Generalization
While a
Muslim is asked to believe and obey the
words of God at the same time we are made to
be aware the greatest gift of God, the brain
that mankind is commanded to give an utmost
care, not to pollute and intoxicate it, and
Allah is always the merciful of all. I hope
the great Al-Mighty will forgive for what I
am going to say here if I have caused any wrong.
First it is
about the conception of the Jews. Could we
say more than 98% of the Muslims would say
that all Jews are bad, inhumane and
therefore must be destroyed ? I asked
several friends why they condemed the Jews
so much and the reply was 'it is stated the
Quaran'. I said no more.
Vaguely I
remember my religious teacher narrated about
our Holly Prophet Mohammed gave protection
to a Jew. I believe there is something else
that we do not know beneath the hidden
context of the Quaran.
One of our
lecturers was a Jewish lady. There were
several Muslims in the class, the Egyptian
and the Nigerians. The first day the
lecturer told us where to get the Kosher
meat. Kosher meat is the meat slaughtered by
the Jews. Muslims can always eat such a meat.
She treated us well like any other person.
Then during the fasting months she gave us a
break for our breakfast when the time
arrived. We could feel her kindness when we
were invited to her house for delicious
meal.
Generalization is a fallacy.
The Malays
were once generalized as stupid, lazy,
cannot learn mathematics and sciences. So
much so they believe in their own inaptness,
can never excel in mathematic s and
sciences.
Discriminations and prejudices are dangerous
diseases that degrade mankind into savagery
and destroys civility. We propagate wars,
killings and oppressions.
Likewise the
other side should not regard all Muslims are
terrorists. Mahathir once believe the
religious schools are places where
terrorists were bred.
You notice
that people who think they are powerful and
superior tend to make sweeping and
generalize statements. Of corse angry people
are ruled by emotion and sentiment. I myself
generalize UMNO people are dumb, stupid and
bad, not knowing the numbers who are not in
favor of Rosmah and corruptions.
Once in a
while it is just fair and reasonable to look
deeper to see reality.
Even the
phenomena of Illuminati needs scrutinization.
It may not fit to our believe and culture,
it is worth while to learn the philosophy
laid to be perused. United States's founding
Fathers were of illuminati group that laid
down the principles for the growth and
progress of the nation.
In the old
Malaysia education system a subject called
Logic was taught to the sixth formers to
provide them with a basic thinking skill. It
could lead to the development of a mature
mind and good ethics and attitude.
We should be
educated not to generalize and believe what
we hear without a detailed and vigorous
investigation.

GANGSTERISM DOES NOT PAY
Hooliganism and
gangsterism invite an immense hatred and
anger. What more if a politician is seen a a
head of a Mafia group. Graduate ministers do
not seem to use their intellect in doing
things, instead of upholding law and order
they advocate criminal act. And the use of
hoodlums and hooligans to intimidate
opposition leaders and other barbaric act
made people despise the party.
I knew the
independent would all lose their deposits in
Gelugor. Lucky the two Malays got a few
hundred votes. Their association with the
UMNO's mobs should earn them less than the
number of mobsters.
Ramkarpal won.
His father was harassed by BN and the court
altered the previous not-guilty verdict. It
satisfied the UMNO members but it was a
great injustice and insult to the other
party. The idiotic Noordin did not even
respect a dead man. If Karpal had opposed
Hudud, there were no less coming from
Mahathir, Mashitoh and Ustaz Kazim.
Dirty habits
could have come from dirty parents and rogue
grand parents. They planted false evidence
and manufactured the non-existing thing
against Anwar, threw him in jail because of
his ingratitude towards Mahathir and UMNO,
created clips and pictures to assassinate
characters. And now they are targeting the
young lady.
It is indeed
true what Mahathir said about UMNO; the
smart ones are out of UMNO leaving the
half-fast six people managing the stupid
kampong folks through lying and deception.
Putting bikini pictures in a mosque is bad
enough; Dyana or not. Even it is forbidden
in the vicinity of the Holy Place. Such an
act will reflect Najib in the mind of the
people. UMNO can go to any extent once
emotion rule.
Najib's high
income and developed nation won't benefit
the general public. Every damn price of
goods and commodities in the super market
climbs up. Price of a decent home has
nearing a million.
Corruption will
never die because it starts from the top.
Money given for BRIM is called for the
exchange with votes. This was clearly stated
by an UMNO lawmakers to people who did not
give their votes to BN after the BRIM. If
the head corrupts how could we expect the
officers below not to corrupt.
UMNO is calling
for Malay support especially from PAS for
it's survival. When I met an UMNO members I
would ask "Do you want Malay unity ? ".
"Join PAS then." was my reply.
Teluk Intan
will speak the loudest. And if Sarawak goes
UMNO will surely be buried alive.
A party sent by
God should not breed gangsterism and
hooliganism, playing sex movies for public
viewing, put bikini pictures in a Holy Place
and make people suffer unnecessarily. The
party has disgrace the Malays and Islam.
BN could learn
a lot from Dyana. Despite the attack on her
she kept so cool and gave intelligent
replies. Even her mother was quick to reply
to Mahathir that she was trying to bring up
Dyana, breeding her to be Mukhriz but what
could she do when she turned out to be
Marina. Like mother like daughter. And Lim
Guan Eng, like father like son. Najib is
always a good man but he seems to be under
the influence of an invisible domestic
power. But in any case he should stop the
rowdiness and hooliganism among the UMNO
supporters. Otherwise he would be accused of
being a part of the movement.
If UMNO thinks
that it has done a lot to the people, it
does not need to hire hooligan or to
threaten the voters as what what Zahid had
done to the Rela group in Telok Intan. It
doesn't need high expenditure in the
campaign trail. It doesn't need to seek sex
or pornography to win the election. Somehow
the masses will vote for the party.

PITY
THE YOUNG PEOPLE
Young people who went for computer course
had always thought they were the smartest. I
remember a few ITM student programmers
came to my school to sell their soft wares
they developed. I showed them the
applications that we have been using for
years and I heard plenty of remarks. I asked
them if theirs were better I would buy from
them. They admitted ours were better.
Those who learn graphics using several
sophisticated soft ware were happy in making
effects.
The best of the Malaysian graphic arts and
animators could not produce what we have
seen in movies like Narnia or Transformers.
They can make you be in the movies acting as
if you were there when all the time you are
sleeping in bed at home.
With the little knowledge they started to
show off, making fake pictures and clips
hoping to be handsomely awarded till they
grow 50. The sad thing is when they involved
themselves in politics that is heading
towards their destruction.
In the Face Book there had been many UMNO
supporters. One was fond of throwing slur on
Anwar before the GE13. Bad words were used
on the opposition party. When he went too
far I commented about the future of the
Malays who will become beggars in their own
land and hunting garbage for a living. He
responded saying 'I will never be a beggar'.
I also said that after the election the
citizens will suffer and PM will continue to
deceive the people.
After GE13 and prices of goods went up he
was away for some time and later he was seen
again but now with different tone. He
mentioned about being broke and had to
struggle for a living.
These were the young men being poisoned by
UMNO. These are the Malays whole land is
facing a very rapid reduction. MCA is
getting the upper hand on the property
business. Now they can't afford to own one
of those bungalows. Prices are near to a
million.
I am very convince they will be having
problems with their kids, schooling and
education. School leavers have to spend more
than RM20K a year for private education.
The young people who worked for UMNO by
faking facts and pictures created a big sin
that can never be forgiven. Hooliganism and
gansterism had never brought the Malays as a
respected race. Instead they will be hated
more and more;
It is true that Malaysia is not Thailand nor
Egypt nor Syria. It is also true that UMNO
is not the only the best thinker. And it is
also true uncertainty can always strike. The
unthinkable can wipe us devastatingly.

THOMAS CUP AND LEE CHONG WEI
It was a
painful march to Thomas Cup 2014. Malaysian
government had put the utmost effort to
bring the local talents and sought the best
coach to shape up a good team. A good team
is not the team that will bring back the
prestigious cup but who had given their full
focus to winning the game.
All other teams
have shown much improvement and are getting
better. Japan emerged as a giant killer,
taming the Favorite China.
I could not
narrate much on the matches for I do not
subscribe to ASTRO which I dumped when the
fee increased, I did not read the newspapers
because they were too bias and contain lies.
I watch the game while having dinner at
coffee shops and restaurants, but not the
complete matches.
The lanky Danes
scared me. Their long arms gave them
advantage and their smash were fatal.
Winning in 2014 Thomas Cup was in the state
of the mind with the almost equaled skill.
That was what Chong Wei's remarked on
Darren's losses.
Lee Chong Wei
is a more than a player. You need to know
and dissect his mind. Let the young learn
from his thought. To me he is far better
than Rashid Sidek yet he showed much respect
to his coach. If he had cared what ISMA,
PERKASA and UMNO hoodlums said about the
Chinese, he would not have put his full
effort and mind to strive hard in every
match.
We should let
the legends live. The current generation may
not know Tan Aik Huang and Eddy Chong. They
may not know Ghani Mehad, Mahat Embu dan Soh
Chin Aun. And they may not heard of M
Jegadesan and Rajamni. It looks like we
don't have time for those legends. We only
show interest in them if they could bring us
political benefit.
Malaya is a
small country that glitters a bright light
in the world. Nicole and Chong Wei are the
current National Treasure. They brought
honor and respect to us.

PANDA
RENTAL
A man with a
two wives is a great master of deception. He
brought a piece of cloth to one wife,
presented her with it and said he loves her
dearly." It is unfair of you. You must also
buy for the other sister." "No. I bought
only for you. I did not love the other one
at all but you."
Then he went to
the second wife, presented her with a
clothing of different design and said,"
Here's one for you. I didn't buy for your
sister. I only love you so much and so
dearly."
Our cordial friendship
with USA has been very long and the closest
was in 1960's when the United States sent it's
covert force to defense Malaysia against
Sukarno's threat of Ganyang Malaysia. We are so very
oblige to the United States and we confirmed
our stand to Obama during his visit. We
can't say for sure how happy we were when
the MH370 went missing if it was due to the
technology transfer.
At the same
time we can't afford to antagonize the
Chinese including the locals. Najib's
position could be shaken witrh the
anti-Chinese sentiments. UMNO has shown this
sentiment immediately after the GE13. Panda is some sort
of an illicit love affair, to show the close
relationship with the Chinese. 37 million
dollars is never an expensive amount to
retain and gain popularity. It would appease
the local Chinese as well. Would the Chinese
believe in Najib and UMNO ?
To Najib he is
playing a win-win game.
To his
adversary it is just like a prostitute who
sleeps with everyone around for money. After
all Christian Keller and Matahari were
prostitutes who served their political
master well.
Ahmad Masalan
argued that Panda rental would help the
Malaysians as they don't have to go to China
to see the animal. To him those who visited China
would go to see Panda. I doubt even 1% of
Malaysian visitors visited the zoo..
Her facial
feature is as cute as Panda. This is what
that scared UMNO that has to resort to
gangsterism to intimidate her. Samseng has
been the culture of UMNO who think they can
get away with. Would the local Chinese
forget what UMNO had said 'without the
Chinese BN can still survive' with the Panda
stun ?

DYANA - A BLESS FOR THE
MALAYS
We don't
educate human being to do evil deeds and to
think evil stuffs. We don't educate them to
be hooligans, drug peddlers, cheaters and
liars. We want our people to be responsible,
honest, sincere and be useful to all
mankind. After giving education we expect a
new generation with a free and creative mind
to serve the country for the benefit of all.
A famous UMNO man, Dr Mahathir, does not
have all the perfect children who are of his
stature. And even Najib does not do and
think like his great father.
Only the Mafia
group who sent their children to the law
schools with the hope their illegal
activities could be protected. Yet who knows
how many of their sons had advise them to
give up bad jobs and turn their focus on
other legal businesses. Let us ask our
Education minister the objective of our
education system. I am sure he will not say
"to breed hooligans, corrupt officers and
liars'.
Dyana is in
fact a success of UITM. She sees the
different between an UMNO and the men in the
UMNO. UMNO itself is now called UMNO BARU.
When it was first formed the men behind the
masses were teachers. There was nothing else
but the nationalistic spirit within them.
Mahathir slowly replaced them with business
communities. And if we see Tengku Abdul
Rahman, Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Abdul Razak, Dr
Mahathir and Najib they are not the same.
Spending under Tun Tan Siew Sin and spending
under PM Najib are totally different. Nobody
but Mahathir and Daim mentioned about
Najib's wastage. Those words fell on the
deaf ears. Najib kept on spending lavishly
and probably his spouse too.
Instead Najib
used millions of dollars to pay to get
support and say his system is the best among
all the Prime Ministers. And billions went
missing; the PKZ, the lost jet engines, and
failed projects. Mahathir would have wasted
more; the demise of Bank Bumi, PERWAJA, MAS
and more.
If you are
given money to say 'Never mind...' at those
evil deeds, you must be a real hoodlums.
Dyana is not. She can't change everything.
But the people can. The people must support
her to send a warning that the continued
misuse of power will not escape punishment.
Mubarak was jailed for three years.
It is pity the
tactic deployed by UMNO in using hooligans
or they made themselves hooligans in their
rouge behaviors. These people will never go
scot-free when the time comes.

