To whom it may concern,
I think it is time
that you pay back the loan which you took from me.
Your promise of a week's payment has taken more than
5 months. You are a Haj and a Muslim. You went to
Mecca several times, and I always respect you as a
man of God. It was you who told me that some ham
radio guys cannot be trusted with me and tarnish
their images giving me a bad perceptions of those
guys. Now I realize that you are one of them.
Your arch and number one enemy,
also a ham radio operator, told me to HALAL the loan
and forget about it. I was very surprise at his
contention. How I could I when I am very broke now.
I need money to repair my car, and I told you
several times that I was broke. You never reply my
SMS. I am jobless. You should understand it. You are
a big time contractor, getting projects valued a few
millions. You pay cash for a house and you have just
inherit a huge property and your parent's saving of
a few hundred thousands. What is RM500 to you.
Surely you should not keep me waiting in abeyance.
Probably you have been doing this
to many other people as part of your profession.
If I lost RM500, it is sadness
that I feel. It is a lesson for me, not to trust
anybody anymore with any money. But loosing a friend
like you is a blessing. The more people become your
victims it will be the worst for you. At time you
call for help, nobody will go for your help. I am
already glad that I do not have to attend your kids
wedding and when you fall sick or die.
If you can whisper about other
distrusted hams withy money, I too could have
whispered about your honor and integrity to the
sates of Kedah, to JKR, to education department and
to UUM where your relative always call you for
projects. For just 1 RM500 I won't do that. But with
God's retribution as you are a man of a Haji,
someday you may hit very hard down the earth.
You ought to know that I can be
very mean.
This is for your perusal but it is
not the end of it. More to come until you have
settled the loan.
And those repeater users, please
have the courtesy to donate for the use of the
machine. Repeater needs maintenance and upgrading of
components. People travel up the hills to repair so
that the rest can use them. All need money.
Thank you |
IGP-A REAL TOUGH
JOB
Our IGP is
threatened by someone who posted it on the youtube.
I am sure he will be apprehended soon. This rang me
up to the years of 1970s when a number of top cops
of ethnic Chinese were shot one by one. The
assassins were unknown.
Those who
threatened Khalid will not carry out the act. They
are having some psychological problems, anger with
him as many others who are not happy with they
called anomalies or inconsistencies.
Executioners do
not tell the world of their intents or send any
threatening letters. The IRA who was a great menace
were never caught in their bombings. And any
individual planning in murdering someone won't even
tell his closest friends or family members.
In Peninsular
Malaya the Chinese won't rise against the
government. They will use a democratic means to
overthrow BN, by the ballot papers. The police
suspect the Malays to be more militants. At every
Friday prayers the police are there recording the
sermons and in every area division they have at
least one to spy on the people. But the Malays do
not have the means to buy weapons and they could not
be bothered to use any kind of force against the
government.
However the
police must take serious of the threat, not only to
bring the enemies down to their heels but at the
same time must also look back at any complaints made
against the police by the opposition and by the
commoners on the social media.
The job of the
IGP is extremely tough. But at all time he must
weight between the interest of a nation and the
people and the interest of his political master. If
they move in opposite ways he must act or honorably
request for retirement. 1MDB is a big issue to
investigate to find out any element of conning or
blackmailing. The report made by NYT on Rosmah's
spending and the source of payments must be studied
carefully.
I think Khalid
somewhat knows those who threatened him. They have
to some educated young men with strong ideal because
they talked about the evil of democracy. Mahathir
himself had touched a little on the same thing-UMNO
leaderships have to beg from the Chinese.
Khalid does not
have to worry about Najib's premiership. No one can
bring him down. No way. Not even Mahathir. The later
is wrong to say Najib is weak.

NAJIB MUST NOT
ALLOW 1MDB TO SPIN
If I were the
police I would investigate 1MDB, not because of any
suspected crime or wrongdoing but a matter of
precaution. Where big money is concerned checking is
just a normal routine. First 1MDB said Ananda
Krishnan is not involved in the rescuing the company
of a 2 billion dollar bank loan. A while later it was
announced that the loan had been settled. Najib was
asked to clarify whether the government settled the
2 billion dollar debt. Now we are hearing that
Ananda did make the payment. AND 1MDB is asking for
more cash from the Malaysian government.
It is a
shameless and the most immoral spin of the century.
The way things go, I have a strong haunch that some
guys in 1MDB is blackmailing Najib. That is why the
police must step in and dispatch a team of covert
investigators to find out whether there is an
element of blackmailing. Secondly the police must
follow the trail of the money, where the 42 billion
dollar went. There should be several layers of
investigating team.
The police has to be fast and
swift. No more money is to be given to 1MDB. At the
same time national media must stop promoting 1MDB
until the police give a green light. It is a great
to know why all records in 1MDB computers and
mainframes were being deleted, and probably now
being replaced with falls data. The police and the
auditors can always check the trail of the money.
Right now I have a strong haunch that these people
relentlessly are putting pressure on Najib to do and
say what they want.
If the police find there is an
element of a blackmailing then the most severe
action must be taken, quietly and the public need
not be told of the action taken. Remember with the
42 billion they can hire a big time gangsters to
protect them.
With such a hypothesis the police
can start with systematic investigation. Otherwise
they would not know where to begin.
As a concern Malaysian I always
wish 1MDB is not a scam, not run by con men and
there is no element of blackmailing. Arul just need
to tell the truth instead of spinning. For God's
sake stop demanding cash from the government. The
rakyat must not be burdened with filthy failures.

THE LEARNED SHAFIEE
Several times the
Presidents of the UNited States said 'The world is a
safer place without Saddam, Osama, Ghadafi....' Now
those people are not there do we hear anyone saying
'YES the world is at peace now and the Americans can
sleep well...' ?
And I picked a
statement said by Shafiee that putting a Anwar away
is better for the nation. If it was aconspiracy, it
is good for the people and the nation. And Ahmad
Maslan recently said "What Shafiee said about Anwar
is the truth..."
Today the police
are hauling one by one of those who criticize the
apex court judgment. This move had been expected
even before the delivery of the judgment and had
been put in a list of actions. The whole episode, as
I see it, has been the work of the learned Shafiee.
Didn't he play his role to convince the judges as
what he is now doing with the UMNO members on the
roadshow ? Anwar must be put away for the good of
the country.
I can still
remember Shafiee with a sling bag watching
Hishamuddin Rais and others at the speakers corner
in the '70s at University Malaya. I didn't know that
he was a law student. He was much handsome then.
Seeing him like a Mamak, I had guessed he was from
Penang. Most of my History major friends ended up in
politics and becoming some sort of Ministers. Only
40 years later I was told Rosmah was a student too.
But I could not remember her.
I did not know
where Shafiee was during the Student's
demonstration. Neither did I remember Anwar Ibrahim.
I only knew Anwar was arrested. Hishamuddin went
missing, which later I came to know he ran to
England.
Things didn't end
in 1970's. The two names popped up again in the 21st
century when both Shafiee, Anwar and most of the
1970's university graduates are really at dawn,
waiting for the day to meet God. A few like Fatah, a
close friend of Adnan Yaacob, had passed away. I
know Anwar never changed from his schooling days but
I can't tell about Shafiee. Probably they continue
to carry forward their traits. "I want to be a Prime
Minister," said Anwar while he was a school boy. His
mother was a vocal UMNO politician.
The verbal
engagement between Anwar and Shafiee at the Apex
court was nothing strange. True, both were from
Penang and both men knew each other.
What the public
see is different from what Shafiee sees. Judgment
base on fair evidence is different from 'Anwar must
be put away for the good of the nation'. The later
must brush away any evidences and witnesses that
would strengthened Anwar for a sodomist cannot lead
a nation. The court use a different value in
delivering a judgment and the public use the normal
value which they called the fairness.
It is only fair when Saiful is jailed too.
Surely Shafiee and
UMNO leaderships will never accept Saiful as a
candidate at any constituency. If he so to be
trusted and admirable, brave young man, UMNO should
give him a very important post in the party. A
Senator would be the best.
I can bet, our
lerned prosecutor, Shafiee, will be haunted by his
own conscience. He has to force himself to believe
that he is doing the right thing by putting Anwar
away for the best of the nation. But Shafiee must
know the Malays are not all fools and stupid.
When Nik Aziz
passed away there were thousands attended his
funeral. Would it not be possible when somebody else
die people will be called to attend the funeral by
offering a hundred ringgit each ? Let our posterity
be the witness.

WHAT DOES OUR NATION GAIN BY LYING ?
The UMNO run Amanah Saham Kedah had gone down
many long years back. My elder sister, being an UMNO
strong lady, bought the share. At the trailing
sickness they tried to give live to it, calling a
few people whom they thought were experts. When
nothing could be done, more money were wasted by
sending these guys oversea to study how others
manage their coffers, the man in charge asked them
to declare that the ASK was benefiting. The
investments made gave a good return. Fortunate or
unfortunately those people refused to do so.
So when 1MDB chief announced 1Billion profit in
the questionable investment, I was not at all
convince, simply, lies has become the culture taught
by our leaders. They lie on GST that benefit the
people and prices of houses will be down and they
lied a lot before the GE13.
What does our nation gain by lying ? We must
remember the scuffle when Felda decided to put Isa
Samad in the FGV, and saw the extreme degree of
arrogance, pushing everyone aside and ensuring the
public it was a wise move. What are to hear
soon from the plunging of the share price ? We
can be rest assured that Najib or Isa will put the
blame on some others, as they are blaming the sole-towkey
for the shrinking ringgit.
It is true that some individuals will gain, as we
are now seeing in the 1MDB 42 billion dollar debt.
If that amount is shared by 42 persons one will get
a billion each. Even divided 1 million each, you can
imagine the 'chak bo leow' (enough for entire life).
The amount can command a devil to pull a bullock
cart for you. But the citizens will have to pay
through their nose.
Najib announced the increase in the Brim for the
rakyat. Does it bring the prices down and our
economy better ? When Bank Negara announces that our
GDP increase by 20%, does the cost of living stall
or getting lower, and our economy beat the rest of
our neighbors ?
Ku Nan once accused the Chinese were sabotaging
our economy because they want BN to fall. Then we
need to ask Ku Nan since when the Chinese hate the
government and sabotaging our economy ?
Doesn't the government has all the think tanks
mytres?
It would be better for the government to be
really transference as far as our money is
concerned, not to hide what it does to our national
coffer.
The 1MDB issue should be put to public debate so
that the public can truly see the total amount of
money, the debt, the investments, the profit
clearly. The second debate is to call upon all the
financial institutions involving in it's credits or
debits, for clarifications, confirming the truth.
The 42 billion dollar debt, the shrinkage of rubber
and palm oil share prices, the shrinking of ringgit cannot be
welcomed. We all should be scared. Our nation won't
be any stronger.
Lying and deception are weakening the Malays. The
government has to arrest more and more Malays for
some reasons or the other. Mahathir says ISIS exist
because the failure of the Islamic nations. The
Malays are arrested and oppressed because of the
failures of UMNO, and because they voiced what they
thought were the truth. It does not look Islamic. When questions are raised and you
can't answer them, you arrest and jail them.
No wonder the Book of Illuminati says 'people
fear men, not God'.

SHOULD PAS AND UMNO UNITE ?
PAS must not depend on DAP, PKR or UMNO.
The party has been on it's own for decades, rising
and falling. Joining PR to topple UMNO has not been
successful. The party simply cannot mix with DAP.
The party has been accused as a tool for DAP. The
later will never respect PAS to implement Syariah
Law even in Kelantan.
UMNO is a vulture calling PAS deviant and to a
certain extend being suspect as the potential
terrorists. UMNO says that it is a party sent and
ordained by God.
If PAS and DAP do nox mix, so do PAS and UMNO. To
UMNO lying, decepting, currupting, cheating, abusing
of power are not sinful. No action is taken against
the delible-indelebile ink supplier. Prices to
government departments are sorely inflated. And
innocent people are arrested or jailed. When MIC and
MCA meddled with the affairs of Islam, UMNO mumed
about them.
UMNO is a party for the Malays by it's acronym
alone. Whereas Islam composes of all races.
It is better for the two parties to remain split. It
is more natural and it has been that way from the
beginning.
If any Malay wish to be rich and wealthy they should
join UMNO. They can rake a lot of money. PAS could
not give them material wealth and money.
I would predict that if PAS free itself from PR, the
Malays would make themselves available in the
Islamic party. The exodus will be a great one.
Eventually UMNO will be left with some countable
members. The rest should be decided by fate.

WILL THE MALAYS CHOOSE THE CHINESE RULE ?
A day will come
when the Malays prefer Chinese to lead this nation.
At present the current fear is on the fate of
Islamic practices. They see it will be a doom for
Islam with the Chinese leadership. Even if Islam
flourish in Communist China, millions are free to
live the Islamic lives, the Malay fear will remain.
UMNO will continue to put the Malays in horrific
state, especially among the rural folks.
I can assure you that if Lim Kit Siang or his
son, Guan Eng, is a Muslim, in no time the Malays
will opt to Chinese leadership. A Chinese Muslim
does not have to practice Malay culture and
tradition. Many can still remember Admiral Cheng Ho
who sailed to Malacca and other regions in the
Indian Ocean to extend the Chinese maritime and
commercial influence. Cheng Ho was a Muslim. His
full name was Cheng Muhammad Ho.
A religion does not come with a race. A Malay can
be anything and practice any religion. He can be a
Hindu or a Christian or a Jew. Neither has he a
perfect and admirable demeanor. He can be good,
honorable and honest. Or he can be ruthless, evil,
stinking and filthy. For God's sake just do not
trust a person just because he is a Malay or calling
himself a Muslim and dressed himself with Arabic
robe. My mother was cheated of her jewelry and I had
been cheated more than three times by Malay teachers
and a contractor. These are all junk Malays.
At this juncture the Malay fear of DAP still hold
water with the leadership stance on Islamic Law. DAP
leaders are seen as despotic as their UMNO
counterpart. Yet the number of Malays embracing the
once Chinese party is on the rise. It causes a great
panic. Despite the all out campaign the Malay
leaders are beginning to buy homes outside the
country, hoping they could escape persecution in
case of any unpredictable events. And like German
Nazis in South America with totally different
identity, be hunted by Israelis.
BN has to show to the Malays that it has their
support. I doubt the numbers shown by ballot papers
are real and authentic. With huge money, magic
tricks and illusions were played by the Samsengs and
the special squads. Votes and voters are not always
tallied. Even if when the Chinese population outnumbered the
Malays the twinning would be in the favor of
the ruling party.
To stop the day when the Malays will choose the
Chinese as their saviors UMNO has no other
alternative but to play the racial card at the
ground level. To stay in power it will woo the
component parties with promises and goodies "Make
me a King and I will give you what you want".
PAS MUST QUIT PR TO
AVOID MALAY EXODUS TO THE CHINESE The only way to avoid the Malays run to the
Chinese for protection is PAS must be independent
and stand on it's own again. It must not be part of
Pakatan Rakyat or the sympathizes of UMNO. The
Malays will flock to the party to escape the cruelty
of UMNO. It can contest more seats and there is no
way for UMNO to accuse the party as being part of
DAP master.
PAS has ample time to split from PR. The divorce
would be bad for UMNO, and let it be. And PAS does
not lose anything by being alone again. Nobody can
dictate anything.
CHINESE DOMINANT IN 2035 But BN too has predicted the Chinese dominant in
Peninsular Malaysia by 2035 when the young voters
emerge in great numbers. It has to depend on the
Sarawakians and Sabahans. That's the reason for the
new electoral map in those regions to ensure more
seats for BN. The Chinese must try to offset BN,s
plan by pushing themselves out of the densely
populated area to be scattered everywhere else
for the more equal voting distributions.
The normal Malays who have been living together
with the Chinese will not find any different.
MALAYS DEVELOPED HATRED AMONG THEIR OWN KIND a. Only God
knows why there are so many criminals among the
Malays especially at their young age. They broke
into homes, snatching bags, taking and peddling
drugs. Young boys and girls shrieking and showing
off their acrobatic skills on their bike. Parents
attacked and threatened school teachers who
administered discipline their kids.
The young Malays broke into mosques and stole
whatever things that can be liquidated.
b. Inhumane treatment of the Malay government
officers are very intolerable. I can't say the
frequencies of such the case happenings. People were
talking about the police and the town counsel
enforcement officers. I had had an experience with
custom departments. They said nurses had laser
mouths.
c. UMNO members especially someone with a post
were very arrogance. They would be happy if others
bowed, licked their boots, praise them and called
them Dato' or Yang Berhormat. An ordinary school
worker went in and out of the school on his own
will, feared by his own boss.
d. Non-Islamic behavior and acts of the Malay
politicians; the late Nik Aziz is now laid at rest.
His UMNO foes called him infidels and his abode is
surrounded with idols. Mashitah said a single mum
can be a prostitute. She also rejected the Muslim
Holly Book. Najib continue to break his promises
openly. Corruptions have become a norm.
e. The Malay government have been arresting the
Malay Muslims on suspicion they are terrorists.
f. Partisan judges were promoted to the highest
post. They are known as UMNO judges and prosecutors.
Members of the public see them as bias.
Less is argued on the welfare of the Malays in
Singapore. There is no literature about the state of
satisfaction to record their feelings. But it could
have been the Malays in the island are much better
off than the Malays in Peninsular Malaya.
There is a relentless effort to prove the Malays
in Penang are oppressed by the Chinese, either under
MCA, Gerakan or DAP. The rest of the Malays are
following it very closely. If Penang can prove that
the Malays are saved under Chinese rule then the
future can be anything. The preference to the
Chinese rule will be due to the bad perceptions of
the current Malay leaderships.

