 14 year old boy of why she should respect the
mother more and his reply ," She carried me for 9 moths
and 10 days." And I took a seven year old boy for
a dinner, he ordered a packet for his mother as well.
When my mother was alive, I had not given her as much as
I should have done. When she passed away I regretted and
I shed my tears. If I have missed I hope I would do it
in other ways that I can. |
I
called the head of departments not to be fussy with
employees on matters pertaining to attending the
parents. Though they are not a mother to these heads God
will furnished the deeds to the demise parents.
It
may sound crazy if we say extending our hands to other
old folks is paying back to our own parents whom we
missed to give much care.
The
award giving day will be on the 28th. of this
month. It is the same date as the Morse test in
Cyberjaya. It is also the same date when I have to go
for the blood test to read my kidney. Hospital will be
one solid day.
I
still have good female friend teachers in that school.
May be I should talk to them again. What am I to give to
the Indian mother and the two other Malay mothers ?
The
best is an Indian. Looking at the picture I commented
that that boy must be a good student in every aspect. I
was not wrong. The school explained his demeanor, his
proactive attitude and very commendable.
May
what your religion be, always pray to God for the well
being of your kids and the kids of others, for their own
and nation's sake.

Shahrizat
must go, repeats Wanita Umno No. 2
KUALA LUMPUR, March
22 — Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil must quit her
Wanita Umno post to preserve the credibility of the
party and Barisan Nasional (BN), the wing’s number
two has said.
Datuk Kamilia Ibrahim
told The Star it was not enough for
Shahrizat to step down as federal minister next
month and urged the latter to also retire as head of
Wanita Umno and Wanita BN.
Kamilia
(picture) pointed out that public
thought something was “morally and politically
wrong” with how National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp)
was run and that this was affecting polls
preparations.
NFCorp is headed by
Shahrizat’s husband, Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh
Ismail, who has been charged with criminal breach of
trust for allegedly misusing the cattle-rearing
company’s federal loan.
“I’ve gone down to
the grassroots and this is generally what the
members are saying. They are finding it hard to meet
the people when the image of their leader is
tarnished,” Kamilia told the daily.
“People are poking
fun at Wanita and calling us ‘cows’. The Wanita
grassroots are saying it’s difficult to work (for
the general election)... As a leader, we have to
listen to what the grassroots are saying.”
The prime minister
has already made it clear he no longer wanted
Shahrizat as minister and it was now up to Wanita
Umno and BN to decide if they would still accept her
as their head, she added.
Shahrizat announced
on March 11 that she would step down as women,
family and community minister when her term as
senator expires on April 8.
Her resignation came
after nearly five months of allegations that she and
her family had used a RM250 million government soft
loan earmarked for NFCorp to pay for personal
expenses.
NFCorp, which
supervises the National Feedlot Centre (NFC), hit
national headlines after the company made it into
the Auditor-General’s Report last year for missing
production targets.
|
Do you notice the
stubbornness of Shahrizat's husband ? When PAC summoned
him he sighted court case as an excuse. Not to be sub
judice the PAC will call the children and will ask
questions not pertaining to the court case.
Today someone asked
me about Najib's throwing money for votes, will he win ?
My answer was Shahrizat alone can kill UMNO. The
corruption on the citizens may not work. Najib was
almost beaten in the last GE had not because of the Orang Asli. And this time they have to increase voters
in Pekan by a big number.
BN should be
ashamed for cheating to win.
I am sure those who
saw Shahrizat's behavior during her speech would start
to loath her. Never look like a lady and never look like
a man. The red color and her face and her behavior shown
an image of a demon. While Najib was begging from the
people, she is declaring war on them.
The PHD husband had
said "We are paying back the loan otherwise we will be
in prison." The next day he blamed the government for
delaying the abattoir. In fact no money was paid yet.
For a simple rakyat they have to start making payment
even before the completion or the beginning of the
project.
Now, at home
doesn't she discuss anything with her PHD husband ? It
is difficult to believe that she says nothing and
pretend nothing is happening. Try to check the telephone
records to see who they rang up and what they discuss.