DECEIVING THE YOUNG
When you are
born in the world of Cocaine and Shabu you
won't find anything strange. How could you
tell those eople the evil of the killer
drugs to this generation ? Lies, gay
marriage and corruptions are becoming the
norm in some parts of the world. Religion
has become a political tool. The Jews
claimed land extending from Judea to Sumeria
because their holly book says so.
Religious clerics worshipping Satan who
stuffed them with money have been on the
raise in Malaysia and other countries. Each
day you hear the new law of God from them
known as 'fatwa'. The lifted themselves
above the Holly Prophets and the Angels of
God and went on to call women who protested
against GST as prostitutes. Leaders use
money to corrupt the people using various
pretensions and guises. There is no feeling
of guilt, for evils are angels to
them. These are the norms of the day,
nothing strange and nothing to lament
about..
However history
has shown us that the tradition of goodness
survived in the norm of evil. Communism had
been in the Soviet Union for centuries where
religions were persecuted. It would have
been completely vanished. Yet after the fall
of the Soviet government we saw religion
began to surface. The numbers were still
significant. The very long years of brain
washing failed.
People with
conscience and under consciousness live
side by side with people without, one with regret and sadness, the
other without even an atom of it. They are lifeless.
Somehow we are
living in such a world where the authority
will wronged you when there are thefts in
your house, mosquitoes in your village, your
bags are being snatched and when your kids
are being kidnapped. It is a simplified
version of a job, just create and enforce the law to shed
away
responsibilities. You were also wronged at
the the rising cost of living in
despite the increase in petrol
price and the raising electrical tariffs.
Soon we will find criminals who will sue you
for causing hurt on them, house breakers
will win the case if you knock him with
a bat while breaking into your homes. Now
comes the age where people are asked to
accept corruptions and repression as the
will of God, fated by the fatalistic
providence.
Once we despise
the institution of kingship because of it's
absolute power and it was hereditary. Today
even without it the similarity of the ruling
party to the old system were almost
identical. The leaders seem to inherit from
fathers to sons or from the family members.
Whoever is holding power will rule like
a despotic king of the ancient times. They
forget who they were and claimed that they
gave life to the people. Without them people
would still be using the pit hole toilets. As they gave life and the
modern toilets they have the right to
plunder the nation's wealth, divide among
friends and spend in whatever ways they
desire.
Those who live
long enough to compare the changes and the
affect on human values would very well know
how futile and folly of our leaders with
their deceptive efforts. They stepped on
the Malays in the name of helping them. One
gain a million, the other thousands
are losing their
future, losing the ability of buying homes
and land, losing the water catchment areas,
shrinking farm land dragging them to
laziness and pushing deep into the abyss of economic
hardship.
Today I went to
a steel shop to mend my wheelchair. "I don't
have workers," said the Towkey."I can't do
it for you." My friend asked him what had
happen and he narrated about the laziness,
productivity and minimum pay. He talked
about a sheet metal that he had to pay 100%
more. Prices is on the raise everyday. Business
is hard. My friend agreed. Workers in
another workshop also played truant, demand
for minimum pay which the owner can't afford
to pay and always ask for money. And I also
over heard on the trunk radio of workers
talking about high salaries and working
under the comfort of the air-conditioning.
Najib put on
5000% effort to convert the mind of the
young and masses using all the available
resources and weapons, hoping the new generation would see
what the government desire.
As the people
are fooled the more intelligent people is
fooling us left and right. Billions of
dollars are siphoned out via KFC, Mac Donald,
Burger King, communication and entertainment
hard ware and soft wares. Wasn't our leader
told to close down the curtain of MH370 by
the announcement that "MH370 ended up in the
Indian Ocean" ?
Why must
Malaysia be made a vortex of evil ?
Of all the
Prime Ministers only the present one made
the world knew he was very desperate to
retain power and went all out in the
international arena to gain popularity.
Dealing with Mahathir was a tough task. He didn't
even succumb to the international monetary
policy.
Australia wants our favor and showed
appreciation on Rosmah for whatever thing. Israel wants to make
sure Malaysia will not provide any form of
assistance in the development of Iranian and
Pakistani nuclear weapon. The United States
seek to close any remaining hole to block
Chinese tentacle in the region. Najib chose
to join the Club of Evil, engaging Western
consultants to set our education and
financial system. The fictitious Dorian Gray
sold his soul to evil for eternal youth. Did
Najib too sold his soul to remain in power ?
Lately evils
were seen on the Malaysian sky. It rises
through religious clerics in the form of
men. Internationally it fell to Israel's
plan to make Malaysia anti-Iran and anti
Shiite. Iran was painted as a co-worker of
Israel and going all out to destroy the
Shiiet Muslims. UMNO being a hoodlum declared
war on the sect and pointing fingers at PAS
as Shiiet supporters.
Locally the
clerics were saying that it is legal to kill
the Muslims protestors, who oppose
the government . UMNO is the part of God,
sent by God. God sent
flood to destroy those who voted for PAS.
And price increase and inflation is
predestined. They twisted words to
denounce the law of Gods. They did not
misinterpret God's words. They acted God
themselves.
The Malays are
easily deceived. The younger generation see
things in different way. To them more
important than the future is NOW. The more
activities organized for them the more they
don't realize they are being dragged into
the deceptive world. Najib handled them with
the gifts, a promise of money that will
never end.

NOSTALGIA
OF THE JOYOUS SUNDAY
Hamming in the
yester years were full of joy. Sunday used
to be the joyous. It was one of the days
when most of the local hams would be coming
on 40 meters. It was always the day when
MARTS would be having the Council meetings
on the air. There was nothing to hide.
Others would be listening and had never been
any interruption.
Several
frequencies were occupied; a group of 2 working CW or SSB, a group
of 3 and more would be chatting jovially
somewhere else. While on
other days the band start to be populated in
the evening, on Sunday hams started to come
on as early as 9 am. And all conversations
were in English even among the Malays. There
was also an extended spot where the
Malaysians were joined by the Philippines
hams. Eshee and DU6BG would be on constant
contacts. It has been a very long time that
I did not hear Bob, DU6BG. I wonder whether
he knew his friend is in a bad shape, bed-ridden and lose
his speech.
I think there
were a few groups of hams who were very
close to each other, a kind of kinship;
Idris, Tunku Archiebald, Eshee and Rajamani
were in a team and close in rank. After the
late Tunku went a silent key the spirit of
the team could no longer hold together. When
Kew and Chong left the gang fell apart. One
by one began to disappear. I was away for
further study. 9M2EG, 9M2GV, 9M2DW, 9M2AV
and a few others went silent key. Things
started to change.
It is hard to
say when was the total collapse took place.
My guessed is when the MCMC replaced Telecom
and when the license B came into picture.
There were too many pseudo-intellect hams
came into being who started to stand up by
launching vicious attacks on the old-timers.
I didn't know for what reason. There was a
chaos that led to the downfall of MARTS. The
era of 'showing off' was taking shape, of
who were knowledgeable and who were not, who
was fit to be the leaders and who were not.
A new Radio society emerge on communal line.
What is
happening on Sunday now ? I don't know. I
was told there are Sunday 40 meter net on
7.130. I did not go above 7.1 anymore I was
not allow to move beyond 7.1. And I don't even
hear old hams below 7.1 too.
I don't think
we could resurrect the joyous Sunday
anymore. Never. There are too many people
who love to transmit and passed bad
insulting remarks when people are talking.
There is no more monitoring on the part of
the authority like before when local
intruders would easily be caught and faced
the music. The situation today is beyond
description. It is best not to talk.
I have expected
the new 9Ms to revive the past by populating
the band and slowly form cohesiveness. They
too do not make themselves appear and known.
I would not know at least 30 new class A
hams. Once I was asked whether I knew so and
so, which I was not able to answer.
But there is
one thing that I know of what happen outside
the band. Hams would use their phones to
tarnish and lash another ham behind their
back, even to the extend of spreading a
character of a person throughout the nation.

WHY HUNTING GARBAGE ?
" I don't beg, steal or join UMNO to feed my
family. I looked at what people throw that I
can make money." The murmuring of the
garbage hunter could not be heard by
the passing people.
Garbage hunting could either be a part time
or a full time job. Plastic bottles and cans
are most hunted. I would wrap them in a
plastic bag, rather I prefer to put those
items outside, and the hunters would not
have to open up the plastic one by one
anymore. Usable and saleable items like old
computers, old working washing machines,
radios and electric fans, shoes and dresses
could help those people. I felt it also
helped me in getting rid of those stuffs I
don't use anymore.
Sometimes I met my old students who were
seeking my view on how to better themselves.
My quick answer had always been "Join UMNO".
I don't mean to be sarcastic or having any
element of cynicism. But that might work for
some people. BRIM isn't enough. To some I
told them to buy shop houses also through
UMNO.
To a garbage hunter who refuse to make life
easier, making a choice not to go to UMNO, I
would give him a high respect for his
principle and belief, which may not be true.
For 2000 out of 28 million men who prefer
hardship than worshipping UMNO the number
may seem very small but the staunch spirit
is tremendously high.
Anyway it is a job without a license and a
boss. They command themselves, no
instruction to follow, no threat of demotion
or punishment. They are free though with far
less income. To them there might be
fulfilling but to the children life may be
difficult. Probably they have to quit
schooling and work somewhere to help their
parents.

INDIANS SHOULD BRING CHANGES
Congress
Party has finally fallen. It is a good for a
change. The Indians can always throw the new
government if it does not serve the people
well.
That is in
India. I think the Indians should follow the
identical trend. and give 100% vote for the
opposition. Government changes in Great
Britain, USA, Australia and other countries
provided better experience to the people.
Congress Party may be the winner again.
Likewise if MIC put their full effort the
change the government here, they can
reinstate BN government again.
The Indians love GST. I think it
became a law in 2011. Congress party will
continue to push for the tax even if the new
government may scrap it. GST simplifies the
work for the government. It generates more
income and enhance GDP. Only a handful
argued against it saying what is rosy on
paper will work in a real life. Murphy's Law
will creep in.
GST does not
cause the fall of Congress Party. But it is interesting
to ask the Indians nationwide whether they
were better of with the tax system

WORDS ARE NOTHING
When a man
utters a word pay no attention to it. But
when he does something his action needs an
observation. People just say anything they
feel like saying. Yet those can impress and
drown the masses. They could hear Sukarno's
speech hours and hours on end. Revolutionary
leaders could captivate their listeners and
hypnotize them.
Actually
words are nothing and meaningless. When Bush
said 'the terrorists are jealous of our
freedom' he spoke of a non-existing
sentiment. The talk of human right and the
killings of innocent women and children do
not coincide. 'Rakyat Diutamakan' is a pure
nonsense, and even the Pro-Palestinians and
Anti-Israel slogans by the Malaysian
leaders. Those are words to paint their
goodness, care and their gentry.
Malaysian
leaders were never anti-Jews. Would they
allow Malaysians to be enlisted in Hamas or
Hezbollah group to fight against Israel ?
You can bet they won't. You may be arrested
and thrown into deep dungeons if caught
being a Hezbollah's fighters.
All the
leaders want are to be elected and remain in
power, if possible perpetually. To those who
can be easily capitalized false promises and
words are used. To the difficult ones they
would say '...make me a king, I will give
what you want...' These difficult people
will not believe in the words bet need the
proven in deeds.
In this
country the Malays have been the victims.
The leaders say something and did something
else. Each day the Malays are finding
difficulties in buying land and houses
because of the high prices. The normal folk
would not be able to purchase a half million
dollar abode. Young people in big cities
have to pay a high rental for a room.
I saw young
people struggle to find a proper education
in areas they wanted. Institutions only
accept selected few of the high achievers,
not as doctors, lawyers and engineers but as
'cookers' and other low level jobs.
Vocational schools are replaced by
vocational colleges. Private college that
offers Culinary courses charged up to RM30K
per year.
Young people
are made to live in a believing world that
there will be a great future for them, the
very high income nation for the benefit of
the young people. In the meantime they can
have pleasure with income from their parents
or following some entrepreneurial courses
somewhere. And slowly the bussiness
community are grabbing land to sell to those
guys for 1/2 to a few millions.
Politicians
and non-politicians are happily making
promises, all for the better.
Even the
followers and staunch supporters of UMNO
feel the pinch of the unfulfilled promises
when their kids have difficulties in
pursuing the desired education, and to find
a proper bridge into the world of work.
Newspapers
are regarded as toilet papers and National
news as garbage news. The agenda is to
enrich themselves. They don't care about the
plight of others and the fate of the nation.
Hence they chose to utter words that sound
nice to hear. And killed the anger by the
BRIM.
The reality
is on the ground, the daily happenings, not
on the TV news and words from the Ministers.
Look at our own homes, the number of kids
inside who will grow up for jobs and lodging
to stay. We can start to compute the future
from here and look at the trend of our
surroundings.
You hear
what they say in parliament and you see
what's happening on the ground. You will
realize that words can mean nothing.

