WHO BEARS
THE SIN ?
I am sorry I am
not a liberal man in dealing with the question on
religion. It happens that I believe in God, the only one
God, God of all mankind. As the followers of Islam I
also respect other religion. Having friends from all
faith and believers I never coax or persuade anyone to
embrace Islam and never said to them Islam is the best
and the true faith. For more than 40 years having
non-Muslim friends we never encroached our friends'
feelings.
The Malays
especially the UMNO group have never compute and
anticipate the future. Assessing their debates during
the UMNO assemblies, and being with them during my
working days, I found that they have no insight to the
future of the Malays.
Does UMNO ever
anticipate anything, predict anything and observe
happenings around them ? If UMNO's top brass do not
think religion is important what do you expect the
future of Islam in this country ? Try to recall what
Samy Veloo commented on Al-Quaran and what Mahathir said
about the Holly Prophet. Try to recall what Dr Mashitoh
said about Hudud and Jarjis commented on Islam.
And Najib went
out all out to get international approval including the
approval of the Pope of Rome. Who bears the sin of Najib
and the issue of Allah other than those who vote for
UMNO ? Even the phrase 'Malay Unity' sound like a
non-Islamic connotation. Islamic Unity and Co-Operation
is more meaningful and sensible. A Malay can be
anything; a good Muslim, a bad Muslim, a Christian, an
illuminati, drug pusher, a robber or a liar.
In my last
article 'The Future Is Now' I mentioned of the Malay
ignorance on the current status of school children and
simply nobody cares to relate it to the future time of
this nation. Rais Yatim, the First Class Law Degree
holder, an UMNO strong man, insisted that morality and
ethics belong to home, the responsibility of the
parents. One Deputy Education Minister sided a student
who kicked his teacher rather than siding the teacher.
When I was a
school Principal I was told not to put up any question
to an official from the Ministry of education. My
questions were known to be biting though not offensive.
Of course I even challenged them to bet as a result of
their policy.
During Mahathir's
era worst thing could have happened in school. In short
he didn't want Muslim students to near themselves to
religion. He believed Islam bred terrorists. He almost
close religious schools had not because of some of the
UMNO members who sent their kids for early religious
education.
UMNO should have
known the political history of Christianity and
therefore could have anticipated what they will be doing
in this region; their plans and modus operandi. They
should also be well verse with Catholic-Protestant
conflicts in the early period. The Jews do. and
prepared well to deal with the Christians.
If UMNO did take
interest they would have prepared a thousand of Ahmed
Deedat.
Najib is more
interested in digging Anwar's past than looking at the
Catholic Bishop's profile and his detailed background.
And UMNO goons are wearing 'I Love Najib' T-shirts
without shame.
I wonder how many
Ustaz dare to debate about God in English with the
Catholic counterparts ? But we all know the number who
could speak Malay well to persuade the Malays to vote
for UMNO and said it is sinful to go against the
government. And the Home Minister is aggressively
weakening Muslim's unity.
The intent for
the use the word God must be defined and recognized
clearly, and compare with the usage of the Word God in
India, China, Japan and the rest of the world. It must
also be established which one is God in the Trinity and
which among the three is used throughout the world
during Christian sermons. Which was the original bible
and terms used in the various translation ? Are Catholic
anti-Christ and it is a Pagan religion ?
UMNO is busy in
bragging on their effort to help the flood victims,
giving them money and various help. Shahrizat said,
"Without UMNO the people will die in the flood."
If UMNO had cared
about Islam and the economy of the Malays, Noh and
Ibrahim Ali would not have to protest against the
church.

PRIESTS HIT HARD BY HIDDEN AIDS
EPIDEMIC
CNN
January 31, 2000
(AP) -Roman Catholic priests in the United States
are dying from AIDS-related
illnesses at a rate four times higher than the general
population and the
cause is often concealed on their death certificates,
The Kansas City Star reported in a series of stories
that started Sunday.

CATHOLIC PRIESTS ARE DYING OF AIDS,
OFTEN IN SILENCE
By JUDY L. THOMAS -
The Kansas City Star
Date: 01/29/00 22:15
Rich Sugg/The Star
Hundreds of Roman
Catholic priests across the United States have died of
AIDS-related illnesses, and hundreds more are living
with HIV, the virus
that causes the disease. The actual number of AIDS
deaths is difficult to determine. But it appears priests
are dying of AIDS at a rate at least
four times
that of the general U.S. population, according to
estimates from medical experts and priests and an
analysis of health statistics by The Kansas City Star.
The deaths are of such concern to the church that most
dioceses and religious orders now
require applicants for the priesthood
to take an HIV-antibody test before their ordination.
One
theory is that priests molest young boys because of the
abstinence in their lives. But, my question is, why not
little girls? At least they're female. Or are those
priests all gay as well as sexually deprived?

A LEADER
NEED TO BE APPRECIATED AND RESPECTED BY EVERYONE
To have a leader
being respected by all is almost impossible. There are a
few who hate even God.
But there is
always a difference, a good man being hated and a bad
man being hated. A good man does not create sin and
caused no pain to the people. A bad man is full of sins
and cares for himself, serving himself the excessive luxury of life.
He wants to be a God. Or he wants to be the mother of a
Satan ?
Najib is the
first ever Prime Minister I ever saw followers wearing
'I LOve Najib' T-Shirts. He has the most TV time
among all the PMs. How many actually adore and respect
him ?
The article below
describes the popularity of Najib. It could only be the
opinion of the writer. You judge it by yourselves.
A Prime Minister need to be supported
or respected by a big majority of people. 80% is just
fine. Above 89% would be better. 100% is impossible.

IS IT TRUE -
ILLUMINATI
?
Do the Malays care about illuminati ?
It is easy to ask but it is not easy to answer. Try to
ask a more broader question; "Do the Malays care about
anything at all ?" One may want to
know which Malay because there are several kinds and
categories of Malays; the evil and the bad, cheaters,
liars, drug peddlers, and honest and sincere. We can't
even tell how many percents fall under each category.
We could guess that a big majority cares more about the
Brim and money and money. Some will bow and pray
to anything that promise them even a few hundred ringgit.
Even if Abu Hassan is a Christian Prime Minister they
will praise him if Abu Hassan shows his generosity.
At this juncture we cannot jump to conclusion the
concept and ideal of illuminati. Is it connected to
Jewish religion ? Is it a form of Paganism ? Is it
Christians or an anti-Christ ? PAS
members might convince that UMNO is illuminati. UMNO
says Keadilan is illuminati. before the era of computer
and TVs I have heard about some big time UMNO members
participating in some sort of rituals. But I didn't know
about illuminati then. But one thing I
do know, that the illumati always think they are strong
and powerful. Some members are very disciplined and
others are bad apples. You have to
read more but do not fall to anything that you read.

Starting from yesterday a small mini

freezer in the kitchen too shared the same fate. Now my
old second hand freezer is the main server for keeping
things cool. I am sure my electricity bill for the next
month won't experience a shocking increased.
I have an air conditioner in my room,
a low power unit, suitable for a small space. The shack
is hot and stuffy. The machine gathers cob-webs. It has
not been on for months. May be this year it was idle all
the time.

Sexual Abuse Files
of 42 Catholic Priests Will Be Released
Tomorrow; ‘Prepare To Be Shocked,’
Archbishop Says
June 30, 2013 By
Terry Firma
Tomorrow at 1:00 p.m.
(Central Time), a new chapter opens in
the long, sordid tale of Catholic clergy
raping children. That’s the hour when
the Milwaukee diocese, which has found
itself in bankruptcy proceedings since
early 2011, will make thousands of pages
of incriminating records available,
including personnel files and secret
depositions by the highest Catholic
Church authorities in Wisconsin. Both
the
archdiocese’s site and a
website run by victims’ lawyers will
publish the documents.
There is speculation that the
disclosure may be a body blow to New York’s
Timothy Dolan (pictured below),
the most powerful Cardinal in the United States.
Though Dolan denies he did anything wrong,
critics say that when he learned the Chapter 11
filing in Milwaukee was inevitable, he had
millions of dollars funneled into special
trusts, out of reach of abuse victims and their
lawyers.
|
But Dolan isn’t the only one who may be having
Maalox moments. Lots of current and former
priests
will probably not sleep well tonight,
reports Milwaukee’s Journal-Sentinel:
“Needless to say, there are some terrible
things described in many of the documents,” Archbishop
Jerome Listecki said in his weekly letter to
local Catholics in advance of the
release. To those deciding to read the
files, Listecki advised, “prepare to
be shocked.”
The records will contain parts of 42
priests’ personnel files as well as
depositions of former Archbishop Timothy
Dolan, now cardinal of New York; retired
Archbishop Rembert Weakland; retired Bishop
Richard Sklba; and now-defrocked priest
Daniel Budzynski… The documents are expected
to include… correspondence between the
archdiocese and the Vatican, which has the
final word on defrocking priests; evidence
that the archdiocese under Dolan paid some
priests to accept that decision without
protest; and graphic accounts of
sexual assault of young people.
Listecki’s letter is an odd
mix of straight talk and disingenuous blather.
“Prepare to be shocked” is an example of the
former. As for the latter, he repeats the
strategic canard that the disclosure may do
further damage to the victims’ psyches. The
concern for the beaten and the buggered comes a
little late and would draw a chorus of howls in
a sexual-violence case concerning “civilian”
suspects. Can you imagine a serial rapist à la
Ariel Castro stalling the investigation and
the legal proceedings as much as possible by
arguing that it would hurt his victims if
further details of their ordeal surfaced?
The archdiocese has recently
begun spinning its opening of the records “as
part of our commitment to open and candid
communication,” which sounds lovely until you
realize that the same Catholic authority long
fought the release tooth and nail, again out of
ostensible concern for the victims — more
specifically, for victims’ anonymity.
Survivor groups
aren’t buying it:
“Releasing these documents is not
going to hurt us. The damage has been done.
We can’t suffer any more than we already
have,” said Charles Linneman of
Sugar Grove, Ill. ”I haven’t met one
survivor who wants those documents to stay
sealed.”
Linneman was sexually abused
by a pedophile priest when he was a teenager; in
a rather wonderful twist of fate, he now serves
as chairman of the bankruptcy creditors
committee.
The 42 priest files to be
released by the diocese will pertain to those
whom the Church pretty much knows are
lawbreakers — clergy who were the focus of
“substantiated allegations” of sexual abuse.
They include some of the archdiocese’s
worst sex offenders. Among them: the
late Father Lawrence Murphy, who is believed
to have molested as many as 200 deaf boys,
most during his decades at St. John School
for the Deaf in St. Francis; and
Sigfried Widera, who was facing 42 counts of
child abuse in Wisconsin and
California when he jumped to his death from
a Mexico hotel room in 2003 as authorities
closed in.
And tomorrow’s cache of
documents will most likely show that, once
again, higher-ups in the church moved pedophile
priests from one parish or school to the next —
without disclosing their crimes.
Milwaukee’s archdiocese was
the eighth one domestically to file for Chapter
11 protection. It may or may not survive
financial bankruptcy, but in 24 hours we should
find that its moral bankruptcy is no
longer in question.

TRACING THE FUTURE
Only if
they are really concern of the future they
will give prior interest to the welfare of
the students rather than the putting
themselves ahead of everything else. One is
called educator and the other mistakenly
called educator.
The future
of our country and our generation can be
traced in the classrooms. We would recognize
malnutrition, poverty, parents' background
and the social status of the students if we
want to.
If I put a
question to the Ministry of education as to
the number of students who can't read or
write at Form 5, could we get the answer ?
Honest answer ? How about the number of
Muslim students who can't witness Allah is
the only God and Mohammed is the Messenger
of God, or who can't perform a simple prayer
at Form 5 ? How about students whose fathers
are inmate and the mothers are prostitute ?
Which students peddle drugs ? Which students
are breadwinners for the families ?
Whenever
students from my former school scores
straight As I always asked the school about
their parents economic status and
employment, the number in the family etc.
Some Form teachers knew and some didn't.
The
Ministry of education could categorize the
students and several logical categories.
Bad, good, poor, rich, illiterate, bright
and problems are examples of some of the
headings. Couldn't we predict the projection
of the future crimes, the state of religious
affair and even a threat to national
security ?
And UMNO
educational bureau had never discuss the
future of the Malays base on the current
standing in the classrooms. Did they
ever discuss the students who are not
interested in academic curriculum, students
with emotional problems, what cause the poor
discipline etc ?
Every time
when PMR and SPM results were out the focus
were given to the high achievers. I don't
hear discussions on those who fared badly.
Fighting
crime are steps taken too little and too
late. We could have eliminate it or trim it
down to the bare minimum if we have plan our
education and training system well. PERKASA
and UMNO would not have to worry much about
Malay conversion if they have done the right
job after more than 54 years of nindependent.
How many thousand Muslim students who can't
perform ablution ? Does the MOE knows about
this ?
Teachers
are burden with clerical tasks especially
with the modern system of computerization.
They spent a lot of time in keying marks and
student's information. School Principals did
not support them whenever conflict arises
between the teachers and the parents.
Ministries bombed them with so much dos and
don'ts in relation of disciplining the
students. They then chose to be indifferent.
It turned off their self-motivation to shape
the future of the students.
School
Principals work for their respective
department. The departments work for the
Ministry of Education, mainly to please the
top bosses to be in the good book. What
should have been is that the Ministry, the
State Education department, and Principals
should work for the students, their main
clients.
They ignore
the students because of their selfish
interest. That's the reason they won't be
able to answer the number of deficient
students in reading, religious practices and
the protein-deficient boys and girls. Ask
them again as to the number of potential
criminals and garbage hunters. Those are
within their views, just in front of them.
The future
of the nation and the people is now, not in
5 or 10 years time. PERKASA and UMNO are
running berserk with insanity at what they
have missed for those past decades.

Catholic sex abuse cases
From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia
The Catholic sex abuse
cases are a series of allegations,
investigations, trials and convictions of
child sexual abuse crimes committed by
Catholic priests, nuns and members of
Roman Catholic
orders against children as young as three
years old with the majority between the ages of
11 and 14.[1][2][3]
These cases include
anal and
oral penetration and have resulted in
criminal prosecutions of the abusers and civil
lawsuits against the church's dioceses and
parishes. Many of the cases span several decades
and are brought forward years after the abuse
occurred. Cases have also been brought against
members of the
Catholic hierarchy who did not report sex
abuse allegations to the legal authorities. It
has been shown they deliberately moved sexually
abusive priests to other parishes where the
abuse sometimes continued.[4]
This has led to a number of fraud cases where
the Church has been accused of misleading
victims by deliberately relocating priests
accused of abuse instead of removing them from
their positions.[5]
As recently as 2011 Fr Curtis Wehmeyer was
allowed to work as a priest despite many people
having reported concern about his sexual
compulsion and suspicious behavior with boys.
Wehmeyer was employed as a priest without proper
background checks. Wehmeyer was later convicted
of sexually abusing two boys. After Wehmeyer's
arrest there are complaints the responsible
clergy were more concerned with how to spin the
story in a favorable light than in helping
victims.

MALAYSIAN
MUSLIM CLERICS
Malay Muslim clerics must
check themselves so that they will not be looked
down contemptuously. Lately we have been seeing
religious teachers who came up to defend corrupt
practices and bad politicians.
The most recent is the Mufti
of Perak who said that killing the Turun
protestors are legal in the eyes of the Islam.
He does have to agree with the protestors who
are concern with the rising cost of living. But
he does not have to issue an edict that level
him to the status of Nazi Hitler.
None has reached the
intellectuality of Ahmad Deejat to be well verse
in English, knowledgeable in bibles and other
holly books.
Would they know how to make
use of the Zakat money for the benefit of all
Muslims ? At a time there were commotions about
Zakat's money being used for election campaign.

SCAPEGOAT FOR PRICE HIKE
It is not
surprising when the BN blamed the trader for the price
increase. I knew that will be the excuse, and the
government will send out the enforcement officers to
make price checks, arrest some guys and broadcast loudly
on the TVs.
You know
what will happen next ?
The
government will agree to the new higher price and the
people will pay more.
Did the
government blamed TNB and Plus and other insurance
agencies for the hike ?
From the
traders factor the government will soon change to '
prices are higher everywhere in the world' . That will
not be the end of it. 'We should be thankful to UMNO
that we have food to eat. But there are other countries
money cannot buy food. Nothing grow in the desert.
Africans die of starvation. We don't.'
Those
arguments do not answer the questions of why TNB and
PLUS raised their prices ? Why ASB dividend is lower
than the previous year ?
I am sorry
that I could not halt my criticism on this issue. TV1's
comment blaming price hike solely on the traders, made
me shout how about TNB and PLUS at the poor brainless
TV.
Price
control is not new. Yet it never stopped climbing.
To repent is
to admit the wrong, apologize for the sins and swear
that people come first 'Rakyat didahulukan.'
Bad people
never repent because they fear no God. They think they
can do whatever they like putting themselves at the
level of gods.
Compare what
they say before the election and what they are saying
today. It is not merely flip-flopping but also tongue
twisting.
God made
heaven and hell, for there are people who will be placed
in both. One wish the people can ask from God is to see
these sinners suffering in hell.

