CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
WHAT HAPPEN TO MY
HOBBIES ?
They are almost gone. I
think it is due to
ageing. Politics robbed
much fun from me. I
spent too much time
though I tried to avoid
it. The pull
was uncontrollable strong that I lost
so much free time to do
other things. I totally
stopped writing
programming codes for
computers. At one time I
made quite a substantial
sum of money developing
soft wares. Even if I
wanted to get involve
into it again my brain
is getting rotten.
The other hobby I used
to have was the Ham
Radio. I started it
around 1975 and I was
very unhappy with the
new policy. It has lost
much of the old essence
of the traditional
touch, in particular the
abolishment of Morse
codes. The new breed
brought in the new
values that many of my
radio friends pull
themselves away from the
hobby. The spirit and
the interest died down.
Only once in a blue moon
I would work a station
or two in Morse codes.
In school I played
chess, not as a school
player. But the school
chess team would always
take me with them
whenever they were
having competition in
Penang or in Perak. I
had had two sparring
partners, Lee Meng Khoon
and Lee Meng Soon, two
brothers who are now
medical doctors. I never
beat them. I became a
chess champion while in
Technical Teachers
Training College. Years
later I learned the
Chinese Chess and would
frequent a Chinese
medical shop just to
play the game with
another hobbyist. Today
I have lost touched with
the game. I remember I
played a couple of games
in Hawaii and won both
of the games. The
Hawaiian friend seemed
to be sad as I told him
that I was only a
visitor to the island
from Malaysia. It was a
pride moment for me.
Those were the three
main hobbies I used to
enjoy but has vanished
altogether.
What remain is writting
a blog in a language
that I never passed in
my life. I am not
ashamed to bulldoze my
fingers on this very
keyboard.
My memory starts to
fade. My mobility slows
down. I am 72 and going
73, living alone and
attending myself. I
don't regret to be as
what I am now. I find
time to entertain myself
with Youtube and
Whatsapp application
chatting with a few old
friends. I go and see
places whenever I have
the chance. On the
coming 14 I will be
leaving my home for
Ternate island in
Indonesia.
I never expect to be as
old as Dr Mahathir. If
God decides to take me
away I also would thank
the Almighty. God has
blessed me with
abundance beyond my
expectation. Thanks God.

THE DIRTY GAME PLAYED BY
NAJIB'S TEAM
(What I Think-my
conjecture)
The Master Planner is no
other than Shafiee the
lawyer. It was him who told
Najib and his family what to
do and what to say. The
family is told not to show
that they still have
billions kept outside the
country, which I think,
is in Australia or New
Zealand or both in ANZ Bank.
Also there are some people
who are keeping the money in
their home. Najib and the
family must show that they
are hard up of cash. Then
they are told to get the
people to be sympathize with
them, to paint PH as a cruel
government stressing the
authority stole the
chocolates and the shoes
belong to the grandchild,
freezing RM200 of the
grandchild bank account.
The Chief Justice, whose
wife is a girl guide and
closes to Rosmah Mansor,
chose the current judge
whose brother is a State
Executive Councillor of
Pahang and already showed
his sympathy to Najib
changing the bail from 4
millions to one million. He
issued the gag order.They
must have been close to
Shafiee who is known to be
bribing judges. So far many
of the judges decisions have
been favouring Shafiee.
He is trying to prove that
Najib is innocent because
Zetty approved the 2,6
billion in his account.
Najib's team is trying to
capitalize Tun Mahathir Rule
of Law policy by playing the
dirty game. They work day
and night planning to outwit
the law. They tried to make
MACC and the government
would not charge Najib on
the misuse of power on 1Mdb
by saying Najib did know
know what he signed for.
Why the gag order ? Because
the view put forward by some
of the members of the public
are very detailed and
comprehensive that even
escaped the authority sight.
In fact there are many cases
which the authority can
proceed with their actions
on Najib. They could have
considered the
circumstantial evidence that
Najib was a liar. This can
always be proven. Readers
have ben reminding the
government of a series of
Najib's lies from denying he
had 2,6 billion in his
account to donation from the
Arab. He lied about knowing
Saiful, Jho Lo and Altantuya.
It took him a few months to
come up with the donation
story. He lied in parliament
about the money in the
Singapore's bank. He lied
about the 1Mdb had been
making profit and sent
people to make pilgrimage.
BUT WHAT DOES THE AUTHORITY
DONE ABOUT THIS ?
To kill Najib and UMNO is to
kill Shafiee, CJ and all of
Najib's men in judiciary.
It looks like Najib's team
is winning.

THE CRIME IS DONE
Once a crime is committed it
is done. It cannot be erased
just by paying compensation.
A thief steal someone's
money and was later caught.
He cannot claim innocence by
returning the money to the
owner. Things would have
been different if the law of
tradition (hukum adat) is
the law of the land. Hukum
Adat may allow the murder to
clear his crime by paying 10
cows, a piece of land and
ten thousand dollars to the
victim's family. Similarly
if a man rape a young girl,
a crime has been done. He
must be brought to court to
face punishment. He cannot
squash his crime by marrying
the girl.
Zahid Hamidi claimed he made
a mistake and the money was
returned. Najib claimed he
had returned the 2,6 billion
in his account years later
after he was caught. That do
not mean they are good and
clean. The law must looked
into the matter without
dismissing them. And
remember people burnt and
destroyed evidence, created
a new fake ones and altered
dates and facts in the
documents. Only through
verbal questions and answers
we could derive whether
those evidences are fake or
not.

WITH NAJIB GONE
I thank God the Almighty for
putting away Najib Razak as
a Prime Minister of
Malaysia.
I cannot describe my joy and
happiness as the fear of
Najib selling away this
country to China dissipated
together with the kind of
Prime Minister I ever came
across in my life.
Immediately I spent less on
many of my consumptions as
Najib's GST went down from
6% to 0%. I paid less for my
mineral water, internet bill
and other utility. At least
20 million of us have never
tasted the luxury life of
Najib and his family who
could taste a few thousand
ringgit beef per kilo and
stayed in a palatial home,
flying all over with
comfortable jet for shopping
spree.
Sorry I won't support Najib
who sucked the blood of the
poor without any
consideration, pity nor
remorse. He gave out cash
with 'You Scratch My Back As
I Scratch Yours'. The
recipients of 1Mdb were
asked to vote for BN, a
clear indication of
corruptions and insincerity.
With Najib gone our
generation will have not to
bear the burden of paying
the GST for their whole
life.
Eli
Surayati Dan Penyokong Najib
Di Mahkamah
I don't think people will go
back to UMNO anymore. The
Malays have lost their lands
already and left nothing
more with them as a result
of the party. Now Zahid, who
is regarded as a gangster,
is leading a party for
destruction. They are now
having Bersatu to lean to.
Even if PH disappear and
break apart, Bersatu and PAS
will continue to exist.
Najib and the few of his
supporters seen in the above
TV are like frog under a
coconyt shell. They don't
know majority of the people
will not follow their ways
anymore.
Now read the following
remark. Is his true ?
05/07/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
|
THE SACKING OF TOP UMNO
MEMBERS
Najib always asked his
followers to be loyal to
him. When the 1Mdb crisis
came into fore he stressed
more on the importance of
loyalty to him rather than
to UMNO. Hesacked Mahyuddin
for asking about the
sovereign fund. Weeks and
months later the UMNO
members were cursing Najib's
former deputy for splitting
UMNO and the Malays which
was a pure contradictions of
the events. Then went
Shafiee Afdal, Mukriz, and
Khairuddin. Never did he
divulge to anybody about the
2.6 billion that went into
his personal account in
2008. Only in 2015 the story
ballooned after the WSJ's
exposure. When cornered it
took almost 3 months for him
to claim that it was a
donation.
Najib should have not sacked
Mahyuddin and other top
party members if the money
was a donation. Instead they
could have worked together
to resolve any problem that
might have been arisen. From
then on UMNO began to split.
The grassroots were unhappy
when their leaders started
to pack. Najib threatened to
put these people under graft
charges. Among all these BN
loyalists, Shafiee Afdal was
the most patriotic and had
been defending BN
aggressively.
Najib tried to sustain
support through "CASH IS
KING" and "YOU SCRATCH MY
BACK AND I SCRATCH YOURS".
He adopted racial card to
split the Malays and the
Chinese while quietly his
MCA and Gerakan men spread
different things to the
Chinese. At the same time he
not only imposed GST and
giving much freedom to his
spouse to use the
government's jet for
shopping spree.
I asked many Malay friends
about Najib and almost
everyone of them said "Najib
put his self and family
interest first before the
party's interest". The call
for loyalty to him rather
than to UMNO made the masses
saw the real Najib.
By sacking the top UMNO
leaders Najib created an
enemy within in addition to
the enemy without. I did
quipped to some of my
friends that only UMNO
members themselves could
destroy Najib. It is hard to
assess as to the damage
caused by his enemy within.
But in my state of Kedah the
role of the UMNO members who
campaigned against Najib
could be pictured by the
number of seats UMNO won.
UMNO won only 3 state seats.
Niobody dared to advise
Najib anymore for fear of
bad repercussion. Khairy
Jamaluddin claimed that he
knew the feeling of the
masses but chose to keep it
in his heart. I won't blame
him for keeping mum just to
save himself. If Najib had
not shown his viciousness
against his own UMNO members
probably KJ would have told
him what really had
transpired.
And none ever advise Ku Nan
to restrain from his hunger
to strike off the top UMNO
members and cast them in the
well of no abyss.
Najib reaps what he sows. |
04/07/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
BETWEEN THE POWER OF
NAJIB AND THE POWER OF GOD
Najib was once the most
powerful man and feared by
many as the nature of Kevin
Morais's death brought fear
to many government officers
and whistle blowers. Though
once people hated Mahathir,
the later did not kill or
being a suspect of murdering
anyone. I even theorize the
unfair judgment on Anwar
Ibrahim in the sosomy2 trial
led to the missing MH370 as
the pilot was angry with the
court and Najib.
What happens has happened.
There is no ifs and buts. I
was about to say the bad
luck aura brought by Rosmah
Mansor, a second hand wife
who had been a subject of
gossiped even when she was
in the local university. How
could Najib married with
such a used woman, a
braggart and a recalcitrant.
and haughty woman.
I heard that Rosmah has
unbelievable number of
mirrors with her. It took
three bags to carry those
mirrors when she recently
took a break in Langkawi.
Najib must have been
believing in the power of
those mirrors as well. That
made them so very arrogant
and to continue doing what
the rakyat pleaded them to
stop.
But Najib thought he was
very powerful enough without
challenged. He was even
elevated to the level of
God, "If anyone disobey
Najib he is disobeying God."
Others claimed he was God's
chosen. And he came to
believe in himself of his
invincibility. He bullied
Mahathir, called Dr Hasmah
to Bukit Aman, sent his
gangsters to cause havoc at
Tun Mahathir's speech,
stopped Tun from making
speeches, ban the party,
disallowed the display of
Mahathir's image throughout
the country, threatened and
arrested his critics. He
tried to get into the good
book of American Presidents,
boasted of his greatness
over and over again.
I saw money being given away
massively to the voters
everywhere. Each person was
paid between RM50 to RM250.
We could not have guessed
the total amount.
Looking at Najib's machinery
and his absolute power
nobody in Malaysia ever
believed that BN would fall.
But Najib is just a man.
Many believed that only on
God's will Najib could be
defeated. I believe the same
thing. He and his gangs were
arrogant enough. The biggest
mouths came from his deputy,
Anuar Musa, Salleh Keruak,
Rahman Dahlan and Nazree
Aziz.
They didn't seem to remember
God. |

MONEY LAUNDERING
Wikipedia
Money
laundering
is the act of concealing the
transformation of profits
from illegal activities and
corruption
into ostensibly "legitimate"
assets.[1]
The dilemma of illicit
activities is accounting for
the origin of the proceeds
of such activities without
raising the suspicion of law
enforcement agencies.
Accordingly, considerable
time and effort is put into
devising strategies which
enable the safe use of those
proceeds without raising
unwanted suspicion.
Implementing such strategies
is generally called money
laundering. After money has
been suitably laundered or
"cleaned", it can be used in
the mainstream economy for
accumulation of wealth, such
as acquisitions of
properties, or otherwise
spent. Law enforcement
agencies of many
jurisdictions have set up
sophisticated systems in an
effort to detect suspicious
transactions or activities,
and many have set up
international cooperative
arrangements to assist each
other in these endeavors. In
a number of legal and
regulatory systems, the term
"money laundering" has
become
conflated
with other forms of
financial
and
business
crime,
and is sometimes used more
generally to include misuse
of the financial system
(involving things such as
securities,
digital
currencies,
credit cards, and
traditional currency),
including
terrorism
financing
and evasion of
international
sanctions.[2]
Most anti-money laundering
laws openly conflate money
laundering (which is
concerned with
source
of funds) with terrorism
financing (which is
concerned with
destination
of funds) when regulating
the financial system.[3]
You cannot say that you
don't know how the money
comes into your account. And
you can't say you do not
know the source of the
money, legal or not.