UPS
AND DOWN
I don't know
how many never experience the ups and downs
in their lives. At one time you are
somebody. At another you are nobody. Or
could it be that we design our own fate that
sometimes we call good luck and bad luck ?
Or is it something natural and bound to
happen on a person ? It is almost impossible
to remain at the same point and level in the
ever changing world that would affect our
economy, living, culture and sentiments.
There is a yo-yo between happiness and
sadness, successes and failures, healthy and
sickness, and time we have money and time we
are are broke.
Prices and
cost of living seem to go one way, only the
upwards trend.
I have just
received my electricity bill. It is to the
level that brings me happiness, only RM63. I
used to pay RM250 when I had my
air-conditioning on. Now I disabled the
machine, a freezer in my kitchen and a mini
bar in my shack. The yo-yo in the bill
depends on my washing. The bill will be in
proportion to the frequency of the washing.
Fighting
inflation is tough for the retirees and the
jobless. There is no Union nor NGO to help
in making the ends meet. I have to cut
corners here and there. No matter how you
strain yourself in daily spending you cannot
go any lower unless you starve yourself.
The affluent
will never know how the poor suffers. And
they believe there must be poor and
uneducated and stupid masses whom they could
manipulate and deceive to prevent their
downfall and public hatred. Yet they have
their moment of anger and sadness when the
masses by the thousands went out to parade
their unhappiness that created fear among
the higher echelons that they could follow
the fate of Ghadafi who was sodomized even
after his death.
It looks
like the behavior yo-yo pattern the the fate
carved by mankind themselves. The powerful
10% decides what the rest should have. It is
a phenomena where the multi-national
companies are operating. There is no moral
obligation other than hunting for maximum
profit.
Najib lives
in the sky kingdom ( Kayangan ) where the
fairies stay. He draws and paint pictures,
creates a dream of a nation rained with
money that everyone will be wealthy. The
picture went on the invisible canvass. The
moment of the immense wealth would stay in
the sky kingdom. The people toiling the
earth find no more earth to toil, and before
they have time to raise he poured them with
money.
Ahmad Said
has had a moment of falling. Najib never
yet. Then he had to continue carving to
ensure that he will never fall.
Once,
history was defined as a study of the rise
and fall of a nation which implies every
nation has it's day. The United States is
doing it's best to halt the maxim, and goes
all out to bar all other countries from
producing nuclear arsenals. UMNO is striving
extremely hard to make sure history will not
repeat itself.
As fate is
believed to be man made, there are those who
believe it is the will of God. So they
believe much that some other nation will
supersede North America and UMNO will be
ruined and the arrogance will badly
suffered. The lowly and the poor populace
will have their days of joy and happiness
even at the smallest benefit and an alms
they get.
My
electricity bill is down due to my own act
to cut expenditure. I stopped traveling,
cropped my own hair, wearing dresses not
ironed and T-Shirts given by friends and my
students.

NAJIB'S
PROSPERITY UNDER GST
Days in and days out Najib is pounding the
idea of a high income nation, developed
country with great prosperity. He is
inviting the leaders of those nations to
tell the Malaysians the goodness of GST.
Which country could be better than the great
United States of America. Najib must
have seen North America is a nation of
heaven and havens, every household earn a
very high income and everyone is wealthy.
I have been to the United States for many
time and had enough observation to conclude
whatever the reality is in the nation. I saw
beggars and homeless, jobless youths
peddling drugs, vandals running wild, and
people are losing their homes and jobs. Many
shop houses ere being taken over by the
Asians.
You need to do a little research to find out
the number of Americans who work outside and
refused to go home to the land where they
were born. They said jobs are difficult to
get.
To me it would be much better for Najib to
work for the lower cost of living and to
bring back the prices down to the previous
affordable level.
There is a reason for Najib to struggle hard
to make the public believe in him as he did
before the GE13. He feared to see what is
happening in Thailand. The most fearful is
prospect of what happened to Muaamar Ghadafi
who was sodomized even after his death.
Najib thinks BRIM and other hard cash to
appease the people could offset the economic
and social illnesses.
I know prices will never come down even
after GST, instead it could continue with
the hike. And the government will come up
with a new story and tons of excuses. The
stupid UMNO youths will yell and threaten
the others whom their leaders will throw the
blame upon.
Many of us take the price downfall after GST
as a fairy tales, as they are laughing and
joking at the MH270 bomoh.

EXPLORING VB.NET
VB.NET is something new. I
ignored it when it first became a popular
language, replacing VB6, because I decided
to give up learning computer language. But
when Afifah, a university student whom I did
not not before, approached me for her
biometric project, I have no choice but to
have a peep at it.
I searched the web for
free download.
Below is my first project
for a mere exploration. There are many
repetitions and used variables that I
declared. I will be removing them one by
one. At least it got me to start something.
Of course there are better codings which I
already saw from the web sites. Copy and
paste won't be a challenge.
Would it be too late for a 68 year old man
to learn programming language ? Nothing is
never too old. Learning could be a joy and
full of fun. If I can do it everyone else
too can do it.
PLAYING AROUND WITH SIMPLE IMAGE VB6
COMMAND TO VB.NET
I placed two pictureboxes on the form.
The pictures on the left used array. I dim
pik2(30) as string and named each array as
call signs that I will be taking from my ham
radio folder.
The coding is exactly what I used to do
in Visual Basic. The program technique is
not very neat, but it work for my purpose.

MH370's
ABSURDITY
We laughed at the Bamboo
Shaman and condemned the idea of the Burmuda
Triangle theory, and deeply believe it was
the work of CIA in the light of the cold war
of weapon's race and espionage system. Wait
until you hear what what Dr Greer and Bob
Lazar talked about the reality of alien and
UFO.
Both believe in the
existing of real aliens. You need to follow
their lectures and read more about them.
Assuming that they do not lie, which many
believe they aren't, the one area that we
would not want to talk about the missing
MH370 was caused by the alien and the other
dimension.
There were several
UFO sightings in 2014. On the 23rd April
2014 it was seen in Cancun Mexico. On April
22, 2014 Turkish military aircraft gave a
chase to an UFO. In Argentina it was seen
over over Santiago on 21st April. In 2014
only the number of total sightings were 161.
But no one would want
to think of the UFO factor on the missing
plane. Surely it would awkward and absurd as
the absurdity of the Bomoh Teropong Buluh.
The illuminati group
is talking about a GATE to the third
dimension. Some said at the Bermuda Triangle
there was a gate like the Black Hole that
suck things through the Worm Hole into the
White Hole, another dimension. Is it not
possible that the gate can be anywhere as
commanded by the gatekeeper. Of all we know
MH370 had passed through the gate and now it
is in the third dimension.
Let us be reminded
that there are two types of UFOs; the alien
and the man made using alien technology. The
German was the first to make flying saucer.
But the ones made by the Americans were more
successful because they are built using
alien technology. Aliens were said to bring
the material for propulsion to the
Americans.
What I am talking is
about the real alien opening up the GATE for
our plane.

FREE ENERGY
Free energy is also
known as Zero Point Energy. It is a real
thing that does not reach us unless we do
our own thinking and research. The
multi-national companies, the oil industries
and those selling us batteries and lighting
will not want the world citizen to obtain
it.
In Malaysia we wonder
whether the politicians namely UMNO
leaderships and lawmakers are aware or are
interested in scientific progress. They
probably put much confident and trust in our
colleges and universities. The Deputy
Minister of Education talked with pride
about our achievements in robotics.
Our technology depend on
the components which we do not develop and
manufacture ourselves. We apply the logic
circuits and the sensors to interface with
things. So far we have not thought out of
our mental boundary yet.
Don't we have thinkers ?
YES, we do. We have Shahidan Kassim, Noordin,
Ahmad Said, Ahmad Maslan, the Aman family
and the main talkers in parliament and
government. You ask them any damn question,
they have any damn answers for you.
Malaysians do have
genius and great thinkers. They died as
normal and ordinary men. Our political and
office environments do not prepare the
appropriate flat form for the growth
of rich thought.
Who should take the
responsibility to organize the the
scientific youth ? We have people to get the
youth to throw stones and attack political
foes, and teach them to be gangsters and
tools to carry lies.
In every budget speech
we were showered with news about money. And
in UMNO general assembly speakers were
creating jokes and talked on non-substance
topics.
The project on free
energy must be put into motion as soon as
possible. God has given us everything. It is
up to us to think and search how to get the
hidden secret.
While we still have the
chance to
gather
information and ideas on free energy, we
might as well do it and let our young to
start from there, and the government can
assist by investing in industries that can
shape metals as design, create gears and
hard wares required for a project. Most
projects need forming machines and lathe
work. Right now it is almost impossible to
get the hydraulic machine the design I want.
We should not be tied up
with
ideas we read. Though traditional physic
may differ from quantum, both can contribute
to the concept of free energy, in
perspective differ from each other. One man
built a home roller coaster for his child
without using fuel or electricity, but can
achieve a perpetual motion through the law
of gravity and motion. The 'anti-gravity'
vehicle is using the space-time-pressure
environmental concept.
A thought can be absurd
but with a proper explanation and experiment
can turn out to be wonderful.
Let me tell you of how
to get a free electricity from the thin air
which I tried about 35 years ago. As you
know there are a lot of electromagnetic wave
in the air. You can tap by using a coil of
wire as you see in the receiver. Use a diode
and an electrolytic capacitor. The diode
changes the electricity induced in the wire
and store it in the capacitor until it is
fully charged. Use a LED to test it.

THE SHAMELESS
MALAY YOUTHS
The
number of joggers and walkers have increased
at Taman Jubeli Perak, Alor Setar. It is
also known as Taman Rimba. The Kedah Race
Course used to be here and now turned into a
Golf Course. The office of Menteri Besar,
the second abode of the Sultan and several
rest houses for the VVIPs are around here.
But
every evening the Mat Rempit without helmets
are tearing their throttles to the maximum
at a deafening sound, pulling their bikes up
and lie flat like a superman. And the girls
would yell and shrek and scream shamelessly.
It has always been a pain to the eyes and
the ears. These are all the Malays.
The
guard house at the palace and the VVIP's
rest houses are manned by the police. I
would expect someone to whisper to the
authority to take some sort of actions and
to deal with the parents.
Joggers
came from all walks of life, young and old,
retired and professionals, doctors and big
towkeys. None is entertained by the Malay
youths on the showing off stun. Imagine if
they grow up to be politicians or ministers.
From
time to time I would bumped into youths with
crutches. Every time my heart would say
'...serve you right...' assuming they create
the sins on the motorbikes. And I am waiting
to see someone swimming on the road while
showing off the stun.
There is
nothing the public can do about it. The laws
forbid it. Teachers can't take actions on
their students. Parents are barred from
administrating corporal punishment. The
Human Right group will be howling at you if
by a slight action that may harm these young
bikers.
The
Wisma Negeri is here. The palace is here.
The rest house is here.
What may
come across your thinking ?