SIRUL AND ALTANTUYA
There are two
main questions asked by a lot of people; who was
Altantuya to Sirul ? Where did Sirul get the C4 ?
Altantuya was
known to be Abdul Razak Baginda's woman. Razak is a
friend of Najib. It is no interest of Altantuya to
Sirul, Najib's bodyguard. It would be unthinkable
for Sirul to kill Altantuya for no reason. He has no
motive to do so. Like any ordinary policeman,
including the IGP, he will act under order of his
immediate boss. Does this make sense ?
Assume that he
acted on his own will, out of his own insane mind
like any other mentally retarded with disordered
mind, or under the influence of heavy drug, where
did he get the C4 bomb ? All these happened when
Najib was a DPM.
All intelligent
minds are pondering.
We are in the
vortex of evil today, a serious one, which has it's
beginning during Mahathir's era. How could we not
put the blame on Mahathir who was rude enough to
kick Abdullah Badawi out. Yet with all the
turbulence the Malaysians will not act like Korea or
Thailand. The leaders will still be saved.

STRIVE WE WILL
Everyday I talked the
same thing to my wife about the many expensive cars
we saw on the road and palatial houses almost
everywhere. We can afford only the cheapest twenty
four thousand ringgit Produa. With a meager pension,
I have to strive hard for a living. Annual rates,
vehicle insurance and other bills came to about 1K.
At least 20% of the pension goes to the medical
supplies for my bed ridden wife.
We thank God for the providence. We can have what
we want. The saving under ASB gave us some fresh air
to breath.
Yesterday I gathered back some of the old shirts
that I want to bring to Vietnam, a RM2K trip which I
long yearn to go. One red shirt I love very much is
torn. I bought and wore it for more than 30 years.
Most of the others were above 30 years. The colors
are as lustrous as ever, they do not fade. Those
were branded shirts. They really worth the money.
They were the same for my trousers. I do not buy any
new ones for a long time.
I am not so concern of myself. We can survive.
But I know many of those are much worst, all
Malaysians of all ethnic groups. Poverty knows no
boundary nor skin color. There are millions in the
United States too. The poor me can still enjoy good
food and able to take nearby oversea vacation.
Whatever God gives God can take away without
warning. It happened in Iraq, Libya and many other
countries. It can happen in a million of ways. A
patrician can be a plebeian, aristocrat to pauper
beggar.
A few days before the Chinese New Year, I went to
super-market hoping to see a few new cheap shirst
for my Hanoi's visit. The discount was fantastic,
70%, but the price was more than RM200 for a short
sleeve shirt. After more than four visits, I finally
bought a RM70 shirt. I hope it will last at least
for 10 more years. Probably I won't live to see the
sunny day by that time. A man showed me a T-Shirt he
bought in Hong Kong for about RM2K a piece "Cheap.
In Malaysia is twice the price," he told me. Mind
you, the shirt has no radiance, no luster, no color
and to me it worth just RM40.
One ham radio friend, a class B licensee, bought
a house cash and a big four-wheel drive, and he owed
me RM500 and went missing until today. Then I know
people with a big house and a grand expensive car
cannot impress me nor simply could earn my respect
just by their sheer materialistic gadgets.
People just above the poverty level like me are
still poor and facing hardship in life with the
mounting cost of living, the shrinking dollar, the
inconsiderate greedy billion air that are running
our lives and the evil politicians who fear no God
nor believe in religion.

SWEAR BY THE QUARAN
It looks like justice is taking a new look,
swearing by the Quaran is considered the truth and
righteousness. First we saw Najib swore and now
Shafiee. The pinacle to parade their righteousness
is the swearing in Mecca. It was repeatedly said
that Saiful dared to swear but not Anwar.
Someone commented that the Muslims won't tell lie
and won't dare to swear by the Hollybook if they are
guilty. Do we want the swear to be used as evidence
and a court standard ? Then try to cut short the
court proceedings by asking those under criminal
charges just to swear by the Qaran. My prediction is
ALL will take the swear to plead innocent. And the
jails will be only be filled with the non-Muslims.
Even the non-Muslims charged on murder will
eventually convert to Islam and seek the swearing as
the others.
STUDY THIS
MAN EVERY DETAIL OF IT
Like the death of Altantuya, people keep on
asking about Sirul's motive for killing the young
lady and who gave him the C4. There was no interest
of Sirul on Altantuya. It creates doubt and people
are blank. They want to know what were in the
blanks.
Not only the Malaysians were following the
proceedings, the whole world did. And they did so
very closely. And never say those who criticized
court's decision as pro-Anwar Ibrahim and anti-Najib.
But Najib has to be mentioned because Saiful went to
see him. They want to know the motive and what
transpired from the meeting. Any random answers
would not erase suspicion and may not be thr truth.
Lies are traceable by the unfulfilled promises,
not by the swearing of the Quaran. Neither it is
from who said them, a Mamak or a Malay. Look back at
the promises before the GE13, mountains of them. Yet
they said Muslims don't lie. If swearing by the
Hollybook is taken as a standard then cut short the
court proceeding by requring the accuse to swear by
the Quaran.

THE
HORROR
OF
1MDB
I suspect 1MDB is a
conned project planned by a group of con men who
went to see Najib and painted some rosy
picture about's it benefit to the nation. When Najib
agreed to be a guarantor it was the greatest sting
of the century and the saddest event in the history
of Malaysia. These con men spent the money in
manners they wish and like, in unknown and
non-existing project. But who cares because the
government of Malaysia is paying for that. The
burden is on the Rakyat to pay the 42 billion dollar
debt. The GST is geared towards the huge payment.
The UMNO Malays as stupid as
usual attacked those who voiced about the 1MDB,
saying it is a profitable undertakings and it will
benefit the nation. They do not know what had really
happen and how UMNO leaders have been conned for
centuries.
There are two
pertinent questions that need to be looked into. The
first is do the liquid assets plus all other 1MDB
assets attain the value of 42 billion minimum ? Can
the Malaysian government take over the total
management and administration of 1MDB ? Do you think
the 42 billion debt will slowly be reduced or will
keep on climbing ?
The explanation
by TV media of all aspects of 1MDB issue is much better than
the hourly advertisement of GST.
The police must not keep quiet. So is everybody in
the Ministry, Central Bank and more so the UMNO
people. Malaysia must not be drowned just by a
handful of people. If proven the con men had cheated
our Prime Minister then they must be hunted to their
graves, arrest and tortured, and cut their limbs and
let they live.
I think the same error as RM250
millions to the NFC was made by the government. They
did not scrutinize the movement of the money. But
RM250 millions is nothing compared to 42 Billions.
And Najib should not be allowed to sell our country.
When Cabinet Ministers meet they must make sure
Najib is there and bombard him with questions, every
reply must be accompanied by proofs. The cabinet
members must check the authenticity and validity of
Najib's answer. Our nation is at stake. The full
force must act; the police, lawyers, judges. bankers
and everyone else. The nation must be saved.

Chief justice warns those who make unfounded
attacks against judiciary |
Chief Justice Tun Arifin Zakaria has issued a
stern warning to the public that appropriate
action will be taken against those who tarnish
the image and dignity of the judiciary.
His warning came in the wake of criticisms
levelled at the judiciary after the Federal
Court last week upheld the decision of the
Court of Appeal in finding Datuk Seri Anwar
Ibrahim guilty of sodomy.
Arifin said the
judiciary was open to criticism but will not
tolerate unfounded allegation in the social
media and at public forums.
"We view with seriousness such conduct and
will not hesitate to act?'" he said in his
speech during the elevation of four judges
to superior courts at the Palace of Justice
in Putrajaya today.
Arifin said any baseless criticism
against the bench would weaken the
administration of justice and erode public
confidence in the institution.
He said due to advancement in technology,
many displayed their opinions and comments
to what was happening around them in social
media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and
Youtube.
Arifin said their remarks had wide
following although some were unjustified and
could be questioned.
He said it was the responsibility of
everyone to protect the image and dignity of
the bench so that the administration of
justice was unhindered.
"In this regard, I urge, especally the
lawyers not to act in a way that they side
step the rule of law to channel their
dissatisfaction on court judgments," he
added.
He said the public must also be careful
and responsible in their opinions and
comments on social media because of the wide
repercussions.
Arifin, who last week led a five-man
panel to uphol the conviction of Anwar for
sodomy was coy when asked if committal
proceeding will be instituted against the
opposition leader for attacking the
judiciary.
"That one I do not know. It is a
different matter," Arifin told reporters
after attending the elevation ceremony today
of four judges to the superior courts.
Accordng to procedure, it is the
judiciary that will have to begin
proceedings since the incident happened in
the court room.
He said he did not hear what Anwar
uttered from the dock as he had suspended
the proceeding.
"My approach is when what is uttered is not
fair, I just adjourn the proceeding to calm
the tense atmosphere. I did not bolt from
the bench," he added.
He said he had no personal grudge against
anyone and that he wanted to do his duty
with utmost sincerety.
Anwar's outburst was witnessed by those
in the packed court room before Arifin could
decide on the sentence to be imposed.
Arifin, who delivered the 116-page judgment
had earlier ruled that Anwar’ was guilty of
sodomising his former aide Mohd Saiful
Bukhari Azlan in 2008.
Anwar attacked the bench for "bowing to
their political masters and becoming
partners in crime in the murder of the
judiciary".
Anwar told the bench there was something
amiss when the Prime Minister's Office
issued a statement barely minutes after his
conviction was upheld.
"In bowing to political masters they have
disgraced themselves and have become
partners in crime in the murder of the
judiciary," Anwar said, before Arifin asked
lead defence counsel Datuk Seri Gopal Sri
Ram to tell Anwar to stop.
But Sri Ram told Arifin that his client
had the right to address the court, to which
Arifin retorted, "yes, on the appeal but not
to condemn the court".
But the opposition leader continued
attacking the judiciary, adding "you had the
opportunity to right the wrong but you chose
to remain on the dark side".
At this juncture, Arifin and the rest of
the bench members walked out.
Anwar continued to speak and shouted into
the microphone: "I will again, for the third
time, walk into prison but with my head held
high.
"I will not be silent and will fight for
freedom and justice and will never
surrender," Anwar said.
The bench convened later only to affirm the
5-year jail term imposed by the Court of
Appeal last year.
The warning above is carried on by Malaysian
Insider. Below are some of the responses by
the public.
The
rakyat fight back irrespective of who issued the
warning. The article below 'Anwar, judges and
Islam' talked about some of the reasons why
people do not see justice is done. None analyzed
the show of praise by the judge on Saiful but
deeper analysis can show the color of the inner
heart. Judgment must be base on ALL evidences
not by the liking towards individual. In this
case the high praise on the accuser, Saiful the
brave boy.
And
none dare to take the issue of Saiful's father
who had passed away un-peacefully. The
respectable judges, lawyers and all other
mankind who have children would know their sons
and daughters very well. They know which is good
and which is bad and always pray all will become
well. Wouldn't Saiful's father knows his son
well enough ?
I read an article
written by a young man about Saiful did not go
for his call of nature to preserve the sperm in
his anus.
The people knew what
the judge delivered and they also followed the
court case closely. The phrase justice must be
seen to be done is not justice must be seen to
be done by judges.
They even argued on the
movement of the goal post; from rape to
consensual. Surely somebody was asking Saiful to
change the charge so that he could talk of KY
Jelly. Even then Saiful must be charged also. If
two persons committed a murder, and one reported
the other, could he be saved ? Then many top
criminals and murderers can escape justice just
by reporting the others.
The moment an UMNO men
were put as a head of judiciary and an AG and a
DPP, judiciary won't be seen as fair and
partial.

ARE WE REALLY SMART ?
I
was planning to write something about Jokowi but I
tumbled across a beautiful essay pasted below. Rama
talked about the process of judiciary, not so much
on Anwar Ibrahim. Truly indeed most intelligent
Malaysians do not matter Anwar but on how the
judgment came about. Millions perceived as what Rama
is saying but do not have the language ability to
express their thoughts.
The other lawyers of the world viewed Anwar's case
as what Rama sees. People are not dumb.
The Malaysians have been suffering from some kind of
withdrawal, psychological in nature, uncontrolled
ego of superiority complex, arrogant and adamant.
They have been very ruthless, even to hurt the
feeling of the newly elected Indonesian President
who said that the most painful experience was when
he first visit Malaysia. We presented to him that
the Indonesians are beggars who intrude into this
country illegally.
We attacked Porntip and other outside lawyers, not
to mention how we treat our own people. Yet with our
mental prowess we lost Pulau Batu Puteh.
With the declining ringgit we blamed an individual
of a sabotage. How could a great nation like us with
great lawmakers, judges and lawyers and economists
be swallowed by just one man ? The strength of our
dollar does not purely happen on the buying and
selling of currencies. Thailand and Indonesia have
gain strength over Malaysia for years even before
the declining ringgit.
We will keep blaming other individuals for the rest
of our lives. I hope to hear names on the declining
of rubber price and palm oil during our bad economy.
If we believe in saboteur it means we have enemies
in our midst. Showing our muscles and using foul
mouth do scare our enemies. People will have to
fight back under pressure. Running amok and hacking
everyone that oppose you will not touch those who
are better than you. You may be right if you think
they hit back at you.
After hurting Jokowi and jailing Anwar, they are now
fighting to bring the price down. First they
attacked the Chinese. Then the wholesaler. And now
the middlemen. They are talking about getting rid of
the middlemen. These smart Ministers spent most of
their time in Putrajaya under the very cool room,
some negotiating with big time business lords, while
an ordinary man like me, went to the source of sea
catch. Prawns taking up from a boat were tagged at
RM75 a kilo. There was no middleman and no Chinese.
Who loves middlemen ? Number one and the top
middleman's lover is Dr Mahathir. He created
middleman in the purchase of electrical energy, a
middleman in sewerage disposal, and the middleman in
other undertakings. Please, observe the public
services and utilities that have to go through the
third party, including the collection of GST and the
Income Tax.
The only smart person in Malaysia is our Prime
Minister, Dato' Najib. Mahathir cannot bring him
down, never and no way.

GOVERNMENT CYBER
TROOPERS
It is a new job openings for you
if you are still unemployed. They have an office
with a boss. Your job is to comment whatever on the
blogs, facebook or any other social media. These
people will swarm any negative comments on BN
politicians, judiciary and anything at all of
government's projects and policy. You don't have to
be a college graduates, from the looks of the
arguments they are not so intelligent. A few who
commented in English seemed to be a little educated.
But you need to be careful in
attacking a certain issue because it can be a
reverse publicity, like the Zunar Cartoon which is
heavily bombarded "Don't buy the stupid book. It is
nothing inside" may awake greater curiosity. People
will continue looking for the copies. In fact there
are guys who have been trying to look for the free
cartoon on the website.
The job is well
paid. Even if you write stupid comments people won't
know your real ID. The most is they will laugh at
the stupidity exhibit. And when everyone know the BN
cyber troopers are posting comments, everyone will
ignore them. You will still earn your salary. If you
are single and living in Putrajaya the salary is
more than enough because you can buy cheap food at
the office canteens, which are even cheaper than the
cheapest towns.
But I have to warn you before you
decide to work as a BN cyber trooper. You have to
accept any future consequences if misfortunes befell
this nation out of the defended corruption, wastage
and abuse of public funds. You cannot regret of you
and your posterity are struggling hard for survival.
Isn't everything has a price ?