LOSING MY SANITY WITH PAS
What made the Malays so
thoughtless as shown by the
members of Islamic political
party ? Even the normal
voters do not indicate that
they depend on their entire
emotions and sentiments when
talking and arguing. We all
do remember the party
members were having a
special prayer seeking God's
help to destroy Pakatan
Harapan that came out as a
winner in the GE14. And they
blazoned the news of Hadi's
winning the court case
against Sarawak Report and
everyone of them celebrated
when things are not over
yet. Now they are saying the
new government fails.
PAS believed in Arulkanda
and praised 1Mdb for it's
success. I am sure they
still believe 1Mdb is making
profit and Najib does not
steal the money. You hear
the flip flop from Hadi.
Actually what Hadi needs is
the lawyer fee to pay the
unsettling case in London.
Since UMNO will not do the
funding, Hadi is looking for
the oil money.
The oil money is for the
people not for Hadi Awang.
If he wants to settle his
lawyer fee he must raise the
fund through donation. If he
were to lose the case and
the government somehow
recovers the money, it shows
PAS has been lying to the
people about accepting
corruption from UMNO.
The penalty is to cut all
the PAS members' tongues.
It is not my law. That's the
kind of law the party wants.
I don't oppose Hudud. PAS
should execute the law in
Kelantan and Trengganu
without having have to get
approval from the infidel
government. God must come
first. PAS is to fear God,
not men.
The members have been
cursing and condemning the
non-Malays as infidels. DAP
has been the main target.
Yet they go to infidels'
shops and supermarkets to
buy goods. They don Western
dress and fill their houses
with goods and commodities
made by the infidels.
PAS claims seizures linked
to Najib to cover up
Harapan's 'failures'
PAS vice-president Iskandar
Abdul Samad claimed that
the police
seizure of
cash and luxury items valued
at up to RM1.1 billion from
properties linked to former
premier Najib Abdul Razak
was an attempt to divert
attention from Pakatan
Harapan's "failures"
"Their failure to fulfil
their election promises
means the rakyat's attention
must be diverted.
"The attempt to link the
seizure of cash and luxury
goods to Najib has become
the main news in an effort
to cover up the failure to
reduce fuel prices, abolish
tolls, reduce the cost of
living and other failures,"
he said in a statement
published on PAS organ Harakahdaily.
Iskandar's statement was in
response to calls by Amanah
to probe whether PAS
received any 1MDB-linked
funds.
Amanah Youth deputy chief
Faiz Fadzil had pointed out
that PAS and Umno had a
cordial relationship prior
to the May 9 general
election and questioned if
PAS had received any
1MDB-linked money from Umno.
This was amid the freezing of
Umno's accounts on suspicion
that misappropriated funds
from 1MDB had ended up in
its accounts.
Najib's family had also been
accused of being a
benefactor of
misappropriated 1DMB funds,
a claim he denies.
Iskandar accused the
government of trying to
paralyse the opposition with
the freezing of bank
accounts.
"Harapan's position is not
strong. Those who voted for
Harapan, particularly Umno
members, could abandon them
anytime.
"Therefore, one solution for
Harapan is to ensure that
PAS and Umno cease to exist
by deregistering them," he
claimed.
Iskandar claimed that
Harapan received less than
50 percent of the votes in
the last general election
and its Malay support did
not reach 30 percent.

This makes us suspicious that PAS indeed did receive a part of the 1MDB loot as alleged by Sarawak Tribune and is party to the crime. We the Rakyat are very satisfied with Harapan and are willing to wait longer and extend the period to meet their election pledges. We are very satisfied with Harapan and TDM. PAS is not a religious party if it cak support the crime of kleptocracy and be a part of such a crime. Not only dishonest but also foolish to think the Rakyat are stupid like them. The should stay in the backward states where their supporters are gullible and naive.

MALAYSIA HAS TO SEEK FOR
INTERNATIONAL HELP TO
RECOVER THE MONEY
The authority must further
investigate Sarawak Report
article on the loot made by
Najib and kept in foreign
bank. The stolen fund must
be recovered and put back in
our national coffer. In my
opinion in such a magnitude
of stolen money, torture
needs to be applied on the
ex-Prime Minister.
It is just about right that
Zahid is being elected as
UMNO's president and being
investigated over some
crimes and corruption. The
former Puteri UMNO's chief
took a bold step to quit the
dirty party. Zahid is well
known as a gangster by many
members of the public. |
01/07/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
WHAT'S NEXT
Najib is now defending
himself with full of
contradictions. He will not
escape incarceration. "If I
have known 1Mdb was bad I
would have done ......"
Instead of divulging it to
his Deputy Prime Minister he
sacked them. If things were
all perfect as he believed
it to be he would have
discussed it with Mahyuddin
and allowed the parliament
to fully know about it. He
sacked Ghani Patail and
probably killed Kevin Morais,
arrested critics and sacked
or transferred investigators
and putting the audit report
under OSA. He instructed
Apandi to say that 1Mdb was
perfect.
Then he said he did not know
what he signed for. Yet he
claimed he did not authorize
the purchase of the yacht
and the pink diamond. It
means he was aware of what
he signed.
He insisted that the 2.6
billion was a donation from
Saudi Kings. When DOJ proved
that the money from 1Mdb, he
blamed the officers for
putting the money into his
account without his
knowledge, which will kill
the story of donation. Najib
is a great liar.
A government officer would
have gone to jail even a
dollar missing in the cash
box. He faced incarceration
for a slight negligence.
Jail term is imminent as
sure as the sun will rise
tomorrow. |

WHAT'S IN THEIR HEADS ?
It was Friday yesterday.
After the prayer the
congregations were rushing
for home. I was rushing for
my dinner. At the junction
there was a traffic light.
As it was red I stopped. But
the motorbikes did not. The
riders were all those people
from the mosque. Surely they
were breaking the traffic
rule for running the red
light. To me it was an
uncalled demeanour for
people who just completed
their prayer.
That was not all. After my
dinner, also at a traffic
light. It was green but the
car in front did not move. I
waited about 15 seconds. It
still did not not move and I
have horn it. As the car
moved I overtook it and
noticed the driver was a
Haji.
I wonder whether you have
the same experience driving
across the pious and holly
people in front of you. You
tend to follow a 20 mph
motion where it should have
been 60 mph when there was a
clear traffic on the road
ahead.
Could it just be a
co-incidence ?
I am not a pious Muslim
though I observed my daily
prayers, avoiding sins,
giving alms and fast during
the Ramadzan. I did not do
things that would disgrace
my religion.
|
SORRY
NO UMNO
No matter what I won't go
for UMNO anymore. The people
in the party never change.
The choice of Zahid clearly
shows their mindset.
Zahid is well known for his
gangsterism. He talks like
one and behave the same way.
Today, when we are
struggling to put our
economy in order as a result
of the spoils done by Najib
the UMNO refuse to donate
for the Tabung Harapan
Negara. Instead they
complaint of the
non-compliance of the new
government. |
30/06/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
Najib: I did not
authorise public funds
to buy diamonds, yacht,
I have 'sterling record'
Najib is now declaring
that he is very
systematic in doing
things. He knows when
the and what he signed
for. The other day he
said he did not know
what he signed things
for. This is the flip
flop of Najib.
If you study all of his
speeches you will notice
contradictions in his
statements. Long before
the GE14 I pointed out
one of his
contradictions in a
single line of his
speech "Malaysia is the
wealthiest country in
this region with GDP
today but it was
Mahathir who pulls our
economy down.." He
claimed the country was
forever excellent in her
economic standing till
the time of his speech
yet he blamed Tun for
the bad time.
The above statement of
"I did not authorize'
implies other documents
were authorized by him
and he was aware about
them all the time. He
was not dumb but
systematic in keeping
watch of the use of
public funds.
As I said before about a
murderer who blame his
hand for the shooting
"arrest my hand not me"
stuff. He used the same
argument when money was
found in his account
"prove that I steal the
money". In my argument I
asked Najib to proof
that his father f**k his
mother to get him.
If 1Mdb money is being
misused it is Najib who
is responsible and
accountable. The case
was brought out by DOJ
even before his
downfall. He never took
any step to recover
whatever the misuse of
the fund. In fact he
asked Arulkanda to lie
to the whole of
Malaysian people by the
roadshow saying 1Mdb is
clean. Even Apandi said
there was nothing wrong
with 1mdb.
And Najib should have
taken legal action
against the WSJ and the
DOJ which he did not.
These dirty people had
been trying to hoodwink
the DOJ, trying to spin
things around. But they
failed. And they are
trying to do it the
Malaysians as well. They
will talk about
donations and gifts from
parents, friends and
governments. They tried
to disinformed the
public by claiming
leakage letter from
Saudi King that Najib
was free to use the
money in anyway he
wants. Then saying
another leakage mails
about Najib being conned
by the Arabs.
The former World Bank
boss called Najib a
CROOK not without
reason.
At one time he tried to
play ignorance but at
another time he was
telling the world he was
systematic and did not
approved 1Mdb fund to
buy a yacht or a
diamond.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, Najib
Razak, whatever prompted
you to seek or agree to
interviews with the
media and especially
Malaysiakini? Going by
what you express during
these occasions, you do
yourself no favour at
all, in fact they lead
to more long knives
being drawn out. On the
matter of 1MDB, placing
the AG's Report under
OSA was not your only
major snafu - you rained
manna on your critics,
you dismissed others,
and the entire
investigation heading
into tempestuous waters
was terminated.
Remember? Or are you
again going to claim you
were misinterpreted?
The PAC never cleared
you of any wrong-doing,
at best it was
work-in-progress which
you did not permit to
continue until
fruition. Where it
suits you, you deny any
knowledge of issues
right under your nose
and yet in the very next
breath you make directly
contradictory
statements.
Malaysiakini has been
accused of treating you
with kid-gloves;
actually, there was no
need for them to
unsheath the daggers,
you were doing a great
job on your own. It
must be a small mercy
that the interviews have
come to an end.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Najib ,the Parliament is
the best place for you
to debate on what you
are claiming after
losing GE 14. Why was
the Speaker muzzled
from allowing any debate
on 1 MDB. In a
democratic Govt. this is
the only place where
elected representatives
discussed and debated in
the open. You muzzled
every authority until
the new PAC chairman
deleted the bit about
Goodstar.The progress
made by the previous PAC
was stymied by its
intentional disruption
by removal of some
members including the
Chairman when things
started getting hot.The
AG was systematically
removed. The task force
was systematically
dismantled. I wonder how
you did that so
smoothly. So you
calculated, planned and
knew exactly what you
were doing to free
yourself after the
thieving and fraud was
discovered. Dont tell us
you knew nothing about
Goodstar. Why was this
incriminating detail
about Goodstar deleted
from the PAC report.The
DOJ reports further
exposed the money
laundering and thieving
of money from 1 MDB, and
yet you never rebutted
and remained silent as
if you were not aware,
but you took action
through your lawyers on
anything 1MDB to stymie
investigations. Were you
hoping that by winning
the elections ( by
dubious means) all this
illicit money
laundering, thieving by
your associates
including your stepson
would be conveniently
swept under the carpet.
I am just guessing, but
by the highly
questionable behaviour
shown during the pre GE
14 period , there would
have been a high
probablity that you have
disbanded the opposition
parties and jailed any
opposition member who
would have dared to
implicate you .I shudder
to think what would have
happened to Malaysia had
BN won GE14. Now you put
on a sympathetic face
with Malaysiakini,
Reuters and expect the
Rakyat to buy your sob
story and vindicate
you.Nice try Najib. You
are only fit to spend
time in Bamboo River
Resort, a long long time
I mean.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So much talks about
"1MDB's Rationalisation
Plan". Najib and Arul
never fail to bring up
THE PLAN every time they
were questioned about
1MDB. Even PAS got on
board on The Plan. PAS
were convinced and very
happy with The Plan. And
yet until today we still
do not know what is The
Plan. Can
I-don't-know-anything
Najib or Arul brief us
on what exactly is 1MDB
Rationalisation Plan. Or
is there such a plan in
the first place?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t think so anyone
really want to hear his
explanations right now.
What goes around comes
around. The moment you
went ‘kepala otak kau’...
as a politician , you
failed to respect the
elders. The moment you
started firing and
jailing people who spoke
against you, we knew
something fishy had
happened and it’s all
coming out now.. one by
one ..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the scandals got
into public, you freeze
the agencies and
authority action. Sacked
ministers, transferred
agencies head and
retired AG and all those
involved. Audit report
and PAC report - OSA
them. Not you said you
don't know and worry
opposition will spin the
negative about 1MDB. Wah,
what a case study for
what you have said..How
to win your case!! You
are going to jail lah.
Be prepared Najib. |

KEADILAN IS DREAMING
Anwar Ibrahim is living in a
dream world, thinking he is
still the most popular man
and the recent PH victory
was due to his charismatic
ability. When I and my
friends went to vote we
never thought of Anwar or
Keadilan. We voted for the
symbol PH and in our mind we
saw Tun Dr Mahathir. I can
bet with the current greed
for posts that neglects the
aspiration of the Rakyat PH
will be for only one term.
I can guarantee that if Tun
Mahathir is made to live
till a hundred years a new
party, minus Keadilan will
take over the country. Anwar
Ibrahim may not even win the
election that will take
place soon, even though in
Permatang Pauh. If he dares
he just compete in any place
at all, not necessarily of
his wife or daughter's
constituency.
The donation to Tabung
Harapan which has reached
above a hundred million
ringgit shows the citizens
are very concern about the
welfare of their country.
95% of the Chinese want a
better Malaysia under Tun
Mahathir, not under Keadilan.
The voters are getting fed
up with the squabbling of
posts and ministers. They
are waiting for the next GE
to throw Anwar and his
company out, even Wan Azizah
and Nurul will not be given
a chance anymore.
I see a very slim chance
that Anwar will be the next
PM. He needs only all Malay
voters to vote for him which
I doubt. They would reject
him not as they have
rejected UMNO but they don't
like the greed they see in
Keadilan.
With the new Malaysia, the
Malays must stand on their
own feet without taking any
from the non-Malays. They
must finance their own
economy and education. Sadly
enough they had made a good
start but it went dead
within a year due to the
stupidity and the ignorance.
I still do not hear any from
the present establishment
the creative way to build
what is termed fairness by
the other race.
I hope anybody who read my
article on Tabung Ekonomi
Islam would viral the
concept to the new leaders.

THE MALAYS ARE STILL
SLEEPING
The Malays are still
thinking of Ketuanan Melayu,
Tanah Melayu and everything
Melayu. I can't say what is
in their heads. They want to
be called Tuan when they are
working in the Chinese shops
and firms, buying everything
from the Chinese, can't
afford to live in a million
ringgit bungalows. In a
schools where 95% of the
students are Malays, those
who get 9,10 and 11 As in
SPM public examination are
the Chinese. What are they
talking about ?
They forgot that Tanah
Melayu isn't here anymore
for a long long time ago. It
is not only it is being
replaced with Malaysia, the
ownerships of the land
belong to the Malays are
being reduced too. Even
today thousands of Malays
are selling their land away.
How much land had been taken
away by UMNO associates and
sold away to the big time
developers.
And the Malays do not know
the Chinese students could
write and speak a better
Malay than they are. I was a
teacher in Kiet Hwa school
and I know how well the
Chinese could master the
Malay language.
I am not talking of a
paradigm shift. There are
new venues the Malays must
look for the betterment of
all races which we have
coiled under one name,
Malaysians. There are ways
that we can work together
and solve common economic
and social problems. If we
go the right way there is
without doubt that a
prosperous Malaysia can be
built up.
The Malays will never
progress merely by talking
and cursing the others.
There will be no time for
them to entertain their bad
hearts if they focus
themselves on designing
technology, thinking the
best ways to reduce the
financial burden of the
country and concentrate how
to enhance the social and
economic dignity without
taking money from the other
ethnic Malaysians.
It is a high time for the
Malays to wake up. I tell
you, they can abandon UMNO
for the myopic and narrow
minded vision.

