CHANGES TO
QISTINA.NET
There is no serious
outside ad yet. But
I continue to
improve the first
page of the website.
The previous one
displayed the
picture vertically,
only a single image.
This displays 7
images in a row. The
title and the phone
number will be shown
as the mouse hovers
on the image, seen
on the QRP Radio
above.
For the moment this
is ample for quick
perusal. Improvement
will made in time to
come.
You may want to look
at the codes for the
above display.

Qistina.net is not
boosted yet. It
means people don't
know about it. To
boost it I need to
make payment in US
currency, which I
will never be able
to do. I do not have
credit card.
To make it like
Shoppe or Alibaba,
there is a need to
have a team,
including a web
programmer. There
are a lot of work
that need to be
done. In the
meantime I am doing
the testing and
experimenting and at
the same time
putting in a few
real ads.
Actually the
uploading of any ad
is simple. One needs
to just upload a
picture of the
product to sell. Any
information is keyed
on the left box.
Even the picture
name will be written
automatically. Price
format is in numbers
like 2000 instead of
2K. The PIN number
is for the supplier
to make any editing
to the posting made
and to check the
items purchased. as
soon as the button
is clicked the
picture will be
added to the above
page. |

THE 2.6 BILLION -
LOOKING AT ANOTHER
ANGLE
We discussed the
1mdb. We talked but
2.6 billion
donations. Both are
linked to Najib
Razak as he was at
the centre of both.
1 Mdb drained off
our money for
nothing. 2.6 billion
brought in the money
for Najib to freely
used as he wished.
One is on the left
hand of the son of
Razak, the other is
on the right hand.
He was the master.
My question is why
he didn't use the
so-called donation
to recover the 1Mdb
lost and it's debt
but instead he used
it for political
purpose ? Or he just
didn't care at all.
Then he said he
returned the
donation to the
donor ? Again why
should he return
instead of solving
the 1Mdb's saga.
To understand the
whole thing you need
to understand
Najib's character.
This man can be
described as a
faceless man, a very
selfish man. While
he was trying to put
Anwar in jail, he
went to see the
later seeking for
help to clear his
name in the eyes of
the world. Anwar
gave a simple answer
that he could not do
anything. He was
nobody and under
investigation.
As gossips and
scandal towards
Rosmah ran wild, he
and Rosmah went to
see Tun Mahathir and
conferred Dr Asmah
with a title, hoping
he could clear
himself and his
wife. So it went
with Obama and later
Trump, trying to get
help from them on
the 1Mdb issue.
I am never wrong to
say he shuttled to
Saudi Arabia seeking
help from them just
to say the money was
a donation. That was
after years later.
That was Najib's
style. He will try
to buy even his arch
enemies to save him.
I am also very
certain that
evidences were
fabricated and the
real ones were
destroyed. He paid
people by millions
to do the dirty jobs
for him, paying
writers to write
auto-biography on
Rosmah and to insert
lies in them. He
employed consultants
to advice him.
Instead of paying
for the loans with
the so called
Saudi's money, he
further imposed the
GST tax, which we
know the fund was
misused for his
personal gain.
Najib has plenty of
money left with him,
which I believe in
ANZ banks though a
few suspect that
they are kept in
Hong Kong. At home
they are hidden at
the unknown places.
They loot can be
found if there is a
large team assigned
to do a
methodological
search though it may
take years. Dogs
could be used to
comb any buried cash
and jewelries.
Of course the most
effective way to get
back the money is
through torture. It
is a task that we
have not choice but
to employ.
All along Najib has
been planting words
into the mouth of
the Arabs, trying to
make things look
legal. You see the
statement the
King asked Najib to
keep it a secret.
It started with the
fund to fight ISIS.
Then changed to
ensure of BN's
victory the General
Election. Because he
knows that we
further question the
donor, they came up
with the answer that
the donor was dead.
Imagine a man who
kicked his friends
away to follow the
wish of a foreigner.
Any honest Prime
Minister would have
to inform the
cabinet and his
Deputy about the
money for the
election. At least
he could say 'WE
HAVE THE MONEY.
DON'T ASK WHERE I
GET IT FROM. USE
THEM TO WIN THE
ELECTION..' To me
all these answers
came from his lawyer
Shafiee whom we know
how he lied about
the 9.5 billions.
The modus operandi
is identical.
They tried to fool
the US court with
all the lies. But
the judges did not
buy them.
To surmise my
comments, Najib
should solve the
1Mdb loan with the
donated money rather
than returning them
back.
As far as I am
concern even the
documents are
planted and dates
were changed to suit
the timeframe.
That's what CASH IS
KING means to Najib.

THE BEST
BREAK-FREE OLD MAN
A young Chinese
salesman at the
drone shop said,
"Uncle to make a
drone movie like
that ? " I showed
the sales staffs of
one of my clips
posted on the
Youtube. He showed a
surprise face.
He was not the
only one who was
astonish seeing an
old man like me
managing my drone,
there were others
who were looking at
me while on the
jogging track. And
other old men would
have been having
similar experience.
As I have said
before that I
developed computer
applications as
well, running an
amateur radio
station with the
call sign 9m2ar, and
of course writing
blog.
I remember at one
time a young lady
gave away her seat
on the train to me,
which I rejected
because I felt fit
enough to stand.
I am just one of the
old folks around,
like Tun Mahathir
and Kader Jassin. I
don't have to
narrate here how and
what the young
people thought about. A big number of
us prefer to be what
we are, do what we
want, to stay away
from active
activities, to be
free without
anybody's control. I
admit that we are
senile to a certain
extend due to
biological
deterioration. Our
memory is slowly
fading.
To me politics is
hell. Politicians
are a special class
of people who will
never be starving
like us. Yet they
are the people
without enough
money. Lying and
corrupting are just
normal to them. They
have all the
luxuries in the
world while millions
of the others have
had never been on a
plane before.
There is nothing
better than being
free like a bird,
with a clear
conscience, no enemy
to fight with, go
where we like and do
what we want, all on
our time frame. It
is the best break
for us, a
long one before we
go to meet God.
The video clip above
is only a simple footing
but it tells about
our taste of music
and how we
appreciate beauty
and nature. We put
them in the best of
the position. It was
not an edited copy
through cut and
paste method of
various scene. It
was one single
scene. It depicts
our state of mind as
well, despite our slow mobility
and the sign of
senility.
There are more video
clips around in the
Youtube. In the
search box just type
man4855.

WHO IS GOING TO
LEAD THE VOTE OF
CONFIDENCE AGAINST
TUN, ANWAR ?
Am I wrong to say
that your principal
mentor is Rafizi ?
And am I wrong to
say both of you
thought BN lost
because of you and
Rafizi ? Both of you
would still be in
jail had nor because
of the people.
Instead of working
for the rakyat you
people are
struggling for
power. You want to
be a Prime Minister.
You talked about
ousting Tun Mahathir
out once the PD move
gives you the
winning ticket. How
could you deny it
when whatever you
have said was
recorded by your own
team mate ?
From all your
actions I would say
you are a very
myopic person. Do
you remember during
the GE13 that you
have THE NUMBERS and
you would be a Prime
Minister ? What
happen then ? And
now you want to oust
the man who work
hard for your
freedom ? It is not
only our Malaysians
had said you are
KACANG LUPA AKAN
KULIT but the rest
of the world will
say the same thing.
Even your Mallot who
fought so much for
you will look down
upon you with
disdain.
We have sympathize
with you all along
with your
predicaments and
happy when you were
out of jail never to
know that you would
be close to UMNO.
Ask yourself why
Najib approached for
your help when he
himself planned your
incarceration with
Saiful ? We hated
Najib to the core as
you were jailed. We
even believed the
pilot of MH370 was
so frustrated with
Najib that he dived
down the plane. And
Shafiee was trying
to make you believe
that he followed
Tun's instruction.
Mind you Shafiee
made a road show to
paint bad pictures
on you even after
you were away in the
dungeon. And he got
a check from Najib's
own pocket. Are you
becoming like Najib
?
When Tun put up
cabinet ministers,
none of us
complaint. We just
told ourselves to
wait and see. Rafizi
who was not even an
MP already
complained as if he
represented the
rakyat. Let me tell
you that the number
of Malays who voted
for PH were
monumental in
numbers. An Ice
Kacang men asked his
customers and 9 out
of 10 Malays wanted
Najib out.
What is wrong with
Mat Sabu becoming a
Defence Minister and
Lim Guan Eng a
Finance Minister ?
Do you buy his
argument that LGE is
a Chinese and Tommy
Thomas is not a
Malay ? You think
you want to be a
Malay hero and
champion the Malay
agenda again ?
You must have
believe Rafizi so
much, Anwar. And
Rafizi had made
several errors
before accusing
people of the wrong
things. The last was
about Rahman
Dahlan's brother. It
was not him only who
wanted to fight
corruption and not
him only who went
out for sleepless
campaigns. I
appreciated his work
and had even
suggested for him to
be a second Finance
Minister. But so
soon he started to
show his color by
attacking Tun. Many
ordinary citizens
did not like it
either. And now he
wants you to be like
him, a mentor of
yours.
Without our votes
both of you would
still be in jail.
Oh, you will not
dare to lead the
vote of no
confidence. I
believe even PAS
will hate you for
showing a disrespect
on an old man who is
going away soon.
Even Hadi awang and
Tuan Ibrahim will
detest you. There is
a simple question;
do you have shame ?
Or are you as
shameless as Najib ?
Then you are going
to ask somebody
among the PKR to
call it ? A Chinese
friend of mine said
"LET'S WAIT AND
SEE'.
Please care to read
the feedback from
Malaysiakini. There
are UMNO
cybertroopers and
PKR people inside
there. And there
ordinary people like
me.
You see Anwar, you
chose PD. You
maintain your wife
and your daughter.
Are you not creating
Anwar Ibrahim
dynasty ? Come GE15
PH will disappear
because of you and
your mentor. The
living people will
have to look for a
new saviour, not
UMNO and not Anwar's
Dynasty.
Right now you begin
to look like the
Second Najib.
Adios. |

ANWAR AND LIM GUAN
ENG ARE FAR APART
Some people can
change. What I will
talk about Anwar and
Lim Guan Eng may not
be true the next
day. And I am not
trying to convince
anybody about the
subject matter. Try
to use your mind and
be as rational as
possible rather than
appeal to your
emotion. And my view
are entirely
depending on my
observations and my
knowledge.
When Lim Guan Eng
mentioned about the
welfare of the
people, I
immediately knew
about his sincere
feeling. That was
what he did in
Penang. I talked to
the Penang Malays
and they praised him
and like him very
much. I didn't talk
to the Chinese but I
sensed their likings
with simple Hokien
words 'Penang Lang
bo siang' ie Penang
people are
different. There is
a sense of pride
being a Penanggite
under Lim Guan Eng.
Penang never owed
the Federal
Government like any
other states. not
even Selangor. It
was not because
Penang is rich but
because the managers
did not loot the
state coffers
through various
means, and hiking up
the cost of the
projects. It takes
ethics, honesty and
sincerity to do it.
And Lim Guan Eng is
qualified in the
field of financing.
We seldom heard Lim
Guan Eng bombarding
his rhetoric like
Anwar Ibrahim.
Mind you he was
jailed twice under
Mahathir. Yet when
Mahathir became a PM
again after May
9,2018, he was made
a Federal Minister,
the Finance
Minister.
This rose the
jealousy of Rafizi.
Rafizi is also a
bright young man.
But I traced his
bragging about his
capabilities during
the campaign.
Really, I never like
people who praise
themselves and
bragged of their
numerous
achievements.
I happen to know
Anwar, his family
and relations. I
talked to him when
were still kids as
his mother brought
him to my kampong.
He was a student of
the Malay College
and I was from
Sultan Abdul Hamid.
It was during that
time he had said
that he wanted to be
a Prime Minister.
And I, being a bad
student, had no
ambition and did not
respond listening to
his remarks.
I am not going to
talk about his
family. Mine wasn't
perfect either. Many
years later when I
was in university I
began to hear about
him again. That was
the time when I knew
Hishamuddin Raid,
Shafiee Abdullah and
a few other
dissidents. I
supported the
student's movements
and was also an
anti-establishment
person.
Anwar joined PAS.
But later Mahathir
took him into UMNO
hoping he would
bring changes to the
country. Mahathir
had wanted him to be
a Prime Minister,
from the Finance
Minsiter. That rose
unhappiness and
jealousy among the
fellow members.
Later he was ousted
from UMNO. He
started to campaign
against Mahathir. I
hated Mahathir too
and giving much
support to PKR. When
the sodomy case came
up I believed it was
all made up.
Following the court
case, I believed
that the authority
fabricated evidence
and had frame up up
the story. He went
to jail. I
sympathized with him
and still hated
Mahathir.
When Adullah Ahnad
Badawi became a
Prime Minister Anwar
got his released. I
still sympathized
with Anwar till the
second sodomy trial.
You may not believe
if I were to say
that we discussed
Mahathir''s
longevity in my
workplace, saying
that God prolong his
life to punish him
and wants him to
repent. We did not
realize that the
punishment came
through his choosing
Najib to replace Pak
Lah Badawi. It
turned out that
Najib was the worst
ever Prime Minister
that I had ever
seen. He too jailed
Anwar Ibrahim. I was
told then that Anwar
Ibrahim had sold a
piece of land to
Israel when he was a
Finance Minister
under Mahathir and
let his crony kept
his wealth. It
happened that this
crony is my friend
too.
Najib followed some
of the other foreign
countries by
following the
Chinese grand plan.
He made lop sided
agreements with
China, and started
to to manipulate his
way through in
making wealth to
himself and divided
them with some of
his friends. His
doings made
Mahathir's past
errors became too
small and
negligible. Anwar
Ibrahim was still in
incarceration. There
weren't no Agong,
Sultan. Nazri nor
Zahid talked of any
intention of
releasing him.
The whole populace
hated Najib who was
very adamant,
disregarding
rakyat;s remarks on
his spendthrift
wife. Then there
were killings of
Hussein Najadi, Teoh
Beng Hock, Atantuya
and Kevin Morais,
about his taking a
long time to admit
of the 2.6 billion,
and about the length
of time to come out
with a donation
story, sbout his
movements to Arab
Saudi etc etc.
It was at this point
that Mahathir came
back into the
limelight again.
They were talking of
a strategy of
ousting Najib. Among
all the political
parties the
government showed
fear on Mahathir's
party BERSATU. Najib
ban Mahathir's party
pressure to ban
Bersatu' Paty's
symbol, cutting
Mahathir's image
throughout Malaysia
and using all
government's media
in attacking the 92
year old man.
An Ie Kacang seller
told me 9 out of 10
Malay customers told
him that they were
for Bersatu and PH.
But as Najib banned
BERSATU and tried to
put Lium Guan Eng in
jail, the people
wanted the
opposition to get
together. DAP
refused to have PAS
in the coalition.
People shouted for
coalition. The only
acceptable and legal
symbol was the Eye.
DAP was willing to
put away their
sacred flag, the
rocket. Few knew
that an EYE was and
is a Masonic symbol.
When Pakatan won the
whole country
rejoiced. Lim Guan
Eng and Mat Sabu
talked of their
detention under
Mahathir's time. I
had expected Rafizi
to be somebody. But
he was still under
detention and was
released later on.
Mahathir was working
hard with Anwar's
release which
angered him because
it was delayed due
to the unnecessary
procedures.
The day when Anwar
was out of jail, he
made a speech. I
remember well his
saying that he would
crush PAS in the
next GE. I was not
in favour of PAS but
I did not like the
way Anwar belittle
and insult the party
at that time. It
wasn't an
appropriate time. A
leader should have
taken just one or
two minutes to thank
God, the Agong, Tun
Mahathir and the
people.
Now we all start to
know more of Lim
Guan Eng as we saw
him on the
parliamentary
debate. He was not
talking like Anwar
Ibrahim, no
pomposity. We
noticed he was a man
of sincerity and
responsibility. If I
were running a new
government I won't
pay a single cent to
whoever make a loan
to Najib. I would
ask them to get the
money from the
ex-Prime Minister.
But LGE took the
responsibility. And
watch how fluent his
Bahasa was even much
better than a
milliion Malays.
On the other hand
Anwar Ibrahim rushed
here and there as if
he was the top
Minister in
Malaysia. Try to
understand why Najib
rang him up seeking
for help though it
was the ex-Prime
Minister threw him
in jail, which may
have been the result
of the missing
MH370. He even used
the government's jet
to go to Kelantan.
Now he says he is
suppose to be the
Prime Minister and
start to spell what
he will be doing
when he wins PD
by-election, to
revamp the cabinet,
and will out
Mahathir through the
vote of
no-confidence.
He moves faster than
Najib, just after
his release from
jail.
The Chinese may not
be a Muslim but they
know what is a
respect. Between
Anwar and Guan Eng
who is more Islamic
in behaviour ? They
are poles apart. |

