SAUDI
ARABIA AND FBI KILLED THE
LIARS
FBI is of course not MACC.
The later did a professional
job in investigating the
issue of 1Mdb whereas Abu
Kassim acted on something
else. FBI traced the money
trail, intercepted the phone
conversation and encrypted
Jho Lo's codes. When the
Arabs said they never donate
to Najib, we immediately
know who the liars are.
Instead of being ashamed for
the lies have been exposed
they continued to talk as if
they are like people without
face and dignity.
There was an interesting
story about the pink diamond
which Rosmah's latest
declaration it was a gift by
UAE. Formerly she said it
was from Jho Lo. All the
UMNO fellows backed Najib
and insisted that the money
was a donation. Even PAS
supported Najib.
UMNO Vice President said
that it was unfair for
anyone to punish UMNO
because of 1Mdb. He has
forgotten of what he said
about going to destroy those
shops that show support to
the opposition. He forget
about Jamal and the Samseng
went around to harass and
bully the people on the
street. He forget that UMNO
members were arrogance and
gangster like. Money were
stolen everywhere, MARA,
FELDA
and many more agencies.
Tuan Ibrahim, a spiritual
man, said that he believe
ARUL KANDASAMY.
He believes the 2.6 billions
were the donation.
Let me say this, that even
if the Malaysian court
believe the 2.6 billion was
a donation, we would say the
court is without a head and
mind. The Arabs denied of
the donation. And FBI-DOJ's
money trail showed neither.
Those are the end, making
the whole house of cards
collapse.
Any sane mind would cease to
show support to the present
UMNO and PAS leaders. There
have
to be a new set of minds to
loom back to be a powerful
and dignified opposition,
with dignity and honour,
with responsibility and
morality. The younger
generation must get back all
the money stolen from the
national coffer through
various means. UMNO still
hide the cash by the
billions, which they thought
it was their right to keep.

SECRETS ARE OUT
showing
an image of Abu Kassim
Former prime minister Najib
Abdul Razak, his wife Rosmah
Mansor and stepson Riza Aziz
were referred to in several
charge documents related to
the indictment of fugitive
financier Jho Low and senior
Goldman Sachs bankers by the
US Department of Justice
(DOJ).
While not named in full, the
DOJ documents mentioned "Malaysian
Official #1"
and described the person as
a "high-ranking official in
the Malaysian government and
the MOF (Ministry of
Finance) from in or around
at least 2009 until in or
around 2018 with high-level
authority to approve 1MDB
business decisions".
This comes as Jho Low was
indicted, in
absentia, alongside former
Goldman Southeast Asia
chairperson Tim Leissner and
its former managing director
Roger Ng for multiple counts
of money-laundering
involving billions in US
dollars from 1MDB and
conspiring to violate the
American Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act (FCPA), which
also details alleged
instances of bribery
involving Malaysian and Abu
Dhabi officials.
The charges mainly revolved
around three main bond
transactions involving
Goldman in 2012 and 2013 -
"Project Magnolia", “Project
Maximus,” and “Project
Catalyze".
The charge documents for
Leissner stated that while
the approximately US$6.5
billion raised by the three
bond transactions was to
support 1MDB projects, "more
than US$2.7 billion was
instead misappropriated by
the defendant (Leissner) and
his co-conspirators and
distributed as bribes and
kickbacks to government
officials in Malaysia and
Abu Dhabi, including...
Malaysian Official #1 and
Abu Dhabi Official #1, as
well as to other
co-conspirators and their
families, including
Leissner, Co-Conspirator #1
(Low) and Co-Conspirator #2
(Ng)."

Jho Low's 1MDB indictment -
US DOJ's full statement
On 'Project Maximus', the
documents stated that
Leissner was aware that
"Malaysian Official #1",
government officials from
Abu Dhabi and 1MDB
officials, among others,
would receive money from the
proceeds of the bond
transactions that passed
through various shell
companies "beneficially
owned and controlled by
himself, co-conspirator #1
and others to influence
those officials to execute
the bond with US Financial
Institution #1.
"Abu Dhabi Official #1 and a
close relative of Malaysian
Official #1, among others,
received some of these
funds."
As for Rosmah, the
documents
referred to her as the “wife
of Malaysian Official #1”
and claimed that money was
used to pay for jewellery,
including the infamous pink
diamond necklace.
Read more: Who
are 1MDB Officers 1, 2, 3
and the others in US list?
Other court documents on Low
also alluded to Najib's
stepson, Riza, as one of
Low, Ng and Leissner's
co-conspirators.
Referring to Riza as "a
close relative of Malaysian
Official #1" and
'Co-Conspirator #3', the DOJ
claimed that proceeds from
the bond transactions,
dubbed 'Project Magnolia',
were transferred to the
latter. This was later used
in the production of the
Hollywood movie
The Wolf of Wall Street,
which starred Leonardo
DiCaprio, among others.
"After Project Magnolia
closed on or about May 21,
2012, more than US$500
million of the bond proceeds
were allegedly
misappropriated and diverted
from 1MDB through numerous
wire transfers to bank
accounts in the name of
shell companies beneficially
owned and controlled by Low,
Leissner, Ng, and other
co-conspirators, including a
high-level official at the
Abu Dhabi entity that
guaranteed the Project
Magnolia bonds and a close
relative of Malaysian
Official #1.
"As alleged, the bond
proceeds transferred to
Malaysian Official #1's
close relative were later
used by the relative's US
motion picture company to
assist in the production of
the film 'The
Wolf of Wall Street,"
it added.
It was previously reported
that the DOJ had accused Red
Granite, the film production
company co-founded by Riza,
of using money stolen from
1MDB to finance films
including
The Wolf of Wall Street,
Daddy's Home and
Dumb and Dumber To.
Although never admitting
liability or wrongdoing, Red
Granite was to pay US$60
million in three instalments
over a period of one year in
a
settlement
reached with the US earlier
this year.
The case was
closed in
September.