26/06/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
CHINESE MUSLIMS
Islam does not belong to the
Malays. This particular
ethnic group tend to think
the non-Malays are not in
their group. One day the
owner of the Nasi Tomato I
always frequent to
emotionally lamented to me
about one Haji who accused
of displaying a picture of
Medina mosque mainly to
attract customers, accusing
Majeed as a Hindu. I could
see his sorrowful face, for
I knew he contributed so
much for his local mosque in
India.
There are thousands of
Chinese Muslims in Kuala
Lumpur with the Chinese
names unknown to the Malays,
including the UMNO and PAS
politicians.
In fact the Muslims in China
are more than what we have
in Malaysia. I would say it
is about 100 millions, who
speak Arabic and write in
Arabic alphabets.
Muslim marriage in China
Muslim Street Food in China
Students learn Arabic
Chinese Muslims celebrate
Eid al Fitr 2018 in Qinghai
I am not siding the Chinese,
especially Lim Guan Eng. The
persistent and consistent
attack on him by PAS and
other UMNO members, calling
him as infidel and
anti-Islam was too much. Was
it because he spoke aloud
against Hudud ? Even the
Malays too were not in
favour of the law.
Those people who call
themselves Muslims must show
good example. I am not wrong
to conclude that Najib stole
1Mdb's money because he did
not sue WSJ and DOJ for
calling him a thief,
defaming him to the whole
world about him. He bribed
people by his own words "YOU
SCRATCH MY BACK AND I
SCRATCH YOURS. MONEY IS
KING." He lied. He sacked
those who asked him about
1Mdb. In short he did not
follow one bit of Islamic
practice. The heads of
Islamic party sided and
defended him. UMNO and the
supporters were no pillar of
Islam.
Islam is never a hooligan
nor a terrorist. Just listen
to Nazri, Zahid, Jamal and
even Khairy. They made Islam
very repulsive to the people
of other religions.

THINKING OF
BUYING AN E-BIKE
I saw a lot of people were
on the E-bike in Vietnam and
China. But Malaysia still
ban this mode of vehicles
giving various reasons for
the prohibition. Are the
thinking of our leaders
superior to the Chinese and
the Vietnamese ? During the
last tenure of Tun Mahathir
he rejected the Tut-Tut
because of the pollutions of
sound and black smoke. But
there isn't any air
pollution given out by the
e-bike.
The bicycles are still
assembled and sold in some
of the shops. It is a risk
to ride it on the state
road. It is safer to have it
in rural areas. You can't
ride it to town for there is
no poarking place for it.
Anyone could just take it
away as if it belongs to
them.
It will save transportation
cost and it overcomes the
problem of public
transportation. In our area
there isn't any bus service
for years as it does not
yield profit to the
operators. Therefore one has
to have at least a bicycle
or a motor cycle. Between a
normal bicycle and and an
e-bike the later is
more comfortable for riders
of all ages.

TRUSTING THE MALAYS
Don't blame me if I don't
trust the Malays. I have had
many bitter experiences with
them. I am not going to
describe the events one by
one but I know many of you
would have had similar
encounters. I learn that it
is more comfortable to be
alone and be myself.
It is hard to find really
good fellows nowadays,
people who do not exploit
and capitalise on the
kindness and weakness of the
others, people are are
sincere, honest and can be
trusted. Just imagine a
person who knocks your car
blaming and attack you for
his knocking, a person who
owes you money spreading
news about you running away
with his.
Malay politicians are the
worst kinds from all the
parties, Islamic or
non-Islamic. They stole,
lied and condoned crimes.
They craved for posts and
positions, and fought for
their personal welfare
rather than the welfare of
the people.
We don't have to have
millions or billions to be
happy and achieve life
fulfilment. We don't have to
put sadness and burden on
other people. We don't have
to cheat. steal or lie.
To be honest and sincere
does not mean we have to say
YES to every demand and
request. We can still be
staunch and stern but fair
and considerate.
There may be bad people from
all other races. But there
weren't any Chinese who ran
away with my money or
ignored my sick wife when
she fell at public places,
who came to beg while seeing
me strugling to transfer my
wife from my car onto the
wheel chair, who knocked my
car and blamed me for his
act.
However I do come across
arrogant Chinese and
arrogant Malays. As usual I
had wished them to turn into
ashes and disappear from the
earth surface. My long time
experience in office were
those on the higher grade
officers. One of my
contemporaries, a lady
bluntly said in one meeting,
"You people look upon us
like ants and you step on us
without any feeling of guilt
and morose." They were so
political that they had the
guts to treat us like
slaves. I was sent to a
computer course to learn
Visual Basic when they
already knew I had written
volumes of coding and won
several national school
awards. It was merely an
insult. These Malay echelon
groups look upon their
subordinates with contempt.
I met a few of them from
time to time. At least I
write blog, playing with
Morse codes on the ham band,
publishing movie clips
captured with my drones,
travel and see places
throughout the world and
proudly able to serve my
country by my donation to
the Trust Fund. I even have
a plan to make my own
man-carried-drone.
The Malays still do not have
wisdom in themselves. They
let their emotions rule them
and appeal to the sentiments
in making decisions. It is
not that they do not have
education and money but God
is not with them when they
show their arrogance and
despicable behaviours,
thinking that they are the
best kind ever created in
the universe. Najib Razak,
in particular even tried to
bribed God by using the
stolen money to Mecca to
perform pilgrimage.

TERNATE IS MY NEXT
DESTINATION
In school we were told about
one of the spice islands
visited by Portuguese and
Dutch. At that time when I
looked at the island it was
just a dot on a piece of
paper. I never expect to be
there at all until my friend
asked me whether I am
interested in going to see
the place.
There will be 5 of us going,
departing KLIA on the 15th
July and arriving home on
the 20th. I have no choice
but to leave my home a day
earlier and resided at Tune
Hotel for a night as the
flight will be at 7.50am.
From KLIA we will go to
Makassar and stayed a night
before taking a Batik Air to
Ternate the next morning. At
Ternate we will stay for 3
nights.
I decide not to take my
drone alone to be on the
save side. It might be
confiscated by the
Indonesian authority, or I
may break the Indonesian
law. I will try to bring
only one bag only. Tomorrow
I will have to start to make
my preparation and it will
keep me busy a little.
In fact I
planned to go to Surabaya
and Lombok in Julai with a
tour agency. But the travel
agency cancels the trip. I
hope they will not cancel
the Silk Route Tour to China
in September. I had had
missed this tour before due
to their cancellation.
probably it was to the lack
of quorum.
This decision
is a sudden one and with a
short notice too.
I have sorted
out what to bring with me.
This time only one small bag
stuffed in it about 12 soft
T-shirts.

MAS TRYING TO BLUFF
We strangest do not check in
baggage under any Dick, Tom
and Harry's name. There was
a reading of excess baggage
under Najib's name. It does
not make any sense. Somebody
was trying to bluff the
public and the authority. Do
you buy it ?
In a group travel nowadays
luggage are checked in one
by one according to the
ticket. If there is any
excess the owner has to pay
for the excess. Even if a
group is allowed to check in
together, any excess will
still have to be paid. The
tour leader never like to
pay and will seek the ones
that carries extra weight.
MAS was trying to bluff it's
way through. |

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT
OLD YET
I saw young people doing
selfie with their old folks
especially during the
festive season of Edil Fitri,
and posted the pictures on
the Youtube and Whatsapp.
There is a vast different in
the facial outlook, between
the young ones and the elderlies. What was not seen
was the remarks in their
hearts.
I always think I am capable
enough to take care of
myself. I keep myself fit by
going to evening walk for
about 4 to 5 miles a day. I
manage my money well without
depending on my kids.
Despite my bad hearing and
forgetting things from time
to time I can do much what the
younger people could not.
Some of the younger people
like to shout, yell and
scold their old parents. And
you may see them how they
treat the old folks in
public. Even officers and
young doctors have some form
of thought on their ageing
patients. I am little
cheeky. I always asked my
doctor whether they have
ever checked their own Blood
Pressure status and talked
about the danger of statin.
The facts remain, I could
read their minds on what
they thought about me.
Sometimes I said out
directly out, "Wait till you
become old." Now I want you
to imagine when you become
old. There are wrinkles on your
face and neck, paint in your knee
joints, and you feel weak
and tired. Then the doctor
tells you that you have a
diabetes, you cholesterol is
high and your kidney is bad.
At 40+ you think you have to
start to do a face job using
expensive creams. By the
time you cross 50 you skin
begins to lose it's
smoothness. At nearing 60
you will be telling yourself
to live with your age. Once
you reach the 70th serie
then you will remember how
you treat your elderly
parents. What if you fall
sick at 50 and your parents
are too weak to look after
you ? If you have a spouse,
you wish your partner will
nurse you. As the Buddhist
says KARMA will determine
your fate. The Muslims talks
about comeuppance.
If you think you are great
and perfect, just wait till
you grow old. |

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIEVES
1. My neighbour caught a
thief stealing my shirt and
informed me about it. I
confronted the thief who
denied. "I won't do such a
abhorred act. I swear to
God." Since my neighbour saw
that he tucked it in his
shirt, we asked him my hand
reached the inside of his of
the upper dress and we found
it.
2. At my old school where I
worked a student reported of
his missing thing to us
quietly. We made a spot
check and found the stolen
properties in one of his
classmate's bag. The owner
of the bag said, "I don't
know it is in my bag.
Somebody must have put it in
here." In fact there were
several thefts happened in
schools. The answers were
all the same.
ACCOUNTABILITY
1. My boss told us hard and
direct, "It is your
responsibility to know even
the rat is dead at the far
end corner of the school."
An officer from Health
Department fined my school
as he found the mosquito
lava in the school drain.
The school has to make sure
that there no place anywhere
where mosquito can breed
their kind.
2. When you approve payments
involving millions you don't
say that you don't know what
you sign things for.
NAJIB LIES
Najib had 2,6 billioj in his
account in 2008. He did not
tell even his Deputy
Minister about it. He was
quiet about it till 2015
when the WSJ exposed about
it. He denied it and
threatened to sue the
newspaper. When his Deputy
and others wanted to know
about it he sacked them all.
It took about three months
for him to come up with a
donation story.
The donation song is being
sung from 2015 to 2018 by
all UMNO members and Najib.
Only yesterday he said he
didn't know the 1Mdb's money
went into his account, the
2.6 billion of it. This is
the trail followed by DOJ's
investigation and now he
forget about the donation
and blamed the 1Mdb guys for
transferring the cash into
his account.
I already knew that ghe
would say it was for the
party. But he told no one
for years about it. He gave
2 millions to Maslan, a
million to Shahrir and to
others but not to all UMNO
leaders.
What song will he be singing
next ? We just wait and see.
He will only incriminates
himself.
He is a born liar. He denied
he knew or met Saiful but
later spinned his words when
there were pictures showing
of their meetings.
He denied he knew Jho Lo.
There were pictures showing
him and Rosmah together with
Jho Lo on the yacht.
He lied to the parliament
that he 1mdb had it's money
in Singapore's bank but the
later denied it.
He was trying to fool Trump
and America but he failed.
Trump could put his sight on
both Najib and Rosmah
knowing of their ruthless
and un-shamed characters.

SARAWAK
REPORT VIEW ON NAJIB'S
LAWYER
Sarawak Report would humbly
like to suggest that there
are questions to be raised
about Najib Razak’s choice
of hot shot American lawyers
to fight his cause.
Doubtless, Sarawak Report
has to tread carefully to
avoid expensive arguments
about what one is and is not
allowed to say about
practitioners of the law,
some of whom appear to think
they are themselves
exempted, by virtue of
occupation.
However, the possibility of
conflict of interest in the
case of ‘star litigator
David Boies’ appears to
loom. After all, Mr Boies
was an active participant in
an
investment company named
Panavista, which was
funded by Riza Aziz and
managed by Riza’s personal
‘wealth manager’ Debra
Whelan.
Riza Aziz, who is Najib’s
step-son, gained most of his
income from 1MDB, according
to the investigations.
One of the lawyers in the
partnership headed by Boies
was also none other than
“high powered” Matthew
Schwartz, who has been the
main lawyer for much of Riza
Aziz’s recent defence work
and who personally attended
global meetings about
projected multi-million
dollar investments by
Panavista.
The overwhelming likelihood,
therefore, is that Mr Boies
and Mr Schwartz have
themselved profitted from
the ill-gotten money, which
might be seen to complicate
their defence of the man
behind the conspiracy,
namely Najib.
ROSMAH'S BEAUTY
Why do I take so much
interest in Rosmah's beauty
? In several of my articles
I wrote that Rosmah had been
punished for her sin even
before the fall of her
husband, Najib Razak. I saw
the comeuppance began as her
body grew fatter and she had
a hard time carrying her
weight. From the second most
beautiful First Lady in the
World she grew older so
rapidly.
She has been a very greedy
woman, stealing people's
husband and has been known
as a bad girl at her younger
age. As a Prime Minister's
wife she finally forget
herself and became the most
hated lady in the country.
The Malaysians have never
experience with this kind of
woman with all the other
previous PMs' wives before.
Her blood went to her son,
Reza Aziz.

