LOYALTY TO A
MAN AND LOYALTY TO GOD
From the
beginning, Najib had been calling the Malaysians
to be loyal to him. And to most the call was
something obvious and normal. What was
happening, well hidden under Najib's cloak was
not known by almost every Malaysians. Najib had
done a lot of wrongs, sinful and against the
law. He did not want people to question him and
the government. That was why he called the
people to obey without questioning.
Najib almost got
what he demanded. Ismail Sabry, Ku Nan, Said
Keruak, Rahman, Pandikar and his other Ministers
prostrated, and Ismail likened Najib to God, and
Najib himself declared he is elected by Allah as
a Prime Minister. Even if they know public funds
went into Najib's personal account, they would
not want to believe it. If proven they say they
approve such a scam. Therefore all illegal
things become legal by their approvals.
There are civil
servants and Ministers who want God to forgive
their sins by carrying out orders from Najib
saying 'they have no choice but to obey'. They
used the term Cari Makan. Jobless young
people need money and they have to submit to
accept any dirty job like the Cyber Troopers, or
becoming political hooligans. These are mainly
from the Malay group who are not independent
enough economically.
How far will the
loyalist go to defend a man who will somehow be
known to commit heinous crimes ? And how far will
the IGP willing to go for the same reason. Islam
and Muslims are not a rogue religion. The police
and the army cannot argue with God that they
have to obey a man for their family survival for
they have the alternatives. One of them is to
stop the crime and the criminal.
The test for a
true Muslimin is here and now. He has to choose
between God and a man.

THE LIE IS
GETTING TOUGHER
I
am sorry, I don't mean to be rude. Look at Najib in
the picturem doesn't he look like a priest ? SR does
not tell all with the accompanying photos but
certainly it is asking the readers to make their own
conclusions. I would say SR is making another wild
story but the lie is getting tougher.
It
is making Najib a real criminal implying the death
of Morais was the sole responsibility of the Prime
Minister himself using several persons as
accomplices. Already by now Pandi has been shown the
whole story of the crime scene and the stealing of
the public funds. What is on Pandi's desk has
nothing to do with Sarawak Report but it was base on
the investigation.
You read the story
above. Take it as a lie and a mere entertainment.
You ought to know how tough it is for Najib. Once
Sabah and Sarawak began to know the truth Najib can
bid good bye to the premiership and he could brace
for the worst to come.
A real believer in
God, Muslims or Christians, will not continue to
defend sinners and kill or arrest those who are
telling the truth. Either one is a liar, Najib or
Sarawak Report/ WSJ.

DOES RADIO
KNOWLEDGE MATTER ?
There are at least three favorite questions I
sometimes asked those who claim to be expert in
radio. They are simple, basic and never a
complicated high level stuffs. The first question
is; there are three stations transmitting. You use a
radio and rotate a knob to choose them one by one.
Explain clearly how you get those station one by
one. The second is I would take 5 or 6 1/2 watts
color resistors with color codes and asked them to
identify the values. This is more basic than the
first one. The next one is on the balance modulator;
what is it for and explain how it works.
Only yesterday I asked one of the hams to compute a
Pythagoras formula. It is a formula I learned in
Form 2. When I talked of Enstein e=mc2 without
knowing Pythagoras, I have to know myself and my
real capability.
Would knowledge matter ? To be a professional
related knowledge do matter. We don't want to have
doctors who wrongly diagnosed a patient and who
can't carry operation procedures.
Not
knowing the resistors, the impedance of the LC
circuit, the working of an antenna do not hinder a
person to operate a radio. Cash is king. Everything
is in the market. Buy them and hook whatever stuffs
you purchase and off you go on the air.
Radio transceivers are sold like hot cakes and they
are found everywhere. It is easier now then before
to buy the HF sets.
There are numerous unidentified stations with all
sort of call signs. The numbers are on the increase.
It provides jobs to a lot of people. Not only the 4
X 4, other automobile groups are setting up their
own network. They don't have to sit for an exam to
operate. They would ask 'What is the exam for ?'
Does the knowledge on the tune circuit matter ?
Do
we need hams to save people's life using radio
communication ? Yes. We do need hams as well as the
rest. Then let the public get access to
communication equipments. They are much cheaper than
the smart-phones. A HF set is available at less than
4K. Mind you, the new radio is so small that no
resistors and capacitors are easily readable. Many
are using a single chip processor reducing the size.
You can't even apply any logic circuit about it. In
fact there is no technical relevancy at all.
If
there is an argument on procedure, then what
procedure are we talking about ? Listen to band,
local and international, ham and CB, pirates and
other services and narrate the procedure. You can
hear LANJUT...ROGER in passing, and all sort of
stuffs. Is there anything funny ? NO.

KNOWING THE MALAYS
WON'T VOTE FOR BN
Knowing that the truth will finally be known on
Najib's corruption and his way of life BN is
preparing for a strategy to lock the Malays in two
ways. The first is pulling Hadi into the arm of UMNO
and secondly to make the Malays detest DAP as a
Chinese party. The campaign has started. The end is
unknown.
With a huge sum of money spent and the relentless
effort by Najib's team to elevate his image the
result shown is still discouraging though various
efforts were made. In the recent opening speech at
the Bukit Jalil's stadium people started to leave
the venue living empty seats. And in some other
places there were paid spectators forced themselves
to listen to the Prime Minister.
If
PAS is on their own, the Malays would flock to vote
the party. Najib knows this too. Pulling Hadi in
under the guise of Islamic unity against the
Christian DAP is an early winning for him. He knows
PAS would be killed either by his UMNO people or by
the Malays.
Will the Malays go for DAP if they the other choice
is BN ? It is hard to predict. If the Malays found
Najib is worse than the Chinese then they will go
for DAP. Knowing this also Najib is trying extremely
hard to discredit Penang as a failed state and the
state that mistreated the Malays.
Despite his rigorous struggle he should assess his
popularity at every functions when people are
walking out, or booed at him. The Westerners would
have resign at the national insults they received or
the failures made in the course of running the
country. The 2.6 billions scandal should be enough
to say sorry and handle the post to someone else.
Even winning an election by frauds and continuing
running the country would still earn him no respect.
That's the reason for the existence of the word
SHAME. People are making fun of their Prime Minister
and the spouse as well. There are so many leaked
photos of Rosmah, that are hilarious. It is a total
rejection. It would be like a naked King walking
with an invisible dress.
Tunku could take a stroll without a bodyguard, Najib
is surrounded by bodyguards even at an UMNO
meetings.
But
there is one thing that I can tell you; many Malays
prefer to work under the Chinese boss rather than
the Malays. Try to make an honest survey and don't
be surprise with the result.
Don't make the Malays think the worse of DAP is far
better than what Najib had done to the people and
the country.

NAJIB HAS TO
PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT HE IS CLEAN
American investors are asked to stay away from
Malaysia as they have not heard the answers asked by
the Malaysians on 1Mdb and the 2.6 billion donation.
If they know all the accusations were all lies and
the publications by SR and WSJ were tempered with
they wouldn't have cared to leave the country. The
world began to learn more and more about Najib,
including his payment to the Arab to tell Clinton
about Anwar being a terrorist.
Najib is clinging hard to Obama to save Malaysia.
Obama is going away soon. He thinks TPPA can release
Malaysia from the big financial problem like he
thought the GST could. One only needs to aks how
much is 1Mdb loan now whether the 42 billion has
been reduced to 20, or has gone up to 45 as our
ringgit keeps on shrinking. Perhaps Najib would
never want to know how his policy could shrink the
ringgit.
The
exposure on Najib may not be read by the Malaysians.
Almost all those I asked whether they can open up SR
said they did not know. And I would not tell them
so. The world is reading them. And the Thais know
the real truth from Justo. Surely the investors have
to look for the greener grass.
Najib can revive the confidence and the economy by
resigning. But he knows that the next generation
will take action on the existing loan, wastage and
mismanagement of funds. He will stay foot and drag
the rest to sink and die with him.
What has not Najib done to promote his image to the
Malaysians and the world ? Do we see more money
coming in and more investors rushing to help
boosting our economy ?
Millions who see Najib as a dishonest and corrupt
Minister have chosen to remain silent and let nature
takes it's course. His demand for total loyalty and
his moto cash is king are enough to make his people
to carve a policy to his likings. His cyber troopers
are fueling more hatred against him. The citizens
prefer peaceful living than riots in the streets. So
they go on with their daily chores.
Do
we know that USA is not run by Obama ? Nobody likes
Malaysia unless they can gain from the social
interactions. We might be getting scammers flowing
in to make big bucks for their fake companies.
Najib's advisors and consultants may be asked to
prove that Najib is clean. They brought in people to
say SR printed full of lies. Then more publications
were made both by SR and WSJ. WSJ was told to be a
toilet paper news run by Rupert. Yet everyone is
still waiting for Najib's legal ctions against SR
and WSJ.
I
think Najib won't take a heed to prove his
innocence, thinking his new AG and the Chief Justice
are enough to protect him. He said himself that he
is the shadow of God.

FIGHTING
DISSIDENTS THROUGH GOOD GOVERNANCE
Would a fair and just government be
fearful of ISIS ? I think the Malaysian
authority knows that the Islamic
militants would target bad Malaysian
leaders and those around the Prime
Minister. The Malays, especially, who
hate Najib would resort to arm uprising
to topple the current scandalous leader.
This was the history of the beginning of
the civil war in Syria, about the
toppling of Assad. It started from a
small dissatisfaction.
In Indonesia there were a few bombings
before aiming at American and Western
interests and properties. It happened
before and during Jokowi's era. And the
Southern Thailand militants were of
different nature. The Muslim's South
have been greateful to our government
for the vast assistants Malaysia had
given to them, not to fight the Thai
authority but to promote and their
economy and their safety. They would not
sponsor any arms uprising against
Malaysian authority.
We can't say anything about the
Indonesians. But the police once relate
Malaysians with the Indonesians
terrorists. That was before ISIS was
heard of. Despite the very close
scrutiny on the militant movements yet
the country was shocked again by the
recent bombings. This time it said that
the ISIS claimed to be responsible.
I don't believe that the small isolated
bombings were the work of the ISIS
unless the movement is very well
organized in this part of the world and
operate like the Irish IRA. If
there is such a network in these
countries leaders will not be save even
with heavily guarded personnel.
It is highly probable the bombers are
from some mentally sick individuals who
thought they can change the sinful
world.
Pictures published showing several ISIS
soldiers pointing guns at each of the
individuals of the same ethnic group
scared us to death. But think over if
they were the heads of Ku Nan or Ahmad
Maslan. And Hishamuddin said he is in
the hit list. If they are already here
or Indonesia several heads would have
been gone.
We told the United States to encourage
moderate Muslims to fight IS influence.
Jimmy Carter on the other hand blamed on
Israel's obstinacy on Palestinian issue.
But I call for a good governance, and
good leaderships. Instead of fueling
the seed of hatred we should erase them completely.
The consistent cruelty will eventually
created an underground movement like the
IRA which was the most dangerous and
effective resistance movement. You knew
the leader but you did not not know the
members.
Militancy among the Malays will not
survive long and would be without the
hardware for a simple reason. The Malays
are not smart enough and possess myopic
vision of everything in life. They love
to talk about whatever things they want
to do. They have the trait of slavery
and docility. They won't go an extra
mile to get important things for
themselves. In short they are still
lazy, stupid but emotional.
The Malays cannot be the home of the
ISIS or Al-Queda.
It is true that the events in Indonesia
should be of our main concern. A big and
a long lasting skirmishes can spill into
our country for our border is very
vulnerable. We can't even control the
influx of the illegal immigrants that
come across the straits. But
heavy weaponry have almost an impossible
task to flow into Indonesia from the
Middle East. The dissidents have to
homebrew their own guns and weapons.
The Malaysians do still remember during
the era of confrontation when no local
showed any support to the Indonesians
military intruder in Labis. There was a
strong loyalty to the government and a
very strong support to our national
leadership. There was a good governance
then.
The turbulence started during Mahathir's
era. The big cyclone sweeps during Najib
kingship. The Jakarta bombing is making
our police pretty busy.

VS IS POKING MY
NERVES
Visual

can't save datagridview data to the main

by experts and the MSDN itself. If I
could I do not want to save using the
other methods as I have narrated in the

Doing the
experiment is not easy. Projects that I
made were aggressively attacked by HEUR

overcome the problem by not connecting
to the internet. I have to use local
files to put on the webbrowser and start
to do the resizing work. I put a dialog
box to navigate through folders on my

The sizing
codes are too long. I wanted to make
shorter by replacing the long with the
short codes.

The above

It shows the code
MyWeb.ExecWB(Exec.OLECMDID_OPTICAL_ZOOM,
ExecOpt.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER,
180).
As the
user press the button the last number
will change. But to my surprise the
logic does not work. There was no error
shown.
I felt
like yelling aloud to Microsoft. It is a
real frustration. I may have to skip
these woes and continue with other

CRAZY CODES BUT IT
IS WORKING
Someone posted a calculator project. I followed
everything step by step but surprisingly it did not
work. I thought of putting it in my logbook project.
The codes looked nice but I could not comprehend the
relevancies of the buttons. Only button with the
number 7 seemed to put the number on the display.
And pressing buttons took a lot of time. So I
decided to do away with the button and came up with
a simpler application.
The
crazy codes are shown in bold. The application is
called KIRAAN SAMPLE 9M2AR displayed above. The only
catch is one has to click the function + X / - first
before entering the numbers. Say we want to add 98,
12,100, 76,22,35 and 20; we click + . type 98 Enter,
type 12 and Enter, type 100 and Enter...until the
last number. The total is displayed below the entry
box. If one wants to divide the result by 12, one
needs to click /, enter number 12 and press Enter.
But most users only need to do a single work. The
image above just presume a series of purchase until
the total is 120.65. The customer pays 200.00.
Clicking button change will show the amount 79.35.
Soon I will expand the diapole length using this
very form.
Dim n1 As Integer, n3 As Integer,
kom
Dim n2 As Decimal
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As
EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
kom = 2
Label2.Text = "Multiplication"
TextBox1.Select()
End Sub
Private Sub Button3_Click(sender As Object, e As
EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
kom = 3
Label2.Text = " Division"
TextBox1.Select()
End Sub
Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As Object, e As
EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
TextBox1.Text = ""
n2 = 0
Label1.Text = ""
n1 = 0
End Sub
Private Sub Button5_Click(sender As Object, e As
EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
kom = 4
Label2.Text = "Substraction"
TextBox1.Select()
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As
EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
kom = 1
Label2.Text = "Addition"
TextBox1.Select()
End Sub
Private Sub Button6_Click(sender As Object, e As
EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click
Label3.Text = Val(TextBox2.Text) - Val(Label1.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(sender As Object, e As
KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If Asc(e.KeyChar) = 13 Then
n2 = Val(Label1.Text)
n1 = n1 + 1
If kom = 4 And n1 = 1 Then Label1.Text =
TextBox1.Text: TextBox1.Text = "": Exit Sub
If kom = 3 And n1 = 1 Then Label1.Text =
TextBox1.Text: TextBox1.Text = "": Exit Sub
If kom <> 1 And n2 = 0 Then n2 = 1
If kom = 1 Then Label1.Text = Val(n2) +
Val(TextBox1.Text)
If kom = 4 Then Label1.Text = Val(n2) -
Val(TextBox1.Text)

Val(TextBox1.Text)
If kom = 3 Then Label1.Text = Val(n2) /
Val(TextBox1.Text)
TextBox1.Text = ""
Label1.Text = Format(Val(Label1.Text), "0.00")
End If

Mind you for most of

THE SUM METHOD
It took me a few days
to get the my Visual Studio 2015 to do the summing
up of numbers or integers. When I plucked the codes
from other websites and pasted in my procedure it
kept on failing me. Funny I have to close my Wifi to
stop from the HEUR trojan attacked. It deleted my
complied exe applications. My hours of jobs spent
went astray when I could not get the codes working
again. I don't know whether I did it OK by deleting
all the SVHost stuffs found in the application
folder.
SUM
and counts are very essential items in most of the
applications. My logbook does not have any job for
summing up it has a lot of counting work like the
number of SSB, CW and FM modes in my communications.
At
least there is a small progress made. Below are the
codes for summing and counting.
Private Sub Button13_Click(sender As Object, e As
EventArgs) Handles Button13.Click
Me.Text = BUKULOGDataSet.BUKULOG.compute("sum(bil)",
"name1='" & TextBox5.Text & "'").ToString
End Sub
There is a catch in
the summing procedure. The field has to be a numeric
form. I can't change the string field to numbers by
using VAL(). There may be a way. I hope to find it.
Below are the codes for counting. Previously I used
the filter method and then I count the total
listings. Now I have the choice either applying the
filter or the syntax below.
Private Sub Button12_Click(sender As Object, e As
EventArgs) Handles Button12.Click
fm.Text =
BUKULOGDataSet.BUKULOG.compute("count(mode)",
"mode='FM' and callsign='" & TextBox4.Text & "'").ToString
ssb.Text =
BUKULOGDataSet.BUKULOG.compute("count(mode)",
"mode='SSB' and callsign='" & TextBox4.Text & "'").ToString
CW.Text = BUKULOGDataSet.BUKULOG.compute("count(mode)",
"mode = 'CW' and callsign='" & TextBox4.Text & "'").ToString
End Sub
As far as the logbook
is concern it is almost done. I have to add some
more features like the antenna calculation, and
calculator. I will also add up another bigger
browser to display important pages for the ham
radio. The interface feature will come later. It
looks like the android programming will come later
with Xamarin.
May be by the time I
get all the dreamed skills I will die out of ageing.
I will go first before Najib and Mahathir. |
THE GAME THE PEOPLE
HAS TO PAY
Though politics is dirty, it has to have a limit
unless one solemnly declared one is not a Muslim by
ignoring the teaching of Allah. It may be an
apparition but PM Najib is seen has stepped out far
beyond the limit, that has not been a practiced of
Tunku, Hussein Onn and Tun Razak. I can't say about
Mahathir.
You
propagate lies, fabricating evidence against your
enemy, put them in jail and use all the resources to
make your enemy look bad. I am sorry, I know why
Najib is fond of going to the Arab states these days
and how he continues to lie not only to the
Malaysians but also to the foreign dignitaries. You
can't emulate Israel by calling the Palestinians
terrorists and killed them just by the words you
use.
We
are concerned because a lot of our resources have
been used just to maintain Najib in power. I am not
wrong to say on how the idea of GST comes about.
For
once, Najib has to believe in God. He should notice
bad things are coming to the country and eventually
will strike him.
By
the time he gets too old and too tired more of his
doings will be revealed and exposed. Despite his
cunningness the world is investigating him. I would
say the Thais have known much on the real truth and
about Najib. Sarawak Report must have got all the
information from other international investigators.
Because of his
excessiveness there would be bound for someone who
would punish him in the court of law when he
retires, even at 100 years old.
Try to think about the
red water of the sea that is facing Pahang. It is
carrying a some kind of bad omen. We wait and see.

WHY ANTS LOVE
THE KEYBOARD ?
This is
a very small type of ant that our eyes
can missed. She loves household wall
sockets and the computer keyboards.
My Acer laptops are able to work in
spite of being home to this minute
specie/ But my MacBook pro isn't. The
keyboard went haywire. It could not be
peeled out to clean it. I thought the
issue was resolved when I sprayed the
key boards with the screen liquid
cleaner. It worked for a while but later
the nuisance happened again. I stopped
using my Mac for quite some time.
When I
bought the slow HP machine to work on
Visual Studio 2015 I saw the minute ants
creeping around the keyboard again. Bad
luck for me that the new HP was attacked
by a Malware that attacked all the exe
files and deleted them. I have to figure
out about the cure for the trouble. In
the meantime I uninstall the Visual
Studio and bought a USB keyboard, which
cost me less than RM30.
The reason
I love my Mac is that I don't have to
worry about the malicious attack. It is
faster. And the screen resolution is
just fantastic. In fact I was
contemplating of buying a new one. The
price is a little jumpy. It is about
RM7K. I could buy about 7 normal Windows
PC.
Since now
my Macbook Pro's key board issue is
solved with the external keyboard, I am
able to use it again, especially in
typing comments for the FB and the other
social media.
Why ants
love the keyboard ? I don't know.
Probably it smells the materials or the
membrane keyboard. May be. Or the heat
that fit the temperature of it's liking.
May be too.
I have to
call off my plan to go to Padang Besar
to buy the cat food because I wanted to
resolve the external keyboard stuff
first. Parking in town is difficult. I
had to park my car in front of the
national mosque and walked quite a
distant away. I did it under the hot
midday sun just above my head.
Rusli, my
radio friend, advised me to but a
ChromeBook instead of a new Mac. It is
much faster and I would not have to
worry about virus. Google will take care
of such insidious havoc. I went to 4
local computer shops but nobody knows
what ChromeBook is.
I will
revert back to the Apple product without
having have to spend on another Laptop,
Mac or non mac. 7K almost made my ASB
dividend vanished. I don;t want my long
waited 12 months dividends to be sucked
away in a minute.
Ever
wonder why we live to fight mice and
ants, corruptions and politicians ?