MY MAIL
Gmail and other
known mailing
systems are
excellent. Only
computer experts and
students in the
relevant subjects
are able to
challenge them. It
is not a game for a
72 year old man like
me without the IT
back ground. In
short I simply
bulldozed.
But I am very exited
being able to
make my way into
having my own
system, which I
called it as My
Mail. All were
coded in Classic
asp, combined with
Visual Basic
scripts. About 25%
of them were found
in the websites,
which I had to
modify to suit my
need. It took me a
few days to figure
out how to upload
files and almost two
days figuring the
file download
methods. Websites
never give all the
details and
descriptions. They
did not want to
spoon-feed every
reader. You need to
use your own brain
and discretion for
the rest.
If you want to call
it SYOK SENDIRI
affair, I would
admit it. I had
never have any dream
of producing
computer
application, flying
drone, sending and
deciphering Morse
codes, globe
trotting, and living
like a King. I was a
bad boy, without
ambition and a low
achiever all the
tine in the world of
former education.
Only when a grave
yard is a few yards
away I began to
acquire several
things within
myself. Everyone
else does achieve
something in his
life, some sort of
providence from
Allah, the God of
all human being.
My Mail started with
the login. If you
are not registered
you need to register
it first. You will
not be able to
register if the
email and the
passwords have been
taken. Then you can
choose to send or to
see your mails. The
sample above shows
the mail content and
the downloading of
an attachment.
But I only allow 4
attachment
accompanying one
mail for the reason
of my limited
knowledge on
attachment system. I
know I could expand
further. The time is
not now.
In sending an email,
you have two
alternatives, either
to send a mail only
or the mail and the
attachment. In both
you need to type
whatever you want to
send and to whoever
the recipient is.
Then you click
either SEND MAIL or
ATTACHMENT button.
Sure it is simple
for the user but it
was a big head-ache
for the maker. |

THE ARRIVAL OF
SECOND NAJIB
We were happy and
rejoice the moment
it was announced
Anwar Ibrahim would
be released from his
incarceration. We
knew how hard
Mahathir worked for
it to undo his error
in the past on this
man. We sympathized
with him and his
family for his
suffering.
To me I expressed my
disappointment on
the day he was
release as he had
made a long speech
condemning PAS and
the others when he
should have a short
minute speech of
thanking to God, the
King and Mahathir. I
told my friends so
about my feeling
then because it
should be a proper
ethics and manners
to do so.
The second shock
jerked me up when
Rafizi condemned
Mahathir using the
word BULLDOZE,
indicating as
disrespect. Rafizi
had believe that PH
won because of PKR,
as PKR had the most
seats. He thought
people voted for PKR.
He was short of
ideas that people
voted for PH and
wanted Najib and GST
out.
Rafizi was smart but
not all what he said
was correct. We all
remember on several
issues where he had
to retract his
accusations.
Politics is not a
game of errors for
the impact on the
normal people would be too
painful.
PH supporters did
not oppose for Anwar
to be the next PM
though they began to
see that Anwar's
family will be
ruling the country.
But now things began
to change. Anwar
began to become
Najib 2, which I
believe he will
frustrate many of
the voters. Arrogance
began to built
inside him and he is
becoming more and
more like Najib, a
braggart.
As I see it Najib 2
is in the making.
There will be
rhetoric and a hush
hush campaign about
Mahathir, about
Tommy Thomas and Lim
Guan Eng and about
the fate of the
Malays by Anwar's
team. But I know
that this country
will be destroyed
when Anwar becomes a
Prime Minister. Even
Najib will escape
persecution and be
free like a bird.
You see his daughter
or his wife refused
to relinquish post
to give way for him.
Everybody seems to
be greedy for power.
UMNO wants Anwar to
be pm the quickest
possible time so that Najib could
go scots free. Later they
will stab him saying
his family is
building an empire
for themselves. Tun
Mahathir will not be
in the picture
anyhow as ageing
will call him to
rest. Mind you he is
93 now.
How abut Azmin ? I
never hate or like
him simply because I
am not interested in
him. I would prefer
Lim Guan Eng more
than many of the
Malays. He had gone
into incarceration
twice under Tun
Mahathir but still
respected the old
man. Anwar is
showing what
Malaysia will be
under him only if
you can see the
future.
Now I start to see
Anwar began to lie
just like Najib.
This man will never
learn what gratitude
is. God has put him
in isolation for him
to repent and
realize his errors.
Why wouldn't he let
his wife to become a
Prime Minister ?
I can assure you
that when Mahathir
dies Anwar will
destroy the country
like Najib does.

PREFERENCES
Mankind does not
have identical or
similar likings.
What is one man's
meat could be
another man poison.
We have different
set of views on many
things in the world.
What I will be
talking is
pertaining to the
fraternity of Ham
Radio. And it is
about the
preferences of
memberships of the
ham radio
enthusiasts.
There are old hams
who championed
democracy in the
hobby. They said
that anybody at all
has his right to be
an amateur radio
operators, the
murderer, drug
peddlers, gangsters,
other bad
individuals as well
as good and
honourable people.
That is their
preference.
On the other hand I
have just the
opposite view,
totally
contradicting with
the absolute
freedom. To me a
society, a club or
an organization is
just like a house.
It could be my
house, your house or
ours. If it is my
house I won't want
anybody at all on
earth to make it an
abode for bad a bad
and rogue man. The
congregation of the
house must all be
people of wisdom,
ethical and
honourable. It will
be a clean place
with a group of
clean people. That
is my preference.
Rather than keeping
in my heart, I
choose to voice it
out regardless
whether it is agreed
or not, contemptuous
or not.
It is a sad episode
in the history of
ham radio when we
have rogue and rude
people joining the
hobby. Once someone
hid behind the radio
wave calling the
other PIG,
disturbing the CW
stations with
unending keying
right on frequency
and causing
excessive
disturbances on the
old hams
conversation. This
was never happen
before the coming of
the new class
amateur radio
operators.
There were plenty of
anti-CW mode
operators who would
be making those
people with the
Morse codes their
enemies. And many
condemning the old
hams as stupid and
tried to coach the
later in operational
procedures.
Today these people
are still there
including the PIG
guy. To me the
sanctity and the
glory of ham radio
is over. It is
running with a
polluted membership,
people with a filthy
mouth.
The champions of
free for all amateur
radio should be
happy and together
should join the
group to make the
band merrier. But
they are not there
too.
To me amateur radio
is still alive and
kicking. But ham
radio is almost dead
or considerably dead
as the chirping
sound of the real
Morse codes
disappear. What is a
real Morse ? It is a
Morse codes without
using computer to
send and receive. It
is totally the work
of the fingers and
ears to send and
decipher using the
Morse key. For many
long years ham radio
had been associated
with the Morse
codes.
Never mind if you do
not agree with me.
It is my personal
preference and my
view. But the fact
remains, that those
rogue guys are
within the radio
fraternity.
I still have several
radio sets with me,
keeping them for any
possible
emergencies, and any
unknown catastrophe.
In this country the
path and objective
of amateur radio has
taken a new route,
with new
philosophies. The
old thought and
practices will be
totally buried.
But it is lucky for
us that we can still
having daily
contacts with each
other using the new
communication modes
via computers and
cell-phones. We have
daily chats and
jokes and send
pictures and video
like we used to
enjoy before. As
English were used
then we were sure
those in the house
are consisting of a
well informed
people.
But at time I came
across "See you in
log' instead of'
'See you further
down the log'', one
sign of
deterioration of the
basic standard.
I deplored braggarts
and people with
filthy mouths, may
they be in politics
or amateur radio. So
far these
characteristics are
found among the
Malays. |

WHAT ARE YOU ?
Almost all of
us peruse the
footing on what
Zahid said about Tun
Mahathir. Mahathir
is the son of Mamak
Kutty, degrading his
former boss to the
lowest possible
abyss. After BN went
down he forgot what
he had said to the
old man and had to
gut to go and see
the man whom he had
insulted like a dog.
What are you Zahid ?
You had paraded
yourself as a
gangster and behaved
like one too. I
can't figure out why
people in your
constituency voted
for you. Remember
what you said about
throwing your men
into the river for
the crocodile if
they fail to retook
Selangor ? have you
thrown them ?
You are a very
arrogant and bongkak.
We still keep the
video clip of yours
showing your facial
countenance and
expression of your
grinning teeth, your
body movement and
your body-neck
relationship, a sign
of absolute
arrogance, an
arrogance to the
core. By your words
it made me question
the authenticity of
your so-called PHD.
A highly educated
people will be more
humble as they
understand the world
more.
Didn't you tell the
people to stay with
you as you have the
money to maintain
the strength ? And
that rose a
suspicion and the
gossip that there
were 2.5 billions
under your wife and
daughter's names. We
keep our finger's
cross. In time to
come there will be
new generations who
will look for the
hidden money and
torture your
posterity who carry
with the stolen
money. It is still
early for you to
return the
ill-gotten money
back to the rakyat
if Najib has given
you for the
safekeeping. You
must know that no
people in the
universe will give a
friend billion of
ringgit for
friendship's sake.
King Abdullah did
keep record and
publish them
whenever he made any
donation. And no
donation has to
round the world
before it reaches
you. I am sure you
know that Najib was
pleading with Saudi
Arabia to say their
King did donate. Now
the fact they do not
confirm or deny it,
what does it imply ?
It implies that they
do not know about
it. THINK ABOUT IT.
Being a Malay does
not give you a
passport to be
arrogant, to use
gangsters against
your enemy, to steal
people's money and
to lie to them.
Now your own people
are blaming you for
Mustaffa and
Anifah's resignation
from UMNO. Why ?
These two figures
are brainy people,
unlike the stupid
Noh Omar who can't
think on his own but
had to be fed with
lies. Mind you we
also keep pictures
of Noh happily
giving away money to
voters. And what we
know about Noh
during his school
days. Ask him
yourself.
You have Jamal and
his gangs, Lokman
and his stupidity,
and the corrupt
Anuar Musa who had
manipulated MARA.
You know, when the
British came to
Malaya they wrote
back a report to
their Queen that the
Malays were brown
skinned and
emotional
people who live on
trees. Though you a
Javanese and Java
had a great history
of strong kingdom,
they were all the
same. They did not
sit down o think, to
plan and to set
strategy.
But you are worst as
you support a man
who was running wild
in damaging the
country's coffer by
being guarantors to
bad companies, and
signing blank checks
to China. What are
you ? And you also
announced to the
Malaysians that you
did meet the Arab
donator, and later
said several
donators. King
Abdulah died on
January 23rd after
an illness. Did you
meet him in 2014 ?
He was too weak
then.
Zahid, it is best
for you to forget
UMNO and politics
and help the
country, not Tun
Mahathir or Lim Guan
Eng, to recover our
economy by
accumulating back
all the money lost,
or that went missing
or you deal with
those rogue
companies who were
trying to cheat the
populace.
And apologize to Tun
Mahathir publicly on
what you had said
about him. |

NAJIB SHOULD HAVE
THROWN OUT ROSMAH
DECADES AGO
May be only one or
two persons who read
my blog as it was
not intended to
blazon my view to
all. I know there
will be people to
will disdain my idea
and my poor literary
English. I have
narrated about my
intellectual
capacity and my
detesting formal
education when I was
a young school boy.
I am somewhat
ashamed of the
criticism. But I
used this blog to
express myself in a
very hard way and
that was what I did.
In several articles
entitled WHAT'S
NEXT, I insinuated
about the bad luck
surrounding Rosmah
Mansor, the wife of
Najib Razak. This
lady had thought she
was a gifted in
appearance and
brain. People who
worked with the
ex-Prime Minister
had told me about
the way she acted,
trying to tackle
Najib before
marrying him. She
believed that she
could get anyone she
wanted. True indeed
she she was a
charming and
gorgeous lady.
I don't know about
her relationship
with her family.
Whatever told in the
social media and the
Youtube I regarded
as vengeful talks. I
ignore them. But a
trusted friend who
was close to her
family told me about
her father who was
so angry with her
that he cursed her
as a bitch and
disowned her. He had
to be comforted by
his friends calling
for calmness as she
was his own
daughter.
I had sense the aura
of bad luck and
mentioned about it
just after the
MH370. Then followed
by the shooting of
MMH17. Then there
was a tremor on
Gunung Kinabalu. She
carried what the
Malays called SIAL
with her. The WHAT'S
NEXT has always been
answered.
I insinuated that
Najib should chucked
her off like Taksin
did to his wife.
Marcos was destroyed
by his spouse too.
Rosmah was worse
than those ladies.
She had an office in
the Prime Minister's
department on
herself. She flew on
the aircraft that
was not meant for
her for shopping and
her comfort. She
talked to Presidents
on matters that it
was the work of the
Foreign Ministry to
do. So much so the
people accused her
to be the real Prime
Minister.
Had Najib divorced
her a long time ago
there wouldn't have
be a story of
Altantuya's murder,
of 1Mdb and the
perceived thefts,
Najib's kicking
Mahyuddin, Shafiee
Afdal and Mukhriz
and breaking up UMNO
apart. Najib had
become a liar and a
braggart day by day.
I talked to taxi
drivers and to
business people. All
mentioned the SIAL
of Rosmah. They
blamed her for
Najib's crazy
financial
management.
Now I can't say what
is going to happen
to her. How much did
she hurt her late
father until the
man's emotional
outburst to disown
her.
But I can say one
thing, that it is
God who decides what
fate will befall
her. It is not too
late for Najib to
send her home. After
all the son of Razak
has lost all the
dignity, not only
today but since the
1mdb furore and the
execution of GST.
Just send her home
and let her repent.
Her sins were not
only to God but to
all the population.
She carried people's
money to foreign
land for her to use
in the next world.
How many billions
are enough for her ?
What a greedy lady. |
19/09/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
WHAT WAS NAJIB DOING
ON THE YACHT ?
It was the event of
the past, many years
ago. But I won't
forget it. Najib
denied he knew Djo
Lo then. Most of
didn't know what was
1Mdb all about.
Sarawak Report was
told to be a
portal full of lies.
Somewhere and
somehow I came
across a picture of
Najib and Rosmah,
together with Djo Lo
and Prince Turki
together on the
controversial yacht.
I keep on asking
myself what were
they doing ? I know
people can give a
thousand and one
answers. There ar
many possibilities
but there is only
one truth. Even if
we ask Najib why he
lied about knowing
the man who is now
known as a billion
dollar whale, he
will give us a
thousand and one
answers.
One answer if just
for MAKAN ANGIN, a
mere siesta and
relaxation. I
remember when I
called a father of a
Chinese boy who
insulted his
teacher. The boy
said the Malay
teacher picked up on
him because he was a
Chinese. His father
shouted at him in
Chinese and slapped
him hard," Why among
all the other
Chinese students the
teacher picked on
you ? "
The father was
right. I would ask
the same question
why MAKAN ANGIN with
Djo Lo and Prince
Turki when there are
many other good
friends in the
country, closed to
Rosmah and Najib. It
would be happier to
take all the family
members along with
him.
To talk about 1Mdb ?
That is the affair
of the nation, the
country and the
people. It was not
the affair of Najib
Razak and Rosmah. It
has to be discussed
in the cabinet and
parliament. Najib is
just a man, who was
mistakenly chose to
be a Prime Minister
by Dr. Mahathir.
The people tend to
focus on similar
answer though they
are far apart. I too
think of the same
thing. They are
negotiating and
discussing how to
steal money from the
country and to make
it looked legal. To
our modern term it
is called money
laundering.