WHY I GO ON
CW ON 7.04224 ?
I
was an ardent SWL. First I used to beat the
two radios to resolve the SSB and CW
signals. Later, when I purchased ICF5900W,
it remained as my main receiver for a long
time. I taught myself Morse codes and
trained myself by listening to CW signals
and messages from everywhere. I was able to
read Morse before I obtained my ticket
around early '70's.
CW by Malaysian hams
were almost a weekly affair before the 80's.
Malaysians worked each other from 7.000 to
7.100. 9M2CF, 9M2CW, 9M2MW and 9M2FK were
the masters. The pairs would stay separate.
Those were old timers before the many of the
old-newer hams. When I became a ham, it gave
me much pleasure pounding my straight key,
working some of those stations. We were not
strictly on the CW-ONLY frequencies. We were
everywhere where the spots were empty. CW is
allowed from 07.00 to 7.100. There were no
complaints and they were no back-stabbing.
There were no showing off. Hamming were fun.
9M2GV, 9M2EG, 9M2DW,
9M2AV, 9M2AT, 9M2RJ, 9M2BS, 9M2DW, 9M2FZ and
a few others were very regular with me.
9M2DW and me would stay foot on a fix
frequency chatting for hours on end.
I am having a fuzzy
memory on those SWLs who came to see me.
Haris, 9M2ALL, said he visited my shack but
I don't remember it vividly. 9M2MZ, 9M2AT
and Hassan came to see me about the learning
of Morse. 9M2HC was working in Alor Setar
and we operated a Field Day station
together. Rusli came at a later period. My
house was opened as a Jota station for
several years. Some of those who came to
operate are now class B operators.
It was after 1982
onwards I started to stay away from the ham
band. When computer came in, I was engrossed
with IRC chat, and spent a lot of time on
developing computer softwares. My interest
faded. I forget ham radio for a while.
In 2002 I found my
FT-10B covered with cobwebs in my store.
Termites attacked my shack, eaten away books
I brought back from the United States. After
some hassling with the radio, I heard 9M2HC
talking to 9M2ZA on 7040. I had no proper
antenna. I could not transmit. Only Zainal
and Choo were on the band day after day. I
did not hear hose old timers anymore.
Only in December
2002 I was able to come on the band. The
frequency was 7.040 and it was SSB. Three of
use were active. I didn't know what happen
to the rest. Zainal was not a stranger. I
worked him in late 70's after his return to
Malaysia from Germany where he lived for
several years.
News about radio
came from Hanafi, who one day came to my
house and found me on my roof. "Are you
strike by a lightning, he first shouted." He
told me that he was a ham but in a class B
category. He told me stories about the
demise hams and hams who had leave the
hobby. I was sadden and deeply disturb to
hear about Eshee, Datuk Tan, Ibrahim Oxford
and Ari. He told me that MCMC has replaced
Telecom.
No wonder the ham
band was so quiet.
On 18th of July
after chatting with Zainal on 7.040, there
was a disturbance on the frequency. Zainal
was with Choo on 7040 until August 2003. I
would go to 7043 to call CQ when found
Zainal and Choo were in deep discussions.
But when Zainal was not there the
Indonesians were there.
From 21st August
2003 Zainal made almost a permanent choice
to come on 7.043 with me. It was he who told
me that to make CW heard on 7.043 I need to
go to 7.04224. So from August 2003 till
today, 9th. May 2014, I stay foot like a
faithful dog, calling even without any
reply. Old hams would not let people simply
call without a response, but that was the
story of the yester years.
21st century is the
period when the conception of ham radio
changes, locally or internationally. It is
too complex and too deep to critically crack
the source and the wind of change. People
used to say new ideas are better. They
brought progress to the universe.
Technology changes
by leaps and bounds. Human being remain as
they are. They lie and deceive, robbed and
killed, greedy and selfish.
The evil in the
changes were not the technology but the
human species itself, the two legged
animals.

AHMAD MASLAN
THE GST MAN
He is so very
confident that GST will make people happy
because the price will come down. Why not
when foodstuffs were not taxed. Sorry, I
don't know his university education and his
discipline. I am sure university Professors
were the proponent of GST and learned enough
to predict the future price.
Many stupid laymen
like me simply do not buy the argument food
price will be down. There are taxes which
are not directly incidental to the food per
se. Like one local man says 'vegetable ,are
not taxed, but all other that required for
the growth of vegetables will be taxed. The
farmers will have to increase the price of
the editable plant' . Does he need a
university degree to foresee it ?
The government, Ahmad
Maslan, Tengku Adnan and the PM will be
ready to blame the middlemen and the
consumers again when there is a price hike
after GST. They would not believe it, not
because they are stupid but because they
were fooled by the rosy theory and the
written formula they see. Or may be they
already knew it, but find is pleasurable at
seeing people sufferings. In other words the
lying is planned and deliberate.
The fouled mouth
Ustaz, who said that women who protest
against GST, are First Class Prostitute, are
just like many other Ustazs. Their thinking
is shallow and narrow. Many school
administrators, known as Ustaz, had caused
much problem to the nation.
Sellers who pay more
for their living will charge more though not
related to the goods. If I pay higher
rental, more for my clothing and utility
bill, I will have to charge more for my
whatever service or good s I am selling. The
additional expenditure caused by GST in one
area, will have to be compensated in any
other area even though not affected by the
sales and service tax.
You have to wait next
year to trace the fallacy of GST brings down
the price.
If you care to trace
failures and inefficiencies you will find
numerous habitual past that will
continue. That's explain the reason why the
Chinese are not happy with the NEP. The
government declared that it has not achieve
the target after the lapse had passed, year
after year. The NFC failed in it's original
quest. MAS and Proton, PKZ etc paraded a
string of failures. If it based on the trend
I would say the citizens will not enjoy
cheaper stuffs.
It is good to see
Ahmad Maslan with great confidence and a
happy face. I am waiting to see his face
again next year.

WE WILL DIE
ANYWAY-ASPIRIN OR NOT
O ur
hospitals prescribe aspirin to save us from
blood clotting and to prevent stroke.
Aspirin has been there for some time to
save lives, and are used by patience in USA
as well. But recent findings believe it
could cause internal bleedings.
We
will die anyway, sooner or later. To some
death at the younger age is better. The
faster the hard-core drug addicts die the
better. We tend to pray and wish somebody
should die the quickest so that we can live
a more peaceful and tranquil life. Instead
we would go first and these people continue
to breath the fresh air , contributed to
chaos and make noises day by day as they are
growing older and older.
Time travels fast. The past was just like
yesterday. If there is no calendar and days,
and if we live far in the deep jungle we
would not know that we are growing old. Our
mind will be set up by our children and
grand children. Would we care when we will
die ?
In
the cities, town and in civility the
awareness is greater. We try to fight ageing
by feeding on special food and vitamins,
buying collagen and food containing stem
cells, run a daily exercise and had a
regular medical check up. Despite those our
strength and agility deteriorate. There are
bound to be wrinkles. Our faces undergo
changes.
Though I am almost 20 years younger than
Mahathir, I have a feeling he will live
longer, probably 20 to 30 more years. Would
it be better for him to die now than later ?
Many of us will say, "If I were him I won't
want to live any longer."
If
I were a reporter I would ask Mahathir,"Is
aspirin good for our consumption ?" That
would be better than asking him, "Do you
want to replace Najib ?"

MIGHT IS
RIGHT
Call it Human
Right, call it freedom, they are nothing but
beautiful words to use and never to be
practiced by any country in the world. Lee
Kuan Yew was not the only person who jailed
and tortured his enemy, the Presidents of
America showed no respect towards Human
Right at all. Guantanamo Bay is a famous
torture center. Those who marched to
question the 911 and show support to the
Palestinians will be arrested before dawn.
There was a ban to protest against the Wall
Street.
China
accused the United States of spying on
its own citizens, discriminating against
women and ethnic minorities and allowing gun
crime to run out of control, 2012
bill "authorizes warrantless
wiretapping",
eavesdrops on phone calls
and intercepts emails,
women and
ethnic minorities in the United States were
discriminated against
and the
religious discrimination is on the rise,
with an increase in insults and attacks
against Muslims." The law on the right to
hire and fire speaks all.
ou
might not know about the selling of
land to the Chinese in the United States. It
would be a topic of interest to dig in.
Today
the right and the wrong depend on who says
them. The cowed citizens would swallow the
command without questioning.
Right
and freedom are defined to the convenient of
those who want to uphold their agenda. Some
want them all, the desire to be in complete
dominance. There is no compromise and no
give and take, no negotiation, but an
absolute power and control. Conquest and
expansionism is the game played by the
mighty. The braves would stand to fight and
die.
People are still confused as to the concept
and ideal of freedom. Our media did not
educate us well about it, and to define the
concept without any element of bias. We
speak of Born Free yet at the same time we
talk about the Law of the Jungle; about
absolute right to do what we want, what we
like and where we like. If we need to kill
each other for our final agenda then be it,
because it will finally balance itself. The
world need people to die, and die fast and
rapidly, in order to check the population
expansion.
Else
you define it which contain the spirit of
mutual respect, not to hurt and insult the
others, not to rob away the freedom of
others emotionally and physically. We do not
intrude into the belief and culture of
others, believing in the goodness of harmony
and happy living. We can enjoy this
limitation even without force or the rule of
law.
Somehow we are living in
the savage world. You give the right to kill
by defining those you want to kill as
terrorists regardless of their ages. They
pissed at the dead corpses, and laugh aloud
after shooting innocent men and women.
Then we have robbers
that continue robbing the people using laws
they enacted, and divide the wealth among
their friends using several smoke screens,
and lie to the people that those were good
for the population, and at the same time
dragging those who opposed them to jail. The
defined what's right and what is wrong. A
careful thought you would find that we are
still in the savage world.
Savage define freedom,
human right, right and wrong, and the world
what would benefit them and strive in
whatever ways and means to achieve their
desires.
It is not easy to
understand the world. Take for instant, if a
the same thief keep on stealing things from
you house over and over again, you will
learn a little of the philosophy of stealing
and thefts. People seldom learn what had not
happen to hurt and injure them.
Truly this world is full
of bad people in as much as good citizens.
What do we do with the bad guys ?

EATING STOLEN FRUITS
With the lucrative price of mangoes those
who have a few Harum Manis trees were
frustrated to find there were no mangoes
left on their trees the next morning.
Several people who were at the dialysis
center were narrating their frustrations.
Thieves steal dokong, latex, papayas,
rambutan and anything they could lay their
hands on. We don't know the racial
composition but many guessed they were
Malays. Those who came to steal in our area
were the Malays.
Some fruit vendors are selling stolen
fruits. Buyers are unaware of their
purchases.
Harum Manis is picking up between RM25 -
RM28 a kilogram. The minimum you would pay
is twenty five ringgit per fruit. Last night
I was told one ordinary mango costs RM5.
But human is human. Some like to buy cheap
even knowing the goods are stolen. Ask
yourself would you buy a RM5K camera for
RM200. I can't imagine how I would react if
someone is selling me a stolen Icom 756 Pro3
for RM600. Last year a fruit vendor was
approached by a small lorry filled with
local fruits offering him those tree
products. He came back and told me about the
bad people who want to sell him stolen
stuffs.
It is forbidden for a Muslim to buy things
which he suspects as stolen even though they
are not. 96% of the buyers would not have
even a slightest suspicion. Probably 98% of
the goods sold are legal commodities.
Once you start eating the known stolen food
you would always want to have them as long
as they are cheap and tasty. It is difficult
to find one out of ten people who fears God.
When Mahathir said about cutting hands will
leave the Malaysian Muslims without hands,
what he meant to say was the Muslims and the
Malays are thieves by profession. Nothing
else. To him stealing helps the government.
It is a form of employment and good for the
nation. Would stealing contribute to
the GDP ?
It is a crime for you to persecute a thief
or a trespasser. If he dies in your compound
or in your house you may be facing a life
imprisonment or death by hanging. If you
chase him outside your compound and hit him,
the thief can take legal action on you.
I have heard of a story about a man who
stole rubber latex in the estates for a long
time. Later he went missing. His motorcycle
was left untouched and he was never to be
found. Nobody claimed to know anything about
the missing person. Probably he was eaten by
a tiger.

