< Islam is not Pagan and

The Protestants are saying the Catholic
pope is anti-Christ - the Beast. They believe that the
end of the world is near. The Dajjal, gog and magog is
already here. There will be the distruction of Damascus
and Mecca due to the war. Islam has to stay mum but
signs of the end has been numerous.
The Dajal is
associated with the one eye symbol of the NWO. The Eye
is found in Catholic churches. Pope of Rome is a Beast
or a Dajjal. Islam does not say so but the Protestant.

An
Imam who passed Morse Test
It is of our Malaysian record for an Imam to pass a
Morse Test. CW has never been easy and it takes only
special people to be able to master the skill. It also
disproof the Western prejudice that the uncivilized
cannot be civilized. Religious individuals were said to
be backward and could not contribute to physical
development. Leong Sik and Sammy Veloo had been
insulting the Muslims and Islam insinuating religious
people are moronic.
Today an Ustaz can write computer soft ware, repair cars
and even expert in welding. For a very long time Ustaz
are very well verse in mathematics and astronomy.
On 23rd October 2012 Ustaz Ilyias was one of the
thirteen who grab the flag. Twenty others failed. Now he
can converse in at least 4 languages; Malay, English,
Arabic and Morse. Just imagine when Ustaz Ilyias
communicate with HZ or and other Arab stations and he
told them his profession as a cleric or Imam or Bilal,
surely his popularity will spread far and beyond among
the Arab nations.
I have heard Ustaz Ilyias on CW before from a club
station. I was amazed at his ability and I knew he would
get thru with flying colors.
CW is a test of perseverance and endurance, a strong
will power and mental concentration. It trains a person
to organize himself and instilling a positive attitudes.
Ustaz Ilyas found a great Elmer in 9M2ZAK, Zaki, who
coached him the best possible technique. In Islam a
Muslim is required to find a teacher who could pinpoint
any error made. Ustaz Ilyas complies with the
requirement.
Congratulation to Ustaz Ilyias.

I
was to busy to make a backup for this page. I did not
expect I will encounter with the problem and human
error. As such articles written in October are all
missing and I can't remember what they are except for
one topic about a Malaysian cleric who sit for the tough
Morse Test and passed it. I don't even remember what I
wrote. What I will be writing will certainly be
different from the original one. |
A
Day In My Life |
Watching
3 D at Home |
I never
knew before that we can watch 3D movies
at home until I went to an electronic
shop. It was just like the 3D I saw in
Disneyland and Universal Studio. The
birds flew out of the screen and came
straight to your face, and you dodge
when objects flying to your face. You
buy a 3D TV you will get between 2 to 6
3D glasses. LG gives 4-6 glasses and
Viera 2.

Knowledge is no more a monopoly. Thanks to
the internet which would provide a quick
answer to questions asked. You can also
listen to life lectures from renown
Professors in your room.
The
last I was trying to find out is the
different between the LCD and LED TV. The
illustration was clear and explicit.
I
found it hilarious when I heard nurses
giving lectures about food to patients with
high blood sugar reading. Patients were told
not to eat sweet fruits. Deducting all fruit
without sweetness there is nothing left a
diabetic can eat.
There are information on healthy food in the
internet, on sicknesses and diseases. When
one has any doubt one can always consult the
web site, for example 'Does metformin affect
kidney..'
While knowledge is in abundance and freely
available a skill cannot be accessed through
reading. It is acquired through repeated
practices. |

Our
life style changes with time and age. Now I am 65 and my
wife is 63. We are both alone as the kids are working in
Kuala Lumpur. My wife has been sick for more than 15
years suffering from stroke to the removal of a bone in
the spinal cord. Now she is unable to stand nor walk and
under the dialysis treatment.
Each
morning I left her alone going to look for food. Her
favorite breakfast is Nasi Dagang. Occasionally she
asked for a change. And I would go for Nasi Kandar Majid.
Arriving home, I would first feed my cat, arranging
breakfast on the table and transfer my wife onto a
wheel-chair. She is big and much heavier than I. Lifting
her is not easy. I learned from the YouTube video how to
do the transfer.
Taking
her to bath is not a simple matter because she prefer
not to take a bath. I pushed the wheel chair into the
bathroom and cleaned her up. It took about 15 minutes
before I combed her hair and powdered her. Covering the
wet wheel chair with rubber mats and after waiting for a
few minutes I pushed the chair back to her bed. Again I
lifted her back onto the pillow to put her pampers and
her dress.
After
a short rest there was another lift. I used a different
wheel chair to bring her to the breakfast table. I
injected insulin, putting a couple of Calcium tablets in
front of her, preparing other medicines and I gave her a
go for her meal.
At
11.30 I would take her to Kedah Medical Center for her
dialysis. To transfer her from the wheel chair onto a
car I put a plastic slider beneath her butt, pushed her
body forward and pull her onto the car using a piece of
cloth placed on the slider. It would be much simpler for
another helper; one pushing her body and another pulling
the cloth.
The
hardest task was lifting her up onto the bed from the
wheel chair and vice versa, and from the wheel chair
onto the dialysis chair and back.
At
about 4.30 pm I went to pick her up, went to buy her
dinner and came back home. After administering her
medication I left her alone to take her dinner while I
would go for a walk for an hour.
At 830
pm - 9.00 pm there would be her call of nature. She had
to do it in bed. I arranged the pampers for easy removal
of her bowel. The total process will take about 15
minutes inclusive of the replacing of the new pampers.
I let
my wife watched TV until she went asleep. From time to
time she would call me up at 2 to 3 pm to push her body
to the left and right.
I had
a maid working for 8 months. She asked me for a
permission to return home to Medan for 10 days but never
to come back again. Another maid ? Not in the near
future and not the Indonesian. I treated her extremely
well, spending thousands of ringgit buying dresses and
foodstuffs for her kids back home in Medan, paid her all
traveling expenses, buying her make ups and dresses,
providing the best food she ever had. She came with one
bag and she went back with 5 heavy bags. Indonesian maid
is a phobia for me. My taking care of my wife gives me
pleasure and satisfaction.
I told
her, "If you die first it is not a problem. But if I die
first you are going to have hell of a problem."

Feeding Stray Cats |
MY
CATS |
I have written on the same topic before on this page. I
did not remember what I wrote. This missing topic just
came back and I will try to briefly
recalling as much as I can.
It was one late night when I felt hungry and went out
for a baked burger. It was almost midnight and the stall
was about to close. I saw one Chinese lady came out of a
car with a bag. In the car was a man whom I assume as
her husband.
The cats went to her. She took out something which I
figured as some kind of food. She was talking to the
cats. I remember a story from a friend who narrated
about a Chinese lady going to fish market every morning
feeding the stray cats, talked to them and even gave
them medicine.
This could not be the same lady. I also remember of a
Chinese lady teacher who worked with me buying a cat
food. She said it was not for her cats but for the
stray.
Of course we should ponder over the small incidences.
Kindness and humanity do not recognize racial group. Any
politicians who are fond of demonizing any particular
racial group is himself a demon.
Certainly she has a heart rather than believing in the
reincarnation or rebirth. She would not believe any of
those cats are her great grand parents.
I feed the cat because I believe in God. I believe the
cats also pray to the God to give them lives through the
men who feed them. What God gives us is to be shared
with others.

One of my cats named Bat Cat has given birth
to three kittens which are now big enough to
catch a tiny mouse. They still feed on their
mother's milk. At time they took the cat
food I gave them. The food the kittens like
most was the fried chicken from KFC. My wife
enjoyed feeding them with chickens.
This is nothing compared to the one cat that
I had before, which was ran over by a car.
That particular cat was fond of durian. I
bought the fruit just for her. While opening
the durian she would patiently waited until
done.
I talk to my cats. Hopefully they would
somehow understood me through the brain
wave.
Do I get richer ? NO. Do I get poorer ? NO.
To date I still can afford to buy food for
them. The price is soaring. I manage it.

Funny People in Ham
Radio |
|
I am one of the
funniest people in Ham Radio but much dislike by others.
There are people who are very popular and likeable by
many but I see them in different perspective. There are
senior hams who fought for no-CW, proposing their ideas
to the MCMC made themselves present at the CW test
center to show support for the candidates. I just simply
could not understand these people. You have to take only
a single stand; either supporting the CW or not
supporting it.
Secondly there have
been a lot of back stabbing going round. A and B are
friends. A tells B about C. Both are stabbing C to the
worst possible words used. Later B will tell C about B
spreading hatred on C. They spent time on the phones
more than on the radio. Harboring of hatred has been
normal in Malaysian ham radio.
Thirdly, I have heard
news about the senior hams expressing regret for
bringing in the class B in Malaysian ham radio because
of the abuses and deteriorating standard of
communications. 9Ws were heard to broadcast information
and talking alone like a teacher on various subjects.
They invent other call signs, going out of ham frequency
and talk to their non-license friends using the invented
call signs. They talk to the pirates and proudly and
aggressively championing both the local and the
Indonesian non-license stations.
At the same time they
are talking of million hams in Malaysia to boost
the business of ham radio. They said even criminals and
drug pushers have their right to be ham operators.
Terrorists or criminals or drug pushers are not the
affair of amateur radio. They are the affairs of the
police and the law.
The objective of ham
radio is now taking a different shape. It is becoming a
political tool. People related to the hobby direct or
indirectly are forming the PERKASA group, reporting the
movement of the political foe to the political leader to
ease the throwing of red paint and the stoning of their
vehicles. What if the other group were to hit back at
Najib or UMNO leaders using the radio ?
When those senior hams
regret it is nothing to console them. They had been
wrong from the beginning and will always be wrong in the
future. They said that nobody can see the future. The
imbecile excuse can never be accepted. Future can always
be computed by investigating all the possibilities. It
is very true that the stark different between the
Chinese and the Malays is one compute the far future and
the others don't.

Morse Code Test Is Difficult |
|
I
have to admit the Malaysian Morse test today is more
difficult than before. The passage could be anything. If
I were to sit for the test again I might fail. The last
test held on the 23rd October 2012 even had the name
Norodom Sihanouk and Pnom Penh.
During our time the test was held anywhere there
were candidates and testers in that area. Because there
wasn't any tester in Alor Setar I was instructed
to go to Penang. There were only candidates, and we were
called to a room one by one. The tester sent passages
which he said at 12 wpm. I felt it was much slower than
that. After reading my answer he gave me a passage to be
sent.
Today candidates were gathered at one center, Cyber Jaya
where the office of MCMC is. I eavesdropped to listening session. I Thought it was faster
than what I had before. The passage is longer. Certainly
it is more difficult than before.
No
wonder the new 9M2s are very good in CW and able to
decode just by listening. The average speed when they
work DX is 25 wpm. I could only work 12 wpm.
This ability proves that the uncivilized can always be
civilized. We can attain what the others can.
Only at 60 I can do Morse fairly well at 12 wpm. And
when I worked CW most of the time I would close my eyes
listening and sending. At a certain time I went into a
short nap especially during the long chat. Speed below
25 wpm is most comfortable using the straight key.
Between 25 to 40 wpm I would use an iambic key borrowed
from 9M2GET. High speed chat were always with Mazwan
,9M2ZN.
I
would not complaint if the test is set to a high degree
of difficulty. Those who pass are really good and
excellent. Their rate of survival is high and they will
be able to conquer other harder challenges in their
lives.

FRENCH REVOLUTION FROM http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/louis.htm |
|
The Execution of Louis XVI, 1793
|
Louis XVI in better times |
Louis
XVI, king of France, arrived in the wrong historical
place at the wrong time and soon found himself
overwhelmed by events beyond his control. Ascending the
throne in 1774, Louis inherited a realm driven nearly
bankrupt through the opulence of his predecessors
Louis XIV and XV. After donning the crown, things
only got worse. The economy spiraled downward
(unemployment in Paris in 1788 is estimated at 50%),
crops failed, the price of bread and other food soared.
The people were not happy. To top it off, Louis had the
misfortune to marry a foreigner, the Austrian Marie
Antoinette. The anger of the French people, fueled by
xenophobia, targeted Marie as a prime source of their
problems.
In 1788, Louis was forced to
reinstate France's National Assembly (the
Estates-General) which quickly curtailed the king's
powers. In July of the following year, the mobs of Paris
stormed the hated prison at the Bastille. Feeling that
power was shifting to their side, the mob forced the
imprisonment of Louis and his family. Louis attempted
escape in 1791 but was captured and returned to Paris.
In 1792, the newly elected National Convention declared
France a republic and brought Louis to trial for crimes
against the people.
On January
20, 1793, the National Convention condemned Louis XVI to
death, his execution scheduled for the next day. Louis
spent that evening saying goodbye to his wife and
children. The following day dawned cold and wet. Louis
arose at five. At eight o'clock a guard of 1,200
horsemen arrived to escort the former king on a two-hour
carriage ride to his place of execution. Accompanying
Louis, at his invitation, was a priest, Henry Essex
Edgeworth, an Englishman living in France. Edgeworth
recorded the event and we join his narrative as he and
the fated King enter the carriage to begin their
journey:
"The King, finding himself seated in
the carriage, where he could neither speak to me nor be
spoken to without witness, kept a profound silence. I
presented him with my breviary, the only book I had with
me, and he seemed to accept it with pleasure: he
appeared anxious that I should point out to him the
psalms that were most suited to his situation, and he
recited them attentively with me. The gendarmes,
without speaking, seemed astonished and confounded at
the tranquil piety of their monarch, to whom they
doubtless never had before approached so near.
The procession lasted almost two
hours; the streets were lined with citizens, all armed,
some with pikes and some with guns, and the carriage was
surrounded by a body of troops, formed of the most
desperate people of Paris. As another precaution, they
had placed before the horses a number of drums, intended
to drown any noise or murmur in favour of the King; but
how could they be heard? Nobody appeared either at the
doors or windows, and in the street nothing was to be
seen, but armed citizens - citizens, all rushing towards
the commission of a crime, which perhaps they detested
in their hearts.
"We are arrived,
if I mistake not."
|
The carriage proceeded thus in
silence to the Place de Louis XV, and stopped in the
middle of a large space that had been left round the
scaffold: this space was surrounded with cannon, and
beyond, an armed multitude extended as far as the eye
could reach. As soon as the King perceived that the
carriage stopped, he turned and whispered to me, 'We are
arrived, if I mistake not.' My silence answered that we
were. One of the guards came to open the carriage door,
and the gendarmes would have jumped out, but the
King stopped them, and leaning his arm on my knee,
'Gentlemen,' said he, with the tone of majesty, 'I
recommend to you this good man; take care that after my
death no insult be offered to him - I charge you to
prevent it.'… As soon as the King had left the carriage,
three guards surrounded him, and would have taken off
his clothes, but he repulsed them with haughtiness- he
undressed himself, untied his neckcloth, opened his
shirt, and arranged it himself. The guards, whom the
determined countenance of
|
Marie Antoinette, wife of
Louis and Queen of France |
the King had for a moment
disconcerted, seemed to recover their audacity. They
surrounded him again, and would have seized his hands.
'What are you attempting?' said the King, drawing back
his hands. 'To bind you,' answered the wretches. 'To
bind me,' said the King, with an indignant air.
'No! I shall never consent to that: do what you have
been ordered, but you shall never bind me. . .'
The path leading to the scaffold was
extremely rough and difficult to pass; the King was
obliged to lean on my arm, and from the slowness with
which he proceeded, I feared for a moment that his
courage might fail; but what was my astonishment, when
arrived at the last step, I felt that he suddenly let go
my arm, and I saw him cross with a firm foot the breadth
of the whole scaffold; silence, by his look alone,
fifteen or twenty drums that were placed opposite to me;
and in a voice so loud, that it must have been heard it
the Pont Tournant, I heard him pronounce distinctly
these memorable words: 'I die innocent of all the
crimes laid to my charge; I Pardon those who have
occasioned my death; and I pray to God that the blood
you are going to shed may never be visited on France.'
|
Louis' head is shown to
the crowd,
from a contemporary illustration |
He was proceeding, when a man on
horseback, in the national uniform, and with a ferocious
cry, ordered the drums to beat. Many voices were at the
same time heard encouraging the executioners. They
seemed reanimated themselves, in seizing with violence
the most virtuous of Kings, they dragged him under the
axe of the guillotine, which with one stroke severed his
head from his body. All this passed in a moment. The
youngest of the guards, who seemed about eighteen,
immediately seized the head, and showed it to the people
as he walked round the scaffold; he accompanied this
monstrous ceremony with the most atrocious and indecent
gestures. At first an awful silence prevailed; at length
some cries of 'Vive la Republique!' were heard. By
degrees the voices multiplied and in less than ten
minutes this cry, a thousand times repeated became the
universal shout of the multitude, and every hat was in
the air."