FURTHER
INTERACTION CODES - TEXTBOX NAVIGATION
I think
the deleting procedure interaction is
completed. Deleting a row will inform
the rs of the record deleted and the
record in the file will be erased. Of
course I can say to myself to wait till
I got the right codes for saving
datagtridview to the source file. What
may be new in this project is the boxes
navigation at the time of data entry. In
the previous articles I used a single
subroutine but in this one I
experimented with every text box. |
The
codes below will move the cursor to the next text
box. Private Sub
TextBox7_KeyPress(sender As Object, e As
KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox7.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = (Chr(Keys.Enter)) Then TextBox7.Text
= UCase(TextBox7.Text) : TextBox8.Select()
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox8_KeyPress(sender As Object, e As
KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox8.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = (Chr(Keys.Enter)) Then TextBox8.Text
= UCase(TextBox8.Text) : TextBox9.Select()
End Sub

RS INTERACT WITH DATABINDING
|
I have not found the way to save the
new or edited data to the file yet
from the datagridview. I know I will resolve
it on one fine day. So I decide to
experiment the saving and the edited data
using the rs dataset. The datdgridview
is for displaying and the rs is for saving
it.
The exploration swallowed my time off. A few
codes like the declaration for the sizing
the webbrowser's content is copied and
paste. Mind you that I am already almost 70,
senile and getting rotten trying to teach
myself by mere exploration. I am not
schooled in computer programming or computer
at all. My codes could be laughable by
thousands. But who cares. I just want to
have some fun.
For every data navigated by the data binding
controls will be searched by rs. This is
shown by the codes in blue below. For adding
and editing the codes are in white. And for
every data searched by the rs will be
correspondingly populated the datagridview
table using filter method.

VS EXPERIMENT CONTINUES
|
I don't know when I can save the added and
the edited data into the source database. I
saw programmers are yelling on the same
case. Some tried to give the solutions. Even
the Microsoft MSDN provided the codes.
Others follow and they too failed.
Mine is the free Visual Studio Community
version. I keep on wondering whether it is
deliberately design because it is free. Such
a problem never exist in VB6 which I kept
all sort of data in the remote server away
from home. While waiting for the world to
succeed I experimented with the normal adodb
and oledb stuffs. I can save, edit and
delete data easily and they were placed back
in the database.

That is the first part of the story.
In this one I have not put the search data
yet. The above codes allow me to navigate
through the database and I could see the
items in the text boxes. What I need is the
list items. To see the list of data I used
the datagridview. In Visual Studio 2015 I
can't bind the grid table with the rs data
set. So I have to make another connection
which is independent of the first one.
The text codes in yellow indicate working
with the datagridview. Whatever happens to
the cell in the datagrid needs to be
reflected in the text boxes. At the moment I
link them with the record position. If the
rs moves to record 10, the grid too will go
to record 10. When data is added or edited
by the rs, the grid needs to populate it
again.
The idea and the concept is there. The
project isn't finished yet.
Then I put a webbrowser on the form. As you
can see it is small. It may not fit the web
page. I got the codes from a website and
paste it, adding a few lines to change the
size of the page. The codes are shown below.
The declarations and the codes are in white.

ANY WOMAN IS THE SAME
Again
SR is trying to drop bomb on Rosmah but with a
somewhat skeptical head line with a question mark,
"Diamond Shopping In Hong Kong ?" You may want to
regard this article as a junk. Even if it is true
that Rosmah did the real shopping, it is something
very natural for a woman to do so. If not they won't
be any jewelry shop around the world.
One
does not have to be a Prime Minister's wife to buy
expensive jewelries. If you have a lot of money you
too will buy expensive items for someone you love.
Handbags, necklaces and diamonds are for women.
But
the problem with Najib is that the circumstances
seem to indicate that he used some illegal money for
the wife's spending. And to the eyes of the world
Najib is not a clean leader. You can try to guess
the number of foreigners who link Najib to the theft
and murder of Morais and a few other individuals. I
would guess that investors with ethics and
principles would lump Najib among the rogue leaders
of the world like Mugabe, Idi Amin and North Korean
leaders. It is their perceptions that matters, not
the veracity of the facts.
Najib
has made the whole BN government looked very corrupt
and dirty and continue to lie and deceive the
citizens and happily robbing the rakyat of their
earnings.
This
time the Malays has been written in the history of
the world as a race to be reckon with, no more as a
brown skin natives who live on trees. Phua Chu
Kang's favorite phrase is 'Dont play play .....'

NEWER MAY NOT
BE BETTER
I wasted many hours in Visual Studio 2015,
patiently experimenting with the commands
and syntax, building database projects using
various tools. It is claimed that VS is the
improvements of Visual Basic 6.
But let me tell you that it makes my life
more miserable. I will tell you why below.
look at the codes below:
Private
Sub Text1_KeyPress(Index As Integer,
KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
Text1(Index) = UCase(Text1(Index))
If Index < 17 Then Text1(Index + 1).SetFocus
If Index = 17 Then Text1(0).SetFocus
End If
End Sub
There are 17 text boxes in this project. I
used only these codes under one subroutine
to do the data entry of all the 17 items. By
pressing the Enter key ( ascii code 13 for
Enter) the cursor will jump to the
next box. The textbox can be arrayed from
textbox(0) to the last one, textbox(17), in
this case.
But for the Visual Studio 2015 I have to do
17 of such a subroutines, one for each
textbox. To make the box change color I need
two more routines.
Private Sub Text1_GotFocus(Index As Integer)
fc = Text1(Index).ForeColor
bc =
Text1(Index).BackColor
Text1(Index).ForeColor = QBColor(0)
Text1(Index).BackColor = QBColor(14)
End Sub
Private Sub Text1_LostFocus(Index As
Integer)
Text1(Index).ForeColor = fc
Text1(Index).BackColor = bc
End Sub
In the Visual Studio I have to have 51
routines to navigate through the 17 boxes
for the data entry and changing background
color. Here is what I have to do with the
newer version.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(sender As
Object, e As KeyPressEventArgs) Handles
Textbox1.Keypress
yy
= e.KeyChar = (Chr(Keys.Enter)) if yy = true
then Textbox2.Select() End If
End Sub
I told myself that newer may not be better.
Data binding is really hell in VS15 compared
to VB6. I could use dBGrid or DataGrid to
display the information with the ease of
editing. Unlike VS15 you can see all the
changes and the new added data in the tables
but you can't save it so easily. Until now I
have not found how to save the data with the
new syntax. I don't know what it is. There
isn't a code to write for the saving in the
file.
Sorry to say the Microsoft newer people are
not always better. They made life more
difficult to the other developers and the
learners. I can bet that by the time you are
good in this one, there will be another
drastic change.
With some morality I hope somebody from
Microsoft would re-instate the old VB to be
used with the new Windows Operating system.
Nevertheless new additional commands and
syntax for other new stuffs can be added.

CREEPING LIKE A TORTOISE
|
I gained 1 centimeter today after many hours
of exploring. Visual Studio 2015 is a
totally new concept. I have to chuck away
the Adodc and the datagrid controls which
failed me after many attempts to use them.
Instead I used datagridview and bindingdata
to work with the data.
I created a binding source called
BukulogdataBindingSource. Both the
datagridview and the binding navigator
access from this source. The datagridview is
the datagrid and bindingNavigator is the
Adodc control.
My main task is to search a station. In VB6
the syntax is
Adodc.recordsource="select * from bukulog
where callsign like '" & cari.text & "'" Adodc.refresh
But it is not the same in Visual Studio. I
took many hours to experiment to get the
right syntax
BukulogBindingSource.Filter="callsign like
'" & cari.text &"'"
Then I was trying to figure out how to count
the SSB, CW and FM in the list. What was
written in the Webpages were hard to
understand and too long winded. There were
codes on COUNT methods. I tried many time
but all failed me. While driving for my
lunch it came across my mind to temporary
count the longest way. When I came home I
made a subroutine for the count.
Prive sub bilang()
BukulogBindingSource.Filter="callsign like
'" & cari.text &"' and mode like 'ssb'" labe18.text=BukulogBindingSource.Count
& " - SSB"
ize="4" color="#00FFFF"> BukulogBindingSource.Filter="callsign like
'" & cari.text &"' and mode like 'cw'" label19.text=BukulogBindingSource.Count
& " - CW"
BukulogBindingSource.Filter="callsign like
'" & cari.text &"' and mode like 'fm'" label110.text=BukulogBindingSource.Count
& " - FM"
BukulogBindingSource.Filter="callsign like
'" & cari.text &"'"
End Sub
Funny I later realized that in the mode
column there are LSB and USB when I tried to
validate 9M2NZ number of contacts with me.
The total SSB+CW+FM did not match with the
total number of communications. When I
scrolled down I noticed the discrepancies.
I want to make a navigation button myself.
How to navigate the next and previous data ?
In VB6 the command is just
data1.recordset.movenext
or
data1.recordset.moveprevious.
It is not the same with VS2015. Again
another hassle before I get the correct
syntax
with bindingnavigator .movepreviousitem.performclick()
end with
But
it is fun for my age. Nothing comes easy. A
friend used to say 'no pain no gain'. Yet
there are thousands who want to be lazy and
get things without effort. They are just not
my type.

VISUAL STUDIO
2015 - THE JOURNEY IS FAR AHEAD
Microsoft
makes life difficult to computer lovers and
the programmers. All that they want is to
make money. They make old things obsolete,
construct new Windows and killed the
previous versions of their products.
It is not a progress when there is an
element of force. Visual Basic 6 was good
enough to handle monumental jobs. It
communicate well with distant servers and
keep biometric data using MySql or Access
database. It did fantastic work which marvel
the users. I was still young when working
with the old system.
At almost 70 they introduced the 64 bit
machines with 64 bit windows. And among
others they introduced Visual Studio 2015
which also contains Visual Basic. I have
Visual Studio Community 2015. It gave me the
hell lot of a problem. Projects went missing
for no reason and I have to think of a way
to keep them safely.
As I am crawling to explore how to make it
work with the VB6 command and syntax I
cannot say much more on the technical
matter. I just would like to give a few tips
who have been putting the same questions on
the web repeatedly.
First is about the FULL SCREEN SIZE. There
were many replies given. The syntax one may
want to use is
me.windowstate = 2
Secondly about loading pictures in the
picture box control. In VB6 the syntax is
PICTUREBOX=LOADPICTURE("C:\PICTUREFOLDER\....").
In Visual Sudio 2015 is
PICTUREBOX.IMAGE=IMAGE.FROMFILE("C:\.....")
Emptying it is
PICTUREBOX.IMAGE=NOTHING
Because I am working on a ham radio logbook,
I am looking into the data binding of
controls to the database. I can bind the
Oledb data control and the Data Grid
separately with the database but I can't
bind the dataGridView to the Adodc control
yet merely by giving command
DATAGRIDVIEW.DATASOURCE = ADODC1
As I have said websites do not help. There
are more questions than the answers.

MY NEXT TRIP
Several people had been telling me that
Spain-Morocco's trip were interesting
because there were many exotic buildings to
see. One or two said the panorama and the
scenery was beautiful. Convince by them I
decided to put the visit to my future plan.
A couple of days ago I browsed Poto Travel's
website. The package is already published,
traveling in April and May. I booked up the
25th April's trip via the email.
Last night I searched for the itinerary from
day one to day thirteen. Day 1 and the last
day are always the deceptive days that we
have to pay when they were only the
traveling days. Even you are in Malaysia
waiting for the flight it is considered as
one day. I saw the traveling time takes two
days.
In the most part of the trips are visiting
churches and mosques. It struck my heart
that paying a thousand ringgit per day to
see a church or a
mosque
is not worthy. I could always see photos of
those buildings. I decided to look at other
packages as well before I make the payment.
The cost for a single person staying in a
single room is RM2K more, about RM200 extra
per day. It is more expensive than the
Balkan trip.
My ASB dividend will be totally gone. But I
won't live much longer. I whispered to
myself that I am going to see the world
before I go. It breaks up
the
monotony of living a solitary life at home.
At least I don't have to think about Najib
for almost 12 days while in foreign land and
enjoy whatever fun that come before us. The
jovial group will make us laugh the whole
journey.
Already I am thinking how to go to Kuala
Lumpur; either by flight or ETS, and how to
go to the airport or the rail station. There
is no bus service in my area, not even at
the main road, unlike in USA
where
everyone is access to busses just merely by
a short walk. Malaysians won't provide
services without profit. Profit has to be
large enough as an incentive. The worst is
to drive by my old car and hope for the
best. The car does not have any commercial
value except for the scrap iron. ETS will be
at 8.15 am, arriving KL Central at 4 pm,
ample time to present myself at the airport
before 9.30 pm.
As
far as luggage is concerned it does not
worry me. I will use the existing one. I
will wash my traveling shoes instead of
buying the new pair. I have more than 10
round collar black T-shirts. Probably I will
bring 15 shirts altogether or may be more
for the dinner also. Foodstuffs will be
considered later, probably some snacks. But
to Balkan I did not bring any despite it was
in my plan.
I
always planned early for each travel. Now it
is still December and the trip will be in
almost 4 months time, on the 25th of April.
I thought that this year I want to go to
Dayton Ohio for the hamvention. The new
radio policy in the country freeze me. It is
just a matter of principle. Even if it is on
the normal tour, Donald Trump turned me off
by his
hate
speech towards the Muslims. Like many
Malaysians, the normal Americans are dumb
too, believe in things without thinking.
They are easily fooled by the product
advertisements like any dumb people. And our ringgit too shrunk so badly as the world
business community do not trust in our
leadership.
There is always a risk in traveling; plane
shot dot down or exploded in the thin air,
bus plunged into a gorge or hit by another
heavy vehicles. Try to imagine
what and how
the victims of MH370 felt before they met
their death. But we are going to die anyway.
I never fear of accidence or death by it as
it is fated by God.
As I have said before my actual travel
begins from now, each night I would bring
the dream to my bed for almost 4 months on
end.

THE WAR CONTINUES
|
I can't imagine the magnitude BN government
puts to wage cold war against Sarawak
Report. There is a colossal think tank team
and the Propaganda unit, the police force,
the army and finally the fund spent. The
ongoing tactical move is to discredit SR and
WSJ as junk media units which have nothing
other than dirty lies.
One side is trying to create a situation of
the nature and reason for Morais's death and
the other will have to huddle together to
find the rebuttals. The rest who are access
to the media listen and formed opinions.
Below is what SR writes. We have to wait
what Najib administration and the new AG is
going to say. |
|
|
As I had said before the public did not wait
for social media reports before they formed
opinions on the events and happenings. It
started with Altantuya, then Teo Beng Hock
and later PI Bala. Then the murder of an Aam
bank officer was associated with the 2.6
billion fund in Najib;s personal account.
Someone has to lie. We can't establish the
veracity just from listening to both views
though it is wise for us to know them.
Many wouldn't care at all to what is
happening to the world for all they care is
for themselves. Others may find it very
disturbing. And interestingly PAS will
forgive UMNO of any sin they do and in
particular the divine Prime Minister sent by
God; Najib Razak.

YOU CAN FOOL MOST PEOPLE MOST OF THE TIME BUT
NOT ALL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME
|
How far can Najib run and how much else can
he fool everyone ? Najib has been
institutionalized, Ismail Sabry equate him
to God the Almighty and Najib himself
claimed that he is God chosen. The team
living in the golden institution are equally
responsible and accountable for all the
misdeeds done. There is no justice for them
except for them to walk away from the
institution. Words like 'cari makan' ,
'under order' and 'under threatened' are for
God to hear in the next world. This is the
cases of history. The whole team have to be
punished.
The world investigate Najib, not only the
FBI. Even the FBI formed opinion and keep
files on the Malaysian leaderships.
Following Obama and joining the Trade Pack
will not free him. They will relate him with
Morais's murder and several other deaths
as well. It
is as good as impossible that Najib cannot
run away from his crime.
The more he pays the people to lie the more
his inner self will be exposed. European
community has discuss our affair. Najib is
putting himself into a deeper troubled
water. |
|
|
Najib could not escape by shifting the blame
on his officers as he did when he lied to
the parliament about Cayman fund. When the
truth of Morais's death emerge in front
pages of foreign newspaper, Najib cannot say
he does not know anything about the murder
as he had said about Altantuya.
We can be sure that the International
community will not blame UMNO with the
current mess. Individuals like Apandi and
Khalid will be closely observed and scrutinized.
Study their faces and you can tell
I would like to say that only good people
advice Najib to do the right things. Others
will tell him that he wrongs he did were
correct. And how could they elevate him to the level of God when he lied,
deceived, arrested those who spoke the
truth, sacked his own deputy, lied about
1Mdb and practicing corruptions ?
The problem with Najib's team is that they
think everything would have gone the ways
they wanted and that they are invincible. Najib still believe he
can buy everyone with money. And the police
too are thinking their strategies are
foolproof. They want to make sure that there
will be no arm uprising or attempt to put away some controversial leaders, by
nipping any anti-Najib individuals in the
bud. History has shown that arms from the
United States flew through the local
dissidents, in Iraq, Libya and Syria.
The time will soon come when nobody will
listen and believe Najib anymore despite his
pity and sorry facial countenance. His deeds
and his words move in opposite directions.
Rosmah has to worry about her destiny. I
simply do not believe she can escape from what
she fears the most. The mobs will not turn
to be crazy but they will go mad very. She
should take some time off to read books, on
the history of Indo-Chinese war and the past
events in the Middle-East.
Leaders of the world are not all dumb.
Najib has never set a bight and peaceful
future.

WORKING ON VB6 AND VISUAL STUDIO 2015 ON WINDOWS 10
|
I don't know how I get Trojans in my Windows
10 that will be erased automatically by an
anti virus called 360. All the exe files
that I ran were deleted. It even attacked
the Visual Studio 2015 compiled file and
finally I could not even create a project.
Yesterday I took almost the whole day
uninstalling and downloading another
software, reading blog on the trojans,
searching for a few files mentioned. I cold
not deleted the recommended files. Then I
went to open the registry searching and
erasing the lines in the registry. It was
time consuming indeed.
Today I worked on VB6, writing new simple
codes for a logbook. I used Adodc controller
rather than Adodb to bind Microsoft Access
data. I have several tasks to code; the
wildcard search, the counting of the mode of
the contacts, to add, delete and edit data.
And lastly to navigate between boxes when
typing into the them.
The search is using SELECT. But what is used
by Adodb is not exactly the sane as Adodc.
For instant
SELECT * FROM BUKULOG WHERE UCASE(CODE)
LIKE '*" & UCASE(TEXT2) & "*'"
but in the adodc the code is
SELECT * FROM BUKULOG WHERE
UCASE(CODE) LIKE '%" & UCASE(TEXT2) & "%'"
It took me some time to figure out after a
series of experiments to come to the right
query. Then it was the counting part. To
count the total number in the database is
easy but I want to count the number of SSB,
CW and FM mode of an individual station. I
had to try several queries to get the
working and the best one. I did not get the
simplest and the correct one. Finally I
decided to count three time to get the
figures. I would not say whether the codings
are appropriate as required by the system.
One of my problems is that I stopped
programming for decades and I don't remember
all the coding libraries and the commands
anymore. The internet did not help either.
Everybody is asking for help and it is
difficult to find the good solution.
Adodc1.RecordSource = "select count(MODE)as
LABELA from bukulog WHERE MODE='SSB'and
ucase(callsign) like '%" & UCase(Text2) &
"%' or ucase(name1) like '%" & UCase(Text2)
& "%'"
Adodc1.Refresh
Label16 = DataGrid1.Columns(0) & " SSB"
Adodc1.RecordSource = "select count(MODE)as
LABELA from bukulog WHERE MODE='CW'and
ucase(callsign) like '%" & UCase(Text2) &
"%' or ucase(name1) like '%" & UCase(Text2)
& "%'"
Adodc1.Refresh
Label17 = DataGrid1.Columns(0) + " CW"
Adodc1.RecordSource = "select count(MODE)as
LABELA from bukulog WHERE MODE='FM'and
ucase(callsign) like '%" & UCase(Text2) &
"%' or ucase(name1) like '%" & UCase(Text2)
& "%'"
Adodc1.Refresh
Label18 = DataGrid1.Columns(0) & " FM"
Adodc1.RecordSource = "select * from bukulog
WHERE MODE='SSB'and ucase(callsign) like '%"
& UCase(Text2) & "%' or ucase(name1) like
'%" & UCase(Text2) & "%'"
Adodc1.Refresh
Surely the above solution looks very messy.
In the meantime it does serve my purpose. It
counts the frequency of each mode used.
The edit, add and delete use what I would
call a 'street' coding. I did not place the
'OK To Delete ?' button yet.
With Adodc1.Recordset
.
Delete
End With
With Adodc1.Recordset
Adodc1.Recordset.AddNew
Text1(0) = Format(Date, "DD/MM/YYYY")
Text1(1) = Format(Time, "HH:mm")
Text1(4) = Text2
End With
These are for deleting and adding new data.
As for editing, make the correction or
changes in the boxes.
At least I could write the code on my HP
Windows 10 computer. I still have a long
time to be with programming even with the
upgrading of the Windows.