DOJ is really tough compared
to Abu Kassim SPRM. It
seemed Abu Kassim depended

believed on Najib's words.
Did Abu Kassim believed in
Najib's words that he did
notr know Saiful, that ghe
did not know Djo Lo, that he
did not have 2.6 billions in

BE CAREFUL WITH LAZADA
AND LELONG
I can't say whether it
happens with all the goods
or only on selected ones. My
experience was with otg USB
storage and the 1 T byte HD
storage. Both are advertised
at an attractive price, the
org RM20 for the 32 Giga and
the HD is about RM117 for
1T.
You usually start by
choosing the type and number
you want. The type will
start with 4giga and with
64giga, attached to it the
additional price for each.
After choosing you will be
taken to the next step. The
final step is the payment.
This is where you have to be
very careful before asking
for the and entering the tac
number. The price may not be
RM20 anymore. Mine plus
postage was RM49. For the HD
I do not remember much but
the displayed price was
RM400+, the second time I
tried was RM800+. It was a
stark different from RM117
to RM400.
But for the smaller price
you may not notice, hence
entered the tac number and
confirmed the purchase. My
first experience on similar
matter was about two months
ago. I did not continue with
the purchase, simply ignored
and aborted it. I tried
again a few days ago.
Though the otg price
changed, I put a thought to
it. A day before I made an
inquire about the price of
the otg in one of the local
shops. It was RM49 for the
16 gig. Since this online
stuff cost similar price for
double the capacity, I
decided to continue with the
purchase.
Last night I saw in the
Youbeli.com that the 32 gig
otg was tagged at RM20. I
followed the step until the
payment stage, it was still
at RM20. I ordered another
one.
So be very careful with the
above online store. The
error might be due to the
programming mistakes or
deliberate.

MY ANALYSIS
PH would not have won
without anyone of the
political party involved,
PKR, Bersatu and DAP. It is
not because of who has the
most number of seats. But
after winning, instead of
building up the nation
together, each claimed the
credit and thumping chest as
a hero. Would it wise for
Anwar Ibrahim to say that he
go for the vote of
no-confident to oust Tun
Mahathir when he comes back
to parliament ? The root of
all the problems in Pakatan
today is Rafizi Ramli.
If PKR did not bring out
about the winning was due to
the party and that it has
the most number of seats,
there would not be the
possibility of UMNO
migration to Bersatu.
There are third people who
are putting fire, pouring
gasoline on Tun and also on
Anwar. Anear's camp brought
out the issue of Crooked
Bridge and the Third
National Car. Someone else
was whispering to Tun
Mahathir about Anwar did
what was done by Najib
though much lesser than
Najib.
Tun will not live long. We
don't to bet when he will
go. But he will after
settling with the big
corruptions that almost
bankrupt the nation. And
when he goes It will be
Anwar who will take his
place unless Anwar's proxy
who kept millions were
brought to light and
arrested. Rafizi should not
be so naive and stupid, not
to anticipate any
possibility that can befall
the party and the
government.
In fact the Rakyat is
thinking of an option in
GE15. Even if they do not
find PH no longer relevant
they won't go back to UMNO
for the saviour. Only the
myopic Malays will go to
PAS. It is not easy to
predict. But it is much
easier if Rafizi, Anwar and
Tun Mahathir seat down
together. Let Lium Kit Siang
be there to advise all the
parties.
Secondly, let me say here
that there are poor Malays,
Indians and the Chinese. As
a teacher I had been to
their houses. The poor
Chinese did paid all their
respective fees in schools
without questions. Even the
Principal caned them every
month if they failed in
Mathematics, Science, and
Bahasa Malaysia. They find
ways to make their living.
The media never highlighted
the plight of the poor
Chinese and the Indians.
That what made the other
race not happy with the
affirmative action. It is
imperative for the
government to help the poor
rather than any particular
single race.
PH government should focus
in helping all the people
rather than rushing for the
Prime Minister's post.

ATTITUDES
Definition
A
predisposition or a tendency
to respond positively or
negatively towards a certain
idea, object, person, or
situation. Attitude
influences an individual's
choice of action, and
responses to challenges,
incentives, and rewards
(together called stimuli).
Four major
components of attitude are
(1) Affective: emotions or
feelings. (2) Cognitive:
belief or opinions held
consciously. (3) Conative:
inclination for action. (4)
Evaluative: positive or
negative response to
stimuli.
The new
administrative assistant has
the right
attitude
and work ethic to succeed in
such a stressful and
competitive environment.