HAUNTED BY OWN CONSCIENCE |
George
Bush, after retirement, went back to the ground to
assess the hardships he had caused on the Americans.
We later heard that he was arrested for dangerous
driving. Drugs were found on him. I was told he is
on drug now. Could drug erase his hallucination ?
I asked
a lawyer why he defended a drug dealer and his reply
was 'as far as I am concern he is innocent'.
I knew he was trying to clear his conscience knowing
what he did was wrong. And many people will be
haunted by their own conscience in their later life.
Musa Hassan said that he was ordered to act and as a
police he has to obey his boss. Khalid will come out
with the same answer later, which I think it is
true. Surely Rosmah won't keep quite when an attempt
is made to shame her by Zunar's cartoon. Khalid has
to be called to stop Zunar and his books. The public
must be intimidated not to read the book. Only after
Khalid retire the citizens will know the state of
his conscience.
As I
see, Shafiee wants to be CAPTAIN MALAYSIA, a copy of
Captain America, a hero to rescue and save his
nation against the enemy. He stretched his arms to
save Najib and oher BN leaders, defending them even
without invitation. If he is the master planner in
Anwar's Sodomy II he will be haunted by his
conscience at all time. We can read his mind by
listening to his other words now and after. I have
heard some and I have concluded from my
observations.
As I am
a strong believer in God's retribution and
comeuppance, I sense something big will happen soon,
something unknown and unpredictable. I am waiting to
see what it is.
Even the
American hero who killed Osama ben Laden is living
with his conscience. He won't forget shooting a
defenseless man. His mind keeps on reminding him
that he killed a terrorist.
If an
act of cruelty is considered a normal phenomena, a
need for survival and everything is justified, and a
man can sleep soundly with the heinous act then I
would not say he is a human. The murderers of
Sosilawati had killed more than one person, and the
Mona Fandi who could bear to see the dismembered
body are all not human being. They were species
without consciences. Do you still remember Jeremy
whose facial countenance looked so innocent with the
ketayap on his head ?
I have
friends who are great swaggerers. They bragged. They
wanted to tell people that they the best and
perfect. They want the masses to be fearful of them.
I don't know why they have to be Mamaks. I
also have thousands of Chinese friends. Believe me,
none of those thousands shows any pomposity.
Emotionally stabled person does not continue to
belittle his enemy after winning the battle or after
his death. I am sorry to say that the learned
Shafiee continued to bark after his enemy had
fallen, like a savage who cut the heart of his enemy
and much it. He will not be satisfied even if Anwar
is dead. Just observe and hear his words. And
Ibrahim Ali's mind could not rest well as well. He
should know that a plane was chartered just to go to
see Tuan Haji Nik Aziz's funeral.
It is
too early to exhibit the state of one's conscience
by an insane amok, no sign of calmness and
tranquility. All these actors are over 60 and on the
verge of their dawn. I am afraid that for the rest
of their lives they will be haunted by their own
consciences. They will talk and talk and talk to
anyone at all but they will never achieve calmness
and satisfaction.
A man
told me,"Cikgu, I have millions. But the money is
useless to me now."
Think
again, how could a person be haunted by his own
conscience if he hasn't got one ?

TUAN HAJI NIK AZIZ, WE WILL FOLLOW YOU |
The time has come to Haji Nik Aziz, The rest of us
will follow him later. Soon to follow him was Haji
Hasbullah Awang and a woman waiting for a bus hit by
a container. Nik Aziz dies at 84, Hasbullah at 63,
and the lady(Yao Hong) at 47.
Haji Nik Aziz was a Chief Minister of the state of
Kelantan, a leader known for his simplicity in every
aspect of his life.
The national media, TV1, last night did not say much
about Nik Aziz as compared to the high praise given
to Hasbullah Awang. Sabry Cheek called Hasbullah a
legend and the coverage took a long air time.
However the alternative media focused much on the
former Kelantan's head.
I remember Tuan Haji Nik Aziz as a devoted man,
practice simplicity that no other leader in this
country can do. Let his soul be well accommodated.

NASIONALISM IN SABAH AND SARAWAK
The Sabahans and Sarawakians put BN in power. Now
thought of independent begins to germinate and the
police is determined to nip it in the bud. That's
how the history of free nation began. From the
sentiment to protest and to war. The Americans
fought the British to free themselves from the
Crown. Malayan nationalism did not begin in the 20th
century. In the deep mainland there were Mat Kilau,
Dato' Bahaman and Tok Janggut who were against the
British. In the Straits of Settlement the Middle
Eastern educated groups started their own movements,
to improve the Malays through several form of
vocational education.
The feeling of anti Putrajaya among the Sabahans and
the Sarawakians loom as they felt they are being
discriminated. A few regard Malaya as a colonizer. |
|
|
The secessionist group is growing and the Federal
government began it's arrest on the Sabah's
nationalist group. The secession movement is called
SSKM, Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia. An arrest
warrant on Doris Jones was issued for her several
postings on social media calling for the people to
raise up against Putrajaya.
Nationalism of the current centuries takes in
different form. It is no more a heroic movement
against the bad and ugly colonial and imperialist
power. They are now known as terrorists. The
Palestinians who fought for their homeland are
terrorists, the Muslim Thais who fought for autonomy
are terrorists, the Tibetans and the Uighurs are
terrorists. It is a matter of time when the SSKM
movements are labeled terrorists groups.
Though the Dayaks and the Kadazans are more
intelligent than the Malays, they are easily brought
to their heels. Putrajaya is described as the Master
of Illusions. The masses succumb to it's deception.
Even Mahathir was overwhelmed.
Malaysia is blessed by good people, who do not have
the animal instinct of arms uprising and the minds
of the IRA. The reason is simple. Even poor people
do not die of starvation. Those who are critical
against the government are educated and earned more
than the basic needs.

LET SAIFUL CONTEST
IN THE BY-ELECTION
Permatang
Pauh should be given to a man of courage, Saiful,
who single handedly downed the giant. How high the
praise was given by our learned judge on this young
hero. I think UMNO has the best candidate for the
by-election. I hope to hear some proposal from the
UMNO top echelon as to the likely candidate.
Saiful has
always want to be somebody. He was not good enough
to be a pilot. Further more air-plane is not safe
nowadays. There have been a lot of accidences these
days. There is no better profession for Saiful other
than becoming a Yang Berhormat. If his star shines,
he may be very well one day becoming a Prime
Minister of Malaysia.
Cheating or
not, I want Saiful to win. He is one of the young
men Mahathir has been talking about, to rejuvenate
UMNO. The faster he is in the better because 2020 is
just a few yards away. A man who downed a giant can
be at the apex in the shortest time.
Good luck to
the fine, brave and courageous man.

ANWAR IBRAHIM FOUND
GUILTY
Ariffin found
Anwar Ibrahim guilty and in his judgment he praised
Saiful for being brave and courageous.
"It takes a lot of courage for a young man like him to make such a disparaging complaint against a well-known politician like the appellant.
"Knowing that such an allegation might taint him, we cannot ignore the lifelong negative effect such a serious allegation would have on him and his family even if it was proven to be true"
And someone was yelling about
where Saiful get his bravery from. He went to see
Najib and the police before bringing up the charge.
He wanted to be somebody, a pilot by the short-cut
method.
Ariffin also mentioned
that Saiful hid nothing, even told of the KY Jelly.
He added that Saiful had also spoken about the previous encounters he had with Anwar, the unpleasant sensation of pain and the reason for bringing the KY jelly, a lubricant.
"He hid nothing.
"
Interesting. Saiful brought
the KY Jelly as if for the intercourse to reduce the
sensation of pain. Women having sex with well
endowed manhood never have the sensation of pain
after using KY Jelly. But Saiful complained to the
first doctor that his anus felt the pain.
It is true that the young man
will suffer for the rest of his life. If it is the
truth that he is being 'rape' then society will show
sympathy. Many victims of rape live without mental
agony after some time. But if Saiful is viewed as a
devil then he will be disrespected and insulted for
the rest of his life.
Didn't Ariffin show sentiment
on his delivery ? Analyze his words.
Saiful claims justice as a
victim.
A victim will never be allowed
himself to be sodomized. Even on the first occasion
he could have threatened Anwar. What if a woman
offered sex to you claim that she is a victim and
that you rape her ? How could a victim brought KY
Jelly for the sexual session ?
A verdict is a verdict.
People can still form opinions. Just read these
opinions and ponder the strength.
To some God does not exist.
Religion is a mere tool.

CLASS SOCIETY |
Once in
Belgium I saw dirty walls sprayed with words like
PIG and BASTARD, then I knew almost all over the
world mankind is the same. People are of different
characters and sentiments. They cannot be equal and
the same in every way. Nature creates mankind of
different categories, types and strata. We know of
the basic division ; the Ruling Class and the
Working Class. The Varna's division is more
elaborate; the Brahmin, Ksatria, Vaisyas and the
Sudras. The Brahmin is the religious specialist,
Ksatriya provides defense, the Vaisyas doing the
business and the Sudras are the laborers. Ghandi
said that he considered himself as an outcast but he
would not destroy Hindu Religion by attempting to go
against it.
Classes in
society is an integral part of human organization,
but as to who should be in each class is not
determined by birth. People can be selected and
group by behaviors, ability, belief, educational
level or socio-economic standard. Each class has
it's own codes and culture and anyone can be the
member of the class if he fits the requirement. If
the requirement cannot be met he has to leave the
group.
You can
form a club and have a set of rules to be followed.
Club etiquettes are dear and must be well observed.
Only individuals of excellent breeds are welcomed. A civilize person will not force himself to be a
member of the club using any devious means, like
using the power of a judge to force membership. The
sanctity of the club will be destroyed.
A high
class person could be defined in different way,
depending on the perception of the group. Similarly
as to the definition of the word STUPID. A writer,
philosopher, inventor or a great scientist exhibit
different personal traits as compared to a school
dropout who spend most of his time with his gang
member.
A test
or exam is one of the methods of classifying
people's ability. It has been used for a long time
in China. The system must be very well administered.
Studying for the test from the pools of questions
and recognizing the right answers can make a
candidate pass. Yet he does not have the knowledge
and understanding of the real substance. Today kids
go to tuition class to go through all the objective
questions and start to remember the correct answers.
When
tests are well designed and administered it can also
act as a control, classifying attitudes and
aptitudes, filtering candidates into a various
streams relevant to their abilities and
achievements. Descriptive is always better than the
objective types.
At
least TEST can determine into which economic
division one belongs to, not by a mere birth.
Persons
from aristocratic families, with immense wealth and
power would perceived themselves as the top rank of
the society. They tend to group together through
exclusive clubs where exuberance is the pride of
it's members. Dress codes and luxuries would be
paraded to assert their class. Academic and
professional qualification has never been a
criteria.
"This
is a democratic country. We are all born equal and
have an equal right to everything. Any person has
the right to be anything he wants." It is a
common commotion we always hear. It has long been
fought by the untouchables outside the cast
in India. It is too disgusting, contemptible and a
great humiliation to bar a fellow human race from
consuming goods blessed by God, like drinking water
or sunshine. Free beaches are slowly taken away in
many places.
In the
modern world one has to work one's way to the class
one chooses and has to abide by the culture and
standard set. None could rush in and set his own
rule and does thing his own way. If he wish a body
of complete freedom, he can start to form his own
and open his world to every Dick, Tom and Harry.
Once
the Communists claim of a classless society. But the
ruling and the army class enjoy different facets of
life.
The
multiplicity of professions itself classes have been
created; the teachers union, the lawyers, the
doctors, engineers and the scientists. Each has it's
own ethics and, only open it's door to the person of
the same profession. It won't make sense and a great
absurdity to say 'this is a democratic country, a
man can be a member of any profession'. And it
won't sense if a laborer demands a minimum salary of
that of a doctor or a lawyer.
Classes
may be formed of a cast system or profession
or economic well being. They bloomed
naturally by selection, influenced by human
sentiments.
If
tradition and ethics are not observed, rest assured,
there will be chaos and degradation of society.

CON
MAN
PREYING
ON
UMNO
I know UMNO leaders as well as
the Malays, how they were being conned and who conned
them. Top UMNO leaders have always been conned and
deceived. 1MDB is just one of them but this is too
much that could drown the country, and drag
the populace into hardship. And these people in the
1MDB is lying though their teeth. The sting is too
bad. I feel so very sad for I have seen too many
stupid Malays. They are sentimental and
love to hear praises and high complements.
If 1MDB
can be proven as a criminal undertaking beginning
with a malicious intent to cheat the government then
the whole setup is deemed illegal. All agreements and
transactions are void. The government has
nothing to do with them and not bound to any kind of
1MDB transaction. Any
loan must be paid by those criminals, not by the
government of Malaysia. The Rakyat must not be
forced to pay the loan.
The
police, UMNO members and other ministers must wake
up and try to understand how top criminals operate. A
special unit must be formed to follow those who
frequent Ministers homes and offices. The
police must be quick to act to save
those innocent people as well as the rakyat. All along
I believe Najib is innocent in the 1MDB farce. And I
believe he is one of the victims of those con man.
This
nation must be saved, not by opposition but by all
the people. The judiciary must put their heads
together for the tough and colossal tasks. It is a
big battle against money and a highest degree of
temptation and discipline, able to reject all amount
of corruption. We know what billions can do. And we
can't let fear besiege us. There are a few in this
world who can conquer temptation. When nation is
about to crack and fall, let not just stay and
watch. We will be drowned together; the Malays,
Chinese and the Indians.
Who were
responsible in coaxing our leaders to sign 1MDB
agreement of support and as guarantee ? As I have
said before they must be put to suffer for the rest
of their lives.
So far
the people who have been cheating and conning a few
Yang Berhormat escaped scot-free. They came quietly
and leave unnoticely. The victims were too shy to
divulge that they are being cheated. These are the UMNO Yang Berhormats chosen by God to rule ? Instead
of saving the country the UMNO goons become
spokesmen for the stupid leaders.
Even the
stupid clerics are calling the Malays and the
Muslims not to complain on their leaders. It has
been destined by God even before they were born. We
heard this every time during the election campaigns.
Misfortunes that befell were determined by the
Almighty. 1MDB
is also predestined project. To these we have to
tell them that every criticism and
opposition and protests were also predestined to
happen. It is also the work of fates. They can
wronged no man for taking up arms as it is fated by
the Creator.
Con men
love UMNO leaders very much, easy to ride to get
land and properties and other big business interests.
Those poor UMNO who can afford to pay for Samseng's
protection do not get the high class dare-to-die devil
protectors. It takes millions to have the dirtiest
ever gang lords. Shahidan declared that he was
starving due to his small salary . At least 95%
of UMNO guys will never have a chance to touch the 1MDB
billions. Even after siphoning and killing the Bank
Rakyat, they still keep on begging.
The
Malays cannot be told that they are stupid. They can
hack you for that. They
think they are the smartest. Jokowi visited Malaysia
to benefit how we manage our economy and to learn
from us. They are too lame to know that Indonesia
and Thailand's economy are ahead of Malaysia today.
At the same time they are easily
manipulated, and lied upon. 1MDB lied to rakyat,
UMNO members and PM that the Cayman fund has been
transferred when they are not. They lied to Agung
and the God.
Malaysians know what they are talking about. They
are talking about the mounting debt which the
Malaysian government is promising payments and the 2
billion investment in the non-existing blank. Najib
never address the where about of these billions. A
stupid man like me thinks in a stupid way ; the
interest on you is a dollar but your maximum profit
is twenty cents. And if Malaysia thinks of making
money through foreign
investment, won't all other countries think as
well ? If you believe what these UMNO told
you about Malaysia being the best in the world, it
is just like North Korea was telling the citizens that
North Korea is the World Cup Winner of 2014.
How do
we know whether we are in deep trouble or not ?
Government's coffer is empty. That's the reason we
need the GST. In theory GST provide colossal
amount of money that would be able to pay back any
loan, and spend more to buy votes and to retain
power. In real life, not all collected money will go to the
government. The collection method is farmed to the
third party. In the end it will become like the
United States; the US government has no money for
the medicare and to create full employment.
Americans were losing homes.
Praise...praise... and praise.. PERWAJA lost the
money, PKZ lost the money, Bank Bumi evaporated, MAS
gone haywire, billions went missing, ringgit
shrink...Praise...praise and praise.

NEXT TRIP - TO HANOI |
5
days 4 nights RM1999 says a Malay Travel Agent. You
will be thinking that you are paying that much for
those number of days and nights. But it isn't. The
journey starts from Kuala Lumpur at about 8 pm. The
day you gather at the airport until the flight is
one day and the day you fly back is another day. A
night on the air plane is considered as a night. I
paid RM2652 for a three day tour of North Vietnam,
not the whole country but Hanoi and the Bay area.
If you don't consider it a cheat, surely it is a
form of deception. Almost all the businessmen are
the same. They won't go for optimizing profit. They
go for profit maximization. " We don't force
you to buy ", they would say.
Reliance Travel used to be the most expensive. You
get what you pay. I went to USA twice and Europe
once with this agency. The hotel was excellent. My
only problem was with the Halal food. I would not
say Reliance intend to deceive us.
I
have never been to Hanoi. March will be my first
trip flying Vietnam Air, which I have sat before to
Saigon. It was so much better than Air Asia in term
of services. I smell arrogance in Air Asia starting
from the ticketing point till the flight attendance.
Fly Business for better smile and services.
Surely it would be cruel of me to leave my sick wife
for almost a week. I have yet to make arrangement
for transportation to dialysis center. I usually
took the ambulance from the same center. And my
brother in law will be helping a lot during my
absence. I might die first before my wife and many
of my sickly radio friends.
I
am never scared of flight accidence. Everyone will
die in the fated way. Today, the Friday sermon,
talked of the fate of the Malaysians, to be rich or
poor. People should not feel bad or jealous if
someone is wealthy and should not complain if one is
poor. It is all fated. The different between the
religious sermon and my belief is that mine is
non-political and truly in the true faith whereas
the cleric 's delivery was from the
government.
My 5 day trip is the opportunity for me to send my
Kancil for overhauling. Maniam, the mechanic, will
do the job and I am willing to pay for the original
components. I know the engine will be as good as
new. It will be the main transporter for some time
to the dialysis center. My wife changed her mind on
buying a new car.
Probably I would not go to Dayton Hamvention. This
replaced the US visit. The risk of visiting United
States you may be turned back on suspicion of a
terrorist. Today a terrorist has so many definition;
having a Palestinian flag, Islamic scarf, having a
beard, a Muslim and a Muslim's name.
Once we were barred from entering Communist
countries. I really don't know the main reason.
Today millions visited China and Vietnam.
We pay less when visiting these countries.