ETHNIC UNITY,
RELIGIOUS UNITY AND MALAYSIAN UNITY
We have been living happily until two types
of people came to cause turbulence in our
community. These are the politicians and the
greedy businessmen. Both poisoned the people
by inciting racial hatred, mainly to amass
popularity and wealth.
An individual throwing slur on the other
race is seen as a hero and the fighter to
save his race. We have this in Malaysia,
mainly heavily practiced by the Malays and
the Chinese. Racial sentiment is a tool to
grab wealth and property and to remain in
power.
It is true that there is a tendency for the
bird of the same feather to flock together.
But it could not be the main philosophy of a
peaceful society. There is no guarantee of
safety and joyous living within the same
ethnic community. There are robbers and
murderers, bullies and gansters.
We cannot force all the Indians to get
together as they are divided into several
caste and religious beliefs. Among them
there are cheaters, drug pushers and
Communists. So are with the Malays who are
more divided now than before. Each
individual has his own taste and likings.
There are many irritating individuals from
all the ethnic groups. Surely we cannot
shake hands with the rabbles, the crooks and
all the mischievous scoundrels.
Good personalities are not in the dress they
wear and the words they speak. We have to
have a long observations on their deeds, not
in the race and color skins, not in the
lingo they used and not in the religion they
embraced.
If it is unity that we want, we have to have
a divine purpose for the good of the big
majority if not all. Unity of good people
transcend the racial and religious bloc. It
is a Malaysian unity that we need to strive
and let all to be known as Malaysian, with
our own identity. If we defy cohesiveness
then we are sacrificing the secured and
better future.
Islam is always better then the Malays. The
former comprises of all races who have the
same identical belief. A person calling
himself Muslim must practice Islamic way of
life, free from sinful activities and the
act of corruption, lying and deceiving
people. And Islam too is not in the dress he
wears and the words he speaks.

Views
on Social Media
Comments and remarks in the social media
reflects the educational level, intelligent
and the mental-physical state of the general
people in the country. The different between
the Chinese and the Malays are very
distinct. The Malays seemed to be mislead
and dragged away from the issues. In the
case of Najib, the Chinese do not forget and
still hold tight on the movement of 1Mdb
money, Jho Lo, Najib's son-in-law, the big
debt of 1mdb, the high interest rate, the
lies about Cayman fund, the 2.6 billion kept
secret by Najib till WSJ exposure, for each
question Najib took a few months to give the
spinned reply or non at all.
The Malays, when lured to believe in Chinese
intent supremacy, will quickly forget about
the all those lies and vices.
When emotional the Malays will used the 4
letter word to Najib. The Chinese restrained
themselves though a few young robust ones
hurled some disrespect manners.
I am aware the tactical moves made by
Najib's Propaganda and War departments, the
using of foreign mercenaries to write
articles to discredit Mahathir and WSJ. PHDs
people were recruited to spread these
articles through social media. They want the
people to believe that WSJ and a few
Malaysians are lying. But many are of the
opinion that the only proof is winning in
the legal actions against WSJ and SR.
Najib can talk about his rosy economy until
he goes to sleep. While the people are
paying more and more each day. Their savings
shrink by at least 40%. The ringgit
continues to plunge. You will see some
Malays are happy paying more.
There are those who connect several deaths
to save Najib Razak. The Malays with the
simple mind would not see the relationship
and never want to think more. They are more
concern about their hardship and economy.
Hundred of thousands are jobless. They hang
on to UMNO to get jobs and bread to spare.
Nevertheless there are Malays who have clear
visions all the way and never lost track of
the main issues.
Social media do depict the minds of the
Malaysians to the world. The interested
parties are counting the number of hands
that call Najib to quit. That's what they
were doing in Syria. And Najib could never
escape if investigations show that he is
involved in Morais murder and trying to
cheat with the 2.6 billions. When the time
comes and there was the unanimous decision to
bring Najib down, there is nothing the
police and the army can do.
What happens in Syria is something
complicated. There was a split whether to
arm the rebels who want Assad down. Asad had
struggle to seek help from the world
including USA. The debate in USA was
about whether the people want Assad down or
not. And the Russian, Iran and Hezbollah
fight for Assad and the rebel group with US
arms became the IS.
Will the Pentagon in Malaysian affair ask
the same question; do the people in Malaysia
want Najib down ? Do we need to arm the
dissidents ? How bad is Najib ? How bad is
his wife ? How suppressive is the people ?
Pentagon will be gathering information,
among other things, from the views expressed
in social media in addition to the
covert fact finding mission. Najib has to
argue out that he is helping USA in fighting
terrorism and has arrested it's own citizen
on behalf of the United States. And there
will be someone who says,"Our relationship
with the nation is cordial....we need only a
new head as Malaysians want to change the
existing leader."
Najib is working hard to change the
perception of the Malaysians using all
available resources with a huge amount of
money. He first started with personal attack
on Mahathir; the corruptions and the evil
doings of his former mentor. And at the same
time trying to shift the current economic
woe on his enemies. He uses the social media
to publish the propaganda items.
More intelligent and smart rebuttals would
be found on the English media. The Malays
are a little lame in their responses. Yet
the war between the people and Najib's
administration is clear. Readers began to
recognize the comments of the Najib's cyber
troopers versus the views from the normal
public. There is an attempt to harness the
PHD graduates to help in this war.
What Najib may not expect is the more he
stands to fight the worse he does for the
economy. The inverse correlation is clear
and real. His every moves and words are
heard by the world and business community.
His accumulation of fund by heavy taxation
without the corresponding economic growth
would make our ringgit worsen.
What is our loan right now, national and
1Mdb's debt ? Are the condition recuperating
?

VISUAL STUDIO
2015 IS SICKENING ME
Visual Basic is not dead. It is alive and
well in the Visual Studio, mine 2015,
installed in Windows 10 on my cheap HP. The
structure and commands are somewhat
different. You can't use PRINT as it was in
Visual Basic 6. The LIST1.ADDITEM is now
changed to LIST1.ITEMS.ADD. Surely I
have to creep slowly to first to examine the
commands and then the structure.
One thing about this free stuff is that you
cannot compile and run on it's own. You will
have to buy them somehow. Then it says you
can run on multi-Platform; writing smart
phone and tablets application. You have to
download the third party that gives you free
license for a month. You can't even do
experiments or develop a software if you are
a beginner like me.
I think I have to tackle one by one,
starting with Visual Basic then proceed
slowly until the Android programming. I
guess I will die before the
completion. It is too much and too heavy
for the old brain.
Today I played around with array of pictures
of my grand daughters in Hong Kong. Pressing
a button successively will display the
pictures in the list. Then I added a
computation for a dipole antenna and a
multiplication table. The main target is the
database development and manipulation. I
think it would not be too difficult as it is
using the MySql data system. I have to
examine carefully on the connection method
and the data binding.
At least it keeps me busy and makes time
flies.
I sacrificed 1K for this Visual Studio and
Windows 10, which I know will soon change.
That's how Microsoft makes money. It makes
you very dependent on Windows and Window
software. Then they began to suck your blood
like a leech. Then like UMNO Bill Gate will
say, "Stay away from Windows if you don't
like our way." But when you first started to
lay trap we never thought that you plan to
torture us. So we bought and we got stuck to
it.
Men like me are plentiful in this nation of
ours. They gather knowledge by spending
money and enhance their capabilities. On the
second thought DIY and experimenters are so
much better then the cyber trooper fighting
for the evil cause.
Though Visual Studio 2015 sickened me, it
does give me some purpose.

BAD ECONOMY
UNDER NAJIB
Najib is managing a country, not a home. As
a Prime Minister and a Finance Minister he
has failed the nation economy. Yet he keeps
on telling the people that Malaysian economy
under him is strong. While the locals are
loosing their jobs, firms are moving out and
joblessness is on the raise, he set the
minimum wage rule, bring in thousands of
Banglas, increase the retirement age to 60.
As I have said the Malays are not so smart
and now greed has been part of them they
keep on pressuring for the higher minimum
wage. Certainly it is a selfish though for
their own benefit without thinking of the
affect to the nation and the other
Malaysians.
Employers do not like to pay high salaries.
The cost of productions will go high and
will push the product prices up, facing
stiff competition in the global market.
Industries in USA prefer to move to
countries where labor is cheap. China and
Vietnam provide very tempting attractions.
Factories once operated in Malaysia are
slowly moving out of the country to the
neighboring state where labor cost is below
us. And local businesses prefer foreign
workers. That's never good to the country.
It is also pushing the locals to be
potential criminals.
The young people are jobless because the old
workers do not vacate their posts as their
retirement age has been raised to 60. There
is a 5 year wait. In the meantime, Najib collected cash from
all walks of life, not
to create jobs but trying to pay the BR!M
and the colossal national debt.
I don't know how many Malays have the
foresight and the insight to see the whole
chaotic atmosphere caused by Najib's administration.
It is a pity that those who had given blind
support to Najib are
facing perpetual sufferings. There are many
institutions that are set to close down.
Najib has struggle to put up the ringgit and
the economy to the right footing. Then he
came up with the idea of perception. We are
saying the foreigners who are dealing with
the country are all stupid and do not know
how to judge words and behaviors. Do you
think they believe in the donation stories ?
What more if the story itself is dancing
from spot to spot; donation from the Arab
nation to fight ISIS, donation from an
individual donor, and now donation from
several Arab individuals.
If I am an honest investor, I would quickly
run away before anything happen to my money.
They would find Najib a bad taste for them
to deal with.
Najib should be told that the Malayans are
also observing to see the link between him
and the death of Morais and PI Bala. There
are big eyes closely watching him. He has
all the power and guns with him and would go
scot-free with any juggling on display. How
long can he lie and cheat the people ?
The more Najib talked on economy, the more
anxiety the public got. Anybody can talk and
say anything. You go to Tanjung Rambutan and
listen to the inmates speech. People want
the cost of living down, lesser burden on
the family and economic security. He tried
to tow Obama's line hoping for better
ringgit and improve economy. He did
not even know what Mosanto is and how it
operates. He does not really know who
Goldman Sach is. He stays mum on Jho Lo and
his son in law.

MALAY
MENTALITY 2
What I am about to write does not
contain the whole truth. Some of the Malays
have transformed themselves and began to
realize the folly of their own kinds. It was
generally true to most and most of the time.
The British once described the Malays as
emotional brown skinned tribe who live on
trees. They had rule Malaya from 1874 until
1957 and long enough to understand the
ethnic group. For most of the time the
relationship with the Malays were good. When
they were about to leave. among other thing,
they created Malay reserve land because they
know without the act the Malays will sell
all their land for the joy of living and
lead an easy and gorgeous life. When that
happen there will be homelessness,
landlessness and they will be living in
ghastly poverty.
Even before UMNO tore up the protective
status of the Malay reserve the Malays began
to sell their land and moved away. Imagine
in Alor Setar there is a small mosque in an
area where there is no Malay at all. Now the
mosque has turned into a part of
super-market.
Once, laziness was associated with the
Malays. They prefer free things, idle life
without working. In schools they would
choose courses that do not provide them much
challenge. When I wanted to take Statistical
Research as a subject. friends discouraged
me saying 90% of those taking the paper got
an E. Even today additional mathematics is
not taught in Vocational Colleges. The
Chinese would go for the harder subjects
pertaining to sciences and technology.
When the Malay parents came to see me and
wanted their sons with good grades to join
the vocational school, I had a tough time
explaining that it would be better for the
kids to stay in pure science class at their
respective schools. The spectrum of
professions is larger. Despite the
information they insisted on vocational
education.
It was during Mahathir's era when there was
an amendment to the land acquisition act.
Malay land can be forcibly taken for
economic development. There was a rush in
land grabbing. Padi fields and other
Malay reserved were taken for the reason of
economic progress. Some Malays said they
were cheated and their land were bought by
government Islamic body at a low price and
sold to the developer at the high price.
There were a group of Malays working for big
time Towkeys who went round to look for land
owners offering good price for their
properties. Many Malays found that they had
a chance to be millionaires, and selling
spree began.
Land lost never came back. Money soon went
dry. Some can last till second generations.
Other Malays found they can't afford to buy
the new home built on the land their peers
sold. No normal Malay can buy a half to a
million dollar abode. Those who can, won't
have land to rear a duck and plant a tomato.
I talked to several Malays and many said the
future is not for them to see. They won't
live to see their children and grand
children. God will provide their posterity
with home and food. And they made fun of you
when you spoke to them about their future.
The
present era marks the interactions between
greed and stupidity. The Malays are on the
stupid side, among whom there lay the
greedy land-owners, and the greedy stupid
politicians who find tremendous joy in
bluffing and cheating, threatening and
misusing their powers. The funny thing is
they themselves made statements on the
inability of the Malays to buy a home. Then
they said that without UMNO the Malays will
be nothing and nobody.
Then they said the Malays have not achieved
the 30% target yet from the absolute success
of UMNO in enhancing the Malay economy.
I am confused. Are the Malays wealthy today
made by the Malay party ? Then why billions
are spent on BR1M for the poor; and mostly
the Malays ? And how come the Malays become
drug addicts, robbers, prostitutes and
garbage hunters under UMNO ?
Today it is a tragedy that Najib is a Prime
Minister. He bought all races with money to
keep himself in power. He ruins the economy,
putting more burden on the country by his
huge loan. He bought a special aircraft that
other PM did not, made Rosmah the queen of
the queens, flying the jets not for her. The
lie about 2.6 billion changed from time to
time. He cheated all the UMNO people,
everyone of them and get away with his 2.6
billions.
In the end the poor Malays have to pay for
his avarice. The jobless, the beggars, the
garbage hunters and the low income people
are taxed as much as the rich people do. The
young jobless youths whose income from BR1M
would throw stones at busses and cars
passing the highway, doing mischief against
the opposition party during elections, and a
few sneaked into the Cyber-trooper job. They
forget that they are paying the tax that was
not suppose for them.
There are more than 20000 graduates without
job. And nobody seem to publish the number
of dropout youths who have lost the moral
values, and made drugs their companions.
While the youths are at the low ebb the
leaders are making millions; gift from the
Prime Minister for showing undivided support
to him.
Ku Nan was shocked to see the number of
vagabonds on the city street. All the time
he and the other UMNO top leaders have been
saying Malaysia is superb in managing it's
economy.
Despite all the noise, hurling of hateful
words, but when come to voting they would go for BN. It is the combination of docility and
stupidity. The extreme one. They led their
leaders bury them alive. They never want to
try to escape and be defiance towards
cruelty.
Now Najib comes up with a story that he is
God chosen. And someone responded, "Bush was
God chosen to kill thousands of innocent
people...Natenyahu was God chosen to kill
the Palestinians..."

MALAY
MENTALITY 1
I was posted to another school, my last
school where I retired with sorrow and
sadness. It was a school that emphasized on
games and sports. The academic achievements
in the public examination was almost at the
bottom of the list. The physical facets hurt
as glasses and window panes broke by the
hundreds and naked as seen by the passers
by. The scene was disheartening.
I found that many boys were not attending
classes as they were housed in a hostel
about 6 miles away. They were soccer
boys so called. The sports teacher
told me that the boys were to play
soccer, and the school was a feeder to the
state team. When they leave school they
would be in the state team.
In my mind it was not at all a good idea.
The school could ruin the future of the
students who would leave without academic
certification nor any technical skill with
them. Their lives in soccer would be short.
Working with the government and other
institution could take them till the age of
55 or higher. In soccer their carrier will
end at 35 the most. If they have permanent
injury they would be out even at the age
below 23. They cannot all be Lionel Messi or
Ronaldo.
The sport teacher argued otherwise, that
they could be accepted into universities and
sports colleges. How could they enter those
colleges without a pass in SPM or MCE ? Our
relationship became sour.
I also had problem with a parent whose son
was chosen to go to Korea for a tournament.
The son was to seat for SRP/LCE examination
in a couple of months time. I explained to
the parent about the exam, extra class and
free tuition. The son would lose all the
academic benefit if he left for training and
the trip. The parent said the Malaysia
contingent has a study program for players
like his son. He chose Korea. Would I blame
him ?
Today, at still a young age big names in
state soccer aren't there anymore. They are
not even listed in other state team. I
really don't know where they are.
Don't the state education department, the
Ministry of education and the UMNO division
ever thought about the future of these kids
? We can't exploit the kids for our own
glory and satisfaction and do not plan for
their bleak future.
If those are from the wealthy class then
education could be thrown out. Certificates
and diplomas are not important. Schools can
allow them to practice soccer without
attending classes.
We never want to know what happen to our
athletes and soccer players after their
services were over. The glory of being a
champion was short and over but the life of
those who brought us the glory was their
life-time. We have a Minister in charge of
sports and games. We have a huge population
in the country. Our faces are looking only
in a single direction.
We are very selfish and arrogance. We care
of only our own glory at the expense of the
others. Surely enough most of them are happy
with their views and thinking.

NEW SANCTUARY
ON HAMMING
Many of us cut the wires ourselves for a
dipole when we began hamming. I remember in
the Radio Amateur Examination we were asked
to design a dipole antenna and describe the
antenna. I don't remember anyone having discussion
on BALUN then. There was no computer and no
internet yet in those days.
A ham should know how to build an antenna
and operate a radio. Tuning Yaesu FT101 was
not easy. Mistakes would blow the costly
final. It was a hustle looking for the
tubes.
It would be a puzzle if someone who can tell
you about every antenna in the world would
call others to construct a dipole for him
and would not know to tune a transceiver. It
is his vanity that deter him from telling
the others his antenna was done by his
friend, instead he claimed that it was from
his own hands.
N6TT - A great CW operator.
Communication skill, demeanor and ethics are
essential characteristics of a ham. Yet we
heard them on the CW-only portion, calling
CQ right on stations having conversations
and used the pirate and CB procedure and
practices. I read that someone who was
trying to pinpoint the right things was
attacked, portraying their tall behaviors.
Manners and discipline was nothing to them.
I decide to look for a new sanctuary, a
pollution-free space, where descent people
gather and puddle. But it is almost
difficult to find one. There will be bound
for a ham who thinks he can do and say
anything anyway on the band. He does not
know they were wrong and the rest are not
bold enough to correct him.
When you start you can always start with a
dipole made by your own hands, put it up by
yourselves and feel the degree of
excitement. You save money and would feel
very great when your signal could be heard
across the world. If you are wealthy you can
plan for the better future using tower and
super duper antenna system purchased from
the internet.
As a ham it is good to know and understand
the LC series and parallel. It facilitates
the design of your own traps.
As far as ethics and attitudes are concerned
the whole responsibility is under the
authority. Whatever happened on the band
reflect the image of the MCMC unless it chooses
to dispel any poor perception of the country
like the politicians who do know what shames
are. Someone asked me whether the MCMC
monitors the activities on the band. My
answer was even if they did they would not
know what is right and what is wrong.
Many prefer to stay mum and avoid any form
of confrontation. A few jumped to Whatupp
and formed Senior Ham group. Some ran to
find a new sanctuary. In the West many find
shade in the Morse portion and pounding
their keys days and nights. There is no
point waging wars and throwing insults. Just
move away where there is no 'roger' and no
'contact...contact...' and nobody comes to
call CQ on top of your friend.
The application of political mentality is
real here "...if you don't like this country
go and stay somewhere else..."

MY FIRST QSO
ON 80 METER BAND
I never have space for 80 meter antenna if I
am talking of a dipole. And 80 meter is not
in my log book. From the beginning I had
been using a 40 meter dipole to work 20 and
15, assisted by Leader LAC-895. For the last
few years I put up a G5RV junior to replace
the normal inverted V.
Recently I met 9M2YR, Harun, during a feast
at 9M2GET's house. He was telling me that
there are few hams on 3.855 every morning
after the morning prayer. I expressed my
sadness that I could not erect any 80 meter
dipole due to the space constrain. 6"
diameter magnetic loop was what had been in
my mind for quite some time.
The conversation did not end there. When I
came home, I started to cut two pieces of
wires about 20' long each, rolling a coil on
half inch PVC pipe, merely to shorten it and
joined each side to the end of my G5RV. I
knew it was not proper and not scientific. I
just wanted to try it to see whether my
signal could go out.
True it was not a proper one. SWR adjustment
is very critical. I could tune to 1.5 to 1.
There was a heavy noise on my YAESU 857
which I would think because of it's
improperiety. It was not resonance and was
not loading well. My aim was just to get
about 20 watts out, with low SWR, so that I
work on CW.
I figure I would not have problem with all
other band like 10, 15 and 40.
I waited till this morning, 07/12/2015, to
test it. I heard several stations on 3.855.
The strongest were from 9M2ZS and 9M2YRS. I
could copy the rest 5/9. I waited towards
the end of their communications and broke
in. Harun and Rashid were still there. When
Pak Yop asked "QRZ ? 9M2A ?? " I get
excited. I had to repeat several time until
he said he could read me. Harun said he
copied me 5/9 with a muffle audio. To me it
was more than enough.
I have no intention of doing anything to my
antenna. In the near future I will try to
push more power out. I think 50 watts would
be sufficient to work stations nearby, who
could read me without any strain.
I hope to find some peace on 80 and I am
glad that today is the first time that I
work on this band.