COMPULSIVE LIARS
Pathological lying
(also called
pseudologia
fantastica
and
mythomania)
is a behavior of
habitual or
compulsive
lying.[1][2]
It was first
described in the
medical literature
in 1891 by Anton
Delbrueck.[2]
Although it is a
controversial topic,[2]
pathological lying
has been defined as
"falsification
entirely
disproportionate to
any discernible end
in view, may be
extensive and very
complicated, and may
manifest over a
period of years or
even a lifetime.
Najib Razak is known
as a serial liar. I
remember only a few
of his lies
1. He said he did
not know Saiful and
admitted it later
after being
cornered. He said
that he met with
Saiful to discuss
the boy's
scholarship.
2. He said he did
not know Jho Low.
Again pictures
showed that he was
with Djo Lo and
Prince Turki on a
yatch. Why was he
with them ?
3. When he was
accused of keeping
money in his account
he first denied it.
He threatened to sue
several media,
issued an arrest
warren on the author
of Sarawak Report
saying the media
published nothing
but lies.
4. He lied about
money kept in
Singapore's bank to
the parliament.
5. He said he didn't
know the document's
contents that he put
his signatures on.
6. He and his wife
said she kept money
from younger days to
buy expensive
diamonds.
And there other
numerous lies that I
have had forgotten
in detail.
When asked about
1Mdb before GE14 he
tried to dodge them.
He sent Arulkanda to
lie for him in the
road show that
Arulkanda finally
admitted that 1Mdb
was in trouble even
before he worked for
the company.
He lied to the
masses saying that
1Mdb was flourishing
but made the audit
report a national
secret, sacked the
former AG and
suspected in the
murder of Kevin
Morais.
He should be charged
in the court of law
for lying. He
was coached what and
how to lie by
someone. He has a
team to do it.
Recently his lawyer
was traced to have
been lying about the
9.5 million ringgit
that Najib gave him
to ensure Anwar
Ibrahim was in jail.
He said that it was
a nonsense.
Years later after
the money trail was
discovered he said
that it was for his
fee to UMNO and
Barisan National.
His admittance made
the government
charged him for
money laundering and
the income tax
evasion. This lawyer
thought he could not
escape the tax
evasion charged. So
he came out with a
new story. That the
money was a loan
from Najib Razak.
There were three
different stories
from a smart lawyer.
Najib prepared a
long story on the
money he was accused
of stealing. Najib
should tell out the
story a long time
ago instead of
running away and
continued denying
the whole thing was
merely lies and the
West was trying to
bring down the
democratically
elected government.
The members of the
public are not wrong
in making a
judgement. They
don't want to walk
as a free man. He
has ruined the
national coffer. He
misused his power
and not returning
the GST money to the
people.
Though we did not
see what went on in
the dark but we
sensed millions
changed hands. Ask
the people and they
will say the judges
were corrupted.

THE PROBLEM
WITH ANUAR AND PKR
No matter what we
will go for Pakatan,
not because we love
the party but we
have had enough with
UMNO. After a long
60 years of UMNO the
leaders are becoming
arrogant and greedy
and the Malay party
did not serve the
Malays but
themselves. The
worst in history is
Najib being made a
Prime Minister. The
three by-elections
recently spoke
clearly. When we
went for voting we
voted Pakatan
without much
question. And Najib
himself was
attacking Dr
Mahathir from the
beginning to the
end.
The issue of 1Mdb
wasn't brought out
by Tun Mahathir. As
far as I know, it
originated from Tony
Phua. Mahathir came
in later and picked
up with him as news
about were blazoned
by Sarawak Report.
Najib and UMNO
denied of Najib
keeping money in his
account. As the WSJ
published it, he
threatened to sue
the journal. He
shuttled to Saudi
Arabia several time
and later came up
with the donation
story. We will never
forgive Najib and
his cronies. They
are saved by the law
and our
civilization.
Otherwise their
houses would have
been mobbed and
burned when they
lost the election.
The masses believed
in Tun Mahathir.
They know that the
Prime Minister won't
live much longer and
we knew he could
deal with Najib.
But PKR thought it
was their victory.
Recently Saifuddin
credited Rafizi for
the winning. When
Anuar was release he
thought the winning
was because of him
also, forgetting for
a long many years
PKR failed to unseat
Najib. As Tun wanted
to do the best,
Rafizi called Tun a
bulldozer. He wanted
Tun to consult PKR
for any ministerial
appointments. The
members of the
public were shocked
with Rafizi's
statement. the
Chinese said they
voted for Tun and
all wanted Najib to
disappear.
Instead of
consolidation PKR
prefer a breaking
up.
There were words
that Anuar sold a
piece of land to
Israel when he was a
finance Minister.
The words went to
Tun. We do not know
of it's truth but I
can assure you Anuar
select a crony to
look after the ill
gotten gain. If it
is not true Anuar
must go to Tun and
explain about the
issue in good faith
and not to hide of
what had had
happened. Remember,
Anuar's enemy is
still alive and
kicking.
Anuar is confused
now. What he should
have done is to go
and seek the truth
from Tun. Who had
informed the Prime
Minister about any
false news. Instead
he is willing to
listen to Rafizi.
Najib knows Anuar
can be easily
influenced and tried
to seek for his
help. The rejection
was due to the
memory, that Najib
had put him in jail.
That's why Shafiee
made a statement
that it was Tun who
wanted him to
persecute Anwar.
The greed for power
is seen in Anuar and
Rafizi. They are not
thinking of the
country but for
themselves. from the
feedback we gather
in the Malaysiakini,
we conclude the
supporters of
Pakatan are getting
angry with Rafizi.
They regretted in
supporting the
Invoke. And now they
began to see his
true color. But none
knows about the land
deal with the Jews
and which crony was
holding to Anwar's
properties.
PKR must not worry
about Anuar going
for by-election. The
public will still
vote UMNO out. If an
independent
candidate only were
to fight him, there
is a little risk.
Anuar can lose if
the voters see
Rafizi Ramli behind
him. I already asked
people's view on
Rafizi. They simply
hate his attitude.
Now we begin to see
his greed. They say
he is a changed man.
Deep in my mind the
next Prime Minister
will be Wan Azizah.
The populace will
celebrate except for
Hadi Awang and other
PAS members. To them
the best brain are
those who can talk.
Ig God's wants it
Tun will resign
today or next week.
Or God takes him
away to the next
world.
Wan Azizah is one
step away from being
a Prime Minister of
Malaysia.

12/09/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
I AM
A LESSER FOOL
I
don't want to be a
fool like the Malays
in PAS, UMNO and PKR.
At least in my life
I do not have a
dream to be a Prime
Minister and ever
fought for an
office. Though I am
not a pious person,
I believe in God's
providence. Let me
tell you that when I
went for the GE14
election, I never
thought of PKR or
Bersatu or DAP. I
want the change in
government. No
Rafizi nor Tun
Mahathir influenced
me to throw Najib
out. Millions of us
wanted Najib to
vanish for we knew
he lied too much. He
took months to tell
about his 2,6
billion. And that
was after the WSJ's
exposure. the
believe that Najadi
and Kevin were
killed by Najib was
always in our mind.
Yet PKR has become
very arrogant now,
leading by Rafizi.
If PKR does not
believe me try to
put Rafizi in places
where PH had won by
a big majority.
People are angry at
the power struggle.
What this man said
about Tun Mahathir
is now coming back
to himself.
The Malay leaders
are always fools,
immature and short
sighted. They
thought their
thought has reached
the sky, above all
human race.
Instead of being
stupid by following
them, I better quit
knowing their
movements. After all
I have a very short
time to live. At 72
I could die faster
looking at these
leaders. I might do
something else,
going back to enjoy
my hobbies whenever
I can.
It
is more fun to think
and investigate the
computer web coding
with ASP and Visual
Basic Script. It is
a challenge. Only
just now I solved
the problem of
getting the file
names from the
multipart form. I
flipped through
pages and pages of
websites. Thousand
are looking for ways
to look for the file
names in the
simplest form. I
need it to simplify
several input data.
I double my effort
when I am planning
an internet mail
within a domain
name. Images or any
other attachments
from the multipart
form could be
recorded in the
database. There is
no problem to list
all the mail in the
inbox but it is
harder to put back
the attachments.
And you might heard
of the word COOKIES
in computer. I heard
it too since the
beginning of a PC. I
just ignored it.
Only now I have to
find out more about
it for I must have a
global variables to
transfer information
across the pages.
First I started with
a single cookies.
Today I add another
one to transfer a
filename from
multipart form to
another input form.
About more than 50
years ago I had said
that the Malays will
kill among
themselves if the
Chinese and the
Indians are not
here. They are
arrogant, selfish
and greedy. Even if
there were less than
40% of the bad
Malays, there were
too many.
But my computer and
my mind do not
betray me. They
can't lie nor cheat
me. I would be a
lesser fool by
ignoring those Malay
leaders. Beside web
programming I have
drones to look into.
The only drawback it
is a very expensive
hobby. Now there are
drones that can fly
for 30 minutes, with
full sensors to
avoid all round
obstacles and with
the ability to zoom.
It is almost RM6K.
It is fun to talk
about drone than
where to put Anwar
for the election.
They want to it
quick because they
think Tun is going
to die soon.
Time is shrinking
robbed by computer.
I didn't even have
time to go on ham
radio, to hunt for
Morse code stations.
My
www.qistina.net
is not over
yet. The database
for the email
content is not ready
yet. Other pages
need much more
improvements. How
much of my thinking
is in the codes
below ?
The green lines
aren't mine totally.
I had to make the
white ones.
The lines that look
simple but are
magical in nature
are the ones in
yellow,
The whole coding
below produces the
output on the left.
Only if you care to
ponder and think
about it, you will
realize the power of
human mind. It is
very resourceful if
you use it wisely.
It
does not give me
millions or
billions. It does
not make me a Prime
Minister. It gives
me satisfaction and
fulfilling.
It
turns me into a
lesser fool.

OUR
HAM RADIO CHAT
A
very long time ago
when ham radio was
at a glamouring age
ham radio operators
chat with each other
throughout the world
via the air space.
Cyber space was
still unknown and
unseen. Skypes,
Whatsapp and
Facebook were beyond
imagination. Radio
was the King then.
Those who wanted to
join the hobby had
to know English as
it was the medium of
conversation among
the international
members. The radio
examination was made
in English for the
reason. So when we
went hamming we
chat. There were
conversations,
stories, jokes and
other information.
Some spoke for
hours.
One possible reason
was the ability to
speak in English.
The shortest I ever
had were to give my
name, location,
signal report, the
weather, the antenna
and it's height, the
power output and
bidding goodbye.
That was when there
was a pile up,
meaning there were
hundred of stations
were waiting for the
contacts. Having
bored with vocal
chats we would call
our counterparts to
shift to Morse codes
or CW. This too was
a long conversation.
The practice built a
tradition, a ham
tradition of
respects and ethics,
what we shouldn't do
and tried to avoid.
We follow the
traditional pattern.
New people would
look for a teacher,
frequent to his
shack and learned a
few tricks, started
to be a short wave
listener and happily
sending signal
reports and QSL
cards. By the time
we become a full
pledge ham, we just
follow the style and
the practice.
Among the local hams
we gathered every
evening, telling
stories, jokes and
the new things that
we knew. Mind you
they were all in
English.
But those were the
gone days, that will
be totally buried
together with the
old hams. The
tradition has
stopped. Surely some
people had taken the
task to stop them.

THE ARROGANCE
UMNO - READ RAKYAT'S
LIPS
There were three
by-elections past
the GE14 recent era,
the Sungai Kandis,
the Balakong and the
Seri Setia. UMNO and
PAS had taken the
issue of the 100 day
PH failing promises,
and the Malay fate.
They were attacking
SST and Lim Guan Eng
aggressively in
parliament as a part
of campaigning
effort to discredit
the PH government.
PAS and UMNO joined
hand with a fierce
campaign, and
confident of winning
the Seri Setia seat.
The arrogance of
UMNO can be seen on
how they behave and
argued during the
parliamentary
session. Bragging
and boasting and
belittling others
seem to be their
innate nature. The
people witnessed
their insulting Tun
Mahathir during the
last general
election, the
behaviour of Jamal
Yunoss and Najib
Razak even after
losing the polls.
Even today Najib
thins he is still
popular.
Maslan tried to
incite the people to
ramp the toll boost
as PH does comply to
it's promise. Noh
Omar continue to
bring up the water
issue. Tuan Ibrahim
gave D grade to the
PH government. SST
was vehemently
rapped. Yet the
rakyat chose Pakatan
Harapan.
Rakyat know how race
and religion were
used to loot our
national coffer,
leaving it almost
empty. They see UMNO
leaders as gangsters
and Samseng. Just
look at Anuar Musa
and Zahid Hamid and
Lokman and Jamal
Yunoss,
before and after the
derail of UMNO. They
are the same. It was
never wrong for the
top people of the
world to call Najib
a crook.
Do we see any PH
voters went out on
the streets to
protest on the
undelivered promises
? The only
dissatisfaction of
Pakatan voters was
Najib and Rosmah
were not put in the
dungeon and be
vanished forever.
Najib had razed this
nation to the
ground. He denied it
but the people see
it.
Harapan leaders must
also understand the
power of the people.
If the populace can
put them there, the
people can also
throw them and
choose other good
people from other
parties. Let not the
new leaders be
arrogant, braggart
and immoral.
It is very hard for
UMNO to survive.
Those Malays who
were convinced of
their bleak future
will jump on PAS
ship. But many of
the PAS voters voted
the party with the
intent of proving to
themselves that they
are real Muslims and
that's a short cut
path to heaven. They
think they are the
defenders of Islam.
However the time
will come when the
masses will see the
party is cruel and
greedy for wealth
and money. They have
not realize what PAS
is doing to the
natives by rejecting
their ancestral
land, sending
loggers and durian
planters and pushing
the traditional
people away. The
strength only lies
in their rhetoric.
In spite of their
efforts and joining
hands with Barisan,
the Malays still
hold to PH. Who
among them cared
about the toll, the
price of cars and
the petrol ?
As a teacher I saw
how my former
students who have
been in UMNO's boat
behaved. In short
they are very
arrogant. They do
not know what
humility is. And if
you had seen how the
Wanita UMNO behaved
too, you would want
them to vanish too.
But finally God
decides.