In Malay the word is SIKAP.
While typing this part of
the article a friend
messaged me asking for a
video clip of his school
which I captured with my
drone. I asked him to
download from the Youtube.
he came back telling me that
the Youtube did not allow
the file to be downloaded.
When I requested him to use
the Youtube downloader, his
answer was "I'll try."
Moment later he said
,"Done."
Some others might ask me
what youtube downloader is,
how to get it and would
plead for more assistance.
The two showed persons with
different attitudes. I would
prefer those who want to
try, strive to get the job
done, work hard to achieve
the target and ambition,
will find ways to pay the
loan made and very dependent
on himself. If I am an
employer I will reject the
person with negative
attitudes and will throw
tons of excuses and lies.
The success of the
Westerners in their voyages
of discovery was due to
their positive thinking,
dared to face monumental
challengers, to build huge
ships, sailing across the
hostile seas and oceans,
fighting against giant turbulences
and facing thge fierce storms. They have
the mind of thinking BIG and turned
their dreams into reality.
The Americans I know, make
research findings as an
element in their culture.
They do research, apply
statistical analysis even on
a small things. Surely they
are more rational than
appealing to sentiment and
emotion.
It is our bad attitudes that can
ruin us especially in a competitive
society. We can't afford to
be indolent and completely dependent on
others to enhance position.
We can't afford to be greedy
and corrupt. Our education
system must not only catter
our kids for the job market
but also tot ensure that they
would contribute to the tranquility,
harmony, peace and happiness
to the
society.
When the government appealed
for the Tabung Harapan, we
showed an attitude differ
from that of the Koreans. In
difficult time we asked for
higher renumeration, higher minimum
wage, free toll and much
more. Then we brought up the word
PROMISE to pressure the
government to meet our
demand.
Thanks God that not everyone
of us are having poor
attitudes. They understand
what survival is and the
need for diligence and hard
work to
climb to the pinnacle of
success. It is the attitude
that matters most. If you
are looking for an employee
the thing you would be
looking for a person with a
desirable attitude. |

I WOULD BURN ABU KASSIM
TO DEATH
It was indeed stupid for Abu
Kassim to say the 2.6
billion was donation in 2015
when we all knew Najib lied
from the start. Didn't Abu
Kassim questioned why Najib
first denied having the
money until cornered by WSJ
?
What evidence did he use
to say it was a donation
? Najib even dared not sue the WSJ
and DOJ.
Now I would say Abu Kassim
was one of the men who tried
to dis-informed the public
by implanting many false
documents. Is he a man of
any morality at all ?
We. the rakyat, did not see
any valid evident at all to
believe it was a donation.
We were trying to non
partisan and tried our best
with our full mental ability
to scrutinize the truth or
the fallacy of the
situation. Abu Kassim recent
statement showed his state
of mind and he is not fit at
all to be a man holding a
government post. He didn't
dare to make the statement
to Malaysiakini for he knows
he will be slashed to pieces
by the learned readers.
Abu Kasim is nothing but a
mole of Najib Razak.
A man like him should be
burned to death. |

KETUANAN
MELAYU
Let me say about the Malays
in this country which will
draw anger and hostility
from the irrational minds.
Under the
surveillance
of UMNO over the years till
the 21st Century individual
Malays and the States under
Malay rule have not shown
anything to prove the Malays
are superior and masters in
every field. Instead there
are numerous drug addicts,
thieves and robbers,
cheaters and beggars. The
lucky ones either work with
the government, Chinese
towkeys or doing their own
business.
Once the Malays own land and
properties though they might
not be wealthy but today
they have to beg from the
banks even to buy a small
piece for their homes. Those
with properties loved to
sell away hoping to be
wealthy forever.
There are too few Malays
built their wealth on their
own tireless effort. Ramly
Burger, Brahim food and
Faezah Rice are to name a
few. The rest have tom
depend on the Chinese. Many
accumulate wealth through
kickbacks and corruptions,
using their power to force
for bribery. Even the
wealth of a few Rulers found
its' way through the Chinese
millionaire and tycoons.
Thus shown by the legacy of
Djo Lo.
It is the laziness to think
and the inability to
forecast a distant future
that has turned them into
slaves.
How many Malay individuals
own a large piece of land
today ? All large estates
are owned by other than the
Malays. Young people today
can't afford to buy a house
that cost them nearly to a
million ringgit. What Malay
supremacy are they talking
about ?
As I pointed out the number
of real Malay millionaires
who are doing the legal
business on their own as
compared to the non-Malays.
The Malays confined
themselves to selling food
stuffs and the numbers are
growing, enough to put bread
on their tables.
Let ask the UMNO why they
keep on saying only 30% of
the Malays well of compared
to the non-Malays ? Doesn't
that show the status of
economic inferiority ? And
that is what they are
yelling about Ketuanan
Melayu ?
Look more into the
comparative professions, the
ability to speak multiple
languages,
and all other aspects of
life and their progress.
I am sorry to say even some
of the high ranking people,
are courting the non-Malays
to help them in making
money.
Being beggars at the bottom
and top, seeking bad money
to enrich themselves,
pushing and consuming drugs,
rob and plundering people's
money and national coffers
do not put the Malays even
near the respectable race.
They do not deserve to be
called TUAN.
The end of the Malay
supremacy is done by
themselves, using their
myopic vision and irrational
mind. They talk aloud, using
verses of the Holly Books,
flexing their muscles but
dishonest and greedy. They
stripped their own honor.
What supremacy do these
grass root UMNO has ?
Hoping for money from Najib
and Zahid Hamidi ? |