THE FOLLY OR
THE DILEMMA ?
I waited twelve months to get a dividend of
10K, twelve long month, with full of rosy
dream. To an elderly like me it is a big
sum. I used to buy chocolate costing one
cent. How many things can I buy with the
money today ?
I went to stalls where numerous smart phones
are sold. It shocked me to see a small
gadget as big as my palm is tagged at 3K
plus. I just shrugged my head. It is a
quarter of three months of waiting.
I browsed the Apple website to see the price
of a Macbook. It almost stopped my heart to
see it was tagged at more than 7K. In fact
everything is expensive nowadays.
The cause of diminishing money value is
nothing more other than Najib Razak who
insists that he is not the problem. What
happens on the ground is the opposite of
what he tells the people. When Najib and his
ministers say price down it
means price up. He would pay
everyone else and the JKK and the Felda
people in exchange for the obedient to him.
They would forget what they will be bearing
in years to come. They would not care two
cents what will happen to the rest of the
Malays.
Already there are voices who called
Najib a dictator.
It even comes from UMNO members. There is
not even democracy in parliament. The real
votes must use hand- counts not using
ballots. Paper votes are secrets and the
speaker will always announce in the favor of
Najib whichever the results are.
Najib wants people to bear for his errors.
He would used soothing words and tons of
promises again. And the Malays, especially
would vote for BN again. Is it not a folly
for them to do so ? You will hear these
people howling and lamenting of the hardship
they face.
"Why do you vote for BN ? " One may ask. "I
have no choice. I can't vote the Chinese
party who wants to take this country and who
is anti-Islam." True indeed that DAP has
been vocal against Hudud. That's the main
reason why Hadi will never forgive DAP. To
majority of the Malays religion is the
utmost important. They prefer to live in
hardship under a Muslim rather than
submitting themselves to the anti-Islamic
government.
The Malays are in dilemma.
The new national security law will end the
freedom of speech and expression. Those
taking to the street will be arrested. Those
who criticize Rosmah and Najib will be
arrested too. The citizens cannot appeal to
USA or China because there are similar law
in those nations.
The only source of appeal is God. God has
promised hell to those cruel leaders. They
have to wait for a long time to see the
dictators in hell. The cry for fast
retribution is mysterious and unknown. Some
could quickly be seen and some may not.
Mahathir is now suffering in the hand of the
man whom he made a King. The past people in
Mahathir's era are saying Mahathir deserve
the treatment as it is God's worldly
retribution on him.
The Malays are not smart and intelligent
enough to organize themselves by going
underground. They won't do it as long as
there have food to eat and money to spend.
If they can't foresee the future of the
nation, they won't be any urge to fight and
revolt. They have been on the losing side
beginning after the independence until now.
Each day they become alien in their own
country, homeless and landless. They become
addicts and thieves and garbage
hunters.

ADJUST TO
BAD WEATHER
We cannot have all things come our way. The
daily evening walk has been disrupted by
heavy rain at about 5 or 6 pm. Walkers and
joggers brave themselves using umbrella,
raincoats or nothing. I have an umbrella in
my car, not to bring it to walk in the rain
but to use it when it rains during walking.
Sun seemed to be almost on top of our head
at the arena. Dark clouds had been creeping
quietly from the East, slowly darkening the
sky within one or one and half hours later.
I did take note of the timing. And changed
my time to 4 pm or a little earlier. On most
of the days I could escape the harassment of
the weather.
I do not spend a few hours like many others
who would complete 10 or 30 kilometer jog.
They would start at 5 and end at 7 or 7.30
pm. I go by round. Inside track is shorter
then the outside, I would do the total of 4
rounds on any. Sometimes I combined both.
I
have to keep fit because I am taking care of
myself. If I fall sick nobody is going to
attend me. I still move swiftly like young
men at the age of 68. Medically I am
categorized as sickly and must consume
medicine to live.
I would prefer the walk beginning at 5 or
5.30, while the sun is receding westwards
and the cool breeze is blowing. But we can't
have everything coming our way as splendid
as we want to. We have to adjust ourselves
to fit the changes and the environments. So
far nature has been very kind to us. We
did not get the fury of the mud flood or
unexpected flash rush of massive water.
The fact is people still go despite the
rainy hours though the number is much
smaller. The old couple who would be there
at the usual 5.30 would always stay away on
the rainy days. The hawkers would pack and
ready to go home as soon as the downpour
started.
Several men quipped the same phrase that
they go down early to beat the evening
downpour. I saw people as early as 3 pm
using the inner circuit which is absolutely
shady. The park is reasonably good but not
as good as the ones we saw in Bosnia and
Croatia.
I do not trace effort to elevate it to the
international level by the local authority.

IT IS ALL
CIRCUMSTANTIAL
When PI
Bala was claimed dead owing to the heart
attack it already created doubt in people's
mind about his death. People started talking
of the death, suspicious of the foul play.
It was about the protection of Najib. But it
was at a skeptical stage. Nobody said
anything in the open.
While
Najib was consolidating his power and the
raiding on the DPP office was made,
another murder happened soon after.
Immediately, it struck my mind that it was the work
of a gangster under the patronage of Zahid
Hamidi. I guessed it was due to the charge
sheet. Ghani Patail knew about it and it was
a warning that the same fate would befell
him. It was only a wild conjecture, swirling
in my mind.
From the
feedback in the social media, I found
numerous others had the same suspicion
pointing the murder to UMNO leadership
without naming anyone. They even warned Zetty to
be more careful for she could be killed like
Altantuya. Her life was feared to be in
peril too.
It is
obvious that people would start questioning
and thinking when death and murder had taken
place. In the case of Morais it was about
the charge sheet that Najib has been denying
even before his death. It is too good to be true
for Ghani to issue an arrest warrant.
Probably he may have issued it but the
police was Najib's right hand warrior. As a
result Ghani was sacked.
A few
hundred thousands might have thought in a
similar pattern shaped by the circumstantial
events. Now, Charles Morais, exposed the
probable death has something to do with the
charge sheet.
I would
expect the Malaysian police will hunt
Charles and killed him like his brother.
If it is
so then 1Mdb is not only about stealing
money, it is also about murder. Najib has to
hold to his post at whatever cost it takes
or else he has to face the unruly mob or the
more decent court of law.
But what
may be circumstantial may not be true. We
cannot make the final judgment merely base
on the circumstances. You can read the
Sarawak report as published below but you
must not conclude it is talking of the true
things. Someone has to be a liar. But who ?
Kevin Morais Drew Up
The Charge Sheet Against Najib And Later
Leaked It To Sarawak Report, Says Brother
In
his
statutory
declaration
the brother of murdered Kevin Morais
yesterday confirmed he was the
public prosecutor tasked to
investigate Prime Minister Najib
Razak over money misappropriated
from the 1MDB related company SRC
International.
Charles Morais told reporters that
he did not believe for a moment that
the motive for kidnapping and
strangling his brother was that he
was acting as the prosecutor in a
separate bribery case, for which
several men face trial.
In
his view it was because Kevin had
been responsible for drafting charge
sheets against Najib Razak and that
he had then sent copies of those
charge sheets to Sarawak Report the
day after the Prime Minister had
pre-empted his own arrest by sacking
the Attorney General and several
members of his government.
|
Kevin Morais
was kidnapped and murdered |
Worse,
Kevin (if indeed it was he) had indicated to
Sarawak Report that he had more such
material and was ready to reveal it. It was
for these reasons, Charles Morais indicated,
that he had been demanding a second
post-mortem on his brother, in order to gain
further information on the circumstances
surrounding his death.
“I do
not for one moment believe Kevin was
killed because he was prosecuting a
Government Pathologist for corruption.
This accused doctor is intelligent
enough to realize that getting rid of
the DPP prosecuting his case will not
emasculate the charge he is facing for
the simple reason there are many other
DPPs who would take over that
prosecution.
Kevin
was killed for other reasons and I
believe these other motives were due to
the fact that he knew too much about the
criminal acts of those high up in the
echelons of power in Malaysia and he
needed to be silenced because of that.”
[Statutory Declaration of Charles Morais]
If the
charge sheets were not genuine why did Najib
mount his coup against a purported
‘conspiracy’?
It is
known that on 28th July Najib Razak took
concerted action to pre-empt what has been
described as a ‘conspiracy’ against him.
Sarawak Report has heard from several
sources that this was the morning that
charges were du
Unconstitutionally removed – Kevin Morais’s former boss the
Attorney General Gani Pataile to
be laid against him relating to
money taken from 1MDB related
companies.
|
In
particular, Special Branch personnel
were waiting for the Attorney
General at his office. These armed
forces prevented the country’s top
law officer from entering or
clearing his own desk before forcing
him under escort to return home.
The
Prime Minister then announced that
Gani Patail had retired on ‘grounds
of health’ – an act that violated
the constitution.
During the same coup on 28th July
Najib removed several other senior
politicians, law officers and civil
servants who had expressed disquiet
over monies removed from 1MDB and
the public pension fund KWAP.Raids
were also conducted to remove papers
from the Attorney General’s office
and related investigations: the
staff concerned were arrested,
intimidated and then sacked. There
was a sweep on all documents – even
a fire in the white collar crimes
unit of Bukit Aman police station
the next day, which it is assumed
saw the disappearance of material
related to the investigations into
1MDB. |
But the
apparent efforts to eliminate the evidence
failed. The following day Sarawak Report
received an email, which said “This is
the reason why Gani Patail was removed as
AG”. Attached were the charge sheets.
Following
investigations to determine the authenticity
of the documents, Sarawak Report then
published them.
Sarawak
Report established the drafts were
genuine
The
receipt of these draft
charge sheets
destroyed what had been an attempt to cover
up the entire episode and it was plain that
there was further evidence that might also
come to light.
The furious
response against Sarawak Report, including
banning the site, issuing a warrant for the
arrest of the Editor and (unsuccessfully)
requesting Interpol to put out a Red Notice,
showed just how sensitive the matter was.
At first the
official line of the Prime Minister’s men
was that the charge sheets were “faked” or
“forged”. However, later Ministers
acknowledged
that the Prime Minister had indeed taken
“drastic action” to “take out” people
involved in a “plot to criminalise the Prime
Minister” of which the charge sheet was
allegedly a part.
Indeed, if
the charge sheet had not been genuine then
what was the “plot”?
“I am not sure if we’ll be able to
stop this lunacy”
Charles
Morais has now disclosed that he believes
that the person who responded to the sacking
of his boss, the AG, and the closure of the
investigation into the money transferred
from SRC International by leaking the charge
sheets was his brother.
He
cites several reasons
for his view,
but what is confirmed is that Kevin Morais
was indeed a member of a small team of
people working on the 1MDB investigation in
the Attorney General’s department. Just a
few weeks previously he had been brought
back into the AG’s Department from the
Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission to
handle the sensitive case.
Sarawak
Report corresponded extensively with the
source of the material at the time, who
explained their reasons for releasing the
charge sheets:
“The
police continue to be rather aggressive
in trying to uncover the sources of the
leaks. And not actually trying to nab
the lunatic on top of the pyramid,
running this country to the ground just
so his arse is saved… and I’m not sure
if we’ll be able to stop this lunacy.”
was what
the source told Sarawak Report about his
motives. Charles believes this was his
brother Kevin.
New
Attorney General Was Desperate To Cremate
Morais
Najib’s chosen
replacement – why was Apandi lobbying
and conniving to destroy Kevin’s body in
advance of an independent post mortem? |
This state of
affairs leaves powerful questions over why
Charles Morais, who was officially
responsible for his brother’s affairs, was
put under so much official pressure to
cremate the body when he had asked for a
second post-mortem?
Charles, who has
now left Malaysia for the United States, had
earlier told Sarawak Report that he was
harangued by Kevin’s former employers at the
AG’s office to immediately dispose of the
body, when such a matter was not their
normal concern.
Speaking last month
he said that he had been rung by the AG’s
office at least ten times and asked to take
the body |
from
the hospital morgue for instant
cremation. This was even before an
autopsy report had been produced to
explain the cause of death.
Charles was further
affronted when the new Attorney General
approached the surviving brothers personally
with a supposed ‘golden handshake’ of
RM580,000 for the loss of Kevin, in return
for signing a closure document.
He says he refused
what he considered to be blood money, but
that the brother, who eventually removed the
body and cremated it last week behind the
family’s back, had been willing to do the
deal.
The Attorney
General’s Office ought now therefore explain
exactly why the family of their former
employee was put under such pressure by the
new man in charge?
Why did this
government department interfere and oppose a
second post-mortem and why did its officials
plainly connive, according to the evidence
presented with Charles’s statutory
declaration, with a separate brother who had
no legal authority to secretly remove and
burn the body?
|
Brother Richard
Morais illegitimately removed the body
from the hospital morgue with apparent
support from the authorities |
Once again murder
and cover-up are travelling hand and hand it
seems in the corridors of power in Malaysia.

LEARNING
AT 68
Learning English at 68 is really tough. I
don't go to English class nor find a tutor
for myself. I use the ebook on the smart
phone, downloading stories written by
authors of the 16th or 17th century because
they are free. I need to pay for the new
novels.
I do not read the e-book everyday at home. I
read it while I was eating out especially at
the fast food restaurant. Fancy me, how
could I learn anything at all within the
short period. And I have to refer to the
e-dictionary for every paragraph. There are
words that I did not know the meaning, at
least one in each paragraph. Not all words
could be found.
Today I learn a new word. Tomorrow I would
forget it. I could not even recall what were
the words that I came across. I bought a
notepad and jotted the words down.
What profit do I get at learning English at
this age ? Material wise, nothing. Spiritual
wise I feel satisfied, fulfilling. It
compensated my lazy days for more than 50
years. I would not be as what I am now if I
were a hardworking student. I hated
schooling then.
May be it creates confidence in me that
allows me to write my blog in this language.
Learning at 68 is hard not only for language
but for anything at all. There is an
inevitable deterioration of body metabolism,
mental and physical. What I used to do in 15
minutes during the younger days will take me
hours to complete now.
I am forced to keep my mind alert,
activating it by writing politics and
rebuttal Pro-Najib argument, and deciphering
high speed Morse codes. Evening exercise is
imperative for the same reason.
Despite the effort my memory is still bad. I
could remember some words easier by
associating them with some personalities
like Najib or Zahid, and some friends with
special characters. I would remember the
words swagger, vanity and ostentatious
because I have a friend with such a
character. I would associate Najib with
crafty, cunning and shrewd. I have not
formed any word yet to describe Rosmah
Mansor nor Mahathir.
However I am still of the view that Malay
must be made a National Language of this
country while making a pass in English is
compulsory. Japanese and Chinese leaders
spoke using their own languages at the
international forum. That did not make them
or their countries going back to un-civilize
era. Even our Thai neighbor has overtook us
leap and bound in economic and technological
progress. China started to print paper bag
cheap books on science and technology since
early '60s.
In this country the problem does not lie
with the language but with the attitudes.
Generally in the past, the Malays are lazy
to improve themselves and want things come
in simple ways or possibly free. They have
poorer insight as compared to the other
ethnic groups. Year in and year out the same
Malay party are lamenting on the position
and condition of the Malays, blaming the
other races for their failures. What ethics
have the Malays on matter of hard work and
the pursue of new knowledge ?
Humour
One person's joke
might be another's insult, so try to
keep it SFW and FF please, but also
understand that some people find things
funny that you might not. So, keep it
fluffy or Laika will rip it up and throw
it round the garden. (The fate of many
rubbish bags in our house.)
National programs and progress depend on the
assured votes. BN cares more on the promised
votes rather than achieving national goals.
Najib cares to save himself rather than the
unity of UMNO.
When Najib is hated then whatever that
belongs to Najib will be hated too; his
language, his religion and his ideas. When
Keruak, Rahman, Pandikar, IGP and Apandi are
hated, they will hate the Malay race as
well. There will be distrust among the
Malays.
English is the issue because of social and
political hatred. Part of it rose from the
attitudes implanted and endorsed by the
government policy. In area of education we
have undergone failures after failures.
Other languages introduced in primary
schools do not achieve it's goal. I have yet
to find a student taking Mandarin who can
converse in the language, nor Arabic. It is
failed by the procedure and the attitude of
the teachers and the parents. The conveyance
factor, the methodology of teaching and the
examination system are the culprits.
You are not going to jump into a rotten
system, are you ? We have to be independent
and decide on our own of what we want to do.
Some Malays decide to send their children to
religious school until standard 6. They made
their own free choice. The Chinese and the
Indians have their own vernacular schools.
We used to have English schools. Then we
closed them down as if with the running of
the English school system we cannot push
Bahasa Melayu as a national language.
Recently 23 persons including me made a trip
to Balkan. It was an English tour. Men and
women, old and young, could converse in
English very proficiently. Since our return
we still communicate using English. We did
not talk about turning our hair grey
or about Jesus Christ, but we were talking
about Islam, prayer and our Holly Prophet.
Thanks to the internet and the Project
Guttenberg for free novels and stories. I
can live without amateur radio but I would
go crazy without the cyber technology.

RETURN TO
NORMALCY
When PAC, the AG, the cop and all others are
lumped as one called Najib the animosity
will remain. The Ministers are of the habits
of quoting 'the court says this...the PAC
says that....' when the public just shrugged
those words, dismissed them with anger. From
the social media we gather that people were
saying that PI Bala and Morais were killed
by the protege of Najib. Charles was quickly
ushered back to the United States for his
own safety. Even once several readers warned
Zetty to be careful so as not to face the
fate of Morais.
Some
believe Rosmah is running the nation.
The authority always asked for proofs. No
amount of money and effort can erase the
perception in the minds of millions of
Malaysians. Independent individuals who do
not depend on the government for their
payroll would not easily be tamed. Would you
know what they are thinking of Zahid and
Najib and the police ?
THere were several versions for Maris death
It is not that the police do not know the
real situation. They realized of the
increasing tension that there is a fear of
arms violent against our leaders. A Minister
had said that his name is in the IS hit
list. I don't believe there is a real IS
group in this country. If there are havoc
and chaos would have already happened. Syria
and Iraq is too far from here and no arm can
find their way into this country.
Malaysians have always been very peaceful.
The Malays are docile and obedient,
respecting the elderly, their leaders and
headmen and the religious figures. Who would
expect them to raise against the Malay
leaders themselves ?
Do the public need to be smart to know that
Najib has failed ? They are paying more
everyday. Investors are running out. Ringgit
never revive. With Rosmah-Obama embracement
the riggit remain sickly. WSJ continues to
publish the wrongdoings of Najib. It is so
convincing that it could influence the rest
of the world. It would probably air the
story of Morais murder, punishing him for
the charge sheet. TPP and hundred Obamas
will not recuperate our economic illness.
Instead people will be worse off with the
Trade Pact.
Happy and peaceful Malaysians
Is collecting money from the citizen could
pay off the 1Mdb's debt ? Taxing people is
not part of National Income, not even
considered as GDP. We need to increase our
export and get foreign money to enrich our
treasury.
UMNO took a very long time to know that the
Malays are facing great challenges. It is
blaming DAP and the Chinese for it's own
failures. They thought the Malays are as
wealthy as they are, able to buy land and
houses easily, getting millions each day for
being Malays. The Ministers enjoy the
cool air in their air-conditioning room, fly
luxuriously on private jets and going
shopping all over the world. From the cosy
office they called upon the flat dwellers to
plant vegetables and grow foodstuffs to beat
inflation.
Arresting and murdering dissidents is
pushing the country away from peace and
stability. On top the sea is seen to be
calm. The bacteria is dormant under the
skin. At the same time some appeal to the
President of the United States and China to
halt persecution and oppression. While
the police is sending heavy forces covertly
to sniff around for any viscous underground movements.,
spying the Friday sermons and other
religious gatherings.
If the police is so concerned about the
tranquility of the country, the job is
extremely easy. Just ask Najib to retire and
Mahyuddin takes care of the country. The
Malays will surely get back to UMNO and the
tension would be erased and dissipated. Our
ringgit will become normal again. Investors
would be flowing in. We would return to
normalcy as years before Najib and Mahathir.

1MDB POWER
INVESTMENT
Since 2010 alternative energy which replaced
the fossil fuel has been in the market. We
have not heard the detailed type and system
of the power source the 1Mdb is investing
on. A wrong step. A wrong move would put
Najib in difficult position and the
Malaysians will be suffering in the hand of
legalized robbers.
The new system of energy source was invented
by an ethnic Indian, Sridhar, who is living in the
United States. He created a fuel cell
starting from sands and injected oxygen and
a kind of fuel in the cell.
A small Bloom Box could power a home and the
price will be low and affordable. Countries
that legalize the use of alternative energy
will not depend on hydro-electricity or
fossil fuel. If Najib invest in the old
power plant, it will surely be a suicide
attempt. The selling of Edra to China may be
a loss but it is better to lose a few
billions than the whole sums.
We may not be able to produce the
bloom box
energy but we can always go for Keshe's for
the benefit of the citizens not for a
company run by Najib. At the same time
we are making openings to our genius and
smart posterity. We can be more stabilized
and live more peacefully if the UMNO and
other political leaders cut their greed off.
We would want to know the total picture of
1Mdb investment particularly in power
electricity to assess the nature of
recklessness in the spending. The suspicion
of dishonesty is when the company under
Najib is experiencing a great lost which
taxed the people by a great deal. Malaysians
are now sufferings. Najib and his Ministers
are committing sins day by day, lying to the
people.