MY VIEW ON
SHAFIEE A SNAKE
RM9.5m paid by Najib
was to settle BN
legal fees, says
Shafee
Published:
| Modified:
Lawyer Muhammad
Shafee Abdullah has
admitted to
receiving RM9.5
million from former
prime minister Najib
Abdul Razak, but
said the payment was
merely part of over
RM20 million in fees
owed to him for
legal services
rendered toward Umno
and BN.
He said he had been
providing litigation
services for BN
since the 1990s
without any specific
retainers during the
terms of previous
prime ministers,
from Dr Mahathir
Mohamad to Najib.
"Cases that were
assigned to me and
my firm ranged from
election petitions
to other serious
litigations
involving Umno and
BN. I remember
undertaking
litigation works on
behalf of Umno and
some other clients
in relation to
the mega damages in
defamation matters,”
Shafee said.
Over this time, he
claimed he and his
firm accrued many
uncollected bills
for legal services
rendered, as no
payment was
forthcoming from
Umno despite
promises, with the
exception of "some
small
disbursements."
This was until a
"chance meeting"
with Najib in Sept
2013, where he
raised the issue of
the unsettled fees.
He alleged: "...At
that time I was in
need of money to
purchase a property
from a friend who
desperately needed
to dispose of that
property in order to
purchase a new one
for his family.
Read more: Shafee:
Dr M pushed for
Najib to appoint me
as Anwar prosecutor
“Najib learned for
the first time that
I have not been paid
by Umno for all
these years since
the time
of Mahathir, and he
inquired from me
what would be the
fees that
had accumulated over
the years since
early 1990s.
"I told him the
total fees would be
in the region of not
less than RM20
million, but I was
not asking for all
that," his statement
read.
"I told him that I
would be happy if he
could settle about
RM11 million worth
of legal work in 46
election petition
files, the subject
matter of the years
in 2004 and 2006.
"Najib, however,
agreed to pay RM9.5
million as complete
settlement of the
legal fees of the 46
election petition
matters, but he had
asked me to
rationalise the
paperwork later."
Shafee added that he
agreed to this as he
was “made to
understand that
Najib was made
responsible for
handing (sic) the
party's funds”.
"I had at that time
absolutely no
knowledge of the
source of the
payments to me by Najib,"
he said, further
stating that this
was explained to the
MACC in the course
of their
investigations into
1MDB.
"I am a regular
advocate and
solicitor who works
for fees. Why am I
being scrutinised
when I collect fees
for my Umno/BN work?
"If you allow
lawyers to be
harassed like this
under purported
money laundering
investigations,
etc., the future of
the legal profession
is impeded. This is
a phenomenon the
world bodies of the
legal profession are
watching."
The statement comes
following "new
information"
revealed by PKR
leader Anwar Ibrahim
that confirmed that
Shafee had received
two payments of
RM4.3 million and
RM5.2 million
respectively from
the former premier
between 2013 and
2014.
The new evidence was
submitted by a
special task officer
to the
attorney-general in
response to Anwar's
appeal against his
second sodomy
conviction, which he
later received a
royal pardon for.
Anwar had argued at
the Kuala Lumpur
High Court that he
was denied a fair
trial because his
prosecutor had
received payment
from Najib, who was
his political rival.
The appellate court
is set to hear his appeal
on Sept 14.
Below is Shafee's
response to the
allegation in full.
1. There have been
allegations by many
quarters regarding
the RM9.5 million in
two tranches of
RM4.3 million and
RM5.2 million in
2013 and 2014
respectively from
Najib Abdul Razak's
personal account in
AmIslamic Bank
Berhad when he was
the prime minister.
2. One of these
allegations is that
these two payments
were made as a
reward for me to
prosecute Anwar
Ibrahim in the
Sodomy II appeals at
the Court of Appeal
and the Federal
Court. I have denied
this allegation on
record in an
affidavit that I
have affirmed on Aug
3, 2017 in the
proceeding brought
about by Anwar in
his originating
summons in the High
Court of Kuala
Lumpur vide
WA-24-36- 06/2017. I
still maintain that
the averment was and
is the truth.
3. For purposes of
prosecuting the
appeals, I had
suggested to the
then-attorney-general
Abdul Gani Patail
that I would
undertake the
assignment pro bono.
However, when Gani
suggested that an
agreement be entered
into between the
government of
Malaysia and me for
purposes of that
assignment, I had
suggested RM1 to be
the formal
consideration
amount.
It was
counter-suggested by
Gani that an amount
of RM1,000 be placed
as consideration.
This culminated in a
written agreement
dated July 19, 2013
reflecting the terms
of my appointment as
the ad hoc deputy
public prosecutor (DPP)
pursuant to a fiat.
This document
remains confidential
as provided for
therein.
4. Gani and Mohamad
Hanafiah Zakaria of
the
Attorney-General’s
Chambers are fully
aware of this. The
then prime minister
Najib was also fully
aware of this
agreement for me to
undertake the
assignment,
virtually pro bono.
5. For purposes of
record I have never
taken a single cent
from the government
of Malaysia or
anybody else in
relation to my
undertaking of the
prosecution of the
appeals. I must
stress that even the
RM1,000 was never
claimed by me to
date. This can be
confirmed from
Hanafiah himself.
6. As a background
to this ad hoc
appointment of mine,
Najib was not keen
with the idea of
appointing me as the
prosecutor by way of
fiat for these
appeals because he
did not want to
offend the then AG,
Gani. In fact, he
was most reluctant.
However, it was Dr
Mahathir Mohamad who
insisted that I be
appointed as the
special prosecutor
in the Anwar
appeals, as Mahathir
did not have the
confidence that the
AGC would be able to
competently manage
the appeals.
This is probably due
to the fact that the
AGC had lost the
Sodomy II case in
the High Court.
Further, they had
lost earlier in the
Federal Court the
Sodomy I case.
I remember being
summoned on or about
June or July 2013
(or thereabouts) by
Mahathir through
Matthias Chang to
attend a meeting
with Mahathir at the
Perdana Leadership
Foundation in
Putrajaya.
Soon, I learned that
Najib, the prime
minister, was also
invited to meet
Mahathir slightly
earlier than the
meeting between me
and Mahathir. I
learned subsequently
that Mahathir had
managed to persuade
Najib to convince
the attorney-general
to appoint me by way
of fiat as a special
prosecutor in these
appeals.
I was told of this
after Najib had left
the Perdana
Leadership
Foundation, by
Mahathir himself. I
learnt from Chang
that my appointment
as the special
prosecutor was the
first of the six
demands Mahathir
made to Najib at
that meeting, for
otherwise he would
go against Najib.
Within a matter of
days or so, I was
communicated by the
office of Mahathir
and the Prime
Minister’s Office
that I should meet
Gani for the
purposes of the
appointment as
everything had been
agreed to for my
appointment.
I met Gani in the
presence of
Hanafiah. A written
agreement has been
drafted reflecting
the terms of my
appointment as
mentioned earlier
herein. This written
agreement is within
the knowledge of
every concerned
individuals who
participated in this
decision-making
process and
therefore there
could not have been
any misunderstanding
that I should be
paid any fees over
and above the
RM1,000.
7. I have acted for
Umno, BN without any
specific retainers
during the terms of
the previous prime
ministers from
Mahathir (as he then
was), Abdullah Ahmad
Badawi (as he then
was) and Najib.
During those terms,
I acted very often
for Umno, BN and
sometimes, other
component parties
within BN such as
MIC and MCA or
Gerakan.
Cases that were
assigned to me and
my firm ranged from
election petitions
to other serious
litigations
involving Umno and
BN.
I remember
undertaking
litigation works on
behalf of Umno and
some other clients
in relation to the
mega damages in
defamation matters.
I have personally
rendered on
countless occasions
legal opinions as
and when required by
Umno, BN or any of
its component
parties.
I have been
rendering this
assistance to Umno
sometime from the
early part of the
1990s until now, but
I have never been a
member of Umno or
any other political
parties. My
association with
Umno and BN and the
government under BN
was purely as a
solicitor and
counsel, nothing
more.
I have accrued many
uncollected bills
for my legal work
from the days of
Mahathir as the
prime minister,
especially during
the period when
Mohamed Rahmat was
the
secretary-general of
Umno and BN. To
complete the
picture, I have also
rendered legal
services to the BN
government and the
respective prime
ministers by
providing urgent
legal opinions and
documentation.
The numerous files
that have been
opened with respect
to all these works
have not received
any fees for a long
time, as Umno had
always promised me
and my firm that the
payment was
forthcoming.
In some of these
cases, some small
disbursements were
paid by Umno and BN
and in some others,
no disbursements
were paid at all and
my firm had to be
saddled with the
initial
disbursements.
8. Sometime on or
about September
2013, I chanced a
meeting with Najib
in the Prime
Minister’s Office
over various
matters, and in that
meeting, I had the
occasion to raise
with him the
question of my
needing to be paid
for my services thus
far for Umno and BN,
as at that time I
was in need of money
to purchase a
property from a
friend who
desperately needed
to dispose of that
property in order to
purchase a new one
for his family.
Najib learned for
the first time that
I had not been paid
by Umno for all
these years since
the time of
Mahathir, and he
inquired from me
what would be the
fees that had been
accumulated over the
years since the
early 1990s.
I told him the total
fees would be in the
region of not less
than RM20 million
but I was not asking
for all that. I told
him that I would be
happy if he could
settle about RM11
million worth of
legal work in 46
election petition
files, the subject
matter of the years
in 2004 and 2006.
Najib however,
agreed to pay RM9.5
million as complete
settlement of the
legal fees of the 46
election petition
matters but he had
asked me to
rationalise the
paperwork later. I
agreed to this
arrangement.
Here, I must stress
that I was made to
understand that
Najib was made
responsible for
handing the party's
funds as this was a
normal party
practice. I had at
that time absolutely
no knowledge of the
source of the
payments to me by
Najib.
9. As pointed out by
Prime Minister
Mahathir recently,
who, when asked by
journalists whether
Tommy Thomas was a
crony of Pakatan
Harapan leaders,
retorted, “Lawyers
take cases that
bring in their
income.”
Am I any different
to AG Thomas when he
was engaged to
represent Anwar and
Lim Guan Eng, or for
that matter Sulaiman
Abdullah who was
Anwar’s lawyer in
Sodomy I and
defamation cases
(now a DPP on fiat
against Najib), or
Gopal Sri Ram who
used to represent
Anwar in the Sodomy
II appeal (and now a
DPP in the AGC)?
10. I am a regular
advocate and
solicitor who works
for fees. Why am I
being scrutinised
when I collect fees
for my Umno/BN work?
If you allow lawyers
to be harassed like
this under purported
money laundering
investigations et
cetera, the future
of the legal
profession is
impeded. This is a
phenomenon the world
bodies of the legal
profession are
watching.
11. Sometime about a
year ago, I have
explained these
matters to the MACC
in the course of
their routine
investigations
pertaining to the
payment of RM9.5
million that became
an issue because of
the 1MDB matter.
I had brought with
me documents showing
the files that I
have billed and my
banking documents to
reflect the receipt
of the RM9.5 million
and their
disbursements.
Recently, about
three weeks ago, I
have also given a
further statement to
the MACC (to a
different
investigation
officer) pertaining
to this RM9.5
million issue.
I have a further
appointment at my
request to see the
same officer this
coming Tuesday or
Wednesday to show
again the documents
pertaining to the
files that I have
billed and other
documents.
The recent statement
that I had given to
MACC was made after
the MACC had frozen
the relevant account
of mine in CIMB Bank
which received the
RM9.5 million and
the disbursements
therefrom.
That particular
account was frozen
by MACC without any
notification to me
until I found out on
my own when some of
my cheques bounced
and I had to replace
them to the relevant
payees with other
cheques.
12. Najib would be
able to confirm the
reason for the RM9.5
million being paid
to me.
13. I am surprised
and appalled that
Siti Rahayu Mohd
Mumazaini, a lawyer
formally with the
firm of Tommy Thomas
who now acts as a
special officer to
the
attorney-general,
deems it fit to
affirm an affidavit
disclosing the
matters pertaining
to the RM9.5 million
payment to my
account when they
are purportedly the
subject matter of
active investigation
by MACC.
Further, she has
selectively
mentioned some facts
in a slanted fashion
so as to invite
adverse inferences
to be drawn on me in
relation to the
RM9.5 million
payment, as if that
payment was relevant
to the unfounded
claims and
allegations made by
Anwar in his
originating summons.
I personally
refrained from
explaining all this
because the subject
matter is under
investigation, but
now I am forced to
bring forth the full
details of these
payments as Anwar
himself and others
similarly minded
have been making
unfounded
allegations that
attempt to link the
RM9.5 million to my
undertaking of the
appeals against
Anwar.
But I am now
particularly forced
to do this
explanation in
public as Siti
Rahayu’s affidavit
has been allowed to
be in the public
domain by Anwar and
others although it
has just been
affirmed on Sept 5,
2018 and has not
been read in court
to make it a public
document.
I would like to
comment that Siti
Rahayu obviously
failed to understand
the affidavit that I
affirmed on Aug 3,
2017 (in two
languages), when she
alleged in her
ultimate paragraph
of her affidavit
(paragraph 15) that
the denial in
Paragraph 28 of my
said affidavit was
untruthful,
according to her.
I am shocked and
appalled that a
clear averment on my
part can be
misconstrued.
For clarity, that
paragraph reads:
“The rumours of the
alleged RM9.5
million received by
me for the
prosecution of the
Anwar appeals and
the fact that the
plaintiff (Anwar)
avers that the prime
minister Najib made
the payment to the
second Respondent
(me) for that stated
purpose is
unsubstantiated,
baseless and remain
hearsay. The second
Respondent (me)
denies this
allegation.”
14. It is so
discouraging that a
special officer to
the august office of
the attorney-general
could lend herself
to making conscious,
deliberate and
dishonest averments
in her affidavit. I
am reserving my
rights to take the
necessary steps
against this
unprecedented breach
of confidentiality
by a serving DPP.
15. I fear this
sudden development
initiated by Siti
Rahayu within the
attorney-general’s
office as
erroneously
expressed in her
affidavit is
deliberate, to allow
others like Anwar to
take advantage of
the misleading and
motivated averments
to be abused against
me.
These recent
developments, I
fear, are a setting
to victimise and
demonise me and to
put unfair pressure
on the Attorney
General’s Office to
take actions against
me. I fear that the
Attorney General’s
Office is being
exploited to
victimise me perhaps
to discourage me in
the defence of Najib
in his case.
We all remember that
he had NONSENSE the
9.5 million ringgit
before. It means he
denied it. It did
not happen. That's
what the word
NONSENSE meant. When
cornered only he
came up with this
story, like Najib
denying the 2.6
billion
that was in his
account. WHY DID
THEY LIED BEFORE AND
THEN CAME UP WITH
ALL SORTS OF
STORIES. Both Shafie
and Najib are real
snakes in human
forms.
he must be taken to
court and grilled
till he pisses
shamelessly.
Below are the views
which we can rely on
|
09/09/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
NAJIB LOYALTY
CALL
We remember well
when Najib gathered
people around him
and called the
masses to be loyal
on him. He showered
them with money and
office, extending
their tenures in
work places. This
was when the issue
of 1Mdb and the 2.6
billion in his
account came to
light. That was the
time when he start
to sack a few UMNO
heads from the
party. It was the
act of showing a man
is more important
than the party.
Not everyone in
the country were
fools. Those who
remembered Rukun
Negara knew very
well that loyalty
was not to Najib.
Loyalty was to the
King and the
country. And those
who did not know it
were still of the
view that loyalty
must be to the
country. There were
voices of discontent
towards Najib coming
from UMNO
themselves, who
believed that the
party was more
important than an
individual.
As the issue
heightened there
were call for UMNO
to oust Najib in
order to win the
General Election.
Public judged Najib
on several of his
movements; his
refusal to sue WSJ,
his several trips to
Saudi Arabia before
coming up with the
donation story, he
did not inform any
UMNO members of the
money in his
account, he remain
mull while his some
of his followers
were denying the
existence of the
money for him, and
he took 3 months to
come up with the
donation episode.
If UMNO had had
chucked Najib off
from the party, BN
would have still
rule the country.
Even today people
were still
questioning as to
the source of money
that Najib gave to
Maslan and Shahrir
by the millions.
UMNO treasurer did
not know how much
UMNO had. The
ex-Prime Minister
was actually killing
the party. And with
the hidden loots he
is still paying
selective people to
erase proofs and
evidences. Najib is
good at cheating and
lying.
UMNO knows that
it would evaporate
sooner or later. The
party now revert to
racial issue,
putting fear among
the Malays that
Pakatan Harapan is
trying to destroy
the Malays and the
Kings. They are
talking of the Malay
unity. People see
what the vocal
Answar Musa did to
MARA and ask about
the almost empty
coffer and the big
debts. What is worse
is that UMNO is
fighting for GST
when almost the
whole nation find it
very taxing and
cruel. There are
many cheaper stuffs
in the market today.
Utility bills are
free of the tax.
It is true that
PH does deliver many
of the promises. But
many understand it
is due to the severe
damage left by Najib
and they believe it
will somehow recover
in a few years to
come.
Najib wants
longer time so that
he can still find
ways to escape
persecution. But it
gives ample time for
Kevin Morais case to
be over. People know
Najib was the
murderer but could
not show a solid
proof , only left to
the circumstantial
evidence.
The man has been
abusive and
negligent, shameless
and evading
accountability. He
must be punished
severely.
Slowly loyalty to
him will diminish.
Loyalty must be to
the nation. |