9M2ZA
The last time I
talked to Zainal was on 26/10/2010 at 1548 Z
on 7.043. Since then he was missing from the
band.
Zainal moved to a
new home where putting up an antenna is
almost near to impossible. The environment
is very unfriendly.
So he was stuck on
the internet, which is his new world.
I don't remember
exactly the first time I worked him on the
ham band. When he was living in Germany the
news of a Malay man with a German call sign
spread like a wild fire. Many Malaysian
stations talked to him.
Zainal is not an
ordinary ham. He is a genius, a scientist
and a joker. There was a joke in every QSO.
One famous joke I will always remember was a
question 'Which is better ; Pau Kaya ot Pau
Kacang'. His research work was in rubber.
I am not giving
him a complement. He was really good. He
could learn things very fast. He learned
Thai on the band and he delivered a speech
in Thai language representing Malaysia at
the Seanet convention in Thailand. He is a
master in CW, manual and electronic sending
without the help of a computer. He was fast.
The document
posted on the Facebook showing his expiry
license threw a little doubt. Printed on it
is the 'mobile/portable station'. I really
don't know what it meant. Assume that it is
a normal AA ticket it could mean Zainal is
no longer a ham, which is a ridiculous thing
to happen. I am waiting for his coming back
to rejuvenate the old joke and fun that we
used to have. From 2002 till 2010 we had had
about 314 contacts, mostly in 2002. Also on
7043.
License B started
with 9M2SS and materialized during Rashid
Sultan and Zainal management period of
MARTS. Probably only 2% of the current
Malaysian hams know Rashid and Zainal.
It is of my
opinion that Zainal must come back. We can't
afford to lose a brainy like this man.

WHY GST ?
GST in the United
States has been there long before Najib
became a Prime Minister. We did not enforce
it here.Was it because all our previous
Prime Ministers were dumb and Najib is the
smartest ?
The first reason
given by Najib is people do not pay income
tax. The question is since when ? Since
Najib became the Prime Minister ? Indeed we
need to compare the time frame before and
during Najib's era. We could either talk
about failure and inefficiency in tax
administration or the lacking of money in
the government's coffer. Taxation and money
could have not been a very critical issue
before. And why only now Najib raise it as
an urgent matter ?
Secondly Najib
argued that more than 190 countries accept
GST. If it is bad, it would have been
rejected. Therefore GST is good.
To Najib a norm or
a standard is the number of approval. Before
Marijuana is illegal. Then it is a legal
drug in Holland. Grass is sold everywhere
and people are queuing up to inhale the
smoke. The government distributed free
condoms to prevent aid. Then state by states
in the United States is legalizing
Marijuana. Once the number has reached 190,
would Najib say that Malaysia will have to
make it legal ? If it is bad those countries
will not approve it. So it goes with trial
marriage, exchange spouses and public
nudity.
GST is to cover
the borrowing and the huge spending by Najib
to keep his position. Corrupting the
citizens by hard cash for votes benefit
them. The more the money collected the more
Najib and UMNO can throw for permanent
survival, the more they can spend lavishly
and share among the cronies.
If GST would bring
the prices down then let it be to stand. But
will it ? Promises by Najib before the last
GE were broken, do you think Najib will not
lie again on commodities that will not be
taxed ? You see beautiful stuffs on papers;
item A.B, C will not be affected. But when
the time come they won't be left aside, and
Najib will come up with another excuses, one
after another. The lies and deception can go
on and on.
Failure to
administer taxation before may not be a
success this time. Failures of government
agencies are reported in the news almost
everyday and in the auditor's report. There
is nothing that the government can do with
the increasing cost of living, the everyday
price increase. The enforcement officers
either gone asleep or could not do anything.
Who could you expect the officers to be
effective in their duties when the seats
during the parliamentary debate were empty ?
There is a favorite phrase used by Sanusi
Junid "The fish rots from it's head'.
Bad behaviors are
hard to discard and lies is nothing to those
who always practice it. They find pleasure
in cheating the people.
It is good to look
at what is happening in the United States
which has both the GST and the income tax.
You don't learn about the nation from the TV
and looking at the wealthy people. You have
to go there, travel widely and observe well.
There is a scary situation of crime and
joblessness, homelessness, people losing
their jobs and houses. At any time our
medicare system is much and far better.
Asians are becoming more dominant in
businesses, vandalism were everywhere and
the chain stores are either closing down or
numbers decreased. What happen to the money
collected ?
We do not forget
the words of the government "Malaysia is
Malaysia. We are not ......If you don't like
our ways, go to those countries..." UMNO has
been pounding our own uniqueness over and
over again. And now Najib is talking
about copying from the other nations.
I had had a big
laugh when Ahmad Maslan said prices will
come down when GST comes into operation.
Either one of us is a great fool.

THE ONE
RINGGIT NESCAFE
My wife always
asked me to buy her Nescafe ice. The
price is never the same from vendor to
vendor. Almost all the Mamaks would sell at
RM2. Pak Chop, the famous mee rebus seller
at Pantai Johor, Alor Setar has just raised
his from RM1.50 to RM1.80.
A few yards from
Pak Chop is a stall that brought down his
Necafe ice from RM1.50 to RM1. This small
store is run by a small man with one helper.
I don't know the price of other drinks but
people are queuing up, which made me think
he sells everything for a ringgit.
Money collected
from the sales were thrown into a plastic
bag. From 6.00 pm to 12.00 pm I gather he
must have collected more than RM400. Besides
there are cookies and nasi lemak. He owns
the Nasi Lemak and the rest probably belong
to others.
Not many hawkers
are selling foods at very cheap price. One
sells kueh at 10 cent each. A dollar would
fill our stomach. These are a few greedless
human around who can still make good profit
at the end of the day.
One of these days,
when I find no crowd, I am going to ask the
hawker why he brought the Nescafe price down
from a one-half dollar to a dollar. I hope
to hear his answer and share with the rest.
To me he is a small man with a great heart.
Probably he had lead a hard life before.

THE BAD
SIDE OF TRADE UNION
Several states in the United States acted
tough with the labor unions which were seen
as evils that brought bankruptcy to
the states. Unions of private enterprises do
not only push for inflation but also
weakened global market competitiveness.
Foreign commodities would be much cheaper
than the local products. In the United
States goods from China, Taiwan, India and
Indonesia flooded the market. Automobile
industries had to look for new strategy to
keep alive.
Government interference in imposing
higher import tax to protect the local firms
would be fatal once meeting retaliation.
Stringent laws on the firms could chase
those firms out of the country where labors
are cheaper and corruptions are lesser.
The fate of the workers in the private
sectors depend on the sale of the products.
MAS and Proton are two good examples. The
government cannot force the public to
finance those companies not owned by them.
True indeed the government could go bankrupt
if borrowing continues. It is very scary to
hear that Najib is borrowing 600 billion a
year.
I just feel Najib could not care less to
the future of the country. Politician like
Mahathir owned properties in foreign land
where they can always go. Najib, in needing
votes and support, would bow to the demand
of the trade union. In Malaysia we have bad
and unproductive workers who could not be
fired. We don't have the law on the right to
hire and fire.
I would say there are at least 10% of the
government workers are problematic or
unproductive. Some are running their own
private businesses; house contractors,
restaurant owners, maid agents and even
frying mee in the evening.
Pushing the retirement age higher would
make the jobseekers hunting for other new
jobs and in new organizations. The expansion
of government agencies could not be as fast
as the number who leave schooling and
universities.
The jobless were driven to seek bread in
other areas. Many went to business, from
selling burger to becoming proxies to
politicians. Because shop lots are expensive
and difficult to get many are on the move. A
few found drug as a lucrative business.
It is worth to retain and reward
scientists and experts, skill and able
employees than the lazy unproductive workers
who the unions are protecting and awarding.
If Najib and Union leaders are scratching
each other's backs, it is not very healthy
to our economy.

HOW SMART
ARE YOU ?
This is not a
new subject, like an American TV that
repeatedly screening old movies over and
over again, similar to our TV which has been
screening P.Ramlee's movies week after week.
But circumstances drove me to pen it once
again. How smart are you or how smart am I ?
Now on the
facebook any comment rejecting GST will be
met with harsh criticism by the people whom
I suspect as the UMNO Blue Army or similar
to it. UMNO had trained a few hundred
personnel to explain what GST mean. And
these people believed what was told. To them
those who opposed it are stupid morons who
do not understand it. To them the public
will profit much out of the policy. Indeed
the arguments and explanations were
convincing when looking on the surface. But
the GST itself is not relevant here. It is
the people who arrogantly pointing fingers
at the others as stupid and ignorant. They
think they are the smartest lots.
And a few days
ago a female university student humbly
showed me her fingerprint application
written in Visual Basic Dot Net, which is
very Greek to me. Her software amazed me,
and I realized I am nowhere compared to
millions of other people out there. How
could I be smarter than her ?
Today I met
someone who write program for aircrafts,
built sophisticated hardware, mastering
EPROM and PICs and construct a HF SSB
transceivers. The meeting was short but I
gathered alot from the discussion, and
gauged my knowledge in comparison. I know
where am I.
I have met
smart Chinese and smart Malays. I could not
be sure how many Malays work with NASA
though I knew one who had work there for
several years.
We tend to
think that we are the best in everything and
our ideal is beyond any challenge. When we
become so arrogant and selfish we would tend
to despise all others and perceive ourselves
as the most superior. It would be a big
problem when the less schooled and less
educated feel they are the greatest. Their
behaviors tend to be wild.
We all clearly
remember on what we were told by our
government; only listen to our national news
on MH370 and don't listen to the others. If
we did, what do we know by now ? If we
stepped out of the boundary we would have
seen the wider world, the island of Diego
Garcia, the Taliban shooting US drone and
more of the conspiracy theories. Our
government want us to have a single tracked
mind and to swallow as what we are told.
I would never
encourage laziness in any way. It could
create a stupid person with a narrow mind
but with big emotion and sentiment to
pompously depict the wrong which he thinks
is right. Even the real men of knowledge do
not agree with each other, traditional
science as oppose to quantum science, the
unending theory of wave characteristics and
behavior.
Wise men knew
what they were talking about. Fools quoted
phrases that were fuzzy to them, parroting
what they heard. A person can continuously
say e=mc2 without knowing the whole concept.
Knowledge and
skill are wealth. You feel it, the greatest
wealth imbedded, unseen, but it enhance your
real-self. It is self-fulfillment.
How smart are
we ? There are others who are smarter. How
smart am I ? 90% of my students who are
better and smarter.
As you listen
to people on TV and read the news from any
newspapers, you need to listen to yourself
afterwards.
When our hockey
team was beaten by Canada, it as not because
we are less skill or less smart, but because
of the edge of emotional state of the
Australians over the Malaysians. We lost a
little concentration after leading the game.
In game, skill
and brain the hockey players are so much
better than many of us, including me.