THE PURSUE OF
NEW TECHNOLOGY
I don't make a point to monitor local
stations on 40 meter band. There is no
radio left except for a couple of newly
bought transistor receivers to be used as a tone
oscillator and daily experimental work. I
have zero knowledge on band activities.
Occasionally I glimpsed through the
postings on the Facebook on ham radio but
did not pay attention to them. I don't want
to know on whatever is happening, good or bad.
It is my desire that nobody will tell me anything at all
about them either through the phone, computer or
an eyeball particularly on the garbage side.
There is still a link between me and ham
radio. From time to time I would go to Websdr.org to listen to CW
rag-chew while having a siesta, enjoying the
mental deciphering of the codes with my eyes
closed. More often than not I would fall asleep on the lazy
chair while listening. It allowed me to breath
fresh air without any pollution.
Hams are welcome to my abode. But let
us not discuss anything on ham radio
or about the current events
surrounding the hobby. I would be very happy
if someone is interested in Free Energy
stuffs and is ready to pursue the topic. We can differ in political beliefs.
You may be a brother of Rosmah Mansor, my
door is ever open to you. I believe that we
should altogether start in investigating the
new boundary of sciences.
If we have enough strong, ethical and
discipline people in a team
with some bright ideas we could form a club,
make some working papers on it and ask for
federal
funding. I foresee a lot of hard work and
lot of money for the initial stage, not for
the equipments and machines but for lobbying
the Federal Government.
If you are interested in nothing else but
only radio then I don't see how we can tie
any cordial relationship.
Right now I am fully occupied with finding a
more detail information on the new frontier.
It is believed the so called new-sciences had
been a practiced by the ancient people, on
electricity and levitation and the quantum
science of space and galaxies. Not all
knowledge are permitted to find free space
on the internet. They are banned by US and
Israel government. We have to do plenty of
experiments and derive knowledge through our
observations. It is a long time objective.
Old hams are still around. A couple had
renounce their tickets but still identified
by their call signs. They
get together on Whatsupp. Those
who are in Australian also participate in
the jovial conversation. Shah, Zainal,
Malcom, Lim, Rashid Sultan and several
others seemed to have fun with their postings
and conversations.
Thanks to the internet technology. I talked
to my grand daughters who are in Hong Kong
last night and to Rusli until my phone went
out of battery.
This free communication tools has always
been clean and free from intruders. Almost
80% of the hams communicate using internet
rather than a radio.
Hamming could have been better if those on
the band speak on technical stuffs like the
free energy with the final objective of
building up of a working energy production
machine.
The discussion on free energy is focused on
vortex coil and Keshe Magrav. The later
seems able to produce high power electricity
with minimum wiring scheme. The idea is the
constructions of the coil and the Magrav
capacitor. The vortex coil is more on the
amplification of magnetic wave. The coil
itself function something like the Magnetic
Loop antenna.
The lack of intelligent discussion would
make us turn to the digital global source.
Mobile phone is handy in drawing
information. Those written in PDF format
could be read using E-Book reader. The
smart-phone is more resourceful than a
person. A person's vanity and swaggering
characteristics could annoy me. He would
talk much more louder than the knowledge in
his possession.
The turning away is not trying to run away
from the new radio policy. As a matter of
fact I have been writing about this way back
since the news on UFO went viral on the
websites. I mentioned about alien technology
and what they did in Area 51. It is just a
co-incident that the new regulations came
into effect at the moment when I am ready to
commit myself in a new concept ie the free
energy.

THE SPIRIT
STILL LIVES
While the Malaysians are kicking away and
murdering CW, I purchased a MFJ 564 Iambic
paddle at a cost of RM350 from One
Communication. The one given by Hairie fell
hard on the floor giving a sign that CW is
going to be killed and die permanently. This
is really a descent key that is heavy enough
to challenge all the slaps from the user.
In USA though codes are not required CW
stations are numerous. I saw a key costing
more than USD1.5K. Surely there were buyers
or else they won't be paraded at a high
cost.
My radio station has closed. The antenna is
down. Yet I buy a new paddle. Why ?
Ham Radio began with CW for decades. The
sounds on the band is like a spirit humming
and roaming in the sky. It has
been synonymous with the word ham in those
long years. To me this paddle keeps the spirit alive. I
have a straight key, a robust one, purchased
in the '70s when I started the hobby. This
key will be side by side with the new one.
They are there without any radio. I will be
begging a good tone oscillator from those
hams who have them but now find it is of no
use anymore.
The RM27
radio can be used to monitor to
broadcast stations as well as a tone
oscillator.
Different people have different views on
amateur radio. They are entitled to their own
views. It is a matter of values and
interpretation. And people measure quality
in different ways too.
To me CW key and CW is one of the tools to
gauge the quality of a ham and the key, in
any form and shape, carries the spirit and
history of the ham radio.

OS:Alekz' Magrav
Power System from the Keshe
Foundation
|
Compiled
by
Sterling D. Allan
Pure Energy Systems News
October 31, 2015
This is
the system described by Alekz, from
Nigeria, presently living in the U.K.,
and Mr. Mehran T. Keshe during the 68th
Knowledge seeker
workshop of the
Keshe Foundation,
July 2+, 2015.
Though I remain skeptical about how
"easy" this is, and how "practical" it
is, and how ready it is to roll out; I
do think there is something to this that
is worth pursuing, after you wade
through the hype in the presentations.
Gratitude is in order for the Keshe
Foundation in openly sharing these
plans.
While a housewife could build one --
with proper instructions -- these plans
are not plain enough for even a seasoned
DYI person. It's only the most astute
and intuitive that are likely to have
success, if success can be had with
this.
Stuart Campbell commented: "They have
often said 'anyone can make it' but
after having read the plans, I am not
sure that many would be that keen to
try. It would be too dangerous for
amateurs."
They don't have a system photo with
the main components labeled so you
can get an overview of what goes
where. How do the copper coil
windings relate to the "firecracker"
things? Does it require that
spinning Keshe "antigravity" device
nearby?
One big caution I see is that there
is a warning to not surpass a 2 kW
load (p. 2 of MP Manual). What
doesn't make sense to me is that if
you hook this up to your home,
you're going to daily be surpassing
that many times with typical usage
of multiple electrical appliances in
the home. An air conditioner will
pull ~5 kW. The start-up of a
refrigerator could surpass 2 kW. So
it doesn't seem that this is ready
to plug and play.
PESWiki is publicly editable (after
you get your username/password; just
ask). So you're welcome to help us
update and correct this page.
But many says that Keshe Foundation
is a scam and Keshe is a fake.

A DAY PASSED
Another day has passed. But it was full of activities and a little rushing here and there. Outside activities began with paying electrical bill. Not much though. It was only RM44.20. I used to pay between RM140 - RM250. Staying alone I do not use the freezer in the kitchen, no air conditioning, light off when I am not home. It took only about 7 minutes to settle the payment at the post office.
Assume that on the average I spend RM50 for electricity. For a year It would amount to RM600. For 10 years it will be RM6K. I won't live that long anymore. How much does the free energy generator cost ? The price range from RM25K to a few hundred thousands. It is far too expensive than paying the normal bil.
The next was taking my usual breakfast, a heavy one at the Indian restaurant. It was a late breakfast, at almost 10 am. While eating I remember to go to the Land Office to find out the next appoint date to discuss the property left by demised wife and to go to look for a computer stall which I used to give support to look at my MacBook Pro. Minutes ants have been entering the machine via the keyboard. So much so I have difficulties in using keys U,I and O. To go to the Land Office I need to bring documents for easy reference. It was not with me. I have to rush home after breakfast. As I have said that my mind always forget things. Immediately as I arrived home I went to look for the documents. Then did my prayer and rest till 2 pm. I did not remember about my computer at all. It was a complete blank. The land office is about 5 miles from my home. I took about 10 minutes to reach the destination. The wait was short. The officer told me that I will be informed at the end of the month. I just nod my head and conveyed my thank. While I was leaving I tried to remember another program I planned to do. I did not remember what. I drove slowly and was trying to recall my next intention. Finally I remembered that I want to go and find the computer shop. The shop is run by a Malay boy on a scratch, a handycap person with skilled in repairing non-Apple machines. I remember seeing him opening a Mac before. His rented stall was at the base level. In fact I went looking for it several times before. The shop was closed. This evening I took a point of inquiring from an owner of the neighboring restaurant. "First floor," said the man. I went up on the first floor. I strolled the whole floor, found only one computer stall but did not see the handicapped boy. I thought it could not be the place. I went down again and the man gave me another instruction. I followed the instruction which took me to the same stall. I was glad to see the boy and told him about the ants entering my Apple via the keyboard. I need to clean the internal part of the machine. "Could you do it ? " I asked. He acknowledged that he could. I rushed home from the city center, picked up my computer, changed my trouser to short pant for my evening exercise, and drove to the location again. He opened up the bottom portion. It was very compact inside, tightly fit the compartment. The power supply, the hard drive, the DVD drive and the printed boards covered the keyboard. Components and the wires are too small. There were too many screws. There were so much husks made by the ants. It took him some minutes to remove those. He finally said that he could not open the keyboard. I asked him to put those stuffs back. I knew it would be very tough even for the experience technicians.
"You do it. Try to suck any dirt from the keyboard from the top. I am going for my jogging and will be back by 7," said I and left the shop.
I didn't jog. I did the brisk walking for four rounds of the outside track covering the distant of 4.8 kilometers. A slow walk would take about 15 minutes. The whole exercise was one hour. At almost 7 I arrived at the shop. He said he could not do it and refused to charge me. I insisted on paying for his time and service. He accepted RM20. At home I was trying to locate my small vacuum sucker. I could not find it. I found the LCD screen cleaner. Pulling up the O,I and U keys a little I sprayed into them hoping the liquid could penetrate and washed the dirt. I blew inside them. To my amazement the three characters could be typed again. What a relief. My dinner was late. Again I didn't know where to go for my meal. After 30 minutes driving around the town I landed at one restaurant. A waitress came. I asked whether they served ginger-fried fish. "Yes," was the reply. I ordered the ginger-fried bawal, rice and an apple juice. Within a minute the juice arrived. While waiting I took out my Samsung Note II and a marriage invitation card. I ran the free GPS and located the house. It took me some time tracing the location comparing the map on the card and on the GPS screen. About 25 minutes later the same waitress came back to me and told me that there was no ginger fried fish and asked for a new order. I made a new order, fried mackerel and the Thai Tomyam. She went away. I waited. 10 minutes later she came back. "Yes, we have the ginger-fried fish." "Why the on and off ? " I asked. "Don't know. May be they are lazy to cook," she replied. The owner of the restaurant passed me with a smile and I said to him that they should not let me wait for hours. I waited. 20 minutes later the food came. The ginger-fried fish did not look like what I expected. It was almost dry without any gravy. Since I was hungry I finished the food. The apple juice was not cold anymore. During my making the payment I told the owner that the fish was suppose to be sour, crispy, a lot of ginger and a lot of gravy. Any way the taste was delicious. He charged me RM17. It was not expensive for the size of the fish. Now it is 12.08 am. It is already another day. The first thing I want to do after I wake up is to iron out my several black T-shirts that I feel comfortable to wear. 1711/2015 - Abdul Rahman Raof |

KILL THE CLEVER PEOPLE
A smart and clever people has been regarded as dangerous to a nation or a society of business community. Being a scientist is not save. The inventor of free energy or anti-gravity hardware has been arrested, killed or missing. Or he may be warned to quit his work and he may be barred from leaving the country. It happens in USA. The Mosad regarded any smart Muslim scientist is a danger to Israel national security. A few Iranian scientists were murdered. The theory of the missing MH370 is not a strange news for the same reason.
Keshe, the Iranian scientist, who is on the Plasma energy had to give away the secrets to others for hear of being killed. CIA and MOSAD can't afford to go and kill everybody with such a knowledge. They want to know whether China and North Korea possess such a knowledge and have build up military hardware out of plasma concepts.
Several countries are known to have invented the free electric power. Pakistan, Turkey and Brazil are planning to sell the products away, which is not easy to get the world's market. Even Malaysia will not allow the import and sale of the free energy generator. Factories for those generators will be disallowed because TNB will be closing down. With mass production the machines would be very cheap and affordable by the common man.
The Indonesian has claimed that the free energy generator has been produced though at the prototype level. The people are waiting words from Jokowi. I believe it will be regarded as illegal in no time.
Right now there is nothing heard from this country. We don't have people who would go for the quest of anti-gravity and free energy technology. Probably we don't have enough smart people. Scientists here are not considered as a threat yet. But we do remember a man was arrested for selling to Pakistan a product considered dangerous to US national security. Our police does the work for USA and arrested a Malaysian who was just meeting a purchase of such good.
What threatened a leader may be killed or arrested. The police are keeping a watchful eyes on university lecturers, students and all other smart citizens and the ex-government servants. Najib himself has said that a loyal man is always desirable to the smart ones.
With the TPP it is most likely the Multi-National companies will buy over the energy sector and help to clear the 1Mdb fiasco. When that happen no Malaysian will be allowed to produce and sell any gadget that will generate electricity for the home use. Anyone with the capability of producing alternative energy will be stopped either by law, or killed like what had happened to Bala and Morais.
It sound cruel. But it is something normal for the survival and greed.
I believe that TPP has a long term objectives. Our scientist cannot do any research and development in areas detrimental to the business of the multi-national companies. The question is; Will Najib be ordered to arrest or killed anyone who is smart enough to develop the amazing new technology that would be regarded as dangerous to US and Israel security ? 16/11/2015 - Abdul Rahman Raof |

The Making of Plasma Coil
|
Hello young Malaysians, let us make some coils as shown in the clip above. How young is young ? If you are below 50 then you are a young and possess enough energy to follow the progress of a new technology today. Keshe, an Iranian, is preaching on the free energy which he calls Plasma energy. Many Europeans hobbyists and professionals are following and move to do further investigation on it.
Here I quote from Jefferson Lab web page :
What is plasma?
Plasma is the fourth state of matter. Many places teach that there are three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas, but there are actually four. The fourth is plasma. To put it very simply, a plasma is an ionized gas, a gas into which sufficient energy is provided to free electrons from atoms or molecules and to allow both species, ions and electrons, to coexist. The funny thing about that is, that as far as we know, plasmas are the most common state of matter in the universe. They are even common here on earth. A plasma is a gas that has been energized to the point that some of the electrons break free from, but travel with, their nucleus. Gases can become plasmas in several ways, but all include pumping the gas with energy. A spark in a gas will create a plasma. A hot gas passing through a big spark will turn the gas stream into a plasma that can be useful. Plasma torches like that are used in industry to cut metals. The biggest chunk of plasma you will see is that dear friend to all of us, the sun. The sun's enormous heat rips electrons off the hydrogen and helium molecules that make up the sun. Essentially, the sun, like most stars, is a great big ball of plasma.
Others call the coil as Tesla coil. Some are still skeptical of Keshe. In fact it is not a new technology at all except on the part of anti-gravity levitation.
You can start with the simple coils and proceed to the more complicated ones as shown in the clip below. Good luck.
The Indonesians have already beginning to manufacture the free energy electrical energy.

I FORGET THE DAY AND THE MONTH
As I checked the marriage invitation cards this morning I found that I missed 6 of them. Most were in September which I took for this very month. Probably my consciousness stopped for two months. That's not to talk on the number of time I let my tap ran for hours. It happened several times on different days. It was one Saturday which to me was Sunday when I specially bought big size prawns, asking the my usual restaurant owner to fry them and packed them to be given to my friends, to be told that it was Saturday as I found there was no one in the work place.
I have another 6 invitations, all in this months, which I hope I will not forget. On the 19th there are three, one of which is in Sungai Petani about 36 miles away. I have to cover all the three from 12.00 am to 5 pm. On the 21st there is on in Shah Alam. I already bought a train ticket to Kuala Lumpur, departing on the 20th from my home, and rush back immediately after the festival to catch a 4 pm train.
What could have happened to my brain cells ? Or are there some clots in the cranium ? It has to be either one.
Funny, once a while I did ask myself whether it is better to die or continue living in solitude at the age of 70. Mind you with the deteriorating mental deficiency, I start to think of carrying a pen with me. I found an inked pen recently. Yesterday I went to buy a Parker ink which shocked me for the price of RM15.
What is the pen for ? I want to write words that I come across the e-book that I am reading while having meal at restaurants. I read intermittently with eating. It may be a rude practice but that's a new thing I always do nowadays. I bought a small notepad for this purpose.
The time will come when I have to jot down whatever I want to do for the day and make a daily checklist before I leave home like checking the pipe, electrical switches, floor sweeping, looking beneath my car for small kittens before I drive out, sweeping leaves outside my house etc.
Each time I started my car I knew where I was going but many a time during driving I did not remember where I was suppose to go and what I was suppose to do. I would remember them after arriving home or a few days later. It took me several times to remember buying cat food at the Giant super market.
What I forget at home on things that do not involve people are not worrying me. I am worried about forgetting to do my social obligation like attending matrimonial invitations.
I will try to consult my smart phone everyday for the day and the month.

TUNE FOR MAXIMUM
A tuner and power meter is a real blessing for it made the whole starting of the radio so very quick and simple. Old transceivers using tube as a final do not have protective circuits and a slight error can blow up the tube easily. Proper tuning of Yaesu is quite complicated and the procedure is quite messy.
By Tuning To Maximum means the maximum power output set by a carrier by quickly adjusting Preselect, Plate and Loading. Our eyes would focus on the SWR power meter. Of course we have to start with low power. After the power needle has reached the maximumlevel, adjust the SWR for minimum reading. Then increase the carrier and observe the SWR. If it is not 1:1 repeat the SWR adjustment. Otherwise adjust the Preselect, the Plate and the Load once again for maximum reading.
Some hams are conservative with power as far as tuning is concern especially when using old transceivers like YAESU FT101. Owing to the absent of protective unit several delays in tuning using a carrier could decrease the valve efficiency or even could blow it. So they deployed voice tuning without a carrier and it is a pulsated power. Taking 10 seconds for each type of tuning the carrier method will produce more heat.
Voice tuning procedure would place the Mode switch to either USB or SSB. You can whistle quickly as you adjust the Preselect, Plate and Load ( some have no load button ). Sometimes you do hear the continuous yawning or the 'aaaaa....' until you get the maximum reading on the meter.
I am haunted by my own psychology, fearing heated final tube or mosfet could drain it's efficiency away.
It is said that peak envelop power is the very maximum power short term peak reached of either steady or varying heating power level. Within 10 seconds a 100 volts of a carrier is having the peak envelope power of 100 watts because the peaks are the same cycle after cycle. If it is pulsed only half the time is 100 watts and the other is zero.
I prefer to be stupid rather than following the advice of the smarter guys who criticize the voice tuning. They brag away much of their wisdom. But I would not say the carrier tuning is bad or wrong. Experience and familiarity would not put their machines in bad shape. Moreover the new rigs are equipped with safety circuits and auto tuner. All you need to do is to set the frequency and the power you want, the rest is left to the computer system to adjust for you.

PAYING THE LOCALS AND FOREIGNERS TO LIE
Not enough to tell lie alone Najib was accused of using a large sum of money to pay the local and foreigners to tell lie for him. The latest exposed by Sarawak Report was the stealing of people's identity.
It is not only the FBI is investigating Najib, there are others too. They would have gathered reports from the Malaysian government and also from other sources. Najib should feel disturb if he is honest and sincere in his work, never steal any money and run the country in a democratic manner. WSJ is still publishing news about 1Mdb despite of Najib's legal threat and Sarawak Report is exposing things day by day.
And this is the time when opportunists are exploiting Najib for cash in return for the promise to save Najib from all attacks. Perhaps a few may be willing to kill for him.
However much Najib can spend for his survival, he can't pay everybody in the whole world. He opened investigating files on Mahathir, the rest also opened investigating files on him. They would also be looking at the death of PI Bala and Kevin Morais who knew so much on Najib's affair. Once someone even warned Zetty to be careful not to end her life as PI Bala or Kevin.
Using foreign agents is not cheap. UMNO does not have the fund to pay. Deepak or Ananda would not want to pay. Mahathir would want to know ehere Najib got the money for all his prodigious expenditure, where his son in-law get the money to buy properties in the United States, where Rosmah get the money for her big time shopping spree.
If Najib is honest he will dare to answer questions in court. If he doesn't people will take that he has not been sincere and had live with vices and avarices.
The propaganda spending is not to defend the nation or the sovereignty of Malaysia but to lie for him. Many Malaysians probably still want BN to rule but with a new leader. It is an unnecessary wastage paid by the fellow Malaysians.