DOWN 40 METER INVERTED V UP
I thought I
could complete my work within an hour or so
but it took me longer than that. Measuring

Using a steel tape is much more tougher than

down the old antenna is fast. But hoisting
up was horrible. The wires get entangle with

had to bring down the 20 foot aluminum mast,
cut the hoisting rope. The sun was right on
the top of my head. I was sweating
profusely. Looking for replacement took me
more than half an hour.

went up
30 cents starting from today.
I didn't ask why, just paid as I was told

for my usual breakfast; from RM4.70
to RM5. There is no escape for me
and the
rest, to pay for Rosmah
and
Najib's popularity expenditure
stunt.
There
are many
old retired men like me whose
pensions are fix. Business people can
also
pass
their burdens to others. Government
tax them 10 cents, they
will in
turn raise the price by the same
amount.
Government servants get
their
raise and keep on pressing
for
more pay. The most to suffer are the
low income group.
I
talked to my sick wife about own cooking
to cut cost. But I have to make
preparation for it. There is nothing
left in my kitchen. I need to find help
to set up the stove and the gas. It was
the only choice that I have.
There
is no point barking at the mountain. I
pay more as much as the UMNO goons. The
only different is, I don't like paying
for Rosmah, the rest are happy doing it.
They love Najib. By Jolly !! They love

2014 can be a
nightmare year for a school canteen operator. Comparing
with 2012 the reduction in profit margin is quite
substantial. Those who run a small primary school in a
remote areas would suffer the most.
Mackerel which
used to be RM4 - RM5 a kilo has reached up to RM15, more
than 100%. Every raw stuffs showed significant increase
in prices. To force the canteen operator to sell cheap
food would be a great mental torture.
Government
effort to check prices would not sustain even for a
short period of time. In due course the prices will be
pushed up again. There will be pressure by the business
community on the government to accept the change. The
government will submit to a new but reduced price.
The reduction
in profit margin is further driven by the minimum wage
regulation, The monthly basic expenditure would shrink
the profit.
Many canteen
operators did not pay the rental fee to school. Legal
action had always been very difficult. In the end the
students will suffer. The staffs went out for their
meal.
You have been
monitoring the situation from the national media, which
is trying to show the people that food prices are caused
by the food vendors, nothing to do with GST, toll and
electricity hike. Enforcement officers were busy
harassing sellers. Ministry of education putting the
blame on the school administration.
How long would
it last ? It is just like the cat and mice game.
Teachers and
staffs would be the most and the first to complain about
the prices though in a school canteen we can still eat
with RM3 inclusive of a drink, compare to the minimum
RM5 at the outside stall.
2014 will be a
grim year, full of nightmare for any school canteen
operator, if forced upon to retain 2013 prices.

THEY THINK
THEY ARE GRADUATE, THEY ARE SMART |
5 Billion for
AS UTC ? |
Undeclared
War |
Two men in
particular as I observed behave as if they are the
smartest Malaysians. It is not that they are UMNO that
made me despise them but their words are intolerable. I
dislike opposition members as much as UMNO guys.
UMNO as a
whole has mainly two things in their heads when
encountering the truth. One, to say 'Go out of Malaysia
and live somewhere else'. Two, to say 'In other
countries no price increase ?'. Other phrases 'We are
the best ever', 'Malaysia is Malaysia, other country is
other country.'
It is often
that graduate politicians think their ideas and thinking are
the best and others are wrong. Sabree Chik, in a debate
with Anwar, attacked on Anwar's personality rather than
the gist of the topic. Now he says prices hike here is
normal because in other countries prices go up too. When
a fool fools the public I exercise some tolerance but
when a graduate tries to fool the public, I just can't
stand by and let things go.
People are
asking why the profitable companies like TNB and PLUS
are allowed to increase prices because they can cause
further inflation. Why the government allows insurance
companies increase their premium to unreasonable level ?
What drained out our national coffer ? Who were
accountable for the missing billions in PKZ, PERWAJA and
oter failed projects ? How much were spent on promoting
Najib's popularity ? How much BN spent on flags, bill
boards and giant promising planks before the general
election ? How much were spent on Rosmah's travel and
expenses ?
FLOM, for
instant, has nothing to do with price increase in other
countries. BRM has nothing to do either. But to say
corruption is OK because there are corruptions in other
countries is similar to saying inflation is OK here
because others are experiencing high price as well. And
for graduate politicians to make sweeping statements of
other countries do not parade any intellectuality. No
wonder Malaysia lose Pulau Batu Puteh to Singapore.
For a long
time UMNO were used to have Ministers without even
college education. Good or bad the country didn't
experience economic suffocation or threat of overthrowing
the government. When UMNO began to require graduates the
party had hope for the better leadership who can speak
with rationality backed by facts and data, and aware of
the existing events. Just because we have UMNO's logo in
our head we can say anything we like in any manner ?
If Shahidan
challenged the protestors to debate with him, that night
he should have been at the scene, putting up a flat form
and called any member of the protestors to debate with
him. And it could be telecast live, and let the public
hear whether the topic on subsidy would be mentioned. I
could imagine Shaidan's reply 'Ask our PM...ask our
PM...as mahathir..ask Mahathir...' The big question will
be on wastage, by billions and billions. Of course the
final answer will be 'Go and live in your country of
choice....'
How much does
Shahidan receive in a month and how much a lorry driver
earned ? Ministers won't be affected a small bit.
Mahathir with his mega project too joined the
politicians.
Don't think we
are smart just because we are graduate politicians. Boon
Siew had never even been to high school.
02/01/2014 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
Someone said the newly opened Alor
Setar UTC cost 5 Billion ringgit. It doesn't make sense,
and untill now I choose not to believe it.
If I miss heard 5 million with 5
billions I may believe it with a big wow. It is better
to go to post office to settle my bills. I don't have to
climb ladders and hunt for the respective paying booths.
In fact the government did not have
to spend that huge sum because there are several
unutilized government buildings that can be turned into
the booth. There is a former Day Training Center and
Sekolah Rendah Sultan Abdul Halim.
If it is true that the cost is 5
billions then we do know where the money went to and why
we are asked to pay more for everything. Even the UMNO
goons are paying. That would serve them right.
You see, a lorry driver gets RM200
brim, how much the people involved in the UTC project
get ?
It is not about the price in other
country increases. It is about the lavishness and great
wastage. Today I went to the post office to update my
ASB book, there were many people chose the company to do
their billings and even paying road tax.
A classroom size space can be used by
three agencies. But applying the post-office method and
procedure the same room can house at least 10 counters.
There isn't a need of UTC at all.
I would conclude it is a gimmick to
siphon public fund like many other developmental
projects.
Informed public found it ridiculous
to open up a UTC costing 5 million or 5 billion. For 5
billion it has to involve a group of satans dressed in
human uniform.
Bad government of the world would
last as long as the police and the military support
them. They are smart enough to pay those heads most.
Would it not be a time those officers will choose to
clear the nation from all evil ? Right now they wait
until they retire to show their dislike towards evil
doings, may they be in America or Malaysia.
UMNO veterans except Mahathir is
still supporting the wrongdoings because he has wrested
much from our treasury for his projects. Even the former
press secretary of the late Tun Abdul Razak showed his
dispair on Najib's administration.
02/.01/2014 |
The episode is sad.
Mahathir had wanted mental revolution of the
Malays, to be aggressive rather than docile. Indeed they
had. The movement of the yellow shirts and the recent
Turun black T-Shirts were not solely the non-Malays.
Such show of defiance happened once during the protest
against Malayan Union, and now resurfaced against the
bad practices of the government.
It was not the
opposition party members who called Mahathir Firaun.
Even the UMNO members are using the word gangsters to
call government Minister.
The mind can change
and develop the hatred anger of vengeance like what the
Jews had towards the Nazis, hunting for the murderers
even long after WW2.
Public are not
crazy. They just want to see a clean, responsible and
accountable government. Who can stand the swagger like
Shahrizat who had been maneuvering behind their
professions and qualification to do what they like with
the public funds ? They will bark back with the counter
offensive words thrown at them. There will be people who
see Shahrizat, Mahathir, Ghani Patail and other Mamak
faced politicians as foreigners who are manipulating and
deceiving the Malays. What different does it make
between the British and the Mamak ?
Instead of showing
remorse they further stepped up the spending spree
lavishly hiding the evil deeds from the public.
Walls have ears. Otherwise the public would have not known about the
million ringgit ring, lavish expenditure in Australia,
using the government's jet, the purchase of 110 million
home in Nrw York and the 5 m/b UTC in Alor Setar.
How much the
screening of Tanda Putera could command the obedience of
the Malays ? Judge at the Turun movement, Sungai Limau
by-election and the unending momentum for the clean
government, it could be concluded that Najib is not a
popular figure.
They just won't
repent. That's the way of the evil.
In a way, I would
give some credits to the police, for restraining their
actions on the protestors. Poor actions would drive
the youth towards militancy. Individual acts of
terrorism would be hard to contain.
We don't have
terrorists yet. We must not push for the formation of
one. American armed terrorist would be fatal.
You declare war you
invite for one. The people will appeal to the police and
military to bring down cruel government. There should
not be even the undeclared war. Never ask for one.

DO
YOU KNOW TAN SIEW SIN ? |
VOTE BOOK |
THE SINNERS |
The present
generation may not know Tan Siew Sin nor Tan Chee Khoon
even Ghazali Shafiee. Tan Siew Sin was a finance
Minister during Tunku Abdul Rahman's era. This man, from
Melaka, was not a popular man among the Chinese because
he can't speak Chinese. But he was the most brilliant
finance Minister of all time in Malaysia.
His
prudent spending accumulated so much money making our
national coffer grew bigger and bigger. Tunku was not a
greedy Prime Minister, not tempted by the overflow of
the currencies. He could have thought of projects under
the name of progress and development to siphon out the
national wealth.
What did the
government do with the excess money ? It did not set up
FLOM or financing PM's wife flying a private jet. Tan
Siew Sin created jobs with the money. He never bragged
of the intent to help the citizens.
We forget the
great man like Tan Siew Sin because we think we are
better.
Tun
Tan Siew Sin (Chinese:
陈修信;
pinyin:
Chén Xīuxìn;
Pe̍h-ōe-jī:
Tân Siu-sìn; 21 May 1916– 17 March 1988) was
Malaya's
(later
Malaysia's)
first Minister of Commerce and Industry, Finance
Minister for 15 years, and president of the
Malayan Chinese Association (MCA, later
Malaysian Chinese
Association)
The
only son of Malaysian statesman and MCA founder
Tan Cheng Lock,
Tan Siew Sin was born on 21 May 1916 in
Malacca
and educated at
Malacca High School
in
Malacca[1]
and then at
Raffles College
in
Singapore.
Before then, he went to a Girls School which his
father decided to, that is
Suydaim Girls School
which is now the
Methodist High School.
In
1935, he felt ill and was diagnosed as having
tuberculosis.
He fully recovered after an operation in
Switzerland
for treatment. Three years later, he moved on to
his higher education in the field of law in
England
and graduated with First Class Honour at the
Middle Temple,
one of the four
inns of court
in
London.
Tan
Siew Sin took over as president of the MCA in
November 1961, and became Minister of Finance
from 1959-1974 . He held on to both positions
until retiring for health reasons on 8 April
1974. After resignation he became an advisor to
the government on economic issues.
|
I remember
listening to his budget speech for hours. There was no
TV yet then. I was amazed that he knew so much things;
about illegal money in circulations and under ground
activities. I was still young and still schooling yet I
already appreciated him.
I can see two
distinct kind of leaders now; the prudent spender and
the lavish spender. One went all out to help the
citizens the other went all out to help himself.
01/01/2014 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
What is a vote book ? A vote
book is a cash book where receipts and payments are
recorded for accounting purposes.
Government departments keep the book,
not only for recording purposes but to guide the
department on spending. The book shows the real balance
of money in our account.
Let me give you a brief sample. If
you have RM1000 in your account, it will be stated at
the top of the page. Then you decide to make an order
from a shop of goods costing RM100. You record the order
and already minus from the original amount even though
the goods have not arrived. I called it a commitment.
When the goods arrive and recorded in the stock book,
the payment record is made. By the column usage the
balance would remain RM900.
Managers are to see the balance
before deciding for a purchase. He should not buy if the
amount is less than the price. If the goods are so
essential he has to seek permission for virement or
applied for aditional grant.
Any person who spend money without
referring to the cash balance is not fit at all to be
the administrator.
A responsible person will act
responsibly. If he isn't then he is not responsible and
the term given is irresponsible person. It is a
degrading term.
Only a person who think he is a god
will do anything in the world as he likes with whoever
money within the gaps, and threaten people using the
power invested in him, pointing a warning fingers at
others.
We must know that selling a country
to another is a treason, selling nation's assets to
foreigners are treason too. No one should escape such a
treacherous act. We don't spend all our money then sell
our land to foreigners.
Patriots must take note and observe
such a wild act. Administrators must spend within the
limit.

The sinners
are now paying for their sins. Prior to GE13 I posted
several remarks on what would befell upon those crazy
supporters for UMNO. Voting a party is one, becoming a
crazy supporter is another. Throwing stones and shoes at
opposition leaders in mosque were too much. Putting on
T-Shirt 'I Love Najib' had never happened in Malaysian
history.
The sinners
love to pay more for the cost of living. That was their
wish. Come GST and TNB and toll hike their eyes will
start to open. JKK will be ordered to host feasts and
kenduris by Putrajaya to appease the members. They will
be informed of the situations in other countries saying
life in those places are worst off. High price is better
than the Chinese and the Christian rules. The stupid
sinners submitted and continue to pay.
Government
will blame the business communities for profiteering and
put people in difficulties. Again they will fall to the
satanic deceit. They will go out to protest against the
Chinese. The government claimed there are hoardings.
Prices will
stay foot. The sinners will continue to pay. Insurance
will go up to follow the trend.
Come GE14,
UMNO will blame inflation on the opposition, will make
another promises 'vote BN prices will be down', and the
stupid guys will vote for BN again.
In the
meantime the police and military retirees are struggling
to make ends meet. Rosmah will enjoy the luxury of life.
Shahrizat enjoys the acquired wealth.
Let me tell
you something that you may not believe. If all the
Chinese leave this country, the government will
immediately fall. They don't have the scapegoat to
blame. The economy would plunge at 32 feet per second
square, dropped hard. and dropped dead.
While waiting
for GE14, let them suffer.

In this world men are ignorance to a specie worse than a
Satan and wilder than the worst beast. It sucks your
blood and dry your bones. With a grinning teeth they
tell you to be thankful to them. They have no pity and
enjoy seeing people in pain.
Who are they ? These are people called 'lebih bubur dari
sudu'. They are the power behind the Prime Minister.
Observe well and you will know who they are.
What do they do with the money they squeeze from you ?
They gave back to some of you, asking for your vote in exchange for
the gift. They buy popularity, engage consultants,
giving to cronies and friends, and God knows what else
they spent on. They are despicable.
The broken promises are being replaced with brainwashing
your minds. National media is trying hard to convince
you that government actions are good for everyone,
deceiving you left and right.
But among you there are good people. Below is one
article writen by Muzliza Mustaffa for your perusal. |
2013
A YEAR OF DECEPTION
Tanya Ustaz Qazim Al-Hafidz
yang giat berkempen dalam pilihanraya Sungai Limau dan
berdakwah di RTM setiap masa, apakah hukumnya berdusta
dan mungkir
janji dan membelit-belitkan kata-kata ? Tidakkah Ustaz
mendengar janji-janji dan kata-kata yang berbelit liku ?
Tidak ustaz membaca janji-janji di papan janji gergasi
uang berjuta-juta ringgit yang dipaparkan di sepanjang
lebuh raya sebelum pilihanraya ?