Eyeballing |
ARE HAMS
CRIME BUSTER ? |
Words spread around among the ham radio communities that
I don't like to mix with people. True that I do not know
who the local ham members are and never join their
regular eyeballing. I am aware of the various radio
clubs in town.
When people get together they talk and joke. Some gossip
and find satisfaction at inventing tales and lashing at
people they don't like. A few meet to discuss technical
and social issues.
I prefer to stay home and watch You Tube and learn
things about the world. I would not join a group whom I
don't know their back ground, behaviors, characters and
morality. I could not go along with rude people and
people who do not respect laws. I would not want to be a
hero to drug pushers, cheaters and criminals. Even one
bad guy in Ham Radio is too many.
Even if the community consist of responsible and ethical
people I see no benefit in the prolong chatting. Since
we already have ham radio equipments might as well use
them for chatting.
Being discarded and labeled as a deviant does not hurt
me. Neither would I regard the group as my enemy.
One the other hand if I were invited to teach Morse
Codes I would be very glad to provide free service. The
desire to learn is a great reward for me. That will be a
fruitful eyeballing and the same time it enhance the
group ability.

Some
people think with radio network they could combat
crimes. Criminals are everywhere and we can't recognize
them. It takes a sharp eye to pinpoint a suspect, and we
can't simply arrest a person just on a mere suspicion.
Even the real counter with one, the best a ham can do is
to report. The criminal may be armed or an expert in Tae
Kwan Do.
If
hams are zealous to be a crime buster they must go for
proper training including the first aid and combating
procedures.
We
have the police , RELA and other security bodies to do
the job. The professionals have all the time. Only the
unemployed hams have all the time to do the patrolling
work.
I over
heard on a radio of someone reporting of a burning
stolen cables. The command center asked whether the
thieves were caught. The thieves ran with the copper
loot. Nobody was caught. So much with the crime buster.
Why
are there so much fuss in crime busting and other
activities ? The real reason is there are many people
who own radio equipments but do not pass the Radio
Examination. With the idea of providing community
services they expect their activities and equipments
would be legalized.
How
about disaster communication ?
Even
disaster communications need training and exercises.
There are local and international disaster frequencies
allocated. JPAM and the police are professional people
who have been handling disaster very well.
You
can't bust crimes by staying at home and start bragging
away about the greatness of your organization. It is not
your radio that can fight crime but yourself. |
Fouled-mouth politicians never cease
repeating the phrase the rakyat should
should show gratitude to the kindness of the
government.
By the
show of gratitude the rakyat should not
grumble when rewards were given to UMNO
Ministers, like the projects and the 250K.
Rafizi should be thankful to PETRONAS and
should not join opposition parties.
Who
should be thankful to whom ? The salaries
paid to the Ministers belong to the people
and it was the people who put them there. It
is Mahathir and Sharizat who should thank
the populace.
Just
look at the Mamak and Mummy's faces when
they shamelessly uttered such a phrase.
Telling the mass to thank them is telling
them to say 'Yes' to the plundering of
public funds. |

Mahathir - Malays
Are Beggars in their own country |
The Blunt
PERKASA's Keris
PERKASA's
keris is not only blunt to save the Malays
from drugs, laziness and poverty but the
leaders are composed of old men who are
counting their days.
PERKASA
/ UMNO admitted the Malays do not achieve
the economic target. Are they blaming the
Chinese ? They should blame themselves,
nothing less than that.
What
PERKASA is that if they are training the
Malay youth to be Samseng and hooligans,
instead of finding ways to enhance their
skill and academic standings. The number of
Malays on heroin and other dangerous drugs
do not show fading. The morality of the
Malays are going down.
Ibrahim
Ali is an expert in goat's sex. |
|
Mahathir is saying
that the Malays are beggars in their own country after
more than 50 years of independent. And from that time
onwards to this very date UMNO has been saying it the
party that is saving and taking good care of the Malays.
Try to remember what UMNO has been telling the Malays at
every election.
Who are not beggars ?
The Mamak or the Pakistanis. They are wealthy in foreign
land like Malaysia, and calling themselves Malays. They
get the mega projects, RM250 million of free money and
much more. As observed all Mamaks have the same
character which is termed as ranggi.
The Malaysians and the
Malays can't afford to buy a
descent home now. A house costs between
500K to 800K. It is UMNO's policy that drove the house
price sky high, giving encouragement to property
development to be sold to the foreigners, whereas in
China even people across the Province need to seek
permission to buy a house and migrate to the new
province. Here UMNO talks of the GDP's growth and
develipment. New Zealand does not abuse and plunder it's
land for development.
The poor Malays were
either robbed of their land by Land Acquisition Act or
were told to sell their land and invest in shares. The
million ringgitb these Malays get last them for only a
few years. Their children and grand children can't
afford to buy a small house then.
We could still ask
Mahathir what he did with Bank Bumiputera, MAS, PERWAJA.
But we know his children own oil fields in Kelantan.
It looks like Mahathir
was voicing the grudge of the Malay Chambers of Commerce
for the lacking of shares in the MRT. If it was so
certainly the man he chose to replace Pak Lah was to be
blamed. Yes, he blamed Najib for giving too much
concessions to the Chinese. He should blame himself.
Najib is begging from
everyone in exchange for money and promises. The
promises were made 50 years ago and repeating itself
year by year.

The Temple
of Solomon is said to be the Stargate where
the aliens meet the the selected people. The
Freemason said the extraterrestrial will
come back to the earth to continue the work
they had left. This aliens are said to have
tremendous energy as described by the
visitors to the Stargate at the temple.
Some say the
powerful being is Lucifer. The Christians
believe Lucifer is a Satan.
Others
believe the aliens are called Annunaki. |
Vimana was
an ancient Indian space craft. The 5000 year

UFO
CRAZE |
UFO was said as
a HOAX with the purpose of uniting the world under ONE
government called NEW WORLD ORDER.
To make NWO
possible is to create a COMMON ENEMY. The common enemy
is the alien.
Hence all
footings and books on the coming of aliens has a single
purpose. It will be combine with the project Blue Beam
to make the world believe of their lives are threatened
by the aliens. |
As the
stories go there were several UFO crashes on the earth.
One famous crash was in Mexico at a place called Roswel.
Somehow the United States hijacked the space craft to a
secret area in Nevada called Area 51. All other crashes
in the other part of the world were stolen back to North
America. It was in this secret lab the military studied
the design of the anti-gravity propulsion system of the
alien and at the same time were learning how to navigate
the vehicles. The success made USA manufactured several
designs of the flying machines and tested them.
The
achievement was astonishing. The craft can travel at the
speed of light and it was claimed that the journey to
Mars will be within minutes.
Several American Presidents acknowledge of the existence
of UFO. Reagan addressed United Nation about the world
uniting against any hostile attack by the aliens.
There
are scholars who don't believe in alien technology of
UFO. It was said the first saucer was experimented in
Germany during World War 2. After the war the scientist
who fled to South America continued with the saucer
projects. Those UFOs sighted were either from South
America or the United States of America.
The
archeologists who studied the world's pyramids believe
that there were extraterrestrial beings that came to the
earth and taught the populace or human engineered
mankind. Long and huge skeletal remains called nephilim
were found. They also believe the aliens were using
spaceships called Vimana to travel the earth. Today the
Vimna is said to be in Afghanistan.
Aliens
were said to communicate with us using Crop Circle.
Crop circles are patterns have been created
in wheat, barley, canola, trees, ice, rice paddies and
linseed.
As far
as I am concern there are surely man made flying
objects. USA has the most and had warned China of it's
capabilities. Though skeptic I could not totally discard
the possibility of the real aliens are around us. As for
why they are here it is for our conjecture.

The
churches said the Bible guarantee the end of time
beginning from 25th May when there was a Second Coming
of Jesus from Heaven saving the believers. The process
of bringing the Christians to heaven by Jesus is called
RAPTURE. The rest will continue to suffer for another 5
months before the whole world will be destroyed. The
message of the end were spread by the radio, internet
and groups going by vans all over the United States.
Many quit their jobs to go to heaven.
The Jews found it very
hilarious because they do not believe in Jesus. The
Muslims never have a date though signs of the end have
been identified.
Now that the date has
passed and nothing happened those who lost their jobs
and homes were trying to start anew again. Some still
believing in the bible. Certainly it was a winning for
the Atheists and the Jewish influence will continue to
strengthen in the United States.
It is interesting to
note that there are several Jesuses already in several
areas. There was one in Siberia and another in
Australia.
Jesus of Siberia
Jesus of Australia
The Christians never
gave up. They said the end will still come but this time
in December 2012 when the WW3 happen. Iran is said to
mentioned by the bible and a form of Gog and Magog. The
Bible prophesized the coming of the anti-christ. The
first to be accused of the Vactican Pope. Then Obama.
Then the Muslims.
Islam believes that
Jesus will descend in Damascus Syria through the White
Minarret. Before the end Jurussalem, Mecca and Damascus
will face destruction.

We
thoght all the past 30+years BN/UMNO was looking
after the nation's interest . . !
What a joke ; we have all being screwed thru' &
thru' . . . . !
All this time stupid old me thought that the oil fields belong to the people under Petronas' management.
Now we find out our oil fields belong to umnoputras ???
Malaysians being screwed by you know who . . ! ! !
2 oil fields in Kelantan owned by Dr M's children
- PKR's Saifuddin
PKR secretary general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said oil producing states would be able to operate their respective oil operation through state government-linked companies should Pakatan Rakyat come to power.
Saifuddin said this was different than the current practice.
“That is because the companies operating on oil fields are owned by UMNO leaders’ family. For example, two oil fields in Kelantan are owned by Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s children,” he said at a ceramah with PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu in Kota Bharu yesterday.
The new deal, according to Saifuddin, forms part of PR’s pledge if it wins the next general election.
In Kelantan, the Machang member of parliament said there were 23 oil fields yet to be explored.
“Every oil field is estimated to be worth RM3 billion. So to avoid those oil fields being controlled by UMNO leaders’ family, the government in Putrajaya must be changed,” he added.
In its alternative budget, PR pledged to increase royalty payment to 20 per cent for petroleum-producing states, from the present five percent.
UMNO Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin had spoken out against the idea, saying it would affect the government’s tax revenue and profits for national oil company Petronas.
Earlier this week, the Kelantan state government, locked in a legal battle over unpaid oil royalties, was allowed by the Federal Court to pose questions of law surrounding its suit against Petronas.

My Jogging Track |
|
I have shifted my jogging track from the stadium to the
Taman Rimba and the padi field behind my house. If
clouds provide shade at 5.00 pm I would choose the
Bendang track otherwise I would go to Taman Rimba where
big trees blocked the hot sunlight.
One hour a day is ample for me. It made me alert and
fresh.

It is a deadly
tragedy when the Malays go all out to cheat the
Malays for their own selfishness and greediness.
They volunteer themselves to be tools without
thought and visions. They have eyes they see
not. They have brain they think not. They are
being imprisoned by their own ignorance. They
are frogs under coconut shells.
They can't
recognize between treacherous leaders and the
sincere ones. They go forward to show that they
are heroes to protect the Malays unknowingly
they are protecting corruptions and cronyism and
the people who are destroying the future of
their generations.
The history of
modern Malays and Malaysia has been very short.
It has been the history of a slow deterioration,
slowly losing without realizing it.
Even before the
end point there is already a great desperation.
Mental and emotional instability erupted.
But the end will
come. When the Malays become like Palestinians,
it is not the others who are to be blamed.
From 1800 to 2012
there has been the story of losing spree. |

Budget 2013 and You |
Take Big Give Small |
Government
takes your money everyday. People who work on
their own with sweat and blood, may they be
businessmen or lorry drivers they pay much more
than what they get.
Poor and young
people who own a motorbike is paying more than
RM250 for the insurance. That may be once a
year.
You are paying
taxes the moment you buy food and commodities. A
few cent for each item paid will add up to a few
hundred ringgit in a month. Including the
utility bills, the Indah Water and all others
you end up in paying thousands of ringgit in a
year.
You pay big
and you get back a very small sum as compared to
the amount paid.
Ikan Kembong
cost RM17 per kilo, prawns starting at RM16 -
RM50 per kilo. Name it nothing is cheap. One
hour in a shopping complex will swallow the
RM250 of the election money given to you.
The money
given does not come from any minister's pocket.
It is from your own. The RM250 million of NFC
too comes from your pocket. Both get the figure
of 250 and 250 X 2. |

Grateful people hailed the budget 2013 and would thank
Najib for the gracious gifts. People all over are happy.
As always every good thing is always meet with
criticism. Good people have enemies. Bad people have
friends.
I am not going to talk on the good side of it because
everyone knows and appreciate it. So I choose to talk on
the opposite side.
Money can come from good and bad people. When a drug
warlord gives you the money it comes from a bad guy, an
evil man who had destroyed mankind and families. When
bad people donates there is something fishy hidden
behind it. The purpose is never good. When good people
donates they don't have anything expected from the
people. They seek happiness, satisfaction and
fulfillment.
I don't categorize Najib as good or bad. But it is
interesting to look at one or two areas and think about
it. This time it is focusing on the young voters who
work with private companies and on their own. Young
adults who work at KFC, Mac Donald and other fast food
restaurants and other odd job workers are significant
enough for the votes. Because of this there is a vote
incentive of RM250 and a cell-phone rebate.
Consensus may have shown that a big bulk of the
Malaysians come under poverty threshold. A vote
incentive for RM500 is seen to be enough for each.
The soc-called Budget For the Young People came into
focus after seeing the Bersih 3.0 turnout of a great
number of young people. These people could push out BN
government.
Clever indeed. BN has experts working for it.
Actually this is a battle of will between BN and the
young people. How far the imagination and reasons of the
young voters could see thru the clouds. And how do each
of them value himself. Are they cheap prostitutes who
can easily be bought with a few hundred bucks.
This is a real test, a great test for the young adults
and the poor people who have long been struggling to
survive and cutting corners all their lives. This is
also a test for the religious and pious Muslims and
non-Muslims whether to condone bribery and corruptions
or not; the choice between God and evil.
The rest of the budget analysis is left to you to tear.
How about me ? How do I see the budget 2013 is all about
?
My friend asked me to hand all of Najib's gift to him if
I think it is the money for corruption. And I told him
to pool his and mine and return to the government. He
laughed.
Then let us ask Najib onces again whether the money is
for voting. If he says NO then take the money and spend
them. It is of NO obligation for you to vote BN. If he says
YES then I may return the money back to the government.
Imagine if all return the money back to BN, there is a
sure sign of the end of Najib. His advisors and
consultants said NO. Nobody will return the money,
stopped by their greed.