A DIVERSION
The story of ISIS and Shieet in Malaysia is nothing other than the diversion issue, to blow the threat out of proportion so that the stealing of money from the citizens would be forgotten. 1Mdb is about the money lost and GST is about the bailout of 1Mdb. The lost is due to the stealing and the the GST is about forcing people to pay for the stolen money. ISIS and Sheet are two different issues. Though both will be used to arrest or to kill any dissident who go against 1Mdb and Najib 2.6 billion the later is to split the Muslims and to call the Muslims to go against Iran. Iran is the only Muslim country that is considered strong militarily and will fight for the Palestinians. Mosad has penetrated the Muslim group in Malaya and is active in planting hatred against the Shieet sect.
Najib will play the game that will save him from persecution. The power consolidation is almost complete. Najib will not be drag to court and will be free from criminal charge. If there is a continuation of challenges against him he will use the ISIS and Shieet excuses to cut them off. He has to spend a prodigious amount of money to corrupt foreign individuals to stop them from investigating him or publish more on his activities which were deemed to be criminal in nature. It may take billions of taxpayers money. If you take the 2.6 billion in his account you will see the structure of his expenditure, only a small portion for an elections. The rest for personal use. Or else he has to show how he used every single cent of the money. The foreigners being experience in their own game knows where exactly the 2.6 billion went. Najib has been taking months to come up with the written answers. If properly managed with full of honesty he needs less than one hour to provide answers to all question. By a press of a button all the figures could be displayed in detail. 1Mdb does not need to work out on the figures and start to key in the fake figures. You can know the truth and lies by the time taken. He relies so much on Obama now and is willing to follow the desire of the United States, in the TPP and a military base against China. That's why he does not want the TPP to be debated and approved by the parliament. Like every other lie he will keep on saying the same thing over and over again - TPP is for the good of the people. GST is for the good of the people. Toll rise is for the good the people. ISIS is too far away from Malaysia. When you talk about ISIS you must talk about the hardware as well. ISIS means a man plus an arm. A sympathizer of the IS is not an army. A person who owns a book on Mao is not a Communist. It is very remote for military hardware to flow into Malaysia from the distant Syria or Iraq. I would categorize it under impossibility. Hence when there is no arm, there is no IS. ISIS and Shieet threats are only mere diversion.
ISIS army with guns Iran Flying Boats It is sad that the Malaysian Muslims had fallen to Mosad deceptions. Israel is now having the Malays on their side against Iran. And the government exploit it to divert the focus from 2.6 Billions and 1 Mdb to the external Islamic threats.
Najib is very desperate to save his life. He knows the Malayans do not like him anymore. At every election his party was facing diminution and he too won by a very small margin inclusive of cheating and fraud. He has to depend on the East Malaysians to maintain his power. Today you find many Sabahans become his spokesman. Rahman Dahlam, Salleh Said Keruak and Pandikar Amin are his front army. And they have promised Najib that the Pekan man will be protected and saved by the East Malaysians. The Malaysians see a bleak future with Najib holding to power. He and his men had underestimated the Malayan, not knowing the strong will for vengeance borne in their blood that one day the young will become the Mosad like army hunting the Nazis who murdered millions of Jews to the very day.
The cyber army of Najib are running their blogs like some crazy people, driving readers to the peak of anger. The feedbacks in FaceBoook and other social media against the leaders are getting more aggressive each day. What more when Najib himself declare that loyalty to him is more important than the loyalty to the party.

CAN RUN FRONT PAGE 2003 ON WINDOWS 10
My hope is kept alive when I found that my Windows 10 laptop can run Microsoft Frontpage 2003. I will be able to continue with my blog even though my Windows XP machine goes kaput. The other day my Acer could not boot. I rushed to a computer stall and enquired about the possibility of Windows 10 running the old microsoft softwares. I was told the new machines are using the quad-core running on 64 bits. I thought there was an end to it. I have an enormous amount of information on my website.
Somehow I could run my Acer again by using a new hard disk with a new XP installed. I felt relief for a while but still thinking of this old machine that will one day will be soon gone , and forever. At the same time I purchased a HP machine for 1K with Windows 8 which I upgraded to Windows 10 at home.
More than 2 weeks later I tried to install FrontPage 2003. To my surprise it works. I opened up several of my asp files and they were displayed well. Now my mind can forget about my blog anymore.
It is vital for an old man like me to find time to kill. Time flies when I am on the keyboard. It is much faster when I was on the ham band. Hours passed like a minute.
Why FrontPage ? Number one, it is a software that I got so used to it. Secondly it is faster and easier to set the form and tables. It is of the WYSIWYG basis. As what I see on the screen as I typed or put up pictures, that is what I would see when I opened it up on the internet. Of course there are other interesting web developer programs. The problem is I am not accustomed to them and I am having a large amount of old data in my storage.
Successful with one does not mean I am successful with all the old software. I tried to install Visual Basic 6 but it refused to accept. My anti-virus rejected the installation due to the trojans that comes with it. It also mention that my memory is low. In my mind the 64 bit machine would not accept the 32 bit software of some design. May be I will upgrade the RAM a little bit more.
For a time being I can relax and enjoy myself now that I know my Windows 10 is not totally useless after all.

I WANT TO TRY 80 METERS
For people with space problem magnetic loop antenna will be the solution. Even the construction is simple. I am one of those without an ample space for an 80 meter antenna. Many people recommended that the 80 meter band would be good with the 6 feet of loop diameter. The circumference would be about 18.8496 feet. It could be mounted to a wooden block or to a PBC pipe. The two ends are connected to a variable capacitor. It has another loop which is about 1/5 of the outside loop. The circumference is about 3.7695. It is this piece that is connected to the coaxial cable. It will induce the current to the outer loop.
At the initial stage I have to look at the variable capacitor. I used to have many of these before but I gave them away to radio friends. I also have to find out copper foundry or shop that sell copper tube. I don't know how much it would cost me for 23'. Copper is expensive nowadays and price keeps on climbing as GST, toll and other taxes arise. I also have to think how to mount the copper to the PBC or to a piece of wood. The highest I can put is on top of my car porch. That will post a problem of tuning the capacitor. I believe the capacitance will change as the antenna gets higher. On the ground will be different. I know I will have to tune it only once because I only want to work on 80. Of the worst I could do is to tune it at the ground level and then brings it up on the porch. Not many people use the 6' diameter loop. Many cut to half of it's size, 3 feet in diameter.
Probably by mid 2016 I can start hoisting this antenna up and but a few new transceivers for the come back.

WHEN NAJIB ARRESTS MAHATHIR
I don't run this country
When Najib arrests Mahathir our economy will be doomed. Najib may not be having problem with the Malaysians especially those from Sabah and Sarawak but it is from the world. It is not a factor of empathy or sympathy but a factor of Najib's character. It is very despicable for a man to arrest a man who made him a Prime Minister. And Najib has left a vivid trail seen by the world to keep secret about money going into his personal account.
But Najib is a special specie who does not care as to what is happening to Malaysia economy. He wants to believe that ailing currency and plunging investments are all not due to his doing. He believes it was due to Mahathir and all those other people who attacked the 1Mdb. He also believe that he is the man to be respected and obeyed not UMNO. UMNO can vanish and shattered as long as he can remain a Prime Minister.
Don't talk about Mahathir's arrest but let us talk about Mahathir's death. Without the ex-Prime Minister who made Najib a King, the economy will not revive with Najib remains in power. Would he care about the suffering of the people ? NO. He continues to live a lavish life of an emperor, spending money as to his wish and likings, and arresting those who criticize him.
It is the foreigners who will move away from Najib except those who want to share the loot . Investors have been moving away since they lost their trust on our leader. Najib will be seen as a pure evil to put his benefactor in jail. No amount of money can he spend to justify his action.
He has been having a bad track record in elections. He won by a very small majority even in his own state. He has to leans so much on Sabah and Sarawak where the people are acclimatized to the native culture and leaders of myopic mentality, a single track short sighted authoritarian zombe. The old timers, loyal to Mahathir, would not vote for UMNO anymore. They will not vote for PAS too. Hadi Awang is like a big time UMNO man wearing PAS cloak.
The foreigners view the future of this country unstable and in a state of turbulence. They predict the unpopularity of Najib by looking at the Yellow shirt turnouts. They compared to the politics of Syria and compute the possible uprising. The Malays hate Najib. The Chinese hate Najib. The economy will be worsened.
A Malay like me who did not like Mahathir's administration and his many programs would not give a thumb up to Najib. We would see Najib to be much worse than his Mahathir. The world is perceiving the same view. You will notice will continue to parade himself as if nothing has happened and assert himself as a righteous person. Other leaders would whisper among themselves on whether we do still have shame in us.

DEATH
IS NOTHING
To a believer or non
believer death is
something normal.
There is no point
lamenting and crying
our hearts out. As a
human we do feel sad
or sometime regret
that we have not
done enough to our
father and mother
while they were
still alive. A
believer believes
that he will meet
them again in the
eternal world. There
is nothing to worry
about if we have
honored God and do
good to the people
in our society. At
least that's what I
believe as a Muslim.
I have to respect
the beliefs in other
religion whatever
they may be.
A lawyer,
engineer, doctor,
King, Prime Minister
and the strongest
and the wealthiest
does not turn into
gold and silver when
he dies. He does not
feel he is on the
apex of the throne.
No amount of money
buried with him
could give him
happiness and
comfort.
If in our life we
do nothing but
solely hunting for
money we will be
missing a lot of
other things like
love and affection,
caring towards the
needy and the
helpless and the joy
of making others
happy. Steve Job
realized that the
sea of money around
him could not buy
his health. Indeed
he did not take them
with him.
Those who still
breath the fresh air
should be more
concern of the
living, their
relationship with
the others, their
health and daily
activities and to
manage themselves
well. Everyone is
busy with his own
problems and the
need to survive.
Another part of our
life is not to cause
pain on the others
by words or deeds.
We will be cursed
for our foul mouth
or our demonic
actions.
People in power
tend to forget who
they are in reality.
They thought force
would give them
respect and people
would bow to
pressure. All they
create is the
intense hatred,
despicable words
were used against
them and they are
waiting for the day
to see those so
called dignified
persons suffer.
Some Sultans are
very close to God.
They understand what
life is, only
temporary greatness.
Nevertheless we
appreciate at
whatever things the
dead left for the
living, of science
and technology, of
his wisdom and
morality, of his
visions and his
advice. The family
members get his
wealth. If he dies
as a villain he will
be recorded in
history as a tyrant.
I don't approve for
a tyrant to be
killed but make him
suffer by perpetual
torture.
When a despotic
ruler or his
associates passed
away millions would
celebrate because
they have witnessed
the disappearance of
one evil. Their life
will go on as usual.
The dead never come
back. He just went
dissipated. Not even
the 2.6 billion
could be used to
bargain with God.
Among questions he
has to answer, "Why
do you lie so much
to the people ? "

FREE ELECTRICITY WITHOUT FOSSIL FUEL
Truly the free energy is around that can
make million of homes running free
electricity. The permanent magnet motors
invented by the Pakistanis and the Turks are
hard to find markets as there is a war of
deception waged by the fossil fuel
producers. I am sure the government of
Malaysia will not allow the importation of
the free energy electrical generators. TNB
will surely be closed down.
Even if you can smuggle one you cannot cut
the electrical supply by TNB unless you are
willing to fight for your right in court, in
which the court will decide for the state.
To avoid suspicion you need to use the free
energy for 10 or 15 days and pay less to the
supplier.
But I am sure the gadgets are already in
some of the Malaysian homes. Somebody is
selling them covertly.
Chinese companies do sell parts to assemble
the permanent magnet motor. It poses a great
risk if the project does not work.
US
$20000-200000
/
Set
(
FOB
Price)
Type:
permanent
magnet
generator
alternator
type:
generator
alternator
power
factor:
0.8
Brand Name: Sunshine power
Permanent Magnet Generator: Alternator
Everywhere loomed the inventors of permanent
magnet motor. People are getting skeptical
to see the simple and small machine that
claim to save big money. We also hear of an
inventor who claims he captures the
radio
wave
vibrations and amplify it to produce
megawatts of power.
The bottom line is still money unless you
can produce your own machine. or your mind
is able to visualize a new form of plasma
energy and how to find it.
For a time being let us try to get hold of
the Pakistani permanent magnet motor and try
it. It is not a crime to put free light in
our home for we are not stealing from
anybody.

I SHRUNK
MYSELF BY HIDING
|
I shrunk myself by throwing away
knowledge that I would have known,
and suppressing information that
pang my heart. The lesser I know the
less worry I get. I close myself
from reading newspapers and watch TV
a long time ago. I do not subscribe
to ASTRO. Those would save me a few
hundred dollars.
Being stupid and keep it to myself
does not hurt me. Only my world is
getting smaller. Even if I were to
be smart people would still say that
I am a senile old man. For a senile
old folk the less we talk the
better.
My shack used to be very noisy with
radio signals occupying the four
walls. Now it is quite and serene.
Occasionally I would hear song that
came from my website 9m2ar.com .
I cut myself from the radio world as
well.
Friends send clips and news on
WhatsApp. Some I read. Some I don't.
There are too much on religion
trying to make me a better Muslims.
Some video footage were very
entertaining and informative. I did
not put effort to remember them.
Whatever I watched and listened
would be forgotten soon after.
To me NOW is an age with new values
and people do not care about
morality. Do people know what is
right and what is wrong ? Social and
family values have undergone a
massive change. None is palatable to
my taste, for we have been living in
the world of different form and
space.
To ignore the present totally is
almost impossible. We are living in
it. We have to deal with the
technological progress when we are
paying bills and other dues, doing
shopping at the shopping centers,
use the state of the art
transportation system and equipped
our homes with the modern gadgets.
We have to abide by departmental
rules and regulations and observe
their ethics. We have to bear with
whatever system that we don't like.
Natives who are still living in the
deep jungle would be more peaceful
if they are not threatened by the
greedy capitalist readily to fell
trees or build unnecessary dams.
They do not need to know DS Najib or
Rosmah Mansor, GST or TOL raise,
whether Malaysia is world champion
in soccer or not. But today they
hardly live in peace as their lands
are being cleared and they struggle
to find a safe place to stay.
I am not running away from life. I
am just trying to avoid the nonsense
and absurdity of the new era. Lies
and spinning and words twisting has
become a norm. Almost the whole
spectrum of human specie have become
greedy and selfish. How many people
are still carrying shame with them ?
There are those who robbed but being
supported by the people whom we
should labeled as immoral. They made
heroes out of criminals.
There is no way that I can change
the world. I can't even influence
one single simple soul. I have no
resource and no energy left to
defend the old values and beliefs.
Who cares about trustworthy,
integrity, filial piety,
honesty, responsibility, diligence,
etiquette and mutual respect anymore
? They are mere stickers without
spirit and substance. They replaced
rhetoric with deeds.
Our ears is not to hear sins. Our
eyes is not to see evil and
avarices. If we have no alternative
but to float in the sea full of evil
and stupidity we have to jump and
lock ourselves in a cocoon. Let the
howling and the humming echo at the
outside. Let the
laughter
and the cry filled the atmosphere.
I do not steal from anyone from
being stupid. I don't kill anyone by
calling people greedy and selfish. I
don't make Najib and Rosmah poorer
by hating their spending demeanor.
If people are happy to stay lazy and
love to get free things from the
government and their peers let them
be.
This is a free world.

MAHATHIR
AND HIS SIN
If you are not happy with Najib you have to
blame Mahathir. The later had made a lot of
people suffer. I still get letters from
lawyers of Indah Water belonging to
Mahathir's crony.
All he did was grooming Najib to be some
sort of a monster. He pays his price
for making Najib a PM.
Some blame the voters who were stupid enough
to go for BN. But in the democratic
process of election there is always a flaw.
There are the elements of
money, corruption and gangsterism.
Saddam and Ghadafi could never be brought
down by the normal electoral process. And
the ruling party will hold on to it's power
by all mean at any cost.
We live in fear when Mahathir was a Prime
Minister. It was just like a Gestapo state.
Secret police were sent to mosques and the
kenduris to spy and arrest the dissidents.
He privatized services to rob the public by
mending the statue of law. There was a yo-yo
in MAS, buy when it profitable and sell when
it was losing. PERWAJA went astray and Bank
Bumi suffered a severe lost.
I remember very well we talked about
Mahathir on end from Alor Setar to Kuala
Lumpur while driving. We came to a
conclusion that God will punish him in both
worlds.
He created authoritarianism in UMNO. He made
Putrajaya supreme not the parliament. He
manipulated judiciary. And his greatest
mistake was after his retirement, kicking
out a good man and place Najib instead.
The Malayan found that Najib was a liability.
He is aware of his declining popularity. He
has to cling to the Sabahans and the
Sarawakians to stay in power. He has to beg
the Chinese to vote for MCA and Gerakan. And
now he claims that 'number is not
important'. In fact to Najib UMNO is
not important at all. To him Najib Razak
must come first.
The assessment on Najib administration
basically come from three prongs. The first
comes from his own team which of course
painted flowery and glittering beauty.
Everything is the best, no robbery, no
corruption and UMNO is an angel. The second
from the people as shown by the number of
Yellow shirt protestors. And the third by
the foreign investors and other foreigners.
It is the last that counts the most. They
will not be influenced by Mahathir or by
local opposition party members. Their
assessment on Najib is the most true and the
most valid.
What do you think the foreigners and the
investors thought of Najib ?

DEVIL IN DISGUISE
|
A person asked me for a RM50K loan and
recently carried off my RM450 coins told me
that she cannot help me because her son is
having an exam at a school about 200 miles
away. I asked her to pick me up from the car
service center at 9 am and send me home. It
would not take more than 30 minutes.
I have to send my car again to Produa
Service Center about 6 miles away to change
the gear oil seal and pick it up in the
evening.
I have the alternative to wait at the
workshop or take a few miles walk to Tesco
supermarket nearby. Probably it is only
about 1 1/2 miles. On this day I can skip my
evening walk replacing it with the morning
exercise.
You may ask me whether I have given the 50K
loan. No. The money was not with me yet. I
would have given it away if things would
have been right on the procurement process.
You could guess what will be my decision
now. The son is 200 miles away sitting for
exam papers and she is busy here.
When I am asking for help I can't force
people to deliver it. Everybody has his
right. They may be busy and have more
important jobs to do.
Don't I have any other friends to help me ?
I do but I don't want to trouble them. They
did not ask for any big favor. After all it
is not a big deal.
Imagine my feeling if I had given the 50K
loan without any witness and paper signed.
Could I get back my money. A ham radio
friend, a 9W, promised to pay back a 500 ringgit
loan within a week is never to be seen until
today. It is a devil in disguise. Probably
God is telling me not to
proceed with the
lending.
That's why I have been telling that it takes
years to really know a person. You can't
pick up someone you have just met on a
street or on the webpage as a friend and to
trust him with your belongings.
Most of the time I bear with persons' habits
and characters. Not all the bad habits were
revealed. I observed that the characters
seem to correlate with the level of
education. Lowly educated pride themselves
as being haughty and arrogance, living with
lies and deception. It may not be true to
all. I am not talking about the RM50K
guy.
Remember, disappointment can be a devil in
disguise.

USA - CHINA COLD WAR
|
With the demise of Soviet Union only two
nations could post as a threat to USA's
quest to become the Emperor of this
universe; China and North Korea. These two
countries must be contained their military
power must not be allowed to be above US
defense capability. Japan, South Korea, the
Philippines, Malaysia and Australia will
check Chinese expansion in the South China
sea and the seas around Japan and Korea. New
technology must not be allowed to enter the
Middle Kingdom at all cost.
To the United States and Israel the world is
in a state of war. Killing is normal. Israel
had bombed a United States warship during
the Middle East conflict. In a state of war
mistaken identity happened and the ship was
thought as an enemy freighter. The shootings
of women and children of the warring
countries is part and parcel of the war.
Similarly, it had to be done to MH370 which
was feared to pass technological stuffs to
China.
US
base at Diego Garcia
China was warned not to further increase her
air-craft carrier. But China displays
herself as a peaceful and friendly nation,
only desired in defending herself against
terrorism. She is more interested in
developing higher technology both for
economy and for defense.
What is not predictable is North Korea,
inferior to USA in arms and technology by
the leaders can be crazy enough to throw
bombs at her close neighbors. There have
been several exchanges between the North and
the South Koreans.
Modern war deployed drones to shoot the
enemy. They use laser and anti-missile
missiles. They use remote control on enemy's
vehicles.
China is not so stupid not to be aware of
the state of the art weapons, and of USA's
strategy to keep in control. Instead of
using firepower in the current war they wage
war on economy. We are mere spectator, we
are observing the cunningness of both
nations.
CIA have dealt with Soviet Union for a long
time. The great Soviet finally fell. How
long could China sustain her resilience is
yet to be seen.