WHY LESS INTEREST IN
SEANET
SEANET means Southeast Asia
Network, the gathering of
radio amateur enthusiasts of
Southeast Asia. During the
network time the check in
would start in countries
around Southeast Asia and
later opened up to the
world. That explains why in
the SEANET convention ham
all over the world were
invited. And SEANET began to
move out the Southeast Asian
region. SEANET conventions
were held in India, China,
Japan and Australia.
In those days there wasn't
any internet. Hams never
know how their counterparts
whom they have been working
for years look like. We told
ourselves that we need to
them at least once in our
lifetime. But not all could
make it to the meeting
place. I have not seen
AP2AP or VU2AU till now.
I have not been on the air
for more than 20 years now.
The old people are not there
anymore. The whole culture
has changed. Even the band
condition were not like
before. Gone are the days
where a 10 foot antenna
could copy signals that
could break your S-meter.
The polution, the use of
different terminology and
the free-for-all procedure
took me away from the hobby.
For more than 20 years I
have not checked into the
network.
Attending the convention is
meaningless to me. I would
have nobody to look forward
to meet, and nobody to hug
and cuddle. But there is
nothing wrong if a person
just want to enjoy and have
some fun, in meeting some
fellow hams and radio
enthusiasts. We can merely
regard it as a vacation as
well.
9M2OK
OSMAN NEVER MISSED A SEANET
Dr Ken Singh, 9M2KN, is one
who never missed the SEANET
convention. I remember when
Malaysia was to host the
convention he was the target
of attack by one Zu and her
friends.
Amateur radio has taken a
new path and having a new
philosophy. It is dead when
Morse code ceases to be a
requirement. It kills the
interest of so many old
hams. And it is shocking to
know the composition of the
amateur radio population.
The rare real hams are those
who chat with their fingers.
There are still many in the
West but hard to find one in
this region.
I am not fit to the new
radio world. And it is not
my principal hobby anymore.

A LONG TRIP
Rusli, a friend of mine, is
on his way to Vladivostok to
take a train ride to Moscow.
The approximate journey is
about 7000 kilo meters. That
will be about 7 days on the
train without any hopping
off and hopping in. The
picture on the left is
showing Rusli on the left.
There
were a group of them taking
the trip under RARECATION, a
tour company in Kuala
Lumpur. I did not asked
Rusli as to the total
number. But it looks like
there are 6 men and 11
women. 13 of them flew from
KLIA to OSAKA, to Korea and
Vladivostok. 4 fly straight
to the peninsular and join
the rest.
It looks like a very
adventurous and interesting
trip. Rusli will be updating
me with pictures along the
way. The last pictures were
taken before they departed
to Korea using a ferry.
They will sleep on the ferry
for two nights. I gather
that there is no free Wifi
or even the Wifi service on
the ferry. And I don't think
there is any internet
service on the train too.

YOUR FRIEND YOUR ENEMY
Looking at the scenario
today, blazoned on the air,
there were talked about big
money by the millions and
billions. They quarrel among
themselves on the issue of
millions stashed in their
homes and banks and condos.
Just look at ourselves, what
do we have ?
and when they quarrel they
called the other party by
name, insulted their roots,
and used whatever words that
came into their minds. They
were once friends.
We the lower portion of the
lowly have almost nothing
except for the meagre bread
on our table. We have
friends around us. We drink,
eat and laugh together. We
share secrets of our affairs
with women and men. But we
never realize that they were
all save as long as we
remain friends.
The cohesiveness will weaken
as we indulge ourselves in
politics of opposing
philosophies. Or even in the
same team but each having
different motives. We may
turn to be greedy. We may
want to grab power and high
posts. Your friends can
become your enemies. There
will be back stabbing. All
the old secrets will be
exposed, about the girl you
kissed, about the things you
picked up from a stall,
about your sex life etc etc.
As a lowly men, we can
somehow keep our morality
and our self respect. We
would feel shameful to face
the public with our error
made or errors of our family
members. We would avoid
ourselves to be in public
for as long as we can. Our
low status without greed or
ambition we don't have any
space to strip our own
friends of their incapacity
or obscurity.
At best try not to trust
anyone. Keep a secret to
yourself. Your friends can
one day become your foes.

TUAN GURU HAJI HADI NEEDS
THE MONEY TO GO TO LONDON IN
APRIL
I suspect TGHH needs money
to fight Rewcastle in
English court in April next
year. His head is spinning
where to get the money in
case he lost the court case
and his lawyer fee is huge
enough for him to pay.
Hadi is not the Chief
Minister of Kelantan. The
job to request for Federal
Government fund is the
Menteri Besar working
together with the Klantan
Treasury. Unless he got the
instruction from the Holly
prophet in his dream again.
His Deputy Tuan Ibrahim said
that most of Hadi's actions
came from the Prophet
Mohammad. His trip to Iran
was instructed by the
prophet.
If I were LGE, I would call
the treasury of Kelantan to
Putrajaya and scrutinize the
annual income of the state
and it's expenditure. For
the 8 months grants would be
given in stages to the
treasury office to pay the
emoluments and salaries of
the non-political civil
service. In this way no
money would be leaked to
Hadi for his London trip.
As an Islamic state PAS can
apply the Islamic methods
and procedure in governing
the state socially and
economically. PAS should be
able to do so as they are
very great in their
speeches. And TGHH would
quote verses after verses of
the Holly Book. |