GREED, AVARICE
AND PROFITEERING |
One of the food shop I hated most is Mee Abu. The
Apom Lenggang cost almost a dollar each while at the
the Giant Wet Market it is sold at RM0.30.
Everything you buy cost more than any other food
vendors. It has been a long time that I did not go
to Mee Abu.
Food price at hotels are worst. A steak is now
RM45. At Puteh Seroja it is only RM16.
I
used to buy a 100Plus from the bending machine
costing me a dollar. The same tin would be charged
RM2 by the Mamak restaurants.
But people never stopped buying.
It is difficult to know how great greed are among
the people. It is not owned by a race or a
nationality. It can be in any man, business or
otherwise. The other day a beggar came to my home
and returned my RM0.50 coin and walked away. He
probably wanted at least a dollar. And a wealthy
contractor had a gut of taking a RM500 loan from me
and never to return until now.
We always find employees who are never enough with
their salaries and keep on demanding for more. The
law makers said they hardly survive with their
meager income. The lorries which were to send relief
supplies to the flood victims went missing recently.
Greed knows no boundary and no race.
Whenever a decision on a certain policy is
formulated it must take into account of human
behaviors. They are to be examined in detail. Didn't
the policy maker know that it is very difficult for
the increasing price of items to go down ? It is the
price behavior in capitalist countries. Private
enterprise and individuals want to maximize profits.
Travelers would know that touring Communist
countries like China and Vietnam are much cheaper
than the capitalist nations.
Pushing the price of gasoline, electrical and other
tariffs will push commodity price up. Bringing down
their prices at a later date will not pull the price
down . It is somewhat a natural price behavior of
human being, a phenomena in any capitalistic society
and nations.
Profiteering and thefts are identical. Telcos steal
money in many ways and the government is mum about
it. Insurance companies are one of the worst, and
government approved them. Public funds were openly
robbed and given to cronies like the RM250 million
to NFC. You can't throw the blame of the Chinese for
profiteering only without looking at those who abet
in the plundering of public funds. You can't cover
the great stupidity of a big politician who let
himself being conned by the 1MDB con men. It is a
far bigger avarice than the greedy business people.
The Mamak and the Malay companies too are squeezing
on the poor people.
Ismail Sabry has the right to be emotional and
angry, calling the Malays to boycott Chinese shops.
But it is not his absolute right to wildly accused
Ngeh as owner of a certain business, because Ngeh or
his family member does not own the company. It is a
disease brought down by Mashitah Ibrahim who said
that the Chinese burnt the Koran. They both deserved
to be whipped.
The government should have summoned the importers
and the wholesalers to investigate the price
situation, and prepare to listen to real facts and
excuses and lies told. If the government is deemed
weak and corrupt then the business communities
will surely bully the officers and the ministers. If
it is respected we can expect some good news and
results.
What can the Malays boycott when they do not plant
padi anymore ? Malay fishermen keep on putting
higher and higher tags on sea products. If greedy is
the word to be used then the Malays are as greedy as
any other races of the world. Even the Malay
resellers procure their goods from the Chinese. We
should ask Sabry what commodities and foodstuffs
which he consumes come from the complete Malay
source.
You may not heard of Gemilang Burger. In one outlet
more than 70% of the customers are Chinese.

CAN'T FIGHT
AGEING ? |
It has been quite a long time that I had stopped
writing application codes. The money I get did not
commensurate the time and energy put into it. And
some were done for free. A school does not pay me,
even RM200, as promised for upgrading the time
attendance with a new feature. And I was rage with a
computer technician of my old school which is now
known as Vocational College, for manipulating
applications. The upgrade version of the time
attendance was found missing. It annoyed me
immensely.
Probably it had been more than a year I left
programming.
I
am a street programmer, writing codes without
systems and plan. I never draft and flow chart. I
would sit in front of my lap-top and typed and
typed, test, amend and finally compiled.
The Time Attendance composes of two programs; one
for the user to register their attendance either
using their thumbs or RFID cards. If the RFID card
is used the picture of the card waver will be
recorded by the computer. The second program is the
administration program that is installed in the
other room for monitoring, printing, writing message
and analyzing attendances.
They are linked through a network. The Database is
Mysql.
The other day I rang up the school to find out the
new requirement for the entry level as the new
system,PBS, is applied. After a conversation I asked
whether they still use my software. It has been more
than 12 years used as a punch card.
It is a hard time for me to look for the original
software. I have several versions upgraded from time
to time with additional utilities. And I don't even
remember how to use my SQL command to check back the
tables and the field names. I don't even remember
how to use my Manager application I wrote for
various jobs. I didn't know anymore how to run MySql
command through DOS like making backup and
retrieving it into the database.
Ageing can be that bad and I felt that God has His
way to take us away from this temporary world. It
took me more than 10 hours to recover my SQL command
and slowly altered tables by some tricky ways.
Tonight I have to trace whether it would click a
photo when the card is wiped through it.
People tend to think they can fight ageing by taking
supplements and exercising. I exercise almost
everyday. My hair went white without stoppage,
movements are slowing down, and the strength is
weakening. Forgetfulness harassed me most.
My plan to go into Apple OS and Android programming
have to stop. I hope I can recover and complete the
college software as soon as possible. But I would
not know how soon.

ENJOYING CW
SWLing |
My low dipole antenna is not able to reach Europe
and Americas for the CW stations. I am fond of
monitoring on the 7MHZ and have passion on listening
to CW ragchewing. From my home I only could hear
Indonesians on the CW band communicating on SSB.
Occasionally I could hear N6TT and JA1NUT having a
long chat at about 20-25 wpm. They do not use
computer for Morse communication.
I
have no passion for computer CW at all. And I prefer
to copy by listening rather by writting.
This morning I went into websdr.org
using my Lenovo. This time the server traced that
I was using a mobile and I have to pressed a button
to go into it. The setup differs from the desktop.
Somehow I managed to tune to the frequency I
desired. CW on the DX band did not fail me.
I
locked to a couple of stations having a ragchew at
the speed of JA1NUT and N6TT. They were also not
using computer. But at speed greater than 18 wpm one
has to use electronic key. Manual pounding to attain
25 wpm is almost difficult to most men.
Now I can enjoy SWLing using my mobile whenever I am
able to lock to free wifi.
I
find the American hams like having a long chat on
Morse rather than the rubber stamp exchange of
messages. The image above is used by S51M from
Slovenia. He is just calling CQ and making normal
contacts with as many stations as possible.
If anyone ask you where to find CW stations, tell
them to go to Websdr.org.

WHAT THIS MAN SAYS
ABOUT BIBLE
The Muslims must
believe in 4 Original Holly Books-Quaran, Torah (Taurat),
Palsms (Zabur) and Gospel (Injil). Let the Malaysian
Muslims hear what the man in the video says about
Bible.

HAM RADIO -
TASTES AREN'T THE SAME |
Some of the Malaysian hams are fond of belittling
each other. The lashing went from the antenna system
to the common abuse of the use of the call signs.
And I am one who get the most bashing. Would I care
?
I
was in the ham radio since early 1970s. We were told
to ignore any deliberate QRM. And that was what I
used as my guidance, to ignore criticism and proceed
with my own stand. If anyone is setting up a super
duper station I would praise him. If anyone has the
bare minimum set up I would not criticize him also.
Some hams like RTTY. Others prefer telephony. And
others, like me, love Morse codes. Yet there are
those who love communication with the International
Space Station and other roaming satellites. Each has
his own taste. People's tastes aren't of the same.
I
went on RTTY but stopped in no time. While others
were working satellites, I was busy with DXing with
stations on the North and South poles, a rare place
much father than the satellites. CW helped me to
continue having communication when I suffered from
coughing and sore-throat, and I remember a Malaysian
ham who suffered from a throat cancer but continue
to be on the air on CW till his last day. 9M2GL was
one of the longest on AMTOR mode. He even
experimented on SSTV.
The whole face of global communication changed with
the advent of World Wide Web and proliferation of
chatting software with audio and video capabilities.
In the beginning was just a simple IRC chat where
windows of the world were opened to all, reaching
people thousands of miles away just by pressing the
keys on the keyboard. A friend of mine said, "I
contacted with my office mate who is in London
everyday with audio and video without a ham radio."
And I would guess that at least 50% of the Malaysian
hams are communicating among themselves using
computers. Rather than going RTTY or AMTOR, I would
prefer online communication. I don't have to spend
more money on interfacing gadgets. Again, it is just
a matter of taste.
I
believe that we have to keep our mind alert and
sharp. Ageing tend to take those away. Retired
people prefer to rest their body and mind. One way
to keep my mind alert and active is to listen to
Morse codes. Lucky for me I made my own soft ware
which allows me to run text files in the CW tones
while I work on something else. I would not be able
to comprehend RTTY or AMTOR but I could do so with
Morse codes even while I was in my bathroom.
To
me it is a real crazy when we have radios yet we
talked to each other using hand-phones, even though
it may be free, or to call a ham friend to open up a
window chat. But what may sound crazy for me may not
be to all others. People's taste are different.

RETRIBUTION TO MAHATHIR |
One of the greatest mistakes I made was thinking
that Mahathir would continue to rule until his
death. Those were the days when the police were
swarming mosques, all the Islamic festivals and
Kenduris. Like the West Mahathir saw Muslims in
Malaysia as potential terrorists, which the police
found nothing. He was the law. Anti-Mahathirsm among
non-UMNO members were so thick that he was even
called the Pharaoh, the most detestable despotic
ruler in the history of Islam. He made his own rule
to ruin Bank Bumi, MAS, Perwaja and opened up the
land grabbing schemes where hills, forests and
agriculture land were razed and raped by those with
bottomless lust.
He himself wanted shares for his kids, friends
and his family. He design major projects, making
agreements in favor of his chosen contractors. When
Pak Lah delayed his major projects he kicked the
former Prime Minister and placed Najib as the new
PM. He got the projects and the money.
Today he sees something horrifying things are
happening. Our dollar is shrinking badly which
pushes import food and gadgets price up, our loan
payment increase by leaps and bound, and a string of
bad luck is sweeping our nations. Najib used money
to make people forget the increasing cost of living.
Mahathir's brainchild of privatization and using
third party to sell social services is shinning more
brightly during Najib's tenure. IPO, MyEG and TELCO
are sucking the poor people.
Some influential UMNO guys were not happy with
Najib. They went to report to Mahathir. At least 50%
of the common people talked about Rosmah and even
accused Rosmah is running the country. So far there
is no vocal attack on Rosmah by UMNO members.
Probably Mahathir sees Rosmah plane ride was too
much.
At the same time Mahathir wants Mukhriz to be a
Prime Minister before he died. Najib has a long way
to go and probably he will not step down for reasons
we can try to think of. And there is no way
that Mahathir can make Najib to step down. Najib is
ever willing to pay any price as long as he can stay
in power. Mahathir is not willing to depart with his
money.
For whatever red he sees in Najib, inflict a
sharp pain his his heart. Mahathir knows that he is
only a paper tiger.
Several of his criticism are true. It is a pity
the rakat do not see what are said but who said
them. Some of the truth that he said were
flourishing during his time too. Every spitting he
made on Najib fell on his own nose.
His longevity is a retribution of his doing. One
friend told me, "Cikgu, I have a few millions in
saving. with my condition right now, money is
nothing..."

THE MORSE AND
THE TAP CODE |
Sophisticated people invent sophisticated codes
to be used for various purposes. One of them is to
convey messages that are supposed to be secret. Tap
codes sent through dancing may not be realized by
the onlookers. It can also be sent using CW. Ham
operators do not learn tap codes, instead adopted
Morse, which is more speedier than the tap. The
longest character of Morse is 4 bits while the tap
is 10 bits. It would fun for hams to know both.
At the extreme band condition CW is very readable
and intelligible even with low power. It has no
English, American or Japanese slang. Voice signal is
modulated, having the ups and downs, and it comes
with slang. More power is required to pump to push
for better clarity. Communication with stations from
India could sometimes be at a mercy. When full
Indian slang is used you would not want to have a ragchew. But you can still work the same station
using Morse for as long as you like.
QRP is the most handy for emergency used. Power
can be conserved for several days and light to carry
about.
During emergency and calamities like mini
Tsunamis, you don't think of saving other people.
You may be one of the victims. With a regular
practices and using the QRP during the placid
period, a ham can save his life if he is on a raft
or floating logs. It is hard but there is a hope.
The emergency frequency is a must knowledge to the
people during such a disaster.
It is hoped that the QRP has a GPS built in. A
basic map showing mere co-ordinates would help.
The beauty of Morse codes is that it is an
international language. Imagine a Greek guy who
knows no other language but Greek meet a man from
Timbuktu with the same language deficiency. Both
have to use body and sign language to ask each other
where they came from. Using Morse both only need to
say QTH Greece and QTH Timbuktu.

Here is the tap
codes. If you are dancing and sending a letter
Z, you tap your left foot 5 times and the
right foot 5 times too. A letter B needs one
left foot and two right foot tapping.
Using
continuous wave required a short space between
the first and second threshold. And all will be
in the dit form.
Since Ham
Radio started with Morse messages and it is much
faster the tradition of communication is still
in this mode. SOS in Morse requires 9 taps while
in tap-codes it is 21 taps.
The
encouragement to use Morse over other digital
modes is that it is using the minimum equipments
and not much fixing to be done. A signal can be
decipher just by hearing. If you are calling for
help using RTTY it is more likely that someone
whom you are going to help will die. A walking
man can understand a message without using a
machine.
Like many other skills, Morse codes need a
constant practices. And every ham must be able to
converse in this special language of ham radio.

WHAT RIGHT HAS A MAN |
The history of liberty told about the fight and
struggles against the iron hand of religion and
churches, where the absolute freedom of mankind are
curtailed by priests and popes, holding the Holly
Book by their hands. Among the most unpopular was
Though Shall Not Commit Adultery. A man
has the right to think in his own way and act by his
own will. He cannot be forced to do things he does
not like.
But any man has the
good and evil side in him. At time what was wrong
for others was right for him, and wrong for him and
right for others. "I have the right to do. You won't
have any right to do it."
Mankind is never perfect to invent or create an
ideal. He always play with words for justifications
of his action, and seeking public opinion for
approval of an action and concepts. He talks about
consensus but not on absolute sense, for a majority
is a tyranny of a majority.
If they talk about
the right to be naked, there is also a right to
cover one's body. A child had said, "Why can't I get
married at 14 ? It is my liberty to marry at a young
age."
For many a thing in
life mankind still use their wisdoms. A Muslim man
can takes 4 wives. Do all the men marry 4 wives ? It
is difficult to find even 1 out of 10000 who will
take the maximum spouses. When wisdoms come into
play mankind can live with the least regulations.
People find happiness in respects and understanding,
helping each other in needs and deeds. There is no
question on freedom and liberty.
Government is a body
that robbed away people's freedom and liberty. They
always say for the good of the people. "The world is
a safer place without Saddam Hussein." Then "The
world is a safer place without Osama ben Laden."
Then "The world is a safer place without Ghadafi."
And it will go on and on. The final words are 'The
world is a safer place without terrorists".
Who are terrorists ?
If you think ISIS is right than you are one. If you
say 911 is an inside job, you are a terrorist. If
you wear Hijab and keep a long beard you are one
too. The Palestinians who fought for their homeland
are terrorists. How about those who attack Rosmah
who think public money is hers ?
Whatever ideals
defined by men are not infallible. They coincide
with the change in the value system. Rationality
always claim that it is independent of sentiments,
which is isn't. On many occasion it is an effort to
approve it, a justification to love or hatred. The
same sex marriage and the legalization of marijuana,
the exchange of spouses, and public nudity have
become an ideal of Western liberty.
In
my past observations of the live in the West,
America and Europe, I saw public places were
vandalized; walls and trains were sprayed with swear
words, and parks with broken glasses. In the United
States shootings and murdering happened almost
everyday. Those were the land of democracy, freedom
and liberty. Mind you I moved in and out of USA for
almost 20 years.
We are awed by the
achievements of the Western world and want to follow
everything of the West. We are amazed by their
technology and the skin color. We died our hair to
look like the Westerners. Our media adopt Americans
TV shows. The whole world followed American Idols
and American Got Talents.
Few people know that
when Malaysian students entered American colleges
and universities, they shone and achieved
excellence. Asians are competitive lots. And in the
world of inventions, Malaysians were not a total
pariah. They too won awards. But the Jews received
the most Nobel prizes and they have their own value
systems differ from the rest in the United States.
Never underestimate
the Asians. Americans are watching the rising giants
closely without a blink. While the Malaysians are
sinking in economy, sports and ideas, both Koreas,
Japan and China are moving their products throughout
the world, and slowly is stepping up towards the
mastering of space technology. Economically, even
our close neighbors are over us.
Ours is the political
problem. The politicians are busy in planning how to
make money. It was not wrong of Mahathir to say that
only the half past six people are there, and putting
the half past six people to administer public
utilities and funds. THE NEW PBS EDUCATION SYSTEM
WILL NOT LIVE LONGER THAN 5 YEARS. MAS and PROTON
will continue to suffer. What are they to do with
liberty ?
They are killing the
growth of critical mind and resorting to mental
coercion through brain washing through verbal
deceptions days in and days out by our national
media. The words of UMNO are devine. Kids are taught
to worship leaders like the North Koreans. And those
who earned big money are the worshippers of Western
liberties and cultures.
What right has a man
in a democratic country ? He has to pay taxes of all
sorts. GST is a forced tax in order to live. God
gives us free life, GST takes it away. You have to
pay for food and milk and medicine and medicare. A
man who deemed as non-UMNO member may be removed
from a post and sacked from colleges and
universities.
It is not too much
for me to say that you are free to take and
administer cocaine in yourself. You won't be
arrested for taking drug. Only pushers will be
arrested. A man has the right to take drug but not
to push it. Indah Water has all the liberty to rob
your money without your own approval. The TELCO has
their liberty to EAT your money too in several ways.
The only right a man
can have is sleeping well in his grave.