ONLY MY VIEW
UMNO AND GANGSTERS
An UMNO man who looks like a
gangster from his
countenance and what he wore
on his body like rings and
chain is no other than Nazri
Aziz. Another is Zahid
Hamidi whose behaviour,
words, and arrogance is
Zahid Hamidi. People who are
close to top gangsters did
mentioned UMNO leaders were
rubbing shoulders with the
Mafia boss. And I was told
that Noh Omar was a student
who kicked his own teacher
and got transferred to some
other school when he was a
student.
Jamal Yunoss and a few
others were directly under
Najib Razak. These were the
people who went round to
threatened and attack those
people who were not in
agreement with Najib.
UMNO can fool the Malays
because this particular
ethnic group from the rural
areas are gullible people.
These Samseng guys are still
running around like
hooligans. They are lucky to
be in Malaysia and lucky
enough that Tun Mahathir is
old enough and has promised
for the Rules of Law. If the
current PM were to insinuate
giving them free hand to
deal with UMNO, I am sure
many of these people will be
missing from the earth
surface. Some may be burnt
and lynched.
Najib's secret police may be
hanging out with the Chinese
and Indian gangsters to
carry with more sinister
jobs. This may be likely in
the murder of Kevin Morais
and Najadi. A large number
of the populace suspect
similar criminal plans and
design by Najib.
Let us wait and see what
will happen next to these
gangsters and hooligans.
UGLY

CHARGING A THIEF
When stolen money is found
in a thief's just charge him
for stealing. We don't need
a proper document. How many
thieves do make documents
for their thieving ? The
right just will find him
guilty. On the other hand a
man in charge of a vault of
cash who destroyed all the
payments documents need to
show where he used the
money. In short destroying
the documents is causing his
own problem. If he can't
answer then he must be found
guilty of misappropriation
of funds. The severity of
the penalty depends on the
size of the money. It is
unfair to jail a person who
stole RM2 for two years and
a man who stole a million
for similar duration.
THE MURDER OF KEVIN MORAIS
Let us follow the court case
to determine whether there
are effort to fabricate the
case as to who murder Kevin.
So far we know that one of
the accused was already
sentenced for 2 years in
jail and is now a free man.
Only 2 years in jail for the
murder ? We will know
whether it is only a
scapegoat to save the
murderer ?
Remember Saddam Hussein who
denied of the killing made
by his brother ? They still
hung him.
In our case Najib is
suspected for the order of
the death of Morais, PI Bala
and Najadi. Bala is said to
have a heart attack and
Najadi was said to be killed
by a gangster. But they were
all related to Najib's
criminal acts. It is
believed that he will never
stop to act by any mean to
save himself from going to
jail. He still has billions
to pay out.
NO
PITY FOR NAJIB
This man has never show
morose or guilt despite the
2.6 billions in his account
and the 42 miliions of SRC's
money in his account. He
never told anyone for more
than 2 years about the money
he claimed from the
donation, and denied of
having it when exposed by
the WSJ, and took 3 months
to come up with the donation
story and then shuttled
himself back and forth to
Saudi Arabia to elicit their
co-operation.
He made lopsided agreement
with China putting burden on
the Malaysians for
generations to come,
He lost the 1Mdb's money as
admitted by his henchman
Arulkanda who went around
Malaysia to lie about the
profit of 1mdb.
Altantuya was murdered by
his bodyguard. It was linked
to the purchase of Scorpene
and the million dollar
kickback. Many people will
not barge away from their
believes that Morais, Najadi
and PI Bala were murdered by
him. And there was an
attempt at sabotaging
Mahathir's plane.
If we thought deeply about
the fall of BN, we will come
to the conclusion that it
was of God's will for the
severity of his continuous
sin. God observes to our
prayer call.
He charged GST and stop
subsidies and drained off
our coffer to emptiness.
He is the beast. His wife is
a witch. |

IDIL FITRI 2018
This
is the first time in my family time that I do not have
my full family with me. At first two of my kids could
not come back because of the office, the last minute one
of them came back. My daughter and my two grandchildren
came home five days ago.
I am not saddened by the situation at all. I want them
to give priority to their jobs. That's their life, their
future. In the days of the internet we are not far
apart.
I am happy that I enjoyed playing fire crackers and
sparklers with them. Those stuffs were bought last year
and the years before that. I think it would last me for
two more years of celebrations.
The festival will begin with the morning prayer followed
by a community feast. Those will take half of the day.
Being Friday we have to prepare for another prayer. It
is a Friday prayer.
I know I will be exhausted by 3 pm and will need to
rest.
For kids who come to visit I prepare new notes of RM2
each, But these two or three years not so many kids are
around anymore. I hope new and younger children will not
by shy to make their visits.
I expect my daughter's friends to be here. That won't
bother me. They won't expect me to entertain them. I
myself do not have friends as I used to. I am more
solitary at my age, doing my own things. But I do expect
a few of my old teachers to come to talk politics to me
as indicated by their Whatsapp messages.
I have not decided where to go. probably on the second
day I may go to my brother in-law's house.
I know the Id will be a sparkling one. But I don't have
any sparkling new dress to wear.

BAD
TO COMPLAINT
We used to move from house to house during the Hari Raya
in our area for many years until a new neighbourhood
appeared, a policeman by profession. He was able to
convince some of us that house to house visit takes a
long time. We might as well just get together at one
house. For these three years it was at his house.
We have to pay for the food. Certainly it is very
strange, RM30 per-house. I paid without any protest just
to be in the community.
My next door neighbour is not happy like me also. I
don't know who else. We never collect money from
visitors for the Hari Raya food.
After the prayer this morning I went to the house. I saw
three items on the menu. I took a little of meehoon soup
and went home. That would cost me only RM250 outside for
the full dish.
The topic that I tried not to talk was politics. Nobody
did. During the last election this man flew BN's flag at
his home. Many others were PAS supporters. I was once a
PAS supporter until this GE when I knew that PAS took
money from UMNO. The rest did not believe it as PAS was
saying that if they accepted cash from UMNO whu should
they need to challenge UMNO.
So I tried to be brief with those people. I relate the
demeanour of UMNO people who only wants money and
profit. And I cannot tolerate people who endorse Najib
Razak and his his wife, a couple I call a special specie
on this earth, who has no shame nor morality. They are
being called CROOK and Kleptocrat by the world, and
ignored by American Presidents, still have the audacity
of parading themselves in the world's platform.
It is this kind of people who ruin our local Hari Raya. |

NAJIB AND NAZRI BELITTLED MAHATHIR
A joke - what Zahid says about winning

DURIAN SEASON
It has
been years that I have not
tasted durian. It is one of
the most expensive items in
the fruit market. And I
never like the sellers whom
I felt had cheated me so
many time with expensive but
bad fruits.
Whenever I came across the
King of the fruit I never
thought about it's taste but
rather on the diseases it
might carry with it, like
diabetes or cardiovascular.
I have heard about heavy
durian eaters who had passed
away after consuming lots of
them. My haunch may not be
right. I figure it is better
for me not to waste money to
take a risk.
Durian or not I know that I
will die. Everybody does.
And everybody has the choice
to make.
In late 1970's I was roaming
the streets of Los Angeles
China Town. I was surprise
to find Durians sold in the
shops. And also in Hong Kong,
it was sold in the fruit
market. It wasn't something
recent but it was more than
20 years ago. I didn't think
it was something amazing.
There are Asians and
Southeast Asian at those
places.
I am aware some people
cannot stand the smell of
the fruit including the
fellow Malaysians. So much
so the fruit is not allowed
on planes and hotels.
Beside Malaysia, Indonesia,
Vietnam and Thailand where
else in the universe can
durian be found ? Recently
the Australians started to
grow these tropical fruits;
durian, rambutan,
mangoesteen and langsat.
They are exporting them too.
The next time we go to
Australia we do not have to
yearn for our lovable fruits
anymore.
As for Harum Manis, I saw
the mangoes in Harrod London
a long many years ago. I
suppose that's made the
fruit so expensive in
Malaysia today. A kilo of it
can fetch up to RM45. Do you
know how many fruits in a
kilo ? A fruit can be more
than a kilogram. It is much
more expensive than the
durian.
Whenever I passed through
durians my heart would tell
me to avoid the poison.
Excessive consumption can
kill us. |

THE WAY WE LOOK AT THINGS
When we found there are
things and money in a
thief's house, we no longer
look or search for a
document to prove that he
stole them. You do not write
a document to steal money or
to break into people's house.
And in law no one keeps a
stolen property in his home. Whoever in
this world would write or
document of his stealing
procedures.
A person's is seen not only
through his admission but also by
his actions and spinning
things. Najib was quiet
about having 2.6 billions in
his account. And he denied
it again when the WSJ
published the stories many
years after that. Then he
sacked his Deputy for asking
about 1Mdb and those of the
big guns in UMNO who put
forward similar question. If
nothing wrong was done, then
he wouldn't have to do such
an act. He could have
explained it was a donation.
And the story of donation
came months after that.
We would say Najib was
already guilty by the those
actions and supported by the
time frame. He did also did
not dare to sue the WSJ for
the slander. What sort of
documents we need more ?
He was the big boss of 1Mdb
and he had been negligence
in his duty. And that too he
can be jailed.
If it is during Najib's time
they would choose their own
judges, paid well to these
judges and fabricate
evidence.
Now these judges are still
there that ran the court for
him. They must be removed
base on Najib's deliberate
act of putting them though
their mandatory retirement
were reach. It was clearly
stated in law that there
must be no more extension to
these posts.
There are several charges
that could be made on Najib,
not only on theft but also
on negligence, signing a
lope sided agreement after
several audit reports
prohibited it.
We need to choose the right
judge after having deep
discussion with them.
Najib must be thrown in jail
for lying, mismanagement of
public funds, negligence,
using SRC and 1Mdb's money
for personal and family and
corrupting the public, "YOU
SCRATCH MY BACK AND I
SCRATCH YOURS".
My friends have been saying
that if Najib can set a
Kangaroo Court why not now ?
We must also send our legal
team to DOJ. Go there and
discuss to make sure the
charge sting and stick.

THE MAN
WITHOUT SHAME AND FEAR NO GOD
THEY
EQUATE HIM TO GOD
"IF YOU
DO NOT LISTEN TO NAJIB, YOU DO NOT
LISTEN TO GOD", said an UMNO Minister.
"I AM
GOD CHOSEN"
If he
had shame he would not have paraded
himself to the world despite him being
called a crook, a thief and a kelptocrat.

A KING DOES NOT HAVE TO BOW
TO RAKYAT
No rakyat wants their King
to bow at them. A King has
just got to be as any normal
Ruler, just and fair, does
the work as stipulated by
the constitution. To
humiliate a person in front
of the whole nation was seen
as kind of provocation,
showing favour to someone
whom the rakyat hated most.
Rosmah was a witch to most
of the citizens. It would
not be nice for a King to
show his support to such a
bad person. It is not the
law to decide whether a
person is good or bad. This
was what Apandi was trying
to do.
To let Mahathir waited for
hours in the Palace and to
delay the appointment of the
new AG was considered a
deliberate effort as a
result of siding the
ex-Prime Minister. That led
to the outburst and anger
among the citizens.
If we accept the fact that
to err is only human then we
have to wait for things to
calm down. And call for
calmness and admit our
error. No Rulers steal
people's money. No Rulers
decapitate Rakyat's heads.
Rakyat will say sorry. The
Kings can go on with their
usual chores.
I suggested the School For
Rulers for them to have fun
and hungry in the quest of
knowledge, of law, science,
languages and philosophy. It
will enhance their wisdom
and intellectual status. It
is nothing strange. remember
the Prince of England are
sent to military college and
sent to war in Falkland and
Afghanistan.
Respect will come
automatically. And humility
does not come by bowing. And
nobody will question about
the income of our Kings.
None mentioned about it for
decades before this because
everybody was observing
himself.
Let me voice my feeling
here. Anwar Ibrahim is
living in a dream world. He
already acts like he is the
Prime Minister like Najib
had been thinking the rakyat
loved him, He seemed to be a
spokesman for the King,
dictating the line for the
people when he is nothing
yet. He has to go for an
election. I can assure you
that he will get no Chinese
vote. May be only 10% of the
Malays will go for him.
People do not like his
behaviour. PKR thinks the
rakyat voted for Keadilan.
People just wanted to vote
out Najib and wanted to see
him in jail with his
despicable wife.
Instead of showing his
muscle and bravery, he
should have a nice talk with
his Royal Highness about
life and philosophy and
about being wise.
The credibility of Anwar
slackened the moment he
walked out of prison. He
had a long speech instead
of a one or two minutes
speech to thank God for his
release. His statement that
I didn't like to hear was
about taking over the PAS
state in the next GE. I am
not a PAS bigot nor a
follower but I found the
statement was arrogant and
boisterous.
Kings still can have their
place without Anwar or
Mahathir. It is in the
constitution. A just King
will be respected and
maintained and financed by
the people. It has been
debated to the status of
English Royalty where the
masses prefer to have
Monarchy in England.

A BAD BUT BRAVE PILOT
There were tips given by
many pilots how to fly at
night. I did not bother
them. Somebody was talking
about light so that we can
see where our drone is
flying. I couldn't care less
because there is one light
that is always blinking at
intervals. I was able to it
blinking only at a certain
distant or height. Beyond
that I would be blind.
Tonight at about 10pm I went
out to have a night flight.
As it flew above 100 feet I
only focussed on the
monitor. It flew quite a
while before I called for
home. I took a risk to fly
blindly. That made me a bad
pilot with the gut to do it.
At the Return Home (RTH)
point I could hear the
buzzing sound and I looked
up. I saw the light
blinking. But I did not
allow it to land. I let it
hover at about 10 feet. Then
I moved forward. I lost the
view. I reversed backward. I
still couldn't see it. Funny
the figures changed to
negative value, the height
became less than zero. The
only solution I raised the
aircraft up and slowly I
moved the forward stick. The
drone flew over my head. It
was actually behind me.
At home I saw the video clip
and realized that the drone
was behind me and was about
to land on the grass.
It was nothing dangerous but
I should have planned
it better, and to remind myself
that I was flying at night
using an expensive machine.
The drone is not a toy for
kids. I saw a few footings
of people giving the RC to
their friends or lovers to
fly and the drones crashed
in no time.
But I am not as brave as
those who dared to fly their
drones across the water for
miles ahead and had problems
when the batteries were out
of power. One man was lucky
his drone landed on a
sandbank. He paid USD500 to
hire a boat to the place,
and having a hectic time
looking for it.
I don't know how many
careless pilots who flew
their drones at night to
crash against the trees or
the walls. Who would want to
go to the seaside or a
meadow to fly a drone at 10
or 11 pm in the dark ?