HOW BAD A MAN CAN BE
We have seen just
before our eyes that
a man can take
people's money by
the millions but
never have any
feeling of shame nor
guilt, parading
himself to the world
of his will to
fight, in order to
keep the loot to
himself. He uses the
stolen money to
corrupt the police,
judiciary and all
whoever can destroy
and manipulate with
evidences. He acts
like a grand Mafia
chief, shooting
anybody who
passed\through his
way.
And we a man who
claim that all the
land in his state
belongs to the
government, robbing
the ancestral land
ownership and
hacking the natives
who have been there
even before the
coming of the
British and the
territorial states
were formed. The
most pungent of all
is he calls himself
a Muslim. In my
assessment this man
is worst than a
beast.
Today is Friday,
the day of Muslim
congregation at the
Friday Prayer. The
Imam preached about
the importance of
Muslim unity and
called all the
Muslims to unite. In
my heart I saw those
two animal-men, a
man who ran away
with my money,
robbers who looted
from the poor. They
are not non-Muslim
but of the pure
Malays and they
called themselves
Muslims.
I abhor them so
much that I prefer
not to know about
them anymore rather
praying to God to
punish them harshly.
The very bad man
cannot accept the
fact that even the
Malays do not like
them to live, rather
to have the Chinese
to lead the nation
for one simple
reason. They have
shown how filthy
they are. The people
have asked Najib to
clear himself by
suing WSJ and DOJ.
He didn't. Instead
he tried to corrupt
them. What a specie.
He is so bad that
he even tried to
corrupt God by
sending people to
Mecca with the
1Mdb's money. He
hoped for these
people to pray for
him so that God
would forgive him
for his sins.
Let me say
something here; that
God that rules the
universe is not God
for the Malays or
the Muslims. It is
the God for all
mankind. Providence
and sustenance are
blessed to all.
Though shall not
kill applies to all.
Goodness and
sincerity is not
endowed in only the
Malays. Badness and
greed are everywhere
and within human
kind. My eyes do not
see Lokman Adam or
Jamal Yunoss as good
people because they
are Muslim Malays. I
cannot say Shahrizat
is a good woman and
she has the right to
the RM250 millions.
I cannot respect PAS
people who justify
the corrupt money
into alms and
donations from Najib.
And I cannot forgive
the man in Kelantan
who claimed that the
natives have no
right over their
ancestral land. This
man is worst than
the animal.
Noh Omar does not
fall under this
category as he is
not so an educated
man. I forgive him
as he is a low
educated and stupid
though he has a bad
blood of
hooliganism. A Malay
proverb would say he
is just like a frog
under a coconut
shell. Nobody can
beat Najib, not even
the liars of the
universe. I have
never seen a man
like him in my whole
72 years. And I
never learned even
one exist in the
history of the
world.
He is a man
without conscience
and the feeling of
accountability. Even
if he shoots a
person he would put
the blame on his gun
or his fingers, not
on himself. "Arrest
the gun and the
finger," he would
yell and insist.

QISTINA.NET - ADDING
VIDEO CLIP
Now anybody can
upload video for
sale but it has to
be in the MP4
format. It is
possible to extend
it to other formats
too but it is too
cumbersome for me to
put in more coding
lines. I put up two
video clips for
experimental
purposes and for
entertainment. Users
can upload them if
they have any
intention of selling
the clips. If they
are not for sale I
will keep them here
if the clips are
interesting and
beneficial to
others.
But their uploads
will not be visible
if they do not type
in their information
on the left pane and
giving the identical
name to the box
entitled PICT NAME.
As usual the pin is
to facilitate
reviewing of the
suppliers sale. It
is a sort of a
password. The item
code is vital to
ensure that no two
products is having
the same identity
for their pictures
may look alike.
www.qistina.net
is almost done
except for the email
part. The email is
to notify the buyers
of the forwarding
agent, the track
number and the
delivery date. The
email codes cannot
be run by the
Exabytes server. I
remember the server
can execute my ASP
mail codes about 12
years ago. It has
been more than a
week without any
solution and the
technical staff was
trying to evade
solutions through
various maneuvers.
It is a huge company
with full of
expertise yet they
could not solve the
problem.
To me the project is
a mental exercise
but it could be very
useful. But I never
trust some of the
technical staffs in
the company as they
had been doing a lot
of changes to my
domain. Several
programs cease to
work. They could
have been moving the
database files
around.
However I believe
the email part will
be resolved soon. I
will stay dormant
for a time being,
only focussing on
improving the layout
of the page.

UMNO AND NAJIB
If you study the
history of the world
and of the behaviour
of the inhabitants
you will come across
people who hold
holly hobby books,
donning the Godly
dress preaching
ethics and obedience
BUT who were
robbers, liar and
cheaters whose goals
were nothing less
than the lust for
wealth and money.
And you would also
come across the
kings and emperors
who burned and raged
the homes and
agriculture and ran
away with huge
wealth as they were
losing to the
advancing enemies.
History always
repeat itself for
one obvious reason,
for the mankind
never change in
their emotional and
spiritual entity;
the love and hate,
the lust and
insatiable greed,
anger, happiness and
sadness, jealousy
and vengefulness.
I see this in UMNO
and Najib. They have
both of the above.
But they are more
strange than any
other Malay specie.
No UMNO member knows
how much is UMNO's
money. The treasurer
too does not know of
the amount. Yet they
claim that all money
kept by Najib
belongs to the
party. Morally and
ethically things do
not make sense.
Anwar Musa was once
in charged of MARA.
Rafizi had done a
thorough
investigation of how
the people had
twisted MARA for
their own benefit.
Najib has ruined the
nation through 1 Mdb
and misconstrued GST
funds out of
selfishness and
savagery. Now they
are holding the
holly book and the
Malay Kris blaming
Pakatan Harapan is
destroying the
Malays.
Najib ravage and
destroyed the
national coffers
leaving the new
government with
monumental burden of
debts.
As I see it these
people are unique
specie without
shame, morality and
ethics. Taking away
things that do not
belong to themselves
is never regarded as
sinful. They believe
it is their right.
While their intent
was nothing more
than to corrupt, the
told the people that
they are helping the
people. That's what
they did during the
last general
election. Billions
were given out. It
was nobody's words
'I SCRATCH YOUR BACK
YOU SCRATCH MINE.
MONEY IS KING'
other than the
insincere words of
Najib Razak.
Their immorality is
comprehensible by
the world. Even
Saudi King now
begins to know what
kind of person Najib
is and why he
frequented himself
to Mecca several
times when the issue
of 2.6 billion in
his account was
exposed. Even Najib
was trying to get
into the good book
of Obama and Trump,
both treated him
with scorn. Yet he
came back to brag of
the great treatment
the United States
had given him.
This man is without
shame.
Those who received
money from Najib
should ask
themselves of the
origin of the cash.
Maslan and Shahril's
millions couldn't
have been taken from
UMNO's pocket. Proof
or not I will say
PAS too receive
money from Najib, in
a direct way or
indirect way. God
knows about it.
Are they trying to
justify it by saying
the money is from
God ? Didn't they
say God chose Najib
to rule Malaysia and
going against Najib
means defying God ?
Look at their mind
and their way of
thinking. Lim Guan
Eng asked why the 16
millions of GST
refund money were
not returned within
the specific time
period of 2 weeks.
The UMNO members
asked for the RCI .
The question was
simple and straight
forward as to why it
was not returned ?
Secondly, when Najib
left no money for
the returned fund,
they asked the new
government to pay.
Among us we see
people without
morality being
chosen by the
immoral people.
Only God knows of
reasons for the
creations of the
good and evil. We
really don't know we
falls under which
category though we
think that we are
good and perfect.
But God creates the
mirror before us to
see ourselves, and
to make us realize
to be good and
considerate.
We the people do see
the demeanour of the
politicians and the
crooked officials.
No one can tell us
that we are right or
wrong. We see, think
and make conclusion.
The moment Kevin
Morais was found
murdered we already
thought it was the
work of Najib. He
can say he didn't
know about it and
didn't make the
order to kill.
Najib and UMNO has
gone too far.

QISTINA.NET
ADDITIONAL FEATURE
The additional
feature is adding a
webpage for each
product.
Customers, after
scanning the
products, will
finally decide to
choose an item in
the list. Clicking
the text on the left
pane will bring them
to the purchasing
procedure. To view
more info they have
to click the
picture. The picture
and the info will be
displayed on the
right pane.
If they were to
hover the icon on
the picture the icon
will show an arrow
or a hyperlink. It
will be a hyperlink
icon if there is a
webpage on the
product. By clicking
on the image more
information will be
displayed. The
picture above is
showing a web page
of Pak Chop on the
right pane.
The suppliers can
upload their own
designed page or
asked someone else
to do for them. But
the filename must be
the same as the
product code. In our
system product codes
must end with .htm
eg. Radio001.htm or
M001.htm. It is
simple. They use the
upload file facility
only. No
description. Nothing
else. BUT they must
also upload the
pictures on the page
unless the page only
contain image done
by photoshop or any
other graphic soft
ware.
The above sample
would be easier if
all those images are
put in one picture
using the Photoshop.
The second last
thing that I want to
deal with is to
sending mail with
messages on track
number and the
forwarding agents
via the same
application.
Unfortunately the
Exabytes Server
always returned the
Server Error. When I
wrote to them they
always beat about
the bush and till
now there isn't any
solution. I asked
Exabytes to try the
codes themselves but
instead they were
asking me for my
domain to execute
the codes. even
informing them of
the files that they
should test, there
was nothing
transpired . The
whole episode has
created an
impression that some
of the echnical
staffs are not
competent enough.
They may think they
are.

QISTINA.NET ALMOST
DONE
I have been
labouring myself
much on the lousy
web application,
www.Qistina.net.
The reason is
simple. I am not a
computer literate
nor did I go for any
computer course.
Then I want to try
an ASP codes to
produce something
like the other well
known professional
softwares. The worst
thing is that I am
already 72 and going
73 soon when
September arrives.
My brain is getting
rotten.
But in me I always
believe that anyone
will get whatever
he/she desires if
he/she works hard
for it. But there
are still many
things that I have
to find out like how
to shrink large
pictures sent by
people to my
website. I need only
60k or a 100k
pictures but the
senders tend to send
more than 1gigabyte
images.
I am excited when
things work. I have
to put a deep
thinking too as how
to get results that
I want. The listing
of items and the
information and the
clicking responses
are the examples.
The next thing I
would want to do on
GPS tracing. It is
only in my dream. I
hope I will not die
wuthin this few
years.
Below are the
samples of the
application
Now I have time for
my drone which I
have left in the
cold storage for
quite some time.
There is one final
thing that I want to
do in six months
time. It is about
the payment to the
respective banks.
They are selling the
service and if I
want I need to buy
it. But i desire to
link to the bank, by
writing codes to
integrate my account
info with the bank
sofware.
I wrote to Maybank.
The bank warned me
to remove the logo.
I removed it
immediately though
it is only my mere
trial and
experiment.
At least now I am
trying to promote
some food stalls in
my locality. It is
hard to get people
to come in for the
free advertisement.
It is always free
but vendors usually
charge a small
commission for a
sale. I dream to
have just about 0.2%
or 0.1% charge later
on, enough to pay
for my server
rental. I paid
almost 1.5K for this
hosting. It is a
risky investment.
But life is just
like that in order
to see progress. It
may also fail.
Gaining or losing,
the satisfaction and
fulfilment is beyond
description. it is a
great euphoria and
ecstatic for a man
with a blind mind.
The rest is left to
God.

ADVERTISE AT
WWW.QISTINA.NET
I have not been
writing my blog for
quite a long time
since I was busy
with some codings to
develop an
application that is
similar to
Alibaba.com. I knew
it would a tough job
for me because I am
no expert in it nor
having any computer
education. What
helped me was the
internet itself
where I had to do a
lot of referencing.
Syntaxes is not
ample as I
discovered. You have
to do a lot of
thinking. I don't
have anybody to ask
but to explore. That
took time for a
series of trials.
The last one is to
create something
like a chat session
to enable the user
or the customers to
leave some comments
and remarks. I had a
tough time to make
sure that when a
name is once entered
will stay there.
Otherwise the user
will have to type
his name for every
session. Messages
are sent to the
database in the
server. That's all.
It will not appear
to all other people
unless he lists them
by pressing a
Refresh button.
But this is isn't
important. What is
important that any
person who wish to
sell something can
upload the picture
and the information
for buyers to
preview. Because it
is a beginning and a
simple application I
do not make any
allowance for
internet banking.
Buyers can pay
direct and inform
the seller of his
intent.
For the try I
uploaded pictures on
shop and restaurant
as well as a maid. I
sincerely hope
people will make use
of this site to
advertise their
product as it is
free.
But I am glad and
exited that I
finally produce one.
I am not a young man
anymore. I am
already 72 and
making myself active
mentally. |

PROBLEMS WITH
EXABYTE
This webpage hosting
is from EXABYTES.
The expiry date will
be around 2024. I
know I won't live
that far. I wanted
to test remote
database with Mysql,
Visual Basic and ASP
and they all worked
fine. While I was
still working I
developed a few
MySql databases and
worked on them
remotely. But I
retired in 2003 and
now I am 72.
At this age I
thought of making my
website an income
generator. I still
need MySql database
to store some data
and the MDB files
for some light job.
I also need to know
how to enable
financial
transaction through
banks and credit
cards. At this
juncture I decided
to have a new domain
and an additional
web hosting. I also
decided on Exabyte.
It was yesterday
that I went to
Exabyte Penang
hoping to consult
them on several
matters. But I
failed. Nevertheless
I got a new domain
name qistina.net and
a web hosting for
RM1419.50 for 5
years. May be I live
long enough to play
around with the new
page.
I came home to start
qistina.net. I was
told to open the
welcome e-mail from
Exabyte. I did and
saw the user name
and the password. Repeatedly I tried
to log into the
CP(Control Panel).
It didn't work. I
informed the company
and it was only
successful this
morning. I uploaded
a few files and
tested them. They
worked fine. But
some features was
not displayed on the
webpage when my
9M2AR.COM was able
to display the
feature. You may
want to see how
www.9m2ar.com/qistinawonder.htm
and
www.qistina.net/qistinawoner.htm
.
They are the same
files but shows
different display.
How come ? I don't
understand. I wrote
to Exabyte and ask
them to try.
Then I tried to
enter FTP (file
Transfer protocol) .
Till now I am not
successful. This too
I told the Exabyte
staff. In the
meantime I want to
create MySql
database. I remember
previously they have
a Wizard to enable
you to create and
even import external
MySql. This time it
is not there
anymore. However I
still explore to
create it.
I went into MySql
database creation
page. I entered the
Username and the
password. I created
a database name
customer and save
it. That's it.
That's all. I do not
find anything to
create field names,
length etc. Funny. I
think there are too
many smart people now
employed by the
company, that even
made things so
difficult, not user
friendly anymore.
I am not a
programmer nor a
computer wiz. But I
do manage myself
around to do things.
I really don't know
what is happening
now and I hope
things would be
resolved as soon as
possible. I don't
understand why
Exabyte made changes
from time to time To make the system
better ? Or making
it worst ? |