TIME FRAME NAJIB..TIME
FRAME
One evidence most people did
not take into account is
timeline. There are
questions that could be
answered immediately because
they are as simple as one
two three. If you take an
hour or a day to answer the
sum of two plus two, it
shows something is wrong
somewhere.
When Najib was interviewed,
he had no lawyer beside him
to feed him with the answer.
So he said he
assumed
the 2.6 billion was from the
Arab. When the Arab Finance
Minister stripped him naked,
he wrote a long essay in his
Facebook but he did not
mention he has a receipt. It
took hours later to declare
that he has a receipt. It
indicates someone has told
him about it.
Would it imperative to show
all the documents 3 years
ago when the WSJ accused him
having the money in his
account ? And to the DOJ too
? Or better still to take
them to court. The public
had insisted that he should
sue the WSJ or DOJ for
slander and lies in order to
clear himself.
A document can always be
forged though some just
change the dates on them.
The trick has become so
stale these days. What more
if they only emerge years
later.
Besides Najib has proven
that he has no credibility
and telling lies through his
teeth. Either he did them
himself or paid someone to
lie or both lie at the same
time. This was seen in
Arulkanda road show stun
trying to convince the whole
nation that 1mdb was sound
and wealthy. Don't we
remember what Tuan Ibrahim,
the PAS Deputy said ? He
believed Arul's explanation.
We don't delay to say the
truth. We don't stutter as
well. We don't take years to
come up with the evidence.
Don't worry Najib, you are
not the only one who always
lie and with full of
excuses. There are many
others who are like you. You
yourself admitted when you
asked other international
figure to be investigated as
well doing the dirty job.
Tun wants to know them too.
Will you take time to figure
out who are they ?
We are computing how long
Najib will take to expose
them. |

WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO
DAMN ROSMAH MANSOR
Hitherto, none from Najib's
family has cast their
damnation on Najib's second
wife who was no more a
virgin when she married
Najib. She had a husband and
a child before this. A woman
of this stature will never
be respected by the
traditional society. She was
even disowned by her father.
from my observations and as
I had stated repeatedly in
this unknown blog that
whatever touched by Najib
Razak would turn into mud as
oppose to the well known
phrase, the Midas touch.
Rational man does not
believe in a phenomena we
called SIAL (a person
carrying bad luck) . It is a
mystery the traditional
people still believe.
Najib has been changing his
defence from time to time,
never to admit his wrong
doing or his crimes done.
1. He denied having the 2.6
billion in his account. His
supporters said that Najib
would be stupid to
keep money in the local
bank.
2. He wanted to sue the WSJ
for saying he had the money
in his account.
3. He sacked his Deputy and
other Ministers who
questioned him.
4. It took a few months
later to come up with his
donation story. Zahid Hamidi
told the Malaysians that he
went to meet a donor
himself. Later he said he
met several donors.
5. It took him a few years
later to show proof of the
purported letter of such
donation. But the
letterhead was improper and
without the King's
signature.
There is something
wrong with the
letterhead. The “al” in
Al Saud is spelled in
all caps, ie as “AL
Saud”. This is not
conventional. In
addiition, the name
should carry the
person’s title, ie
“Prince Saud...” Again,
the fact that it doesn’t
is irregular. Full
disclosure: I have been
living in the Middle
East for nearly 10
years.
His actions, his lies and
his spinning of things is
similar to the small kids
and young adults. In him we
saw both the sanity and
insanity. He seemed to be
coached by his lawyer and
his wife. What were found in
the police raid to Pavilion
and the house shone a clear
proof of Rosmah's likings.
Her lifestyle seems to excel
all the world leaders'
spouses. Being a university
graduate she wanted to be
more than a Minister's wife.
She wants to be in the Prime
Minister's Department. She
wanted to run an educational
program. She wanted to be an
ambassador and a Foreign
Minister. She wanted to deal
with Obama, Trump and Putin
herself. And she herself
admitted that she had no
time to play badminton as
she had national affairs to
attend to.
The old folks would blame
her for the problem faced by
her husband. But people
talked about the charm and
black magic she used on
Najib and the rest. Her own
daughter and the her village
folks talked about the same
thing. I don't want to
comment about it as I have
not seen it nor do I believe
in black magic.
I expect Najib's family to
condemn her as the trouble
maker and persuade Najib to
divorce her.
Najib's case is only only on
corruption. Proofs could
emerge on his involvement
with the murder of Kevin
Morais and Hussein Najidi on
matters on money, and PI
Bala and Altantuya on
matters of Najib's affair
with the Mongolian lady. The
penalty for murder is death
by hanging.
Dont forget
ACQUIESCE
is
to accept, agree, or
allow something to
happen by staying
silent or by not
arguing. What if
Rosmah was at the scene
where Altantuya was murdered
and Najib gave approval for
his bodyguard to do the
killing job.
If Saudi Arabia chucks Najib
out then it is the end of
him. He can make a request
to have him and Rosmah be in
the same cell. But he can
bribe the wardens to provide
him with a much better
comfort. He still has
billions stashed somewhere. |