THE MINDSET OF THE PAS
MEMBERS
The most filthy words in the
world come from the mouth of
Islamic Political Party in
Malaysia, PAS. They never
stop condemning anybody who
do not agree with their
views. Reading from the
Facebook I never heard any
kind words from them but
words calling people animal,
infidels and stupid, giving
a picture of Islam being a
reeligion who knows nothing but
violence.
Today PAS rules two states,
Kelantan and Trengganu.
Since God comes first they
must follow God to execute
Islamic Laws in those
states. They should not wait for
the approval of the
Parliament to run God's law.
And they have to stand brave
and be strong about it.
PAS has declared that the
party wants to make sure
Islam survive and be the
strongest in this country.
Once they used to say that
to go to heaven just vote
for the party. They are
either stubborn or ignorant
of Islam flourishing in
countries rule by
non-Muslims. There are
millions of Muslims in
Russia, China and England.
If you tell them this, they
will attack you like mad
dogs.
Many Malays still believe by
supporting PAS they are
supporting Islam and they
will go to heaven.
As far as I am concern I do
not show my support on such
a bigot. I prefer to avoid
their shops and individuals
with Muslim head dresses.
Their extremism is akin to
terrorist groups.
I remember when I was in the
United States having Friday
prayers. If the sermons were
made by individuals other
than Saudi Arabia, they were
nothing else the mere attack
on the Jews. The Imam from
Saudi Arabia would talk
about how to be a good
Muslims, and explanations on
the verses of the Koran,
about death, alms, doing
good and heaven and earth.
The vicious and continuous
attack on infidels in
Malaysia made me remarked
that they should throw away
what were made by infidels,
home utensils, TV, all
electrical and electronic
gadgets, their cars and
motorcycles and even the
Western dress. Instead, they
just shout 'pig' at me.
The Malays still think that
whatever Arab is good. They
love Arab Rice which in reality
does not suit my taste at
all. I do not force them
down my throat just because
they are Arabs. One
Indonesian cleric in his
sermon said that Islamic
practices are found in
Switzerland and Japan, for
people are honest and
trustworthy and very
helpful.
Progress does not lie with
PAS or Islamic PAS. It has
to come with technology, in
knowledge and invention,
producing new things rather
than consuming technologies
sold to the Muslims. I
wonder how many of PAS
members are able to parade
their own scientific
inventions to prove that
Islam is not behind time and PAS
is really very progressive.
Instead of helping the
current government to heal
the nation's economy for the
benefit of their own
generation they are calling
the people not to donate to
the Trust Fund. Some wanted
to campaign for the
restoration of GST and want
to oust Tun Mahathir. 99% of
these sick people are the
Malays.
I have been running a school
for almost 23 years. There
were all sorts of people I
worked with. The most
hardworking and efficient
were the Chinese, 98% of
them. Graduate Malays are as
good as the Chinese, almost
99% of them. The rest depend
on their background and
upbringing. At least 20% are
very problematic. When the
problems ones moved away,
the school became so
successful and won many
awards from the Ministry of
Education Malaysia.
Reading the FB similar kinds
of voices emerge again, the
voice of the mentally sick
people. Again they are the
poor Malays. When they lose
in their arguments they
would flex their muscles. |

THE STATE OF CONSTITUTIONAL
MONARCHY
The Royal Highness the
Sultan of Selangor was
unhappy with current
turbulence concerning
remarks by citizens on the
Rulers of this country. It
is not the only His Royal
Highness is unhappy, we the
Rakyat too are sad about the
issue. However let us know
that it is not a unique to
Malaysia only. Historically
it had happened everywhere,
even in England where we saw
the birth of Magna Carta.
And the Americans declared
itself independent it did
not discuss monarchy
anymore. It straight away
form a Republic. And in
countries conquered by the
imperialists Kingships were
abandoned except the British
who still maintained the
Rulers as the Head of
Religious matter. In Italy oit was through referendum
that the Kingship was
abolished.
No existing Kings in the
world has the divine power
with them nor having a
sorcery powers that can turn
the challengers into stones
and fires could burnt their
villages. In Malaysia a good
and respectable King is seen
as symbol of sovereignty.
Hence a King is a King to
all the Rakyat not to
incline to any particular
section of the community.
Like anyone else a King has
a taste for a particular
thing better than the other.
That is his prerogative. But
in any official matters that
has been laid out by the
constitution no king should
humiliate his subject. We
heard that Tun Mahathir was
let to wait for hours after
arriving at the palace. If
the Royal Highness has no
liking over Dr Mahathir and
can't see his face then he
could have asked his Deputy
to carry out the ceremony
with grace.
You see TMJ recently
expressed his view that
there is nothing wrong for
him to show his interest in
a particular party or
person. Yes, he is right.
Then people too have the
right to criticise what was
not right. Instead of being
violence or showing an
outright rude, they voted BN
out of Johore.
You see, many of us having
been using the word
PENDATANG to the Chinese in
Malaysia. I did not say it.
And now his Royal Highness
the Sultan of Selangor
claimed he is a Bugis. Bugis
has their homes in Makassar.
And Zahid claimed he is a
Javanese. Java is his home.
My statements are base on
facts and real happenings.
We are the people who
created the turbulence.
The issue of Najib Razak is
not a small one. Everyone
must use their brains to see
the veracity of the facts.
Najib denied taking the
1Mdb's money. He said 1Mdb
made profit. Apandi Ali said
that there was nothing wrong
with 1Mdb. But the DOJ said
the money went into his
account and the money were
used in gambling, buying
properties, making films and
buying jewelries. Najib
threatened to sue the WSJ's
reporting but dared not
doing it.
It was sure enough the
stealing had taken place.
From the feedback in the
social media people accused
Islam as a religion that
endorse stealing and lying.
In the recent palace-rakyat
conflict they also expressed
the Sultan sided the misdeed
of Najib. True or not,
that's what the rakyat
perceived it.
Had not Johor, Selangor and
DYMM Yang Dipertuan Agong
shown their power, the Rakyat
also would have not shown
their rudeness. Rather than
using force to insert their
greatness, the rulers should
draw love, affections and
respect from the people.
When I was a kid, I heard
that the Royal Highness the
Sultan of Kedah invited
people from PAS, UMNO, MCA
and from all walks of life
to his Istana for birthday
dinner. Even at that age I
already gathered that the
King had applied his wisdom.
Imagine my shocked I had as
I heard Johor called upon
the rakyat to vote for BN.
In my previous essays I did
predict that a new Malaysia
would begin in about 20
years time only. I never
expect it to be so soon.
The state of monarchy in
Malaysia depends on the
Kings themselves. English
Prince were sent to outward
bound school, military
college and went to real
combat during the War in
Balkan and Afghanistan. They
gain respect from their
subjects and people are
still willing to finance the
palace.
That's why I suggested a
school for the King. Read it
below. And I propose a few
relevant topics for them to
discuss and to learn, in
order to be wiser and
smarter.

10/06/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
ARROGANCE, BRAGGART,
LIARS AND ROBBERS
They spoke with their loud
voice, heads straight or
tilted upwards and eyes
looking down. You will feel
so small if you are in their
community. If they were in
restaurants the rest of the
customers would lower their
voice or said nothing to
hear the loud conversation.
When they came in in blue
and red uniform you could
see their proud countenance
and behaviours.
A few of them were either my
friends or students,
becoming ministers and
worked in Putrajaya. They
cursed Tun Mahathir and used
swear words on him and
continue to do so till now
despite being defeated by
Harapan. Everyone said 1Mdb
was making profit and Najib
was very capable as a
finance Minister. They
accused DAP as foreign agent
to topple Malay government
and attacked Tun as DAP's
riding
horse.
Najib seems to be having a
sea of money and money trees
where he plucked them up to
give millions to people he
like like Millions to Ahmad Maslan and Shahrir. We don't
know how many billions were
spent on the last GE14
election for the flags,
banners and placards. Cash
handout were numerous to
voters. While Harapan
had to elicit money from
the people. Tun was about to
sell his bread business.
Najib lied to parliament.
His supporters lied to the
masses.
UMNO is dead. If the members
are scared of the Chinese
party they can vote for
Harapan or PAS but not
for the arrogance, the liars
and the robbers. I as a
Malay I am not sacred to
lose a bad Sultan. A Sultan
is bad when he is making
enemies with his subjects and
humiliating them without any
morose.
People are against GST,
corruption in1Mdb, what had
happened to FELDA, MARA,
Tabung Haji and other
institution. Public hated
the arrogance shown by
Rosmah and Najib with their
lavishness and Rosmah's high
handedness. And we know the
couple and the family
members are hiding more of
our money. Try to look at
ANZ bank in New Zealand and
Australia.
We begged Najib to stop GST.
No heed was taken. Without
it, he said, we could not
pay our loan. Malaysia would
not have enough money. But
today as the new government
stop GST and set up the
donation fund Najib and his
gang said that Malaysia
could pay the debt even
without the the public
donation. That's enough to
show their minds and
contradictions,
BN was truly the government
of thieves.

THE TITLE I HATE MOST
The title I hate most is
Tuan (master) because I am
not a landlord or a
government official or some
VIPs. I am just an ordinary
man like anybody else as you,
as
farmers, salesmen, hawkers
and the outcast group.
As I was a teacher I love to
be called Cikgu ( Teacher )
by all, a name that never
make me feel old. 95% of the
people I know called me
Cikgu. One other sweet title
rarely used by a few people
is Cik Rahman. It is also a
title that never make a
person feel old.
Only a few Chinese lady
teachers called me by my
full name Abdul Rahman. I
was very glad as long as
none of them called me Tuan.
Once I went to the Royal
Palace to get a medal for a
certain title. I never used
it in my letter or told
anybody of the title. At
home there was no picture
hung to display the picture
of me getting the award. Not
even my kids know about it.
They will be surprise to
find the medal and the
picture when I die.
It is not about humility but
about comfort. I am very
comfortable with what I am
now. What is in the name and
what is in the title. I
would change everything for
good health and happiness.
Conversely there were people who
called me STUPID and PIG for
things I did not do anything
to them. Probably they were
not happy when I expressed
my view on the need to be a
good ham radio operators and
my stand that radio
operators must pass a Morse
test. I lost nothing.
At this age I don't need
title. I don't need bags
full of currencies. I don't
need a job.
All I need is good health
and happiness. |

THE LIMIT OF A KING
What was the Magna Carta?
The Magna Carta is
Latin for "Great
Charter". It set
down rights which
became part of
English law and
which are now the
foundations for the
constitutions of all
countries which
speak English. It
did not grant any
new rights, but it
did protect existing
rights in writing.
These rights
included the basic
right of anyone
convicted of a crime
to a jury trial;
protection of
private property;
reasonable limits on
taxes and a degree
of guaranteed
religious freedom.
The Magna Carta was
a significant
influence on the
long historical
process that has
resulted in the rule
of constitutional
law today. The Magna
Carta came about
because King John
(who only became
king in 1199 when
his brother King
Richard I died) had
a reputation for
being tyrannical.
His reign was marred
by continuous war
losses, beginning
with the loss of
Normandy to Philippe
Auguste of France
and ending with
England torn by
civil war. King John
risked being forced
out of power because
of his
mismanagement. By
1215,England's
nobility was fed up
with paying extra
taxation. Members of
this nobility
rebelled and
captured London. In
June, the King met
these barons at
Runnymede on the
River Thames to try
and reach a peaceful
settlement. The King
reluctantly agreed
to their demands by
signing the Magna
Carta on 15 June
1215. It was
intended tolimit the
powers of the
monarch and
proclaimed certain
liberties for
"freemen". . Many
later documents such
as the US
Constitution were
based upon the Magna
Carta. . First
drafted by the
Archbishop of
Canterbury to make
peace between the
unpopular King and a
group of rebel
barons, it promised
the protection of
church rights,
protection for the
barons from illegal
imprisonment, access
to swift justice,
and limitations on
feudal payments to
the Crown, to be
implemented through
a council of 25
barons.
What was the Magna carta
designed to do?
The Magna Carta was to
limit the power of the
Monarch (rulers). The
Magna Carta, or Great
Charter, is a document
created for the purpose
of limiting the powers
of the monarch and
preserving the basic
legal rights of all free
men in England. It was
made after a rebellion
in 1215 against King
John of England, a
corrupt, absolute
monarch who angered all
those under the
influence of his power.
The Barons, rich land
owners and direct
vassals of the King,
would no longer tolerate
the abuses of power
conducted under John's
reign, and demanded a
change in government.
John was forced to meet
with them at Runnymede
on June 15, 1215.
Another angle: The
barons were under the
feudal system and they
were subject tothe
king's whim. They
revolted and made King
John sign the Charter
assuring their fiefdoms
and share in power. Each
of the succeeding kings
had to sign a similar
document. It had nothing
to do with the much
touted beginning of
democracy -it was a
power-sharing deal. The
beginning of democracy
came 50years later when
Simon de Montfort
introduced a parliament
which included
representatives of the
lower classes.

THE GAME OF INDONESIAN
MAID ?
Since the demise of my wife
and I lead a solitary life I
engaged an Indonesian maid
to clean my house once a
month. She was introduced by
my old teacher. I paid her
by the piece rate about
RM100 for 3 or 4 hours of
work and got additional sum
from time to time. When she
felt ill she would call me
to ferry her to clinics and
pharmacies. I donated quite
a sum when her husband
underwent stone-kidney
surgery back home in
Indonesia.
Then without the courtesy of
telling me she went to Kuala
Lumpur working as a massage
parlour earning a thick
handsome pay. I called her
to look a replacement for
me. She gave me a name and
the phone number, also a
lady from the same place
while she was here.
I then took this new maid.
She had been servicing my
house for three times and as
usual I gave her extra money
to buy the Idil Fitri's
dress and a pair of shoes,
quit a substantial sum. She
said her husband never came
home.
About 5 days ago the old
maid rang me up telling me
that she was sick, identical
illness as she had had
before. She said it was her
son who took her to the
clinic. I told her about the
made she sent me and
whatever she said about her
husband. not coming back and
living alone by herself.
The old maid, Mila, was very
angry to hear that saying
she was lying, This new maid
is living with her husband
and with two other men in
the house. She is trying to
con me for more money, said
Mila. I took note about it.
Today Mila phoned me again
saying her body is still
weak and she could not go to
work. I told her that she
does not work at a good
place. There are all sort of
people coming for the
comfort. She might be
infected by any
transmittable disease. She
said she might quit the job
in a couple of weeks after
her full recuperation. "I
will sacrifice the good
money for the smaller one,"
she said.
I believe her that the new
maid is playing games with
me, trying to cheat me for
more money. In fact the
other day she said that her
mother was sick back home
and she need to send more
money home. In response I
asked her to borrow from her
friends.
Now I have made up my mind
that I will not trust or
engage this new maid again.
I can manage my own home,
inside and outside. Or I
might as well as call Ah Hwa
to clean the outside part
and I do the inside, only
sweeping and mopping and do
a little arranging.