THE JOY OF TRAVELING |
|
All
is seem just like yesterday; the scenery, the people and
pleasure. It never fade as days draw by. The pleasure
lies in the blood. That's what traveling gave me. We buy
a radio and a TV, big cars and expensive cameras and we
see them. We spend our money to be in foreign lands we
do not see them. Yet they are there near our heart.
I
just don't remember names and places, and people I was
with. Their images are always sharp and clear.
Do
I get bored visiting the same place repeatedly time and
again ? But it was not as much as we are in the same
place year in and year out, eating the same food
everyday for the whole of our lives. And we are seeing
our spouse till death we depart.
I
still take my sick wife around though we cannot go to
distant places anymore. She does not want to lie in bed
the whole day when she does not go for her dialysis. She
even has a desire to go overseas. I know one day she
will get tired of going to dialysis and appeal that I
take her to some distant place. That will be the hardest
time for me to make a decision because life will be
short after quitting the treatment.
From time to time I talked to her about Indiana and
Florida, about London and Australia. She became alive
and responded with pleasure. When visitors came and talk
about traveling she would narrate the story just like it
was just yesterday.
When we were in Bloomington Indiana we would make a trip
to the Eastern states. It was my wife who went to rent a
car from one JACK who did not take any collateral and
would give us a medium size car instead of the small car
we booked for the price of the small car. She would
drive from point to point.
When we can't get into a hotel or find a campsite area
we would sleep in the car at the Rest Area. Camp grounds
were of our interest. We have Asians and Jews as our
neighboring campsite. My wife would start cooking after
we set up the tent. The lot is ample for a tent and a
car. There was a table and electrical supply. The toilet
and the bathroom is at a walking distant. We can rent a
fishing rod if we want to go fishing. Camp grounds were
usually deep in the woods but the price was cheap.
The
best accommodations were the motels. 90% of the motels
we stayed might be belong by the Indians or Pakistanis.
We would checked in at night after a long drive. We
never stayed in motels over USD40.
We
went to Florida a couple of time, New York, and all the
Eastern and the Mid Western states.
My
wife never went to Las Vegas. She was only in Los
Angeles with my three kids on the way to join me in the
States. She went to Europe with my kids without me.
Another time she went to London was with me.
Now
that she is hardly move about without help her days of
traveling is over. And I had asked her for a permission
to make my last trip to USA next year to Bloomington and
Dayton Hamvention. I first have to negotiate with my
kids on her transportation to the Medical Center for her
treatments. Right now I am searching for the cheapest
air ticket.
If
somehow I could make for another travel then the money
will go for a new rig which cost about the same price of
the traveling expenditure. The rig will never be the
same as the joy of seeing places, enjoying the favorite
American food like Long John and Red Lobster. Ironically
enough when I was in Hawaii I fed on Pineapple drinks
and potato chips all the way long.

How to stop Nuclear Iran |
|
Israel is worrying about it's
national security and it made the whole world crazy and
mad. While no Israelis is losing their homes thousands
of the Americans are losing theirs and their jobs too.
Instead of feeding it's own citizen America is feeding
Israelis.
How to protect Israel from any
attack ?
Let USA go inside Iran with
friendly gestures negotiating the assistant and control
of the nuclear sites for whatever reasons they are for.
USA open up more business with the Iranian government
including the arms sale and a defense contract.
Thereby jobs can be created in
USA. There will be no lose of life. And Israel will be
safe and secured.
Together with the demonizing of
Islam and Jesus there have been exposures of the Talmud
portraying the stand of the Jews, rightly or wrongly.
How would the American Jews Defense League manipulate
explanations about the Talmud ? It clearly declares that
the Goyim or Gentiles are to serve the Jews, including
waging for for Israel.
President Carter is not happy with
Israel. Now Obama. Netanyahu is now soliciting Mitt
Romney to attack Iran. It is not because they are not
concern with Israel security, but to put in the blunt
form Israel is too much. American intellects are
beginning to see what Jewish is.
With the conquest of Iraq the
Americans are still paying a high price for gasoline and
economically are getting worst. What benefit does the
Americans get other than mental agony and emotional
sufferings from the lost of their children in the war,
losing homes and jobs, and later to know that the 9/11
was an inside job.
USA can always try this approach
in Iran instead of declaring war on Iran.
Even right now Apple is making
millions in Iran. It could sell more cars and the car
industries in USA will become alive again. Selling
education and tourism will multiply the National Income.
This is a good opportunity. I am sure Iran would be glad
to allow it's nuclear facilities been administered by
the Americans. Hence Israel is surely safe.

DID I SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT PEOPLE ? |
|
Yes. You read my articles. I did say
things about people. Of course I may be wrong and the
persons concern can take me to court. And you don't have
to believe what I am saying.If someone tells you that I
say something about you, you better ask for my
clarification. If I really said something I won't deny
it. A certain remark that I might have passed may have
volumes of additional stuffs that has to come from the
one who is carrying tales.
Someone told me that if Mr A is
brought together with me there will be a fight. How on
earth he came to that conclusion ? With how many persons
that I have fought before ? What more if it is something
to do with amateur radio. If I don't like something I
just don't make myself present or go near it.
A teacher is a teacher, never take a
student as his enemy. He scolds his student, pull the
ears or even cane him but he always love him. I might
passed a remark on a ham that talk to a pirate or on the
inferiority of the antenna but it does not mean I don't
like them or angry at them. The champion has never have
an easy time. No coach smiled at the mistakes of their
trainees.
Somehow by some training and
education and probably the upbringing I am molded to
have high expectations on people. I know it is difficult
to achieve excellence, the problems that hinders
successes. What can the Malays show the world something
that others can't ? Can't we go for a Nobel Prize ?
Malaysians must strive for
excellence. You don't tell the world that you are good
in everything and the most capable person on earth. The
best you can do is trying to be perfect and try to be
the best. You must be strong and stand alone and don't
be cowed by anybody.
How could I keep quiet when our money
is wrongly used , or hearing people telling lies. How
could I keep quiet when we do not plan the full effort
to raise ourselves from ignorance and poverty by
ourselves ?
If you are rude I will have to say
you are. We can't afford to have bad breed around. Added
up all together it can destroy a race and a nation. We
don't need people who always throw the blame on others
instead of enhancing themselves and help the others of
their kinds to be as competitive as all others.
Do I say something about people ?
YES. Words like lazy, rude and immoral are frequently
used. I called people robbers and blood suckers because
they rob us, may be legalized by an act or atrocity. And
they will die without the chance of repenting.
I will always stand by my views,
whether political or on other matters. You don't have to
agree or like me.
In HAM radio I always want a standard
and ethical amateurs so that this hobby will not be
splashed as a hobby full of rogue people.

How not to
salute and respect those fellow hams who
excel and beat me in the skill of CW and
wide knowledge in amateur radio. All those
new 9M2s surprised me in their ability to
work CW at the speed of more than 15 wpm. I
took one solid year to master the 12 wpm.
I am entitled
to my view. It is my own prerogative to
respect, salute and give a thumb up to
whoever I feel like to. I do not steal
anybody's money to give credit to the
deserve ones.
Ability,
endurance and perseverance that belong to
these people belong to them. No matter how
much slur were thrown on them because of
their special strong characters they will
not be drowned. Diamonds that fell in the
mud will never lose it's luster.
This does not
mean the rest are useless and not worthy of
respect. They will be respected in their
other areas of expertise. |
|
A
job must come first |
How can we think what others are thinking ?
Basically
there are two orders of thinking; the lower
and the higher order. The higher order
thinking enables to read what the lower
order thinking is but not the vice versa.
The higher
order thinking comes from intellectuality
and deep understanding of the world. It has
a strong rationality in deducting to the
conclusion.
The lower
order with the low intellectuality tends to
come to a quick conclusion as what is in
their minds. They insist what in their minds
are what the others think.
If you
argue with the people of lower ordered
thinking you will be wasting your time and
breath. It is better to talk to woods or to
your cats. Somehow you will believe the cats
will get your messages.
By
coincidence today I went to Penang to feed
the monkeys and saw how smart they were. |
|
I told
a ham friend that amateur radio is a mere hobby. What is
utmost important is our daily bread and butter. With
this world view he starts his day with executing the
work plan he made the previous days. Each day is a day
of hard work and he earns well. At the free time he
would come on the air to say hello and has a chat with
his friends.
Many
new hams are giving prior attention to their jobs. The
self employed have to strive more than those working
with the government or the companies. Private agencies
are more taxing. Hamming comes when they are on the way
or back from work. Chatting takes away stress when the traffic is heavy and jam everywhere.
A
handful may find ham radio is nothing great after all.
They get more pleasure in computer or an iPad.
They can communicate with visual contact. With the
Wifi on visual chatting can be done while on mobile or
in a foreign country.
What
made hamming a lasting hobby is the spirit. Yet it can
be snatched away by something else of better attraction.
A ham can jump into a CB and other non-hamming radio
communication. It is the spirit that takes a ham to
attend the distant hamvention even though he does not
buy anything, the spending of money to be together with
the CW candidates and share the happiness with them.
But
the disruption and the breaking of bonding can come when
we have sharp needles poking and back stabbing among
fellow hams. They don't use radio but the hand phones to
push their agendas, daily meetings to throw slurs and
inventing tales. The splits lead to the moral downfall
of amateur radio..
It is
good for hams to have experience in contests and gather
certificates and QSL cards as much as they can. There
shouldn't be a question how long will they last. I never
ask such a question if I see active hams who organize
themselves to go into contest or who invest a big sum of
money on antenna and radios. After all they have
struggle hard to pass CW.
Each
of them has his own taste. Whether he comes on the band
or not, talking to me or not, is his own choice. It is
none of my business to spread bad things about them.
They do not ruin anything nor causing the society to
die. At the appropriate time they will make themselves
heard, and even talk to the person of not to our liking.
A
worker who devote his time and energy to his work is a
commendable person. His effort brings a direct benefit
to the nation and the people. At a leisure time he may
be a SWL. At a real free time he may come on the band to
say hello to his good friends.
A job
must always come first.

THE
ATTIRE OF ISRAEL SOLDIERS |
|
Israel
doesn't use complicate procedures to save the people and
the army in case of wars. They dig bunkers and keep the
gas mask. And the army is wearing the bullet proof vest
and the head gear that covers the most part of the head.
Random shooting will not kill an Israel army. You have
to be a very sharp shooter to aim at the face. 97% of an
enemy fire that hit an Israel army will not kill any of
them. And 98% of rocket attack will not kill the people
in bunkers.
The
enemies have to use a more complicated means to kill the
Israelis like the bombs that dig into bunkers as what
the US army used in Iraq and the bullets that tear
through metals. Both are not owned by either Syria or
Iran. And of course in every inch of the land along the
border there are numerous mines. No enemy can pass into
Israel or even the buffer area.
During
the last war with Egypt Israel's army could easily
passed the Egyptian army because they change their
outfits, passing the Egyptians waving at the enemy. The
war was treated just like a simple game.
Natenyahu was very confident that the coming war will be
very short. The attack was delayed for further espionage
and underground operation to spy on other possibilities
and new weapons the Russians might supply to Iran and
Syria, and to make sure there can never be any ground
penetration into Israel by Hezbollah.
The
usage of HAARP by USA on Iran was seen as a test
recently. If Iran arrange identical system to shake
Israel with quakes the war would be very fatal. The
third world war will really be a devastating one.
I
never believe Iran will attack or wipe out Israel even
at it's strongest state. Liberal Muslims have no time to
think of making war with people. They are more
interested in the modern life full of fun and
entertainment than to suffer in war. The Jews in Iran or
in any other Muslim countries are not persecuted today.
Israel
has the money to have the most superior military attire
as it was heavily financed by the United States. War is
a big business to many companies. It also check the
world's population. Netanyahu predicted only 500 Israel
soldiers will die in the coming war but thousands or
millions of the Iranians.
Of
course there is always the better way for everybody.
Israel must choose a new leader who is more humane, a
non-war monger to give a place for the Palestinians to
live side by side with them, to develop the economy and
create wealth for everyone living in the land for all.