I have another UMNO
friend who has experience in rearing animals. He said
instead the government should help the people like him.
We already have a PHD and a lecturer who failed in
cattle even before NFC. Some time it made PHD
certificate smell like shit. It could be a certificate
of arrogance and stubbornness.
Her showing
defiance towards her God Father is the highest ever
arrogance on her part. If she is put to debate with
Rafedah I am sure the later will tear her apart. It will
so bad even the jumping Wanita who supported her will
lose their sarongs too.
Would we be jealous
of successful Malays ? There are many successful women
who had to struggle to climb up onto the highest
echelon. Many without the aid of the government though
some started with the help of FAMA.
We pray for their
continued successes. We don't look at their political
affiliation and ethnicity.
The other day I
went to an aluminium shop manned by a young and
beautiful Chinese lady whom I presumed as a Towkey. She
was so very friendly and jovial, running a business not
a business like. She made good money. I can't help but
comparing her.
Shahrizat is not
even 1/10th of Aishah Ghani. Sorry for the nation.

Attention on mentally
sick
We are observing each
other, and saw common and strange things, normal and
abnormal events. And we form
opinion. We must remember that mental capacity and the
structure of our minds are not always the same.
I have been seeing the
relationship between educational level and behavioral
pattern related to mental characteristics, to trace the
correlation between them.
Several behaviors seem
to be destructive, causing unstable emotional state
which in turn affect their health. Or it could be the
reverse ie the health that cause the destructive
behavioral pattern. For instant, the imbalance of a
certain liquid in the brain can cause madness.
Brain could be damage
by drugs. Addicts would do anything that a normal
person doesn't. It takes a certain kind of mind to
make a person a cold blooded killer, shooting children
without any regret or remorse.
I have been wanting to
know the whole family condition of a mentally sick person; the schooling of their kids,
educational ability and successes and other social
behaviors. |
When I rang up my former school asking about the number
of students getting straight As in the last SPM result,
my following question was about the parents; economic
standing and occupations of the father and mother.
On
the other hand I would want to know the family size, the
type of home and the economic standing of problem
children. Behaviors are usually derived by mental,
emotional and medical state or by the environmental
factors.
Bad
behaviors can be passed from a father to s son, which in
turn could inflict mental injury to the father. The kid
could not adjust himself to the social environment.
Too many of them could
hurt the society, brought disgrace to the race and
religion. The religion, ethnicity and the language will
be despised and rejected. A person of a certain
race or religion may be treated with suspicion and
distrust.
The topics on ethics
and morality is in the international forum. Tons of
literature are written on them.
But I don't
know how far they are
related to mental sickness. Could shame, morality and
ethics be determined by mental state ?
The fire intended to
burn someone burns himself is applied to bad behavior
which is inherited by the son who can cause havoc to his
own family and the circle of friends. |
Rude people does not only cause problem to his enemy but
also to his friends. They should cast him far into hell
fire.
In
the days when tradition and religion was strong and
dominant, such abnormal human being may have been burnt
as a witch or a friend of Satan. There was no
psychologist and psychiatrist then. There was
nobody to investigate as to the cause of bad behavior.
The
less severe mental sickness are usually ignored by many.
It would be a waste of time giving attention.
Those who are rude are rude no matter what. He could not
surely be the product of a few fathers or his mother's
intercourse with animal, could he ? But when I was a
kid, I have always heard the Chinese boys cursing 'Lu ey
ma ho lang kan'. That's what the brand is."Lu ey ma ho
lang kan."
True or not that's the dialect used everyday by boys to
express the anger. You are what you are as a result of
your mother's lust. That's what the phrase means.
When we see rude people then we know the product as the
saying goes.

APOM LENGGANG
I don't quite like
Apom Lenggang. But it is my wife's favorite. There are
two places that I know selling this apom, one at the Mee
Abu store beside SM Sultanah Bahiyah and another is at
the Giant et market. The Mee Abu is sold by a mamak
price at RM0.90 per piece and the other by a Malay lady
sold at RM0.30.