2014 A YEAR OF PAYMENT
Minyak naik 20 sen bising, dapat BRM tak bising, naik
gaji tak bising. Berapa peratus rakyat Malaysia bekerja
dengan kerajaan dan naik gaji berganda-ganda sehingga
lupa pada masyarakat mathaen ? Minyak naik 20 sen,
rakyat bayar 20 sen lebih ? Tanya diri
sendiri berapa banyak belanja tambahan sesudah minyak
naik ; 20 sen ? Sebelum 2014 kenaikan sudahpun
menjangkau 100%. .Pemandu lori gembira dapat RM200 dan
undi BN. Kemudian mengeluh menyambut tahun baru, RM200
macam sampah bila beli persediaan anak-anak sekolah.
2014 cekiklah kamu. Budak-budak yang mengkibar bendera
BN dengan motosikal, kali ini akan telan balik hasil
tanaman mereka. Bayar lebih. Bukan bayar sikit. NIlai
pendapatan sudah jatuh di sekitar 50%. Lantaklah anda. |
BOMBING
DURING PRICE HIKE PROTEST ? |
HOW
TO AVOID PROBLEMS |
The police
should arrest the bloggers and those who lodge reports
about the bombing during the price protest. Usually
those who plan the bombing will accuse others so their
actions will be blamed on others. The term is called
False Flag. The world trade center was proven to be the
False Flag too.
If people
have a desire to throw bombs, they don't wait for the
procession. They will continue the bombing spree at any
time at any target as what the IRA did. And no one got
caught.
Who
actually owns bomb other than the police and the army ?
Even weapons carried by criminals were suspected from
the missing ones as reported by the AG. You can imagine
if people are in possession of bombs, what they will do
with them.
If there is
some explosion during the protest it will have to be the
False Flag. And we know bombs could be implanted to
arrest a person. The dirty job is well known throughout
the world.
Those
laymen who own bombs are terrorists. Organized
terrorists have plans and targets. They would move
quietly and unsuspectingly. No sensible person will side
or support them.
Smart
people do not forget a series of election promises, and
jargons used by BN and Najib, about prices, taxes and
housing. Those promises are quickly broken and media are
used to justify the false promises, and religious
figures are paid to influence the people.
The
political maneuver is dragging the country down into
savageness and incivility. It disgraced Islam and the
Malays.
As the
people are sufferings the politicians are increasing
their salaries, BN and BA alike, Najib and Rosmah will
continue with the lavish spending. Either they are not
out of their cocoon or simply indifferent towards public
mental agony. And including those who will suffer are
the police and the army and many other government
servants. They will suffer more when they retire. Their
kids may even involve in drugs. A retired policeman had
told me some years ago, "Look, Man. Now I am selling
nasi lemak to finance my kid in college education. I am
poor and sick. This is what I get after my long service
to the government."
We can die
for our country but should we die for a lavish and
despotic leader ? We are ever willing to fight and die
for the beloved nation, but should we die for rogue
politicians from whatever party ?
Any
opposition to the rise in the cost of living is the
opposition by the people and for the people. It does not
come from terrorists or any bomber. Bad government will
be brought down but not by protestors.
30/12/2013 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
Ministers should
mind their ministerial post, look into the jobs and the
nature of of the work, rather than left the jobs to the
subordinates to manage them while he spend his time
somewhere else like running a business. And at the same
time they must know their limits. They are not God or
gods. The behavioral pattern would change once someone
thinks that he is a God. He will say what he likes and
does what he wants.
Knowledge and
reading help, opened up the minds to see relationships,
able to forecast base on the past and the current trend,
understanding of the causal effect. Otherwise his
trusted subordinates will command him and control his
thought.
The consultations
with the subordinates based on brainstorming and sincere
argument is always better than a one way traffic without
pros and cons.
And the most
important in decision making is MONEY. If they go
against the maxim that Money Is Decision Making
then they will be inviting for trouble and start to
create problems. No government can print money as much
as she wants to create wealth. Every spending made must
first look into the coffers.
The specialty of
Mahathir was privatization. The specialty of Najib is
spending without looking at the source. Some people
called Najib generous others called him lavish. But even
without any Prime Ministers some departments incurs huge
wastage through corruption and setting expensive prices.
A hundred ringgit door was purchased at four hundred
ringgit. Ministers must see that no such wastage should
take place. And Najib should not simply spend to win
popularity. No Prime Minister of Malaysia ever paid huge
sum for
that purpose. If people decide to vote for BN, they will
even without any gift or promise.
If they make decisions
without first referring to the coffers, giving away
millions on the spot, soon enough they will dry up the
treasury. People mentioned FLOM and BRM.
Wastage in PKZ,
mega projects, payment to cronies for nothing projects,
Perwaja Steel and tons of others were made worst by
Najib's generosity.
Government has no
choice but to get the money from the people by force. It
was due to the problem created. And more problems are
coming in.
Both, the head of
departments and the generous ministers started the way
to rope people's heads. If Lim was found not guilty in
causing the great lost of PKZ then the officers did. Lim
was certainly was very negligent. The government allows
wastage owing to it's inefficiencies.
Money lost under
a Ministry is the responsibility of the Minister
himself. The normal government servant would be slapped
with accountability factor and charged for his
negligence, yet a Minister can go scot free. And one in
particular unashamedly yell back at the general public.
Chaotic
situations is hard to describe within a short space. At
the bottom there were bad and inefficient civil
servants, and the top there were Ministers who were keen
on something else rather than in their jobs, and those
who think they are gods or God.
To avoid the
problems either the whole setup be thrown out or the
people managing them should be changed. Would the right
to hire and fire be introduced to deal with bad officers
?

BAD HABITS ARE NOT RELIGIOUS
An essay by
Muhammad Arshad, Religious without religion, seems to
imply that corruption in Muslim countries like Indonesia
and Malaysia is high as compared to the non-Muslim
countries. He based his remarks on the report made by
Transparency International.
In fact it is
difficult to make generalization on religion-corruption
relationship, for this evil happens everywhere. It is
rampant in the United States, China and the rest of
world as in Malaysia and Indonesia. Jeb Bush won several
contracts under Bush administration. And there were
hanky panky during American Presidential Election. And
in Communist China and North Korea top brass leaders
were persecuted for the same offence.
Arshad
pointed out the cleanliness in Japan and European
countries as compared to the Muslim countries. Again
this is not a factor of religion. I saw dirty spots in
China and America as much as clean environment in these
countries.
Attitudes
play very important role in determining cleanliness,
education, technological progress and other cultural
matters. A society can shape the attitudes of the
community dwellers. The Malaysian Malays are trained to
obey and not to think by themselves. Schools are
teaching rather than educating. Leaders show bad
examples.
Bad attitudes
can be in anyone, any race and creed. You won't be safe
in Malaysia, America, United Kingdom, China and even
Japan. Najib spent millions to get elected. Obama spent
$684 millions to get elected. While Obama would not be
seen by the Transparency International, others will.
Korean leader went to jail for the same practice.
To inculcate
good attitudes and habits stringent laws could be
deployed. From the words of law and enforcement, it
creates fear. From fear it creates habits. From habits
it bores positive attitudes. After several years people
behave as guided by habits and attitudes, no more by the
fear of repression.
We read about
a taxi driver in United States who found USD$300,000 in
his car and returned the money to the owner recently.
Ask the Malaysians whether they would do the same. I
believe some will do. Many would enjoy with the money.
Ask ourselves what guides the behaviors of those people.
Strong
discipline is what required to keep the city clean, and
the people reject gifts and corruptions. A country of
bad leaders will not produce responsible and trustworthy
citizens.

ADAKAH
MEREKA ITU MANUSIA ? |
Aku tidak boleh
memikirkan mengapa manusia beriya-iya menyokong kenaikan
harga barang, letrik, toll, cukai dan lain-lain
keperluan hidup. Malahan sanggup melakukan apa saja
untuk menyekat sebarang rasa tidak puas hati terhadap
penambahan kesempitan hidup. Mengapa ada manusia yang
jahat dan bodoh seperti itu ?
Makhluk yang
dinamakan manusia tidak dimakan upah untuk menganiayai
manusia lain, tidak sanggup menggadaikan bangsa dan
maruah, malahan negara sendiri. Apabila tergadai tanah
tanih dan harta benda, maka mereka melontar tuduhan
terhadap orang lain.
Bayangkan betapa
anihnya kerajaan yang menyokong syarikat yang membuat
untung berbillion ringgit bagi nenaikkan tarif elektrik
dan tol.Hari ini sebelum tahun baru, harga barangan
sudahpun naik mendadak sehingga ada yang mencecah 100%.
Kalau ada lagi
manusia yang menyokongnya tidakkah ianya satu-satu yang
benar-nebar jahat ?
Binatang adalah
ganas tetapi ada lagi yang lebih ganas dari binatang.
Syaitan itu jahat tetapi ada lgi yang lebih jahat dari
Syaitan. Makhluk Allah ini adalah satu specie yang
menyokong kenaikan kos sara hidup sepenuh-penuhnya.
Inilah
bunga-bunga Juj Makjuj. Anda tidak perlu tunggu masa
keluarnya makhluk itu di dunia ini. Mereka berada di
sekeliling anda dengan rupa paras manusia.
Bukalah mata dan perhatikan mereka.
Pada satu ketika
berjumpa saya dengan seorang tua yang saya kira sudah
meninggal. Katanya,"Ada dua bangsa di dunia yang
dilaknati Allah." Hairan saya mendengarnya dan terus
menanyanya siapakah bangsa-bangsa itu. "Yahudi dan
Melayu. Yahudi keranakezaliman dan kejahatan, Melayu
kerana mengundi orang yang menipu dan membohongi mereka.
Mereka sedar akan penipuan dan rasa marah. Bila dipijuk
mereka lupa sebentar dan mengundinya. Kemudian mereka
ditipu dan dibohongi lagi. Mereka naik marah pula.
Sekali lagi dipujuk, mereka undi semua. Ini berlaku
berulang-ulang kali."
Sukar dipercayai.
Tetapi kata-kata itu tidak dapat dilupai. Itulah
sebenarnya Melayu yang dipandang hina oleh bangsa-bangsa
lain. Yang bodoh itu bodoh. Yang lebih jahat dari
Syaitan dan lebih ganas dari binatang itu, tidak ada
kata-kata untuk menggambarkannya.
Apa yang anda
alami sekarang adalah hasil dari 50+ pemerintahan UMNO.
Sebarang rasa ketidakpuasan hati PERKASA adalah
juga hasil yang sama. Bukalah mata dan renung-renungilah.

EFFORT TO KILL
CASTRO |
IT IS NOT OF
OUR CONCERN |
The modern
America does not want to kill Castro anymore. The story
of the young president were full of events particularly
in the effort to kill him. Cuba was a small country then
and USA was a strong and powerful nation. America could
have walked over the small nation state, instead of
killing Castro.
There is always
a different between a government and the head of the
government. A government becomes stink if the head is
stinking. To kill the head is much easier and using
lesser effort and resources then overthrowing a
government.
A leader could
easily be executed if the people really want him killed.
There is less effort needed however tricky he is and his
security protection. Castro lived just because of luck
as if he was protected by some unseen magical creatures.
And if his own people did not love him he would have
died.
A big majority
of Malayan Malays have not known how to topple the
government. PAS says 'PAS is not a new party. We have
been competing in a very clean way. We fell yet we
continue to fight. We never use any dubious mean to
topple the government.' The worst of a treason by the
Malays was going against the King and the Resident.
Jebat threatened to kill the King. Sultan Mahmud was
killed over his cruelty. And Birch was murdered.
Even today,
when I talked of Rosmah and Najib, the angry Malays only
say, "We have God. We appeal to God in our prayer." But
no common men could stand the increasing cost of living
and Najib's support of profitable agencies like the TNB
and PLUS. They have to let the world hear their grouses
and chose to protest. That's the full stop.
I remember
listening to many people who had wished for Mahathir's
sudden death during his demonic administration. And how
many are wishing for some UMNO and PERKASA leaders to be
strike by lightning. Though getting rid of bad leaders
are easier than toppling the government, no one
embraces the idea of violence and militancy. The Chinese
deployed the psychological approach to deal with stern
and tough Mahathir on many matters and won many
policies that favored them.
It would be
folly for anyone to think of toppling a government, how
despotic the rulers are. The government is aware of it
as well, but more concerned on the attack on individuals
rather than the government. That's the reason why Rosmah
was not put on the commercial jetliner for fear of any
attack on her. We say it is an absurd imagination. The
government simply didn't want to take chances,
recognizing it is easier to kill individuals rather than
toppling the whole administration..
For the same reason the old US
administration prefer Castro's death rather than a
direct conquest of Cuba.
The Malays won't do both no matter
how mad they were. They prefer to seek for God's help,
calling God to show the right path to amend the bad
leaders. Now we began to hear Mahathir criticizing the
lavish expenditure and the climbing cost of living.

Why should we be
so concerned as to who does what with his money ? We can
be sure the money for the New York Penthouse does not
belong to the Rakyat. If it is not from the rakyat, and
not stolen, where does it come from ? Again that is not
ours to concern.
As a curious
creature we tend to start thinking about the source of
money. Some may think it comes from buisiness and others
may think from a gift. It can even come from gambling
table. A lot of people are talking about Rosmah having
big companies. I wouldn't know where they plucked the
information from. A talk like that was strongly
condemned by Ustaz Qazim.
Whatever the
sources were, it does not concern us. The Malays are
happy seeing another Malay can afford a very expensive
place, like the success of Shahrizat's family running a
cow-condo business. Doesn't that prove the Malays are
capable and wealthy ?
After all Riza
Shahriz is not Najib's son. Najib is too busy with
politics to take care of his step children. He has his
own.
What would you do having that kind
of money ? I don't need a hundred million. I only need
RM500,000. Shahrizat's family get RM250 millions !!! The
penthouse is only RM100 millions. Wish them luck and
happiness. As for us we can help UMNO by paying more for
taxes and other commodities.

I am done
with X-Code stuff in my blog. I will be exploring it
quietly with a slow increment. Just now I experimented a

simple but interesting. It is an image viewing that will

BRACE FOR
HIGHER PRICES

How
not to enjoy my learning how to program the iPhone
despite my hard crawling with my utmost patient when I
see fascinating results. Thanks to those who are
generous enough to share their knowledge with others,
writing tutorials and guidance to help enthusiasts like
me.

SELF-TAUGHT IS
TOUGH
Pious
people did remind me of finding a teacher to learn
something. I feel self-taught is really hard as compared
to teaching by a teacher, who will choose the best way
to make difficult and abstract things look simple. Time
will not be wasted.
I
taught myself many things, from learning for my Higher
School Certificate to learning Morse codes and computer
languages and programming.
Most
X-Codes tutorials from websites assume you have some
basic programming languages like C or Java, and you
already understand several concepts like class and file
ended with dot h and dot m. Different tutorials used
different approaches. Exploring helps but won't make you
an expert and it will take a long time to master.
The
Muslims are required to learn the Holly book and other
religious matter through a teacher, and teachers are to
be respected at all time.
I
learned CW at the age of 20 plus. My proficiency takes
more than 40 years later. I learned programming alone
and until today I don't have any skill and still blind
in JAVA, C and many others including the current X-Code.
It is
imperative one has to organize oneself in order to
acquire skill and knowledge through self-taught. A
system and plan have to be drawn, the time table, the
logging so that one can know where to pick up after a
break and other administrative procedures. In short one
has to have a high degree of discipline.
Today
knowledge acquisition involve money. To find someone to
teach also required it.

Puting
on codes on the iphone programming may have to come
later. Tonight I just play around with the given
objects. There are several of them and I think there are
more in the library.
I hope I
won't go to 70 to be able to produce one iPhone program
that may be useful for some people.
I know
that to publish a program costs about RM300. I don't
think about that at all. It is good enough Apple gives
free X-Code.
I
believe people have developed all programs that people
need to develop on the iPhone. What it means any program
that I may be developing in a few years time will not be
anything new.
I have
been very curios about the iphone programming from the
beginning. At least now I know how it is done. It gives
me satisfaction. My Macbook has been worth my money. I
love it. The time will come when I will totally say good
by to Windows which are torturing many people by the
Malware and all sort of viruses. I wish myself luck.

CAN YOU RUN
VISUAL BASIC EXE ON MAC ?
Can
you run VB executable on Mac OS ? The answer is yes if
you install wine in your Mac. I tried putting all the
available generic control on the form, compiled it and
had it run on Mac. All work well with one exception. I
can't bind data from in MDB or DBF. If I can bind the
data I will be able to run my radio logbook on my Mac
and Windows.
What I need to experiment is to use my VB to open up
MySQL file in the remote server. Right now I run my
logbook using asp. Logging is elementary for me for I
can do it with my iPhone, Acer laptop and Macbook.

XCODE |
I have
no other way but to learn X-Code. Recalling the reason
for my purchasing of Macbook was to develop soft ware
for the iPhone. Then I stopped after finding I have to
start from the beginning. It won't be any issue if I
were 30 years younger. At my dawn what reasonable
benefit will I get, even if I can master the X-Code
coding.
My
remaining activities are hamming where I need to run my
logbook and listening to Morse codes. I have developed
visual basic programs for both. But I can't run them on
Macbook despite my using Wine.
While
waiting for VB for Mac to be produced I might as well
start learning this programming language again patiently
and slowly.
Another alternative is Real Studio. I think it is almost
near to Visual Basic. But it is difficult to get the
Activation Code even on the trial version.
Soft
ware prices are considered reasonable though many are
darn cheap. But I can't even purchase the US$0.99 cent.
I can't have a credit card. The bank won't give to
retired unemployed people.
X-Code
need to be paid too but not at the time we are learning.
Once I obtain sufficient competency I will think the way
I can make my payment. Surely writing codes for an
iphone would be interesting.
I hope
my mind can still go, moving like a turtle. It may take
years.

LENDING CALL SIGN |
IT AIN'T
STRANGE
During the eyeball session with 9M2MGL,
Azman, we both tried the WebSdr.org. Mine
worked first. CW sounds came out of my
iPhone4. Azman quickly commented ," That's a
contest." Indeed it was. "How do you know it
is a contest ?" I asked. He replied the word
TEST. TEST was sent at a very high speed.
What actually happened was Azman did not
combine characters of the alphabets. He
recognize the sound of the word TEST.
You see, the more words we constantly and
repeatedly hear the more will we got
accustomed with words recognition. SWLing on
CW frequencies would help a lot. And with
the websdr.org we can get plenty of CW
stations tp practice with. |
STRONGER UMNO WEAKER MALAYS
UMNO is opening branches throughout
Malaysia to amass support and at the
same time is spreading lies about the
opposition. The program no doubt will
strengthen the party. The strong support
will result in less opposition.
This will create greater opportunity for
further plundering of the Malay land and
properties. The Malays will be coaxed to
say YES in every rising cost of living,
in every poor policy that will weaken
their competitiveness. You should know
by now that even the halal products are
not controlled and not dominated by the
Malays.
The stronger the party is the more the
wastage will be. Cronies will get richer
at the expanse of the rakyat.
You must not be blind to know and see
what UMNO has done since independent.
23/12/2013 |

Tengku
Razaleigh Hamzah is an UMNO man. So are many other UMNO
veterans who do not express well on Malay matters. They
are telling the people that UMNO has failed the Malays.
Look what he says about the them.