A
country with close economy may not enjoy the
highest standard of living but will not face
the global financial crisis. Attaching to
the world finance and banking, international
trade would facilitate economic growth and
enhance the living standard. But once a
financial crisis happens in the leading
country like the United States life will
start to shake.
Imagine
if the World Bank and all the Central banks
are under private individuals and the world
and the governments are borrowing from them,
how vulnerable it is to the citizens as a
whole. A private individual can control our
whole livelihood by a certain action.
Lowering the interest rate alone would give
a strong effect on the economy. Easy
borrowing and the rush for the borrowed
money could push up inflation.
Countries like North Korea will not be hit
by what is happening in USA and Europe,
where the culprits are trying to use
psychology to offset the economic problems. |

POOR
STRATEGY 1 MALAYSIA PAD
Many
Malaysians associate 1 Malaysia with our Prime
Minister Najib and it is a symbol of UMNO and
atrocity. Therefore it would be difficult
for a general public to depart with their money
to buy UMNO. After all they have the Apple iPad
to buy and it is not an UMNO pad.
We all know
what come to be. The government will buy the
product and distribute to the school children.
Of all the
name why should they chose 1Malaysia Pad ?
|
Try to avoid politician's face
in a product. If we are a Communist country the
situation is different. You can put a product
name as Kim Jun Un or Mao Tze Tung. Or even
PERKASA Ibrahim Ali cofee for manhood. |
|
We are
easily succumb to advertisements. It is not that we are
stupid but we want to keep phase with technology and
development. And companies have new ways to force us to
buy the latest, either by not having the replacement
when damaged or they have a new system and soft wares
that are not accommodated by the old hard ware. The
discontinued product will not be supported anymore.
Old
laws demand a long term components or spare parts before
the companies were allowed to enter a market. There
should be a regulatory body to ensure the customers were
not victimized. But governments tend to side the
corporation and work things out to their favor. This is
where immorality of the governments came in.
The
transition of the iPhone was too short in time. Normal
person would not be able to buy at every upgrade
version. And the iPad too. Then they have the tablets.
Similarly with other items of luxuries.
But
affordable people will follow and keep phase with the
developments. They will enjoy the technologies.
I
thought my 32 meg iPhone 4 is already the end. Slowly I
find the soft wares are not compatible with the OS.
There are many books and magazines that need the latest
OS. Surely there an attempt tp phase out the old iPhone,
forcing me to buy the new one. If not one has to go for
the philosophy of BUY, BEG, BORROW or STEAL. That
explains why my Garmin GPS was stolen.
Though
I believe I have a strong mind, the advertisers were
successful in shaking my mind. I admit I have to
surrender to the persuasion. There is a desire to own
iPhone 5. If the price is RM400 I would have bought one.
The people in the United States enjoys the cheap upgrade
whereas we in Malaysia have to pay a fortune. Luckily I
do not have interest in an iPad or 1 Malaysia Pad or a
Tablet.
When
the new Proton Preve came into the market, I wasn't at
east. Altogether I went to the outlet about 10 times,
looked at the engine, the bonnet, sat on the driver's
seat. And came home to compute the money. The strongest
bar was the maintenance cost. That stopped me totally.
Automobile industries always made changes. Produa ceased
producing Kancil, Kelisa and a few others. And the lower
end car like VIVA is changed for the higher price.
The
worst of the car is when the government tax the poor
more than the rich by allowing insurance companies to
suck the blood of the cheap car owners. Cheap cars are
small and sub-standard, poorer engine and low performance.
It is suitable for the poor people.
Somehow for the start we have to train ourselves to be
critical, not to easily believe in what people say, and
keep in mind of conning by showing sympathy, don't trust
any people, news or media. Just ignore the
advertisements. Then we prioritize our expenditure from
fulfilling the basic needs of food and paying utility
bills, savings for the rainy days and sickness,
schooling of our children.
We have to think of the
importance of the new gadgets and any other hard wares.
Without them how badly they affect our lives.
To people like me I would
appeal not to be bullied by advertisements.

The Unknown |
|
There are many things that man will
never understand how hard he tries to. He is bounded by
the logical mind and the senses. He can perceive only
things by what is endowed on him.
But man is also selfish and can be
very arrogant. His personal achievement could make him
feel he is above everyone else. People
tries to see the current Palestinian problem, the
potential war between Iran and Israel and the possible
World War 3 in the eyes of religion and it's prophesies.
As such they predict the happenings and the outcome, the
second coming of Jesus and later the end of the World.
The Atheists and the Jews do not believe that way. There
is no way will there be the destruction of Israel and
the final war of Gog and Magog. If Israel is strong it
will prevail and eventually rule the world, may be
forever. This implies the Bible is incorrect and
Christianity is false. It fits with the Atheist view
that Christianity is actually a Pagan that was brought
down from generation to generation.
There are questions on God, on human sufferings and wars
and famine. Aren't they because they are non Jews ? The
God of the Jews is the right God ? If
the God of the Jews protect every Jews life, Hitler
would have not killed thousands of them and Hezbollah
would have not repel them in the previous engagement.
The killings, the turmoil, the earthquake, the typhoons
and the hunger and poverty made many ask about God and
religion. Why God lets it happen ? I
was told during my younger days that I should accept
what takes place and whatever that comes. We can't
comprehend God by reason and our mind, except what is
given in the Holly Book. God asks us to think about the
Day and the Night and Male and Female. It is the hint
for us to explore the universe and the existing of
mankind. Dying and been killed is not
the end. It is my faith that says so. You and your
belief and you and your communication with God. What do
you say in your daily prayer ? Asking for more money,
for a beautiful wife and to be the most powerful man ?
Ever asking for those who suffer and killed be placed
among the good men in heaven ? Try not
to think about unseen things, the millions of other
unknown. Our mind will not be there.

everybody is bad except the one who carry
tales.
There were
things told that made sense and there were
nonsense and pure stupidity. That's the kind
of hams we have today, |

JUDGING A PERSON |
1001
excuses
Are you
fond of giving excuses ?
I
rarely meet a person who like to give excuses. Rather
they would tell the truth when they could not fulfill a
certain promise or fail to accommodate someone.
We have
to identify the line between excuses and telling the
truth.
Excuses
sometime is similar to justifications of wrong things
done. They will come up with all sort of explanations of
justify the stupid things they do.
I do
not believe in excuses. You can always see other
deficiencies in the person and how hard he will
try to convince people.
Universally, lazy people are full of excuses. They want
things the easy way. When they are in power they will
cause hell. |
I
strongly believe in a saying 'To know a person hear what
he says about others." During my working days there are
teachers who would come to see me and reported about
other stuffs including the story of the parents. I just
heard the story until they finished. I didn't ask the
reason for their coming to tell me those things. What
they didn't know was I found people who carry tales were
entertaining.
It
was not a report of a staff gambling in the school
compound or trying to cheat a school but on the personal
matters that had nothing to do with the schools and the
students.
Neither did I tell the teacher of whom he was narrating
as bad. Believe me or not months later a female student
came to report about that clown saying he was a sex
maniac. Could it be that bad ? On further investigation
it was confirmed by the department that it was the same
problem that happened in other school.
One
other teacher was not as bad as this one. Later I heard
there were conflicts between her and the rest of the
staffs.
People who like to carry tales are sick, suffering from
a kind of inferiority complex due to the low education
or something lacking at home. By spreading news they
would compensate their own deficiencies. They expect
they would be elevated and respected. They are pushing
themselves up telling people of their abilities when in
fact they are lacking in many ways and in many things.
I
don't fall to sweet or seditious talks. I would know
people real behavior and their ability inside out after
a few years with them and observing their work. Hard
working and illustrious teachers always produce result.
One new teacher complained about the incorrect system of
the teaching of sciences. He refused to attend the
monthly science meeting. I told him right or wrong I
have to side the science team because they produce
results and the students are happy with their teachings.
I
believe nobody can be fooled all the time. Eventually
smart people will come to know the character of bad
people.
A
person character belongs to himself. But a low educated
people can destroy big things. He could steal and
destroy important information belonging to an agency,
reporting fallacy using poison pen and criminally
sabotaging the agency he works in. I have seen one who
had caused a devastating destruction to one institution
and I ceased to see him again.
A
sick person will blame all others all the time but not
himself.

My walk |
|
|
Evening weather has
been fine for me in the past few days. After sending my
wife home from her dialysis or after the evening prayer
I set out for 40 to 60 minutes of strolling. The last
two days I took the bendang way. Going thru the padi
field is always windy. The only drawback was the path is
narrow and there are cars using it.
It is almost a
month since I resumed my exercise. I did not use the
proper jogging footwear which I need to get new ones. I
use the croc type rubber shoe because it is light. The
sole is easily worn out.
Altogether I have
three places to choose; the stadium side, the race
course and the rice field areas. When there is no cloud
and the heat was burning I would go to the stadium site.
There are many trees and the shade helped a lot. The
race course area is the place where people gather for
exercise and aerobic dancing. Women dress fancifully and
my eyes could turn away from their shaky butts. It gave
me a lot of sins.
If it rain I stay
home. It could make me sick for a couple of weeks.
Small stones would
enter my shoes from time to time. Since I was barefoot
they bite me and I had to stop from time to time to
clear them off. I know I need to buy jogging shoes which
are expensive. I am really broke for excessive
expenditure for the last two months mainly on my medical
stuffs for my wife. Without notice the medical center
would ask me to buy medicines for RM300 RM600.
The rest of the
people are wearing proper jogging dress, nice shoes and
socks. The ladies put on the head and wrist bands. I
wore a Bermuda pant and sockless in my croc shoes.
I feel the
improvement. The blood sugar level is almost normal. I
feel very fit and YOUNG. But no adults called me
brother. Everyone called me UNCLE. My student's kids
called me TEACHER. The whole family address me as
'teacher'. This particular student remember me because I
canned her for failing my subject.
Weather, rain or
shine, is always good. Hawkers selling ice water and
coconut could make more than RM500 on a hot day. Padi
field owners are happy to have rain. My cats prefer
rain to tap water. That's what I called
perfection. Nature does create perfection and opposites;
day and night, man and woman, hot and cold. Today I went
out while the sun was setting down. The heat was not
burning.
Exercise or not,
when time comes we will go like the rest. So the walk
and jog is not to defy death. It makes us feel good. It
wrapped the whole day with good feeling and fresh. It
reduces stress too. I did not listen to music. Neither
did I let my imagination flew. To keep phase I counted
the steps, like zero zero one...zero zero two...instead
of one...two...I always lost count after some time, and
would re-start with any other numbers until I ended my
walk.
Don't be surprise
if you hear the news of my death. Young people die. I
think Mahathir and Ibrahim Ali won't die so soon. The
older they are the stronger they become, the louder
their voices. Between the two Ibrahim will go first. He
needs the keris to prolong his life.

WHAT IS DEMOCRACY ?
Aaron Russo speak the truth before
his death. He was believed to be murdered by CIA or
Mossad. In USA today talking against Israel or
government will be met with death or death threat.
Socialism - Rob the Reach and give to
the poor ? Democracy - Rob the poor and
give to the rich ? Democracy is the
freedom of oppression of the 51% majority on 49% or the
freedom of oppression of the majority over the minority.
It is forcing the majority's will on the rest. It does
not represent the righteousness. Neither does it
represents wrongness. It has a lot of flaws.

Another of Hisham's Blunder |
I will try
to define SEcurity Threat to Hisham, direct
and clear to be called treason.
1. Buying
a second hand military hardware that cannot
function well is not only a security threat
but also a high treason. Superior artillery
from our enemy will crush our hardware in no
time.
2. Using
computers and computer software by police or
military pose a direct danger because our
security information flow to the enemy side
will be very enormous.
3. To
expose our defense weakness to the enemy in
the case of the missing jet engine is making
our enemy laughing at our defense weakness.
4. The
selling of our secrets to foreign government
is a direct treason and punishable by firing
squad.
5.
Employing the enemy as any form of advisor
and giving them home in the country opened
up to espionage activities.
6.
Borrowing money not for development but to
buy vote by direct or indirect mean can
drive us to economic turmoil and it pose a
security threat.
To expose
corruptions and to put away the corrupt
government is never a threat but it is
towards a betterment of a nation. |
|
MAHATHIR'S
MAY
BE
RIGHT |
A Minister or
Minister to be can't afford to depict
himself as too unlearned. Rather than making
his own statement to every issue it is wise
to have a spokesman. Statements by the
spokesman must first be discussed in the
most intellectual ways to make sure it would
hold water.
At time we
Ministers passed to Rais Yatim to make
statements. This is better than making the
announcements themselves because Rais is
more smart and intelligent than many others.
He has a First Class Law degree.
The only
thing is that there are more people who are
more genius than Rais. Some are in politics
and some are not.
Stupid
statements portray our low mentality and we
are susceptible to being cheated by greedy
businessmen and easily fall to their pray.
UMNO members fall under this category. And
our security is vulnerable.
A nation
cannot be strong if morons are allowed to
plan for war.
You may ask
'War with who ?'
With mouth
like Ibrahim Ali who like to provoke foreign
nation can invite imminent attack by the
nation he declares war witht.
Leaders must
not totally depend on their advisors and
leaders, especially a woman he sleeps with. |
|
When
Mahathir lies he really lies. But when he talks the
truth, the truth it is. Mahathir's last comment was
'BN will remain in power but with much reduced
majority'. Is this a lie or the truth. The UMNO
Ministers did not call it a lie. They only deny that
won't happen.
Does
denying it won't happen mean Mahathir is lying ? If
he is not lying then there is no such thing as
it
won't happen, because their ex-boss has been very sharp
when he does not lie.
How
does Mahathir compute the future ? He has a 50/50% view
that the Sabahans may not be bought with money as
a trade to their security and instability. In fact it
was Mahathir's own making that brought in the foreigners who
threaten the peace and tranquility of the indigenous
Sabahans. How much lies can BN throw into Sabah and how
much money the Sabahan can accept ? Mahathir sees a
considerable seats will be lost on this issue.
The
Mafia timber tycoon in Sarawak with all the dirty might
will still maintain Sarawak.
In
Peninsular he counts the number of Malays who distant
themselves from UMNO. Najib himself knows it. That's the
reason why he applied the philosophy of the power of
money. Billions were spent to woo the voters.
Mahathir's made prediction based on his observations and
his discussions with his friends. So far he was right
about 9/11 as an inside job and Jewish economic power.
This time he may be right again. Though future cannot be
known, the causal effect factors will land the
prediction into one of them. Crowds still dominate Ustaz
Idrus. Seas of yellow shirts packed the roads. Bus
attacks still draw thousands of people at PKR's
gathering.
On the
other hand the opposition firmly believe BN will pack
and go. They believe the people could not be bought with
money.
In the
yester years BN used to say 'People will vote us even if
we put a songkok there...' 2008 gave it a real shock.
Najib had to put the Baju Kurung and sarong and went
into villages wearing sleepers, eat with bare hands
together with the kampong folks and Mahyuddin rode a
pillion on a Hinda Cup. Now nobody putting an UMNO
songkok or Keris to win a vote. Instead they are
replaced with big bucks.
When
Mahathir predicts it shook UMNO and MCA, really shaken.
Even
winning by fraud does not guarantee permanency. It all
depends on how much of hooliganism and threatening take
place. When people are pushed they will shout for help.
In my previous writings I touched on the possibility of
arms retaliation if weapons are brought in. Already we
know foreign countries do not agree with our government.
Among the many continents which deplored our corrupt
practices couldn't it be one that will be tough with
BN's government ?
The
world is always observing us; what Shahrizat's says and
what her family does. They probably know more of Musa
Hassan and Ghani Patail than we Malaysians do. They see
and downloaded clips of our policemen kicking the Bersih's protestors. They sensed our dirty jobs, our
inefficiency and our weaknesses. They hear what
Hishamuddin, Ibrahim Ali and Rais Yatim comments. They
are assessing us.
Mahathir once commented that PR may use force to bring
the government down if the party is defeated. What was
in his head that made him pass the remark. Was he
thinking PR will run wild discovering the fraudulent
vote processing ? Or was he foreseeing covert foreign
involvement in arming the oppressed ? I remembered
Mahathir was talking about foreign conquest and invasion
and I dismissed the possibility in this age of reason
and benevolent. Years later we saw Iraq, Afghanistan and
Libya were invaded.
I
think using the security force and the police to defend
corruption is absurd. And trying to wash away the evil
practice by corrupting the people is the most immoral
thing a person can do. At the critical juncture BN
leaders continue to show their arrogance. They are
creating more hatred rather than sympathy.
So let
us wait and see what is going to happen.