Najib admits didn’t verify
source of RM2.6b, assumed it
was Saudi ‘donation’
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 — Datuk
Seri Najib Razak has
admitted today that he did
not verify the source of the
RM2.6 billion that had ended
up in his bank account,
which had allegedly been
siphoned from 1Malaysia
Development Bhd (1MDB).
Speaking to Al Jazeera’s
101 East show, the
former prime minister said
he had assumed the money was
“donations” connected to
Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah
bin Abdulaziz Al Saud after
the latter gave assurance of
his support.
“The question is when I
received the funds, was I
aware of the source of the
money or whether the source
of the money is in dispute
as to who owns the fund.
Certainly, in my capacity, I
would not have access to
banking knowledge.
“Because whoever owns the
fund is protected by the
secrecy of the banking laws
so when I received the
funds, in all honesty, I
thought it was a genuine
donation and at that
particular time, the
knowledge that I had was
based on a conversation with
King Abdullah,” he told Al
Jazeera reporter Mary Ann
Jolley.
Najib also denied knowledge
of the matter when Jolley
pointed out that the United
States Department of Justice
report clearly showed the
paper trail of the funds,
and Najib’s authority as
prime minister.
“Yeah, but that prime
ministers do not have access
to banking information,”
Najib said.
A transcript of the
interview was made available
to
Malay Mail. In the
hour-long grilling, Najib
lost his cool a couple of
times.
The show will be aired on
the news channel tomorrow
morning at 11.30am Malaysian
time.
Last month, Najib said he
had requested the cash from
the Saudi King, as a
“contingency fund” to aid
Barisan Nasional (BN) during
the 2013 general election,
to which the King then
agreed to contribute an
initial sum of US$800
million (RM3.31 billion
today).
However, Najib claimed he
only received US$681 million
(then RM2.6billion) from the
King’s various accounts, one
of which came from a company
named Tanore.
Tanore has been reported to
be a supposed shell company
used to wire funds from 1MDB
to accounts of selected
beneficiaries, including
Najib’s
In May, Malaysian
Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)
chief Datuk Mohd Shukri
Abdull said there was no
evidence that a Saudi
monarch had deposited the
money, citing investigations
in the kingdom in 2015.

MY VIEW ON UMNO FUTURE
75% of the old UMNO guys
must go. Those are the
corrupt, the pompous and
haughty, the arrogant, and
the stupid. Politics is best
to serve the people rather
than to enrich oneself. We
could see clearly the
haughty and pompous leaders
during the UMNO General
assembly. The way they
deliver the speeches
projected themselves as the
best and the smartest.
It is hard to shake away bad
habits and attitudes, greed
and selfishness. They can
treat the laymen like dirt.
I was one of the victims
beside millions of others.
Our boss addressed us as
Penyu Tua and bragged and
bragged. Thanks God he was
long dead. The Tabung Haji
bullied me so much for the
error they themselves made.
My own student was so very
arrogant as a strong man of
Najib Razak.
The used religion to command
obedience, elevating Najib
as Prophet Mohammad and now
likened Zahid as one.
There are a few good ones
who still hold to the old
principal and known to be
honest and sincere. The UMNO
youths can still keep these
people. And the youths must
get back the money that is
stacked by Najib by the
billions. Some are still in
Malaysia in term of pure
cash, surprisingly in rooms
of houses. If they work hard
they could recover back the
money, hand back to the
government, and hope that
their effort will be
appreciated.
We call it a overhauling
process.
The rakyat still wants a
strong opposition party,
non-tainted and clean
personalities.
Zahid made a road show for
himself, hoping all his ill
gotten wealth could be
protected. I believe he will
be whispering to the people
that UMNO still have
billions, more than what the
government has. He has said
this before about UMNO is
still having big money.
He is racing against time.
And he has to pray a lot to
God.
A vacuum will be created if
PKR becomes stink. Within 2
years we will know the true
nature of PKR. DAP will
remain strong. PBB has to be
revitalized by young blood.
What will be transpired and
will be filling the vacuum
is waited to be seen. The
honest UMNO members can jump
into the vacuum and form a
new party if the old guards
are still adamant.

1 MDB STATUS
There is nothing wrong with
1Mdb - Najib and Apandi
1 MDB makes profit and has a
lot of money - Arulkanda
The enemy of Najib simply
feel jealous to the 1Mdb
because it made a lot of
profit -
The Pahang Malays and those
chosen to make pilgrimage to
Mecca
Before GE14 it was Arulkanda
who was paid by Najib to
make a road show explaining
the real situation of 1Mdb
that was well and
healthy and could sustain
it's existence by itself.
The effort made by Najib was
very immense to convince the
success of 1Mdb.
Today we all know that Najib
took the rakyat's money to
pay to the false IPIC and
again to the tur one. Hence
Najib has made two wrong
things. The first one he
lied to the people and
purported promising
Arulkanda 5 million ringgit
to go round the country to
lie to the people. If it was
to cheat the public then it
was an act of a crime.
Secondly he used rakyat's
money, not the 1Mdb's money
to pay to the IPIC. It is
called a misappropriation of
fund.
Money of one heading, when
excess and needs to be used
for something else, needs a
virement procedure and the
request must be approved.
That is only allowed within
the same department.
His proclamation on the
status of 1Mdb and his
taking of BR1M's fund had
not only indicated his bad
faith and intention, but
also also wrong as 1Mdb does
not have a heading by itself
in the cash book. Najib
could not be a supreme being
as to act in any way as he
likes, for he is not a god
or God. And his cabinet
could not claim that the
members gave full power and
confidence to the prime
Minister to do what he liked
and deemed fit. Otherwise
there was no need a cabinet.
Najib should not talk of his
clear conscience because a
thief who stole from a
millionair's house too has a
clear conscience for
stealing from the rich. The
Jews took over Palestine
land because of their
conscience as they only
follow their Holly Book
about Judea and Samaria.
If Najib had wanted to save
Malaysia, he would not have
made all the lopsided
contracts and made payment
even the projects were not
carried out.
Najib's penalty should have
not been thrown into a
lockup but he must be
tortured throughout his
life. |