Lending
call sign means a licensee allows another to use his
call sign. This can go on for a year or more. If this
happen on VHF it can also happen to HF. All we know one
call sign will be used by 5 or six persons including the
wife and other siblings.
Why it
matters ?
Once
foreign stations start to recognize and identify such a
station there will be talk among themselves and that
would embarrass the whole nation. How do we perceive the
Indonesian authority with the numerous pirates on the
ham band and the constant tuning of a person called 'ONE
TWO' ?
Bad habits hard to go. Liars
will always lie. Law breakers will always break law. You
can't tell that they are wrong. They will get fumed
by it.
I also heard the single person
using several call signs by the voice and style
recognition. This one didn't come from Malaysia.
The more
you do the SWLing, the more you will learn about people.
When I was asked what I learned in Ham Radio my answer
was I learn about human behaviors. Which are the
discipline and non-discipline group. And to what extend
they can tarnish the the good name of then once a great
hobby.
MCMC must take interest to
monitor the band and put some effort to trace rogue hams
and people who flout with the regulation and did not
respect the international amateur radio practices. The
authority must also anticipate such happenings as it had
happened before. The TIDAK APA attitude would bring
greater damage that will be beyond repair. What's
happening in immigration and custom departments must not
happen in the MCMC.
Stern actions must be taken
against those who lend their call signs and championing
the pirates.

LISTENING TO
NAJIB |
NAJIB LOVES YOU |
WHEN I FELL SICK |
Have you
been listening to Najib's speech before and after the
election ? Did you observe his countenance and listen
well to his promises ? He was trying to convince the
masses of his sincerity, honesty and truly will make a
better Malaysia.
Today he
is playing with words to justify the hike in prices. In
as much I try my best to show a great respect for our
Prime Minister, I could not control my emotion but to
recall the promises and all the slogans made by BN
before GE13. Comparing with what he is saying now, I saw
them as twisters.
We are
now paying much more than before by some 100% in some
commodities and food. I paid RM54 for a fish and RM10
for a crab. The fish was only RM10-RM15 before. And land
grab goes like nobody's business, destroying the
agriculture land and hill top. He sold our country's
assets as reported by the World Bank.
If it is
true that Pulau Batu Puteh was sold to Singapore then
somebody in his government is doing an act of treason.
The
Malays who adored UMNO are committing suicide and
digging graves for themselves. I was talking of
the bleak future of our generations and of the
population. But it does not wait for the next 10 years.
It is already here and now. Those who threw stones at
their opponents are enjoying higher living cost. Serve
them right.
And Najib
will cool the morons down again by another promise, and
they will further submit themselves to UMNO's whipping.
A big
number of UMNO members are not well educated. They have
short vision. They only see what's around them. It is a
waste of time telling them that Najib is pulling down
the country down into the economic dungeon. Nobody question about
the mega projects given to Mahathir and the current
financial status relating to them.
When they
saw the money they forget the world.
Let them
feel the catapulted inflation, taste it, embrace it and
kiss it. Print more I Love Najib T-shirts and
wear them every day.
21/12/2013 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
Najib loves you and
he is your savor. But he doesn't feel a pinch of the
rapidly increasing cost of living. And those who put him
there are made to suffer by his spending spree, digging
and digging the national coffer until none left.
The attack on his
and his wife lavishness is indeed prudent. It is nothing
more than for the sake of the well being of our nation.
And those in parliament who say nothing about the
disaster are equally sinful. They talk and talk and talk
with tons and tons of words, spell bounding the
listeners. Not a word of it halt the evil spiral and
quick inflation. It is not pending. It is already on the
rise, right now.
A few thousands to
most of us is a lot. A hundred thousand is colossal. A
500 ringgit is gigantic. But 10 or 20 millions to those
up there is nothing. The mistaken diamond ring only cost
millions.
The young Malays
rode motorbikes, carrying BN blue flags, shouting and
yelling they love Najib. Najib loves them too. He made
them pay much much more higher price than before.
BN is working hard
to make the Malays forget about the rising cost of
living, insolently cheating the poor Malays to the
grave, continuing using racial sentiment to make them
forget their hardship.
People blamed
PEMANDU. They blamed Najib's advisors. The first and
foremost to take the blame is Mahathir. Second, the most
important, are the supporters. Yet the same people are
grumbling about the high cost of living, which they
themselves created.

Whenever I felt sick I leave it to
God to take care of it. I know there is something wrong in my body, feeling
pain in my stomach and at the end of my buttock. I just
have to bear them. Going to hospital is always a risk of being
detained. If hospitalized no one would attend my ailing
wife.
My wife is almost totally disabled. I
have to nurse her vowel, carried her to dinner table
using the wheel chair and transport her to the dialysis
center. Her large body made the work extremely
difficult.
Once in a year at least I suffered
from flu and high fever. My body was weak. There was
nobody to help me with the chores. So I had to do by
myself. The task had been hard.
I have been telling my wife that I
could not be sick. I would die fisrt before her and if I
did God will look after her. I gave her a phone to use
in case of my sudden death in my sleep or dropped in my
bathroom. She didn't know or didn't want to use it.
Somehow the phone went missing.
She would have to bear the worst if
such incident takes place.
Getting a maid is very expensive. I
have finished more than 10K hiring one last time and she
went back to Indonesia after only 8 months. I won't want
another. I have to leave it to fate.

SWL...SWAL...SWTL |
HAPPY OR SAD WITH
PMR RESULT ? |
PRICE INCREASE -
SOME UP TO 100% |
Big and
brilliant thinkers can be found in Malaysia. Malaysia
amateur radio lead the world in many things. We are the
only country that legalize repeaters to allow
non-licensees to come on without apparatus assignment,
said that 2 meter transmission could break through 7 MHZ
because of the band condition and expert in coining
creative terms in ham radio.
Old hams
were not creative enough. They used the term SWL to
listen and log all sort of stations, including the
beacons. Some love to hear foreign broadcasting stations
on medium wave. There were some fun in sending reports
to BBC, VOA, Radio India and others, for in return they
got calendars, books, other souvenirs and even T-Shirt.
The
creativity of the newer hams are superb. I used to hear
a station broadcasting science topics on VHF daily to
educated the people. I think you won't find this in the
rest of the world.
SWTL is
Short Wave Transmitting Listener. These people are heard
on national repeater and the authority keeps quite about
it. The MCMC was doing a splendid job. Again, this is
not heard of in the other part of the world.
The
current discussion on the Facebook is about SWAL ( Short
Wave Amateur Listener).
Malaysia
could boast to the world of it's greatness. Malaysian
hams could teach the rest of the world about new terms
and new system. One of the greatest inventions is the 'CQ
Ragchew...CQ Ragchew..CQ Ragchew..'. After being hams
for more than 40 years this is the first time CQ Ragchew
is being used and made in Malaysia.
I don't
know what more are coming up ? Whatever they are, they
will be some great and fantastic things. We should be
proud that Malaysians are very highly sophisticated and
intelligent.
All the
best.
20/12/2013 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
Real observation had been made to
see whether there was any positive correlation between
PMR and SPM result. I kept records of PMR results in my
database, of students entering my school when I was
working. And I kept on telling the students that nobody
was stupid and the PMR result would not fail anyone in
MCE with a little mental transformation. "Success," I
told the teahers, "is when we can turn the potential
failures to passes. That's the real achievement."
I provoked and challenged the weak
students, and warned those high PMR achievers of the
danger of over confident.
From 1990 onwards the first
graders were more than the failures, second and third
grader combined. There were some interesting findings
over several years of observations.
a handful who were good in PMR
were also excellent in SPM. A few good ones dropped to
second grade. More than 10%, categorized as useless for
poor performance in PMR, obtained grade one with good
agregate. And the mediocre improved a great deal, either
they were first grader of obtained second grades.
Parents should not feel sad if
their kids did not perform well. All the kids need to do
is to re-oriented their minds, putting in strong
determination to learn. And of course the teachers need
to apply a very effective methods to turn the stones
into precious ornaments.
On the other hand bright students
are assured to fail if they start to neglect their
studies, and too over confident.
I would consider myself an
authority because of the result of long observation.
Failing is not the end of the world, passing does not
guarantee success in life.

Profitable enterprise like TNB and
Highway concessionaries are also hiking up their prices.
Najib supports them and start to cheat the citizens
again by the rhetoric of words. A 2% price increase
could be acceptable but 100% or more is just very
absurd.
High income group may not be bothered
by the quick rise in price. But millions are suffering.
Then Najib comes with the magic project to blindfold the
masses, showing a pity face on the TV.
Rakyat didahulukan. Kami mendengar
keluhan rakyat. What more can we gather during the
last GE13 promises ?
If it was the Malays who put UMNO in
power then they must be the most stupid lot in the
world. They throw themselves to be whipped over and over
again. They defended the government all out for the
increased gasoline price and again willing to die for
the GST.
Is it the punishment for not
supporting UMNO ? Ironically it is the reward for the
low and middle income UMNO supporters for being stupid
of wanting to pay more for everything. On many items
100% more. And during the last UMNO
general meeting, they were yelling something else ? What
a joke. After returning from the meeting the kampong
folks were still wearing red, and went to shop to pay
more, grumbling at the price increase.
I found it very hilarious when a group of men and women
wearing T-Shirts with a picture of Najib - I Love Najib.
We have had Prime Ministers before Najib, nobody wore
such a T-Shirt. And the same people are payong more. Those with high
salaries do not think about the hardship of the masses.
They do all things to put people in difficulties; lying,
threatening and cheating. What is Malay unity for ? A
freeway to cheat and suppress the masses.

CIKGU,
HELP MY SON |
Quantum
Philosophy or Science ? |
|
PMR has
just been announced. Parents celebrate their
kid's excellent achievements. Getting straight As were
great jubilance. I obtained only one A when I sat for LCE in 1963.
Kids are getting smarter today.
Children of
my two friends also scored all As. At my student's house
a parent came with her son who fared quite badly in the
same exam. She knew that I worked at vocational school
before. "Cikgu, help my son to get into vocational
school," she said after showing me his son's result.
I am nobody
now. I can't even advise anyone anymore. Vocational
education system has changed. It doesn't cater for
dropouts or low achievers anymore. I rang up the school
inquiring about the minimum requirement and the type of
courses offered. "Your son is not qualified," I told the
woman. "He has to continue in the same school."
I observe a
morose countenance in the mother who said his son is not
interested and would not be able to learn academic
subjects.
There are
thousand other disappointed parents who cannot turn to
vocational school anymore. Their hope shattered.
My
disappointment and frustration is greater. Government
promoted the wrong people to make the wrong policy for
the people. I had heard stories of threatening and
warning on the subordinates who showed opposing views.
I had talk
of education in relation to society and social issues.
Educationists should understand about the source of
crimes and where it could have have started. Children
living in flats do not seem to do well, for instant.
Young people who hated school system could end up in
criminal activities.
If
educations only give priorities to high achievers and
ignore the less than mediocre it would result in the
breeding of criminals and joblessness in the country.
Poor family
will have to follow the path laid out by the government.
Wealthy people can afford to choose private institutions
like International school or professional colleges to
avoid further disaster to their children.
That is
without the PBS yet which will be very disastrous
especially to the Malays. And we are paying millions for
the disastrous and fatal policy. Is your son OK in his
PMR ?
19/12/2013 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
Is it not funny for quantum science
to discuss what was once heatedly debated among the
Christians and is still a living awareness among the
Muslims ?
It is about man's free choice and
predestination or fate. When I sat for my MCE exam in
965 there was a question on such a subject in the
religious paper.
Happenings on a man is either
pre-determined by God or the choice of the man. In
quantum science the topic is Determination vs Free Will.
The more you look at quantum the more
you will think, it is a philosophy closely linked to
religion and God, whereas the traditional sciences
altogether dismissed God, super-natural and religion.
The position of religious belief
depends on the battle between traditional thought and
the quantum. How could science be talking of fate and
determination ?
Puzzle began when observations were
made on atoms and electrons behavior that do not make
sense. How could an atom behave differently when it is
seen and not seen ? How could things be at different
places at the same time ? How could something could be a
wave and matter at the same time ?
Today many predictions are base on
trend and causal effect stuff. And even in writing
computer programs we follow the same argument of IF and
THEN. But quantum does not assure the projected result
for a certain cause. The result can be anything.
The question of whether quantum a
philosophy or science is pertinent and interesting. You
don't need a university degree to learn more about it.
It is all here on the websites.

MY
RESPECTING OF A SMART MIND
Each of us has some forms of ego in ourselves. We think
we are a little higher or lower than someone else. That
will determine our attitudes towards others, which is of
course very inappropriate.
As
a weak specimen I can't help myself but to surrender to
my own ego. My basic tendency is to regard everyone as
equal but I would feel low when I think someone has a
profound mental ability, which I assessed through their
logical algorithm in putting forward great argument and
debate.
Another is I would vow and respect those who
constantly beat me in Chess. I consider Chess is a game
of mind, a battle of smart minds. There were plenty of
guys who beat me all the time. I knew when he learned
the strategy of winning and when he thought to counter
my move. The strategy he learned from books and his
coach would not bother me but the thinking ability he
put forth to counter my mission that intrigue m as it came
from his mind, not from books or his coach.
A
second type of person is the person who developed some
refine computer application soft wares. For instant a
person who write a search input using name, IC, part of
any of those in a single field is better than those who
called for input of only a single item. The former need
imagination and smartness, the later may just copy and
paste from his lecture note. I would vow to those
creative and smart developers.
Once I used to respect religious scholars and the Ustaz
but later it waned off. Finding them defending
corruptions and un-Islamic political leaders and
participated in election campaigns made me shook them
off. I will always look upon clerics with full
suspicion.
Professionals and university professors do not impress
me too. I have been observing and hearing their words
closely. Their words and deeds do not always show
positive correlation with their degrees.
To
a certain degree they are better qualified than me. To
deny them of their mental prowess is totally absurd. But
education is a factor of opportunity and chances. It is
almost impossible for the hardcore poor to climb to
normal economic status and getting proper education. A
low educated person may think better than the
professionals. He may have a clear vision of the future.
I
noticed some wise persons, in a humble tone would ask to
learn, hiding his knowledge, to see whether he can learn
something newer from others. We may be amazed by the
kids who can tell us more than what we know. Just try to
talk to kids to enjoy the fun.
My
style, ego and attitudes would not benefit me. It is
non-confirmative to the social norm. It would be better
to think that I am always a little lower than the people
around me. What have I got to lose ?

FROM R TO C, FROM C TO R |
CHONG WEI AND
NICOLE |
My interest in computer went way back
when I was young. There weren't any PC yet. Already my
imagination ran wild, trying to figure out how to invent
one. Of course that was a pure nonsense but that was one
of a dreams many young people could have today. My radio
license was before the incoming of PCs. In the early
70's I was one of the active stations. If there were no
Idris or Eshee or anyone calling CQ at five, I would be
the one to fill the vacant. Radio was part of my life
before I went to school again. During my second school
time, I got entangle with a PC, learning BASIC
programming using Texas Instrument in a Radio Shack. I
made a point to drive to the College Mall for teaching
myself BASIC programming. PC entered Malaysian market in
the 80's. My kid told me there were chatting programs on
the computer, which I can talk to the world like the ham
radio. And I was hooked to the IRC and MIRC, forgetting
ham radio, not knowing the ongoing development and
changes that had taken place. I didn't care about my
expired ham ticket anymore.
It was at the end of 2001 I saw my
rig again, naked with cobwebs. Around that year I
received a letter from the tuckshop reminding me of my
expired ticket.
My store ie my current shack was
attacked by termites. Books and printing materials were
destroyed. After clearing and burning the stuffs, I
switched on my radio. I heard no sound. After a little
knock and spraying with mosquito aerosol the sound began
to appear. I heard Choo and Zainal chatting. "My God !
People are still on the radio ?" When I stopped hamming
I thought the whole world stopped too.
I started to check my antenna. By
co-incident Hanafi came to my house. "Bang Rahman,
are you strike by lightning ?" He shouted surprisingly
on seeing me on my roof. He told me about him getting a
ticket, about license B, about 2 meter repeaters, about
several deaths, about the demise of telecom and being
replaced by MCMC.
Slowly I moved back from computer to
radio. Things changed without 9M2DW, 9M2EG and 9M2GV.
They were my old buddies. But Alex was still there. At
this stage I was R-C-R, from radio to computer and back
to radio. I n 2002 I was active again.
But the world and atmosphere of ham
radio has changed, a great leap of quantum change beyond
description.
Each day less and less old hams came
on the band. some few hams would go above 7.1 defying
the authority, saying it was gazetted.
Technology moved. There were iphones,
tablets, iPads, new laptops and 3D TVs. I followed
technology and own some of those. While working on my
new gadgets, I would switch on my radio parked on my usual frequency.
Sometimes people call, other time it was empty. In the
meantime I downloaded movies, HD and 3D. I quit writing
soft ware. My Macbook need cocoa and Xcode to develop.
It was not a trivial matter. I only wish to run all the
VB6 Windows on Mac flatform so that I can use my logbook
and other applications I developed without much hassle.
I finally found out the task is very
possible. What I need is further exploration. Right now
I am testing a Winebottller. There are plenty more to
learn. The time is too little. I may die before I finish
learning.
90% is spent on my computer work,
making it R-C-R-C.
Thanks to God for making life so very
interesting.