1MDB
NAJIB DID NOT ADDRESS THE DEBT |
The main
question of 1MDB is the big debt and the
billion dollar loan for the non-existing
projects. Najib only painted the rosy
picture of the government's role, as if
1MDB is very perfect, so perfect that
it's CEO tendered his resignation and
one Arul took over the post. Why it must
be the opposition to lament that Najib
was trying to hoodwink the masses not
the people from UMNO themselves.
It is a
story about BILLIONS of dollars not ten
or hundred. If a hundred thousand can
buy a lot of people, the small million
can buy more people to favor the scheme
as successful and beneficial to the
country. People don't forget the murder
of Jalil related to Bank Bumiputera's
investigation. And that bank cease to
exist. Under the nose of Mahathir big
money went missing and loans were not
paid.
I am not
criticizing. I fear for the coming
generation, the common people who will
continue to pay for the rest of their
lives, the perpetual slaves of Goldman
Sachs. And there is a possibility of a
great plundering of billion of dollars
cash from the national coffers by the
evil stinking beasts of the universe
residing in this very land of Malaya.
The
Western world cries apocalypse at the
political and economic chaos in their
countries, saying it is the sign of the
end of the world. The loudest came from
the Christians who see the end is just
around the corner. And many of us too
are lamenting of the same coming. The
evil hides no more, and in the open tell
the people ,"Yes,
we have robbed you. So what ?
". And the social upheaval of the broken
morality on the freedom of sex, dress
and deeds, shamelessness and other moral
decay. When it comes, men will marry
men, women with women, the death will be
resurrected. So says the Djajal 'Ask for
anything you will be honored but made me
your god.' Isn't this what we are seeing
now ?
We have a
choice, whether to leave to fate or to
stand up and fight against the giant.
Ask then "are we paying our loan or
chasing to pay the running interest that
are mounting ?" How much and how long
will the total debt continue to climb ?
We don't want Najib to continue with the
spinning.

ON THE CONCEPT OF GOD |
The lesser I talk about God the better.
It is very difficult for a man like me,
the non-native English speaker with a
low level of this language, to write
anything at all about the Al-Mighty. But
by humanely description I have no choice
to use the word HE from time to time,
for HE is not the right term to be used
to describe God.
Our human mind cannot transcend God, no
amount of logic and rationality and
science and philosophy could bring our
imagination near to the power and any
characteristics or property of the
Creator. There is ONLY ONE GOD. The Jews
and Islam does not differ in the concept
of ONE and ONLY GOD. There is a
different between Allah and ilah. The
later, ilah, means god. 'al-ilah' is The
God. Allah is one of the 99 names of the
God. The Jewish God and the Muslim's is
the same but given in Hebrew as JHWH and
like Islam the Jews call the God by
different names.
Weak mind tend to imagine god like the
characteristics of mankind; a god has a
wife, from the wife comes a son. And the
son of the god is mortal, can die like
any other man,and eat and drink like any
other living being.
Human can't imagine what the power of
God like and how angels work. The
farthest we can go is to discover the
law of nature; physic and chemistry of
energy and matter, how those things
behave under what conditions.
The concept of strength through unity
could be true by the human mind among
the worldly things. The simplest shape
is a triangle. Ancient religion created
gods in trinity, to give strength and
power to the idols they imagine as their
gods. Then followed by rhetoric and
explanation of the doctrine of trinity,
all for justification.
The Christian belief of three gods in
one went without challenge. It was
formulated for justification in 381AD.
Religion was made by man and changed as
time passed. In Trinity we need to know
the name of the god. I think more than
90% of the Christians called Jesus as
god. The old Testament gives the god's
name as ELOHIM. It also mentioned
YAHWEH. But Jesus is never mentioned as
ELOHIN or YAHWEH.
When the Catholics in Malaysia say Allah
is their God, it is amounting to casting
away the doctrine of trinity. In which
part of the trinity is Allah, ELOHIN or
YAHWEH ? In the book of Illuminati it
mentioned the Great single God. The
Christian said the name is Lucifer and
associate it with Satan. If the
Christian is wrong on Lucifer then the
Illuminati too believes in a single God.
A God cannot be born and cannot die.
There is no human trait of God. If
the Catholic says all other religions
are false, it should better look at
itself. The Hindus stopped creating
justification by adding and changing
concepts decades after decades. At least
the quantum is showing it's similarity
with the Hindu philosophy. We never
heard of Hindu's god's birth and death
but we heard of Jesus was born and
killed.
The West began to shake off their
religion and embraced atheism. The once
savaged ( Christians called the Asians )
people is still carrying the trinity
flag and bags full of contradictory
bibles that ware full of changes made by
men.

RADIO ABUSES |
How much
do we understand about human specie ? A
big bulk of us just wouldn't care, not
only about mankind but almost on all
other things in the world. It is no
coincidental that opposites come into
being, the seen and the unseen, in
science and philosophy. The greatness
and amazing thing about human is that he
is given a choice to go to heaven or
find an abode in hell. Wherever there
are men, there are good and evil.
If we
choose to live in tranquility, peace and
paradise, we need to avoid the evil
insidious personalities. But we can't
know a man by his face, dress and speech.
His visage and countenance will tell
nothing of his heart. None could be
trusted with guns and money.
Partly
abuses on the band earn it's root on the
fellow hams themselves who were so
zealous to teach everyone about the way
to procure equipments and how to come on
the band to the whole world.
When we
talk about the tradition and integrity
of amateur radio, we are talking about
respectability and ethical hams. He
would not encourage his non-ham friends
in any way at all to intrude on the ham
band, or lend them the ham apparatus or
go about what seemed to be legal. I
would not know what could be the root
cause of rogue behaviors in the West and
other more civilized nations.
In the
long run, not only the
sincere hams who will become victims,
the whole words of Ham Radio will be
frowned, despised and debased.
Nevertheless, many
deliberate intrusions did not come from
fellow amateurs. Yet we heard the
totality of ham lingo and style
used by people outside the ham band.
Abuse is an inapplicable word for those
non-hams. Monkeys and dogs wouldn't know
what abuse means. They would not know
what the law of the jungle means.
I would
blame the authority for not doing
enough.

5.30 PM |
I have written
this article before but am puzzled that
it went missing. What I am writing again
may not be the same as before, simply I
could not remember the old content.
5.30
pm is just a time that may mean nothing
to the different people in the universe.
It just passed by day by day. In some
part of the world it is a bright
daylight but in others it is a total
darkness especially at Winter time.
In
Malaysia today 5.30 pm is a bizarre time
where one should stay home and rest, for
the roads will be jammed with people
returning home from work. Office hours
ended at 5.20 pm for 4 days. Unlike
before civil servants went to work at 8
am and went home at 4 pm. Those were the
time when the Malaysian ham radio
operators were active on 7 MHZ which we
termed as a local band.
In the
'70s Malaysian hams began to open up
their stations at about 5 or 5.30 pm.
Idris, 9M2GL, would be the first to call
CQ. Others may be ready earlier but did
not start until the station from Jalan
Kelang Lama started. It was ample time
to start hamming after arriving home at
about 4.30, took a bath, rest and tea.
SWLs too rushed home and prepared to
listen to those hams. One by one would
buzz in; 9M2EG, 9M2RJ, 9M2AT, 9M2FK,
9M2AV, 9M2GV and on the Penang side
using different frequency we could hear
9M2MW, 9M2DJ, 9M2CF, 9M2CG and 9M2FZ.
Like a
big bang they went missing almost
altogether. Some passed away, some
migrate to foreign land, some cradled in
sickness and the rest who are still
living have lost their interest.
Gone
are the days of Nasi Lemak, Raja Jepun,
Dancing Witches and Burung Hantu. The
5.30 pm band went missing in the unknown
universe, and there is no sign of
resurrection.

1MDB - JAIL, FLOGGING AND TORTURE THE
WHOLE FAMILY |
Savagery must be given a place however
uncivilized it may seem to be. Crooks
must be punished from the normal jail
term and fine to the most severe we can
think of. We do know that the United
States does not end it's enmity
only with Osama, but with his whole
family, to make sure the tree will leave
no inherent seeds.
Hanging or death is not a maximum
penalty. The most severe is jailing,
flogging and followed by infinite
torture. This too is practiced by the
United States government.
We don't know whatever happen to 1MDB
and who proposed it's formation. We need
to dig what was the original intent,
whether in good faith or a mere plan to
con the government for big money.
Goldman Sachs just want money in a legal
way. He has his term. But what about the
gang who went to see Najib ?
We ought to remember about the
authenticity of documents tendered, like
people using fake IC and Visa, not
recorded in the database. They were
manufactured for temporary used to be
shown to us, akin to a blank check.
Najib can always order for the closure of
1MDB and recover back every single cent
of it's liability, whether crooked or
not. As Mahathir said, "There is no
need for such a fund." We must also
remember lawyers could do wonders what
we call illusions of great magicians.
It is hoped that 1MDB was all bloomed
with the real dream and in a good faith,
without malicious intent to siphon
public money using the head of the
nation. Otherwise those involved must be
severely and painfully punished by the
present government, or by the laymen,
with intense torture and daily flogging.
Savage must be taught by savage
mean.
Let me take us into another topic on
nuclear war. They key to the arsenal is
not put in the sole hand of a President.
Several men keep the key for the firing
of the weapon. If the decision is made
only by one man, the President, you can
guess what could have happened. A
President can be mad and doing a mad
thing.
So is the decision about national fund.
It is dangerous if one man is given the
ultimate power to pass any project that
involve the national fund. A Prime
Minister cannot pass any project by
himself. Otherwise he will decide an
agreement to be made with whoever he
chose and spell the term as he wants.
This was what Mahathir did with several
of the mega projects. And if his
posterity follow his game, he cannot
spear an attack against them.
With a billion I can command Satan to do
anything for me; pay to kill, harass and
intimidation, hire professional killers
and gangsters. Many leaders of the world
understood the threat of the criminals
and fought them hard to total apocalypse
and they won. As I have said before that
government does not need the gangster
for our national security; we have our
own army and police force to do the
job.
Young Malaysians must be well informed.
They are the people who can put things
back on the right track. They have to
organize themselves well against a
gigantic and powerful malicious group
that may be sucking their bloods till
the dooms day.
Everyone has a high hope that 1MDB will
come clean. From now onwards there must
not be any attempt to deceive anyone by
any mean. Don't throw any crook to a
hungry lion, for he will die too fast.
Never let him die. Let him suffer.

OH GOD !
PLEASE DON'T LET MOB RUN THIS COUNTRY
G |
Golden
Triangle is almost a country by itself. The
Drug Lord is a King, a Prime Minister, a
President and an Emperor. The people love to
be in the region and ever willing to die for
him. Those of the underworld are wealthy and
powerful, feared by the police and the
politicians, lawyers and judges. They set
rules and the politicians follow. Now the
Golden Triangle is not the top opium
producer. It has moved to the Golden
Crescent. Instead of destroying the opium
field, the CIA took up the opium business.
Slowly in the United States drugs are
legally finding their places on shelves.
If the Law
combines with the mobs, a tremendous power
could be created. Both the mobs and the
police provide a strong shield beyond
penetration. Not even Captain America can
challenge any Mafia law maker.
We have no
alternative but to appeal to the God
Almighty to protect the Malaysians from the
rule of the hell devil, the gog and the
magog which may be just a step away from our
door. There is nothing that we can do. We
are too weak and too helpless. We have to
take all the knocks and kicks and the
pressure put on us.
If
gangsterism and criminals in government
caucus is too thick nothing could be done to
clean it and it will become an inherent
vice. The process of democracy is a
complacency for evil to spread. The
underworld would enjoy comfort in these
countries.
The
involvement of the Malays in Triad is
nothing new. When the Gee Hin and the Hai
San were fighting each other the Malay
triads were the White and the Red Flag, both
attached themselves to the Chinese Triads.
Whatever is happening today the Malaysians
do not know. Countries outside know more.
When
politicians or the police are caught
abetting the mob, they will come with all
sort of excuses and reasons, which are all
lies, only to save their souls.
It is
never too late to fight these criminals. All
politicians from all parties must be
screened including those to be elected as
senators. Like judiciary the unit must be
independent so that there will be no
instruction from any politician and the
affiliates. Even the existing law makers
cannot escape the screening, including the
cabinet ministers. There should be police to
police the police. There must be brave
heroes in the government to bring back the
government to it's beginning of origin;
independence is to serve the people and
nation building.
Efforts to
wipe out the politicians-mafia brotherhood
will be met with resentment and a fierce
resistance. Deniable after deniable.
Pray to
God to distant our nation from the evil of
mafia rule where gangsters with aristocratic
attire run the nation with a powerful force
to freely distribute drugs and expand
gambling and prostitution, and rob billion
of dollars in a gentlemanly manner nodded by
the man chosen by the people.
I do not
imagine. I watched movies. That's what the
Tamil and Hollywood movies were trying to
warn us. We have to compare them with the
existing realities.

MACBOOK - CLEAR MEMORY |
I love
Macbook and enjoyed the speed and the
graphic display. I did not have to
invest for virus buster. As there were
the upgrades in the OS, I followed the
progress. Now I have Yosemite installed.
As time goes by it is getting slower.
Once I downloaded a software called Mac
Keeper thinking it could protect my Mac
from any malicious stuffs which may
sneak into my computer from some adults
sites. A naughty boy always fear of
being hunted. Later I learned that Mac
Keeper somehow able to cause problems.
Even after I installed it, the pop up
kept on disturbing me. Some people just
invest in the X-Codes and maneuvering
legally into the software market. Then
it does the nasty things to annoy the
users.
Safari
and Google Chrome seem to shake hands
with MacKeeper. I couldn't completely
uninstalled them. I don't know where
they hide themselves.
I
first decide to delete the caches.
Following the instructions from some web
pages I mage to erase more than 15000
files. You won't believe me it took me
almost 2 days. Mac Users were
recommended to clear the memory too.
Several people suggested the downloading
of some sort of the soft wares. I did. I
downloaded memory cleaner. I will soon
erase it.
To
clear memory I don't have to use any
commercial soft ware. What I need to do
is go to the panel and type
sudo
purge.
That simple ? Yes, that simple and
without hassle.

CLASH OF THE TITANS |
Both Daim
and Mahathir are not willing to depart
with their money. Najib, on the other
hand, would give out any amount so long
as he can stay in power, not from his
own pocket
but from the money belonging to the people.
There is no way Najib can be thrown out
by Mahathir as Najib pays well to hit
hard at the former Prime Minister and
Daim.
The
constant and continued attack on both of
the former veterans could spell the end
of Najib and Rosmah, whoever the real
Prime Minister is. Every time Mahathir
showed his anger, Najib would go to
visit him to sooth and to cool the
former PM down. Afterwards foreign
correspondence took a stance to defense
Najib by advising Mahathir to take his full
retirement.
The
vivacity of Rosmah is well observed and
recorded. If it is deemed as an insult
to both of the old timers they might put
their miser stand aside. They too can
pay, enough to see a strong devastating
result. To say that there is nothing
wrong with 1MDB, it's CEO tendered
resignation and they are putting one
Arul to carve an illusion. "Somebody is
going to jail," said Mahathir before.
Who will be paid to put whom in jail ?
It is the
clash of the Titans. In Chess, pawns are
rarely used to mate. Winning is not to
eat all the pawns and other small pieces
but to mate the King.
Najib is
playing for public opinion and grass
root support. Ghadafi and Saddam had the
public support; one was sodomized and
another hung. Syria has to give a lot to
USA to remain in power. At least one man
who equate Rosmah to Marie Antoinette.
Roh Tae-Woo, the former Korean
President, faced life imprisonment. In
the court preceding of Saddam, his
victims told about the cruelty of
Saddam's police machinery on the people.
If
history is carved by God the Almighty,
it is nothing other than just a mere warning to
all the nation leaders. It is a reminder
to be reckon with. Only two countries
that do not believe in fate and history
could be changed; United States and
Israel. May be Najib and Rosmah too
would laugh and dismiss them.
Let us
see how much the cyber trooper paid by
Najib or his supporters can do. Kader
Jassin said they are well paid. No one
is surprise at the generosity of Najib.
That's his main weapon. We can be sure
there are people who will take note of
these cyber troopers. The behaviors
shown are worst than the Hitler's Nazi.
We just wait and watch.

RUSSELL PETERS JOKE ON
PARENT-CHILDREN RELATIONSHIP |
About 5
minutes before the end of the clip
Russell Peters joked a little on
parent-children relationship, showing
the two different values. Malaysians are
becoming too liberal on their views and
stand, and looking at social values in
the Western term. When I was schooling
in Indiana, a Canadian friend of mine, a
PHD student, pinched her two year old
kid. I was alarmed and asked her, "Why
don't you use psychology on her ? "
"Psychology ? What psychology.." she
smiled back at me.