HAM RADIO SIGNAL
I am an old ham
radio operator,
beginning my ham
life around 1975.
There were only
about 250 licensees
before the 21st
century. The whole
lot of us would
either work the
stations out of
Malaysia or stayed
on the frequencies
where we would be
having daily chats
among ourselves. We
called the band
which enabled our
signals to reach
each other as local
band. It is between
7.001 mega-herz to
7.099 mega-herz, a
40 meter band.
We usually kicked
the ball rolling at
about 5pm when we
came back from
office work. Signals
coming across the
country were
tremendously strong.
Most of us were
using the
traditional dipole
antenna. I used a
bamboo to hook up my
wire.
I do not remember
anyone using
sophisticated aerial
like Yagi or Quad or
even Magnetic Loop.
A few were on Yagi
to work distant
stations. I used the
same system both for
local and outside
the country.
My comment on the
radio signal today
is that they are
weak and hardly
readable. I have yet
to hear local
station as if it is
from my next door
neighbour. I don't
know why. The
current conjecture
is that the band
condition is very
poor.
Many operators are
having problem in
setting up a proper
antenna due to the
lack of space. Those
who live in a
terrace house and in
flats will have
difficult time to
work with other
stations using the
High Frequencies.
Many have to opt for
the Very High
Frequency that does
not require massive
antenna. Even a 6
inch antenna could
connect them
throughout Malaysia
using repeaters, or
even the mixing of
broadband internet
and the repeater.
Though I am not in a
favourable location,
I still can push out
good signal with a
much taller bamboo.
It has to be at
least 30 feet. I
don't even have a
bamboo now. I use an
aluminium pole which
is extremely bad to
hook my inverted-V
dipole. It takes a
large portion of my
signal to the
ground. The inverted
V mast must be a
non-conductor.
I saw several people
hung their dipole to
their metal tower.
To my mind those
will never perform
well. But I
commented nothing. |

BERDIKARI
BERDIKARI is isn't a
dreaded word. It
means to stand on
one's own feet. I
don't mean to be
racial but I noticed
the Chinese are apt
to organize their
community for common
interest and gain.
Today I passed a
mortuary centre,
standing proudly
funded by their own
people. A few years
ago it was just a
small wooden
structure with some
rotten wooden walls.
They have various
kinds of clubs and
associations tying
up their kin and
trade together,
accumulating enough
pittance to build
schools, paying for
the teachers
salaries, financing
system,
super-markets and
international
network of all sort
of trades.
It is a high time
for the Malays to
start a machinery to
organize themselves
so that they can
stand on their own
feet without the
help of the
government. They try
to ignore building
themselves up with
the tax money. They
don't have to
quarrel and fight
with any other
races. The failure
of Tabung Ekonomi
Islam was due to
ignorance, short
sightedness and
stupidity. they have
to have a foolproof
system to safeguard
the fund. If things
were going well with
the TEI by now the
foundation's fund
could have been by
the billions.
Of course the Malays
must have enough
people of high
integrity, morality,
diplomatic skill and
patience to look
after the money. And
enough smart,
knowledgeable and
far-sighted people
to plan the use of
the money. There
will be no borrowing
from anywhere. Let
the Malays save
themselves using
their own ringgit.
On the part of the
government, no tax
shall be imposed on
the fund collection.
This is the starter
point of my view.
Wisdom could see
light on the
brighter side.
There is no time to
delay. The Malays
have to start now
without talking and
campaigning. Just
beware of
opportunists and
wolves in sheep's
skins. |

SOMEBODY IS PRAYING
FOR ME
I am full of sins
and have never been
a good man in my
whole life. I
learned to recognize
the good and the
bad, with pain I
tried to pick up the
good and kept them
in my heart. I
wanted to serve the
people, tried to be
fair and honest to
them. And I became
the Head of a
school, I first
encountered with
monumental problems
with my subordinates
who had been told
how bad was I even
before I reported to
the school. A few
came to help me
narrating the evil
stories that were
going on. I am not
going to say what
they are.
But for the last 15
years before I left
the schools the
teachers co-operated
to elevate the
school until we
became a bench-mark
for other school to
follow. We won
several Federal
prizes for many
years. Parents from
all over the country
sent their children
to get their
education at my
school.
Out of all the state
education officers
only two saw through
my philosophy. I was
firm in making
decision and willing
to be demoted or
sacked. One of them
is still in town and
we are still friend
till today. He said
he never met anyone
who could give an
instant information
in his life when he
phoned me up
inquiring about the
status of his
relative, for I
developed my own
computer software
that records all of
the student's
information. God
forgive me for
writing my
achievement. I don't
mean to brag but to
make some people
ponder how great
life is.
I could not describe
how great my
teachers were. I let
them plan the school
yearly program,
select the persons
in charge among
themselves and did
not oppose their
decisions. But I
told them they have
to accept one or two
things that would be
under my control.
I gave the honour to
my teachers and blue
collar workers to
represent me in
receiving a few
several awards
because the credits
were due to them. I
would be there
together with them
during the ceremony.
Students were
awarded in various
forms, from free KFC
meal to travelling
for siesta.
Beautiful and clean
classroom, winners
of the hostel dorms
would enjoy the
prizes.
The academic
achievements of the
public examinations
showed amazing
results. Students
with low entry level
scored several
distinctions to
prove that it was
hard work that
matters.
For more than 20
years as a school
head I learned that
you cannot please
all people all the
time, and an
administrator cannot
make war with
everyone. He has to
court friendship
with his enemy. I
can bet that there
will be at least 80%
of our enemy can
turn to be our
friends. And revenge
does not pay at all.
I also noticed that
those who are never
happy with other
people would either
die faster or suffer
from heart disease.
Temperamental and
hot tempered people
are usually those
who have HBP (high
blood pressure) or
excessive
cholesterol content.
I know I must have
offended many
people. Some would
have cursed me and
prayed for my
violent death. But I
never regret doing
my job as I was very
sincere towards my
students and
teachers, and given
them much as I
probably could.
I retired in 2003. I
feel the splendour
of life blessed upon
me by God, with
great mobility, that
enable me to travel
far and wide at 72,
able to taste exotic
and great food,
writing blog in the
language that I
always fail, flying
drones for miles and
enjoy a peaceful
life.
I feel that there
are people who pray
for me for helping
their kids to become
useful men of the
world. It is the
Barakah, the
Providence from God.
Thank you God.

THE BEHAVIOUR, THE
RACE AND RELIGION
It is a tragic
affair that the
minds of the Malays
do not adept to
global changes. I
was all over the
Southeast Asian
region where the
Chinese and the
Malays live together
and noticed that
businesses in towns
and cities are run
by the Chinese. In
fact the later is
more consistent as
they carry on their
traits in other
parts of the world;
USA, England, Europe
and else where.
Short sightedness,
ego, the low
survival rate,
indolence ,
resistance to
technological
changes and rogue
behaviours had left
them behind in the
competitive world.
The cleric at the
local mosque
preaches the
sanctity and the
greatness of
religion and called
upon the
congregation to
reject liberalism
for Islam is
perfect. Tahfiz
schools grew widely
at a very rapid
state with the
absent of secular
education. There
were blames on the
infidels who stole
the Islamic
knowledge of the
Muslim scientists.
Islam is a way of
life. Progress and
technology provide
help to facilitate
our living and ways
of doing things and
make our life more
exuberant and
lively. Cars and
motorbikes take
people to mosques.
Loudspeakers enabled
the whole mosque to
hear the recitals
during the prayers.
And jobs need
knowledge and
skills. We don't
want the Tahfiz
graduates to end
without good jobs.
We also saw the
politicians howling
about the Malay land
and the Ketuanan are
threatened. It was
the Malays and the
UMNO people who were
selling their lands
away. The Malays
can't afford to buy
even a small piece
of land. And what
Ketuanan do the
Malays have when
they were trained to
be beggars,
penniless and
vagrants. They just
don't see things
because they only
care to enrich
themselves, craving
for posts to be
leaders.
They are proud to
parade their
characters as seen
in the parliamentary
debate. Those
represent the bunch
of voters'
mentality, the
masses of the
Malays.
When our country is
burdened with debts,
they are asking for
more money. The
Chinese donate by
the millions. Najib
asked the government
to pay to the Felda
people, the mess
that he himself
made. Whatever these
people did had lost
unthinkable amount
of money.
When the Malays and
the Islamic party
were seen as
condoning crimes
then the image of
Islam was
threatened. It was
seen as a repulsive
religion. Bragging,
belittling others,
arrogance, lying,
corrupting, cutting
faces of Tun
Mahathir, denying
the crimes depict
Islamic culture of
the Muslim Malays.
For a Muslim to be
respected he must be
capable, a great
inventor,
knowledgeable,
smart, competitive
and of a high moral
value. Who would
praise a bunch of
gangsters like Jamal
and his gangs who
were seen with Najib
Razak in their
caucus. Even the
common Malays hated
such behaviours.

THE IDEA-THE OLD AND
THE NEW COMPUTER
EDUCATION
When you buy a
computer you may
have different
reasons to do so.
The aims can change
from time to time.
Most of us are mere
users. I use this
particular PC just
to write my blog.
Mind you I am using
a very old software
to produce the
output as you are
reading now. I have
a very old laptop
which I use to
design pictures for
my pin-badge, using
an old version of
Adobe Image Ready
which the new PC
does not support
anymore. And I have
also a very old used
laptop for my radio
logging using the
software of my own
design.
As a user I am sure
you have no choice
but to follow the
progress.
Technological change
in the microchips
and Central
Processing Unit
comes too often that
change the circuitry
and the structure of
the whole hardware
system. There were
tremendous
enhancement in speed
and capability, and
also in the computer
operating system.
You are forced to
spend money on the
new Windows, from a
just Windows to XP,
to Windows 8 to 10
and the new ones.
Some amazing soft
wares and
applications need
online registration
to avoid the fake
ones. The progress
comes with cost and
the continued
survival of the
computer industries.
Some 15 or 20 years
ago we thought we
have everything that
we wanted to do; the
word processing, the
access database and
spread sheet. We
produce volumes of
information, records
and data by those
applications.
I was a developer
then. I 1980 I
learned the basic of
BASIC language and
making useful codes
for database exam
processing. Then I
moved to Visual
Basic, a superb but
simple language,
which also cen be
used for writing
chatting programs.
It could do what
COBOL or FORTRAN
did. But as time
passed and the
system went to the
modern phase one
need to test and
publish software
from the company. I
have to learn
coding, design it
and submitted for
testing. And I have
to pay for it. I
cannot be
independent anymore.
I come to think that
how would we teach
computing to the
school children ?
What you teach today
will be obsolete the
next day. School
curriculum take
months and years to
develop.
My old database
system and the data
in the records are
still valid and
good. I still have
lengthy records of
my students from
1986 to 2000, and
could retrieve them
either online or
from my own
computer. As far as
I am concern I am
keeping and using
the old system with
the old laptops.
I think we need to
educate our students
using the old system
and stay it that way
for a long time to
come. In this way we
can resurrect MEMOS
to supply the old
computer systems.
Students would be
taught BASIC, Visual
Basic and other old
languages. Only at
the college and
university level we
teach and use the
latest to suit the
latest available
technology like the
GPS co-ordinating
system, remote
sensing and
communication.
Small scale
businesses do not
have to buy new
hardware and soft
ware for their
accounting and
record keeping
system.

DISAPPOINTED WITH
PAKATAN GOVERNMENT
Until today Najib is
almost literally not
charge under any of
the law for
deceiving the
Malaysians. We know
that 2.6 billions
were in Najib's
account without
declaring or
informing anyone.
And that money was
kept secret for
several years. It
was not declared to
the income tax and
to Bank Negara.
in 2015 when the WSJ
published about the
money the UMNO
members denied and
fought for him and
Najib did not say
anything about it
instead threatened
to sue the WSJ. He
sacked Mahyuddin for
asking him about the
2.6 billions.
Najib denied he knew
Djo Lo but later
when the picture of
him was shown he
just kept quiet. He
lied to the country.
It took a few months
to come up with the
donation story and
during that time he
made several trips
to Saudi Arabia. If
it was a donation he
would have informed
everyone from the
beginning. He lied
again that the money
was for fighting the
ISIS, than changed
it when it was
pointed out ISIS
didn't even exist
yet. There were a
string of lies that
were spewed.
Couldn't Najib be
charged for trying
to deceive the
people ?
Later he said he had
returned the money
to the donor. Yet he
said the money was
used for GE13.
As a chairman of
1Mdb Najib is
accountable. Using
the government's
money to pay for
1Mdb was approved by
him. He had signs
many letters and
documents. Even if
he destroys those
documents there were
many questions could
be drilled on him by
good lawyers. Don't
Pakatan Harapan have
capable lawyers to
trace Najib's
criminal activities
by trying to destroy
evidence and even
killing ?
Najib himself
admitted that the
HSR open tender was
not closed yet till
28 December 2018.
Yet he already
signed the agreement
with Singapore.
Surely there is some
kind of law to pin
him by his deed.
Similarly the 88%
payment on the 13%
job. His crime was
making the kind of
agreement that was
illegal and
disapproval by the
auditor general.
Again a good lawyer
can put him behind
jail over this
matter.
His attempt to cheat
was very clear. He
finally said that
the donor has passed
away.
Even the CIA letter
can be charged as
treason. It was him
who chose the
officer and it was
him who describe the
nature of the work
of the unit and he
is solely
responsible and
accountable for what
the unit did. Of
course he will deny
of knowing it.
Ignorance is of no
excuse and cannot be
a scapegoat.
Pakatan Harapan
needs to discuss to
gather of poor and
bad intent of Najib
in doing work. The
government has to
work hard to dig the
truth of Kevin
Morais murder for we
know it was done
under Najib's order.
You don't jail the
murderer for only 2
years, do you. In
this case 2 accused
were already served
their jail term.
What a nonsense.

A JUDGE
A judge is a man, a
human. We here that
to err is only
human. And with a
sentiment he can be
bias and a partisan.
But a judge cannot
allow criminals to
escape punishment.
Very recently a High
Court dismissed a
suit though it was
highlighted that how
could a man in Sabah
signed something at
the same time in
Putrajaya. This
cannot be a judgment
error but it was a
deliberate act with
bad faith. This is
what no country in
the world can't
afford to have for a
judge. There need to
be mechanism to
reject the judgment
and to strip the
person as a judge.
In hearing a case I
do not agree with a
single judge running
the show, except for
minor offences like
the traffics
proceedings or a
petty theft.
Circumstantial
evidence must also
be looked seriously
as physical evidence
could have been
destroyed or
altered. This, no
judge should ignore
at all.
An unfair decision
has been seen on
Anwar Ibrahim's
case, Teoh Beng Hock
and Altantuya. The
public outcry may
even led to to the
vanishing MH370
plane. And they
wanted to know who
approved the use of
C4 bomb and
instructed the
killing of Altantuya.
Najib should be
answerable for his
own bodyguards who
did the final act.
A judge must be of a
person of high
morality, having
conscience, fearing
God and having the
feeling of shame in
himself. In most
foreign countries a
person would resign
from a post even if
there were only
scandals. Scandals
may or may not be
true. This is what I
mean by shame and
morality.
The word Kangaroo
Court implies the
existence of poor
judge.
Many of us have
pressured the new
prime Minister to
form a Kangaroo
Court and put Najib
to trial. But Tun
rejected it all out.
He wanted a fair
trial. He did not
see the possibility
of the poor and bad judges
around.
It is sad that we
don't have many
smart men around but
we have plenty of
rogue and evil
figures in the
country. A man like
Najib deserves to be
kidnapped, brought
to a forest,
stripped naked and
tied to a tree for
lying and destroying
the country. But any
of the judge can
allow this monster
to walkout of his
crime free. There is
without doubt three
men were murdered by
his order and
throwing the blame
on others. They were
Hussein Najadi, PI
Bala and Kevin
Morais. There is no
doubt about it at
all though hard
evidence cannot be
shown.
The best judge is
the laymen, the
population.