Nicole and
Chong Wei are simply amazing. They brought glamour to
the nation by their splendid performances.
To be a
world champion for a long time is indeed a great
achievement. With the age catching up their skill do not
show any decline.
Chong Wei
seemed to have a super strength, beating opponents who
were much stronger and younger than him.
Thumbs up

PRIDE OF BEING A
CRIMINAL
Criminals who
think they are untouchable as they are being
protected by the police and politicians will not
take heed to any criticism. With defiance and
arrogance they are telling the masses, " What
can you do to me ? "
True indeed
they are invincible. But they are people without
honor, shame and moral. And to them this world
is without God. They don't care about life after
death. Simply they do not believe in it.
Do we have to
wait for them to die to record their crime in
history ? They should be pissed right now.
You can start doing it in your own home. Paste
their pictures in your toilet and do the
pissing. They will feel the pinch after 4444
people doing it. If they do it at the same time
the power of telepathy would be be of greater
force.
Everyone is
watching closely the battle between Md Zain and
Ghani Patail. If Najib sees Ghani as a person
who always protect him and other UMNO members,
it will be indeed a sad episode. Najib must
understand that resources used will finally come
to an end. Money can never be enough to pay for
popularity. We corrupt people. Others corrupt
us.
Who is the
criminal then ? Ghani or Md Zain ? We are
watching both. I never mentioned Shafiee for
only one reson. He is a Mamak to me, and I
always distrust a Mamak. Their betrayal and
treason had been recorded in the Malay Annal.
Whose picture are you taking into your toilet
then ?
Malaysians are
not fool. So are the rest of the world.

KEEP CORRUPT MONEY IN YOUR OWN
ACCOUNT ?
Is it
not suicidal to keep the corrupt money in your own
account ? A person collecting a hundred ringgit a day
would spend the money the same day. When the sum is huge
you need to find a way so that it would not be traced.
Ancient
pirates kept wealth in term of gold, including gold
coins, a few with them and much buried in a hidden
ground. One stupid wife buried currencies to hide from
her husband.
I saw a
movie showing a high ranking police officer who turned the
corrupt money into gold and kept the money in his secret
compartment.
Lawyers
are smarter than the rest. They can very well advise how
to go about doing illegal things that look legal.
Corrupt
money and kickbacks many a time did not reach the
destination. Here is a true story:
A towkey
with a bag full of money went to see Mr A who was not in
the office. Mr.B, also a big guy, told the towkey that A
would be back later and promise to deliver the bag to A.
Guess who get the bag and the money ?
If the
amount is huge, it would be better to ask the return
favor by demanding properties in foreign land.
Properties and investments and shares are almost
invisible. And difficult to track.
If you
are about to be arrested you can always say the money is
not yours, but belonging to the party. Musa Aman and
Shahrizat had shown the way to save themselves or
the family.
Many of
us are well versed with the destroying or changing of
evidence.
No
matter what they do, we know they are evil of the worst
degree.

BE CAREFUL OF STEROID |
I came
across an article about Alpa-Lipid and Gamat Healing,
both having steroid content. I would not believe it
because they were licensed by the authority to be in the
market. Whatever I have given up Gamat Healing since I
read the article.
A long
time ago an article in Readers Digest narrating Olympic
champions who met their death at the early age, knowing
they get their strength from such chemical.
A few
days ago my student told me that she has been very
tired, couldn't lift her feet and slept most of the
time. I know that she is quite aggressive in making
herself look young, taking a lot of direct-sale
supplements and stem cell stuffs. My immediate
non-professional response was "Stop taking all the
supplements." I told her about my wife's friend who
passed away trying to make himself thin.
Health Ministry should be more
aggressive and put double effort to check every shop
that sell drugs and supplements, and announced the brand
names that contain dangerous solution. People are making
money. There are fake and bogus supplements around. Be
careful.

SOME PEOPLE |
THIS IS
DECEMBER |
Whatever I have been seeing too many
Malay women Santa Claus around. Are these women
celebrating Christmas ? |
Some people just want history to
record them as villain after their death. We
loath Chin Peng that much that the later generation will loath them
as much. Names like Pharaoh and Abu Jahal are never
sweet to the Muslim Malays.
The writing about the bad things done
would never be erased by any amount of money. There
might be future pillars, low enough on the ground where
passer by can stop and piss at the names engraved on
them.
So far there is no known object
erected for such pissing. Someone has to start building one
with a standard feature; faces to be pissed, names and
the crimes done.
A public toilet would be a good idea,
Bad people can come from any political party. They can
have million of supporters in the country, the recorded
avarices will remain. A criminal is a
criminal. A million mouth said no, he is still a
criminal. Even if all the courts in the country say you
are not guilty, no money stolen, the missing billions
are real. The word plunder is very appropriate. Yet
everyone goes scott free. People keep
records and will put them down in history. Thieves and
robbers will be remembered.

These
few days I saw many Malay women wearing red, some
red-white, displaying clearly their political belief.
Deep down in my heart I said they were celebrating the
coming Christmas. It is just that, what else ?
It is
good that Wanita UMNO have a high Christmas spirit,
choosing to wear the color of Santa Claus, making the
coming event merrier. Idris Jala would surely be glad to
see UMNO prefer the Christian color.
No
people perceive thing as I do. And don't take it serious
for my imagination. I just see red in supermarket and
hearing jingle bell everywhere, a lot of them- during December.
December 25th is the Christmas day. It is also the day
for the birth of Pagan God Horus and many other gods.
Color is
not a playful thing. During the era of Mahathir, green
was a taboo. Mahathir ordered color changes everywhere.
Green could influence masses to go for PAS. Interesting
enough I saw many PAS members just love to wear green.
What does RED
of Wanita's attire signify ? It is an attribute to
bravery, good fortune and Santa Clause
The color red in the
Bible means love, forgiveness, or
even blood sacrifice. Red
in the Bible meant the
chosen people whose doors were paintef red
were to be kept alive and the doors that
were not painted were killed.
Was the color red chosen deliberately from
the bible or by a mere co-incidence ?

Najib meant well when he said the
party fought what Mandela was fighting for. But his
statement is viewed differently by other people. Here is
one that does not agree with Najib's declaration.
15/12/2013 |
|
THINK FOR ME, PLEASE |
NAJIB SHOULD PAY FOR THE RANKING |
The British never conquered all
the states of Peninsular Malaya. Some of our Kings found
it better to invite the British to advise on the running
of their own states except on religious matters. Rather
than mere advise we allow them to plan and run the
administration and the state. Easy work for us.
Don't be surprise if Najib
keeps on hiring advisers and consultants. It was the
traditional aristocrat practices.
How many of us are depending on
others to think and make decision for us ? Old
housewives always said ."Ask your father....." when the
kids asked for some decisions. Husbands did the thinking
job, wives did the household chores.
Our leaders prefer to do the
thinking for us. They told us everything, everyday on
the public media. The submission of our thought to their
commands will keep them in control.
And how many of you prefer your children to listen to
you rather than let them think and decide for themselves
?
Thinking people compare
relationships between events and phenomena, of the past
and the present, observing comparative behaviors,
digging for facts and truths. Because of their nature, they always be the victims
of persecution and punishments. They sometimes rebel.
Somehow Najib does not trust
the Malaysians to do the thinking for him. And Mahyuddin
seemed to follow Njib's footstep. So they hired
thinkers and planners from abroad. We paid millions to
the foreigners to make our education system at the lower
rank. Can't the
Malaysians think well ? Looking at the question and
answer sessions in the Parliament, I tend to think
Malaysuans are not smart enough. Seldom do we hear
discussions on issues detrimental to our economy and
security. Mahathir used
to say smart people are out of UMNO leaving the useless
guys trying to control the intelligent mass. Would you
believe that there isn't anyone able to think for the
best of our nation ? Probably Malaysians are really
dumb. You can judge yourself with the various statements
made by the top officers and politicians. And the masses
are at loggerhead on language to be used in Mathematics
and sciences. And now we hear of PBS, of which our
Ministers are painting beautiful pictures about the new
system, which probably they get from the foreign
consultant. Of course
our final question is 'Can't our Ministers think by
themselves ?' Or is it easier and more convenient
for them to let the consultant do the thinking for them
so that they can think of some dirty ways to retain
their power ? It does not require a university degree to
think evil. It does not need a law degree to utter
stupid words and to become beastly. But it takes a great
politician to buy the refurbish jets and sub-marine, to
destroy forests, agriculture land and water catchment
areas, and to import foreigners to work in our country.
You think for me please. I am going to play golf.
14/12/2013 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
Najib should
pay someone to tell the world that Malaysia is the top
country in Southeast Asia and probably better than all
the Islamic countries of the world.
Would New
York Times be the best choice ? There is no known Prime
Ministers and Presidents of the world who are so
generous as Najib. Najib likes to give away money for
anything, especially for good things. Isn't it not good
and great to broadcast the greatness of the Malay race,
superior to all others and the best to run a nation ?
Currently
there is a sports competition in Burma/Myanmar. Superior
race would usually be at the top. And Burma, the
undeveloped Kampong with Kampong mentality Burmese,
would not be able to run the SEA game well.
How about
Vietnam ? Could Vietnam excel us in any way at all ? So
all the Southeast Asian countries except Singapore.
Probably Malaysian leaders would recognize Singapore as
a little better than Malaysia.
Open your
ears wide. You will hear someone will say we are the
best in the world in everything; the cheapest gasoline,
the cheapest food and commodities, the cheapest toll,
the best in education, the highest standard of leaving
and the most developed.
Those
wouldn't be enough unless more is spent on the world and
popular media to tell the world how great we are. Najib
has the money. He can pay for it.
Even the
ordinary Malaysians do think they are smarter than the
rest of ASEAN counterpart.

SINCERITY |
UNITY OF THE GOOD PEOPLE |
MALAYSIA MUST GO FOR MAC |
Our local
mosque has a lot of money. Unknown persons paid for
water, electricity and other maintenance. They prefer to
remain anonymous. And every time there is natural
calamity helps arrived from all over the world. USA
would send manpower, food, medicines and other hard ware
stuffs. Do you ever notice the American Presidents
telling the people of the those countries that it was
USA that provide most of the support ?
For Muslims and
other non-Muslims believe that whatever God provides to
them are not merely for themselves. It is also for the
others.
Helping others
are either out of sincerity or a duty. A Chief Minister
or Ministers must fulfill their duty to help the people
in distress. They are paid to do so. And taxes collected
from the populace are also for the purpose.
When America
went to China to help the victims of the earth quake we
never heard the American government demanding China or
the Chinese people to pay for the gratitude. The aid was
sincere. That's the way of the cultured society.
UMNO must ask
the Ustaz about helping others. Right now they are
yelling at everyone in Malaysia,"Look, UMNO is very kind
enough to provide aid to the flood victims. Najib
boasted about giving millions away."
11/12/013 - old acer |
People must try to do and be
good, sincere and virtuous, honest and trustworthy.
Goodness is not in a race or religion. It is not rare
among the the non-Muslims. As I said before one has to
either rely on his conscience or his belief that God is
around him. There are millions of
anonymous philanthropists in this world.
It is wise to befriend the good people rather
people of our own kind just because of similar color,
language and ethnicity. We have to accept that there are
good Chinese, Indians, Malays, Christians, Hindus and
Muslims. It would be
folly if you don't know the bad Malays or Chinese until
now. They lie through their teeth, killed lives, peddle
drugs, robbing the poor, plundering public funds and did
shameless acts. The
1Malay and 1Malaysia act is actually a farce because we
are now having too many bad people, plenty of criminals,
addicts and cheaters.
Uniting good people together is an ideal idea but it is
something impossible to achieve, yet it is enough to
debunk the concept of 1Malay and 1Malaysia. To the
politicians words and lies mean nothing. They will do
anything to remain in power.
A good atheist cannot be worst than a Muslim
criminal.

Macbook is
superb and splendid. It may be a little more expensive
but you are paying for comfort, peace of mind and
aesthetic. I bought my Macbook Pro some years ago
and I don't regret owning it, paid for a long battery
life, sharp and beautiful display and free of virus.
Microsoft is
now developing softwares for mac OS. MS Office may be
pretty penny but you get what you pay. You would surely
love the Word, Power Point etc. The format and display
are simply fantastic.
Only
yesterday I paid RM250 for servicing my Acer. With the
anti-virus , RM70, added up gave a total of RM320. It is
10% of Macbook air. If you go a regular service, you
might as well buy a Macbook.
My
grandchildren are still small. I will buy them the Mac
products. And I hope the government will soon opt to
Apple rather than staying with Windows.
Someone said
to me that once I stuck with Apple, I won't go for any
other. To me it will be complete if I can master the
coca X-Code, tools for developing applications for both
iPhone and MacBook. But age slows me down. I have too
many things to do with little time.
I am sure
someone up there will go for Mac.

DO
YOU BELIEVE IN GHOST ? |
NOTHING WENT RIGHT
It has not been a good day today.
The worst was my Acer laptop went haywire. It did not
mention crash though the symptom looked like one. My old
Window XP CD can't do the formatting. I used the
Winows98 and I think even tomorrow night the formatting
won't be complete. 80 Gig is considered big for the slow
machine.
I the meantime I opened up another
older Acer. Searching for the power supply took hours
and when found the cables were razed by the rats.
Mending it was about 45 minutes and I made the machine
run again. The antivirus was outdated. Again I hunted
for another search, the 2013 version of CD. I got the
2011 and 2012 but not the year Iwanted.
My shack is in jumble tumble like
a war torn enviroment.
It's late in the morning. I did
not have my dinner and my bath yet. I told myself to try
typing this page on the old computer, transfer to my pen
drive and upload it using my Macbook Pro. At least I
have the way to go about updating my blog while the
problem will be sent to a mechanic to fix. And I will be
buying the 2014 anti virus version tomorrow after
sending my wife to dialysis.
We cannot have good days all the
time. When bad time arrive we have to accept it as fate,
to take things easy. My bad day is not as bad as
thousand of others are facing; flood. Only the other
night there was a house on fire not far from my home. My
student told me she had to change a tire of her new BMW
for 2K this evening after a mishap.
At least I can resolve my power
supply problem and made my old laptop run after staying
dormant for a long time. And After clearing the mess
tomorrow m shack will be a little more tidy.

It is now 10.20 am. Formatting status is 80%. I
don't know how long it will take before it gets to 100%.
My using the current method seems to work well; doing my

uploading. At least I will be comfortable this way until
tomorrow.

The word ghost
doesn't frighten me at all. I don't believe in one and I
am not scared of any haunted place. At 9 I walked across
a graveyard, taking up a challenge from my peers. But
around the age too I did see some flying being among
trees behind my house. I was told they were called 'tengelong'.
I also believe
that there might be other things with different
characteristics and nature exist side by side unknown to
me. They were talking of 'Toyol', a small
creature that can
penetrate a small hole. Some people bought the 'Toyol'
from the Middle East and brought back home, asking it to
steal either fifty dollar or a hundred dollar note. At a
time it will steal only one piece. I am skeptical, not
amounting to disbelieve.
But lately
something really bother my mind. The Kedah soccer team
for the Sultan Shield has an eerie goal keeper. How
could more than 20 supposed to be goaled ball missed the net ?
The one-to-one always missed the goal mouth. Really
weird. Pahang had more than 10 chances of sure goal,
Selangor more. It was a deep frustration to
both teams. Last night Selangor had to change the
striker before the game ended, unsuspecting of the
strange phenomena..
Was he using a
Toyol ? If he does he need to teach the being about goal
keeping, blowing the incoming ball off the net. I
discussed with my wife. She was talking of Makhluk
Halus. Makhluk Halus a creature, not visible to
human eyes, but can take form if it wished to be seen.
There are
Western scholars who are doing research on
this type of creature.
Jinn is the main subject of research. To believe in the
power of such creatures, Kedah has been the beating team
in the last FA cup, and even the team from the Middle
East was never a champion any any sports. And in wars
they were badly trashed.
Would you say
Manchester United or Barcelona were using these
creatures to make them champion ? Or the Jinn might say
that the power could not fight the fusion of nature made
by man ?
The next game
will be televised, the final between Kedah and Perlis.
You try to closely watch Kedah goal keeper. If you do
notice strange happenings, you can start to ask similar
question. Is he using the mysterious unseen creature ?

A
COACH
A coach, referee and linesman are
always at the receiving end. One of those who yell aloud
at those three is me. I paid RM15 for a ticket. RM5 for
watching the game and the other RM10 for shouting and
yelling.
Last night I yelled at a referee
for allowing Selangor's goal against Kedah while he was
pointing the free kick spot Selangor player quickly took
the ball away from the spot and dribbled for the goal
even when every of Kedah player was looking at the
referee and the spot he was pointing. At the
Kedah-Pahang game the linesman flagged offside a free-kick
ball. Occasionally I yelled at the coach whenever the
players repeatedly made the same errors.
Of course it is easy to shout and
yell than to do the work. If I were a referee probably
stones will be thrown at me after the game and mob may
attack my car.
Coaching job is tough. It also
depends on luck. Indiscipline players mean 'a very bad
luck' for his carrier. Besides a coach must know the
dribbling skill, body shielding, the art of kicking the
ball, stamina training, health sciences, about food and
nourishment and most of all strategy in the playing
field. The hardest is to build an individual skill.
Most of all the coach, players and
those involve in the team should know what made the
champions. There are some footage documenting the making
of the champions. The one I saw could be described as
'bizarre and cruel'. The training was painful. The coach
demand for the maximum. There were tears in the
training. Other team and other game may use different
approach. We need to know them, sending spies and spend
money.
Rajagopal said "I don't regret."
He chose good players playing against the best team in
the world. If you do a good job, you would not bother
what people say about it. I would always say "Go and get
a better person and make the team a world champion."