BUY A RADIO AND TALK |
One mega
hertz outside the ham band I heard a round table
chat, just identical to what I have been hearing on
national repeater, the style and the lingo and what
I may call the SOP. Instead of the normal ham call
signs they used numbers "02 and the monitoring
stations, this is 12 returning......" I did not
stay long to monitor them. My friend said it is a
RELA frequency.
If it is
a RELA couldn't we say anything at all ? After all
they are outside the ham band.
But we
have to understand that living in a house does not
confine us to only knowing what's in our house. We
need to know what is outside; our town, our state,
our country, our world and the world beyond the
universe. Either our mind is put to sleep or let it
wonder in space and time. So we wonder about that
particular frequency.
Is it
wrong for us to tell everyone "Buy a
walkie-talkie and talk among yourselves. Just use
any number as your ID". One doesn't have to be a
ham to communicate using a radio. They may or may
not be the members of the RELA. Secondly we would be
thinking of the equipment itself; are they
registered, where do they buy them and who pay for
the apparatus assignments ? And finally, can RELA
use the radio equipment the way they want ?
Easy
access to equipments has it's pros and cons. Anyone
could use the radio to intrude into ham frequencies
and deliberately causing disturbances to the people
on the band. They can also use those rigs to throw
curses and to cast political slur on political
figures. Criminals would be using them for illegal
purposes. You may have noticed that many people at
bus stations using them to communicate among
themselves.
Recently
the police made a statement 'the number of bag
snatchers are more than the police'. Certainly
the whole Malaysian population is no match to MCMC.
Every department is erecting a defense mechanism
before them. Civility is defeated by savagery in
numbers. No wonder public opinions rule over facts
and reality.
The
confused believe that they are sober and well. The
wrongs have been righted. Laws are not enacted for
all people.
I
remember very well the power of a school's gardener,
who can go out of the school compound at his own
will to attend UMNO's affair. This kind of people is
above the law.
Tell the
Malaysians to buy transceivers, use a certain form
ID and talk. After all it can help during natural
disasters.

WHERE'S OUR MONEY GOING ? |
When our ringgit was strong we said our
economy was good. And when it plunged
down we also say it is good for our
economy. It goes down together with the
price of rubber and palm oil. And we are
paying more for groceries and other
commodities. What actually goes wrong ?
The laymen like many of us wouldn't be
able to comprehend the current Malaysian
economy. All the time we have been
hearing beautiful things about cheaper
living, the lowering of prices, cheaper
houses, people come first and GST is
good for everyone. Many years ago if you
ask questions you would be branded as
Communists. Today you are duped as a
member of DAP or charged under sedition.
I don't feel things are good for the
people. I felt the GST is to pay for the
running interest that will never ever
end. The debt will keep on raising
despite the payment. The money is raked
from the public, like the poor kampong
folks borrowing a hundred ringgit from a
chettiar and finally lost their land to
those Indians.
We have seen much from the history of
Malaya; how our land went to the British
piece by piece, how the Malays were
being conned and manipulated. It
continues till today. They are still
sleeping and weak enough to think of the
even the near future. Greed grabbed
them. They thought they are smart as
lawyers are around them.
UMNO pays the bloggers to tell the truth
of the government's good intent and
deeds on the people. But they use their
pens to defend the wrong and blindly
attacking the oppositions with
lackluster arguments. When people asked
of PM absent in the flood zone, they
asked why Lim Guan Eng was not there.
To me, both Anwar Ibrahim and Lim Guan
Eng mean nothing. With or without them
does it won't make any different. What
matters most is the way our country is
going, economically and socially. What
will happen to our generation to come,
with the prevailing chaotic condition;
the minister-kingpin relationship, the
arrest of nationalists and those show
concern of our nation, the wastage of
our resources, the rushing for the land
grabbing, the steep climb of the cost of
living, the criminals who robbed Perwaja
and PKZ that went scot-free, the racist
stance of politicians, the privatization
to cronies, the abuse of power and the
different view of judges and courts.
However there is somebody who would not
care at all to what happen to our
economy and the drop in money value;
namely the drug addicts. Tell them about
the sky is falling tomorrow, they won't
care. Tell them about a great war is a
mile away, they won't care.
The kampong folks are as good as docile
housewives. Many didn't pay income tax.
These are the main assets to UMNO. BRIM
would surely give a vote each. When the
clerics say that it is a sin to question
the government, it is a sin, that DAP
will made this country a Christian
nation and Islam will perish under the
party, everyone feels so very scared.
Their minds are what TV1 tells them. GST
is good for them. Declining currency
value will make our country richer. 1MDB
serves the Malays.
The intelligent tax payers always want
to know where their money go to. Telling
them that 800 millions went to flood
victims is not enough. I also am anxious
to know where our money go to. Mind you,
asking Rosmah what she does with
PERMATA's money, you may get sued. Still
unanswered question is where the 250
million of the NFC money went to.

AN
HOUR IN DARKNESS |
My Lorong Bayu
electrical supply was shut off for about an hour
just now. In the dark I told my wife "It is only
for a while. Soon we will get back the supply.
Imagine the flood victims without water and
electricity for days." I don't know how the new
generation felt living in the dark and if without
the pipe water. We used to live in darkness with the
kindness of the kerosene lamp and the water blessed
by Allah through rain for drinking and high tide for
washing and bathing. But rain was in abundance then
and noon tides were daily. We never felt even an
iota of misery.
Then I remembered
ham radio while my maid was lighting a
candle. How would they operate an emergency station
in the flood area without electrical supply ? And my
wife said, "Tomorrow I don't have to go for my
dialysis because there will be no electricity." She seemed to be
happy like a school boy who is told that tomorrow is
a school holiday. "No way," said I. "They have their
own supply as a backup. Otherwise while doing
operations their patients will all die."
The natives in the
deep jungles of the world have been living without
electricity and fresh water supply for generations.
At the same time they have never heard of road tax,
GST, sales-tax, property tax. They do not be
bothered by big names like Bush, Kim Jung Un or
Rosmah Mansor. But later the people who brought them
electricity brought them misery. They were chased
out of their land, forest cleared by civilized
people with lawyers and politicians and towkeys, and
the police behind. Then they would prefer life in
the dark without bulbs and electricity.
I have been
wondering how would life be to Najib and Rosmah
without water and electricity ? But even by the
event of the worst devastation, dry spell, flood or
earth quake the top brass, the lords, the
Presidents, Kings and politicians would not suffer.
Supplies to them are on different lines. Misery is
the property and the ownership of the common people
and the slaves.
People are so used
to light that darkness has become a scary evil to
them. The recent news that the world will be without
sun for 4 days panicked everybody. How about telling
them felling trees on the hill tops would cause
flash flood and fresh water crisis ?
Remember our old
folks, who would always put off the light when
having sexual intercourse ? It isn't the same
anymore. They even want people to watch them doing
the sexual acts.
Water is always be
my first preference compared to electricity. People
have been living without electricity for thousand of
years but not without water. And I know the supply
would return soon. It did after for about an hour
later. They must have restored the big fuse
somewhere. The short darkness with the candle light
brought back the reminiscence of the rosy past. The
babbling touching the elite group is something for
everyone to ponder about. Taib Mahmud were out of
the country when there was a heavy haze and a few
chose vacation rather than attending flood. I didn't
make them up. Were not those what we saw ?
An hour of
darkness was a period blessed for soliloquy. At
least I have one listener, my sick wife.

MAT REMPIT DISTURB
ROSMAH'S PEACE AND TRANQUILITY |
Rosmah and Najib could not sleep well
because of Mat Rempit. How about those
who live near the airport and the
railway line and those in cities ?
Rosmah should also tell us since when
those people were causing problems to
her. Isn't she has all the power to put
it to a stop ? That's not a country,
only a handful of people. If she can
manage to handle MH17 and Putin, what is
this to her, only a small fries.
Or was she trying to convey a message
the happenings were deliberate ? If it
were then there was an act of rudeness,
showing no respect to their PM. How
could this happen with all the kindness
our PM has shown, giving away cash every
year to the rakyat. Rosmah has been
getting national awards after awards.
She must be respected. She needs a lot
of rest, after her daily hard work to
look after the country.
I don't think they were deliberate. If
they were they could have done
worst things and much more devastating
than mere tearing the full throttle,
challenging even the wall of security.
We have heard of explosives being used.
And the anti-tank weaponry has killed
several people in Gurun.
I live long enough to pass all the Prime
Ministers' wives. And never once I heard
of any complaint from anyone of them
before this. Though internet was unknown
then, news traveled fast, far and wide
and from mouth to mouth. If
any, a big majority would have known the
adventurous tales of PM's wives.
Mat Rempit isn't the MAT phenomena
alone. In Alor Setar the MINAH joined
the group, yelling and shouting with the
high shrieking voice, shameless and
mannerless, throttling the street
showing off, some with BN T-shirts. Guys
like these were deployed by BN to harass
the opposition members.
Rosmah went on saying that they were
under 'our care'.
In Holland people go to work either
using the public transport or using
bicycles. I don't remember seeing Dutch
Rempit there. How about putting a ban on
sale of motorbikes and only allow
bicycles, electric or otherwise, in
place of the current motor system.
Electric scooters can go up to 25 mph.
Some expensive models can go between 80
- 93 miles/hour. 25 pmh is good enough
for shopping and marketing.
With cities and towns free of motor
bikes, most noise could be eliminated.
Rosmah could have a better sleep.

HAM RADIO - SORRY MCMC |
Sorry, I would not say ham radio is
moving towards the better. There is a
word to describe it 'HANCUR'. I
monitored on HF for quite some time
these days, staying more than 10 minutes
at time trying to figure their call
signs. Recently I read about FCC giving
a severe warning and took away the ham
privilege from stations who never
mentioned their call signs and station
talking to a pirate.
And on national repeater I could not
figure out the station ID, first because
it was incomplete, only the mention
merely suffixes and secondly he
swallowed his words till the words were
incomprehensible. And the club station
seems to be moving everywhere. KENDALIAN
has become a normal practice.
Only yesterday there was a deliberate
jamming on ASTRA national repeater
causing great frustrations to stations
on constant contact with those in
Kelantan.
I don't mean to show my disrespect to
the authority. But it seems to me that
it is confirming the many criticism by
the public on the efficiency of
government agencies. We have been
hearing too much crazy happenings from
the downfall of our economy to the
involvement of our minister with the
underworld.
Ham radio and communication equipments
are not a trifle matter. The authority
cannot wait until someone starts to
shoot at his political foe. Once the war
begins on the air it will be very hard
to stop. Never think of the hams only.
There are numerous of non-hams who have
access to ham equipments.
The TIDAK APA on the control effort has
projected the bad practices. I predict
that Malaysia would be just like
Indonesia as far as radio usage is
concerned. In the end the MCMC will be
blaming the hams and the radio users.
All blames come back to the people, even
the flood in Pahang and Kelantan.
It is funny, very funny. Do we hear the
MCMC fears taking offenders to court
will not win them the case ? On piracy
and other abuse, I think the MCMC will
lose the case, just by the term
Apparatus Assignment. Yet the agency
prefer to use the term instead of the
word license.
The worst is yet to come. Will the MCMC
ever willing to take the blame ?

LGE's REMARKS
ON ZAHID'S POOR ENGLISH |
|
The remark
on Zahid's English would not have been made
if Zahid had not lambasted the Penang
Voluntary Service Corp as a gangster
organization. It was a very great insult and
the people of Penang felt very hurt, sad and
shameful. Every action will be faced with an
equal and opposite reaction, the force of
the same magnitude.
In the
first place Zahid should not made any
attempt to vouch Phua. There had been talk
before that BN politicians were rubbing
shoulders with big time criminals and the
top policemen were part of the underworld
gang. Why should he write a letter to FBI ?
What happen now is that people poke the
content of the letter and made fun out of
his English.
Not only
Zahid received the lambaste the whole UMNO
members get the ridiculed. "If you can't
write and speak English, you have to be
below normal and not fit enough to lead the
nation," implied in the remarks. One reader
asked, " Didn't he has a PHD ? "
UMNO has
to make more rooms in the lockups to arrest
those laughing at their poor English under
seditious act. Else sue them on defamation.
The whole world will be tickled and enjoy
the jest.
The Malays
should stop running their live and the
nation with sentiment and emotion, always
thinking of their righteousness and that
they are powerful. Had not I said before
about the educational policy makers who
warned, intimidate and threatened to
transfer the subordinates who were trying to
give their ideas and opposing views ? Najib,
after returning from Hawaii announced of a 5
hundred millions aid to the flood victims,
and now PAC is looking where the money is.
Gangsters were sent to disrupt opposition's
campaign. And resources were used up to
amass public support on the wrongs done.
So much so
UMNO do not possess the best brain in them.
The best they brought on the National TV to
spread propaganda never display a very high
mental intellectuality.
Even Zahid
retracted the letter, it was all too late.
FBI knows more than what we think. Their
embassy knows every detail of their
movements. If you buy the theory of MH370
then you ought to know how they assess our
country. Else out jet engine wouldn't be
stolen; missing during Zahid's heading the
defense ministry.
National
leaders should not mess around with mafia
and kingpins. We have the manpower to look
for our security, not the mob.
Use more
brain to act, and understand the importance
of quality education. It's a pity the
smart Malays are not with UMNO.
Why not
Zahid challenge LGE to public debate to be
held in English.

THE KINGDOM OF
GANGSTERS AND MAFIA |
Hollywood movies could be totally
fictitious and imaginative, or they are
trying to portray the truth most people
may not know. They depicted politicians
and top police as umbrellas to the big
time gangsters and mafia. A few were the
big boss of the gang and mafia network.
But there were heroes taking care to
fight those criminals wearing government
uniforms. Judge Dredd was one of the
criminal busters.
Drug kingpins and other top criminals
are big people with huge wealth,
gentlemanly mannered. They always made
themselves present in luxurious and
expensive clubs, getting to know high
ranking police officers, politicians and
Ministers. They invited Ministers and
officers to dine with them.
The kingdom of gangsters and mafia are
not isolated, far away in the deep
forest of the golden triangle. They may
be in Capitol Hill or Putrajaya. They
have lawyers and influential people
behind them. At time they would show to
their politician friends that they could
be very vicious.
There was one movie that showed that the
President was taken over by the process
of cloning. Without the hero, USA would
be run by the criminal, unknown to the
populace. Once the Kingdom of Mafia was
in Italy. Now it is everywhere.

PMO
FINAL ANSWER |
The government's jet was never carrying
Najib's family said the PMO. Why did it
take several days to tell the answer.
The question was raised by a DAP member
much earlier who wanted to know who were
on the plane ?
The plane with technical problem dared
to fly more than 4500 miles for a
repair. As we all know a plane with a
technical problem won't be allowed even
to take off. There is no such thing as
risk taking. And the problem has to be
known at Honolulu airport while PM was
playing golf.
From Honolulu to Kuala Lumpur is nearer
by the direct flight. From Kuala Lumpur,
airlines to Los Angeles never follow the
Western route across India. They fly
over the East coast, across the ocean.
The question is in which direction the
9M-NAA flew during the take off from
Hawaii ? At what moment of time the
technical problem was realize ? It
cannot be after the take off or 30
minutes after the lift off, because by
that time the plane is nearer to Japan.
It only made sense if it was before and
not after. And it did not make sense
either to take a risk to fly 4000 miles
with the technical problem.
After the repair where should the plane
fly to ? Obviously it should fly to New
York, not to Los Angeles and then back
to New York. It will be a puzzle to
everyone. While at Los Angeles it should
have flown home to Kuala Lumpur. If it
needs refueling it could have stopped
either in Taiwan or Hong Kong.
What's the plane doing hopping all
around ? And the joke was it landed in
Bangkok. From Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur is
just over an hour.

WHO DARE TO SAY WHAT. WHO
CARES ABOUT LAW ? WHO CARES ABOUT GOD AND SINS ? WHO
IS GOING TO GET SLAPPED THIS TIME ?A man can prostrate to another
man and shove God aside. Both the secular and God's
law were broken and manipulated.
I was trying to figure out
what sort of excuses PM will give on 9M-NAA
East-West flight. Now they come out with the answer
9M-NAA was facing technical problem.
When do they start to know the
technical problem occur ? Before or during the
flight ? If before, how could a plane with a problem
dared to take a flight West 4,345 miles, not 50
miles. During the flight Eastwards they came to know
of the technical problem ? Then instead of flying
back to New York, it went to Los Angeles first, then
back to New York, London and in Bangkok.