WHO IS NEXT ON
THE DEATH LIST ?
You
may not believe in
God though you may
quote the Koran or
the Bible as if you
are a Saint. You
show your arrogance
and called others as
liars when you
yourself is a born
liar. You insult a
dead person and pray
for others to die
the soonest. There
is one thing you do
not know, that who
is next on the death
list. It could have
been you.
For more than 20
years illness and
sickness struck me,
from blood-sugar to
HBP. heart and
kidney. I became so
thin and looked
sickly. As I am
waiting for my turn
to die, I was sad to
see younger and
money of my ham
radio friends have
gone first before me
and a few are
experiencing severe
multiple blood clots
repeatedly.
It was only
yesterday I decided
to dash 200 meters
at my fastest speed
without pain. I made
5.6 kilo-meters of
walk like any other
days. A lady whom I
did not know
accosted me
yesterday when I
overtook her. She
asked me for my age.
Many other people
looked amazed when I
told them that I am
72 and going 73.
You see, I believe
in God and have a
strong faith in the
Al-Mighty. As an
imperfect man I
still commit sins
but I do not insult
and belittle a man
nor show my
arrogance nor lie to
people.
I do not discount
that I may die
anytime. I feel fit
and strong, and
actively mobile like
any young men. But I
may also die of
heart attack or hit
by falling trees or
knock down by a car.
While waiting I make
myself useful at
least to myself. I
bough ten small
fuses this morning
after breakfast, put
one in my PSU. I
soldered the switch
cable back to it's
original position.
It improved the look
of my PSU as
compared to what it
was yesterday.
Yes God decides. But
you need to do what
you must; doing
regular exercise,
take care of the
food intake, make
the brain work at
least once a day by
deep thinking and
doing analysis,
reading and
deciphering Morse
codes. The rest
leave to God whether
to stop your life or
allows it to
continue.
I
flew my drone
ignoring the call
that people of my
age should quit the
useless activity.
Politicians do not
seem to believe that
they could be in the
death list too by
the way we judge
through their words
and deeds. I hate to
mention names but
you can see how they
behave in the recent
parliament. And they
seem not to believe
in the live after
death and God's
retribution for the
sins they do.
Sins against God and
sins against men
could not be outwash
the same way.
You see two MPs who
were much younger
than Tun Mahathir
have gone to meet
God. The reason is
simple. They are
listed on the upper
part of the list.

CEP AN ISSUE ?
The Council of
Eminent Persons is
seen a threatening
unit and feared by
Singapore as it is
pushing the
government to
retender the rail
construction.
According to Najib
the tender is not
closed yet till 28th
of December 2018.
Yet Najib has
already made an
agreement with
Singapore on he HRS.
Many are putting
poison and spread
bad news about CEP.
The oppositions
fears Mahathir more
than anything else
and want him to
vanish, and even
pray for his death.
They are not afraid
of Wan Azizah or
Anwar Ibrahim, and
ready to hang PKR
members when Tun
Mahathir walked
away. Everyone of
them wants to save
Najib as he is
believed to stash
billions of ringgit
hidden somewhere
else.
CEP is a real brain,
a dreaded CPU of the
new government.
But it is not the
CEP who will be
making the final
decision. They
recommended decision
to the cabinet and
it is the Ministers
who will be making
the final approval.
The enemy fears the
cabinet might agree
with the
recommendation.
To me there is no
harm about it. After
all it can be
disbanded after
finishing 100 days
job to start a
government before
there were Ministers
in the new
government. With CEP
or not public and
opposition can still
urge and suggest to
the government as to
the course of
actions to be taken.
Zetty is heading the
PNB. Robert Kuok is
a tycoon and Daim is
also a wealthy man.
They don't mind
walking away. Even
members of the
public are giving
their views in the
alternative media.
Some are very
fruitful and could
throw fear to some
people. The cabinet
can even pick them
up and discuss them.
UMNO is always
finding issues to
attack and
criticized Tun
Mahathir. They still
have the same
proganda unit to
plan the attack. We
have seen how Zahid
and the rest showed
their acts in
parliament. They
forget that people
are keeping their
records for a long
time. Even in my
blog it showed how
Zahid bragged and
promised to throw
the three UMNO men
into the river if BN
failed to wrest
Selangor. And Noh
who was a gangster
while he was
schooling and
corrupting voters
during trhe last
election campaign.
BN does not sleep,
ever planning to
spear an attack and
to defend themselves
before being charged
for corruptions.
Zahid claimed that
BN still has money
in their safe. |

WHEN A SMART MAN
COMMITTED CRIME
When
a smart and powerful
man committed a
crime he always get
away with it. It is
impossible for a
murdered man to die
without any murder,
an impossible for
billions of money
went missing without
someone stealing it.
No matter under what
name stealing is
given, it is still
stealing and a crime
has been committed.
A smart man will
apply the loopholes
that existed in law
to plan the crime
following the
loopholes. Stealing
can be done under
the name of
kickback, lopsided
agreement, covertly
moving the money
around the banks of
the world and
finally ended up in
one's own pocket.
In some countries
they disbanded some
laws and hang the
criminals base on
the circumstantial
evidence and
happenings, some
depend on the proven
lies and spins, and
unanswerable
questions.
I don't believe
fairness and good
treatment is always
good to extract
confession from this
smart criminal. He
must be subjected to
torture. Similar
mechanism had been
applied by the
British while ruling
Malaya and by the
Americans till
today.
God knows that
mankind are not
always good and
honest. They may be
of the normal laymen
or the heads of the
states and leaders
of the countries.
That's why heaven
and hell are
created. Only the
non-believers who
will continue to lie
through his teeth
while claiming
himself a
religiously pious
man.
The members of the
public cannot be
wrong to see a thief
as a thief because
the money went
missing under his
hand. The criminal
would just say he
does not about the
money missing. If he
had live in a
Communist country he
would already be
shot. |

‘KLEPTOCRATS OF
KATHMANDU & KUALA
LUMPUR’ – AFTER
NAJIB, ZAHID THE
NEXT UMNO CHIEF TO
BRING SHAME TO
MALAYSIA? ZAHID-LINKED
COMPANY PINPOINTED
IN REPORT ON NEPALI
WORKERS SCAM
A
COMPANY linked to
Umno president Ahmad
Zahid Hamidi is
among several
private Malaysian
companies named in
an elaborate scam
which allegedly took
in more than Rs5
billion (RM185
million) from Nepali
workers over the
last five years, the
Nepali Times
reports.
The Nepali news site
in its report “Kleptocrats
of Kathmandu and
Kuala Lumpur”,
named Bestinet Sdn
Bhd together with a
few other companies
backed by powerful
Malaysian
politicians as
profiteers of
Putrajaya’s revised
foreign worker
application process.
Besides Bestinet,
which is allegedly
run by Zahid’s
brother-in-law Amin
Abdul Nor, the
report also named
Kathmandu-based
affiliate, Malaysia
VLN Nepal and One
Stop Centre (OSC),
as among the
companies involved
in the migrant
worker registration
scam.
The
report claimed that
Zahid’s brother,
Abdul Hakim Hamidi,
and former home
minister Azmi Khalid
owned shares in the
company.
Zahid,
who was deputy prime
minister, also held
the home ministry
portfolio before the
fall of Barisan
Nasional in the last
general election.
“It
all started five
years ago when
Malaysia’s home
minister Ahmad Zahid
Hamidi outsourced
the registration
process to a private
company (Ultra
Kirana Sdn Bhd)
which required
Nepali migrant
workers to apply for
work visas through a
Kathmandu-based
affiliate, Malaysia
VLN Nepal.
“The
agency charged
Rs3,200 (RM118) from
every Malaysia-bound
Nepali worker, and
collected Rs1.95
billion from more
than 600,000 workers
between September
2013 and April
2018,” it said.
It
claimed that
Bestinet had
partnered with Nepal
Health Professional
Federation (NHPF) to
carry out biometric
screening that
charges Rs4,500
(RM167) from each
migrant worker after
Putrajaya made it
compulsory for all
Nepali migrants to
undergo a biometric
test in July 2015.
The
report said the
previous practice of
applying visas
independently cost a
fraction of what
workers had to pay
to go through
private companies
for visa processing
and biometric
screening.
It
said that all of the
revised arrangements
were put into place
on an ad-hoc basis,
without transparency
and in the absence
of any bilateral
agreements between
the governments of
Nepal and Malaysia.
The
newspaper said
Nepal’s Labour
Minister Gokarna
Bista is reportedly
cracking down on
several
Kathmandu-based
companies set up to
extort fees from
overseas contract
workers
Bestinet recently
denied any
involvement in
Bangladeshi worker
smuggling syndicate,
saying it was not a
recruitment agency
nor was it involved
in the operation of
the foreign worker
recruitment process
in Malaysia or
labour source
countries.

PSU GAVE ME A HEAD
ACHE
A day before
my Ternate's trip
one of the two power
supply units cut my
house supply when I
switched it on. I
decided to have a
look at it as soon
as I returned home.
There were two tasks
I need to complete
after the trip, to
change my car
battery which had
indicated it's weak
power for the last 7
days and secondly to
attend to my PSU.
Changing battery is
simple. Just drive
the car to the
battery shop and
changed it. But to
fix the power supply
unit is hard for me.
At 72 my vision is
bad, my hands are
shaky and the solder
is of a poor
quality. It refuses
to stick to the
soldering points.
I suspected a short
circuit that flowed
to the earth. I cut
the earth wire
connection of the
PSU's socket,
checked every power
outlet of any
possible stray wire
that might have
touched the positive
and the negative
parts of the
terminals. I cut the
switch cable to
trace the beginning
part that might have
caused the problem.
I opened up the fuse
compartment which
showed the broken
small fuse.
Nothing happened
when I plugged in
the PSU cable to the
main. I realized I
should replace the
fuse first. But I
failed to find one.
I had to connect the
fuse externally. I
tried to power it on
again. Nothing
happened. Then I
tried to solder the
switch cable. After
several attempts I
failed. I had no
flux and the solder
might have been of
low quality stuff.
So I temporarily
joined them using
the minute crocodile
clips.
At this juncture I
could power on the
PSU, connected the
radio power cables
and tested the
transmission. All
worked very fine. In
a couple of day's
time I will be
looking for the
solder flux and a
better quality but
of more expensive
solder, and a few
small fuses.
Have I been much
younger with better
vision and steadier
muscles things might
have been different.
I used to repair my
transceiver before
on several
occasions. But to
say I am too old to
do the repair work,
I found older
Americans could even
work with lathe
machine and doing
soldering work on PC
board. I am just 72.
They are more than
80.
I hate to ask for
people's help. I
erected my radio
antenna by myself,
solder the coaxial
plugs and setting up
a complete radio
station without
asking for help and
assistance. My work
was always crude in
look. Good or bad I
feel proud as I do
them myself. |
22/07/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
I just came back
from Ternate,
arriving home at
about 9pm on 20th
July 2018, after
being in the island
for four days and 2
days in Makassar. To
my friends the
island has no
historical
significant. None
was interested in
going to see the
spice plantation.
Even the hotel we
stayed did not have
spice exploration in
it's sight seeing
trip.
At our hotel in
Ternate FAMBELA
We took one solid
day to tour the
interesting places,
five of us, taking
by the hotel car at
the cost of Rupiah
50000, approximately
RM150. It was worst
a trip. Two of my
friends took a bath
in the blue-green
clear water. I just
enjoyed the scene.
Other time we went
to a very fine
restaurant to have
delicious sea-food.
The meals were much
cheaper and tastier
than what they have
at the hotels.
People go for
snorkling here
Durians were not
sold by the weight
but by the numbers.
I was not so keen.
My friends did. We
went to the town
twice for the fruit,
one in the afternoon
and one at night. I
didn't know how much
were paid as out
financier paid from
our pool. For food,
airport
transportations and
travelling each paid
about RM300. My
total expenditure
was RM2.1k.

EVER GONE BROKE ?
I only have RM20 left in
my purse. That would
last me for only for one
day for two meals. It
means I have to skip my
breakfast. I decided to
take some cash out from
Bank Rakyat. I have
still have the ATM card
with me.
At about 8 pm last night
I rushed to Kedah
Medical Centre as it the
nearest place with an
ATM machine. After
shafting the card twice
it says transaction was
not approved. I was
panicked. While walking
to my car I had a morbid
feeling of being a
vagrant, a beggar life,
asking myself what I
would do if I have no
money. I started to
remember people coming
to see me asking for a
loan or an outright
cash. Sometimes I was
kind enough, other time
I was a little harsh at
them. I have maids who
have been asking me to
send home to Indonesia
for an ailing parents,
and even a fare for the
flight home.
I drove fast to the next
destination, to the main
bank itself. After
inserting my card and
punching the number the
message said that I need
to use a new card. The
change of card began on
the 1st July 2017,
almost a year ago.
Sadness and fear clung
me. It looked like I
have to use the money I
reserve for my hotel and
other expenditure in
Kuala Lumpur on the
coming 14th July.
I always budgeting my
expenditure for a month,
and will not spend more
than what I have for
that month. That
explains why I stayed
home for several days to
make sure I could delay
of my money draining
away from my pocket.
I live on a meagre
pension fund. I used the
saving for my trip, and
it always leaves me in a
tight spot after my
trip. People thought I
am a loaded person, and
approached for a huge
loan even up to RM50K to
RM300K. And one Haji
Halim, a contractor
seeking me for a RM500
and never paid until
today.
Hve you ever been broke
? How did yo deal with
the situation ? |

THE JOY OF MORSE
CODES
I talked to people
eye to eye, using
hand-phone, skype,
whatsapp, radio and
Morse codes. Not
many could do as
what I can do even
though they have all
those in front of
their eyes. They are
unable to talk using
Morse codes.
I just have a chat
with a Thai radio
operator HS7JEN
using the codes
through radio wave.
It was fun and
satisfying. The
feeling of
achievements is on
the successful
decoding of the
codes sound just by
hearing. There is a
pride within us, the
coders, that nobody
could take away from
us. It is not an ego
but the intense internal joy
and satisfaction.
I used to talk to
friends for hours on
end, using my
fingers, translating
ideas into codes and
my head to change
the codes into
words. My oversea
partner, YB6LD, Don,
has passed away at
his young age. My
local partner has a
problem with his
antenna system,
9M2ZN, Mazwan. But
today I do not
spend much time in
my radio shack
anymore. Many a time
I closed down my
station just after
working with only
one station.
Once upon a time
Morse codes is
synonymous with Ham
radio as far as it
was adopted as a
hobby. I learned it
because I wanted to
be in the amateur
radio fraternity as
it was a mandatory
prerequisite for a
radio license. I
device a method to
teach myself the
code as there were
no teachers and no
computers to assist.
The struggle
instilled discipline
in us, making us to
be more resilient.
Right now one
Malaysian , a
teacher by
profession, Zaki
Din, is in Germany
to participate in
some sort of Morse
codes competition
combining with a
Thai national
representing the
Asian region. Both
are very well verse
in the codes. The
Ham radio also
called the code as
CW, a short form of
Continuous Wave.
There are thousands
of people who prefer
to have
communications in CW
among themselves
rather than using
their vocal chords.
Efforts in learning
Morse could
change a person's
attitude and ethics. |