It
is not who says it |
|
I notice
most of us rather see who says it but not what is said.
It implies that a person whom we adore is always talking
facts and disseminate nothing but the truth. I would not
go with the premise people who we dislike will always
lie and always wrong in his word.
We Asians
were born without the concept of liberty and freedom. We
made rules to be followed and rules are never liberty
and freedom. Rules were to protect our culture and for
social benefit. We have traditional practices of
marriages, setting roles for families, create bond with
communities.
When
Mahathir commented on Western mothers sleep with any
other men, I tend to agree with him. I have been
watching a lot of adult clips which prove Mahathir is
right. Public sex and gay marriages are the essence of
freedom and liberty. A wife has her own right and so is
the husband.
In spite
of such a freedom and liberty there are laws and rules,
patriot act, NDAA, Trespass bill that are curbing the
freedom. You cannot speak anything you want in USA. So
is China, Russia and everywhere else in the world. Some
how we are enslaved by rules and laws.
America
would stop another nation from building it's own defense
system. It is telling North Korea and Iran to close
atomic research stations, setting the no-fly zone on
foreign soil and arrest dissidents without trial.
Could I
reject Mahathir's words because I don't like him ? As I
have said it, "It is not who says it, but what is said."
We don't
teach our children to reject what are said by a mad man.
We teach them to listen some of the truth in his saying.
The legendary Arshad Gila always advise school children
to study hard, get good jobs and take care of the
parents. And one prostitute who attended a PTA meeting
stood up after haring someone commented on her, saying.
"Yes you say I am a prostitute. Do you want my kids to
be like me ? I send her to school to make sure she will
be like your children too..."
That's
why the sage says to be wise one must be patient to
listen, and listen well.
I would
like to advise the politicians and high profile
individuals to think before they talk. But as Ibrahim
Ali let him talk whatever he wants. I am yet waiting for
some sensible sayings from him.
But be
careful. Don't be CRY WOLF. Constant lies will make
people stay away from TV sets and newspapers. When you
decide to tell the truth even once nobody is listening
to you anymore.

Answering SMS and Calls |
|
I do not
always carry my cell-phone with me when I go out. If
anyone were to call or message me he will be frustrated
for not receiving response. And he should not expect me
to reply even hours after that.
My credit
has never exceed RM30 and that's the amount used each
month. When the credit depleted I just have to
disappoint the caller. And every time I call or SMS
someone I do not expect the answer. He may be having
similar problem.
I would not
spend more than the monthly 30 ringgit. My office
workers would spend the average of RM250 per month. This
is a lot of money.
I too have a
bitter experience before. A person
whom I always send SMS did not reply to my call lately.
I kept on asking the health condition and other things.
Still no answer. I did not not want to feel frustrated
by it. I
can't force someone to attend me. May be she has other
important thing to do.
Likewise, I know
sometime the caller get angry with me after failing to
reply 7 to 8 of the call. I could not reply because of
the depleted credit. I had to explain when I met the
person. But when a person close to me did not reply to
my several calls I got really angry
demanded for explanation. And there were always reasons,
lies or not.
I think it
is not wise to call everyone who does not reply to our
SMS or call as imbecile or rude. We can express our
unhappiness if they are our subordinates, family members
or close friends.
Even if the
phone is with me and I heard a ringing tone once or
twice, I would not call back. Imagine if someone in
Kuala Lumpur wants you to call him back for a chat. You
will be paying the hell of bill for him. I had such
experience once when someone rang me up and he asked me
to call him back. He put down the phone.
Phone is
money. Talking is money.
Most of us
do not attend to every person because we have many other
important persons and things to attend to. Why should we
attend to someone who has no interest to us, who do not
bring any benefit and who could not influence our lives
? We claimed that it is our right to choose our own
actions. And we can't force people to like nor hate us.
If we are
ignored then we have to look at ourselves; where is our
lacking, our way of thinking , our attitudes or even our
social status. People may not see us the way we see
ourselves. If we are not happy we can always reciprocate
similar action. Just ignore their SMSes and
calls.

POLICE |
|
I
think I can recognize a police woman when I see one. The
hair cuts are the same, of a special style. I met the
plain cloth personnel in several places, jogging
together with the civilians at exercise venue and other
public places. I also saw guys who I suspect as prowlers
on the motorbike ready to strike their victims.
If
I can identify a police I am sure the criminals too
could recognize them. At least it is a good start on the
part of the police to patrol on foot like this. But more
care has to be taken of to ensure the criminals do not
recognize them. If wigs are unsuitable for jogging, a
head dress would be better.
Mere patrolling is not enough. The police must also eyes
on the public to see suspected snatchers.
Criminals and law breakers are also smart. They may be
using communication equipments to send messages to their
gangs the locations of the police or the police cars on
patrol. Criminals seem to know and recognize the
law.
There is a different the police and a SB. Some how
people were talking about illegal trade or business that
involved a bat hat of the law. Bad police personnel
could paint a bad image of the police. The force can't
afford to have even one of such kind. There should be a
police to police the police, to make sure people will
have full confidence.
The
dark side of the police is when they are being made use
by the politicians to protect their wrongdoings. In such
a situation a duty must be carried as stated in the law,
no further than that. The excessive use of force on a
helpless protestor where 5 or 6 policemen were kicking
unendingly would make the people hate the police, keep
the record of their faces and will seek revenge when the
time ripe.
We
all remember in the yester years when a kid answer why
he wanted to be a policeman. "I want to arrest a bad
man." What is a bad man ?
This is what the police must recognize, identify and
know. Could a man who make bad law is a bad man ?
What is a bad law then ? Do you see any bad law around ?
I
only ask question. You find out the answer.
What if the policemen hands are tied ?

How Many Transceivers Must You Have ? |
If you are
not a license ham and you collect 10 to 20
transceivers what are you going to do with
them ? And if you are a 9W and owned 20 to
30 transceivers what will you do ?
I can't
answer for you. Certainly your behavior will
be a bit different from the others.
A full pledge
hams with money may have a passion of
keeping rigs. To fulfill his dream he strive
for his CW test, after which he feels secure
and emotionally stable.
For normal
average hams who have to cut corners for a
living should try to have two sets of
transceivers.
As time lapse
and the accumulated saving permits for
another purchase, he can increase the
collection.
Basically two
HFs, one for daily use and another for a
backup, and one VHF is ample.
Modern solid
states is difficult to repair. The life span
is shorter than the old valves rigs which
can easily repaired. |
|
My
New FT 7900R |
Why Regret ? |
What is the point
of expressing regret when big errors were made.
Stupid people will say 'We can't see the bad
future. Don't blame us." But it had been pointed
out before of the possible consequences.
Because we
can't see the future, we have to compute all the
possibilities of the future. Taken a risk to
implement something will open to the tendency to
regret.
Someone just
told me that the new hams are rude. I said
nothing at his sweeping statement because I see
him as a part of the problem itself.
When a senior
ham said that any Dick, Tom and Harry has the
right to be a ham I found it very
disturbing. He was not seeing all and was not
seeing what's coming.
Now PERKASA
has come on VHF, security guards and other
unknown stations were heard. On one frequency I
heard someone was craving for a drug.
Some may not
use the radio to commit crime but they teach the
other criminals about the use of the stuffs to
run criminal activities.
It is too late
to regret. |

I just bought a
dual band radio Yaesu FT 7900R from Wave Communications
Kuala Lumpur and am now enjoying SWLing.
I didn't press
for a bargain for several reasons. I computed the
monthly overhead cost of the shop and the number of
radios it could sell. To my calculation the shop owner
has to struggle. A little profit could help himself and
the workers.
Secondly with
the opening of the radio shop in Malaysia I don't have
to rush to Singapore, Indonesia or Thailand to buy a
radio. It made life easy for me. While I am helping the
local vendor, he too is doing some service for me.
I first started
with Yaesu because at that time many Malaysian hams were
using the brand. Yaesu was known for a good support.
Reading on several reviews I come to have fear on ICOM.
Those with ICOM may have experience hard time especially
on the discontinued transceivers.
FT 7900 has
features the others have. But I didn't make use all of
them. I just want to know how to set tone, repeater
shift, step and saving and recalling from memory.
I enjoy
listening to non-ham stations on UHF. I minimized
listening on VHF. VHF made me headache. There are
several alien call signs. And on ham band itself you
hear people talking without mentioning call signs from
the beginning to the end.
My IC-706 MK2 G
bought from 9M2DA about 10 years ago is in Singapore for
repair. The spare parts are not available yet. And for
my backup set it will not be an ICOM anymore. I am
eyeing for YAESU and KENWOOD, all band and all mode
radio.

Dayton is
a town or a city in the state of Ohio. It is
not the capital. The capital of Ohio is
Columbus.
Dayton's
hamfest is not held in the city center but
at the outskirt of the town. There isn't
much traffic around there, just like our
kampong; peaceful and serene.
The place
where the festival is held is called
O' Hara convention center. |
Traveling in
a group, not by tour agency, must consist of
people of the same wave length or else
traveling would be hell. And there is always
a give and take.
You don't
just go to Dayton for the hamvention and
immediately fly back after it is all over.
Make your money worth by visiting places as
much as possible. |
|
DAYTON HAMVENTION
2013 - MAY 17 - 19 |
Hamvention center at Dayton - click to
enlarge.
People just
ignore a brown skin person loitering around a
hamfest site. But the moment you hold a CW key
and send 50 wpm with someone on the other with
the same speed, eyes will be focus on you. What
more if you are wearing a T-Shirt with 9M call
sign and a Malaysian flag.
That is one pride
that I carry with me. Immediately you would feel
you are being respected when you got a thumb up
of crowds are clapping their hands.
If my skin
were white and I am an American probably the
people takes things for granted. |

Already I am making
inquiry about the total flight cost from Kuala Lumpur to
Chicago by Etihad Air. The best date of departure would
be either 14 or 15 th May. I plan to stay in a motel a
distant away to beat the high cost. It would be almost
near to the state of Indiana, where I am planning to
make a quick visit.
I cannot go alone
because I don't have a credit card. It is vital to book
a car from Malaysia via the internet. The maximum
expenditure is expected to be around 8K Malaysian
inclusive of the air ticket, food and lodging for about
14 days. Extra expenditure at the hamvention is not
included. I only plan to buy books, which are extremely
costly but the contents and illustrations are very
xcellent.
Hamvention takes 3
days. Other places to be visited are Corning factory,
ARRL, American Fall and probably Washington. Or
traveling around Chicago, St Louis and the country sides
around the states visited.
Actually the main
attractions are Disney World, Miami Beach, Cape Kennedy.
But those take up stamina and endurance. It takes 2
nights just to reach Orlando from Dayton. Orlando itself
would require 3 days minimum. With strong minds and
strong guts it can be met.
In the Northern
states the lodging is more expensive than the Southern
areas. There is always an alternative namely camp sites
which are usually a little outside the city, many in the
woods. There is a provision for cooking as well. I think
tents are cheaper here than in USA.
Traveling in four
would be very economical.
From now on till
next year anything can happen. But I need to keep on
dreaming about it.

THE GOOD AND
BAD OF AMERICA |
|
|
America is a huge
country. Not everyone knows what is happening all around
the nation and all around the world. World news and
events are controlled items on TV, with news what the
government want people to know.
One bad thing in
America is the 'homeless'. The homeless sleep on the
pathway and roadsides, not one, not 10. In the downtown
Los Angeles you find them still sleeping even at 10 am.
You go to the Greyhound station you will find the place
has a pungent smell of urine. I saw the homeless in Los
Angeles and New York city and they are every where.
You can't walk alone
at night and early morning. You may be mugged. And you
have to avoid any lonely place especially the downtown
area. In Black areas drug peddling was almost in the
open. The streets will be alive at night with black
youths filling the street and full of policemen and
women on patrolled.
We have been to two
Parks, thinking to enjoy our meal but could not find
even an area without broken glasses. It had to be drunk
people throwing bottles into the Parks.
Poverty is raising.
States like Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, West
Virginia, Louisiana, Montana, South Carolina, Kentucky,
Alabama and North Carolina among the poorest states.
People are losing jobs. The government says it is a
temporary phenomena. But from 1980's to 2012 is too
long. Within this two years people are losing their
houses. Teachers are losing jobs. And many are migrating
to Canada.
In term of medicare
Malaysia is 100 times better because it is extremely
cheap for the sick people, except for the medical
center. In the United States there have attempt to scrap
any form of free medical care. Doctors don't sell
medicine. You pay for a consultation fee and you have to
go to pharmacy to buy medicines.
While in Malaysia we
have the ISA, in the United States they have the
Patriotic Act, NDAA, the Trespass Act where people
who are suspect terrorist would be detained indefinitely
without trial. You can't show your support on
Palestinians and question the 9/11 without the risk of
being arrested at 3 am in the morning.
The Trespass Act is an
attempt to unlawed protest assemblies.
And now America is
keeping alert on domestic terrorists. Domestic
terrorists are not the Muslim Americans only but also
the White who oppose United States policy on wars
against Iraq and Iran and those who said the 9/11 was an
Inside Job.
To keep people's mind
away from the raising economic turmoil the government is
turning people's attention towards Iran by saying the
Islamic Republic wants to bomb and kill the Americans on
American itself. And they promote free sexual events to
keep the minds of the Americans away from the economic
blunder.
Many shops belonging
to the Whites are taken over by the Chinese and
Pakistanis.
Not all Americans are
open minded. A Democrat in Republican area may not find
a job. You have to show you are of the same feather.
Muslim women wearing Hijab are sneered at and Americans
converted to Islam would be under constant attacked and
humiliated. You may be arrested for having a PLO flag in
your home. And many lose their jobs because they
expressed unhappiness over Wall Streets or American
Banks.
The good point of
America is the public and the intellects are fighting
for the truth and the right of the oppressed including
the Palestinians. From my point of view the Whites
fought more than the Muslims on what Israel and America
is doing to the unlucky Palestinians and even proving
that the Muslims were not the cause of 9/11 attack.
I found the normal
American Jews were as considerate as any other people in
the world. They treat the Muslim students like anybody
else, told us where to find the Kosher meat, invited to
their houses and didn't
show any hostility towards the Muslims.
The disable folks have
their places in this country. They have special seats on
busses and entertainment centers like Disneyland and
others. The law of special need people was passed during
John F Kennedy era and is still ongoing till today.
Office workers
are commendable. They took pain to
accommodate you even at their lunch time. They won't let
you wait till their lunch time. When I rang up to ask
about my friend's phone number or the status of my
university's home, I got an immediate answer, unlike
here where I would be directed to contact so and so.
Recently I wrote to Bahagian Pencen asking about my wife
housing loan and the medical claim, I was directed to
ring up two other numbers when they could have solved
the problem by finding out themselves.
Americans are considerate, helpful and
kind to animals. Drivers stopped their cars to let
animals and men cross the road anywhere. They did not
think the right of way and therefore would move first at
junctions. The
list can go on and on and on.
But in a basket of eggs there tend to be
a bad one. The bad would be very bad, taking away
people's life is nothing, not only the lives of the
Arabs but also of fellow White Americans.