ROSMAH
JOY RIDE ?
|
My disabled and sick wife praises
Rosmah Mansor to the highest degree. As a wife of a Prime
Minister using government's jet to
travel around is a normal thing, she
said. Then she went on asking "In
the first place why Najib married her
?" That's a question that I would not be
able to answer.
Rosmah has been a hot topic these few
days. There are people who support her,
like my wife, and there are people who
just didn't have anything to say. "She
is better than DAP," others were
heard to say. And exactly, that is what
UMNO is going to tell the people,
defending her.
Those who voted for Mah, the Teluk
Intan Gerakan candidate, may not realize
the relationship between BN's winning
and Rosmah's joy trip using public
money. The winning was seen as a mandate
for an all out abuse. BN supporters were
either willing to be whiped or they were
being deceived and intimidated. To the
Malays they said, "DAP will ruin
Islam and will fight for premiership.
" To the Chinese they said ," Diana
is a Malay. She won't do anything for
the Chinese. Mah is a Chinese." The
price is higher cost of living. GST is
for what and for whom ?
I know that PM Najib is not happy with
Rosmah's joy ride too. It was too much
and too far. He has to harness his close
advisors to set up a defense mechanism,
to turn what is illegal to be legal.
India and Korea had put the past
Ministers into jail.
Many government servants were asked to
resign for using public property for
personal use. They did. I can't say how
many had ended up in jail.
The arch enemy is growing up. The
peasants will rise when the price of
rubber dives down. If Najib lost the
support of the FELDA populace and other
displaced Malays Malaya will end up as
another Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria or
Egypt. Fiery hatred that made the enemy
sodomized the corpse of Ghadafi and
hanged Saddan Hussein. Israel hunted the
Nazis to their graves in South America.
I sense a great hatred when the words
PIGGY, HIPPO and others are given to
Rosmah. It offended me as well. I fear
for Najib, not because of the Rosmah's
crisis, but I was told by the history
and the past events that had happened
around us.
Rosmah using the government plane is one
thing, but people relate it to the
burden of taxation to be paid on her
lavishness. Dr Asmah is not a normal
person, she is a doctor, much brighter
than Rosmah. Wasn't there a government's
jet during Mahathir's era ?

BAD
MAN - FLOOD.... |
A specie worst than the loathed SATAN
and vicious than the most vicious animal
comes from mankind itself, filthy and
despicable, rejected by all gods and
deity, Christ will turn his face away
and the monotheistic religions would
agree that his place is in the hottest
part of the hell fire.
He says the recent flood in Kelantan was
man-made, touched nothing on Trengganu,
Pahang, Johor and Perak as if nothing
had happened in those states, plain and
dry and people live in comfort and
happiness but the Kelantanese.
The first person we heard to blame flood
on the people was the Menteri Besar of
Pahang. He blamed the people not the
logging nor the development. Now this
new specie that bear UMNO label is
blaming PAS for the cause of the flood.
Our national TV is broadcasting a
program that insinuating the same reason
for the cause of the disaster.
Let us try to understand that flood
water comes either from the sea, sky or
the combination of both. Heavy rain in
area where the hilltops were cleared and
gave way to housing projects and condos
within two hours could a flash flood.
Klang valley often experience such kind
of flood.
Another that comes from the sea and
ocean accompanying by cyclones and
typhoons. Underwater volcano eruption
and vibrations that send huge waves
hitting the land could'nt even be stopped
by the mighty SATAN or the specie worst
than the mother of evil. A few years ago
many parts of the world were submerged,
even America and Europe were not saspared.
This filthy and stinking specie would
spurt out anything his dirty mouth could
spew. Let us see he emerged from which
racial group.

WHO WILL OWN
MALAYA-CAYMAN OR GOLDMAN
SACHS |
The Malays will
either be chased out of the country like the
Palestinians or simply pay more in order to live
in this country. Even the tough Mahathir was
conned. Cayman has been operating for a long
time unseen but gathering wealth buy buying
properties using influential Malays. One needs
to investigate how Najib got entangled with
Goldman Sachs. The debt can never be paid even
by the GST, squeezing the populace.
Cayman and
Goldman Sachs are much concerned to me than the
Government jet being used by Rosmah. Remember
Palestine; from 1947 to 2015 they are being
wiped out, took 68 years altogether. 68 years
later Najib and Mahathir and Ku Nan and the rest
of veteran UMNO won't be able to see the harvest
of what they sow.
If the government
change hand, Malaya must stop paying what
borrowed by Najib. Let his whole family pay
them. Send them to Goldman Sachs. Iraq after
Saddam Hussein does not pay us what they bought
from us.
Most of you who
are reading this essay won't live to see the
turmoil. Try to ask all UMNO members whether
they ever heard of Cayman or Goldman Sachs, may
be less than 100 might have heard of them.
It's a great
pity.

HAM
RADIO CALL SIGN - SUFFIXES |
I did not ask for 9M2AR. It was awarded
to me by the Telecom department. I
learned later that the authority usually
try to give suffixes that are acronym to
a name, AR for Abdul Rahman, TJ for
Thiam Joo and SL for Sunny Lai. I would
accept any call assigned happily with a
great pride of being a ham. A few did
request their own suffixes. It was not
an offense to do so.
In those days the number of hams were
small. Two alphabet suffixes were
sufficient. Only the club stations and
repeaters were assigned with three
alphabet suffixes; 9M2TTC , 9M2PMC,
9M2REC and 9M2PIC. 9M2RGL and 9M2RKK
were repeater call signs. The prefixes
9M2, 9M6 and 9M8 remain as regional
indicator.
At times we made jokes at each other
calling 9M2RJ as Raja Jepun and 9M2EG as
Ekor Gajah. It has never been an issue.
As in many other things size do create
problems. An obese had been rejected by
airline because there was no single seat
for a very large person. And people used
to say that 'fire, water and wind are
friends when they are small, and become
your vicious foe when they are big'. As
the ham size grew in a small country
like our Peninsular Malaya, the first
problem is the allocation of call signs.
the 2 alphabet suffixes were enough for
676 persons, starting with 9M2AA to
9M2ZZ.
Today the ham population has blown up to
nearly 20000 which is more than for AAA
to ZZZ. Some senior hams are driving for
a few millions to open up a new area for
economic development, namely a radio
business.
There are hams who could not be bothered
of whatever calls assigned and others
are very demanding, thinking that
amateur radio is the absolute right of
everyone including the criminals. One
told a MCMC officer, "If you promise me
a two alphabet suffixes I will sit for
CW test." Hilarious indeed. But he was
not the only person who pressed for the
condition as a prerequisite for them to
sit for the Morse test.
"There are too many complaints,"
an officer said."They don't want
call having a letter I because INDIA
would be mentioned." How could
racism exist in amateur radio ?
ASTRA was formed on the racial basis.
Now some are pulling in the Royalty,
UMNO Dato's and lawyers with some hidden
intents. There seem to be the
development of classes of status in ham
radio.
Some hams do believe that there shall be
reserved call signs with suffixes like
GOD, SEX, and MAD. 9W2GOD had been
assigned and it was a disturbing call to
many Muslim hams in the country.
Fortunately the saga ended when the
owner of the call passed away at a young
age, not carrying the GOD suffixes. It
was changed before he died.
Yet the cold war still continue. Hams
are still fighting for the 2 letter
suffixes. To people like me it does not
make sense. To those who tell the
authority that they would not strive for
an A license if they are not promised
with the two alphabet suffixes, I would
say good luck with a wide smile from
cheek to cheek.
Wouldn't it be nice for the MCMC to bid
call signs like the car plate numbers ?

DREAMING WITH ASB
DIVIDEND |
The ASB dividend
for 2014 is downed from 7.70 to 7.50.
Would I complain about it ? NO. Those
people were doing the work for me and I
didn't do anything at all. It helps a
little for the rates, insurance and
other annual commitments are rising and
the cost of living is climbing. It is
common that when economy is bad agencies
are rising the prices up and dividends
are being pushed down.
The best of the
ASB was when Khalid was in charge. He is
always generous as he was before.
For annual rates
and donation to the local mosque to be
paid is about RM5K. Without the ASB I
might die of starvation and the house
will be forfeited by the local
authority. I have to thank to those who
created the saving scheme. In fact I
expected a much lower return because of
what happen to our country, the poor
management of funds and the lavish
spending for political survival.
My car need some
repair, estimated RM1K. I have been
waiting for a radio friend to pay me a
loan of RM500 to ease my burden. He
promised payment within a week but it
drags to more than 3 months. He did not
answer my phone and I have not seen him
since then. I will not use my ASB
dividend to fix it. I will wait for the
payment.
I really pity
those kids who are paid to run the cyber
attack on the critics and to protect the
evil deeds. They won't be there forever.
The time will come when they really feel
the pinch. They will suffer much greater
than many of the other people but it
will be too late to regret. Like
Mahathir, who cannot do anything anymore
to Najib, who is slowly using his
resources to hit back at the former
Prime Minister. It is too late for
Mahathir to regret. 1Malaysia jet flew
from Hawaii to Indianapolis to Los
Angeles and now to New York in front of
Mahathir's eyes.
I know one other
friend of mine who has money in ASB,
9M2FX. He is older than I and he is
still single. I don't know if I can go
beyond 2020, which I doubt very much.
What is 5 years when 11 years of my
retirement just seem like yesterday. I
should spend all the dividend as fast as
I can. But it is too little for a car or
distant vacation.
Tomorrow people
will pack the ASB buildings and banks.
My wife has her dialysis. I have to wait
for Monday to do my updating. I can take
a deep breath and relax a bit,
fantasizing enjoying with the notes
falling on my head. To a poor man a
hundred dollars is big enough to have a
dream.

EMERGENCY- ZONE
DIVISION |
Each state is
to be divided into several emergency
manageable zones. These zones must be
established, identified and understood
by all involved. The area size is
defined by the term manageable. Whenever
there exist a crisis within the zone the
combing would be very thorough and no
place will be missed within a short
time.
There is enough
manpower in the country to do the job
beside the police and the army. Members
of the RELA group and the Ham Radio
enthusiasts would be in charge of these
zones. In each zone there is a repeater
and a radio club which can only be
operated during the calamities and
during the regular exercise sessions.
A standard form
is to be used by all during the
operational procedures like a zone name
using code P1, S1 etc. , date, time,
operator, type of message,
recipient/sender, message from. Those on
the SAR do not have to fill in anything,
only to mention their ID and the
message. An identical items are to be
applied with the use of the cell phones.
The zones are
to be set as soon as possible together
with the office or radio club and the
people to run them.
In remote areas
where there is no ham operator, RELA
will provide the manpower.
Soon the
National Security Office will have the
meeting for the post mortem. I hope
someone will pick this up and present in
the meeting.

WHAT'S IN THE PERKASA
KERIS ? |
The Chinese has realized that Kung Fu
alone is no match for Western weapons.
Heavy investment in technology and
education is making China a super power
today. So was Melaka, conquered by a
handful of people from Europe. What
could Keris do to fight the enemy ? By now
Perkasa should realize that strength
does not lie in the size, keris or big
mouth. Israel is a small country but the
Jews can control almost the whole world.
If in the eyes of PERKASA the Malays are
losing everything, it should stare hard
at UMNO. UMNO has been running the
country all along since independent.
What has happened to the Malays and what
sort of Malays they are yielding ? Do
they expect the garbage hunters, drug
pushers, liar, cheaters and robbers to
be 'TUAN' ? They can't even run the
national feedlot properly. Mahathir did
not find his bread business easy to run.
I found Ibrahim Ali's warning and
threatening the Chinese as very
offensive and disturbing. He called the
Chinese to keep stocks of food. For what
purpose ? To declare war on them just
because they were asking for equal right
and opportunity ? It was a dumb and
moronic call.
One of the best things Ibrahim Ali and
the Perkasa members could have done was
to ensure the flood victims do not die
of starvation. Yet we saw one UMNO man
in Johore chased a Chinese who was
giving away food stuff to the victims.
This very guy should call all the Malays
to quit working in Chinese firms and
shops, don't but supplies from Chinese
wholesalers or retailers. He should
start first.
Ibrahim should have known why the Malays did
not vote for him.
Strength lies in the brain, not the
Keris. Brains need nurtured by protein.
But protein is very expensive due to the
high cost of living. And the Malays just
couldn't care less about brain
development as much as they did not care
much about science and mathematic
education. Did UMNO and PERKASA ever
discuss mental development ? Nay, they
prefer to entertain big towkeys and
businessmen, discuss money and
privatization, development of
properties, cutting trees on hill tops.
Among the worst lots are educational
administrators and policy makers. It is
sad to see them carrying despotic traits
in them. They, not only shove off ideas
on the policy they created, but also
threatened of distant transfer or
disciplinary actions. When met with
failures they blame their subordinates.
Failed education caused dropouts and
joblessness. Do they ever compute the
number of Malay students who became wild
and involved in crimes ? Ibrahim Ali
should have known the figures very well.
Will that be shown in the Keris ?
There are at least three basic parts
that are vital to the Malays; brain,
knowledge and skill. They are to be
deployed constructively and wisely. For
every planning they must try to interact
with the other communities. In a nation
building all Malaysians must unite and
work side by side.
The home of the Keris is in the museum.
And Ibrahim Ali should go jogging or
doing weight lifting, and take a run at
least 15 kilometers a day and show of
his silat some time. I can assure him
that if he can do 20 km a day
all the Chinese will bow on him, and
show him great respect. And he
should know that if the Malays cannot
become TUAN, it is the UMNO that is to
be blamed. Not the Chinese. Else Ibrahim
could join ISIS to gain military skill.
We don't have place for extremism here.

WHO IS MORE
INTELLIGENT ? |
I
read both what the Pro-UMNO cyber
trooper presented their cases as well as
the feedback from people whom I figure
are not agreeable with UMNO. They showed
a vast different in mental prowess. It showed how stupid can a Malay
be. No wonder UMNO could always be
conned by the others resulting in the
plight of the Malay race.
UMNO is
justifying Najib's golf session by
arguing about the members of the
opposition parties do not present
themselves during the flood, They are
saying that it is alright for a Prime
Minister to commit crimes because others
are doing it. Lim Guan Eng is not a
Prime Minister and not a cabinet
minister too. To wash off, bags of rice
were filled with Najib's image. It would
be interesting for someone to sue Najib
for stamping his image using the public
fund.
Some Malays are
so dumb that they even allowed the
nation leader to give away land to
foreign countries. Those were the fate
of Pulau Batu Puteh and Tanjung Pagar.
And selling away a large part of Johor
land to the Singaporeans, akin to the
Palestinian lands sold to the Jews. The
time will come when many of the Malays
will be kicked out of Peninsular Malaya.
What then is the pride of UMNO in
training the young Malays to be
hooligans scaring and intimidating
voters to win an election while they are
dragging the coming Malay generations to
poverty and landlessness ?
If UMNO
Cyber-Troopers can express themselves
that much, it shows that the highest
form of mentality the dedicated UMNO
Malays have. They can't even fight the
ALLAH issue in the winning ways. They
have the bright and top cleric, Ustaz
Kazim, with them as their pure political
tool. They have the educational
administrators who formulated a suicidal
policy for the kids.
The UMNO
Cyber-troopers only made fools of
themselves by posting stupid propaganda
and stupid ignorant lies.
If they have
shown some intellectuality and maturity
in putting up their arguments and PM
Najib admitted his mistake the citizens
can accept the regret. Instead they are
showing their boldness, putting Najib's
picture in the bag of rice. Those
pictures won't be pinned in their rooms
but will be thrown on the floor and mud,
stepped by everyone. You can guess what
a group of extremist can do with those
pictures.

EMERGENCY FREQUENCY |
During Tsunami
2005 ORARI Indonesia set up several
disaster stations in the affected areas.
The station call signs ended with the
prefix Z. The SOP followed a set
standard rule. Every message were
recorded on papers with the least
information on the time, date, sender
and the topic.
I did monitor
the Malaysian existing emergency
frequency on 7110 from time to time.
Each time I asked myself to whom the
messages ere intended and the
significance of each message. And I
wonder whether there is a proper logging
and recording of each of the message. In
other words the amateur radio emergency
stations are intended for whom and for
what purpose.
Because of my
misunderstanding, I never step into the
frequency even if the person running
those stations called for 'any station
monitoring on frequency', for I
understood the communication is to be
among stations of identical tasks.
The MCMC always
have the power to allocate emergency
frequencies outside the ham band with
special call signs, unless the ham band
is chosen for some other general use
where hams may be required to do some
form of some defined services like
delivering a personal message of a
victim to his family that he is safe and
well.
Information to
fellow hams about the flood situations
are private matter and not to be
publicized in the national media. These
stations do not have to be defined as
emergency stations. They can provide
help to fellow members on the safe
routes, and guide their friends the
right path to send supplies to the
victims.

DO YOU WANT TO BE A
PILOT ? |
During my school days only the bright
ones, excel in science and mathematics
had the chance to be pilots. Since I was
a Pariah in class I could only dream of
becoming a blue collar laborer. I still
remember Haris and Syed Aswad who shone
in class and finally went to flying
school.
Today you don't need to be the best
student. If you have money you can
always register yourself in the existing
flying school. It is a big money. Even
if you have a dropout mentality you can
be qualified to be a pilot. I know at
least two persons who fly commercial
aircrafts, graduating from these
schools.
Similarly in the profession of nursing
where money is the answer to send your
kids to private nursing colleges. If
your kids are not high achievers it is
not the end of the world for them.
Lately I took several local flights,
both by MAS and Air Asia. I always took
care to listen to the pilot's
announcement to judge their language and
pronunciation, as I found it something
entertaining. International pilot some
time create joke to break the monotony,
like 'Ladies and gentlemen there
is a turbulence ahead. We are flying
through it. Please pray....'
Secondly I prepared myself at every
landing. Good landing has always been
smooth. You won't feel the plane has
touch the ground. But these few flights
there were strong bumps, that can tear
your collar bones.
Those do not tell about the pilots.
Brain has nothing to do with skill.