WE DON'T MAKE FLOOD |
I could remember well and
vividly how PAS get the lashing when flood happened in
Kelantan. In fact when a tiger killed a victim in the
same state PAS was blamed.
Flood is not the making of Nik
Aziz or Najib. Sea water found it's way to cover
residential areas in mainland China and the United
States. Heavy downpour ever flooded the Holly Kaabah.
Man can be blamed when flooding
is not caused by the wrath of nature. Light but
prolonged rainfall can caused flood if the water has no
way to escape.
My form four student wrote that
the felling of trees on the hill tops and the barren
hills could not in anyway slow down the rainwater down
the hills, which can cause flash flood.
And it is absurd to say," Your
flood is due to poor planning. Our flood is the wrath of
nature. It is OK to have flood in our states but not OK
in yours."
What we should do is try to
prevent and prepare for the worse. When we suggest the
manufacture of a cheap and durable dinghy to be kept at
home probably no one will take heed.
Food, water and electricity can
come later once we are in a dinghy. We can stay alive
for days without them. Even then, if the rapid is too
strong big boats may not be of use.
Only silly people vote for
politicians who exploit flood to project themselves.

Is UMNO following Christianity
step by step each day ? Declaring war with other fellow
Muslims had long been criticized by Christian scholars
to demonize Islam. Of course at that criticism we can
back-pointed that Christians too kill each other. My
friend added Hitler and Americans killed more people
than the Muslims.
That was not the point. The point
is in the Middle East the enemy of the states exploited
this issue to weaken the national bond for easy conquest
and to maintain power.
Today Malaysians are clever enough
to use the words Divide and Rule policy. Is it not irony
that it was we ourselves are making the division ?
Israel never discount Iran as the
biggest threat. She sees Iran as a Muslim country not as
a Shiet nor Sunni. Wasn't it Iran that plays important
part in strengthening Hezbollah ?
UMNO is the starting point to
split Islam, splitting the Muslims so that they will
hate each other by wanting to put it in the
constitution. YET we claim that Islam means peace.
Wouldn't the world be laughing to
see UMNO like a snake with two heads ? One head says
1Malaysia. Another says 1Malays. Soon out of this
confusion someone will come up with a new idea 1Malaysia
and 1Malay.
UMNO members do not seem in favor
unity. They call PAS deviant, throw stones at opposition
ceramah, called NIK Aziz infidels, call the Malays to
hate Chinese and now declaring war on other Muslim
sects.
On the other hand Najib went to
see and shook hand with pope of Rome, went to Indian
temple, engage Jews and Christians to either advise or
participate in governing.
It is a waste of money to make
themselves jesters at UMNO General Assembly. That's the
highest IQ they are parading to the world. There isn't
even a unity of thought between the leadership and the
grassroots. All they want is Muslim disunity. The
Christians find it hilarious. We ought to be ashamed.

:"Make me a king and you take the
country," said the local head to the colonizer. Happily
the foreigners agreed, brought gifts to the King
including the Western shoes. Shoes were something new,
for the Malays have been barefooted for a long time.
The White men put the right shoe
on the left foot and the left to the right, photographed
the King and sent back the picture to England. The
English nobles were laughing seeing the Malays wearing
shoes on different feet. "That's the Malays we are
dealing with," they said with laughter.
Anybody else is saying that ?
"Make me a king and you take the country ?" Open your
eyes wide and listen to the words, decipher the
behaviors. You may hear it and see it and finally
realize it.
The British once defined Malays as
a human specie with brown skin, living on trees and
emotional. The early nationalists were from Penang,
Melaka and other Straits states, either of Indian or
Arab origin, married to the local women. They were
inspired by what was happening in the Middle East. They
set up schools that also taught skill for vocation.
They were not pure Malays.
The people of the East coast,
Kelantan and Trengganu were doing business even before
the coming of the colonial power, using boats that
sailed to Patani and other Nusantara area. Patani was a
strong Islamic center for a long time. I don't remember
people from these states ever said "Make me a king and I
give you this country".
Changing the phrase 'I give you
this country' to 'I give you the forest to plunder, the
agriculture land and the hill top' is more pertinent.
That's just a small part of it.
I have many stories about the
foolishness of the Malays. It happened in the past but
it never ended there. It is still here, alive and
kicking, with greater magnitude.

MINIMUM WAGE
IN USA |
HOW
MANY ARE BEASTS ? |
Food
for thought
|
Minimum wage in the United
States is balance by The Right to Hire and Fire. Firing
a worker is as simple as saying hello. 'You are fired"
is the end of you.
Malaysian and other foreign
students were easy to get job; the men went for house
and building cleaning, the women went to wash bottles. I
don't remember how much they were paid. One student
could pay the whole university fee. The women, mostly
housewives, were really enjoying the income.
Factories and contractors
prefer the outsiders to the local. Why not when they
only paid US800 for architecture jobs to foreigners but
US3000 to the local architect.
Collective bargaining drove
firms out. Here in Malaysia we have firms that escaped
minimum wage in Canada and USA employing our people that
take more than 2/3 lesser.
Our minimum wage law will bring
both happiness and frustration. Those who can escape
will try to escape, and those who can't will transfer
the burden to the consumers.
If people come to me and ask
for a job, my answer is ' There is no job. But if you
want to work, you can work. I give you the bare minimum.
Take it or leave it. I don't need workers'.
I predict that the firms will
move out to the countries without the minimum wage law.
And at the same time the Malaysians will have to pay
more until we say 'Look ! Our ringgit has no value....'

How bad is the illuminati ? How
bad are the Jews ? Those are not as bad as beasts in
human form. By their speech and deeds we would
immediately recognize them as animals that should be
cast in hell fire. And they don't deserve to die but
they deserve to be tortured as long as possible. Make
sure they won't die and can't commit suicide.
So far I saw there is only ONE,
the female beast. I wish I live long enough to see her
being tortured, while asking her to repeat all her words
that she shamelessly thrown.
Many of us don't have any power.
We can appeal to God to show her the right path, and use
our telepathic mind to send an anger message. Among the
millions there will be some with strong mind and
ability. Mine wants her to fall sick and mentally
unstable, near to madness.
The Beast talk as if there is no
God in this universe, and as if it has no religion; the
words are like devil and the behavior is beastly.
From the Islamic point of view the
speech is recognized as syirik or kufur; claiming
oneself as a God has to be worse than beasts.
Open your ears and hear well who
else will claim that he or his group is a God. I believe
more will come forward to claim as one.
Other people assess us by our
words and deeds. They won't say stupid to our stupidity.
They play to appease our emotions. Emotional men and
women are easily captured by soothing words and soft
talks and praise.
Day by day they are losing respect
and integrity, the properties they own, and the power
they have. They will keep on talking of the same till
the day of judgment.

When we were boys among other rhymes
we used to yak was 'Pahang, Perak, Selangor, Negeri
Sembilam. Pak Hang Berak Bercamur Tengah Jalan.
What we didn't know was the rhyme was
about the Federated Malay States. The federated Malay
States were Pahang, Perak, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.
The federated Malay states had a common law. They have
their weekend on Sundays.
The Unfederated Malay State,
Johor Kelantan, Perlis, Kedah and Trengganu each with a
British advisor, has it's own law. They have the weekend
on Friday.
Perlis and Johor changed their
weekend from Friday to Sunday a few years ago as the
UMNO state government thought it was better that way for
the economy. Certainly it was not under the pressure of
any opposition party. Neither was any intention to
change the Friday prayer to Sunday.
Friday weekend leave the impact among
the Muslims that this is an Islamic nation. Yet no
Muslim passed any remark to the weekend changed by
Perlis and Johor.
Recently Johor wanted to revert back
to Friday. Surely it would be met by opposition
especially from the business community.
What transpires out of this
proposition and opposition was PAS was blamed saying
that PAS supported DAP demanding the Muslims to have
their Friday prayer on Sunday.
It was similar to UMNO accusing DAP
wanting to abolish monarchy when it was UMNO that really
had wanted to throw the Sultanate.
Why didn't someone blame UMNO wanting
the Muslims to pray on Sunday when Perlis and Johor
changed the weekend ?
Shops and banks that prefer Sunday's
weekend in Kedah operate their business on Friday and
close on Sundays. Many car shops did the same.
I would like to see UMNO to be more
reasonable and rationale rather than depicting their
mere sentiments. Protecting wastage and corruption and
price hike is not only stupid but greater than moronic.
How could we show that we are that silly, like the
Hassan and Hussein who gave away the countries as long
as they were made King.
Come on UMNO. Please ponder and look
back at history.

PAS and Flood
Whenever there was a flood PAS
got the bashing; PAS that, PAS this. In what way PAS is
going to be blamed for the flood in Pahang and Trengganu
? I am waiting for the national media to curse PAS for
the flood in those states.
As UMNO can do no wrong, flood
can be in BN states but not in Kelantan. You would hear
the the continuous criticism lambasting PAS for at least
a week, attacking the poor and unplanned development.
In the realm of the current
flood situation some might want to know whether only the
PAS areas are experiencing the disaster and the land
belonging to UMNO is free from disaster ?
If you have been following the
case of flooding you would come to realize how sinful
can UMNO be. All seem to show that there were no fear of
the Al-Mighty and dispelling believe in the
retribution.
This is only a flood, not the
typhoon or the Tsunami or the earth quake yet.
What now ? All the able bodied
men and women regardless of their political beliefs must
work together to save the victims.

MALAYSIAN HAMS - IS IT JOKING ? |
WHERE WOULD THE
MALAYS BE WITHOUT UMNO ?
Najib asked the Malays where would
they be without UMNO ? If he wants to know the answer
just close down UMNO and see what the Malays would be
and where.
UMNO is new, very new in Malaya.
The Malays were here even before the Sunda flat form
sank. Najib is newer than UMNO.
Where was the Malay before UMNO
came to limelight ? Couldn't they survive before the
party was born ? How many beggars were there before the
independent ? How many Malays were drug addicts then
than now ? Did the Malays before UMNO knew what
corruption was, kickbacks and the plundering of the
public funds ?
The Malays under UMNO are losing
more lands ? A great number of Malay fishermen became
poor and addicted to drugs. They became gangsters, bag
snatchers, house breakers and robbers.
Where would they be without UMNO ?
Where would they be with UMNO ? Today they live in high
rise, dingy flats with small space. They hunt for money
from garbage bins, and preying their victims at parking
lots and ticket stands. Some became so ruthless. The
Malays survived well even before the birth of UMNO.

A ham in
Malaysia threw a question in a face book, asking the
different between amateur radio and two-way radio. There
were several replies. Assessing some of the answers were
not suitable I gave one, something like this 'Amateur
radio is a hobby where a person with permission to
transmit could use a two-way radio to communicate. One
is a hobby. The other is an instrument. Two-way radio
can be used by the police, army, security, business etc.
including the hams.' I posted my reply.
Because
they didn't like my answer, they plug it out, and
re-paste the messages without my response.
Of course
it does not hurt me. But not knowing the different
between a hobby and equipments would surely depicting to
the world the type of hams we have in this country.
Similarly
when Rashid, 9M2NZ, corrected the usage of wanting to
know signal strength is to ask for the signal strength,
not the audio report, he was bombarded, saying he was
trying to show off and try to teach the others.
Just
because one is well verse with microprocessors's flags
does not mean one is the best in ham radio, and could
not accept a small correction. Are they joking ?

SERIOUS CHARGE
The charge on Ghani Patail is very
serious. He cannot be made innocent by media or Najib,
like what seem to happen to Liong Sik, who was seem not
made guilty by Mahathir's words. Nor the grandness of
UMNO general assembly can turn a guilty person innocent.
Remember the government tried to
propose to change 'a person is guilty until proven
innocent' from 'a person is innocent until proven
guilty' ? Lucky for Ghani the change did not
materialize. He is saved by it.
If nothing happens, what goes down
in history will be recorded both in the global database
as well as in human minds. No matter what they think
about God, people perception remain.
What and who among God's creatures
are without shame ? We do see a lot of people without
one, shameless and conscienceless.
When drums are silence to mourn
the burial of some dead specie somewhere people are
celebrating the joy of the parting evil. Only the
unbelievers see that was the end of the evil when in
reality his days are not over yet.
Ghani must challenge the charge.

WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE ? |
Past back
in time we used to talk of corruption in Indonesia and
Thailand. And it was hard for me to figure out the daily
killings in the United States.
Such
sickening state of affair is right here and now, where
corruption has been a norm, starting from the most top
to the lowest bottom. And killing is almost an everyday
affair. What went wrong and why ?
Just now
I rang up my student asking whether her teen daughter is
aware of the most recent murder of a young girl and two
other kids in the family. Teen girls sneaked out quietly
without informing the family members where they went. At
the jogging tracks, in the park, they were seen with
group of boys smoking, or at a more quiet place intimate
courting. Several young girls had been reported missing
and found dead. It was an UMNO strong man, Rais Yatim,
who said morality is parent's responsibility. It was the
NGO and the government who were talking of the right of
individuals. Schools are not allowed to discipline the
children, and the teachers just couldn't care less.
I heard
people talking of the suspect murderer, a boyfriend of
the murdered girl living in Perlis. But it could be
anybody. And another body was found in the river in
Kuala Lumpur. Religious official was shot. A custom
officer was murdered. Altantuya was bombed.
How bad
is corruption here ? They even corrupt the devil to say
they are good. People who gave did not report but
whispered they gave money to the police and the
immigrations. And they pay for the good report card.
We can
take a stand to say we are free of corruptions and our
country is safe. We can write volumes of our greatness,
while at the background there is a report of daily
killing and paying for gratitude and favors.
Is paying
the devil worth the effort ? Are we saying our killing
crime is lower than the United States ?
We used
to sleep with windows open, the incoming breeze chased
away mosquitoes. Other than the Communist insurgents
murdering spree were unheard off. The known drug was
opium consumed by elderly people. We were scared of our
teachers and dared not tell our parents if we were
canned. During the Japanese occupation you can leave
your belonging unattended because head of thief was hung
at public place.
Today,
stringent laws are considered savage. Parents attacked
the school and the
teachers ferociously and
aggressively. So much so smoking and administering drugs
by kids have been ignored by the schools and general
public.
Partly we
are responsible for what is happening in our country. We
are too emancipated, too liberal, too enlighten. We
become so very greedy and wanting more for our life.
They stole millions. The young and junior officers want
some too. It is easy to close our eyes than to sacrifice
our lives unnecessarily. And partly leaders are to be
blamed too. They left to others to run the country while
they merely put their whole energy and mind to thinking
how to retain perpetual power. We should ask ourselves,
are crimes imported ? Who taught the public how and what
to corrupt ?

MONEY =
RESOURCES |
BOB
LAZAR EXPOSURE - DO YOU BELIEVE IT ? |
Do we need to be economist to know
about wealth, money and resources ? A country rich in
petroleum, uranium and other resources can choose to
print few currencies, enough to distribute to the
productive population. What happen then ? When supply is
in abundance people cam buy with smaller amount of
money. In short the value of money is high. On the other
hand a bare country without resource and other wealth,
can choose to print tons and tons of currencies. Imagine
the cost of an apple.
When we compare countries and income
it is vital to compare the wealth of the nation as well
including the ratio of the population to the amount of
available wealth. A national income of 200 billion with
a population of 5 million is different from the NI of
200 billion with the population 50 million.
If printing more money can enhance
people's livelihood, Bangladesh and other poor countries
would have increase their volume of currencies.
I am not against minimum wage. But
when I heard the big man of Najib mentioned foreign
countries in comparison I merely asked myself how they
were compared; did they took account of comparative
resources and wealth and the population ?
A pay rise is shot-lived. The neck to
neck race between salary and prices will never end.
Could a blind in economy be wrong ?
Already we felt the rapid rate of the declining value of
our money. The purchasing power has plunge down.
Our money, resources and population
will determine our future.

You would not care to know
about Bob Lazar or Mariam Mokhtar. You know a lot about
Shahrizat, Rosmah or Khalid. You know a lot of people
paraded on our TV that is pushing your mind to vote for
UMNO for peace and stability. I have to say sorry to
myself for ignoring the mainstream media to avoid
hearing to big lies and deception from day to day, so
much so I didn't know about the recent murder of three
young children not far away from my home. I didn't even
know Johari Baharom despite meeting him every now and
then at the Nasi Kandar restaurant except recently.
But I have special interest in
people like Mariam and Bob Lazar. Knowing Bob Lazar will
take us to look into free energy, TESLA and Edison.
Bob Lazar is famous for his
exposure of Area 51. He spoke about the alien beings,
the alien ship and investigation of a portion of the
alien craft.
He explained the design and the
working of the alien spaceship, the anti-gravity system.
All seem to indicate that the United States has come up
with a space vehicles that can travel at the speed of
light.
Do I believe in his exposure ?
On the anti-gravity propulsion system I very much
believe in the technology being
developed. But I am very sceptical about the alien
that looks like a human. I just think the form and shape
of alien, if they are true, will be beyond our
imagination. I would
like to suggest to the young Malaysians to take more
interest and deepen their insights into the profound
anti-gravity concepts rather than becoming mobs to throw
stone and shoes into mosques and at people hearing
ceramah, or take to street to call the Malays to hate
the Chinese. They should form themselves a scientific
society, emulating the anti-gravity as well as free
energy projects. Organize the fund raising themselves
rather than asking from the government. UMNO is never
sincere in giving you things. They want something back
in return.
I think it is better for our nation to have more
Mariams and Lazar than Ibrahim Ali or Patail or
Shahrizats.