Would I want
to migrate to USA ?
I like to
visit USA because it is a fun place for
entertainment and relaxation. Driving is always
fun because of the excellent highway and road
system. Beautiful sceneries are everywhere if
you care to drive into the country side. It is
just a different environment.
Most people
are friendly. They talk to you even though you
don't know them.
To live in
America is not to my taste. You have to struggle
to be alive.
For old
people like me Malaysia is always the best. I
don't have to pay for my medical treatment.
There are
many good and delicious food around, sold at a
lower price. I just discover a very delicious
burger, huge and tasty at the price of RM5 each.
How
fantastic this Malaysian burger is. It can beat
Mac D anytime and anywhere in the world.
Today to
make a visit to USA is not easy. An application
for a VISA cost you RM500. You have to go for an
interview and may lost your money if you fail to
get one. Then you will be subjected to thorough
check by TSA on coming back and may have a hard
time with the immigration officer.
I have been
visiting the country for more than 20 time; one
time being mugged by a homeless.
I don't
exactly remember how many time I visited Hawaii.
The last visit I remember playing CHESS bited me
to by the Waikiki beach with a Black man whom I
beat several sets. He invited me to the island
again to play Chess with him.
But nothing
is like home. Hujan Emas di Negeri Orang, Hujan
Batu di Negeri Sendiri. |

PM
From Sarawak |
The next election
sees Sarawak giving most Federal seats to make
up BN 2/3 majority. Without Sarawak BN can pack
up and go from Putrajaya.
Sarawakian will
not standby to see both the PM and DPM are from
Peninsular. Najib will not be able to buy the
tycoon Taib who has more than enough. What Taib
will want is a Premiership.
What do you think
? |
Gangsterism is
not new to UMNO. The first was called SEBERKAS,
formed during Senu's period. Old gangsterism was
confined to tearing and bringing down of flags
and banners belonging to the opposition. Stone
throwing and splashing bus and destroying cars
are current phenomena. Mubarak too deployed
gangsters. |

A
MILLION RINGGIT RICHER |
A Home
Minister is to maintain peace and stability.
It is indeed unwelcoming for him to give a
thumb's up to any hooligans that destroy the
property and insulting the opposition. In
short he welcome violence and show he loves
them.
The
opposition has shown a great patience and
did not resort to similar actions.
Hishamudin must know the seriousness of
PERKASA/UMNO's hooliganism. It could lead to
bloody violence like May 13 but this time
among the Malays. I don't have to elaborate
on the potential danger.
A Home
Minister must quickly stop before the Malays
kill each other. The identification of
PERKASA members could be fatal if revenge
takes place. |
|
The poor
padi fields owner are now rich under BN's rule. Many
can't resist selling their padi fields for a miilion
ringgit with a free house of their design. They have to
thank Barisan government for the land act that enabled
them to sell their land and made them richer.
A million
computed divided among 4 children will be about 1/4
million each. Still a million. How long will that last ?
May be forever ? Some will buy a 60K cars, some 45K.
Expenditure will be more generous. 10 years later they
find their children could not buy even a small land or
even a house.
That was
what happened in Langkawi.
Oh, the
government cannot make the normal Malays rich because
they can't think well. Let the better Malays keep the
wealth and be wealthy. There is no better Malays than
the UMNOs. UMNO's wealth is the wealth of the Malays. So
the Malays must support the party. Have not UMNO proven
the wealth they have belong to the Malays when millions
ere giving away ? FELDA settlers get 15K each and huge
angpow during the raya. Taxis got free tyres.
Don't
worry about the 800K house, the government is building
low cost houses for everyone. Those expensive houses are
for foreigners or merely for wealthy people.
PERKASA
will see to it. Don't worry.

If we encourage
criminal then in no time our nation will be
infested with criminals. The smarter criminals
can plan to steal ATM machine and escaped. The
stupid criminals end up in getting a few hundred

Could not they be turning back to their Masters

Huge Crowds |
Last night I
did not go to Ustaz Idrus's talk due to the time
constraint. At 10.30 I decided to go and assess
the crowd.
The crowd was
so huge, triple in size of Najib or
Anwar's visits.The number of police and RELA was
quite considerable.
I didn't wait
till the end. |
|
HISHAMUDIN IS RIGHT - PEOPLE REJECT PKR |
Foreign Support |
Our leaders
desired foreign support and recognition. We
engaged foreign firms and pay them by the
millions to enhance our image.
Ambiga too has
friends overseas. Mrs. Clinton and Obama know
her more than Ibrahim Ali. Try to touch her and
see what can happen to us.
Foreign countries
support our government. They also support
non-government bodies. Who knows what more they
are capable of doing.
They have eyes
and they see. They have ears and they hear. They
have brought Soviet Union without war, Libya and
now pushing Assad out of office.
It will
inevitably comes if our people appeal for their
help.
I won't want to
spark fires. And let us not start any fire. A
fire is friend when small, an enemy when big. We
don't want night mares in every sleepless night. |
|
Hishamuddin Tun Hussein said the Johorean had expressed
themselves in attacking PKR's bus and other vehicles.
This is what Najib means by 'We will block them ( Kita
kena sekat ). Then it is good for BN because people are
against PKR.
Let the
election be quick so that there will be no more wastage.
After all people have spoken. Hishamudin is implying
that it
is legal for the Johorean to commit crime or murder on the
opposition party. The PERKASA was given a passport to
commit crime by the Home Minister himself.
Anwar was
attacked throughout Malaysia. Doesn't it means the whole
of Malaysia has spoken ? UMNO is at it's peak now. Let
be an ELECTION NOW.
His
statement is heard throughout the world. Let the world
judge what kind of man he is, his mentality and
capability.
If people
have spoken then there is no need for Najib to speak on
the TV every day and night. It is just a waste of breath
and time, no need to do the road show, no need to waste
any more money. Borrowing means a big burden for us.
The EC
said it is ready. First the people have spoken. They are
for Najib. And secondly BN can use a magic wand. The
first is enough. In any case BN will continue to rule.
We are
sure Hishamuddin will get 100% vote in his constituency.
Beat the
drum now. Have the GE13 the soonest. All will be over
soon. BN can enjoy another 5 years or forever.

FELDA
suicidal move and the plunging of the newly
FELDA share. Don't worry Ibrahim Ali is there to
save the Malays and FELDA. |
Land and
properties in Malaysia have been sold to
foreigners. As such the price has gone up sky
high.
Don't
worry PERKASA and Ibrahim Ali can prevent more
land from being sold to foreigners and bring down the
price for the Malays to buy them. |
Now that PERKASA
members are given a walkie talkie each to form a
network using the call sign PK, they can report
the number of agriculture land left over. |

HAD
NOT MUSLIMS BEEN INSULTED BEFORE ? |
Have
eyes they see not. Have brain they think not.
We
call them fools for failing to see their future,
their kids taking drugs and involve in crimes
and hooliganism, hunting for jobs and houses to
live in.
It
would be too late when they realize they are
fools. What broke and torn could never be
amended. Their corrupt leaders won't attend
their funerals, won't care the plight of their
kids and grand children.
That's what happen in Palestine. The folly
started with the Palestinians who sold their
land away. |
|
Muslims have been insulted before, and repeatedly time
and again. The greatest was the 9/11 when the False Flag
shifted the blame on the Muslim. Muslims were called
terrorists. Did the Muslims took to street the world
over and attacked every White men ?
There is no better word than 'be cool' to
mean 'bersabar'. Even patience would not match it.
Calmness does not mean losing or surrendering. It is a
faith within a man that will further strengthened his
closeness to God. Notice how Islam gain more converts
after the 9/11 in America and Europe.
Christians were viciously attacked, humiliated and insulted by the
Jewish TV; Mary was called a prostitute and Jesus a
bastard. The Christians in the United States could have
run amok and killed every neighboring Jew. But they
didn't.
There are Christians and churches who condemned Israel
occupation of Palestine, and exposed the culprits of
9/11 and pointed out how the Arabs were made tools by
the CIA to confess the murder. There were churches that
were against the burning of the Koran.
In Malaysia we see the Muslims were very cool when pig
heads were thrown in the mosque. I gave the thumb up to
the Malays whom I constantly condemn as stupid and
lazy. They kept cool with strong composure. Nobody accuse anybody but rational enough to
suspect a foul play and the possibility of the False Flag act. The fact
that nobody get mad did not mean they are not
devout Muslims.
I
have seen many You Tubes clips of insult on the Muslims.
IN spite of it the White conversion to Islam were
overwhelming.
Are you going to kill a man who call you stupid moron ?
Smart people take the insult with a smile. It would be
worst if you were to punch somebody else not the man who
insult you.
You may ask, 'Are we going to keep quite and smile if
someone is going to kill us ? ' No, we don't keep quite.
We defend ourselves. We don't go and kill innocent
people like what the Jews did to the Palestinians and
the American army did to the men and women in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Even after that the Marines who served in those
countries came home to the United States finally showed
their discontents to the American governments and they
sided the American Muslims who were discriminated.
That's what the faith is all about.
I don't agree that US Embassy is to be targeted. The
Film has nothing to do with the Ambassadors nor the
workers of the Embassy. The culprit is the film maker.
Go for him.

Don't
Poison Our Young Men
We need
to discuss our future together with good
heart and sincerity. We are Malaysians and
we need to discuss the various issues that
will face all the Malaysians in future. Let
us make this OUR COUNTRY not the Malay,
Indian or Chinese.
We need
to discuss the future of our basic needs;
shelter and food, economy and living, peace
and happiness and safety and security.
We must
learn how to share rather than being greedy,
how to build our nation together.
We must
make sure there will be no future hatred
among ourselves and learn how to give and
take. That's the only choice we have. |
|
Wooing Chinese Voters ? |
When we
are sick we feel the same. The Malays, Indians
and the Chinese didn't have different feeling.
When we are hungry we feel the same too.
We are
very united until the politicians say we are
not, we are different and we cannot mix.
Don't
let the politicians command our life and split
us.
At
oversea gatherings the Malaysians only recognize
themselves as one. No Indian felt he his the
India Indian o China Chinese. In their hearts
they feel deeply that they are Malaysians. |
|
Kissing the Keris gallantly the Malay Hero, Ibrahim Ali
with Mahathir around, took an oath to defend this
country from being taken by the Chinese. The Malays were
told how evil the Chinese is. Was it not seditious ?
Mooning is seditious but telling the Malays that Anwar
is selling the country to the Chinese isn't. And Ibrahim
even warned the Chinese to keep stockpile of food.
Then why woo them ? Didn't UMNO announced that it could
go alone without MCA ? Yet Soi Lek is meowing around
UMNO's feet.
I think PERKASA think the Chinese are stupid like the
Malays. You kick the Malays, pay them RM500 and they
will vote for you again and let themselves be kicked
again and again. The Chinese are mature voters. A
Chinese who corrupt you with RM10 will look down upon
you and will never respect you, ever.
How could you beg from people whom you cast like a dog.
Anwar Ibrahim was attacked by PERKASA not because of his
sexual case but because he was accused of selling the
country to the Chinese. Whenever someone mentioned about
it, I just kept quiet. I just see those people as pure
dumb and stupid. Even today the other part of UMNO is
accusing Najib the same thing.
Truly indeed, I pity Najib for being manipulated, most
likely by the corrupt group within the party. If Najib
didn't threaten the Chinese the people who support him
did. And the persons who want to see him down did it.
If Najib put Ibrahim Ali and the
rest who are anti-Chinese behind bars for good then it does make sense for BN
to woo the Chinese voters. Ibrahim Ali and PERKASA had
done too much damage to UMNO. It's stances made the
Chinese distanced themselves from BN and it made the
Malays feel more hatred towards UMNO/PERKASA at showing
disrespect towards mosque.
Yes BN does not have to woo the Chinese to continue for the
next 5 tears, even without the mandate of the populace.
It does not have to give 15K to the FELDA settlers.
But I dare to swear to God that the future is
uncertain. What's going on in the world will affect us.
If Fascist America is replaced \back by democracy our
country may see the change of leadership too. If WW3
explode and a serious conflict takes place in Thailand,
it will also affect us . Internally we can't tell what
the fire burnt underneath will do.
I would not want to
take risk. Winning by fraud and cheat open to a
great risk.

CLUB
STATION - TRAINING HAMS TO BE |
|
|
I
worked several club stations in China and Russia, mostly
in CW with operators who were not a full pledge hams
yet. They are training themselves to be hams. There were
a number of young children as members of the club
stations in Russia especially who are well verse in
Morse.
3 Eelements 80 meters yagi full
size
Club
Station is not easy to set up and run. A full pledge ham
has to be there at all time. He has to open and close
the station and coach the non-license members to
communicate the right way, not the way he likes, or the
way he heard the distant stations were talking. Many
hams are still using their own styles.
Several clubs in Malaysia were heard to operate by
people who were not suppose to do so, without the full
pledge ham at the club. The rules were not observed. A
club was known to give it's own special call sign to the
members and they were told to operate using their own
handies using the call signs. It went overboard.
A Club
Station is a place where a would be ham is trained, not
the so-called the commercial stations as allowed by the
authority, where the non-hams are known to own radio
sets without a license. Is it not a paradox ? And I
think it is shameful to the world. I notice there are
more chaos than order.
There
are 4 basic activities a club can have; teaching of
electronics and regulations, learning of Morse codes,
building electronic projects and communicating. It
is good to have communication between club members
locally under constant supervision.
Hence
the committee members have to really organize. There
must be someone to run the RAE class or the teaching of
electronics, someone to run the Morse class, the making
of the project, the chairman, treasurer and other
relevant posts for several other tasks.
The
best of a club is a comfortable place, perhaps an
abandon house or a house given away by some wealthy
tycoon. With be bed and cushion sets it attract hams to
go for chatting or playing chess and enjoy some snacks
and drinks. Else the government can provide a special
unused buildings or offices. In this way we can assure
the club will sustain for a long period and the
activities will continue for a long time.
The
memberships must be controlled to avoid bad elements and
criminals. This mean the club must be ready to expect
criticism and attacks. This is just common. People
criticize Prophets and Messiah and even God. We are only
men and a club is only a club. Memberships do not have
to be wooed. But the filed day and the exhibition
organize by it will attract people. Memberships are not
free.
Activities for fund raising would bring in revenue and
believe me if it is well run it could grow up to as
wealthy as ARRL or RSGB. The more the work the more fun
the members have. Have a newsletter even if the
memberships are very small.