MY
LITTLE TRICKY DRONE
Though I owned a drone for almost 6
months now, I did not fly it always. And
when I flew I ignore most of the
facilities it it.
One
important feature is I would be able to
see where my drone flies on a map. But
from the beginning till the last flight
I did not bother about it and never
realize there was no map seen on the
drone. There is an arrow shown the
direction it flew, giving some idea
whether the aircraft was flying away
from the starting position or encircling
the area or coming back to the point.
But
today as I was watching several clips on
a new drone, Mavic Air, I became curios
about the map. Why was it not appear on
my screen when I used the application.
There was a forum on the same issue.
Instead of solving the problem people
were saying the map was not important.
The forum became a sort of a platform of
verbal war.
There a couple of footings on the same
issue telling the method of resolving
it. I did not understand the explanation
due to the poor audio output. However it
gave me some idea to start with. I need
to download the offline map and chose
the drone type from the list. I did the
exploration and found the link item.
After finishing the procedure, I started
all over again with my Mavic Pro. There
I was the map was displayed.
During my flight I always looked at the
picture of the land and terrain where my
drone was from the camera that was sent
to the RC. It wa true that map did not
matter. Once in a while I would wink at
the arrow. That's not important either.
I maneuvered my aircraft to see things I
want to see. Pictures improve with time
as I have gained enough confidence in
flying it. There was no visual contact
as it flew beyond my sight. You can't
see a small bird two miles away, can you
? So my sole dependency was the monitor
on the Remote Control (RC).
From my experience it was very safe to
fly home when the battery was at 50% or
60%. Even 40% would be safe enough. It
would be stupid of me to fly until 20%
battery left to command for it's return.
Even if I flew with 50% remaining power,
I could cover up about 15 or 17 minutes
of video. That's is too long. People
only want to see a 2 or 3 minutes clips
only.
To
me buying a video I need to look for the
distant it covers, the height it can go
and the maximum flight duration.

A SCHOOL FOR KINGS
This is not a gibe but the
seriousness of the matter.
In China they have a
university for elderly to go
back either as a student or
as a teacher. People who
used to be doctors,
scientists and other
professionals can always
contribute their expertise.
At 72 I am anxious to join
such a university as a
student to learn English,
computing and hydraulic.
It will not only be fun for
the kings but will also be
elevating their intellectual
capacity and to understand
better of the world.
I would propose some of the
curriculum contents
1. The World Managers
through historical
perspective
2. Humans and their minds.
3. Economy of financial
system
4. Straight and Crooked
Thinking
5. Revolution in technology
and their progress
6. Khalifatuulah and Ibn
Khaldun Assabiyah
7. The role of Kings. How to
gain respect and popularity.
8. Philosophy, Rationality
and Mysticism.
9. Language time - English,
Mandarin, Tamil, Japanese
and Korean.
10. Magical formula and
explanations eg e=mc2
Those are only my
suggestions. Call it a
University if you will. It
can be at a fix place or
movable from state to state.
It runs on a weekly basis. I
can bet it will be fun and
at the same time wisdoms
would be accumulated and
pride would be enhanced. |
We are not made to be
genius. Neither we are born
to be very intelligent. But
those do are not the barrier
to bar us from hunting for
knowledge.
The sea of knowledge is
so wide covering the whole
of universe that no one man
can learn even a small part
of it.
It is really fun to know
and discover the unknown. I
heard a simple story from a
religious teacher of a man
who did not return to see
his parents for 16 years
owing to the unhappiness
over the division of
properties. It shed my
tears.
What more if you know
about sciences, law and
philosophy. You know about
the sun, the star and the
Black Hole, the digital
concepts and the languages
of the world. They are more
valuable than money,
position and power.
It provides fulfilment
and perpetual happiness. |

MARRIAGE AT 72 ?
At the age of 72 and nearing
my death bed, there are
three women around 40's
appear trying to enter my
life. One is the newly
Indonesian maid who had been
calling and messaging me
every night and suggested to
'urut' me. Second is a women
a never met before but
suggested by a food shop
stall owner who took my
phone number. This lady also
had been sending me message
with the love sign. I never
replied even once. And the
third one is a lady friend,
a radio hobbyist like me and
very beautiful too. She did
not message me like the
other two but jokingly
mentioned that I should give
her the 2% income for her
EFP contribution.
But in my heart I do not
have any feeling of getting
any spouse yet. It does not
bloom any sentimental
feeling of love. I don't
think I will have the desire
of having one. I looked at
myself in the mirror and saw
wrinkles and the old age
face. I don't think anybody
would find me attractive.
They think I am a loaded old
man with plenty of cash in
the bank as I travelled to
see the world almost every
year. I have been very
generous to people who work
in my home, giving them the
impression that I am an old
man with money.
Everyone use to say that
living in solitary life is
bad especially when I fall
sick. The Indonesian
repeatedly told me that I
should find someone to take
care of myself. Indonesian
woman she said does not look
for sex when I told her that
I cannot give anybody sexual
happiness. Others say it for
having a companion for
chatting and travelling.
But I value my freedom very
much. I do what I like and
where I want without any
hindrance or objection. I
wonder how much hassle would
I have when I decided to buy
and fly a drone. And to
donate RM6K to the National
Trust Fund. 6K for a man
with a small income like me
is a lot. Being single there
is no barrier for me.
Though I am not a pious man
and do commit sins every
other day for watching nude
figures on the internet, I
have a strong faith in God.
I believe that the God I
believe in is the God of
all. I do not want to
interfere in people's
religious belief as long as
they are good, honest and
sincere towards mankind, God
will move my heart when the
time comes, by sending a
good woman out of the blue
to be my wife.
I thank God for the great
providence, the sustenance
and the good health endowed
upon me. I can sleep and eat
and mobile enough to be at
places I desire. God still
opens the door for me to
talk to HIM everyday for I
can perform my prayer
without any physical agony,
and remember the verses I
chanted during the deeds.
I know there is a lady with
a clean heart somewhere who
can make me happy somewhere.
Let me pray for the Almighty
to send her for me like a
cat that I had wish to have
jumped into my house like a
miracle one day after my
wish. When I wake up and
see this lady on my bed
beside me ? One can never
know.

HISHAMUDDIN AND RAKYAT'S
MINDS
Hishamuddin Tun Hussein
should understand that no
one man should think he is
the most perfect and smart
no matter how rich and
powerful he is and the
academic qualification he
possesses. The people no longer
look at things in a micro
view but rather on the macro
level, like the bird's eye
view. Of course not all can
control their emotion and
sentiment.
The first statement
Hishamuddin made was about
PH is expounding the
campaign of hatred. People
asked what and which are the
hatred stuff. Was it the
exposure of the Red Book and
the 90% payment for 13% job
? Wasn't that the truth ?
And he called it 'hate
campaign' ? Does UMNO
profess the culture of lies
and hide the truth by making
it a Secret, like Apandi did
to the Auditor's Report on
1Mdb and Najib put them
under the Red Books ?
And Najib can even lie to
the Parliament about the
1Mdb fund in the Singapore's
bank ? Does he want to bury
the Scorpene issue, the
Altantuya's case and all
other misdoings ? Sure
enough you won't be hated by
robbing and plundering in a
stealth manner.
Secondly he was talking
about people were trying to
belittle Royalty.
Hisham must have forgotten
about the history of the
rise of the Republic and the
last Emperor of China.
People do accept and reject
the Kings, the monarchy.
Only in England words have
been spread that the Queen
is an alien with some mystic
power. Most people
interviewed prefer to have
the Queen as the institution
attracts and enhance
tourism.
In Malaysia the Rakyat first
started to talk about the
status of the King when the
Ruler of Johor killed his
caddy boy. But later it
subsided. Only within these
three years the topic began
to emerge again. It started
in Johor with TMJ was
regarded as bragging on the
ability to run a successful
soccer team. Some fans made
a gibe and tease TMJ
disputing his arguments.
The great eruptions began
when Johor, Selangor and
Kelantan made themselves
partisans in political
matters. Johor vocally
called the Anak Johor not to
change the government and to
vote for BN. Selangor voiced
his anger when Mahathir
called Najib Lanun Bugis. He
said that he himself is a
Bugis. Who knows that His
Royal Highness is a Bugis.
And the Agong treated
Mahathir in the Istana
poorly. He let the old man
waited at the Istana for
many hours before he came
out for an audience and
again he first rejected the
new AG.
At the same time the UMNO
members in Perlis insulted
the Raja of Perlis for not
attending the swearing
ceremony. Shahidan's remarks
on the Sultan was like any
other people in the same
position. In short Shahidan
was saying the Sultan should
follow the wish of the
rakyat, not the other way
round.
There were numerous
responses by the public. I
just pick a simple want for
our perusal
This is a malicious
statement by UMNO to incite
the Rulers to hate the
Rakyat and the ruling
government. And, UMNO should
ask itself why our Rulers
would want or need a party
of thugs and alleged thieves
who have been stealing from
the Rakyat, to 'safeguard
their sovereignty'? The
numerous corruption/murder
scandals involving UMNO
members is the biggest
insult to King and country,
and the race and religion
they profess to protect.
UMNO member and division
chief Jamal has been mocking
and taunting Polis DiRAJA
Malaysia. UMNO/BN bought
fighter planes with missing
engines for Tentera Udara
DiRAJA Malaysia. UMNO/BN
bought a submarine that
could not submerge for
Tentera Laut DiRAJA
Malaysia. The veterans of
Tentera Darat DiRAJA
Malaysia doing the public
butt dance and exhibiting
their naked butts. Tell me
again, who is belittling our
Rulers?
These responses show the
public at large are no
longer having a myopic view.
Their thinking are diverging
and they questions the
irregularity.
UMNO has been making tools
out of our beloved rulers.
Many years ago when the
Malays were scared of DAP I
already warned UMNO not to
push the Malays to the wall,
not to be bossy and arrogant
and not to regard the Malays
as their slaves, not to be
so corrupt and not to
continue stealing and
spending money as if this
country belongs to their
grand father. If they do the
suppressed Malays would
prefer to have the Chinese
as their leaders.
On the eve of GE14 Najib
notoriously attacked and
insulted his predecessor
Mahathir like an animal,
trying to find faults with
Lim Guan Eng, arresting the
opposition leaders, Jamal
acted like Hooligans
harassing and hitting people
wearing Yellow T-Shirts.
Nazri and Zahid are seen as
confirmed gangsters. Would
it be wrong for the public
to suspect the murder of
Kevin Morais and Najadi even
the death of PI Bala were
the work of these gang
leaders ?
UMNO had been playing almost
all the tricks in the book.
And now trying to pull the
Sultans in conflict with the
Rakyat. Najib himself called
the army and the police to
show his obedience to him,
not the Kings. Do the rakyat
forget this ?
We don't forget what Najib
said about our loan. It
takes a long many years to
finish and we have to cut
subsidies and collect GST.
They made loan without
computing the amount of
interest involve which takes
up hundreds of million for
1mdb alone. Certainly when
GST is scrapped the
government's ability to pay
the loan is affected. Now
UMNO said there is no need
to form the Trust Fund For
the public to donate. The
government can pay. This
made people more angry. If
without GST the government
can pay for the loan then
what's the reason for Najib
to have it ? And he said it
is for paying loan.
With such kind of mentality
these people will never get
any respect from the people.
It is good for UMNO that my
blog is only for my own
perusal. I don't viral it. I
don't publish it for people
to read. I just want to
practise writing in English.
However I will use the same
facts when any of UMNO
members were trying to be
cheeky and argue personally
with me. |
07/06/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
DO I BECOME POORER BY GIVING ?
I am not an angel, not a
pious nor a good man. Like
most of us I made a lot of
sins, imperfect in my work
and my judgment. I know that
I cannot be bad all the
time. At time I must do some
good things to the people,
community and the country.
There are bad and good
things in me and my heart. I
don't have any ill feeling
or jealousy if my friends or
someone are richer, smarter
or have better job than me.
But I will not be happy if
they rob whatever from me
for their own betterment. A
person in my office can maneuver himself for
promotion, I will not be
jealous of his success as
long as in the process of
playing for office he
destroyed my reputation.
I am also not a miser nor am
I a philanthropist, I
calculated my money and gave
some to people or
organization that I think
worth the donation. I don't
give to all who beg. I don't
give to those who carry
donation box for a mosque or
some schools. I would prefer
to donate to the mosque by
myself.
When I give, I really give.
My annual contribution to
the local mosque and other
uses are not less then RM2K.
Recently I gave RM6K to
Tabung Harapan Negara. I
gave about RM500 to the
monthly maid for her Raya
dress, to Ah Hwa for helping
me and to others. It is not
that I used my money at all.
They are God's providence
that have been blessed upon me
with more than I want. I can
travel the world over almost
every year. I can taste exotic
food from time to time and
stay in a five star hotel
once a while.
With quite a heavy recent
spending I was myself
surprise to see my current
saving does not deplete
much. I do not become poorer
nor having have to go around
to borrow from people. I
don't owe any person or any
institution any money.
Mind you I am not a rich
person and my pension is
small.
God providence is for all
and to all, not of a person
of particular religious
belief. Just have a clean
heart, be trustworthy and
sincere.
Most of us do not have to be
a millionaire to be happy
and fulfilling. We do not
become poorer by giving. You
don't have to give if you
yourself need sustenance and
help. The poor can give
their thanks and smiles
which never make them more
poor. |

THE UNENDING STORIES
A friend who is an UMNO man
asked, "Najib has a lot of
money, why the need of more
? " He was trying to imply
that Najib did not steal the
1Mdb money because he is
already a wealthy man. My
answer was, "Ask him."
You click the above title
and take your time to read a
page a day on what the Edge
wrote about the flow of
money and read the DOJ's
report on how the money
ended up in Najib's pocket.
Arulkanda has admitted that
he does not know where the
money is. We have to ask
Najib about it as he was the
big boss of 1Mdb and was
paying money for the body
from the government's fund.
And we ask him to show the
money., After all he used
the money to send people to
make pilgrimage.
Didn't he tell Trump that
Malaysia was going to help
America to make her economy
better ? Didn't he go around
the world to donate to their
higher institutions ? We
just ask questions and let
him answer.