KHALID'S SALARY AND ANWAR'S CONSULTATION |
MARIAM MOKHTAR AN INTELLIGENT MALAYSIAN |
The
statement by Khalid that PM's salary must be revised to
make more than his cannot be accepted. I think the
salary of Selangor MB is too high and does not reflect a
politician for the people. Who could accept Khalid's
excuse of him being thrifty as not to waste public
money. On this account I will not support Kahlid's
proposal and I think Selangor should review back the
salary scale and went back to the previous or less than
the previous.
The
question of payment for consultancy has to be examined
in detail.
It has
been our long tradition and practice that we don't hire
consultants from our own party members. Najib cannot
hire Shahidan Kassim as his consultant. Khalid cannot
hire Anwar as his consultant too. If they still want to
do it then they have to pay from their own pocket money.
Yet it could not be a fee.
Is Anwar
paid for consultation ? Khalid denies it. That won't be
enough. He can clear the air by suing the relevant
accuser to court.
Unfortunately I see Khalid as a stubborn person.
03/12/2013 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
Would it be
wise for the IGP to threaten Mariam Mokhtar ? We do
compare statements by politicians, top government
officials and normal laymen like Mariam Mokhtar. Can't
we make conclusion out of their words ? "The missing
weapons fell into the sea", "Ours the lowest in the
world", "Nik Aziz worships idols", "Balik Cina la.."
cannot be construed as smart connotations. They reflect
the state of mentality. And it boggles our mind when it
was said that Siti Aishah was under the police scrutiny
in London and then the police didn't know where she went
for three months.
Mariam Mokhtar
is one rare of the intelligent specie. I would say she
excels top women politicians of both BN and PR, and
smarter than ten a thousand men of UMNO's echelon. She
hit right on the head and hit hard. We aren't savage
enough not to use our mental capacity to debunk what we
think is wrong. Why should we act with the sentiment
using the power vested in us ? Just because we are the
police or UMNO Ministers we can say whatever we like and
do whatever we want ?
I used to read
Tunku Aziz and Mariam Mokhtar's article and praise their
mental sharpness, and have pride in them being Malays of
caliber. Young women should emulate Mariam rather than
Shahrizat, who always made herself to be around Najib
with the known expressed purpose.
It is a pity
that the government keeps bad eggs that constantly
causing huge wastage of public funds and national
resources. The buyer of the indelible ink is still there
and no arrest was made till now. We just tell the
corrupt guardian of the law to shun corruption without
arresting those suspects.
What if we let
Mariam and Khalid settled their scores on the chess
board. I am sure Khalid will surrender within a few
steps. She is a genius Malaysia should be proud of and
she could be a better consultant to Najib so that
Malaysia could be put in order again. How much different
of a lawyer and a lawyer buruk ? But there
is a lot of different between a lawyer and another with
pure scientific mind, mental prowess, eco-warrior,
chemist and environmental control scientist. And Mariam
Mokhtar can write extremely well.
Try to read her
articles and you can feel the depth of her thinking.

CAN YOU CALL
CQ ON REPEATER ? |
STUPID MP |
Here is what my ARRL 1977 says."When
desiring to make a contact, all that is necessary is to
indicate you are in frequency. On some machines this may
be accomplished by 'This is WA1RDX mobile one
monitoring.' On others, standard practice calls
for a single CQ followed by identification. Never send a
long CQ;..." Note that mobile one is a location
like mobile Bukit Berapit etc.
But there are other views. .
What then when some say
'yes' and some say 'no'.
From the my ARRL I conclude that the final say comes
from the repeater owners. The owners have to apply the
rule of common sense, to know between the open and
channelized band.
To me what is in one's mind that
matters. "9W2XXX this is 9W2ZZZ' is proper to call for a
friend. "9W2XXX mobile Telok Intan listening" to let
others know that he is on frequency. "9W2XXX calling CQ"
indicates he wants to talk to anybody at all. Certainly
it is not "CQ CQ CQ CQ ON 144.600. THIS IS 9W2XXX
CALLING AND STANDING BY.
Sensibility is sweet.

Either this MP is stupid or
born to be bad. He said, "The government help all
citizen. Therefore in return they must vote for BN."
Time and again with a loud and
audible voice the citizens are talking of PUBLIC fund.
Giving money to Shahrizat's family is not the money that
belongs to UMNO or Mahyuddin. Unless all taxes are
collected
only from UMNO or BN members.
|
The Chinese outcry is because
much of their money were discriminately spent.
The salary of the said MP is
paid by DAP, UMNO, PAS and almost every person in the
country. He should be grateful to the people and not
only to UMNO.
Words like those so far came
from the Malays or stupid natives. "The government will
not develop those areas who did not vote BN." If they
are not stupid then they must be very bad people, who
themselves, do not understand what gratitude mean.
This country does not belong to
UMNO nor the opposition members. It belongs to those who
are the resident citizens. We don't pay tax to fill in
UMNO's pocket. Calling it's citizen to leave the country
for not submitting to UMNO's demand is not from the
sound mind, and not fit to be people's representatives.
Mahathir too has the sick
mentality. I said sick because they can't compute where
their salaries come from, and who should be thanking
whom. They can talk on gratitude if they serve the

people using their own
money from their own pocket with their own sweat.
The perception of the world and
mankind may differ between the ruling class and the
ruled class. The ruling class think they are god, the
most powerful. The ruled class says human are the same
in the eyes of God. No matter how much gold used to
ornament the grave yard and the money they have in the
banks, they are of equal status in the next world.
The health of democracy
lies in the check and balance, to minimize the power
abuse. There should be a strong opposition. If PKR is
running the government we want to have a strong BN as
opposition too.
For a layman to have a single
track mind, it would not harm the country. We can't
afford to have lawmakers to slow down the progress of a
nation.
Corruption is giving for a
return of a favor. That was vividly defined by the law.
At one time it was defined to the government servants
what constitutes a gift.

THINKING OF CAMCORDER |
HOW TO GO ON AIR LEGALLY WITHOUT AN
AA ? |
WHAT I UNDERSTAND BY APPARATUS
ASSIGNMENT |
I have yet to compute my end-of-year total expenditure. So far I have renewed my Viva
road tax. Waiting are my server rental, Kancil road tax,
land and house rates, a new wheel chair for my wife, the
final utility and internet bills. It could be as much as
3.5 K.
Sony Camcoder, PJ380, is about 2K
even. It's opportunity cost is traveling overseas.
Unfortunately, Najib's policy, has pull down the
currency value, making our saving plunged to half the
previous value. Tai Baht has beaten our ringgit for
quite some time. Buying a camcoder with a minimum use
could be a wastage.
What an old man like me will do
with a handycam ? To record my QSO and upload the clip
on the Youtube ? ( In fact I don't even know how to
upload video to the Youtube )
With whatever decision I think I
should better visit a Sony dealer in Alor Setar and find
out more about the gadget.
So far I can contain myself from
unnecessary spending on upgrading my iPhone 4 to iPhone
5, and dispel my desire to replace my missing Garmin. I
don't even think of buying another additional ham gear.
Let me hear from myself before I
make any decision.

NO TO
CAMCORDER
I went to Sony outlet and
had a look at the said handycam. It has no 3D as
advertised. The battery last for two hours and the
built-in projector did not impress me at all. The
zooming capability is excellent.

Anything can be done in Malaysia
because it is the desire of the government to make as
many people happy as possible. There are many ways
that people go round the bush to legalize things.
To legally going on the air you
either apply for a commercial repeater license or pay to
use the approved relay terminal. You can use the it at
your own will, without having to register your
equipment. The MCMC either doesn't bother to check the
user nor monitor the communication.
A second method is to apply for
frequency to be used by a certain organization; name it
as RELA, Jawatan Kuasa Keselamatan, or any other. Create
special call signs and distribute them among your
friends. Once given they can call themselves the members
of the relevant unit. Buy rigs and use them at your
will.
Of course the next step is to
erect your own repeater.
So far we did hear these kind of
activities used against the opposition party, giving
report the movements of the opponents but the supporters
of the opposition has yet to use these radio to attack
the ruling party. They could easily break into the
repeater and throw slurs and curses at their opponents
and the leaderships.
I think that will not happen.
01/12/2013 |
I have to be a nut to define AA
as I see it. The phrase apparatus assignment seems to
imply the assignment of the apparatus, in this
case the transmitting equipment, to a person or a
company to use them. In other words it is the permission
given by a radio authority to a person or organization.
Four things would be involved; the type of the hardware,
the name of the user, the fee and the certificate of
authorization.
All government and public
organizations need to have authorization for the usage
of the transceivers. Hence they are to be registered.
No where in the permission
mentioned the need to pass the Radio Amateur
Examination. Security forces for private bodies do not
sit for the exam.
There are two type of radio
tests. Normally for those who completed a course or pass
a test would be awarded with certificate. C & G does
award such valuable document.
I don't have any, neither for
RAE nor CW.
I think 99.98% of the apparatus
assigned do not match with the users. To fix the
anomalies is some hard work which is not worth
attention.

AMANAH - TRUST
One of the biggest sins in Islam
is Breach of Trust. To tell a person that he cannot be
trusted, would rage him. Yet he is of a habit of
breaking promises, cancelling an appointment at the last
minute and didn't deliver what he is supposed to convey.
A habitual person will think that is just a normal thing
and nothing wrong with it. To such a person telling lies
is just like taking a breakfast.
I find that such a person is a
glib speaker, with the intent to impress others of his
capability and expertise in every body of knowledge. He
will come with a lot of excuses and reasons, always
blame other people for any mishaps and more so cleverly
maneuver himself to get what he wants.
You have to be awake to
recognize a person, smart enough to trace lies and
deception. If you are asleep he is bound to sting on
you.
I am really annoyed when I
postponed all my activities because a person promise to
come to my house at a certain time but hours later
informed me he had something else to attend to. The
whole day was wasted.
To me punctuality is utmost
important. I don't want people to wait for me at the
promised hour. If there is a traffic jam I would call
him to inform of the situation.
It is true that human are
infallible. We make mistakes The fact is we do
know when a mistake is made or a promise has to be
broken at time of emergency. But if they are repeated,
we will eventually trace the deliberate efforts just to
satisfy his own needs or lusts.
To many to be honest and
trustworthy is a strife. No matter what the world is we
can't just follow it. The world is full of
contradictions and hypocrisy. Refer back to the teaching
of religion. No religion would condone unfulfilled
promises and lies. They are sinful in they eyes of the
Al-Mighty.
Those who don't believe in God
do live with their conscience, governed by
self-discipline that creates responsibility,
courteousness, trustworthy and honesty. It would be
ashamed if we find more credibility in an atheist rather
than a man of religion.
Punctuality will not keep
people in abeyance. Fulfilling a promise creates an
atmosphere of sweet friendship.

DOCUMENT YOUR HAM
ACTIVITIES |
Clubs,
societies and individuals are advised to document
their activities, a copy of which is to be sent to
National Archive. The arrangement and the layout should
be like what is found in magazines; the instant of the
cover like the ARRL Handbook below, chapters and
introduction. All photographs and other images should be
well explained and dated. Use color laser printer to
print the documents.
The modern Amateur Radio in
Malaysia began with the birth of license B hams. This
modern history should began with the idea and the fight
for the new class. If MARTS does not have this
historical perspective the authority, MCMC, should force
person responsible to prepare the complete documentation
of the events.
100 years is a short time. People
who have live more than 70 years never felt they have
live that long. We don't want our posterity to be blind
on the history, the events and activities of the hobby
in this country. Your pictures may be nothing to you now
but will be very useful and valuable in the coming
years.
The present generation do not know
the games we used to play-chasing kites and hunting for
fighting fish. They don't know the trees we used to
climb, the kote mamak fruit, the buah gorah, the pokok
pudak, pokok nona and much more. They don't know the
type of hawkers coming to peddle various kind of foods
in our kampong. And more so, they don't know how close
the Malays and the Chinese were.
Efforts to pass the present to the
future generation is called civilization building. It
shows we care about our future. Only if you know how the
illuminati and the Jews planned for the far future, you
will realize how backward can we be. Theirs were
detailed and very profound.
Zaki, 9M2ZAK, has thrown a thought
of preparing a documentation of the CQDX World Wide
Contest at Hairies's house. That's indeed a very
encouraging idea. Once published and perused the feeling
of achievement and joy will transpire more effort and
interest to systematized our activities.
If there is no taker, I expect a
few individuals to think hard about it, a thought how to
gather useful information for the future generation.

BN STRATEGIES FOR
GE14
There is nothing unlawful for
BN to instruct it's machinery to prepare for the next
General Election. And I find it a real fun to observe
how they work. Money has started to roll out buying as
many as opposition members are possible. The
parliamentary debate is exploited to show how good and
honest BN is. Religious teachers are engaged to hate PAS
on the radio. They poke someone to suggest the 12 year
car life, then BN came to the rescue saving the people.
The PAS-UMNO unity talk is more serious to discuss
issues threatening the Muslims to weaken PAS-DAP unity
and to break PKR completely.
The ulama is telling about
sectarian conflicts in other Islamic countries, the
value of peace in the country, the flourish of Islam in
Malaysia to convince the people that BN ensure peace and
stability. Voting opposition will cause killings as what
is happening in the Middle East.
The early marching is not
without fear. The defeat at Sungai Limau showed the the
failure of BN's full enforcement. If they do not step up
the effort the defeat would put some people in the deep
dungeons. Since Sabah and Sarawak gave life to BN, Najib
has to show his concern over the welfare of the Sabahans.
Either Sabaha or Sarawak should demand the Premiership
to be given to either the Sabahan or Sarawakian. And
from my point of view the Sabahans were the most
cheated.
Would pillars of evil disappear
from people's mind with the strong BN's campaign ?
People with strong character won't forget the missing
millions of PKZ, NFC, Perwaja Steel, indelible ink and
billions paid free to the contractors of Mahathir's
cronies. They will still question on the millions
wastage to entertain Rosmah and the abuse of power in
dealing of public funds, the failure to manage drugs and
crimes.
Just erect the pillar in our
mind, we will not be swayed by ongoing lies and
deceptions.
It is indeed sad and a tragedy
for the Malays who prefer to be slaves, kicked and
cheated. They are happy to live in a small abode in
flats, pay more for goods, services and commodities,
hunting for money in the garbage bins. One man said to
me,"Never mind about the millions they grabbed. They
can't eat more than we do..." UMNO has the Ustaz to say
never mind and the Felda guys to say the same thing.
We tell UMNO to repent, said
sorry for the errors made. Nay, they said. They did no
wrong. Corruption and failures and the lost money are
better than the Christian country. Malaysia is a
peaceful country. If the Christians take over worst
things will be happening.
Instead they continue to
swagger, approving what is not legal, taxing people
quietly and each day pulling the Malays down the abyss.
Even the Malays in Johor is being pushed away for
Iskandar.

ARRL Handbook is an excellent book for hams. Mine is the 1977 version. What is advertised is the 2014 version. I believe with the book as a reference Malaysian hams will not be in conflict with each other again. The old hams called ARRL Handbook a bible for amateur radio. Use just any word, a Mantra or a Guru, it is a book for us. If you have a friend going to USA ask them to buy one for you. Radio books are available in most bookstores at any Super Market/ Malls. |

IS HAM RADIO THAT
GREAT ?
What amazed most people in the years
before the cell-phone and the internet were known, was
that private individuals can communicate with people
across the globe. Mobile phone was considered a new
phenomena and we have to pay a considerable amount to
own first production.
The pride of those hams were they
could master Morse codes, which not everyone could
acquire, and transmitters were homebrewed. There were no
ham equipments in the market in the early days. RTTY
were using a big noisy machines which could be found in
the junk stores. I remember buying one for about RM50
and homebrewed the interface. The highest the old hams
achieved was the SSTV.
In the early '80s PC started.
Communication soft wares like the IRC and MIRC began
without voice. It was a very interesting mode where the
whole world meet. Today internet gives us everything;
visual communication with extreme clarity of voice and
image, which from the edge of the globe could be
seen and heard at our home.
And now knowledge is in abundance. We
can follow live lectures by Professors from overseas
universities, learn sciences and
history, watching
movies and live events. The magnificence of computer and
internet is beyond description.
Yet I find people who praise ham
radio as a source of everything, when it can't provide
even 5% of the computer ability. I was asked what I have
learned from ham radio. My answer was I learned about
people and a little of their culture. I learned the
different between the old and the new hams; their
thinking and attitudes. Try to monitor the ham band and
draw out what you can learn from the communication.
I can't say how many percents of the
Malaysians hams are on computer rather than the radio,
and how many percent of their time spent on each. It is
easier to find a ham on the facebook and yahoo rather
than on the radio. I believe the same situation applies
to the rest of the world's ham operators. Those who
totally left ham radio parked themselves at computer
communication soft wares.
It is the human psychology that
attract some people to the radio; the crave to be a DJ,
wanting to have their voiced heard by the public on the
air. It is the awareness that people are monitoring to
them made them feel so great and satisfying.
That's the reason why I suggested
that SARES and MARES to do a lot of training on First
aid and rescue procedure, learning knots and bandages
and mouth to mouth respiration. The radio is a mere
communication tool, not a magic wand. They must not have
a belief that holding a handy gives them a super energy
that comes from Krypton.
The most significant progress of ham
equipment is it's transformation into SDR stuff that can
process incoming signal to the best quality the normal
radio could not do. It is a quantum leap of technology,
so much so the past knowledge of radio electronics is
left far behind, nearing a total fading.
No doubt Ham Radio is a good hobby
and interesting but it does not possess the power
of Thor.