I
would buy twenty pieces; ten for my wife and the rest
for my maid. I did not buy for my own. My break is Majid
nasi tomato. For a plate of rice with an egg and a fish
cost me RM5,00. Replacing fish with beef cost me RM3.50.
Mutton will be RM6.50.
The
Apom Lenggan at the wet market started at about 8.00 am
and ended at about 10.30 or even earlier. Last time it
was my former student doing it. I am yet to ask the lady
the history of her business there. |
I
think the ingredient is simple. It was the preparation
and other hassles that people prefer buying to DIY.
Moreover housewives are also part of the workforce of
the nation. Do It Yourself is harder than to buy.
At the average five
pieces is ample for a normal person. With a glass of
coffee which is a ringgit and the apom it can drag us
till lunch.
This woman could make
a modest profit. She does not have to make her sale
everyday. She sells three days and doing something else
at home for |
the rest of the week.
Good businesses is a
bless to all. The customers can enjoy nice and cheap
food. And the sellers earned an honest living. The
authority should assist especially the unemployed youths
to do useful things.
The
Chinese in Kuala Lumpur also sell the same kind of apom,
but using basic technology for mass production.
The
number of Halal Malay delicacies in Americas and Europe
is almost nil as compared to the Chinese and Thai Tomyam.
You can find both in almost every town in the United
States. At time we have to make an advance booking of
day before the meal.
Once in London there was a Sate House which sold most of
the northern delicacies. There were rojak, mee rebus,
ikan bakar, laksa etc. Business was good. I don't know
what happens to the sate house now.
If
we have a restaurant selling goreng pisang, ais kacang
and apom lenggang as |
what the Chinese are doing then it will be only be fair.
We allow Mac Donald, Kentucky and Pizza Hut here. WE
should also allow the Americans to enjoy our food too.
Let
us pray for the well being of the small scale hawkers
who are struggling to make an hpnest living to finance
their children's education. Let's encourage the young
men to run small business instead of wasting their time
on motot biking and meeting friends.
Tomorrow if the apom lingam store opens my wife and maid
will continue to enjoy the delicious breakfast.

ANOTHER
STUPID MALAY
In January
this year I already paid the property tax to the local
authority, Majlis Perbandaran Kota Setar for the half yearly
rate. In fact I have paid all the government taxes. As always
the general public spend more in between December and January;
school uniform, bags and books for their kids, driving license,
insurance and road tax. I set aside about 2K of my ASB for the
common anual expenditure including the land and property taxes.
Yesterday
there was a red warning letter from Majlis Bandaraya demanding
the quick payment of Cukai Pintu. The warning was very severe ie
foreclosure.
This
morning I went to the department asking a lady at the counter
the difference between the two documents; the new bill and the
bill that has been paid. The lady asked me to wait. After 10
minutes later she ushered me to see a man in the other office. |
"Have
I not paid ? " I asked the man at the computer. He looked at me
and said, "Yes, you have paid and everything is clear ?"
"Then why
the warning letter ?"
"I don't
know."
"You are
wasting our time and money."
"Yes, I
know."
"Who is in
charge of your computer system ? "
"Me." The
man stood beside him said. I looked at him as asked me to
explain why the letters were still printed."
His friend
showed me a few hundred of the same complaints. And the officer
in charge of the program said,"Even bank made mistake."
I was damn
mad at the answer. I responded, "No wonder the Chinese said the
Malays |
are stupid."
"U don't write the software.
This is from Kuala Lumpur," was his instantaneous reply.
I grabbed
back my bill like a tiger and walked out of the office.
With piles
of complaints they could have taken appropriate actions rather
than preparing the answer with 'Even banks make mistakes'.
I have
prepared a letter to Dato' Bandar and will post it tomorrow. The
letters to Biro Pengaduan Awam and other relevant ministries
will depend on the action taken. If within a week I do not get
the reply I will have to proceed.
The dumb
programmer is as dumb as the officer in charge of the ICT. I am
sure he must be a graduate.