BE CAREFUL WHEN BUYING ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE
|
I won't buy Kaspersky anti-virus anymore.
The last I bought gave me problem the moment
I installed it. The registration number was
not valid. After a long struggle I could
download the database. About 2/3 months ago
my laptop went kaput. It refused to register
when I re-installed it. I have until
December before it should expire.
I am sure I am not the only one with the
painful experience. I am just warning the
potential buyer to be more careful in
choosing the anti-virus software.
Had not because of my writing blog on this
XP machine using MS Frontpage, I would have
opted to Apple Mac. In fact I would
recommend all Malaysians to go for Mac
machines. It is durable and speedy. I have
been using it for many years without any of
the anti-virus stuff. Though Windows 10 is
trying to emulate the Mac OS style of usage
it would stay be slow running on different
micro processor.
Using other anti-virus software to scan my
hard disk which formerly used Kaspersky
protection, I found there were a few hundred
malwares and viruses undetected by
Karspersky. Right now my current laptop is
without any protection. Every now and then
Kaspersky pop up kept on reminding me to
purchase the new license.
Buying anything at all from the computer and
phone stalls in this country is very risky.
Pricey mobile costing a few thousand ringgit
may be fake made in China. Big companies
like Maxis is more trustworthy. Get them to
register your purchase. Selling fakes as
original gave the vendors more profit.
I think the antivirus software that I bought
was a fake one.

RIGHT OF CHOICE
|
A person has a right to do
anything legal of his choice.
Legal means legal in the eyes of
God and the people. Sure a
government can write regulations
to dump things she like at her
own whims and fancies to make
legal or illegal. Anyone can
choose to like or hate Rosmah
Mansor as long as he does not
parade his hatred in public with
an insolent act, or howling
slanderous words to shame her.
I have said time and again that
I can't force people to like me
and praise me for good things I
have done on them. And they
can't force me to accept their
will, beliefs and policies. The
other day when I wanted to park
my car at a certain location for
two weeks there were voices
against it. Of course it was for
my own good. But it was my own
decision and I did whatever I
wanted to do. I had to accept
any consequence that strike me.
There are good laws design to
protect the general public.
There are bad laws design to rob
the people. Politicians are fond
of making bad laws to take
people's money without pity.
Such laws flourished during
Mahathir's era of privatization
and forming third party to put
burden on the people. The
current administration continues
supporting the devious
regulations.
Private clubs and societies have
their own set rules for the
members. If we don't like them
we can avoid them and form our
own free of rules or coercion.
Once a member one has to submit
to the requirements. We have the
choice to accept or to leave it.
As individuals and citizens, do
we have an absolute freedom of
choice ? Certainly we can
think whatever we want and like
whoever we choose. This is an
absolute state that we have. It
is a freedom that nobody can
rob. To hate with verbal or
physical insult could land us in
physical retaliation or legal
action taken on us. We can't
escape paying the crazy rise of
rates and taxes and insurance
premium. It is believed that US
government is planning to use
machines to scan people's
thought to check whether you are
a terrorist or not.
We have to depend on the wisdom
of others to decide our fate. We
can't deny the choice they made.

NEW WORDS
|
There are many new terms that I
am not aware of. It began with
the word KANTOI. I don't know
how it comes about and who
invented it. If is a Malay in
origin, I would have known since
my school days.
The other night I went to Sri
Malaysia to have my dinner.
There was a new lady at the
counter. "You must be new," I
said. "Where is the old one ? "
"She quit and does her own
business," the lady replied.
"What business and where ? "
"Day time she is at Simpang
Kuala and at night she is at
UPTOWN."
After my dinner I drove around
looking for shop that is
called UPTOWN. There wasn't any.
I thought of doing the search
again the next day. In the
meantime at home I made a goog;e
search, which pointed out that
UPTOWN is the night stalls near
the stadium.
And I asked my sister in-law
what SELFIE meant.
As the word KIPIDAP I caught the
meaning by myself, guessing by
it's sound as Keep It Up.
No wonder, when I was teaching
Malay in Kiet Hwa secondary
school I found the words and
sentences use by the Chinese
students were of high class
language. The Chinese students
were serious in learning BM and
strived for credits. You will be
amazed reading the essays they
wrote.
In my opinion the most beautiful
language that is pleasing to
hear is the Thai. It is soft and
melodious. I doubt the Thais
would permit unnecessary
pollution.
One lady teacher I observed has
been using all the short forms
and new words on her facebook
postings. I hardly understood
what she was suppose to convey.
I believe teachers should
minimize all the new words and
new style of writing messages.
There is nothing wrong with the
word selfie. It is not Malay
though it is being adopted
throughout the world.
Malaysia is still having an
educational crisis. New leaders
came with new policies.
Politicians are concern of
making money, dividing the
populace and protecting
criminals. Are we not in a
chaotic state ?

RADIO
WORLD
People have been asking me of what I
always do at home every day. Even
the daily house maid quipped that it
has to be very boring.
There are a lot of things I want to
do but I could not accomplish them
all. Cleaning the compound alone
will take a few hours and leaves are
falling everyday. Time is much
stolen by my Android and laptop
computers. I do not have time to
watch TV or switch on my radios.
Facebook, Whatsupp, Youtube and
online free movies have been
entertaining me for quite some time.
Only at the edge of midnight I would
watch videos on my HD TV.
I
have decided to put to a rest on my
radio. For a time being my radio
world will be closed until some time
later in the future. I only have two
working walkie-talkies and a couple
of power supplies left. A Diamond
power supply which I recently bought
was given away for free to a lady
ham who was badly in need of it.
Without the big radios, my desk
looks neater, does not look messy
anymore. But my shack is full of
clothing and shirts hanging on the
wall. The unused washing machine and
a mini-bar are left to take the
room's space away.
I
cannot predict when I will come back
on the ham band. I used to stay away
from the radio for more than 10
years before, engrossing myself with
computer chat. I did forget the
hobby totally. I returned to the
hobby in 2002 to find a huge changes
in the philosophy and it's
structure. Together came the
sophisticated computers and the soft
wares. The world gave keen focus on
the new network technology. And I
was deeply involved in developing
applications for various usage.
Today being lonely my mental state
is not as before. I rarely talk to
people except for a few words
whenever I went shopping or ordered
my dinner. I do not find pleasure
listening to ham radio
communication, TV news and other
form of broadcasts and entertainment
anymore. I kept on forgetting
things, names and what I wanted to
do. I did feel at time that I am an
outcast Pariah.
My
stepping out of the radio world for
a more comfortable refreshing field
is just like leaving the country for
a short vacation overseas. In fact
my imagination is full of traveling
euphoria. I set the traveling plans
and start fantasizing them even
without agent confirmation. It
wasn't like more than 40 years ago
when my mind was filled with nothing
but to reach home the quickest
possible from my workplace to kick
start the CQ call. Those were the
days even when Zainal, 9M2ZA, was
never heard on the air.
Computer has left a great impact on
every society. It brings people
together. Distant communication is
free and we can choose either the
visual or speech mode. Live image is
superbly clear. The size is further
compressed to palm size and put in
our pockets. The mobile units
enabled us to reach the other side
of the world while we are moving or
lying on a beach.
Despite my laying off my radio I
have to admit that I went to
exercise my mind by opening the
websdr.org, where I tuned to the
Morse codes and let my mind
interpret them. It was a form of
mind sharpening. Till now I do
not feel I miss anything at all.

FUNNY THINGS
DID HAPPEN
When I started in Vocational Secondary
school as a Principal it was full of
frustrations. I could not make my school as
outstanding as I wanted it to be. People
simply did not like me especially officers
from the education department. Like all
other vocational schools science and
mathematic result had not been above 50%.
Teachers blamed the students as stupid and
useless. It was just an co-incident that
most teachers were non-graduates.
Then there was a change in policy that all
non-graduate teachers must be replaced with
the graduates. We were asked to submit names
of all the non-graduates to be replaced. I
did not submit all but chose to retain the
hardworking ones and those who did not put
the blame on the students or their parents.
It was like a miracle when the performance
of all the academic subjects including
mathematics and science shot up to above 80%
with the new graduate staffs. It was amazing
and incredible as the number of the 1st
graders increased. Many were poor achievers
on the entry level.
The school was design to accommodate those
who did not fare well in the Form 3
examination. These boys were not interested
in hearing teachers teaching. They prefer to
do practical work.
As years passed by the students became more
matured. We encouraged them to pursue
academic excellence as well. The performance
of our school became known to many. The
number of applicants soared up. There were
applicants from all over Malaysia. Some
schools were facing under-applicant.
Students with 9,8 and 7 As sent the
application form. I called the parents and
gave a frank talk, pointing our system
cannot make a student an engineer or an
architect. They need to go to Technical
Secondary school or stay foot in their
respective schools in science stream. So far
they agreed and seek an alternative
approach.
We have still a big number with 5As. The
parents would simply dismissed my
explanations. I have a lawyer friend who
applied for building construction. "Do you
want your son to be a carpenter ? "
"He wants to be an architect," he replied.
"He can't," said I. And he insisted that his
son to remain in my school. And I have
another school Principal's friend who insist
his son and daughter to be there.
We studied all the requirements needed for
further study for the bright students. We
went to Universiti Utara Malaysia to have
some discussions. They accepted Data
Processing as one of the subjects and
require Basic Economy which was not in our
course of curriculum. My teacher volunteered
to teach Basic Economy outside the school
time table. All were done for the Commercial
classes.
Then we introduce art and craft. A friend of
mine was willing to teach for free and a
teacher volunteered to be an instructor.
Finally we introduced additional mathematics
to those who were interested to sit for the
exam. Then we gave all; the trade, the skill
and the academic. You would be surprise even
the normal students followed the additional
mathematic classes.
Again the result of the public exam showed
excellence.
Big guns from the education departments
began to send their kids or relative to my
school. Funny one lady officer gave me very
low grade on my assessment. She said, "I
assess you, not your school."
Our school won prizes at national level
almost every year. We became champion in the
cleanliness and landscaping, in innovation
and invention. We were runners up in
several. Until our school became the bench
mark for all the technical and vocational
institutions.
In year 2000 I was transferred out because I
was not in agreement with my boss in Kuala
Lumpur. I called him as ungrateful lot and
chose to leave the system. He called me mad
and told everybody I was mad.
A year later the champion school began to
lose it's glitter. Several years later this
same school had to visit and learn from
other school. Why ? They pulled out what we
had put in. They plugged out one by one.
It was not my school anymore. To me the
whole happenings was a miracle. How could my
friends with good kids trust so much that
their sons and daughters would achieve
something from our school. The impossible
happened. My lawyer's friend son became an
architect.
I considered myself a Pariah, a useless
person. But I walked out with my head high
to another school a few yards away. I was
told by a friend that the officers in the
District Education Officers had a big head
ache every year because parents were
demanding to put their kids in my new
school. Our result shot up year after year.
An administer of my old school asked me what
I did to my new school.
I shrugged my head. "Nothing....," said I.
But I can tell you that a normal man won't
make a change. Neither are the bootlickers.
It takes a mad man to change the world, for
good or for bad.

SET UP A
PUBLIC WORKSHOP
Europeans
are of the habit of setting up their own
workshops to build from a simple to
sophisticated projects. One man who is
working on permanent magnet constructs the
whole product by himself. But he has a CNC
machine, wood work and electronic lab with
complete facilities. A normal individual
can't even afford a lathe machine in this
country.
At a
public invention and innovation club the
government could equipped the lab with all
the necessary materials and equipments so
that the youths who have nothing to do after
leaving schools could initiate their own
team for the constructions of new
inventions. Let us start with a single lab
first and organize the manpower with a
knowledgeable manager and skilled
instructors with fixed salaries. No money to
be given to the young people who spend their
time at the institution except for light
food and drinks. Allowance will only be paid
once the project under construction does
show promise.
There is
no formal teaching of mathematics or science
but participants can always discuss those
topics that are relevant to the formula on
the project designed.
We are not
merely looking at the scientific and
technological development but also on the
social aspect. We don't the unemployed
youths to waste their time on criminal
activities. At least while waiting for the
job they have some interesting things to do.
A few
amazing inventions could change their live.
In this aspect I still wonder what is
happening to the Pakistani who invented
permanent magnet motor that can be attached
to a high powered generator. In fact
Pakistan could sell the invention to the
world.
Is it too
ambitious for such a program ? I don't think
so. Get the right people to run the show
everything will be fine. BUT it must be kept
out of politics. Someone might want to
choose some empty head crony to lead the
project objective. We fear he will us more
funding for his own pocket. Sorry, that's
what I believe politicians are.

WHAT
IF I WERE
TO DIE ALONE ?
I always remember that having a human in a
home is not as having a TV or a washing
machine. A human has a spirit and a soul,
the mind and an emotion, the needs and the
lust. You can forget your TV and a freezer
unattended for months and years but you
can't pretend there is no person in your
house when there is one there. Attention
need to be given. Conversations have to be
done to kill the boredom and to feel that
lives exist in the house. Words used have to
be carefully selected as not to hurt each
other's feelings. Marriage is a complex
state.
I am thinking another way round so that
people would come to know if I were to die
alone.
This is life. I am not the only one who is
living in solitary confinement. I know many
passed away quietly and to be discovered
some time later by friends or relatives. If
I choose this kind of life then I
should not worry about dying . And continue
to enjoy my magnanimous freedom.
I don't have to please anybody. I do things
my way. Nobody forces me to obey his or her
will. I make my own rule. I am in command. I
don't have to worry about spending money on
another soul.
It sounds selfish but I do not hurt anybody
nor do I robbed them of their wealth
and freedom.
However my mind may change in the coming
future. As a weak specie we cannot reject
what God decides for us.
At time it came across my mind that I want
to go back to school again in USA. I believe
the university could give me a scholarship
even though I am nearing 70.

AS TIME MOVES
What am I going to do today ? I would be a
common question for a pensioner like me. But
I have a lot of questions on what am I going
to do tomorrow or in the near future.
Working people seem to have more programs
for the future and note them down in their
diaries.
I promised a friend to have fried prawn at
Majid restaurant. He was so busy that he
could not confirm the date and the prawns
are not always available. The restaurant
would charge at about RM8 or RM9 for a
medium size piece.
This morning I drove about 6 miles away to
look for the prawns. I was lucky to have
found the medium to big ones at RM45 per
kilo. There were 17 pieces altogether. I
took the prawns to Majid. They will be fried
next week.
Feasts and marriage festivals are coming.
This evening my next door neighbor send
invitation for a feat. Invitations for
marriage festivals received so far were two.
More will be coming. One will be in Sungai
Petani, about 36 miles from home and another
in Shah Alam. For Shah Alam I already bought
the electric train tickets yesterday.
And in December I have to be at the local
Land Office.
When future is so tight with programs and
activities which we have to oblige, only a
little is left for our own to do what we
want. We have to squeeze ours in between
times. For people who like to travel they
have to choose the trip of a short duration
at places nearby .
Yesterday I asked myself, "What am I going
to do tomorrow ? " I told myself I would try
to service my car and buy prawns at Kubang
Rotan. I could buy the prawns but could not
do the service. The appointment will be
tomorrow at 9.30 am.
At between 9 to 9.30 the roads won't be so
congested. Yet you see cars on the roads. I
would always ask myself who are those
people. Don't they go to work ? In parks I
would see young lovers and people playing
takraw when they should be at their
workplace. So on the 28/10/2015 I will be at
the Produa Service Center for almost half of
the day.
Now people talk of 'Time Management' which I
have not heard in the 50's and 60's. True
indeed that time is a very precious and an
important element in our life. The Muslims
are asked to utilize the time well and not
to waste it unnecessarily ."
Pop up and abrupt invitations could be very
annoying. It could be as soon as an hour.
Most of the time they clashed with our
programs. A few days of notice should be
welcomed.
I hate most at those who do not honor their
promises. On several instances I cancelled
all other plans and appointments just
because I had made a promise with him. But
when the time came and after a long wait he
would call me to say he has something else
to do. He robbed me of my precious time. Try
to imagine how I held felt. Really I don't
regret losing a friend who has no integrity.
I have a feeling that people who do
not think and plan for tomorrow, next week,
month and 10 and 100 years to come will be
on the losing end. He will be miserable in
the later part of his life.

Riding a
time-machine.
Once it
was theorized that the farther
we go from earth the slower will
be the time. I used to hear of
the phrase Time Warp. May be it
has something to do with this.
The theory was depicted in the
movie The Planet of the Apes.
I don't
believe that time can be halted
or delayed. No doubt we can see
or hear the past today. The
light of a star we see is not
the current light. It is the
light sent probably million of
years ago. Similarly a wave of a
voice may travel to the moon and
reflected back to the earth back
and force for 5 years and
suddenly captured and heard.
They
are from the past. The past
therefore exist.
But
many believe that the future is
our making. Science fiction
movies have been showing that
people can go to the future,
look at the events and come back
to readjust their behaviors so
that the future they saw will
not happen.
Religions however believe that
the future has been laid out.
One's behavior will follow the
path that have been programmed
inside them. They call it
predestination.
In a
way we cannot blame the few
people who rule and control the
world. Their achievement did not
pop out of the thin air. They
sat together and planed and
planed, setting strategies to
conquer the future. If you talk
of the power of Illuminati, it
was not of a sudden emergence.
The First President of America
was an Illuminati and also a few
of the successors.
There
are attempts to bring the sickly
people to the future for cure by
freezing them. They will be
awoken up may be 100 or 200
years from the freezing took
effect. But it has nothing to do
with time per se.
For
general men they must compute
their future by asking questions
and find the answers themselves. |

SEND RASTAM
TO
TEL
AVIV
We have just heard that the Silat group head
by Rastam is willing to go to war. And Najib
endorsed him by saying Silat group would be
made the National defense force. I remember
seeing a movie called The Beast of No Nation
where young boys were recruited to be
rebels, trained and underwent a certain
rituals. These people were told they were
invisible to the enemy and immune to bullet
penetration. Then I remember the boxer
rebellion and the conquest of Melaka by the
Portuguese.
If the Silat Defense Force is so great then
Malaysia could send the force to Tel Aviv
headed by Rastam to capture Netanyahu and
destroy the entire knesset. Eventually the
Silat gang, like Gengiz Khan, can conquer
the Western nations country by country.
Can we count on Rastam to make the Malays
the police of the World ?
May be in the present century the Keris and
the Silat have turned the them into super
humans. Otherwise Najib would have not hail
them as a national defense force. And
it is good for the Malays to take the IQ
test to enlist them in any of the Silat
group.
Some Mossad agent will have to tell
Netanyahu to learn the Silat to defend
himself and fight off Rastam the powerful.

JOY OF A TRIP
My sensation of a trip may be different
from other travelers. The joy I felt was not
during the trip proper but it began from the
day my booking was confirmed. The next trip
to Spain and Morocco is not conformed yet
because the travel agency does not have it
opened yet. Already, the sensation of
excitement has begun. You may not believe me
if I were to say every trip to USA was
prepared one year ahead. Luggage was ready 6
months before and it was filled slowly bit
by bit.
Every
night before sleeping I would fantasize
the tour from day one,
imagining the people in the group and
picture the environment. Fantasizing things
are always like fairy tales, full of beauty
and happiness. The vacation program may take
4 days but the dream was
much longer. I traveled first in my dream
before the real physical venture. Actually
it was worth the money spent. It brought joy
and happiness for almost perpetually.
6 months before a trip I would start
thinking
what sort of clothing I want to bring.
Lately I love T-shirts which are only
suitable for summer. It would also save
space. Summer in USA could be very
hot. The heat wave did kill people
especially in the Mid West. April to June
should be suitable with the T-Shirts. Europe
won't be too warm even in Summer except the
Balkan states. The choice is usually a
summer time trip. The winter clothing will
take up much of baggage space. For every
trip I would buy a pair of new cheap rubber
shoes of a lower quality between RM25 -
RM50. But for shirts I would bring those I
like, even used 10 - 20 years ago.
About 3 months before I would start
making
inquiry on the mode of Alor Setar - KLIA
transportation. Ifcheap
plane tickets are available I would buy it.
If it is more than RM400 for a return cost.
There is a bus to KLIA and to Putrajaya. The
last time I took a bus to KLIA it stalled
half way and I had to jump to another bus
which only took me to Puduraya. Going to
Putrajaya and
then catch the train to KLIA is also without
hasle. Once in a while I took a train.
Usually I would buy the ticket at the
earliest possible time.
The final thought was how to go to the
airport, railway station or bus
stop.
I would try not to trouble people, neighbors
or friends. Many a time I drove to the
airport and parked my car there.
At least for six months my mind would be
occupied on nothing else but the trip.
These are the spices of life in trips and
traveling to me. They are real pleasure and
full of excitement and bring fulfillments.
I have been traveling alone, joining the
Reliance group and the Malay
group tour. Several trips to USA and Europe
were with Reliance. There were more Chinese
than the other
races. Most of the time I was the only
Malay. Two or three with the mix group were
full of fun compared
to the Malay group, except for the New
Zealand tour where we have Dee, a TV
celebrity with us. We laughed and laughed
the whole
excursion
for Dee was a real joker. He made life so
very sweet and colorful.
Traveling alone means traveling solo, alone
not by anyone else. The most solo trip were
to Los Angeles California and Hawaii. I
relied on buses for my movements to places I
wanted to go. I also did a lot of walking to
find places and shops I
wanted. Year after year I would stay in the
same hotel, actually about 2 hours away from
LA. Here I have prawn and mutton briyani
almost everyday and I could do my own
laundry.
The advantage of going alone is I was my own
master. I controlled my own time and planned
where I
wanted
to go. If I were to be on the same bus at
almost the same time everyday, I would see
the same faces. The bus driver seemed to
know everybody. He asked me where I was from
when he saw a new face. Soon we became
friends. And when I wanted
to came home everybody bid me good bye and
wished me good luck. I can assure you that
the normal Americans are very friendly
people. At bus stops we talked to each other
as if we were old friends. I usually took 3
weeks for the solo trip to USA.
For many people, traveling has become a
hobby. My friends would visit places around
the world at the average of the 3 times a
year. I myself had been to Hanoi, Lombok and
Balkan at the lap of about one month
consecutively. It has to be something
otherwise they would not have gone spending
money. One friend used to say , "It's in my
blood."
Mine is nothing at all compared to those who
hitch hike, cycle or riding motor bikes
across continents which took them years and
years. They went against all odds, facing
hardship, thirst and hunger. A Malay cyclist
ended up in Balkan area and had a wife
there. These are special people with
magnanimous experience. They possess more
than what the ordinary traveler has.