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS ARAB
MINISTER ?
It is the same Minister who
twisted tales about the
murder of Kharshphhi in
Istanbul. There were a
series of denials before the
Arabs were cornered. Najib,
through his Arab crook
friends, must have appealed
to the Saudi King to lie
again to Malaysia.
Najib's demeanours in
dealing with the fellow
Malaysians on his money
already proved he was
guilty. The cook-up stories
came too much later when he
could have declared of his
innocent earlier in the
beginning. He denied having
the money. Even if the King
told him not to divulge the
secret, he still have to say
he had the money in his
account.
Najib is truly a crook. And
it has been his style to
appeal to anybody at all to
save him, to American
Presidents, to Anwar Ibrahin,
to Tun Mahathir. He simply
do it without any shame or
any guilt. I hope the judge
understands enough of
Najib's behaviour.
If the judge takes the Arab
Minister's words as the
truth, it is indeed very
wrong. As Najib used to say
'IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE'.
The money to fight terrorist
should not be made a secret.
This was what Najib had said
before. Then later he change
as the appreciation to Najib.
If it was a mere gift, just
made a TT to the Prime
Minister.
DOJ was not wrong with the
money trail. That was the
real evidence and the fact.
The Arab has no credibility.
They killed the innocent
people in Yemen. They lied
about Kharshoggi's murder.
They did not do much to the
plight of the Palestinians. |

PERSONALLY I HATE
MALAYSIAN TAXI DRIVERS
Taxis in Kuala Lumpur rarely
willing to take you to the
destination you want unless
you are willing to pay them
a very high price. They
refused to use the meter
too. It was during that time
I wished there were tuk-tuk.
It is not the work of the
government to protect bad
taxi drivers who sucked
customer's blood. The
welfare of the majority must
be the first and the
foremost. But the taxi
associations didn't seem to
bother the complaints which
implies that it is their
right to be arrogant and
scrupulous, to be
irresponsible and dishonest.
What are the associations
for ? Just to strengthen the
bad attitudes of the drivers
? They must stress on
ethics, attitudes,
cleanliness and customers
satisfactions.
I had two taxis that hit my
car at two different times
and refused to repair the
damaged done. I had my two
subordinates who were
charged RM35 each for a
short trip.
Thanks to the alternative
transportation approved by
the government. We have the
choice to make by the
competition. But the taxis
want a pure monopoly so that
they can squeeze their
customers. If taxis refuse
to transport us we can now
find somebody who is
willing.
With their insolent
behaviours I have a feeling
that people will try to
avoid them. They have only
themselves to blame, not the
government or the public.
A worker in my workplace
married a taxi driver. She
maid loans to buy household
utensils and using another
worker as a guarantor. But
when she passed away, her
husband, the taxi driver
refused to reimburse to the
friend. He enjoyed the TV
set, the refrigerator, and
the sofa sets. Years later
his son, who became a car
salesman, accosted me
and introduced himself as so
and so. A sudden hatred
seized me. I saw him as a
Satanic son.
Surely there are a few
exceptional cases where taxi
drivers are not so bad as
portrayed. By keeping quiet
to their friends' rudeness
they would be part of the
crooks.

LET US BE LOYAR BURUK
Loyar Buruk means a
Rotten Lawyer. It is a term
given to laymen who are not
lawyers and are not so
educated. That fit me pretty
well.
The ex-Prime Minister
says "I take the money they
wanted to charge me. I
returned the money they also
wanted to charge me..." We
need to specify the term
taking the money. If it
implies corruption and
stealing, you will be
arrested as they fall under
criminal activities.
When a thief is caught
stealing he will be charged
according to the crime and
he has to go to court. If he
is found guilty the judge
will have to look at penalty
as stated in the law book.
Usually it says the penalty
is a month jail, or a fine
of RM1000 or both. There is
nothing that says 'or by
returning the stolen item'.
If this is included then
everyone who was caught
stealing can go scot-free. A
man who stole a tin of Milo
was jailed for a month.
Anybody could have paid for
the Milo to take him off the
hook.
A great many people had
gone into incarceration for
the missing of a few cents
where he could have replaced
it with even a thousand
ringgit.
Najib shouldn't have
complained. He has Shafiee
with him who will use
bombastic words which even
the judge does not know the
meaning. Then he can yell to
disqualify the judge.
According to
investigators, Najib
returned some of the money
to Tanor. Then the money was
used to buy the pink
diamond. Those people really
follow the money trail.
The Loyar Buruk we are.
But that's what we think the
law is all about. The remedy
is not as simple as what
Najib had thought. He is a
man just like us in the eyes
of God and in the eyes of
the people. The one big
different between Najib and
us is that we know what
shame is. He doesn't. |

LISTEN TO N6TT QSO
To achieve the standard
of a high level ham is not
easy. A Ham is a person. It
differs from a ham station
or the technology that goes
with it. It is not a
sophisticated machine, the
ability to purchase and
setup a very expensive
station. A Ham can walk
about to any location of the
surface of the earth.
Equipments and stations have
a lot of limitation.
He understands the
principle and the working of
every portion of the
equipments, able to compute
values, the antenna length,
understanding the waveforms
and how to manipulate it. He
knows the ethics and
morality of hamming. And
within him, he has the
ability of sending and
deciphering the traditional
Morse codes.
N6TT is a sample we can
study about. He does not use
computer to send Morse codes
nor to decode the message.
Just observe the above clips
and see how he operates CW.
To me the elimination of CW
means the death of ham
radio, leaving only amateur
radio that comprises of any
type radio communication as
a hobby. Today there have
changes in radio
terminology, lingo, SOP and
culture. A few traditional
ham radio still exist.
I am glad that there are
people who still keep ham
radio alive by constantly
transmitting in this mode
and there people who strive
to be like these seasoned
hams, who are very well
verse in Morse codes. Though
CW is not about speed alone,
it is fun to enhance our
capability to the higher
speed. It keeps our brain
alert and our mind awake.
I would still recommend
12 wpm for most of us,
unless you have a sparring
partner who can copy as fast
as you are. At the slower
speed we allow other short
wave listener all over the
globe to copy our
conversation too. Imagine
the kick a beginner has when
he could copy 100% of the
messages.
If you don't like CW then
don't listen to it and do
not stop the others from
acquiring the skill.