WHAT IS
THE 1st OF MAY FOR ME
I knew today was
Thursday but I didn't know it was the 1st of
May till late last night. Yesterday I sent a
message to one university student who is
designing a thumbprint application to see
the administrator of the local
vocational college to witness the software I
developed. I would go to see her soon after.
Late at night I read her message that
Thursday is a Labor Day. I replied telling
her to meet me at the Seri Malaysia hotel.
As usual I went to
buy breakfast for my wife at 9.00 am and
continued for my usual brunch at Majid
restaurant. As soon as I arrived the owner
quipped, "Big prawn for you on the house." I
nodded my head but I took it as a joke.
After a delicious meal I went to the counter
for payment. "No. It is free for you." It
was a good day for a start.
At noon I went to
Seri Malaysia. I met the student who came
with her brother and father. She showed me
her application written in Visual Basic Dot
Net, which is Greek to me. The design was
superb but how could I help her with my zero
knowledge. She said her Professor wants the
application start with a certain module and
that she had a problem in printing the
listing. I asked her to look for the startup
module. She found it. And I asked her to
open the logging data file on a DataGridView.
I had a short time reading about it on the
website. I showed her how to populate the
datagridview. She gave a ponder, grasping
the concept and nodded giving a sign of
understanding.
She thanked me and
handed me with some cash. I rejected it. The
father shook my hand with the cash, which
also refused to accept. The father is a
teacher and her mother too is a teacher. She
heard about my writing the application
through her mother. After a short talk with
her father we bade good-bye.
Evening was my
walking time. I had to go late because my
sister-in-law came to help in house
cleaning. She would come to see and arrange
things once a week. At 6.00 pm I found no
parking space at the jogging track. Cars
everywhere even at the no parking area and
on the doubled lined road. I had to park at
quite a distant away. I realized of the big
crowed due to the public holiday.
At night while
nursing my wife having her vowel I heard
Najib appealing the people to help the
government. TV was blasting and lambasting
those who went out to protest against GST. I
didn't stop to watch the TV. Instead I
switched it off.
I just went to the
super store looking at price tags. What was
sold at 80 cent before is now more than
RM4.00. Prices climbed so fast. It does not
come by itself. It is made by Najib's
policy, probably advised by some PHD
economists. Daim said Najib borrowed RM600
billion a year. My question is 'For what ?'
At the restaurant I heard a few UMNO's big
guns were discussing million dollar project,
about land price bought at RM5 and sold at
RM75 per square foot.
We all heard about
Rosmah and Najib's lavishness, about giving
money to friends and cronies, about the
missing billions, military purchases that
went astray, and about corrupting the public
for votes. Najib is appealing to the general
public to pay for the wastage and the stolen
billions. Let us ask ourselves how much was
spent to hang Rosmah's pictures in Putrajaya.
This is not a slender. It is true and you
are asked to pay for it.
This is the 1st.
of May 2014. We are going towards the
hardship. Najib is going for the repression
and the fear of any citizen who have
experience in holding military arsenal like
the rocket launcher. Those who were in the
battlefield fighting Israel under Hezbollah
and Hamas will be all be arrested. They
could be a threat not against Malaysia but
against the politicians.
Nevertheless the
seed of militancy and violence began to
surface. All eyes are watching and will be
nipped in the bud. All must be wiped out
before it has the chance to grow. But the
same happened in all other authoritarian
countries including Soviet Russia.
Najib's mode of
soft pitiful request will not sustain
forever as the high cost of living keep on
climbing.
You may want to
argue about the rising number of wealthy
Malays. The Malays who are getting richer
are those in businesses which they had to
struggle on their own for years. The
government claimed these were the product of
UMNO's policies. At the same rate the number
of unemployment and joblessness are on the
increase. This will push crimes and the evil
ways of getting money in order to cope up
with expensive living.
Only good
governance can ensure peace and security,
not the practice of deception and lying,
wastage and lavishness.
If I have not
heard Najib appealing to the people to say
'aye' for GST, the 1st. of May 2014 would
have been a really beautiful day for me.
The best news is
our hockey team beat New Zealand on penalty
after a 4 - 4 draw. Our hockey team, Nicole
David and Lim Chong Wei have done an immense
job in promoting and selling Malaysia to the
world. Remember we are a very nation.
Without East Malaysia we would be much more
smaller.
To attain a world class
standard is almost near to impossible. But
these few people could be moulded into
super-Malaysians and above the many millions
people of the world.
Hockey wrapped out my
happiness on the 1st May 2014.

FOREVER
UNHAPPY AND DISSATISFIED
There are
contented people, even with small and modest
income. Those who live far from the cities
in the deep jungle, survived by the what
nature give them, may be happier than many
of us. Many people are slave of their
emotion and mind that cannot be freed by the
immense wealth and power they have. Those
who complain will continue to do so forever.
The turmoil in
Egypt, Iraq and Afghanistan do not cease.
New government replaced the old. Poverty
continued.
I see Mahathir
never stopped at blaming the wrong trees,
barking each day showing his discontent,
over the missing pane, Najib and Anwar, and
all others. I saw Najib artificial smile
when with Obama. PERKASA is shouting their
heads off on Obama's remarks. DAP and MCA
gearing all their resources criticizing
Islamic law.
Obama's visit was
not a happy hour occasion to Malaysia. The
President's views could either be ignored or
implemented. Najib will be pressured to
ignore. Some will say that Malaysia can
stand without the United States. or the
world.
Every praise by
Obama is followed by hidden statement 'Najib's
reformation is great but he has to push
more....' He quoted more freedom which can
mean anything including the right to
peaceful assembly. He sent envoys to meet
Anwar and commented on the Rule of Law. The
insinuations can go on and on.
We did the best
to appease Obama, expecting the President to
totally support the administration and
ignoring all oppositions against the
government.
You have just
heard of the government crackdown of local
terrorists who are linked with international
movement ready to case mischief. You see the
police seem to know these people more than
the drug kingpin. Unbelievable. Who are
these people and what are their targets ? Do
you know what I think ? I think the police
is trying to tell the people not to attempt
using force to throw Najib down. If there is
such a militant force they would have
assassinated the unpopular politicians long
time ago.
Even the
resignation of Korea's Prime Minister on the
ferry disaster throw a bad light on Najib as
a less responsible leader who wants to hold
to his post at whatever cost. People see two
type of leaders in the world and compare
their greatness.
We just have to
wait and see what Malaysia is going to do
after Obama had left Malaysia. Heads will
roll and already we hear Ibrahim Ali and his
wicked mouth, not to talk about the less
educated UMNO supporters who care more for
themselves than their future generation.

APA PASAL DR MAHATHIR
BERCAKAP PASAL RAKYAT MALAYSIA MAMPU
MENJATUHKAN KERAJAAN DENGAN GANAS ?
Sebelum ini Dr Mahathir menuduh PAS dan PR
hendak menjatuhkan kerajaan dengan ganas.
Tapi tuduhan tersebut tidak diambil indah.
PAS berulangkali sejak dari dahulu lagi
berkata bahwa perubahan kerajaan hanya akan
berlaku melalui pilihanraya.
Kini dengan tiba-tiba beliau menyebut
tentang rakyat boleh menjatuhkan kerajaan
dengan ganas kalau mereka tahu caranya.
Segala susunan ayat menampakkan apa yang
terdapat di dalam minda beliau. Beliau tidak
lagi berupaya menggantikan Najib sepertimana
beliau lakukan kepada Pak Lah. Rejim lama
tidak tahan lagi dengan tindak tanduk Najib
yang terlalu boros sehingga membawa masalah
kepada ekonomi negara. Daim mengatakan Najib
berhutang sebanyak RM600 billion setahun.
Najib sendiri dikatakan mempunyai jumlah
pengiring keselamatan yang lebih dari 2 kali
ganda dari Dr Mahathir.
Di dalam semua percaturan Dr Mahathir tidak
nampak jalan lain untuk menjatuhkan Najib
selain dari menghasut rakyat menjatuhkan
Kerajaan secara ganas.
Macam mana Najib nak jatuh kalau beliau
memberi wang kepada rakyat dan secukupnya
pula kepada penyokongnya ? Mana ada Perdana
Menteri yang memberi wang tunai kepada
jutaan rakyat di dunia ? Walaupun kos sara
hidup meningkat, tidak ada rakyat yang mati
kelaparan lagi. Menyokong Najib dapat habuan
yang cukup, menyokong Mahathir tak dapat
apa-apa langsung.
Najib tak perlu bimbang dengan kenyataan
orang yang melantiknya dahulu. Kumpulan
Mahathir semuanya sudah tua-tua belaka.

EITHER
THEY ARE STUPID OR SIMPLY EVIL
Respect of the
dead -
The way the Muslims show their final respect
to the dead is not the same as the
non-Muslims. As shown at Karpal's funeral
the Muslim PKR leaders bowed their heads.
The pictures went viral accusing those
Muslims bowing to DAP, and did not do the
same at Azizan's funeral. The Muslims take a
few seconds to recite a surrah, and prayed
at the mosque. The recital and prayers were
seldom pictured. I would not say those who
yelled insults at the PR leaders as stupid
but has an evil mind in their heads.
Property Price
- An UMNO lawmaker was shouting her
head off, giving detail on the property
price in Penang. Land and houses were high
in states under BN, before and now. No
normal Malays can afford to pay RM500K to
RM10 million for a house in many states
including Selangor under BN. The working
people have to pay through their nose for a
RM500K. How about the prices in Johor Baharu
and Kuala Trengganu ? Will the lawmaker be
willing to sell her property for RM200K or
lesser ? Why BN government encourages
property development ? They say property
prices will fetch astronomical price in the
future. UMNO created hardship for the people
and now they are blaming the others. Aren't
that stupid or evil ?
On Muslim
Students - I had touched a lot on the
education system, the Malays and the drugs
and the morality of the Malays. UMNO had not
care about all those for many decades and
keep on devising an education system which
would further problems to the Malays. The TV
Malaysia was showing the concern of the UMNO
lawmaker of the Muslims students who can't
pray and even take ablution. Would she want
to be a champion ? However, with a due
respect to an UMNO Minister, Dato' Ahmad
Bashah, I would like to remind readers to
know that Dato' Ahmad Bashah had known about
the Muslim students when he was an Exco
member in Kedah a long time ago and
participated in the program of re-educating
such kind of students. The Ministry of
Education just would not care about the
illiteracy of the secondary school students
and the poor Muslims. I had brought up the
case to the higher officers but was ignored.
On Sedition
and Teresa's Video - UMNO
supporters accuse Teresa for insulting the
Malays and the Royalty. Karpal's comment was
taken as seditious for quoting the law. Who
were actually against the Sultan and
attempted to unseat the Malay Sultanate ? It
was Mahathir. Mahathir was a Prime Minister
and elected by the UMNO supporters. Was it
not a mandate given to Mahathir by the Malay
voters ?
Parliamentary
post sessions on national TVs only select
the speakers to campaign for the government,
attempting to cover the reality of the
events. What are these realities ? The
government's large annual borrowing that
force the people to pay for the lavishness
and wastages, the lost of big sum of money
since the era of Mahathir till now - from
Bank Bumiputera to PKZ.
It is also evil
and true that the Malays are losing their
land everyday that were used for
agriculture. A Malay farmer sold his land
for RM300000, and with the money he can't
even buy on shop house that cost RM700K to
RM900K. Agriculture lands were grabbed under
the Land Acquisition Act at a very low price
and sold to private sectors at a much higher
price.
No matter what
the BN law makers say about the government
operation on foreigners, the faces of the
Bangla and other foreigners are still seen.
The Indonesians and the Chinese were given
Malaysian citizenships. Similarly on the
successful operations on drugs. Yet drug
addicts do not shrink; addicts killed their
own parents.
What they are
talking is not as what is happening on the
ground.

A FENCE
TO NEUTRALIZE THE BLAME
Now the government
is saying about the PBS, "Hey don't blame us
for any problem on PBS because we have asked
for your opinion and the opinion of
thousands of experts and educationists."
No matter what I do
not agree with the new system because it
kills the opportunity for the school leavers
to improve themselves. They cannot reseat
for the a test as part of the final grades
come from classrooms.
Last night I heard
Idris Jusoh mentioned about training the
teachers and soon the parents to let the
parents do their roles. I don't know what is
the plan and what are the roles of the
parents. The moment I heard of 'parents
role' I quickly jumped to conclusion. "If
anything goes wrong, don't blame us. Blame
the parents." If any parent were to say that
they do not have the time the Minister will
say, "Make time. If we can do it, why can't
you ?"
Do you ever notice
of the present trend ; if thieves come into
your house, it is you who is to be blamed
for not locking your house or not putting
gadgets for theft prevention. If there is
dengue in your area it is you who is to be
blamed for allowing mosquitoes breeding. If
robbers snatch your handbag, you are to be
blamed because you carry the handbag.
Parents do not have
capacity to teach because they do not have
knowledge. Many work from 5pm - 2.00 am,
leaving their kids alone at home. The
best they can do is to send their kids to
tuition classes. Those who can't afford will
not be able to do so.
Today form 5 school
leavers have a lot of offer from private
colleges even before the SPM results are
announced. Students' achievements for the
entry level has never been important.
Private colleges need money and they need
people. What follows are left to our
conjectures.
How many thousand
leave their final schoolings and with
whatever skill level a year? How many have
enough money to go to pilot schools, medical
and law institutions ? How many have enough
skill to run their own business ?
Education has to be
discussed in line with the social and crime
condition. This include PBS and the present
system. The general public may not be aware
of the policy, the dynamic of the system and
the future consequences. Many items are left
untouched during the questions and answers
in the parliamentary sessions. And the reply
is not the same as what is really happening.
There are a lot of deceptions untraced.
You want to know the
reality, you have to open your eyes and
observe around you with critical mind. For
instant you may not see what is behind GST.
The wastage and lavishness and a poor
financial management is the main culprit.
When price jumped
the government blamed the populace for not
exercising consumerism. People are asked to
boycott the goods, not to buy food outside.
Government can do no wrong.
One of our main
problems is that the voters are either
ignorant or lowly educated to grasp
concepts, or mentally lazy to analyze. Many
found it easy to swallow what have been fed
and to repeat what they heard to others.
They don't know that lies are interlaced
with the truth.