PERSONAL TASTE
Would I beg
or force someone to like or talk to me ? Surely I would
not. That is his preference and taste. Similarly on the
radio band. You can't complaint why the 9M seldom go to
2 meter. Some do and some don't. They might feel more
comfortable to stay away from the band.
But as
usual, the non-matured and people of non-cultured class
will start to create stories base on their own
perception and sentiments. It was amazing how they
derive at a conclusion for my staying on 7.043. In fact
I am planning to disappear myself from 40 meter when the
time comes and start my venture on 80. I have never work
80 since I became a ham.
No two
individuals have the identical form of taste.
USA and
Israel would not give face to countries they presume as
rogue and having rogue leaders. They reject both North
Korea and Iran's right to do what they like to their
countries. Iran and North Korea insist on their own
right, and free to do what they like. USA enforced
sanctions on both of them.
Would we
force our will on others ? Even how right you think your
thought is you can't point a gun on a person's head to
accept your ideas. Pulling the trigger will not solve
the problem. We all remember what American President
said about the better world. "The world will be better
without Saddam Hussein." Then "The world will be better
without Osama". Then "The world will be better without
North Korea." Will it end ? It won't unless everyone
submits.
There is no
different between my belief and my stand with those of
North Korean, Iran or the Afghans. One speaks on area of
ham radio, the other on politics and nationalism. To me
radio is not merely a simple hobby, it represents a
nation. It hoists the flag of a race, creed and
nationality.
Many hams
around the world have been running to find a peaceful
place with people of similar wavelength. I heard CW
stations being disturbed by rouge specie, probably by
hams, because those CWes refused to go on SSB, running
away from no-code hams. They were trying to force the
rest to go on SSB just because they can't do Morse. If
it can happen in the Western hemisphere, it can happen
here too.
Utopia is a
dream. A society of cultured people is a dream too. You
can't recognize people anymore by their face and words,
by their dress or titles. You can somewhat feel them by
their bad or repugnant behaviors, their attitudes
towards rules and laws, their pomposity and swaggering.
Those who
shot people wear innocent faces, speak good words. Those
who peddle drugs are friendly and sportive. Those who
plunder your money will show they are fighting for the
people's welfare. They are right here among amateur
radio community.
Someone has
to bear the responsibility for any vices and avarices,
the failures and inefficiencies. But none would want to
admit as if there was nothing happen. You see this in
NFC, PKZ, Perwaja Steel, Bank Bumiputera and the spiral
inflation. You will see the same things repeated by
other agencies and Ministries.
They wait
for the total chaos. Then they blame the citizens.

A MAN WITH A
CONSCIENCE
Less than 1 year old, my Viva
was defaced on several parts. I didn't know who knocked
the back and when. There were several scratches which I
think could be due to the quick wash machine. I just
ignored it. What happened outside the car won't affect
my driving. I felt comfortable inside. But the Produa
lady was surprise at the condition of my car when I took
it for servicing.
The day before yesterday
somehow the left side of the body kissed and embraced
the back side of a huge parking 4 X 4. Thinking it was
minor I continued to drive until I reached my
destination. I took a look at the body. The scratch was
long and too bad. I decided this time I must take it for
painting to hide from severe ugliness.
I passed through a workshop
'Knocking and Painting' and stopped by. There was a man
washing a car part. I told him of the scratch and asked
him to have a look. He said he need to do the bumper
work too. He could do it there and then but I need to
wait for several hours. I suggested the next day ( ie
today ). He agreed. The shop opened at 9.30 am.
This morning after buying
breakfast for my wife and having my usual breakfast at
the usual restaurant I drove to the workshop. The man
was there. I told him I need to know the price. "RM280,"
he said. I showed him my surprise for thinking it costs
only RM150. He insisted on his price because he had to
adjust the bumper. Seeing that the deface was quite
serious, I agreed. He sent me home and took the car with
him, promising to send back at 6 pm.
Today is a dialysis day for my
wife. I used my old Kancil to transport her to the
dialysis center. At 12.45 pm she was called in. I
estimated the completion would be at 5 pm. At 3.30 pm I
went out for my daily exercise. One and fifteen
minutes later I went to pick her up my , bought her some
dinner and went home.
As soon as she was inside the
house and having her dinner the workshop man rang me up
saying he is on his way to send back the car. Several
minutes later he arrived. I jumped into the driver's
seat, took out the money and gave him, asking him to
count . The distant is about 2 or 3 kilometers away. The
traffic was very heavy. I talked to him about Alor Setar
before and Alor Setar now; about traffic jam, food and
the astronomical property prices.
He said he rented his business
space. And he told me about the danger of foodstuffs
that contain oil and starch when I told him about the
strong Chinese ladies at the jogging track.
Finally we arrived at his
place. "Thank you," said I. He took out RM30 and gave
back to me. I refused to take it because I found the job
was well done and I was happy with it. He went out, put
the money on the seat, thanking me ,and close the door.
How could UMNO people made me
think bad about the Chinese ? He didn't have to return
the thirty ringgit to please me. I am not a Datu' or a
wealthy man. He just finally strike a balance between
his survival and the reasonableness of the charge.
A conscientious man does not
born out of a special race. The citizens can make
judgment on the politicians and their wives and
siblings, whether they are good or bad, conscientious or
not.
This mechanic has some good
conscience in himself.

TRAVELING THE WORLD FOR SOMETHING |
I know of a man who would travel
the world over for a song in the native language. The
song was Besame Mucho. At hotels or night clubs he would
request for the song and recorded it.
Another man traveled for the best
tasty halal food. He can talk about it for hours and it
was interesting to hear his story. Since he is now
staying in Kuala Lumpur, he has tasted all the best food
and had gone to the best restaurants.
Later I developed a small portion
of the taste traveling for food. But it was for the same
kind from different countries, namely Briyani. Except
for the visit in USA I would hunt for Long John, sea
food restaurant. Once I tasted the long desired
delicacy, the Red Lobster.
Briyani was easily found in London
and New York because the restaurants ere clustered at
one single point. The best so far was from Hong Kong,
second went to Australia. They are tastier than the
Malaysian cooking.
Yet there are people who travel to
sleep with women and then boast of their experiences
with the world's women, to which I would say travel in
search of HIV.
Of all food is the best. The
Muslims can still hunt for the best Halal food from the
world over, or at worse food free of pork or pork
products. They could always feel relief at food shops
served by the Jews. In term of religious and common
sense the Jews are always better than the Christians.
I remember when I was in Hawaii
where I didn't know where the Muslim's restaurant was, I
usually went to Alamoana Center for meal. There were Tai
and Chinese food. There were fried rice and fried mee.
They were serve with pork. I went to Mexican and Spanish
stalls and asked for pork. "We don't sell pork here,"
came the reply. So I purchase my meal from them.
With the modern GPS system it is
easy to navigate to our favorite restaurants.

WEATHER - WOULD YOU CARE ?
Malaysians are not so much
concerned about the weather. Either we have rain or hot
and dry. The concern on weather is when they intend to
travel North like China, Japan, Korea and European
countries. They need to know what dress to bring.
I know that Summer is about
June in Northern hemisphere and December would be the
opposite. Yet one must know what's the temperature like
in Summer London. I always know that Winter Los Angeles
would be about 15 Celcius. And I know pretty well how it
feels at 15 degrees.
Malaysians are more worried of
flooding during wet season and water shortage when it is
dry. The water catchment areas had been raped for condos
and expensive houses. Such calamities have always been
exploited by the politicians to blame their
political opponents for the cause of flooding and the
shortage of water.
Citizens are called to recycle
rain water and to reduce car washing when it dries. VIPs
and Ministers would not suffer as what the citizens are
into. Rakyat diutamakan untuk menghadapi musibah.
We too are concerned about haze. Some big guys escaped
by going overseas for vacation. The citizens are paying
RM1.50 for a face mask. Hawkers are worried about rain.
Our water crisis is not due to
dryness but it is the sin of privatization. Think of
Mahathir, the king of privatization, opening public
services and utilities to cronies. And think of the
UMNO's policy on property development that raze the hill
tops to satisfy the greed for money.
Learning about the four season
is one thing, feeling them is another. Entrepreneurs
built a Winter House where those who want to experience
cold weather could pay to feel the cold air. Else people
make a trip to Korea and Japan in Winter.
California 15 degrees with
bright sun shine was a lovely weather for me. Short pan
and T-Shirt made me comfortable enough. But daylight is
short during Winter. 5 pm could be very dark. And when
win blew it chilled the inner bones.
The heat in Summer could kill
people in some places. We feel like living near the
oven. There were heat waves at some part of Saudi Arabia
as hot as the American Midwest.
For travelers and people who
plan to go for holidays within or outside the country
they must find out about the weather at the place of
destinations. Malayan East Coast could be at the mercy
of Typhoon and the strong easterlies.
UMNO Ministers are always
protected from the hostile or severe weathers for they
claimed they are God's party. Would they care about
whatever weather, water source and flood ?

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS ON UNEMPLOYED GRADUATE TEACHERS
In
fact I have discussed with my Chinese friends
about the problem of raising the retirement age.
The government added 5 more years means those
young people have to wait for 5 more years
before they can get employed. There were nurses
going to private nursing colleges too are
waiting for vacancies.
Would you blame the government or the current
workers ?

IMMIGRATION
AND FOREIGNERS
We have immigrants from
all over; China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Bangladesh
and the Philippines. I knew of Bangladeshi with
fake passport could enter Malaysia via KLIA. And
I was informed by a local maid agent that she
paid to make her work easy. Already there are
foreigners in our localities who have been
residing here for many years. We believe of
financial link between them and the government
officers.
The business is lucrative.
We all know the failure of
NFC and the business shifted to condos. Auditors
do not simply things out of the thin air. Yet
you see how Shahrizat's husband and she herself
fought as if they didn't do anything wrong.
The police advertised of
the lowering of the crime rates. Najib says he
is fighting corruptions. Shahidan says Rosmah
has the right to ride the Executive Jet.
They fought to deny. But I say they are cheating
themselves, dragging the nation down.

THE TAX YOU
CANNOT ESCAPE
Income tax could be evaded but not the tax you
pay when you buy things. Call it by any name,
you pay as you buy. Unless you decide to produce
food by yourself. The natives in the deep jungle
would pay the least tax, only when they buy for
consumption.
There are people who aren't happy when their tax
money went to Rosmah's expenditure or to
Shahrizat's husband. And they want the police to
keep them safer with the money they paid.
The government got the money from it's citizen
and from God. Petroleum is God's given. Both are
for the whole population. The fairness of the
distribution and a wise usage will not be
questioned by the people.
GST or sales tax, corporate or income taxes are
for the governance of the country. It is not for
Mahyuddin to decide to whom the money were to be
given. But he did, to Shahrizat's husband and
for Rosmah's flight expenditure.
Or else let us propose that the government
should only tax BN supporters.

SALUTING 9M2SM |
MARES, SARES AND JPAM |
GOING QRT ? |
Time, money and energy were put in to get the
group together for the CQ Worldwide DX Contest. All were
for the spirit of ham radio. More so it was fun.
I monitored DX stations in the
contest. What excite me were a few stations went back at
about 10 - 12 wpm. At that slow speed they won't be able
to catch up with big points. But I knew they were there
not to win. Giving support in participating is healthy
enough.
I don't know whether any living
Malaysian hams today were so enthusiastic to sacrifice
for such an event. I knew Eshee was one of those active
participating in CW contest but he went alone. So was I.
The effort of 9M2SM is
commendable. From my point of view it placed Malaysia as
a cultured class. It is the CW itself. Only the other
day I heard a 85 year old man rag chewing with a 23 year
old youth in Morse codes.
I salute 9M2SM and the crews
for flying our national flag and it made Malaysia proud.

JPAM is an official government
organization for emergency, search and rescue. They are
paid to do the job. MARES and SARES are private bodies.
There shall be no conflict between
the three as to the procedure and the process of
operation. The line of duty has been laid clearly. MARES
and SARES must know them so that they will not step over
the head of respective units.
The public and the government are
concerned of public safety and security. Disaster area
has always been cordoned to avoid thefts and robberies.
Hence the private voluntary bodies must make sure the
memberships are of people of splendid reputation,
honest, having integrity and trustworthy.
To be of substance both MARES and
SARES must understand they are not merely to provide
communication support. They have to know first aid, the
art of rescuing and survival skill. JPAM are trained and
undergo regular exercise.
MARES and SARES members must
undergo the rescue and first aid course from time to
time. It won't be enough relaxing in the armchairs
checking net and having chats on the band days in and
days out.
May I ask what sort of curriculum
is followed by both of the private organization ? If
they haven't any it is a high time to draw one to cover
all required skills and knowledge. They have to know the
knots, mouth to mouth resuscitation, and bandage
methods. In short rescue is more than holding a hand
held. And they must abide by the set rules.
25/11/2013 |
Could I be a good ham when not
using QRT at all in my regular communication ? Below are
some of the samples usage:
"Gentlemen, I got to make this
my final. Thank you very much....9M2ZZZ, this is 9M2AR,
signing and listening for all final..."
"Rusli,
the band is very noisy. Let's call it a day. Thanks for
the chat..."
"It's time now.I have to go
gentlemen. See you all again...."
None of the samples above
mention QRT. I figure people who don't use it in
telephony must be very stupid, like myself.
Really I found it difficult even to use QRU as
much as QRT. The one I commonly used before QTH has been
transformed to 'location' -'My location is Alor Setar'
and QSL too has changed to Affirmative.
How about QRX ? I do use it at a specific point of
time to tell someone to stand-by, to hold on for a
minute, until I call back again, when my wife called me
for something or when I am to quickly attend to
something else. I never tell myself to QRX but to tell
the others. Still to use plain language is better for it
does not create confusion.
I am of a view that the Q-Code should not be a part
of RAE. It should be a part of CW test. When
people are too smart and too clever, they want people to
know that they are expert. They keep on using things
even more than the ship to shore messages.
25/11/2013 |
INTERRUPTING AND
JOINING CONVERSATION
I think it is a high time for hams
to recognize between interrupting and joining a
conversation.
When two stations are in deep
discussions over a certain topic like the
preparations for an examination by the kids, it is not
wise for us to sending message that we want to join the
conversation. I have much experience of a foreign
station who understand our language, breaking in. He
gave his name, our signal report, weather and passed the
transmission back to me. Passing back and forth made us
forget our topic. Not only that it would be very awkward
for me to continue with the topic with another station
in. He didn't add nor contribute to the topic in
discussion. I would call in interrupting.
Can't you interrupt at all ? You
can. You may have something emergency or probably need a
quick report for the newly fixed antenna. Get the report
and the info and asked those stations to continue.
On the other hand those two
stations may be talking about camera and both are not
well verse with the terms and the gadgets themselves,
you can break in to join them. You can tell them more of
the kind of camera, the art and technique of using them
and providing much more information. The topic can be
general and not of personal matters will not cause any
interruption. You join the conversation.
Mention your call sign between a
pause, usually when one station is passing the
transmission to the other. It is to be full call sign.
Remember this is not a pile up or a contest.
What you may hear from the
international stations may not be right at all. To copy
the practice is never a welcome. Foreign stations were
heard to use CB lingi and style in passing transmission.
A few you may not hear call signs at all.

NEVER SIMPLY TRUST
PEOPLE
The killer acted good when he
first applied for the job. He showed good behavior,
punctual and obedient to gain trust and confidence. He
was praised. So were all other hypocrites in amateur
radio or in other disciplines. The planned was to rob a
bank and to escape with the money.
I learned how to distrust
people a long time ago as I saw bad people in white
dress, behaving like angels when they want something
from you. And quickly turned their backs once they get
what they want. Even your friends can stab your back.
Should the employer learned
a hard way about employing staffs or stick with the
policy and procedure set by the rules ?
I saw how the British
immigration officers dealt with foreigners who were
about to enter Britain from Calais France. About 14
Malaysian tourists from my group were rejected at the
immigration points. They were very strict and as fierce
as a tiger, not allowing a single of us to near the
rejected Malaysians.
Our kindness, laziness,
stupidity and 'tidak apa' that brought in thousands of
criminals in our country; thieves and murderers. The
import of Africans were due to avarice and greed. Didn't
we know the probable consequences ? They prey on people
in Europe, Saudi Arabia and now in Malaysia.
If you are somebody big, a lot
of people will come to seek your favor. They will put on
innocent faces, talk lowly with full of courtesy, bow
and nod their heads always in agreement with you. It is
a grave mistake to trust and assume they are all of good
people.
Never trust anyone but
yourself. Innocent face, soft spoken and docile look
will not tell who a person is.
Most of us fall to the lies
and deception. We chose wrong leaders to lead us. Then
they stole millions and got away with their crimes. You
will pay for the lost money through your teeth.