Language as a
heritage
To retain our
heritage is not a chauvinistic effort. It
just to make sure our root and our race
survive.
If we do away
with our culture what is left is our skin
and our facial structure. We recognize each
other by the skin color and by our looks.
Language is
one that we must protect and prevent from
being killed and diminish. Jawi, Chinese
characters and Tamil alphabets must not
disappear.
The
government must know it and take step to
protect and promote them across
various ethnic groups. We need every
Malaysian to be well verse in at least 4
languages. Right now the Chinese and Indians
are better than the Malays. |
|
Does Language
Matter ? |
There is a need
to do an extensive research of our workforce. We
need to know their performance, productivity and
capability, their educational history.
We have to be
very objective, non-bias and drive at the
conclusion base on the data. How bad is our
education system ? We somehow can assess from
the result. |
The effectiveness
of our education system also depends on
the quality of the school's principal and the
teachers. We can't afford to have lazy teachers
and teachers without appropriate knowledge. We
also can't afford to have heads of schools who
do not know how to administer schools.
The current
renumeration and promotion system is stinking.
Bad teachers are handsomely paid like the hard
working teachers. |
|
We used to have
three medium of instructions of secondary education;
Malay, English and Chinese. When we decided to lunch
Bahasa Melayu as a National Language we decided to have
only a single medium ie Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan. The
government abolish English schools. Even with Malay as
the medium of instructions the performance of the
Chinese students in Bahasa Malaysia excelled the Malays.
Mahathir being a
little smarter than the rest think Dewan Bahasa dan
Pustaka was too slow to produce books of knowledge
whereas there were tons of them in English. To be able
to progress like the West we must think like the West.
Think in English.
The Chinese on the
other hand were proud of their language and at the same
time want their generation to move forward. The West had
humiliated the Chinese in the Opium War. Chinese
technology was not to be belittled. China first created
papers and gun powders.
The Chinese printed
cheap books and magazines on electronics, electric,
lathe and other technologies in Mandarin. Terms were
created where ever convenient eg Tien Hwa, Tien Naw,
Tien Chi consisting the common Tien to mean electrical
devices. Those un-translated remained English. In 1960's
tons of cheap paper back books and magazines flooded the
bookstores including Malaysia.
Though China was
build up with Mandarin the nation did not ignore foreign
languages. They spoke American language like Americans,
Malay like the Malays.
It is the
attitudes, mental setup, hard work and believing in
themselves that drive them almost at par with the West.
Can't we revive the
English schools ? Let the parents make the choice. Even
at the moment where Arabic schools do not promise too
bright future, thousands of parents sent their kids to
those schools. They have the choice.
More important than
knowledge is the attitudes. There is a saying 'give a
man a fish, he eats it for a day, teach him how to fish
he can eat for the rest of his life'. The Malays who are
pampered will not go far. It is not the medium of
instruction that helps or hinders progress and
improvement but it the desire to achieve it. Persons of
positive attitude and full of resilience will find ways
to be at the top.
If we are skeptical
then let have the three medium live side by side
together. Let the parents make their own choice.

Q-Codes commonly used by HAMS |
|
Non-Ham in
Emergency |
Code |
Meaning |
Sample use |
Q-Codes
design for CW has been misused or over used on
telephony. In phone conversation one must try to use
the plain language as much as one can. There are
many Q-Codes hams never use at all in CW. The most
used by hams in CW communications are QRZ, QRL, QTH,
QRM, QRN, QSB, QRT, QRX. Occasionally QRS, QRU and
rarely QRQ, QRO, QRP and QRV.
Even QSL
is now changed to CFM by some stations.
Now we do
hear OP instead of NAME. OP is a radio term for
Operational Procedures. The worst to abuse the
Q-Codes are the 9Ws. Some smart guys are using QRA
to give their names.
Q Codes used commonly used in amateur
practice
QRL |
Is this frequency busy |
Used almost exclusively with Morse code |
QRM |
Man-made interference |
There's another QSO up 2 kHz that's causing
you a lot of QRM |
QRN |
Static crashes |
The band is noisy today; I'm hearing a lot
of QRN |
QRO |
Increase transmitting power |
I need to QRO when propagation is poor. |
QRP |
Low(er your) transmitting power |
I'm using a QRP transmitter here, running
only 3 watts |
QRS |
Send your Morse code more slowly |
Please QRS, I'm new to Morse code |
QRT |
Stop sending |
I've enjoyed talking to you, but I have to
QRT for dinner now |
QRV |
Ready to receive |
Will you be QRV in the upcoming contest? |
QRX |
Hang on a minute, I'll be right back |
Please QRX one |
QRZ |
Who is calling me? |
QRZ? I hear someone calling, but you're very
weak |
QSB |
Fading of signal |
I'm hearing a lot of QSB on your signal |
QSL |
Acknowledge receipt |
I QSL your last transmission |
QSO |
A conversation with another ham |
Thanks very much for the QSO |
QSY |
Change frequency |
Let's QSY up 5 kilohertz |
QTH |
Location |
My QTH is South Park,
Colorado |
QTR |
Exact time |
QTR is 2000 Z |
RAE is tougher than
it was. In the '70s the questions on Q-Codes were not
mandatory yet the new licensees must go CW for a year
and CW used them. The test was in English and of essay
type. There was question like draw and describe the
working of a superheterodyne
receiver, design a
dipole antenna and explain the propagation, draw and
describe a class A amplifier, explain the logbook etc.
The first part was on regulations and procedures.
Today it is
tougher. Hams are smarter. For that reason they use
Q-Codes all the way on phone and some terms which were
not heard in the yeteryears.

Previously we were too careful to make
sure a man only did a single job. Today
a man even hold 3 or 4 posts. If a
teacher runs a business, and an a
PERKASA chief his concentration on the
job divides and there could be a
conflict of interest. Or he is the head
of UMNO and the head of PAS. It would be
absurd and funny.
One
cannot be a President of two opposing
companies. It is like a person with two
or three religion. Putting him to take
charge of his own money and the money
belonging to the public, he tends to
plough the public fund into his own.
At one
time we asked a Malaysian with dual
citizenships to denounce one of them.
There
is a public cry when a Minister is
running a business at the same time. He
will not perform well in his public
service though he may claim otherwise.
He will make use of the government
properties to his benefit. And he may
manipulate procedures to gain a
government contract for his companies.
This
is not merely applicable to politicians
but to all other organizations and
institution. One man must only hold one
post. |

Listening To Stupid People |
Quotes
In my opinion, two of
the worst characteristics one can have are arrogance
and stupidity...arrogance because one always thinks
he knows what's best and stupidity because he rarely
does.
i think you said it
all but i can add know it alls and nonlisteners.
Selfishness, and the
use of an ability to Manipulate.
NOT A GOOD COMBINATION.
Um , mine would have
to be people who think they can school you on
everything- even if they know it's not true! another
would have to be cruelty, I try to love, it just
gets hard.
Arrogance is like my
#1 all time thing that annoyes the piss out of me!
So, Arrogance and... Well, like you said- stupidity.
I cannot stand when
someone is conceited or lazy. I have no respect for
either one of those.
Lack of common sense
and tact...........
Narcissism and
thinking they are always right-never at fault
Their excuses never
end
Arrogance and
stupidity are the same thing. One cannot exsist
without the other. This person thinks he knows
everything, but is to stupid to realize no one does. |
People with knowledge and wisdom listen a lot.
People without any tend to teach and talk a lot.
Stupid people who think they are clever could be a
menace to society. They preached wrong things,
hoping others to solve problems for them, fail to
see the logic of relationship and lack of profound
knowledge. They appeal to emotion rather than using
rationality.
If
we cannot identify them by the look we must look at
the academic qualification. Though degrees do not
prove ability and intelligence we can rely on them
more than the less educated group.
Stupid people are full of excuses which are mostly
childish. It is best to just listen but not to
argue. They don't want to listen to your argument
and they will be talking with the loudest voice to
satisfy their ego.
But wisdom is not the property of highly qualified
individuals. It can be within anyone who enrich
themselves with knowledge gathered from literatures
and from fellow humans. Without academic
qualification a person can be wise if he knows the
relationship between good and bad, understand the
characters of other humans and always take the safe
paths.
There are not many wise men as compared to fools.
Fools are not the property of the ignorance and
uneducated too. Even lawyers, engineers and people
with degrees were cheated and fell to prey though
the numbers may be small.
We
do hear of highly qualified men and professionals
being ridden by the lesser educated. They later
realize their folly when everything went down the
drain and chaos rules.
We
can't afford to have a Minister with only SRP
qualification. He will rule a country like a tyrant,
forcing the citizen to listen to him. He will shut
everybody's mouth and resort to despotic means,
enacting laws and suppressing the people. Yet the
more stupid people listen to the stupid guy. He has
no imagination nor creativity. His vision is narrow
and blur and fuzzy.
Putting him to run an organization he would ruin it.
This is a free country. You can choose to listen to
the stupid people. You can choose to be their tools.
Or you reject them.

What
Could I Say About MARTS ? |
ANOTHER
RESPECTABLE PERSON |
I just met
this man about a week ago at the jogging
path. I do not jog but only walk. This area
is unlike the Taman Rimba which is akin to a
garden. It is at the outskirt of Darul Aman
stadium near to Jalan Bakar Bata. The trees
provide shade and made the walking
comfortable.
This Chinese
man is friendly and every time we passed
each other he would say something or asking
some question.
Yesterday he
asked,"Do you know what my age is ? " I was
mum. I could not guess though he looked
about my age. Instead of answering his
question, I told him my age. "I am 66," I
said.
"I am eighty
plus. I am a sportsman," he said."I play
basketball for Malaysia."
I was elated
knowing that he was a national figure
before. No wonder he looked fit and young.
And I tend to like him. Today if the weather
permits I will go to the stadium again and
will say "Hi" to him on passing him or asked
him how many rounds has he completed.
What if I
have met Ibrahim Ali doing a jogging
exercise at a lonely and quiet place like
that ? After a couple of HI I am sure there
will be a heated debate about WHO SOLD
THE MALAYS. |
Solving the Mystery pf WTC 7 |

What else can I say about MARTS ? I have said enough
about MARTS and the future of Amateur Radio and about
the need for quality hams. I have no more to say.
Outside the topic I repeatedly touched on myopia, the
short sightedness of our actions and planning. I did
mention if I were to throw all my rigs into the sea I
would not allow hams to come into my house to talk about
radio but they would be welcome to speak on other
matters, because I know they will be telling me about
the demise of amateur culture and the filth on amateur
band. I also tend to believe that the fish rot from head
down.
If I were to give my view people will not listen to me.
I think too far reverse from theirs. So it is better to
say nothing at all.
I would like to say a little to some little people.
Don't look at what happen to MARTS as an independent
issue. It has some common factor with Malaysian Amateur
Radio, the authority (MCMC) and the memberships of every
club and society.
As for me I even look outside the radio world, at human
attitudes, the level of education, the mental and
emotional state. These are the people who are in the
work force, in politics, in businesses and our society.
And in our clubs, society and hobbies. It is about a bad
and good citizen, the efficient and inefficient
administrators.
Maturity and creativity are utmost important for a
healthy community. Without wisdom there will be no peace
and chaos will rule us.
My SWL number was 65162. I was proud to be MARTS members
in the early '70's. I knew all the active hams and enjoy
listening to their evening chats, full of jokes and
knowledge. I learned about flying from 9M2GV, about golf
from 9M2WT, law from 9M2DW, music from 9M2SB and how to
repair my FT101 from 9M2DJ. I pinned up the certificate
for conforming report of Malaysian hams. There was a
pride.
My Elmer were Eshee and Malcom.
Now that MARTS has been terminated, I have nothing to
say though there are so much that I have to bury with
me.
I am sorry.

THE POOR NORTH KOREANS |
|
|
We
ought to ask ourselves why should someone else should
force us to think as they do and why they must force us
to believe as they do. They do their business and we do
ours as along as we do not step on their toes. We have
been forced to believe that the North Koreans are evil,
do not provide freedom and liberty, a country without
the respect to human right.
I
think it is a battle between good and evil. As who is
the evil depends on a person perception. We have been
told that Communism is bad and evil. And we all know
that.
But not many of us
understand and see the design of those who control the
world's wealth who fear of losing their grip if
socialism were to be in control of the world. They would
lose all the wealth and property. They will end up in
jail. They are too powerful to be thrown out using
democracy. They can buy winning. They even control the
Military Industrial Complex.
Countries like North
Korea or Iran could export agitation against capitalism.
North Koreans standard of
living may be lower than their southern brothers and the
rest of the non-Communist world. In term of luxury we
are much better off. But in the capitalist United States
people are losing jobs and houses by the millions. The
Americans on the street even claim that democracy is
fascist. The First Amendment that prohibited the making
of any law which contravenes it in term of free speech.
Yet Obama signed the Act against it. There are Patriot
Act, NDAA, Trespass and several others that can arrest
the suspect without trial indefinitely.
Be careful of the Youtube
video which are aiming of demonizing countries like
North Korea, China, Iran, Syria and the former Libya.