THE FEAR OF
CHINA'S DOMINANCE
USA is highly disturbed by China's military
build up. As soon as China started on the
second aircraft carrier, she was demanded by
the United States to explain the build up.
And was warned to halt the sea monster
further constructions. The answer given by
China was merely for self defense. USA chose
to maneuver the economy of the Middle
Kingdom to weaken her
But China is a Communist state. The manpower
is almost free. If she has all the resources
on her soil the built cost would only be
nominal. The real threat is not now but
years to come. The present Chinese
leaderships are more rational, cunning and
give priority to science and technology. The
United States have to break the Chinese
backbones by corrupting those high ranking
Communists. And she needs every country in
Asia and Southeast Asia as allies.
Putin has said that Russia is not afraid of
USA but China said nothing and didn't show
any hatred or her disliking towards America.
Simply because she is not ready to compete
with the mighty Americans. Friendliness
gives her time to build stealth aircrafts
and drones, improving her satellite
capabilities and slowly strengthened her sea
power. USA understands carelessness could
give China dominance in this region. There
should be zero error.
At this scenario, I would relate the missing
MH370 to this cold war.
Najib is facing a hard time because what he
needs most to be the Prime Minister at
whatever cost. The local Chinese is pressing
him. Ong Kah Teng is close to China. He
could make many decision for Najib. Would
Kah Teng tell Najib what to do or lost his
post in the next general election ? Najib
has to show that he is more incline to China
to the local Chinese and at the same time he
has to appease the Americans. After all
Malaysians security forces schooled by USA
and Australia.
USA need to observe the Chinese maritime
activities. Kelantan and Trengganu would be
very favorable. And she cannot allow even a
small piece of land in the middle of an
ocean left without any control. It can be
another Diego Garcia. China must not be
allowed to form a Chinese military base as
what USA is having.

TWO
DIFFERENT TEACHERS
One teacher always
expressed her unhappiness on the Face Book.
The most recent was she cursed the students
who can't read, write and count. She
complained to the school administration
about her sad affair being given such kind
of students to her.
Then I wrote a
comment about a teacher who had very keen to
have the total illiterate students. He was
very successful in transforming them into
normal students, able to master the 3 Rs.
His name, I quoted, is Abdul Razak Botok.
In my mind everyone
is teachable. People can train animals and
fish, and the mentally handicapped. If they
are morons they won't be able to remember
thousands of words and things they see.
Razak Botok is in my school of thought. The
effectiveness of a teacher is when he is
able to transform his students to be the
better.
There are many brave
teachers who welcome the weak students and
ever willing to enhance their capabilities.
Razak Botok made a graduation ceremony and
inviting the parents for the occasion. If
you are a parent try to imagine your feeling
when your once poor kids showed his ability
to read during the graduation ceremony.
Of course it is a
hard work that needs creativity and
ingenuity.
People like Razak
Botok are unknown and taken for granted. Our
education system, the system of promotion
and appraisal tend to ignore good teachers,
but rather define a good teacher in a
different way.
To me calling a
student stupid is a taboo. And I would not
want to employ such a teacher.
I always remind my
teachers, "How about other teachers in other
schools calling your kid stupid and moron ?
"
Many of my great
teachers have retired. When we met we would
recall the events of our visits to students'
home if they absent themselves. I prefer to
provoke and challenge the less motivated to
prove their worth. The present pain is for
the future gain. Good job done is not for
show or promotion but for the sake of our
God and the students. The reward is not
money and the feeling of staisfaction.
Likewise the
education ministry should not ignore the low
achievers and those who failed and the
illiterates. Do think about it and do
something sensible.
22/04/2014 - Abdul Rahman Raof
NOW MH192
After three busses
plunged and killed passengers, MH192 heading
to India with 166 people on board had to
make an emergency landing in KLIA after the
tire burst upon the take off. A school
Principal killed himself as the Korean ferry
sank. Here everyone would go scot-free after
numerous bus accidences. In the primitive
world the bus owners would have been hung.
But Hishamuddin had
called the police to investigate the
possibility of criminal sabotage on MAS.
After MH370 and before MH192 there were
reports on technical failure on the carrier
at Hong Kong airport. I am anxious to know
what is in Hishamudin's mind and what made
him suspect of such an insidious and vile
feat. He follows the right course of action.
Don't we see people
checking tires and other stuffs before take
off ? The checking steps were seen to be
thorough by several persons. Let the police
investigate and come with the right
conclusion, specific and beyond any
reasonable doubt.
In the dark ages the
continuing mishaps would be blamed on evil
and bad luck brought by a person in a
community. If they are bad omen from hell,
we can expect more bizarre happenings to
take place, one after the other. The bamboo
shaman called it the intervention by the
unseen world.
We hail and praise
the MH192 pilots for the safe landing. That
should not be the end. The government and
MAS should also look in the mirror to see
all the details that could lead to
causal-effects manifestations. Please don't
feel insulted when I say Rosmah factor too
has to be considered. Could anyone just tell
her to shut up her mouth ?
It is lucky that
there is no major damage that led to any
major lost. What if all the 166 passengers
die and the plane broke up into pieces ?
Isn't that about the three busses of bus
loads that had had the recent accidences
within 8 days ?
With all the chaos
and bizarre happenings, Najib is happily
talking about millions and billions and the
high income nation. The traumatic events are
too small to think about. The high cost of
living is nothing too. If there is a kind of
Presidential election here Hishamuddin will
be the Prime Minister.
21/04/2014 - Abdul Rahman Raof
MH370 - IF
NOT FOUND
What can you figure
out if the missing plane is not found ? If
it isn't under the sea bed it cannot be
found. If it is somewhere there there are
only two possibilities that could have
happened; it is put there by someone after
it had landed somewhere or it is a
deliberate dived of a suicide mission. In
both cases it has to be lured by some
reasons.
There is a theory
focusing on the suicide drove by emotional
instability. Would it not come across our
mind the target would be Putrajaya or the
abode of some VIPs or MAS officers ?
The public is
pressing for the information on the cargo.
It could lead us to what really happened to
the plane. It is a drone theory. But Taliban
has to tell the world that they had shot
down a drone and was selling the hardware to
China.
The Chinese are as
cunning as the British but forget to compute
the Chinese Embassy is under the full time
surveillance by the CIA on the ground and by
the satellites. What moved in and out were
monitored.
If the drone was in
the plane it had to be the work of CIA.
Nothing more and nothing less. The plane had
to be brought down on land. If it hidden
somewhere it would never be found anywhere.
Somehow it has to be put back into the sea
to avoid suspicion. Australia, being a close
allies of the United States, was given a
task to carry the dirty job.
Remember, in the
first place the flight destination was
China. How could it ended up in Australian
water or close to the sub-continent.
Hence if MH370 is
not found anywhere in the sea, it could not
be the deliberate plan of the crews to
commit suicide. It would better to dive the
plane at the enemy's home.
The plane cargo
could be the main clue as far as we are
concern. To the Chinese they would probably
be certain if they put the cargo on the
plane to be flown back to Beijing. Najib
could have been told about the cargo but has
to stay mum. Nancy Pelosi said that the
moment any Congressmen blamed CIA for
anything they would come after 'you'. Utusan
Melau had been warned not to expound the CIA
theory.
To most Malaysians
the cold war between USA and China means
nothing, the drone means nothing too. Even
if it is brought down by CIA or Taliban,
they hope everyone is alive. The rest no
revenge and no pain.
To Najib all he
wants is the people must not blame him nor
his administration. He would be happy if the
blamed could be shifted to Anwar Ibrahim.
You may call it crazy notion. But you have
seen too much to dismiss it as a crazy stun.
Until we find the
plane everything said is only a mere
conjecture.
21/04/2014
- Abdul Rahman Raof
THE WORLD
IS FLAT
No modern Malaysians would believe the world
is flat. You would be snubbed and laugh at
even by a tem year old boy. This is the age
when mankind has conquered space, shutting
back and forth on space vehicles and
stationed the satellites on the 4 corners of
the earth. Yet many Americans still believe
that the Earth is flat and does not rotate
on it's axis. If you care to join the Flat
Earth Society by all mean visit the webpage
and become a member.
Several documents on video were arguing and
trying to prove that the earth is flat in
term of our sighting and viewing. Even
looking at the earth through the ISS we
would not see the earth like a ball and
rotating like one. We see it as flat. Then
it is flat by our sighting. Would it not be
better for a space vehicle to stay foot at
the geo-synchronous orbit and see countries
passing bye rather than the spacecraft
flying across those countries.
What is the speed of the rotation at the
point where we are standing ? What do you
imagine if you fly an airplane 100 mph
Eastwards and 100 mph Westwards, is there
such thing as 100 mph + earth rotation and
100 mph - earth rotation ?
My religious teacher told me more than 60
years ago that flat means flat to our eyes.
The shape of the earth is designed cleverly
to create day and night. It made sense.
What if I see clearly the true shape of the
earth in 3D or 4D real form and it's
rotation ? I believe in what I see with a
conscious mind that there might be something
in my religion that I may not understand
yet.
The Christians are worried. The belief of
the non-flat world could drown the faith
among the young and intelligent generations,
except for the occidental converts. I
traveled quite extensively in the United
States and found churches were empty on
Sunday. There are a lot of churches in Las
Vegas for people to have quick marriage.
Try to ask your kids what is the shape of
the earth.

THE SHOWING
OF ANGER
When the government
is unjust people are angry. In the show of
strength and power, backed by the judiciary
and the police force the winning will always
on the government side. As the court passed
judgment the people too made judgment. Worst
thing when thieves sue those who saw and
accused them stealing.
There were many
intolerable cases that fumed maximum anger;
Teoh Beng Huat's death, Major Zaidi court's
proceedings, the reversal of court's
judgment on Anwar and Karpal, the arrogance
of Shahrizat and her husband, and the harsh
words Karpal after his death. The arrest of
those who protest and racial slur thrown on
Ambiga and the Chinese could not be calmed
down by the money given by Najib.
Karpal's funeral has
thousands of mourners who showed their
strength and unity and anger towards those
stupid UMNO idiots with foul mouths. The
police should arrest the Perlis MP and the
Perkasa man and slapped them under seditious
act.
These are never a
good sign for the nation's future.
What is Najib's
trying to do at his talking about millions
of ringgit and the wealth of the nation when
the price is going up day by day ? Is he
thinking MONEY talk and the BRIM would cure
all the disease and everyone will be happy ?
Didn't he learn anything from Sungai Limau
and Kajang ? And now with the demised of Mr
Karpal he should open up his eyes and mind
to sense the reality.
Anger could be shown
in more than one way. The most dangerous is
to dive an airplane down at Putrajaya as
Anwar had pointed out.
Does the government
think quieting the protestors would
evaporate all the anger and the hatred
instilled among the people ?
We have been calling
UMNO to analyze national problems in
relation to UMNO's policy and the attitudes
of it's members. They simply ignore it or
arrived at the conclusion in the simplest
way that they want to see; may it be the
problem in drugs, education, apostasy, crime
or the economy of the Malays. Instead they
defy the accusation on corruption and the
rising spate of crimes. They gave so much
focus on wealth gathering through
developmental and mega projects which robbed
away water catchment areas and our own rice
fields.
When the Malays are
at lost they looked for Mahathir to show
them light to the right path as if Malaysia
only produce one thinking Malay since the
independent. The rest are just like Ibrahim
Ali, Nordin or Noh Omar. So much so they
have to employ foreign consultants to teach
them things.
Intelligent Malays
either refuse to toe the line and stay away
from politics or show their anger by silent
protest. UMNO's effort to draw them back
into it's fraternity would meet with
futility. Only the less brainy will be
deceived. Even the racial card tactic would
not work. DAP members are less wealthy than
the MCA who are around the Prime Ministers
for major projects and favors.
The real strength is
not in the strong police force or pro-BN
judiciary but it is in the sharpness of
thinking and the power of the brain. And in
the modern world brain in mightier than
guns. The mastery of knowledge and skills in
all areas of technology, arts and
administration has it's beginning from the
brain which are accoutered with language
ability and skill. They are followed by a
strong positive attitudes with ethical
conducts. They would be serious with their
work and always pay attention to small
detail.
Bad and
authoritarian government would not last
forever as the momentum for the quest for
knowledge and skill moves at the steady
speed.
Mahathir always want
the Malaysians to come back and work here
for fear of the consolidation of the smart
brains outside the shore.
Within the country
the suppression will drive the hard-core
anti government individuals below the
surface. Once in a blue moon they would
surface to show their anger in a remote way.
The death of Karpal
or Anwar or Lim Kit Siang would not be a
relief to UMNO. One goes a new thousands
stand up.
If UMNO has enough
brain it may ease a little tension and anger
yet it has to be honest and sincere. People
could trace lies and dishonesty.