EMPEROR OF CHINA

THE LEGACY OF NAJIB
The story of Najib began to
enter my life when he
started with GST and the
abolishment of subsidies.
Everywhere I went, mee
rebus, buying medicine,
servicing cars, paying bills
and to public restroom I
have to pay GST. Not only
prices of things sores land
and house rates too shot up
by almost 100%. Najib was
happy with the money
collected and spent it like
water, enhancing his image
overseas, giving donations
to foreign colleges, getting
in consultants and
foreigners in his
administration with a big
fat salaries.
Then news spread as bills on
Rosmah's purchase were paid
by the government.
The story of Najib's
stealing 1Mdb's money came
in later around 2015 when
the WSJ published the story
of the cash in Najib's
account. Malaysiakini took
up the story and blazoned
it.
The first I heard was from
his supporters who said that
Najib did not have any money
in his account. If he was a
corrupt person he won't be
stupid to keep it here. He
would surely hid it in
foreign banks. Najib denied
having any money in
Malaysian bank. In fact
threatened to sue the WSJ.
Instead he sued Harakah and
Lim Leong Sik.
His Deputy and other UMNO
members wanted to know the
truth. He sacked them. When
cornered it took him about 4
to 6 months to say it was an
Arab donation. He shuttled
to Saudi Arabia several
times under the guised of
doing Umrah. He was asking
the Saudis to make documents
of proofs that the money was
given to him.
The scandal thickened. Tun
Mahathir started to ask him
to show the 1Mdb's money if
the money was not stolen.
Najib told the Parliament
the money was in Singapore's
bank. When Singapore denied
he said it was in unit
forms.
Then Najib kicked Ghani
Patail and replaced him with
Apandi. The DPP, Kevin
Morais was found dead. In
the timing of this death
news spread that Ghani was
about to charge Najib in
court. DOJ took interest in
1Mdb as money laundering had
taken place in the their
country and published their
investigation about the flow
of money into Najib's
account. The Swiss authority
also did the investigation
about the money laundering
in their banks.
Najib instructed that 1Mdb
cannot be discuss in
Parliament. The highest
authority, the AG, had
announced that there was
nothing wrong or irregular
in 1Mdb. It was running
perfectly. That was to
become law.
As the issues mounted Najib
and his family went to a
trip to Australia and New
Zealand which had opened up
suspicion that part of the
stolen money were in ANZ's
banks. Both countries
refused to co-operate with
the new Malaysian
government.
It took him years and after
being cornered for him to
say that the money is for
the party to win General
election. Nothing more but
to appease the UMNO leaders.
Najib began to send
people for pilgrimage with
1Mdb's money. Cash handouts
were very massive.
As the election drew nearer
he tried hard to erase the
story of kleptocracy. He
made attempts to corrupt USA
Presidents. He tried to get
the world to save him, to
say he is good and clean. At
home he and his wife
continued to be arrogant. He
used gangsters to threatened
and injured the public.
Najib's tactic is to go
directly to influential
people to ask for help and
play a sad face. He did it
with Anwar before sending
the later to jail. He did
with Obama and Trump. He did
it to Johor Royalty and
Agong. He did it to Hadi and
whoever he could lay his
hands on.
The people want Najib,
Rosmah and those who
supported him punished. They
are underestimating what the
citizens can do to them, And
what the rakyat is capable
of. They know that Rosmah
not only keeps the stolen
money at home but also
carried bags of them while
making a trip to Turkey. She
had been lying through her
teeth. She saved from young
to buy a million ringgit
ring. Later she said that
she had
return the ring to the
relevant person whom
we don'teven know.
Apandi Ali was an accomplice
as he said there was nothing
wrong with 1Mdb and at the
same time making the
Auditor's Report as National
Secret. The recent exposure
of the report and the
admittance of Arulkanda told
us that 1Mdb was in a big
mess. Arul even said that he
did not know where the money
was.
Apandi is a Kelantanese. The
Royal Highness The Yang
Dipertuan Agong is also a
Kelantanese. Now it is
clearly seen how difficult
the Agong is towards
changing the new AG. He
wants to protect Najib as
well.
Najib, not only had
plundered with the national
coffer, he is also wanting a
civil war to happen. Simply,
he does not want to go to
jail.

OUR MONEY, NOT YOURS
When I told my Whatsapp
group that I donated RM6K,
one seemed to say that I
spent so much money for
nothing. What is in my blood
is patriotism, to help the
country in the smallest way
that I can contribute. It
wasn't much compared to my
other friends. But the same
person has spent more than
30K for buying radio
equipments that is lying
around everywhere. He
doesn't even want to sit for
the Morse test like some
others who have been
enjoying the hobby with much
lesser expenditure.
I know of many other fellows
who bought a radio that cost
above RM12K a set. And they
owned several equipments.
Their expenditure on radio
exceeds RM30K.
Not everyone wants to have
solid benefits, something
that they could see and
touch. Travelling and
donating and giving alms do
not result in tangible
things. They are spiritual
in nature, lying in our
hearts and souls forever.
Dying for a country may not
be a martyr but we die with
the spirit of patriotism.
I would never sneer or
condemn those who refuse to
donate. That is their own
business, their money. I
would not say they are
unpatriotic even because
giving money is not the only
way that we can show our
love to our nation.
But we can be a traitor in
many ways. Attempt to stop
by discouraging others to
donate to national fund is
one of them. It is a
sabotaging effort to further
burden the nation.
If I pick a poor man to be
my leader I am willing to
buy a bread for him. So are
millions of us. If we pick
up a rich man to be our
leader and we decide to give
him our money so be it, as
long as he does not force us
to contribute. And we don't
ask those who refuse to be a
donor to donate.
Now we hear they are yelling
their heads off that the
government can afford to pay
the loans made by Najib.
Then why must Najib collect
GST and cut the subsidies ?
The foul moth politicians
have God to answer. No one
realize that it was God's
wish that they were to be
repelled.
By logic and common sense BN
could not lose the election.
No one believed it including
Lim Kit Siang and Najib
himself. Instead of
repenting they keep on
showing their arrogance and
trying to protect the
criminals.
We know what will happen
when GST is scraped. We
can't replenish the lost by
the same amount but we can
help with our small
pittance. The Koreans did it
with their gold and other
precious metals. The queued
up to hand their belongings.
They survived and now they
are one of the top exporters
of the world. Their mind
setup should be our
benchmark. If we can't give
our jewelleries we give our
money. If we can't give a
hundred we give a dollar.
God knows the truth. The God
that rules us is the God of
all human beings whoever
they are and wherever they
are.
There are individuals who
donate a million ringgit
each.
We should have a high
standard of morality and
responsibility.
Before I end this episode
here is I quote from a
reader of Malaysiakini
Let's not speculate and wait
for the Conference of Rulers
meeting on Tuesday for their
collective decision. I am
sure the Rulers will all
agree to follow the rule of
law as set out in the
Federal Constitution.
Remembered that outburst by
our present MACC chief about
requesting the help of the
Rulers regarding the
investigations on Najib
Razak but there were no
actions taken by the Rulers.
And remembered the press
statements issued on behalf
of the Rulers that the
Rulers had taken actions at
that time according to the
Federal Constitution. So I
am sure the Rulers will act
in the appointment of Tommy
Thomas as the Attorney
General as advised by the PH
government according to the
Federal Constitution which
is the Supreme Law in
Malaysia. Also if any
provision in the
Federal Constitution can be
contradicted by the Rulers,
then the PH government can
also act in contradiction of
all other provisions of the
Federal Constitution as a
precedent has been set by
the Rulers. |

SLOWLY SLOWLY CATCH THE
MONKEY
In doing some work I do not
need to hurry. The New Year
is coming soon for the
Muslims. There are plenty to
be done. But I do not take
it a day to complete all the
job. Yesterday I changed one
light bulb that had blown
off. I need to test the
other coloured lights may be
this evening. 50% of my
radio room has been cleaned.
There is no need for a rush.
We jokingly say Slowly
Slowly Catch The Monkey.
The main trouble with me is
that I always forget what I
planned to do, remembered
them after some incidences
or after a couple of days
time. A couple of days ago I
decided to replenish my
Vitamin E yesterday. I only
remembered it when I was
fetching the last one. To
make sure I will have the
supply tonight I went to the
Pharmacy the first thing in
the morning.
However there isn't much
left to be done. I don't
need a new curtain or a
floor mat. I only need to
re-arrange my things like
camera, radio, switch boards
and books so that they would
look orderly and neat. I
know when my kid return home
she will do the house
cleaning and the arrangement
again. And when she does, I
will be having problem
finding some of my
belongings. This time I want
to hide them in my radio
room for safe keeping.
Tomorrow is the 4th of June,
the date for the early
pension payment. The next
payment will be on 21st
July. If I used the money to
spend for the festivities I
will have to suffer bearing
the waiting for the next
income. So I switched off my
mind for further purchases
and decorations. That will
save some for my trip to
China in September. But the
full payment has to be made
in July.
I plan to buy a couple of
bicycles for my two grand
children who will be coming
back soon. That will be
about RM600.
I am not a systematic guy. I
should have jotted all the
plans on a sheet of paper
and refer to it everyday,
cross a line on things done
and add to whatever new that
crosses my mind. Instead
while sitting and relaxing I
just asked myself "What else
I am going to do ?" |

DO WE NEED KING ?
Tradition says that a
Ruler or a King is a Shadow
of God. He represented God in
this world to command the
subjects to observe the
Teachings of God. Before the
coming of religions a King
was feared by all as he was
said to have a strong power.
People who did not agree
with a Ruler could fall sick
and died.
There are only a few
countries with their Kings
today, differ in their
functions and status from
the old ones. After King
Norodom Sihanouk was
stripped off, the subsequent
monarchy of Kampuchea do not
have the old glory anymore.
The Thai populace still
prefer to have a King in
their lives.
The preference whether to do
away with monarchy or to
retain them, among other
things is a factor of their
characters and behaviours. A
King can't afford to have
half of the population who
want the institution been
closed. The most peaceful
way to rid off the royalty
is through referendum as was
done in Italy. If 75% of the
populace does not like a
King and the army is trying
to defend the institution
there will be bound to be
bloodshed. More often than
not this will invite foreign
intervention. If this happen
the Kings will have to go.
There is no point to have a
King with erratic behaviour
and who think he is
invincible. Gone are the
days when a King can kill
his subject and get away
with it. And today news
travel within second on what
transpires within the wall
of the palace, how thick
they were. I don't mean to
be rude but I want to point
out the truth of the
situation. The Royalty of
Johor called for the citizen
to vote for BN but the
Rakyat refused to obey. This
is one indicator the Johor
King should start to think
and ponder. Similarly the
situation in Selangor.
It is bad for the Kings to
play with fire. The risks
are great. Every eye will
see and focus on ever
palace. And we cannot
underestimate the will of
the people.
People may misunderstood of
what they saw. Their
conjecture may be right or
wrong. The best is not to be
seen as anti-rakyat, for a
man can turn into a beast as
told by history of the world
and Southeast Asia. The kids
during Po; Pot regime
carried gun to shoot their
teachers and professionals.
No one showed respect to the
King of Cambodia then.
It is imperative for a King
to show his wisdom instead
of making himself to be
perceived like a fool.
I already read a few
articles insinuating the
need to rid the Sultan,
presented in a logical and
pertinent manner. In fact we
can't afford to have even 10
people to think that we do
not need to have a King
anymore. We cannot hide
behind the guns and arsenals
forever. Remember whoever
would have thought BN would
fall.
I put this out for the good
of the nation and the
longevity of monarchy
system. We want it to be
relevant in our country. The
will of the Rakyat must be
respected in order to gain
their respects.
I just read people's
views in the paid social
media, from both the
opponents and the
proponents.
I was not wrong in my
prediction on the earlier
part of the article.

BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP WITH
CHINA
Bilateral relationship with
China is important as long
as they are done without any
hidden and ulterior motives.
Under Najib the relationship
created fear as Najib was
solely depending on China to
bail Malaysia out of a big
loan. And he needed the
money for his own greed. The
agreements made with the
Chinese gave China an upper
hand. He forgo our country's
security and created a great
fear by selling lands to the
Middle Kingdom. In addition
we are seen as part of
China's defence against the
United States.
I believe that the ECRL and
the HSR gave billion dollars
kickbacks to Najib which had
had used for his family and
for the party. That pushed
the price up. It was done in
the purchase of Scorpene
sub-marrine.
China is a great country. I
assed the country from the
products she sold in the
country which range from the
counterfeit and of low
quality to the most Hitech
and intelligent toy. The
drones are one of the best
and has captured the world
market. This also explains
why China could maneuver
herself in the Outer Space.
Not onlt the drones are sold
at the affordable prices, so
are the other products. So
much so China earns so much
money from selling their
technological products and
tourism.
At the same time there is a
cold war between China and
the United States. We must
not take side and be a
military base for China to
avoid being bomb
unnecessarily by the United
States in case of the war
breaks between them.
Malaysia must dare to
dictates terms when making
agreement with China unlike
during the era of Najib.
We have to create our own
growth, creating our own
capital similar to what the
Koreans did. We were as
equal footing with Korea in
the 70's. But our poor
leadership and strong
corruptions and our civil
servants caused us so
much failures. Imagine we
even have a Chief Minister
who only passed the Lower
Certificate of Education,
almost illiterate in
technical and financial
matters.
Remember, China is not our
foe but we have to preserve
out integrity and
sovereignty. |
02/06/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
YOU NEVER KNOW HOW
PATRIOTIC THE CHINESE ARE
The younger generation of
the Chinese only know
Malaysia as their motherland
and always think they are
loyal Malaysians. You would
not know them unless you are
with them. At the
non-political level we are
at equal status. Friendships
are real without any hidden
intent.
In general the minds of the
Malays need to be changed.
They are to be trained to be
competitive, hardworking and
to be independent. Otherwise
they would continue to blame
the others for their own
failures and poverty. Their
outlook are still skewed,
myopic in vision and when in
power they are very
arrogant.
UMNO has been ruling for 60
years. None took the effort
to analyse what made the
Malays so backward comparing
with their counterparts. And
their minds are still
standing so low. Let me give
the most recent example.
Recently the government set
up a Trust Fund to help the
nation to relief a big loan
by Najib's administration.
The populace were called to
donate. It was not a crime
not to donate.
As people were sacrificing a
little pittance for the
nation we heard voices
yelling against the
government for setting up
the donation box and call on
the citizens not to
contribute. Donations began
to pour in instead. A friend
of mine started with 1K. He
is a Malay. Another friend
planned for a long term
donation of RM250 a month.
His office mates are paying
RM100 monthly. And they are
Chinese.
These people love their
country.
It is the time now to ask a
blank question again to the
UMNO ministers whether they
are still with Najib and
approve in the making such
big loan ? Are they willing
to pay ? Are the Malay PAS
members willing to pay ?
They are the ones who should
be chased out of the
country. Zahid should go
back to Java and Najib to
Makassar. These are traitors
to the country. They did the
shitting and they want
others to clear their shits.
What a stinking beasts.