What constitute
sinful and insolent acts? |
|
A group of veteran doing a butt
dance, a Chief Minister doing a f*****g sign, the
burning of Guan Eng image, the stone throwing that hurt
people, the shoe throwing in mosque, the sending of a
coffin to Pak Lah's house by UMNO, the fabrication of
DNA, the approval of the C4 bomb, the threatening on the
Chinese etc. etc seem to be alright and legal. But the
students who butted at Najib and Rosmah's image was
considered rude and insolent. Yet there are those who
throw stones at the public transportation with Najib's
image on them go scott free. Tenths and thousands of
ringgit had been spent to repair the damage.
Mahathir said during his time
people didn't shit him because he was not aware of it.
And there were celebrations when he was warded for the
heart failure. Only if he had heard and saw what people
said about him and did to his picture, he would have
known the loath towards him were too very great. If this
is Libya he would have been sodomized even after his death.
Everywhere we heard people wishing for his quick demise.
We don't condone disrespect.
But a
leader is of no different from any other layman because
in the eye of God they are the same. And in the eyes of
many millions living men they are the same too. Showing a
but by the student and by the veterans ere equally
disgusting.
How could we say it is alright to
piss on Guan Eng and Anwar but not OK on Najib ? How
could we say f*****g by UMNO is not insolent but people
can't do it on UMNO ? It is alright for Soi Lek to
be a leader in spite of his sleeping with other woman
but not alright for Anwar ?
An act is sinful and insolent on
both parties and both sides if it is forbidden by God
and religion.
A respect has to be earned. Some
of the speeches and rhetoric turned the people off.
Constant public harassment can make us losing respect.
As PERKASA had been beating to raise the emotion of the
Malays the other people too are feeling the same, the
rage and hatred towards Najib increase.
A fight with the people won't benefit the government
because the seed of hatred will grow. The people may
seek foreign help quietly. The other day one man in my
tour group was criticizing the Communist government in
China and he was met with a furious response by the
Chinese tour guide who pointed out how uncivilized our
government is and how we treat the Chinese in Malaysia.
And the Indonesians are frowning at us too.
Iraq, Syria and Libya were cases where the few people
went to seek for foreign help. No amount of security can
stop or halt the foreigners armed support.
It is therefore unwise for a government to allow the
number of dissidents to grow as the proverb says 'seperti
api dalam sekam'. We don't have choice but to unite the
Malaysians not trying to split them. We will not be able
to sustain stability as the demographic pattern changes.
So cool the people down instead of putting
insurmountable pressure on them. There cannot be a double
standard. What constitute insolent to one party is also
insolent to another.
Gadafi had
been very generous to the people. The Libyans get most
of what they want. Yet we saw what had happened to such
a benevolent leader, just because of a few unhappy
people.
The unhappy people who
express themselves in blogs, criticizing the government
publicly and those young people who were butting the
Prime Minister were not dangerous. We know who they are,
the barking dogs that do not bite. The danger ones are the
unknown, unvocal, never show public anger and we can't
trace them. We must not allow the number to grow. It can
pose a grave danger to our tranquility.

COMMUNIST EVIL ?
Like many others I am anxious to know whatever is
happening the Communist North Korea. Communism has been
a fearful word for us because of the war we have with
the Communist terrorist .
Communism has been associated with human controlled.
There is no freedom of worship. Religion is suppressed.
Individuals do not have freedom of movement and speech.
Layman cannot own a car nor property.
Somehow the Communist world was opened to all to visit.
Waves after wave of Malaysians visited China. Thousands
went to Soviet Union. Today we do not see communists in
China and Vietnam. And the fear of Communism has been
replaced by the fear of Islam.
Thanks to the You Tube that allow us to see what's
inside North Korea. It is up to us to wisely used our
mind to judge the country.

I have been observing at least three
schools in Alor Setar which I termed 'Ailing Schools' by
the performance of the Public Examination. For over several
years they fared badly and maintain their positions at the
bottom of the list. These are town schools, not far away from
the District Education Office.
School's Head changed from time to time.
There were improvements made to infrastructure. Yet the educational
achievements remain the same. One has to look into the
administration of the school, the teachers' attitudes, the
students and the parent's involvement in their children's
education.

WWILL THERE
BE NEXT YEAR ?
A
considerable number of Americans do not believe there
will be next year. The Iran-Israel War will end it all.
The war will be within this year. They say the
'Anti-Christ' has arrived. It could be a symbolic mean
of those who fear no God, cheating and looting, passing
to legalize gay marriages. The prophesies were not only
from the ancient sages but also stated in the bible.
Behaviors of politicians show shamelessness. They buy
people with money to cover the sin and habit of
corruption and cronyism.

Earlier this year
Amateur radio operator Bob Williams, N7ODM,
of Bozeman, Montana, heard a faint Morse
code signal. The transmission was coming
from Glenn Russell Ruby Jr, W7AU, who had
just broken his leg in the wilderness. Glen
was using a portable radio and
Morse code
to send out a call for help. Although the
signal was very week, Bob was able to pick
up Glen’s call for help.
Injured with
a broken leg, Glen was able to get out his
exact GPS coordinates, and detailed
information on his physical condition. He
was able to tell Bob who to contact for
emergency assistance.
The whole
thing started when Glen slipped on a wet
rock and broke his leg while hiking in the
high Cascades of Western Washington. Once
injured Glen’s instincts to survive took
over, before even calling for help, he set
up his tent, got into some warm clothes, had
a snack, and strung up a wire antenna.
Glen then
fired up his Ham Radio and put out his call
for help. Thanks to his radio, rescue crews
were able to locate and rescue Glen.

HAM
RADIO - KNOW THE LIMITS AND BOUNDARIES |
Well,
that’s what the FCC says: the Amateur Radio
Service is not an emergency radio service.
K1ZZ’s
QST editorial
quotes the FCC and points out that the
mission of the Amateur Radio Service is
indeed broader than emergency
communications. (The FCC does recognize the
role that amateur plays in emergencies — see
this web page.)
|
The
ability to communicate can save lives
Radio experiments and testing had been
part and parcel of Ham radio.
There is an art to radio listening a ham
should master especially in picking weak
signals in heavy man-made or static noise.
Ethics, procedures, patience and courtesy
must be observed at all time. Occasionally
we heard four letter word, yell and shout on
the band.
|
|
How could not Ham Radio be mixed with politics when
politicians were drag in and behave cockily as if this
hobby belong to them and was made in Malaysia. The politicization of
Amateur Radio, and the attempt to bring in the picture
of Royalty has been a
very sad episode of hamming in the country. In USA the
FCC warned that Amateur Radio is not a tool to display
one's patriotism.
Some overzealous hams want to make hams to do the police
job, the rescue job, the security and health job by
using the ham frequency as if the world does not care to
address those services, and not allocating
frequencies for those organizations.
At the time of disaster hams who are not at the affected places
are ever ready to help. That's good and commendable.
While affected hams may be struggling to free themselves
from the raving flood, with ham gears are under
water. It is just proper for hams who
want to help to go together with the
Search and Rescue team. Independent move could
result in possible blame for looting.
HAMS are not KINGs in disaster. They are also not kings in
police or health job. Each service has it's own
procedures, communication equipments and frequencies.
Those without communication facilities need to apply from the local
authority; be it the Anti-Dadah, St. John Ambulance,
Le-Tour Langkawi or RELA.
The police always create zones in disaster area for
safety and security and to ensure there is no looting
and theft. People who bulge in can also do a lot of
mischief. This has happened everywhere.
If HAMS are so zealous in extending their help, it would
be wise for them to help train the JPAM personnel in
their HQ. A weekly visit would be good. To arrange a
communication drill among JPAM HQ would be good too.
Nevertheless Hams can offer their volunteery services during emergency when
needed.
The importance of this understanding is to avoid
un-authorize politician to halt ham communication at
will to make a certain announcement which can be deemed
as personal.
Hams must know their limit, and when to jump in or not
to during the disastrous time.
At the time of peace and tranquility the Radio Authority
can set special frequencies for hams to assist At a location where there is
no JPAM or police or any rescue organization then Hams
can come into play, abiding by a strict code and
procedure. For this purpose it is mandatory for Hams to learn the
rescue procedures, the first aid, and other relevant
skills. Also they must be approved and recognized as
one of the organizations to run the operation. That they
have to follow the order from the command center.
To be a Superman by
involving a political man and to show high handedness in
various aspects could not be acceptable. Stepping in into an
amateur world is the willingness to put aside one's
greatness and big title, one's power and political
beliefs. The ethics must be observed.

Products from China
|
CHINA MUST OVERSEER IT's PRODUCTS |
Are these real or imitation ?
|
As
time goes by the trust on Chinese products begin to
diminish slowly. Firstly it is due to the quality and
secondly it is because of the freak imitation. The
second is the most serious.
Initial sale would bring in money and profit. Because of
the low price people go for the Chinese but the second
buy will go to the European, Japanese or American. Most
of the Chinese products I bought did not last me long
enough. They get rusty though kept indoors. I decide to
buy the non-Chinese but branded utensils and hardware
even with much higher price.
I pity those who visited China and bought a clone iPad
and iPhone. They thought it was original from the casing
and the packing. After a quick bargain and payment they
moved away happily but later to discover those
merchandised were fake. My student didn't get cheated in
China but in Mecca when he brought back a fake iPhone.
The global recession may not affect China if the volume
of trade within Asian countries continue to flourish.
With the increasing numbers of people losing confidence
in Chinese products China could be in trouble as well.
Hence the government of China should look into the
products and to take stern actions on the makers of
imitations and the low quality products. She cannot wait
until the economic turmoil hit the continent. It must
start now.
If I have money I won't dare to buy even Cherry. At
least the Malaysian made are better than the Chinese.

Mat
Rempit Malaysia
Drug
addicts among the Malays are alarming
Poor Malays
Bag snatching has lead to several
deaths
In the 50's the
Malays looked down at many of the jobs done by
the non-Malays, like the night soil carrier, and
hard labor jobs done by the Indians. A Malay
does not have to work in those days because they
have land for 'Kerja Kampong'. Life was very
easy. They don't have to struggle for survival.
About 20 years the situation began to change. |

Pissing
on pictures |
A few pf the
American Christians aware of the Hollywood movie
made by Jews portraying a person urinating on a
picture of Jesus Christ.
UMNO had been
burning and pictures of PKR leadership and PKR
people are also pissing on UMNO's.
Pissing on
pictures, dancing showing butts, burning flags
and pictures have been a common practice.
May there are
four or five who pissed at pictures are aware of
the telepathic waves, sending messages of curse
and hatred to the person appeared on the image
while pissing on it.
Such actions
will not be the practice of the persons with a
strong character.
The curse
using the brain MAY result in a certain effect
if the brain wave is big and huge enough to
reach the person hated. WE don't know how each
wave combine with the other thousands if the
thought of curse come together.
Telepathy has
been tested before. The brainwave was measured
and the distant it covers was also tested.
The group
prayer and the chanting of verses could give a
more devastating effect than the pissing on the
pictures. |

PERKASA is a new organization formed with the express
purpose to prevent this country from being a Chinese
country. It was actually to garner the diminishing Malay
support towards UMNO so that UMNO would survive the 13th
General Election.
I think it is moving towards the wrong direction and the
actions of throwing stones at innocent people and shoes
in the holly places have nothing to do with the
Protector of the Malays. They are myopic enough not to
study the various acts passed during Mahathir's era that
is has a negative effects to the Malays in particular
and the Malaysian in general. They don't see the flies
on their own nose, that as a result of UMNO's policy
they can't even buy a descent home for their families. A
house is costing almost a million in the state of Kedah
and the average price is half a million.
The recent Usahawan Melayu gathering headed by Mukhriz
and Mustaffa with PERKASA members promised business
opportunities, and the same guys attending the seminar
would not be able to get a shop lot to run their
businesses. And if anyone gets the franchised project
they will be squeezed to their last sweat.
The blindness seems to be a permanent mental drawback.
They fail to see the morality of the younger Malays who
are prone to end themselves with drugs. School boys and
Mat Rempit failed the drug test. Petty thefts and house
breakings, bag snatching and day light robberies.
Why not they bind together and attack the illness of
the Malay youths and declare war on drugs and crimes
particularly where the Malays are involved ? Instead
they fought to allow the cheatings in election, and
throwing stones and shoes in the mosque.
Didn't they know
that the Malays are still behind in education and
competitive business ? How many drop outs are they each
year ? How many can't read and write after 6 years of
education ? How many parents could not manage their
children's education ? Where are the PERKASA members ?
Malays are no more
a dominant race in this country. Day by day there is a
shrinking ratio. The demographic pattern change. They
must learn to live together as a Malaysian for permanent
peace and tranquility. Ibrahim's Ali threatening of the
Chinese calling them to keep food storage showed how
stupid he is. It is not the Chinese who must keep food,
it is he himself must keep enough of them.
Noh Omar has a land
and he farmed it out. Why not Ibrahim Ali and the
PERKASA's boys go and rear prawns or cows ? Shahrizat's
husband were given RM259 millions to rear cows yet he
manipulated the gift to buy the two condos. Why not
Ibrahim Ali and his PERKASA boys form their own
corporative to rear cows and run super markets instead
of throwing shoes in a mosque ?
This so-called
Malay nationalists are Malay destroyers for not acting
against corruptions at the highest level, says nothing
about the demise of Bank Bumi Putera, says nothing about
Takaful and Hong Leong, say nothing about cronyism and
plan nothing to make Malays as a respectable race.

Najib is cornered by
his own men
Najib was
stopped by his own men. If my guess is right
the most vocal man is Rais Yatim. It looks
like Rais is doing most of the planning for
Najib.
They are
pushing Najib to carry on with the war with
Pakatan Rakyat, convincing him that BN has a
strong machine to maintain power. We see
this in the 114A Act when Najib suggestion
was rejected by his man. Rais was the most
outspoken.
It is
difficult to be good though he would like
very much to do. He is cornered by the
crimes committed by the those who were
trying to make good of the government.
Gani
Patail was accussed of committing crime of
corruption and fabricating evidence. Others
are known as corrupt. |

CULTURE
OF
LIES |
Not
enough with throwing stones the UMNO Samseng
is throwing shoes in the mosque.
What
good of UMNO to throw shoes in the mosque
and destroying the House of God's property. |
Instead of pulling the
Malays to UMNO it created a much deeper
hatred towards UMNO. Pictures of UMNO
samsengs were captured.
I don't think so they
will escape punishment. |
Najib's
declaration of war with fellow Malaysians is
indeed folly and unwise. It can result in Civil
War as in Syria. Doesn't UMNO foresee the danger
of what can happen ?
|
21
st Century saw the beginning of the culture of global lies by political
leaders. Presidents and former President from a big
nation did not show any shame or guilt at all. Clinton's
biggest lie was he denied knowing Monica Lewinsky. Bush
and his total administration concertedly lie to the
American public about 9/11.
To date Obama continues to defend the lies of Bush
administration.
Across the oceans and continents the same sin occurs. Leaders were dodging issues on the Filipinos
immigrants, 30 million contract to Raja Nong Chik's
daughter, kickback from the Scorpene dealings, Gani
Patail's fabrication case on Anwar and the crimes in
Malaysia. The diversion and lying tactics do not make
the wrong things right.
Big
liars either do not believe in God or skeptical about
religion. Enough had been said about this sinful
act by the Muslims and the Christians , yet the practice
is surprisingly adopted by clerics and priests . They
help to defend the avarice of the politicians.
Why the 21st century has been the turning point of lies
becoming a political culture ?Philosophers are equating
it with the prophesies on apocalypse in year 2012.
Churches are looking at the bible prophesies on the end
of the world. They are talking about the Gog and Magog
war in relating to Iran-Israel war which was projected
to begin in October this year.
Towards the end
mankind will be losing their morality, the ability to
judge the right and the wrong and will commit sins after
sins. Lies are on of those strings of sins; gay
marriage, free sex, incest and spouse swapping. Islam
does not predict when the end will come but confirmed
the signs of ending have been numerous.
Liars will somehow
pay the price. The time will come.