DECLARING
WAR WITH OWN CITIZENS WON'T PAY
It is indeed a sad
affair that UMNO chooses to declare war on
the people using the large army of cyber
troopers, including the total control of the
Facebook, youtube and the network. You would
notice that nearing the election time you
can't escape from seeing Najib as soon as
you go into web pages like the You Tube.
Right now the Face book is under full
control of UMNO, who would manipulate
postings as they like. They are planting
false information to derail the people.
Deceiving the
populace won't solve the problem. First the
evil continues year after year, wastage and
corruption until it drained off our national
coffer. Though the UMNO guys are getting
wealthier the economic and social sickness
will never recover.
Secondly the
effectiveness of UMNO, gauged from the
result of the two previous by-elections in
Peninsular Malaysia, showed total failure.
Internet censorship and manipulation, the
used of cyber troopers to plant deceitful
information is another waste of resources.
Each day the cost of
living is rising up higher and higher.
Rhetoric had not solve it. The operation on
the middlemen accused of price hiking never
work. Nothing came down but chicken for
Najib.
I pity the young
people who are working for UMNO, yelling
anti Anwar and Karpal at the top of their
voices have to pay more and more each day.
People who fell to their lies and earned
less than RM2000 a month deserve to get what
they are yearning for. They yearn to pay
more. That's all.
You should also know
that the old guards refused to give ways to
the young people whom they think will
jeopardized their future. They need the
young adults for votes, not to replace them.
Why can't they
choose the other alternative to win popular
votes ? They simply cannot shake off their
bad habits, greed, arrogant and egos. Just
try to hear Rosmah's speech; each time she
tries to defend her and her husband, she
made more people angrier at her. People can
feel her sarcastic remarks. And each time
Mahathir was trying to spin facts, he made
more fools of himself.
What is the
different between Putrajaya and people in
the main streets ? Whenever the weather is
extremely hot, the people in Putrajaya
enjoyed a cooling air. Whenever there is
water rationing imposed on the men on the
streets, Putrajaya never had water
difficulty. We, the street people, notice
garbage hunters and criminals waiting for a
prime time to strike. Putrajaya is blind to
what the people down here are sufferings.
Cyber army needs to
have smart people at worst. There was one
guy who wrote '...Kalau pelewat jadi PM tak
tahu apa nak jadi pada negara ini..' ( if a
person who likes sodomy were to become a PM
what could happen to this country). That
would not be a smart statement because such
a provocation could immediately invite an
unwelcoming and abusive response '...how
about a murderer become a PM ? '
Provocation and lies
do not help to recover the image of UMNO.
Censorships too won't be a good remedy. As
days gone by people see and feel the
changes, both good and bad. Najib is
assessing how much he can push the people
together with the money rain. He is very
confident with the power and the capability
of the police.
Anwar was too honest
to tell what the MH370 could have done if
our military is too negligence. The plane
could dive down at the buildings in
Putrajaya. Do we need to say more ?
It is foolish to
assume that the citizens are fools. How
could corruptions be eliminated when Najib
himself paid out a hard cash to the people
for the return favor. UMNO MP condemned the
people who received BRIM for not giving
their votes to the party, calling the
ingratitude citizens. We can't define
corruption as we like and different meaning
to different people. The police chief denied
the allegations of top police taking bribes.
People do not see Najib is serious in
fighting corruption but a mere eye-washed.
People also want to
see criminals be punished. Yet everyone goes
scot-free with Bank Bumiputera, PERWAJA, PKZ
and even the NFC. Whereas Teoh Beng Hock
died over an alleged matter of corruption by
the opposition.
The list of evils
done is beyond this brief description.
Would it be very
difficult for UMNO to be sincere and honest
to gain back the support of the great
majority of the people ? The usage of all
the resources had been exhausted. UMNO
stands because of the Sabahans and the
Sarawakians. That is too bad.
Make Rakyat
Didahulukan a reality or else people would
vomit when hearing the phrase again and
again. The 5 years given is ample to revamp
the party, to clear all the vile and malices,
the greed and avarice.

NIK AZIZ IS
NOT MY ICON
I think I am one of
the most selfish persons in the world. All I
care for is myself. National leaders and
politicians from all parties are not the
people I would be willing to die. This
include Haji Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat who is
know as A Master Teacher ( Tok Guru or Sifu
).
But he is the man
who amazed me most and I think the only man
I would respect the most. And I felt very
disturbed when he was attacked, smashed,
slammed and degraded to the lowest ever
level by what I know as UMNO disciples. They
called upon the anti-corruption agency to
investigate the sponsorship for a pilgrimage
to Mecca, called him an infidel who pray to
idols, and slammed with insult after insult.
One of these people is Ibrahim Ali, the
self-styled Malay Hero.
This poor man is the
poorest among the Chief Ministers since
independent, He is comfortable with the
simplest life-style. Truly I never heard
about his wife, who had never been on the
spotlight. Compare with Najib or Mahathir
they are far apart, trillion light years
different; in every aspect. My respect
towards the opposites are in the reverse
order. And I have a deep hatred against
those who think they are gods.
I see Malaysian
leaders as hypocrites, who lie through their
teeth and continue to deceive the citizens
to fend away the economic brutality, which
drives the rocketing cost of living with the
crazy financial acts. They seem not to
believe or fear God with the treacherous
false promises, and boasted of their good
work. They said they give life to the
Malaysians.
Whereas Nik Aziz is
a very humble and lowly man, living in a
small abode, much lesser than the normal
Malay men whose abode is like the ancient
palace of king of kings. He believes in the
perpetuality of the next world. There is no
greatness in the world, not with status nor
the mountain of wealth, the Presidents and
the Prime Ministers. All will be buried or
cremated. History will determined whether
they are villains or valiant.
I see bigness and
greatness in a small man. There are many
people like Nik Aziz. I can only pray to
meet him again in the next world. As for now
he is just a man who amazed me much, but he
is never my icon.

FULFILLING
OUR DREAM
I
had no dream nor ambition because my mother
was not educated and I lived with my step
father. I was never good in anything at all.
Going to school was just like going to hell.
I realized about the world in 1963 when
there was nearly a world war 3; John F
Kennedy was about to strike Cuba. Each day I
would asked my neighbor what happened, would
there be a war. I hoped for the world war to
escape from the Lower Certificate of
Examination.
Today I realized there are so much things
the world have to offer. I don't have to go
to library anymore. I read stories from my
iPhone 5, a few pages a day when I go for my
dinner at KFC. I have the freedom to write
even with horrible command of English
whenever I want. I can share jokes and
movies with the people of the world. I can
talk to distant friends using ham radio or
computer softwares.
To the young present generation things are
just normal. To those who were born when
electricity was unknown, water only from
well, river and rain, toilets were outside
the house today is a world full of magic.
Our views could be heard all over the world,
pictures and video clips are shared by all
within seconds. Blogs and Facebook enabled
us to be writers. We write our hearts and
our heads off. These would not be possible
60 years ago.
We may not have any dream before but there
are so many chances and opportunities opened
up to us. Thousands of elderly people like
me traveled the world over to see the
beauty, to learn the culture, to taste the
exotic food and to experience the ecstasy of
traveling itself. I remember asking a bus
driver at Indiana University Bloomington in
1982 whether he had ever been to the East.
His reply was, "I have never been out of
Indiana."
Technologies opened up a vast frontier for
the young and old. Imagine an old man like
me having an iPhone and a Samsung Note 3,
two laptops which are always on, and a
couple of ham gears. Movies seldom show old
folks with the modern gadgets. And I have a
little extra than many of my friends; I can
write computer soft wares.
Big dream, big thinking can make a big and
powerful man.We either share their creation
or forced to accept what were left to us by
accident. These were the debris of wars, the
weapons that killed or maimed us and the
hardships and poverty that were forced upon
us by the greedy and the heartless.My wife
told me that she saw a TV program which
showed an officer from the Social Welfare
department visiting a solitary old man to
give RM60 monthly allowance. She asked me
why so little; a question without an answer.
Somewhere people are saying "There must be
life and death, the rich and the poor. It is
all part of our life."
What dream and ambition had the poor and the
homeless who begged for the daily bread,
hunted the garbage bins for any saleable
object ? They hoped for the hard labor jobs
but given away to the citizen of Bangladesh
and the Indonesians. As the price climb the
Ministers told them to be thrifty and to
spend wisely. Those without jobs would
robbed or steal and faced jail term for 2 or
3 years. They never dream of sleeping in the
filthy cells.
There were hardship before independent. And
there are still here long after 1957.
While the lucky ones are happy with the
world today, they must not forget the many
unfortunate people who are struggling for
the bare necessities.

SEIZING
BIBLE BURNING THE KORAN
Which is worst, seizing the bible or burning
the Koran ? And do you believe it that in
the 21st century the Christians killed the
Muslims and pissed on the dead corpses ?
In
the United States religion cannot go to
school. The teaching of creation is banned.
The Pope of Rome has no say in the US
policy, and in fact Catholic Pope of Rome is
ridiculed as anti-Christ.
JAIS
didn't seize bibles in retaliation with the
burning of the Koran and the pissing on
Muslim corpse. They are not happy with the
continuing intention of the church to spread
what the Jews called false religion among
the Muslims. The bible scholars have shown
the contents of the bibles were
contradictory and man made. JAIS just
believe false stuffs cannot be taught to
deceive the people. And on the contrary the
American priests who burnt the Koran saw
Islam through his own eyes.
In
this world there is no absolute freedom,
human right and democracy. Muslim women are
not allowed to dress according to their own
free will. There is a Christian nation that
ban Islam, tore down all the mosques.
Wearing Intifada scarf would invite trouble.
Those who questioned the 9/11 would be
arrested. In the previous Olympic in China
bible was not allowed into the country.
In
Malaysia the attempt to convert the Malay
students are undertaken by the Indian
Christians. I would salute the Chinese
Christians for keeping the religion to
themselves. The Hindus and the Buddhists too
keep their religions to themselves.
Sometimes it made me wonder; why when the
White Christians are jumping out of their
religion the Indians are jumping in.
Men
of science in the West professed nominal
religion but regard
religions as old fashioned and an
opium of the people. Free sex, gay marriage
and drugs are rampant in the West. Younger
generation no longer believe in them. If you
ask 1000 Americans whether they read and
understand the bible, may less then 1% will
say 'NO'. And only handful would know
the many contradictions in the various
versions.
JAIS
has to prove that the bible they seized is
not a true but a fake book. Anything fake is
not legal.
A
bible is a bible. God's book cannot be many
and cannot contain contradictions. There is
only one original bible. It is not faked and
it is not to be seized.