We are
seeing too many educated people doing stupid things and talking
like stupid kids. |
50 years
after independent the Malays still show their inefficiency and
stupidity. If an important institution acted like a robber then
it is not surprising every politician looks for the chance to be
one.
I was about
to yell at him at the answers given, the bank making mistakes to
justify his own Such a man should not been pitied and
thrown out of office.

A DREAM OF
A WOMAN
The dream
of a woman is to be the powerful queen at home. I know at least
two women who made rules for the husbands to follow and place
all the kids under the command.
The
husbands obey, washing and cleaning dresses belonging to the
whole family, looking after new born babies and followed the
programs set by the wives.
One of the
husbands grumbled but not to the wife. We termed it as Queen
Control.
Men can
submit without any resistance. At the same time they find better
women who in turn serve them like a slave, and the wives never
suspect what really happen.
I see
nagging wives every where. And I wonder whether Rosmah nag as
well. And I wonder how Shahrizat treat her husband. From her
statement Shahrizat seems to express that she does not care what
her husband does.
But I
always believe Queen Control is sinful. Shouting
and arguing with a husband comes under a major sin.
Liberated Malaysian women could demand total freedom. |
Nagging is
not as bad as neglecting a sick husband, or scolding her sick
spouse when he asks for help, or coming back late leaving the
helpless husband hungry.
It would be
interesting to observe what will happen to such a wife. People
of science will not believe in God retribution. If the wife
falls critically ill beyond normal medication they will say it
is just a co-incidence.
I have
students who asked their wives to quit jobs and be a full
domestic engineer. I observed the docility of an educated wife
brings happiness to the family.
Children do
keep the family intact. But there are cases where spouse with
several kids divorced and each went his own way.
Try to
imagine Rafedah Aziz; is she a nagging wife ? Rafedah is a tough
and highly intelligent woman, fearless and 'obstinate'. She is a
perfectionist. Her husband has to cope up with her to keep in
phase. I think her husband is scared
of her. But it could not be her dream to be dominant. She was
cut that way since birth.
A nagging woman usually
remained unmarried especially when they hold high post jobs.
Several school principals remain spinsters.
|
Men may tolerate a beautiful
wife, nagging or no nagging. If she wants to be the queen let
she be. They may be wiling to be slaves.
As for my friend who is
conscious of the wife complete control I just feel sorry. At
time he must show that he is the master of the house.
I can't say about other women
in other world. But it Malaysia there is such thing as 'Nasi
Kangkang'. A wife prepares hot food for the husband and trap the
steam guiding it to her vagina. The vapor that dropped back onto
the food would made her husband obey her in every word. |
The 'nasi
kangkang' is also called 'nasi tangas' .
I wish and hope the women
ministers do not believe in Nasi Kangkang just to control their
husbands.
Every time I saw a shouting
and yelling women on TV, my imagination ran wild. Are they iron
fisted women or women with chattering mouths.
A brave man fight a lion and
show no fear of hostile giants, but he is darn scared of his
wife. He talks aloud in public but says nothing at home.
And women are always proud of
their gifted power, the power to charm people.

HAM RADIO - THE PRIDE OF SOME |
pass the
exam. Fprget about pride and throw the ego away.
Take a
challenge to prove that those who accused you as stupid is
wrong. And you can give a wide smile and demand them to salute
to you. You are not an incapable person.

CW test is
on 28/03/2012. I don't know how many from my town will be
sitting for it. And I don't know the number of candidates.
As usual I
offered to help people to learn Morse and to make sure they pass
the test. Our time was without computer and without teachers. We
strive hard to make sense out of strange sounds. I took a year
to learn the basic because I was not so smart.
I know that
some people try to learn but they found it difficult. I never
believe in impossibility. People can train animals to do work
and even to operate machines. If animals can be taught surely it
will not be difficult for a human to learn.
I think
these people are too proud of themselves, or they think I am not
fit to train them. Or they think I would look down upon them. It
is more of a pride than an arrogance.