WHAT
DO I KNOW ABOUT FLOOD ? |
I stay foot in my room, searching and
scanning for information, flipping
internet pages, hoping to gather some
concrete news what's really happening. I
saw huge water movement, quick and rapid
flow with strong impact. I saw houses
and buildings being covered by water
almost at rooftops. I saw helpers in
uniform with dinghy and boats. And I
concluded that flood is not a trifle
matter.
Kelantan, Trengganu and Pahang are at
the mercy of the South China Sea, facing
the huge ocean with nothing to block
them from any angry ocean. During the
bad mood it may decide to splash the
land that bound it's home.
Even the most sophisticated nation with
unchallenged technological capability
could be tamed by the wrath ocean. Men
did not push the flood away. But the
water itself receded and once again put
mankind into tasks.
The only third eye to monitor live flood
is the satellite. We don't have our own.
The area is wide to cover. The rapid
flow is the main hindrance.
I really don't know what are all the
complaints about ? Certainly electrical
supply has to be cut with a supply of
such magnitude.
Not everyone can jump and claim as a
rescue workers. There must be an
authorization ID which is to be given at
peace time and the time of tranquility.
Prowlers and robbers find it is an
opportune time to steal. Radio call can
come from anybody at all. The final go
into the disaster area need a
reconfirmation from a relevant
authority. It won't take time to do it.
While driving, I thought of doing a
dinghy business, sold at affordable
price, so that every household can buy
and keep one at home. We can't depend on
the government to supply a unit to
everyone. What I mean is that it is a
high time for someone to set up a dinghy
company.
I am sure there will be a post mortem
after this. And Najib has to be there.
He cannot leave the meeting to his
deputy or subordinates. His first duty
is to the people. Whether Lim Guan Eng
is on holiday or Wan Azizah wasn't in
the Kajang flood is not the matter. Just
because others are thieves does qualify
everyone of us as thief too.
On papers money is pouring in. RM500
million is not small. Selangor brings in
1 million. Many other bodies are
collecting funds and donations. Again we
have to compute the number of flood
victims. Think on your own and make your
own conclusion. This is not the work of
a keyboard warrior. We just ask you to
rationalize and think.

GRAVITY LIGHT |
Gravia:
Gravity-Powered LED Lamp
When
people talk about alternative
energy, gravity isn't exactly
the first thing that comes to
mind. But Clay Moulton, a
student from Virginia Tech,
managed to tap into its
potential with his entry for the
2008
Greener
Gadgets Design Competition.
Gravia
is a gravity-powered LED lamp
that won second place in said
contest: It's a 4-foot floor
lamp with an acrylic column and
ten high-output LED lights.
To light
the lamp up, all you have to do
is move its brass weights to the
top of the column. The falling
action of the mass provides the
power to turn the LED lights on.
This design draws parallels with
various types of time-telling
devices, such as grandfather
clocks and hourglasses. You do
have to repeat the process, but
not for 4 hours.
The
Gravia is still a concept as of
now. However, when it becomes
available commercially, the
estimated lifespan is 200 years
if you leave it running 8 hours
a day, 365 days per year. And if
you're thinking that the lamp
would look hideous within a
decade, think again. According
to Moulton, the acrylic yellows
as it ages and hence could
neutralize the bluish tint of
the LEDs to produce a more
natural lighting effect. This
yellowing could be achieved
within 10 to 15 years, which
means that like wine, it only
gets better with time.
There are so many amazing ideas around
but none so far comes from our people,
in particular from the Malay youths. We
do have great young men with ideas. But
do we care about them. Rather than
setting up research stations, we train
them to attack and to retaliate against
the truth. We teach them to lie and to
be stupid and to create evil amongst the
peaceful people. With those attitudes we
want people to respect us.

PRIVATE REPEATER |
No one
can own a frequency of a ham band. Even
if a repeater is parked on one
frequency, that frequency does not
belong to the machine. Hence anyone can
use that frequency regardless whether it
is being parked by a certain repeater. A
private repeater should go out of the
ham band and bring the members and the
family members out there with them.
Remember NO FREQUENCY SHALL BE ASSIGNED
FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF ANY STATION.
Amateur
regulation is always above the repeater
owners. Repeater owners are not KING who
can make any rule they like against
amateur radio regulation such as
permitting the non-licensee to operate
using that repeater. We used to have
such a private repeater outside the ham
band, where non-licensee could operate
for a fee. BUT the operator's
communication must be registered and a
fee must be paid. Our rules say an AA
need to pass RAE implying the repeater
users without an AA certificate could
be fined or jailed.
A private
repeater is also known as a close
repeater. If it chose to show it's
arrogance, it would be a suicide in some
part of the world. Hams may not jammed
them. Others may.
We have
enough of a political battle in the
country. Such a despotic trait should
not be allowed to pollute amateur radio
which is becoming more and more divided.
We used to welcome every ham and enjoy
each other's company. Now it has become
a culture of avoidance. ASTRA was born
out of racial reason and for sometimes
had a racist tone. MARES is a splinter
group of MARTS. Then came MARL trying to
take over MARTS.
Someone
said that 7.043 was my frequency. I did
not say that and never stop anyone from
using it, never chased anyone out by any
dirty mean. That 7.043 belongs to
everyone. I just happen to like that
location. That's all. Surely someone had
heard about asking the authority to kick
me out of that place.
What a
great Malaysian hams ?
Each
repeater takes up 2 frequencies. The
same station is heard on 147665 -
147685. That is considered one. After
the offset another length of bandwidth
is taken up. If we were to have 200
private stations, how much will be left
for the rest to use ?
Rules for
the private owners must not challenge
the amateur radio regulation if it is
using the ham frequency. Outside the ham
band they can set up any rule they like.
That is between them and the authority.
Repeater
owners on the ham band could claim the
frequencies belong to them and we cannot
respect them. They are welcome to take
their repeater somewhere else.
One basic
characteristic of ham radio is not for
pecuniary benefit. You don't sell your
service to the people. You can always
appeal for a donation, tell the people
of your bank and the account number.
"Pay as much as you like and as frequent
as you want. We would appreciate your
support." I am sure many will pay. Or
collect a repeater donation during
exhibition or on a field day. Avoid
arrogance and high handedness.

My trip to Hawaii was via
Narita. The old route to Los
Angeles by MAS would take
the route from Kuala Lumpur
to Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Narita, Honolulu and finally
Los Angeles. I usually break
journey at Honolulu for
several days. Likewise on
the journey home I would
take another rest in Hawaii.
The journey back home from
Hawaii to Kuala Lumpur would
first stop at Narita, not in
Indianapolis. The city is in
the Midwest of the United
States.
The distant between Hawaii
and Kuala Lumpur is 11205
miles. From Honolulu to
Indianapolis is 4343 miles,
Indianapolis to Kuala Lumpur
is 15177 miles.
That mean I would have to
fly 19520 miles home from
Honolulu to Indianapolis to
Kuala Lumpur, instead of
11205 miles.

EMERGENCY READINESS |
This
year the flood situation is worse than
the previous year. Watching the news on
national TV I gather JPAM is doing a
good job battling the rapid flow of the
tide. Communication via the cell-phone
from the flood area is operational. The
public must be told the number to call
when helps are needed.
JPAM,
RELA and police have enough of their own
communication equipments. Millions were
spent for the hard ware and for
training.
While
many of the ham radio operators stand by
for any emergency call for
reinforcement, a few set up their
stations. The best so far that I know is
9M2RDX who set up the station under JPAM.
What I
don't know is on the utilization of
these stations; the gathering of
information and to whom they are to be
transmitted. Where is the command and
control center and to whom messages will
be sent and by what mode ? If all the
centers have enough equipments and
manpower and the technical knowledge
then they would operate the
communication procedure by themselves.
If not, they would call the amateur
radio operators to do the work for them.
The
best the hams can do is 'search and
rescue' if JPAM and RELA do not have
ample manpower.
I
happened to hear one station using a
Club call sign with a distorted audio.
If he needs an immediate help and he
could not made himself understood the
effort would be very futile. Assume that
he were to see 5 boys hanging on a tree
trunk passing with a great speed through
him, and his call for assistant are not
understood, his station is as good as
useless.
Emergency readiness could be provided by
a low power small and portable
transceiver and a proficiency in Morse
Codes. CW could be read even the tone is
below 9. Tone between 1-5 could easily
be perceived.
Please, don't be angry with my comment.
Remember we cannot take things for
granted with the 'Tidak Apa' attitudes.
Using
ham frequencies as a disaster spots
would not be very nice move. Disaster
frequencies have to be outside the ham
bands. Outside stations could always
break in while important messages are
being sent.
It is
different from amateur usage for relief
activities, calling fellow hams to send
supplies and giving information to
fellow hams about the closing roads, and
other tasks not pertaining to the
organization and implementation of the
rescue procedure set up by the
government agency.
The
FCC allows ham operators to call other
services in matters life and death. I am
sure our authority allows such a
communication too. Then we have to know
who to contact and on what frequency.
That is all.
Those
who really want to help should get hold
of at least one QRP rig and learn Morse
codes. I don't say must pass CW but
merely learn the codes. If they
themselves were caught in flood, they
can carry the small rig, the power
supply and other minimal facilities.
They do not take more than 1/8 of the
bag pack.

DON'T BLAME PM |
Would
Najib tell Obama of US inaction if Anwar
is jailed ? If Obama is smart he will
just say "We will see" and consult the
Vice President on the subject matter.
Surely he is working very hard to win
sympathy and support from the President.
He has a lot to talk to Obama, on MH370,
trade, Mahathir's persistent attack,
1MDB, seditious act and what he can
offer to the United States if he is in
power. Certainly those are more
important than the flood. Mahyuddin is
at home to provide the command and
control.
If
Najib is bad Mahathir won't have put him
there and the voters won't vote for BN.
They just love their leaders and willing
to pay more for the rising cost of
living.
Even
if Najib is at home, the mindless flood
does not know who Najib is. Not even the
great coconut shamans can command the
rapidly moving water to stop. With a
strong current it hardened the rescue
effort. Everyone on the ground has done
his best. We just hope there will be no
politicking. When people die, God will
not ask what political party a person
brings with him.
When
Najib is playing golf people fired him.
Soon when he comes home, people will
still fire him. But when come to
election he will still win. Amazing.

IT'S CHEAP BUT I CAN'T
PAY |
Being old does not not stop me from
doing what the younger people do. One,
in particular, I want to enjoy the
modern technology that has reached our
homes. My students showed surprise when
I told them I want to do PIC
programming. "Why not, if I can
still develop computer soft wares
including the biometric system ?
" I responded.
Of course I cannot develop every
application that I desire to have. GPS
is one of them. GPS for the iPhone and
Android is not expensive. I used to pay
RM1.8K for a stand alone Garmin which
was stolen. But the one sold in the
iTune is far cheaper and very
affordable. Many cost below US1.
I can't make a purchase because I can't
pay. It is not that I am so very poor to
pay just a dollar but because I do not
own credit card. I am not qualified for
a card as I am a retired old man. Even
health insurance rejects me. Jobless who
rely on their pensions are really in a
group of Pariah.
I only depend on the free soft ware,
which sometimes last for only a month
before it's expiry. I-Tunes should
understand the plight of some internet
users like me. To the elderly computer
is just a past time. We don't make money
by them. Whatever we can, we pay.
Whatever we can't, leave us with great
frustrations.
Without a credit card, I can't rent a
car, can't book hotel online, and
limited many of my activities. The
saddest is that I can't buy things
online or purchase any of the iTune
project.

A TEE
WITH OBAMA ON CHRISTMAS DAY |
When Najib is in Hawaii for a vacation,
the local UMNO cyber trooper published a
picture of Najib navigating a boat at
the flood scene and another said Najib
is in Hawaii to do a job for his
country.
As usual bodies of intelligence work
hard to sniff the reason for his visit
and having a tee with Obama on the
Christmas Day. They would come up with
several hypothesis first and try to
confirm any of those by following
investigation.
I would surmise the visit as part of
struggling for survival. Biden and a few
other Americans were attacking him on
human right and what he is doing to
Anwar.
Secondly, the vicious attack on him by
Mahathir and other UMNO members is
destabilizing his position. The
declining ringgit and the heavier burden
faced by 1MDB could put him in
crucifixion. He drag Malaysia into
economic blunder that can put him away. Mahathir's words is very scary "
somebody would go to jail ".
Remember, Obama was a lawyer. Locally he
seek the help of Shafiee. He has to
appeal for help from Obama.
Najib is not worried about the flood because
Malaysia has prepared for such
calamities and had organized the
manpower very well. His son is around
with the flood victims. He has all the
people to take care of the situation. He
can depend on those people under him. Adnan is there to monitor and to
command. And Mahyuddin says "I am
here."
You cannot force other people to think
like you. Bung would prefer the leader
to be with the rakyat during the
catastrophe. Many world leaders would go
home from any international meeting.
But the people of Kuantan permit Najib to do
what he likes.

SUNLESS |
Merry
Christmas to all Christians. In many
parts of Peninsular Malaysia 2015 is a
gloomy Christmas. We have not seen the
sun for several days. The rain drops do
not seem to end. Everyone is scarred
that flood might come to the West Coast.
In
Malaysia calamities have been
politicized. If it happens in a state
ruled by the opposition party, UMNO
would capitalize it as the wrath of God
for not voting the ruling parties. If it
happens in the BN ruled states they
would say 'without UMNO the Malays will
die, washed away by the flood'. Those
words sound ridiculous but they are real
and loud.
About a
month ago there was a rumor that the
world will be without sun for three
days. To the believers that the world is
flat, it means the sun would not raise.
To the scientific populace, the earth
would stop rotating for 72 hours. It is
a sign of the end of the world. Luckily
it did not turn out that way. The holy
day for the Christian will still be at
least three days without the sun.
Clouds
and rain is not something to be fear of.
But the horror is the flood. It robbed
belongings and movable properties, and
even lives. If nature decides to send
it, the most powerful nation with
sophisticated technology wouldn't be
able to stop it.
Once the
economist used to say calamities and
natural disasters and diseases were to
balance the world population to be
equate with the amount of resources for
a living. If nature has that sense we
would expect the world population to be
stable and almost at a static point.
Every 5 to 10 years millions will die of
natural catastrophes. But it did not
happen that way. Less and less of human
death at each catastrophe. They learned
how to survive. Death is simpler by
killing, murder and war.
Do you
ever imagine our world without sun ?
What if we wake up the next 24 hours and
see darkness and later told that our sun
has vanished, without a trace ? Our
earth will filled with hums of mantras,
hymns, and prayers of all languages
while America says "Lets build
artificial sun and light the earth again"
using energy of earth magnetic field to
power the light by beaming it to the
huge light vehicles in the sky. In the
meantime half of the living things begin
to die and new specie emerges
independent of the sun light source.
I
switched off my air-conditioning while
driving because it was too cold. My home
electric fans are not used. I have to
boil water for my wife to bath. This
morning, my wife did not want to wake up
for her dialysis. I wore a jacket to the
dialysis center.
In the
extreme weather and bad atmosphere the
poor suffer more. Wealthy people escaped
haze and pollution by leaving the
country and return when situations are
back to normal. They have jets and
helicopters to escape earth quake. They
get the clean water supplies when the
normal folks experience dry taps. The
Muslims never stopped praying for the
better "Oh God, let not the flood
worsen. Forgive all our sins, for we are
only human..." None will say 'Vote
for UMNO and the flood will perish and
the sun will shine again tommorrow".
This
morning I went to Majid Nasi Tomato. It
was drizzling. The rice of the extra
large pot was almost finished. "Every
rainy day the sale is good,"
said the restaurant owner.
Some are
worried and some are not, with or
without sun. I am pretty scared.

NAJIB
HITS BACK AT MAHATHIR ? |
Najib
would not stand back and doing nothing
at Mahathir's agression. He has Shafiee
and Patail behind him, as lawyers and
advisors. As usual he will use all
available avenues to fight back. The
main weapon is money. Wouldn't Najib
paid to the foreign journalists to hit
back at Mahathir ? He awarded Dr Asmah
and went to see the man who put him
there. The moves were expected. As I
have said, Pak Lah was willing to step
down but Najib will never want to do so.
"Try me if you can..."
Najib would tell Mahathir. As Mahathir
said that United States does not have a
high moral value to teach Malaysia what
to do, he too did not have a good record
during his tenure of office.
I see no
way that Najib can be put away however
bad he is. No matter what happen to the
economy and how much sufferings the
people have, he will remain in power. It
is not due to the black magic of Rosmah
but it is the setup of UMNO and the
political system of BN.
Mahathir
won't pay people to create sex story on
Najib. But I won't be surprise if such a
story pop up. Najib knows better and
takes precautions to ensure he will not
become a victim. He has no choice but to
take Rosmah along with him to free
himself from such a trap. Nevertheless
we could be sure that the anti-Najib
group are discussing all avenues to
bring the Prime Minister to his heel.
Soon you
will be reading more foreign articles
that will praise Najib and scorn
Mahathir.