GET NO
BENEFIT FROM BUDGET 2016
I don't benefit anything from budget 2016.
My pension is just a few ringgit above the
qualified BR1M recipients. What it means I
will be worse off then I am now. The
insurance for my Viva and the old Kancil
will be higher than the new big car. Rates
are increasing and costs of traveling by
public transport or by myself will be more.
But I will not blame the government and I am
not going to ask for more. What God has
given me is enough. The greatest gift of all
is good health. Some says that those who
made themselves near to God are the most
wealthy on earth.
To be honest, I did not watch PM Najib
delivered his budget speech. Neither did I
listen to the summary on national news. I do
not buy newspapers for many years to keep
myself informed. I fetched bits and pieces
by accident when I opened up the social
media like the Malaysian Insider.
I know that even after Najib's speech our
ringgit and our economy remain the same.
Foreign investors still do not trust DS
Najib's administration. They are moving
away. And the 2.6 billion dollar question
remained answered. Do we need a Bomoh (
shaman ) to heal our economic illness ?
As always there will be somebody gain,
somebody lose and somebody do not feel any
change. I won't howl for perfection because
I am a firm believer of the impossibility of
fairness.

SCHOOL
LEAVERS PROJECTS
I find
that there are people who would copy and
test the projects shown on the You-Tube.
Many said that those projects did not work,
particularly on matters of free energy.
What concerned me is the positive attitude
and the effort put to work on the project.
They were especially the school boys from
the United States. Young people should be
instilled with good ethics, the DIY culture
and creativity. Ralph Ring said that he
prefer the practical person to the thinking
one. To me one has to begin with thinking
and planning, then followed by materializing
what is on paper.
There was a man who experimented with radio
waves and found metals changed shape and
possessed the anti-gravity property. But he
could not explain how those frequencies had
caused the change in the metal property and
behavior. Ralp Ring would know both. A
person must have the basic knowledge of
physic and chemistry.
But the interest in doing experiments could
lead to the curiosity of wanting to know the
theoretical side of the resultant
behavior, and be more inquisitive to find
out more from existing literature. The
understanding and the depth insight will
open up to new inventions.
I believe that progress correlates with
intelligent, diligent and positive
attitudes. A nation full of beggars and
people who are lazy to work for something
will not achieve the desired economic
objectives. A consumer will never be better
than the producer.
I think every school children in this
country should know who
Tesla
was. The readers may want to try some of the
experiments
posted in the YouTube. Encourage you kids to
work on a few projects rather than allow
them to play with the computer games. Shops
that supply sciences stuffs to schools may
have some of the items that you may need.
Malaysia does have programs for youths and
school leavers of all sorts. At one time we
did hear of Rakan Muda subdivided into
several other Rakans. I don't know what has
happened to those. It is high time to form
the Rakan Sains & Teknologi throughout the
nations in every district to lure them into
the world of science and inventions. The
elders and retirees and other interested
members of the public should be welcome to
visit and contribute and help the young
experimenters.
That will surely be better than teaching
them how to lie or to get involve in dirty
politics.

Levitating
Transporters
Flying object that does not threaten
national security will soon hit the market.
At the initial stage it was sold at USD10000
a piece. All the 10 units available were
sold out within hours. There is one catch of
this hoverboard. It cannot levitate on all
surfaces. IT works on the non-porous
surface. One practical solution is to build
a park where the users can enjoy the cruise
like the ice skating hall. Probably in the
far future additional aluminum or copper
track could be built along the state roads
and the highways. The maximum width should
be about 5 feet.
Again as I have said that our government may
not allow the use of such a board like the
E-Bike. I don't think it is due to weird
technology but more on the politic of money,
the decision as who can be the importers.
You have to attach to UMNO to do the
lobbying.
Hendo admitted that the hoverboard is still
at the early stage of development.
Below is an article on Volkswagen hover car
for your perusal. Enjoy the reading.
Will
the car of the future look anything like
the car of today? According to
Volkswagen, it could look like a
floating doughnut. The VW Hover Car is
one of three concepts to come out of the
People’s Car Project the German company
company launched in China last year. It
was recently presented to the public at
the 2012 Beijing Motor Show.
The Hover
Car floats about a foot off the ground
and seats two. Right now, the hovering
bubble car is powered by CGI, but,
theoretically, thrusters on the back
would provide forward motion. Because of
the lack of friction, the Hover Car
could be very energy-efficient. It could
also turn on a dime, because it is
dime-shaped.
In
reality, the Hover Car would need
electromagnetic strips embedded in the
road to function. Electromagnetism would
repel the vehicle from the ground,
presumably the same way a mag-lev train
operates. The Hover Car can also drive
itself, since it will already be
following a pre-determined path.
VW did
not explain how the Hover Car will do
anything besides hover. Forward
propulsion will probably come from an
electric motor, since it would be hard
to find a small enough jet engine.
Volkwagen launched the People’s Car
Project to develop a new way to mobilize
the population. It was a way for the
company (whose name means “people’s car”
in German) to get back to its roots in
what it describes as its most important
market. Without electromagnetic roads,
the Hover Car is not technically
feasible, and VW doesn’t really care.
The point of the People’s Car Project
was to engage with Chinese customers.
“We are no longer just building
cars
for, but also with customers and at the
same time initiating a national dialog
which gives us a deep insight into the
design preferences, needs and
requirements of Chinese customers,” said
Luca de Meo, VW director of marketing.
Other
People’s Car Project entires include the
Music
Car, which changes its color based on
the driver’s
music
choices, and the Smart Key, a smart
phone that can also start a car and
monitor important functions.
Unlike
most concept cars, all three People’s
Car Project finalists are really just
concepts. VW crowd sourced China for
ideas and got the Hover Car, but would a
vehicle like that actually work? How
long would it take people to get used to
the idea of floating? The Hover Car
definitely stretches the definition of
“car,” and opens up a new range of
possibilities and problems to overcome.
Is the world ready for the day when
wheels become obsolete?

Levitating
Transporters
Flying object that does not threaten
national security will soon hit the market.
At the initial stage it was sold at USD10000
a piece. All the 10 units available were
sold out within hours. There is one catch of
this hoverboard. It cannot levitate on all
surfaces. IT works on the non-porous
surface. One practical solution is to build
a park where the users can enjoy the cruise
like the ice skating hall. Probably in the
far future additional aluminum or copper
track could be built along the state roads
and the highways. The maximum width should
be about 5 feet.
Again as I have said that our government may
not allow the use of such a board like the
E-Bike. I don't think it is due to weird
technology but more on the politic of money,
the decision as who can be the importers.
You have to attach to UMNO to do the
lobbying.
Hendo admitted that the hoverboard is still
at the early stage of development.
Below is an article on Volkswagen hover car
for your perusal. Enjoy the reading.
Will
the car of the future look anything like
the car of today? According to
Volkswagen, it could look like a
floating doughnut. The VW Hover Car is
one of three concepts to come out of the
People’s Car Project the German company
company launched in China last year. It
was recently presented to the public at
the 2012 Beijing Motor Show.
The Hover
Car floats about a foot off the ground
and seats two. Right now, the hovering
bubble car is powered by CGI, but,
theoretically, thrusters on the back
would provide forward motion. Because of
the lack of friction, the Hover Car
could be very energy-efficient. It could
also turn on a dime, because it is
dime-shaped.
In
reality, the Hover Car would need
electromagnetic strips embedded in the
road to function. Electromagnetism would
repel the vehicle from the ground,
presumably the same way a mag-lev train
operates. The Hover Car can also drive
itself, since it will already be
following a pre-determined path.

ANTI
GRAVITY MATERIAL
I think there is no available original
element on earth is of anti-gravity
material. But the scientists are now
successfully re-engineered the materials
that enable us fly very easily without noise
and without fuel. At the early stage an
American Chinese lady scientist who made the
discovery went missing which I believe being
put away by the American government as she
was talking about opening a private company.
America has law to make it unlawful for any
free individual to manufacture or market
projects and vehicles that can make people
fly using either alien technology or the
technology of levitation. Scientist in this
area who live could consider themselves
lucky. The United States government has this
technology but no one else will be allowed
to independently construct and market the
technology eg the flying Hoverboard.
Other than the security reason, the most and
foremost it is controlled by the American
lobbyists who run the oil and motor vehicle
industry. Petroleum industry will close shop
if people can fly using the cheap products.
The day will come when manufacturing
anti-gravity transportation objects will be
charged as terrorists.
You might want to peep into this old but
interesting technology by visiting
Ralp Ring Website.
The international Trade Lords who control
the TPP aren't good guys as some people
might have thought.
Who is Ralph Ring?
Ralph Ring is one of the
surviving members of a team of
technicians and scientists who
worked for legendary inventor,
Otis T Carr. Ralph has made
himself available for interviews
and appearances to discuss his
own experience working on Carr’s
team.
Carr, with his team, developed
an anti-gravitic
spacecraft based
upon direct tutoring he received
from Nikolai Tesla.
Carr learned many secrets from
Tesla, and much has been lost to
time, but there are those here
now, through this website who
are re-discovering the secrets
from Carr’s own mysterious
writings, and his patented
drawings.
Carr was ultimately shut down by
the US government, who asserted
that Carr was attempting to
overthrow the monetary system. “Cease
and desist your operations…
We’re terminating your project
due to the threats it poses to
the international monetary
system.” |
In this country we are not allowed on even
the E-Bike when it is allowed in other
countries like Vietnam, China and United
States. With the TPP our hands will be
securely locked. Who knows Malaysia may be
blessed with amazing genius who has ample
talent to produce anti-gravity material.
These people may even be murdered.
Somehow the public will get hold of the
anti-gravity board one day because it is so
cheap to produce.
Tonight when I go to bed, I want to put my
mind on the Free energy and an anti-gravity
engineering. But Ralph Ring had said what we
need are the practical men not the thinking
men. 1/1 billion chance of the dream comes
true, it is still a chance. Miracle can
happen.

FOOD FOR YOUR
THOUGHT
I have
always felt the turmoil and chaos in
Malaysia begun during the ear of Mahathir
who put the Prime Minister who is damned to
cause the final rupture to this country.
Below is the theory of our historical air
disasters. Try to relate it with Najib or
Rosmah in any way you can.
Could we
blame Najib for loving Israel so much ?
Surely Najib believes the Jews are more
superior to the Malays and could protect us
from military threats of China, Al-Queda or
IS. True indeed the Jews are smart. Najib
would never be able to deceive them as he
did to others.
What you
read here is only a theory. You can treat it
as an entertainment, nothing else.

FLYING
HOOVERBOARD
I felt jealous seeing inventors with their
inventions. Individuals, old and young,
would come up with something new. Big firm's
R & D is of course not a surprise. I believe
that the young minds can do anything if they
put efforts to make their imaginations come
to reality.
\
Levitation is not something new. Years
before there were talks on alien technology.
In fact there were stories that aliens are
among us, in the United States, working with
the United States government. But works on
maglev had been done by non-military
agencies. But when individuals are
successfully making things afloat and turn
them into a sort of vehicles, indeed it is
very intriguing.
In the pursuit of happiness one Chinese man
constructed a kind of quad copter as shown
below. He has 8
engines powered by normal gasoline. Each
propeller has to start manually. But I
immediately guessed that the machine won't
work because for a vertical levitation all
the propellers must run at equal speed. The
weigh from the center too must be equal all
round. Besides I wonder whether he did
compute the total weigh of his vehicle to
the power of the vertical thrust. It would
be better for him to construct a single
engine mini-copter. Whatever, he has the
will and the want. One day his machine will
surely fly.
Our government used to have a huge sum of
money for R & D. But we are not taught how
to go about doing the research work. We need
to have the equipments and the technology of
producing the research hard ware and soft
wares. We do not have the research culture.
Would it not be too harsh to say that we are
developing culture to protect the big time
criminals ? We employ the youths as cyber
troopers and list them in the propaganda
unit. We teach them how to be hooligans. We
consolidate our efforts to save our Prime
Minister. Najib prefer stupid and loyal
people to the smarter citizens.
I wish I were 18 again, so that I can pursue
in areas of invention and science on my own,
not depending on the government for
financial aid.
FAKE HOOVERBOARD
?
When invention
caught the eyes of National
Security there will be attempt
to stop the reproduction for
commercial purposes especially
when the technology is
detrimental to the security of
the nation. Hence whatever is
real will be claimed as fake.
The reproduction will stop. Back
to the future will have to take
some time. |

WINDOWS
TORTURE
ME
It
was more than 35 years ago that I was so
intoxicated with computer, indulging myself in
IRC chat and developing soft wares for personal
used. Time flew so fast that I hardly believe
that I am now 68. It was just recently when my
old laptop running Windows XP went haywire,
forcing me to go to computer shops looking for a
new laptop with XP. "We don't have Windows XP
now. All our machines are running on 64
bits.
We have Winows 8 and Windows 10," said the
vendors.
I
am so used with the Front Page in my writings
that I felt so lost and lamented on the cruel
changed in technology that could make many
computer enthusiasts impotent and frustrated. I
decided to do 2 things; to find a shop that can
make my laptop run again and secondly to buy
another machine with Windows 10. Articles that I
read said I can do many things with the Visual
Studio.
What it means is I need to teach myself starting
from the beginning on the new art of
programming.
Yesterday I went to the Mall to look for a
machine which I had been looking at before
running Windows 10. It wasn't there anymore. It
was sold away. I moved to another shop nearby.
There was no computer with Windows 10. All with
Windows 8. But written on the cards 'Free
Upgrade to Windows 10'. The salesman told me
that I have to do the upgrading by myself.
Instructions are given by the Hewlett Packard.
For RM1K it was worth buying, running on Intel
Celeron with 2 gig of RAM and 500 gig of hard
disk. All I need is the new Windows and the
Visual Studio.
Unfortunately for me my computer cannot download
Windows 10. I followed the instruction step by
step and it kept on saying 'the server is not
found'. I searched the web sites on the free
upgrading. There was no way that I could do it.
Three hours later I went back to the shop. The
vendor tried to download and install it. He was
unable to do it and told me to wait for a few
days. It will be updated automatically.
In
dismay I came home. I continued to search the
website, didn't look for the upgrading but the
downloading of Windows 10. I did not remember
what else I had done and what I typed. To my
surprise I came across the words 'download for
32 or 64 bits'. It took me to the download site
. It took about 5 hours for the whole process to
complete; downloading and installing. There was
no Visual Studio and no Office.
Again I went looking for Visual Studio download
site. I started at about 10 pm and completed at
about 3 am.
Today I explore the new Windows, click on icons
and saw new things. After so much of the
clicking time, I could not switch off my
computer. The machine hanged. I knew surely
there were several programs were running at the
background. I used my Android to find
similar problems faced by other users. Finally
the problem was resolve.
Tomorrow I will have to start reading on the
Visual Studio and start following the tutorial
step by step at a very slow phase. At this age
and a rusty mind I wonder whether I could
achieve my far distant target.
I
think Apple Mac would be a better choice in many
ways. But I need
to
buy knowledge on the new
Windows and the developer soft ware. The cost is
the price of the machine. I do plan to buy a new
Apple Mac that is better than the Mac Book. It
is expensive but you are paying for
satisfaction and peace of mind.
My
grand daughters can be sure that that they will
get Apple Mac on their birthdays.

PABLO ESCOBAR
I have just finished
watching another movie, Escobar The Lost Paradise. This
man, a cocaine trader, a drug kingpin was feared and
love by the Colombians. He was feared as he would kill
any man who opposed but loved by the poor as he built
houses and helped them. The police and the politicians
supported him. When he died his funeral was treated like
the funeral of a hero. The police and the government and
all others wanted to know who shot to kill him.
Escobar was born in December 1949 in
Antioquia Colombo. He controlled more than 80% of the
cocaine trade that was shipped to USA. He knew that the
United States was against him. He made use of the drug
money to gain support. Escobar was a king.
The Americans did not
claim they killed the drug kingpin. Escobar was killed
by the Colombian para-military group that acted on their
own- Another version said that Escobar had humiliated
the forces and officials of Colombian government and the
President formed a Special Force Unit to deal with the
kingpin. He was killed in 1993.
Escobar in one way was
someone like a Robinhood.
Instead of joining
politics and became a candidate he chose to remain the
life of the normal people and run his business. He could
even be a President if he were to be a politician
because the people saw him as a hero. If he were to be
one he would control the police and the army, the
judiciary and the Attorney General. His power would have
been unchallenged.
Would we pray for
someone like Pablo Escobar to pop up in this country so
that the poor would be helped with cash and other
goodies ? We need to know that at the end of time the
world be full of chaos; values are lost, the right and
the wrong disappeared and money has become king.
You may want to try
search for a movie called The Two Escobars, a
documentary depicting how the drug money was used in
Colombia's soccer. Pablo is an enthusiast in soccer. He
used to say 'Colombia National team must win or die'.
He would give handsome bonus if his team won. He would
also built soccer fields everywhere in the country.
When Escobar came to
know that USA was after him, he began a campaign to
harness for support. He won the support. He helped the
poor, building them houses, schools and hospitals. He
was even said as a messiah of God. Instead he went into
politics and won a seat. It was here when he went into
conflict with the Minister of Justice, Lara Bonilla.
Lara accused him as a dangerous drug lord. Lara was
murdered. The fight between Escobar and the President
continued.
Wonder why the movie
was called The Two Escobars ?
Another Escobar was
known as Andres Escobar, Columbian team player who shot
his own goal, and was murdered after the lost to the
United States. Andres Escobar was killed in 1993 after
the kingpin Pablo. They were not related.
The question was 'Was
drug cartel end after Pablo's dead ? ' Some blamed the
government paid for his death. Soccer players were
regarded as Pablo's men.
Colombian soccer went
dead because Pablo was dead.

OLD PEOPLE TALK
OF
HEALTH
Funny, when we are about to die we talked a lot
about heath. My contemporaries averaged between
65 to 75. Everyone I know discuss healthy food,
daily exercise, good sleep and pray for
longevity. While the young people simply do not
care about their health at all. They drink Coke
day and night, eat as much as they want and
smoke as much as they like.
I
take extra care to monitor my blood sugar almost
every morning. It is a very costly affair. I
bought the BP machine to know my BP situation. I
went for an evening walk daily and soaked myself
with sweat. At least I am glad now to see young
men are growing in numbers mostly jogging and
running.
No
matter what we do, we are going to die soon. We
know that. Instead we treat time as gold,
enjoying every moment of it, traveling and see
places, using the internet to share information
and jokes. Everyday I would receives postings
from the Whatsupp group, people who went to
Balkan and Hanoi's trip and all of them talked
about God and health. Today someone sent us an
information about cinnamon and cassia which look
the same, used in cooking. People tend to buy
cassia and thought it was cinnamon. The former
contains poison.
I
think not every old man wants to live forever or
want to take care of their health. Those with
problems prefer to die the fastest. Their own
children may create problems to them in many
ways. They will never bother to keep healthy nor
to have regular medical checkup.
Despite my effort to keep healthy, my mind is
getting worse. I forget things everyday.
Yesterday I had a tough time searching for my
smart phone. And I searched repeatedly at the
possible locations. I checked my pockets and on
my car seats, on all the tables, in bed and even
the garbage bin. None. At night I went for
another checking. Miraculously it was on my car
seat which I did not see on my three previous
searches.
And in one night when I was driving I suddenly
went blank. I did not know where I was. I had to
pull off and took a deep breath. Slowly it came
back to me. I began to realize my location.
That's not to talk about forgetting to close my
pipe, letting the water running down the tap for
hours. It did not happen once. It happened many
time.
Probably the brain cells have deteriorated. Some
went dead.
To
me health talk is still useful. It does not pose
any danger to anyone.