A person
who assessed himself as highly intelligent and smart is always
afraid of failure and being ridiculed. They fail to understand
that everyone in this world has weaknesses. Teachers who
ridiculed their students are not fit to be in the profession.
They themselves are full of weaknesses. |
Obviously I
have to praise those who go for the challenge. The gut of facing
hardship and to conquer the unknown was the way of the old
adventurers. They conquered almost the whole world by their
courage.
I would
scold students who asked their mothers to do things for them,
even to fill in application forms. An 18 year old boy is not a
small kid anymore.. Pampered kids have a low survival rate.
Learning
from a teacher is not a 'kowtow'. It is just a process of
getting knowledge and skill to enhance our inner self. The
success of a student depends on the teacher. If I can't make
them pass, it is me who do not have the ability to teach and
instruct.
Would I
charge any fee ? Would I any favor ? At least one Chinese
teacher in my former school told me,"Cikgu, you give a knowledge
away, more will come to you." Once upon a time and even now many
people believe that knowledge comes from God. Sharing the
knowledge for free is one of the good thing that we can do. And
helping people with the hope for a return is not
wise either. It
can end in disappointment.
Let our
friends be humble and low profile and willing to accept our help
to make them acquire the CW skill and |
PRIDE OF A
MAN
Most of the
people I met give a high assessment of themselves especially
people of higher office. They think they know all.
That is the
reason why we see changes after the change of a new Head of
Department. The new always think that before was always bad.
A
change will not always be better though a few may be a real
efficient innovations. When it deteriorated and showed a decline
the current administration would still think it is great.
Institutions sometimes take 10 to 20 years to build and achieve
excellence but it could take only a few months to collapse.
Malaysian Airline is one of them. UMNO is another. And it always
happen in government departments.
I hate a
Head of Department who would immediately fell big trees of the
office compound. This is usual in schools. Trees take 20 years
to grow and it takes 20 minutes to destroy. They destroy trees
they also destroy shades and wind breaker and increase health
risk.
Why did
they do all those changes ? Because they think they are smart
enough. These things happen at all level of
society. People
assessed themselves highly. They are the most capable and the
most perfect.
I live in a
small world. Most of the new knowledge were acquired informally.
I thought myself computing. So are many others who taught
themselves.
18/03/2012 |
I developed a simple web
page using a simple software for my former school. I was one man who is half
blind the blinds. I left the school in 2000.
Teachers came in and out
and the Head changed almost every 3 years. New courses were introduced. When
highly qualified teachers came in, expert in programming and other computing
stuffs, I had to withdrew.
The school web page changed
name from smtjs.net to smvas.net. It has been since five months it is under
construction.
I talked to the teacher
concern. I felt so small because my knowledge could not match his. I used a
simple ASP for managing database of all sort. He will be using a PHP and JAVA.
Both are not within my grasp.
This change is for
the better. Good things do not come fast and easy.
In my previous articles I
described the physical change and landscaping. The school won several
awards at the national level and waves of visitors came to learn what we did.
The peak was Najib's visit.
When I left the next
Headmaster wanted to make things better, and better, and better. It was so well
done that the winning spree disappeared.
The school has to make a visit to other winners.
Privatization was suppose
for the better. They started with elegance. A few years later they felt sick,
one by one. Proton changed head and Proton went almost astray. Felda is the next
to make the settlers and the Malays sick and die. |
Conversing
with people with pride could be fun if we are good listeners.
They can tell you that the whole world is at their feet. They
speak like great philosophers.
Remember my
previous article on a young doctor who insisted that my
wife's coughing was due to kidney ? He is one of those.
Ego is the
word. Everyone has it but not everyone shows it. It is only
sickening when one is trying to downplay the others. The current
VC of University Malaya's statement that the University has
never been excellent is another example.
How much
better of the world today than yesterday ? Even in the United
States today there are many depressed people. People lose houses
and jobs. Killings happen almost every other day.
When ego
and arrogance combined there is a tendency for tyranny. Morality
fades. Religion vanished.
We hope our kids grow to be
honest and trustworthy |