GARLIC PICKLES
When I was a kid I
used to buy garlic
pickles. Almost 72
years later I have
never heard of it
anymore. A week ago
I met a retired
friend who told me
about him consuming
garlic capsules
everyday for quite
some years and never
felt tired when he
went hill climbing.
Following his story
I checked the
websites about it.
The articles
mentioned that
garlic lowered blood
pressure and reduce
cholesterol in the
body.
I made an enquiry at
random from Chinese
shops where about I
can find garlic
pickles. They
pointed at the
market in China
town. A small bottle
cost me RM7.50. I
did not count the
number of garlic
inside the plastic
container. And I
didn't remember how
many I consumed them
each day. The bottle
lasted me for about
a week.
I have not checked
my blood pressure
yet. It is too quick
to make any summary
of it's effect. I
didn't get tired too
quickly when I went
for my evening walk.
I would get tired
for the first 2.5
kilo meters. Since
the garlic
consumption I could
sustain my strength
till 5 km. But it
must also coincide
with the sleep I
have. For 3 or 4
hours of sleep I
tend to get tired
fast if I were to
walk fast enough.
Today I replenish
the pickles, buying
a couple of bottles.
I washed it first
before I ate it to
ensure chemicals
would be drained off
if any. I also
bought ginger
pickles but will not
consume it till I
return from my
Ternate trip on the
20th July.
Right now I have two
friends with chronic
illness. Both of
them have a wide
knowledge on the
disease they suffer.
Yet they fell sick.
I too may die
anytime., garlic or
not. |

MEDICAL INSURANCE
People have been buying
medical insurance for
decades, wealthy people,
businessmen and
professionals. I didn't
care then as I thought
me being a government
servant would be
safeguarded by the
government hospital. I
knew that I would still
get free medical
attention even after
retirement.
I realized the benefit
of such an insurance
only after I left my
job. My sick friends
preferred private
hospital to the
government's. They
bought insurance for the
whole family and paid
nothing for the whole
treatment. Now even
teachers have a special
medical scheme for them.
My bank sent several
insurance scheme even
for an aged men of 65. I
thought it was too
expensive to depart with
RM250 per-months. What
if I did not fell sick
within 10 years ? And
after all I could get a
free medical service in
government hospital ? I
just dismissed the
attractive offer by the
bank.
Insurance companies
emerged everywhere
looking for customers.
Many approached me and
lectured me of the
benefit, very
attractive. Not much to
pay for. I was
interested.
But when I told them of
my age they only uttered
the word 'sorry'.
Recently I had had a
cataract operation in a
private hospital. It was
quite a substantial sum.
I did not do in in the
local hospital for it
would take more than six
months before the
procedure. I talked to
those who were having
the operation together
with me. All were
financed by their
insurance. 80% of them
were business men.
It looks like insurance
has been a way of life
in most countries right
now. They even wanted to
make it mandatory for
every citizen. I am sure
we have heard of
Obamacare in the United
States. There was a talk
previously about making
it mandatory even in
this country.
If Najib is still given
a bodyguard and other
ex-PM benefit, it is
sure enough the
government will not
neglect his family in
case anyone fell sick.

10/07/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
UNDER-ESTIMATING THE
WILL OF THE POPULACE
Najib's camp is
still thinking the
Malays will come to pity
him and will kneel at him. He
believes in his coming
back. He is trying to
play victim and poor
as he is aiming at
killing his enemies,
those who will fight
against him
in the court of law. And
he is trying to show
that he is a poor man
now as his money is
being blocked by the
present government.
Najib is still having
billion somewhere at
home and abroad. If Zahid's family can keep
over a billion locally,
we would expect Najib to
have more, hidden
somewhere.
The people see his game
and his art of escaping
persecution. I read a
message that said, "If
Mahathir and company
fails, we will take
action." What sort
of action that will come
will stay as a guessing
game. A huge majority of
the population hate
Najib for many things
that he had done. We
don't know how much can
they contain their
patience.
It takes a few chaps
only to strike fire to
push for mob violence as
what had happen during
the French Revolution
and the rise of People's
Power in the
Philippines. Time and
again writers reminded
Najib of Saddam and
gadafi's fate. His
current drama are making
people losing their
composures. They have
listed the names of
those devious people in
Najib's camp, including
the despicable lawyer
and judges. A single
swoop will net all these
crooks. People's court
will be very
divastating.
You may not believe what
I say. Let us just wait
and see. |
10/07/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
FACING THE
AUTHORITY
A radio friend of
mine received a
letter from the
local town council
demanding him to
dismantle a 70 foot
antenna tower seen
as illegal under
Section 70(1). He
need to apply for
permission to build
a tower on his own
land, and he has to
submit a plan. The
plan must consist of
a tower and the
power house beneath
the tower.
Panicking on
receiving the letter
he informed a few of
his friends about
the warning. We get
together and discuss
the matter, and
decided to appeal to
the local authority
to allow it as it
was only for the
radio hobby, which
also would benefit
the country in case
of emergency and
natural disaster. We
wrote a letter an
appeal letter and
posted.
A month later my
friend received
another letter of
disapproval, quoting
the same clause of
Section 70(1). I
made a search from
the web on the
regulation on clause
70(1) and found it.
It said "no building
is allowed to be
built on private
land without
permission". Nothing
about tower.
I suggested that he
asked for a court
hearing. Let the
local council issue
a summon.
I said that his
small radio tower is
not the real tower
as built by the
Communication
companies which are
more than 150',
taking up a huge
area as the
structure of the
base only is more
than 15 feet in
diameter, and with a
power as well as a
small shack below
it. A structure can
only be considered a
building if it
provides protection
from rain or shine,
whereas his small
radio tower has a
base of less than 1
foot. And nowhere
one can find shade
at all.
In court we could
ask for self
defence, I told him.
Then we should ask
to authority to
define a building
and show us the
samples of the
towers they have in
their files.
It has been almost 4
months now from the
first letter.
Nothing has happened
yet.
My friend is still
waiting for the
action of the town
council.

PONDERING THE PAST
TRIPS
You may be a fantastic
traveller but I don't
think many of you could
beat my travelling
experiences. I have a
fuzzy memory to put the
experience in sequence.
They came to my mind in
random manners.
I have
been mugged and robbed
in
early morning while
taking a stroll at the
back lane in Los
Angeles. I was
confronted by wild
youths in Hawaii when I
asked them for a
direction but luckily
the bus was around to
enabled me to hop in. At
a lodging home in Hawaii
also they put me in a
room with a lady I
didn't know. I took boat
rides from village to
village and explore the
places alone on the
other side of Menam Chao
Phraya, where I saw big
trees were tied with
yellow cloth around them. In Disneyland
area California young
couples approached me
for some dollars for
dinner. There were two hitch
hikers that I picked up
on my rented car
somewhere in the United
States refusing to leave
the vehicle when we had
arrived a city, till I
drove the car to the
police station to drop
them there.
That was when I
travelled alone at the
age between 19 to 25.
In those days to go to
the United States we had
to fly via Japan. From
Japan to Los Angeles the
flight would stop at
Honolulu. As far as I
can remember I followed
the route for at least ten
times. Each time I would
break journey at Hawaii
and enjoy the scenery
and the Hula Kodak
Show. The last time in
Hawaii I took a long
rest on Waikiki Beach
while waiting for the 2
am flight. I left my
baggage at the airport
and went to the beach,
slept there, took a pipe
water bath and stroll
along the pathway where
people were playing
chess along the way.
There were tables with
chess sets for people to
exercise their minds.
I was watching a game,
between a Black and a
White man. They played
two games and the Black
man won. He asked me
whether I would have a
game with him. Gladly I
accepted the challenge.
He lost the game. He
asked me where I was
from. While chatting he
asked for another. I
also won the second one.
I said I had to stop
lest my I might miss my
flight. He gave a card
and told me to look for
him if I were to make a
visit to Hawaii again.
In 2004 or 2005 I made
another trip to USA. But
this time with two radio
friends. Our aim was to
go to Dayton Ohio for
the ham radio convention
called Hamvention. Ohio
was in the Mid West. The
plane had to go to Los
Angeles first and then
to New York. From New
York we planned to rent
a car to proceed to
Ohio. We decided to
break journey and stayed
in California for a
week.
In California we drove
almost throughout the
state including Las
Vegas.
I asked my friends to go
to Mexico as I had been
there to Tijuana before
with a tour group.
During that time the
tour group entered the
country and out of it
without having have to
show our passport. I
thought the procedure
was similar.
At the
point we parked our car
we saw Mexicans entered
the border through a
gate. So we followed
them in.
After enjoying the sight
seeing and having the
delicious rice with
grilled fish food we
decided to return to
USA. But we did not
remember the gate we
came from.
After about 30 minutes
of search we saw a long
line of Mexicans going
through a building. We
followed them and to
discover it was the
border immigration.
People were showing
their passports. As our
turn arrived the custom
officer asked for entry
documents. We had a hard
time explaining about
how we entered the
country through the
gate. We argued with the
immigration showing our
arrival date in USA. It
took about 2 hours
before we could convince
them and were freed,
allowed to enter USA
again.
There wasn't any amazing
special events that took
place during my travel
with organized tour
groups.
I started to
travel and explore when
I was 19 until now. Now
I am 72.

CAPTIVATED BY SILK
ROUTE DOCUMENTARIES
Lately I have been
watching the Youtube
documentaries on Chinese
Muslims in the Western
states of China, on the
marriage tradition and
on the Halal Foods.
These countries lies
along the Silk Route. I
failed to go to these
places with the local
tour agencies despite my
booking payments because
of the lack of quorum.
This year I already paid
RM1K about two months
ago for the same trip.
I hope to see the
fascinating rainbow
mountain range and to
observe the Chinese
Muslim culture. I
noticed so far from the
clips they are pure
Chinese and not a face
of Middle Eastern Arabic
people. They speak
mandarin, eat with chop
sticks, and using
joysticks. Without the
head scarves and the
hats we wouldn't have
guessed that they are
Muslims.
Like every other Chinese
they are hardworking
people. Elderly people
are very strong and
active unlike some of
the races in the world,
who would be lazy and
indolent, especially of
the Street people in the
United States.
I just want to look at
these people with my own
eyes, shake hands with
them and eat their food.
They also speak Arabic.
To me assessment and
estimation they are more
advance and progressive
than the local Malaysian
Malays.
From the documentaries I
noticed the local
governments are
Communist but the
co-operation with the
people is very friendly.
The Chinese Premier was
once making a visit to one of the
newly opened mosques in
one of the cities.
I hope the visit will
materialize. It will be
on the 11th. of
September 2018. To me
the time is short
computing from today,
yet no news is herd from
the travel agency,
Safirgotravel.

CHARGING NAJIB ON 2.6
BILLION
Not being a lawyer or
with the knowledge of
law, I do know that
criminals and the guilty
people would strive to
destroy or change
whatever dates on the
documents. And some even
faked materials as
evidences.
I know the story about
1Mdb about 2017 when it
was exploded in 2015 as
exposed by WSJ and DOJ.
I heard the denials by
Najib and his people.
They were talking about
the fake report by
Sarawak Report. When
Mahyuddin asked about it
the later was sacked.
Only then the donation
story told. Later Najib
said the money was
returned.
I would have charged
Najib for having kept
the money in secret
illegally from the date
the money came in till
the date he said he
returned the money. Or I
even might have
shortened the timeline
the money in his
possession. It was
obvious that when
Hussein Najadi wanted
all the transactions to
be reported to Bank
Negara that he was
murdered. In my mind it
was Najib who killed him
through the third party.
Such circumstantial was
seen on the murder of
Kevin Morais and PI Bala.
The manipulations had
been done. This is what
Najib has to answer to
God.
The DOJ Report can
always corroborate the
money trail. Now we do
understand why torture
was used to extract the
truth.
People recorded the lies
that have been told
about the money. And
lies about 1Mdb by
Arulkanda and Najib and
covered by Apandi Ali
under OSA, and the
actions taken on
investigators. In court
we can always show a
string of lies told by
Najib. If the authority
does not remember them
the members of the
public and the media do
keep records on them.
Just appeal to them to
come forward.
What I don't know who
authorize payment to the
false IPIC. If it was
Najib, the authority can
charge him under several
acts as it involved
millions of ringgit.
Once money is taken
illegally it is called
stealing. A crime has
been committed. Giving
back the money does not
squashed the crime done.
But it is funny that
Najib claimed he
returned the funny. If
it was a donation then
why should he returned
them. We are anxious to
know how much have been
spent out of the 2.6
billions. Can foreign
countries financed the
local election ? Again I
am sure it is illegal
and Najib can still be
charged under it. At
least he must informed
his deputy and other
UMNO members that he had
2.6 billions for the
GE13 election. I
remember even in 2015
all UMNO members denied
that Najib has that much
into his account in
Malaysia. Why didn't he
inform them ?

08/07/2018 - Abdul Rahman Raof |
SOCCER
I am not a
footballer but I
always say that if
anybody is shooting
a goal he speed of
the ball must be at
32 feet per second
square. It a speed
that the goalkeeper
cannot catch the
ball kicked away
from him. Of course
no layer can compute
how fast does his
ball travel. It
means he has to kick
the ball hard even
he is near the goal
post.
In the World Cup
2018 so far I saw
80% of the
kick to the goal
reached the speed
except for a few of
the heading that saw
jumping and clicking
the head. The
forceful headings
with the forward
momentum of the
body.
Another important
basic prerequisite
is speed and
stamina. All except
the goal keeper must
be able to run very
fast with the ball.
And the rest is
tactical planning.
I hate to see
players passing the
ball to the
opponents. If the
same player has made
a habit then I would
blame the coach for
not running the
systematic coaching.
This happened to our
local state team.
Winning or losing I
would expect
discussions during
the viewing of
recorded video
clips.
Millions of soccer
fans can't even kick
a ball but they know
what go wrong with a
game, the weak
players, who have
skill and who are
not, and who are
careless not alert
when in the field.
Playing well does
not mean a team will
emerge as a sure
winner. We saw this
in the ongoing World
Cup tournaments.
These are indicated
by the penalty kicks
where luck,
psychology, a slight
mishaps and other
unknown intervening
variables might come
in, like a sudden
change of thrust in
wind velocity.
Teams with Neymar,
Ronaldo, Messi and
Suarez however do
failed to enter
semi-final. Probably
the other teams have
players of similar
skills or that it is
telling us that
teamwork is the most
vital part of a
game. Only the
legacy of Pele
required us to
ponder what really
made Brazil so
supreme in those
days when Pele was
in.
Malaysia is still
having a long way to
go. Harimau was even
beaten by a team
from Papua New
Guinea.

FIXING BADGE MACHINE
The
trip to Ternate is soon.
As usual I would make a
pin badge and a keychain
as seen in the picture
here. There will be five
of us and I gathered the
materials for the items.
The key chain is a
little complicated
because I need to put a
mirror and a sticker. I
started with it. The
first one was fine. The
second one was with the
sticker sticking out by
just less a millimeter.
There are two cups that
I need to make a press. The first
one is to stick a picture
to a circular tin. The
second one is to stick
the first portion to the
mirror and it's
container. There are two
compartments for the
work.
On the second keychain,
I failed in the first
and the second presses.
Probably it was due to
my physical mobility
error. Nothing came out.
The mirror was also
missing. They got stuck
on the top part of the
moulder.
It took me hours to
clear the junk and the
broken mirror. The
machine detached into
two parts. Though it
made the work easier to
clean, I took a long
time to figure out how
to put them back.
I was finally successful
and continued with my
work, producing 5 key
chains and 5 pin-badges.
I am almost ready to
pack up. I already
booked a hotel room, Sky
Star that provide a
shutter service for
additional RM15. The
room is about RM85. The
journey will begin on
14th July 2018. |

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