THE KOREAN MENTALITY
When our government is
asking for donations there were people
who vehemently shouting and yelling.
condemning the government and inciting
the people not to donate. As an ordinary
citizen I wrote in the Facebook that
this is a donation that do not make
criminals out of those people who do not
wish to do so. It is not their business
to bar people from saving the country.
So far the protestors seem to be the
Malays.
Compare to the Koreans
who sacrificed their gold jewelleries,
we are nowhere. It reflects our
mentality. I feel so sad that these
Malays refuse to wake up from their
sleeps. Remarks from the Islamic Party
were more shocking, "Let thery bear and
pay the burden. The next time we take
over the country we don't have to pay
anything."
Heirlooms, wedding rings and gold medals
The Korean people tackled the crisis
head-on. Starting in January 1998, the
government asked the country's citizens
to donate their gold jewelry to help
repay the loan more quickly. Millions
answered the call and went to special
collection points to give the government
what they could in heirlooms, wedding
rings, or small gold figures, such as
those traditionally presented in Korea
on a child's first birthday. Athletes
brought in gold medals and trophies.
"These things are connected with
beautiful memories and very precious,"
said Sung. "My parents were among those
who donated the gold jewelry they'd
received as gifts on my first birthday."
A friend's family, she said, donated the
entire contents of their household
jewelry showcase to the government's
collection center.
The result was impressive. Within
months, 227 tonnes of gold were
collected, valued at more than $3
billion, according to a report in
Hankyoreh newspaper. Voluntary action
contributed to enabling Korea to repay
its IMF loan ahead of schedule, after
just three years.

THE SYMPTOM OF THE HEART
DISEASE
When you are having a fever
you know the state of your
health. Our body tends to
become weak. But there is a
hidden disease that we might
not know that resides in our
body. It is the heart
disease that might strike us
anytime anywhere without
warning. You are advised to
go for the regular medical
check up and to have the ECG
test.
When I see a temperamental
man, easily angered at a
slight provocation and
always having an ill feeling
towards the others I would
suspect he is prone to heart
disease. He may get a stroke
at anytime. I measure the
degree of anger also through
his aggressive writings or
comments on people he
dislikes. Lately I found
plenty of such persons on
the Facebook. It is not
about his criticism but
about how he puts them into
words.
An arrogant and vicious
person is never a healthy
person, in my assessment.
Make him check his Blood
Pressure reading or even his
heart condition. I doubt his
medical condition will show
a remarkable state.
I may be wrong in my
hypothesis. But you can
always do your own
observation. Look at his
eating habit, his behaviour
and his temperament. They
may have some correlation
with each other and
contribute to the unseen
disease.
However I do have friends
who are always cool,
non-temperamental and never
show any anger, jealousy or
hatred towards others who
died at an early age hit by
stroke. I don't know. I
might be wrong in my
conjecture.
I think we should not take a
chance. We should restrain
ourselves from being too
emotional, angry and having
ill feeling towards others. |

TEACH YOURSELF
When I got entangled with
the hobby, aerial
photography using drone, I
have to learn many things on
my own. One such thing is
the usage of an editing
software called the I-Movie.
It was Greek to me yet I
have to put in it my
captured video to put music
and sub-titles. Though it is
User-Friendly, it is not as
easy as cut and paste stuff.
I started with exploring
menu by menu. I have been
doing several editing
already but I still do not
know many of the functions
and I never want to
experiment with them
anymore.
Teaching oneself has the
advantages and
disadvantages. There is
bound to be something
difficult to understand or
things fail to operate.
Without a teacher or an
instructor, one will go
nowhere. The good thing is
one can train oneself to
think. The thinking,
experiment and discovery
will extend one's vision and
creativity.
For an aged person the power
of the brain declines to a
very low level. Senility and
forgetfulness impede
learning process. So much so
we are advised to rest more
and go for holidays, to
avoid putting burden on
ourselves. We were told to
forget politics, not to buy
and play with drone and to
leave things to the younger
people.
However with the age of
internet we can still get
aid from various sources. On
the operation of my drone I
would seek the help of the
Youtube. Similarly on a few
tips to run the I-Movie.
They are ample enough to be
our guides and instructors.
I still remember on how I
learned Morse codes in the
old days. There were no
classes, no teachers, no
computers and no teaching
aids. Each one of us had to
device his own method. We
started from the scratch.
I created the codes sounds
and recorded them using the
cassette. Effective or not I
can do Morse codes at about
25 words per minutes. That
was a pure 'teach yourself
venture'.
I still have a lot to learn
about flying a drone. There
are so many modes that I
have not even tried, like a
fixed wing or a tap fly.
Similarly I still need to
strive to use some of the
functions used in the
I-Movie. There are still
rooms and time for me to
explore.

The Unknown Future
God knows the best. In
several of my previous
articles I wrote on the fate
of this country under Najib
and Rosmah entitled WHAT'S
NEXT. I decided to stop
asking the question since
events are almost reaching
the peak. But looking at the
current situations I think I
need to resurrect it again.
What will happen to fate of
the Sultans in time to come
?
We cannot underestimate the
mind and thinking of the
people. We still think
people are still dumb and
stupid. We don't know the
populace are watching us.
The Sultans should
understand the history of
the world and learn from it,
about the institution of
monarchy and the rise of the
republic. These nations are
in front of our eyes.
Amazingly people's eyes could see
behind the thick wall of a
palace, and keep what they
saw in their hearts. The
respect and disrespect of
the Sultans depend on
people's perceptions. Eyes
have been focussed on Johor,
Selangor, Kelantan and even
the Royal Highness of The
Yang Dipertuan Agong.
We say that Anwar Ibrahim
will be the Prime Minister
after Tun Mahathir. Only God
knows what's may happen
next. People never expect Tun Mahathir to live beyond
97 or 100. He will step down
soon. And Anwar may be
defeated in an election.
People will vote for an
Independent Party, thereby
dismissing him as a Prime
Minister. God decides.
It is good that people vent
their anger through the
ballot boxes. Even in the
modern time people still ran
havoc killing their enemies
mercilessly like the ancient
time as what had just
happened in Myanmar
recently. The royalty in
Cambodia only survived by
Hun Sen but royalty has lost
the strong sovereignty.
If the majority of the
Malaysians believe in one
face and the royalty in
another there is a bad sign
approaching. Bad news spread
fast. Almost no one ever
believe that BN would fall
with all the strategy and
fortifications. I know cruel
government would fall but
not so soon. Likewise it is
wise for the Sultans to
think in the same line. They
must not be seen as
partisans by the rakyat.
Johor, Selangor, Kelantan
and the Crown must be aware
of the eyes upon them.
Because we do not know what
will happen next, we should
more wise. Our expectations
and predictions may fall
short. There is such thing
as divine intervention to
the believers. It can be
accidental.
You may not believe when I
asked who will be the next
Prime Minister, a friend
replied Mat Sabu. He said
Anwar might not be chosen by
the people. Mahyudin is seen
as racist. mat Sabu is the
most humble and most likable
person. This never cross
people's mind. It sounds
crazy. But the impossible
and the unthinkable can
happen.
This is a simple essay by a
simple old man. The blog is
mainly for my own perusal.
Yet I hope for a very few
persons who read it will
just speak and spread of the
substance, the simple
philosophy behind it for the
sake of building a better
nation. |

TRUST FUNDS
So far I have not any
service to the government.
All along my teaching life,
deep in my heart, I was
doing my duty to the
children regerdlass of their
race and creeds. With the
trust fund I hope to
contribute in my small way
to lessen the burden of this
nation to pay for our huge
loan made so far by the
government. I felt the
burden. I voted for PH not
to be richer nor to ask for
more bonus but to eliminate
those who were corrupt and
dishonest.
I am not a rich person but I
compute my earning and
expenditure pretty well. I
save thousands a year for
not smoking, buying
newspapers or subscribing to
Astro. I drive a small Viva.
The pension that I have is
enough to pay the utility
bills, internet fee, the
cat-food and my daily bread.
I am able to keep some for
travelling, to have
luxurious and exotic food
once in a while. When I have
10K in my account I feel it
is plentiful and thanked God
for the sustenance and the
providence.
While others are criticizing
the new government for the
small bonus and setting up
the Trust Fund, I am happy
enough with the RM200 bonus.
At first I was thinking of
allowing the bank to cut
RM100 a month for the trust
unit but on thinking hard
and deep I decide to pay the
full amount of RM6K,
equivalent to RM100 for 5
years. This is all I can do
for the rakyat and the
government. Thank You God.
What is RM6K compared to my
all other expenditure. I
bought a drone for 5K and an
iPhone6 for the aircraft for
more than 1K recently. I
went to enjoy myself in
Maldives and spent for
almost RM5K in all. On
coming September I will be
going to China's Silk Route
for almost RM10K. And added
all to my previous trips
there were more than RM150K.
I thank God for enabling me
to serve my government once
in my life time.
My
donation
A
friend's donation
There is no force as done in
the GST. A ringgit a month
will be good enough. For 5
years it will amount to
RM60. Many people would be
happy to pay RM50 or RM100
at one go.
PAS has said that let the
new government bear the
burden, similar to saying
'serve PH right'. They
forget that we are paying
for their generation too.
They don't have to donate
and those who refuse to
contribute too have their
right not to do so as long
as they do not curse the
people like us. 6K or 1K is
not a big amount compared to
what God had blessed us
with. If God provide us with
more, we probably would
contribute more in addition
to this one. If you can't
really afford, please don't
force yourself.
As I have always said that
God has given me more than
what I need for my own.
Thank you God once again.

HOPE
FOR THE BEST THE NEXT DAY |
There is nothing better than the good
health that we should always hope to
have the next moment and the next day.
Mr Chong who was doing a dialysis
together with my wife was a millionaire
businessman said "Cikgu money is useless
now..." He tried to buy kidneys but to
no avail.
Many of us are not rich. We ago about
our daily life normally with gay and
happy for our health allows us to. But
we seldom thought about this greatest
gift from God that we have. In fact many
of us simply do not think about God, and
our good health.
I define good health as our ability to
move about freely without any help.
Others may define it as being able to
live and see the beauty of nature even
if they are on the wheel chair. I don't
hope to get a thousand dollars tomorrow.
I hope to be able to wake up and do my
daily chores, driving to town and buy my
meal, going for evening walk and fly my
drone.
Isn't money important ? Certainly yes.
But I don't need a million or a billion,
a Porche or a castle. The maid I hire to
clean my home showed her happiness with
the RM50 she received and thanked me
profusely. Ah Hwa who came to do a
repair work, refused to take RM200 I
paid him for his service.
It is happiness and satisfaction that
count. It is our good health that
matters. Rather than thinking of our own
interest we should also think of others
and hope for the people whom we have
helped would be better off the next day.
It brings us joy to see their successes.
Our country is in crisis now. It is not
wise to throw the blame but to pray for
the best to come the next day.

WHEN THE
STUPID THINKS HE IS SMART |
How do I consider a stupid
person ? A person is stupid
when he cannot resolve a
simple problem by his mind,
low educated, deficient of
knowledge and presenting
illogical argument. When he
thinks he is very smart and
intelligent he would elevate
himself to the level of god
and see all other people as
stupid, dumb and inferior.
Failing in verbal argument
he would resort to muscle
and vicious actions.
Else he would shout and yell
his heart out.
We don't argue with such
kind of a specie. We avoid
them or make them vanish in
the thin air depending on
how difficult they made on
us. The worst of all are the
bigots. The religious ones
are as good as terrorists.
If not checked they will
become very dangerous virus.
We remember the Pol Pot
regime in Cambodia who used
kids to kill educated people
and professionals.
Freedom and democracy is not
to spread hatred and to
incite the masses to destroy
another human being. These
people can call you pig but
you cannot even call them
stupid. If you do not agree
with them you are not only
an outcast but you are a
sure infidels. To them to
kill you is a martyr.
These stupid people will
call doctors, lawyers,
professors and all other
highly educated people
stupid. I have a friend who
didn't go to college but
addressing engineers and
lawyers as clowns and
morons. I have a simple way
to break him down, just by
asking him to describe in
detail how the related
subject works. If he talks
about the radio conversion I
would ask him to explain the
whole process of conversion.
If you argue with a bigot it
is just like arguing with a
cow. You waste your time and
energy. |
I would naturally respect
two types of people, the
computer programmer and the
chess player. That does not
mean I would despise the
others. It is just that
those two are parallel to my
likings.
I wrote computer software
before and I used to play
chess for many years. Both
need logical and strategic
thinking procedures and
algorithm,
I have yet to find religious
bigots who are good in
either one of these. Instead
of using brain and reason in
arguments they would verses
from the Koran. And they
were to loose any argument
they would immediately say
you are infidels, against
Islam or the end of the
world is near. The one that
I always heard was the
infidels would always never
agree with them.
Sad indeed