THE SPICE OF LIFE
It seems it was just like
yesterday. But it was the
day before, the 21st Oct.
2018. My student promised to
pick me up at 6 pm for a
seafood dinner at a location
about 1 hour away, Kuala
Perlis. I shifted my evening
walk from the usual 5 pm to
4 pm. It would give me ample
time to clean myself and to
get ready for the trip. When
I came back I saw a message
that she got a sudden fever
and had to cancel the trip.
Nevertheless I drove alone
to the same destination.
The meal was very delicious.
It was the stall where her
family loved to go. I
decided to buy the fried
squids and butter prawn
morsel for her and her son
and daughters. I knew her 18
year old daughter would love
the butter-prawn very much.
Her husband was in Kuala
Lumpur attending his job.
When I arrived home and rang
her doorbell she looked so
morose. Her 18 year old
daughter had an accident. "I
asked her to go back to my
mother's home to get some
medicine. On the way back
she hit a car in front. Now
she and her elder sister are
at the police station." She
said that the damage was
only to both of the cars.
And they were about to
settle. She refused to go
and see them as she was so
tired. She continued, "I
rang my son at UUM
(University Utara Malaysia)
about 20 times but there was
no reply." After consoling
her I asked for an excuse to
leave for my home. I asked
her to call me if the need
arises.
The next day, 22nd October
2018, I decided to call a
maid to clean my house. her
price is RM10 per hour. But
I paid by the piece rate;
outside cleaning and
clearing is RM50 and the
inside cleaning is another
RM50. Within one and half
hour she finished the
outside job. There wasn't
much work inside but only
sweeping and mopping the
hallway. She completed the
job in less than an hour.
Having completed mopping,
she wanted to wash the
inside of the bathroom. It
is a small room. She poured
the CLOROX detergent by
quite a large amount, giving
a very pungent smell. I
commanded her to leave the
place for a while until the
smell went away. About 15
minutes late the strong
smell faded. She went in to
continue washing. She was
coughing endlessly. I asked
her to quit. I asked her to
drink a lot of water and I
took her home.
30 minutes later she
messaged me saying she got
fever and fell sick. I
rushed to a pharmacy trying
to look for anything to
neutralize the poison. I was
told that a pure coconut
water would be a good
neutralizer. I bought a
couple of packets from a
nearby hawkers and delivered
them to her.
It was during this a friend
called me asking whether I
was free. Another friend's
car broke down about two
miles away. He asked me to
wait at home. He would pick
me up in a few minutes time.
It was about 3pm.
We arrived at a gasoline
station where the problem
vehicle was parked. We sat
down and chat while waiting
for a foreman to arrive.
After fixing the trouble we
left the place at about 8
pm.
I remembered ,my student and
rang her up to know the
state of her predicament.
"Worse thing happened to me,
Cikgu." Cikgu means a
teacher.
"What about ?" I asked.
"Remember I told you about
my son ? He never replied to
my call until this morning.
I decided to to to the
university. First I went to
his college. With the help
of his friends we entered
his room. Everything was
intact. His friend told me
that he was going home.
I was more panicked. I
informed his father. His
father put on the facebook
about his missing son. I
asked all of my friends to
trace him too. Nowadays you
know, there were a lot of
news of murders and kidnaps.
I went to the university
office, to make a report to
the Vice Canceller.
I had had a horrid idea of
bad thing happened to him.
I came home to make a police
report of a missing person.
It was at this time my son
rang me up. I felt release
but very angry. I told him
how much problem that he had
caused to the whole
family..."
His son is about 21 years
old and a second year
student at the Northern
State University.
Then I received a message
from the maid saying she
felt cured and thanked me
for the coconut water.

THE CREDIBILITY OF SAUDI
ARABIA 2
News
How the man behind Khashoggi
murder ran the killing via
Skype
Reuters
| Published: |
Modified:
INSIGHT
| He ran social media
for Saudi Arabia’s crown
prince. He masterminded
the arrest of hundreds
of his country’s elite.
He detained a Lebanese
prime minister. And,
according to two
intelligence sources, he
ran journalist Jamal
Khashoggi’s brutal
killing at the Saudi
consulate in Istanbul by
giving orders over
Skype.
Saud al-Qahtani, a top
aide for Saudi Crown
Prince Mohammed bin
Salman, is one of the
fall guys as Riyadh
tries to stem
international outrage at
Khashoggi’s death. Last
Saturday, Saudi state
media said King Salman
had sacked Qahtani and
four other officials
over the killing carried
out by a 15-man hit
team.
But Qahtani’s influence
in the crown prince’s
entourage has been so
vast over the past three
years - his own rise
tracking that of his
boss - that it will be
hard for Saudi officials
to paint Qahtani as the
mastermind of the murder
without also raising
questions about the
involvement of Prince
Mohammed, according to
several sources with
links to the royal
court.
“This episode won’t
topple MbS (Mohammed bin
Salman), but it has hit
his image which will
take a long time to be
repaired if it ever
does. The king is
protecting him,” one of
the sources with ties
to the royal court said.
Qahtani himself once
said he would never do
anything without his
boss’ approval.
“Do you think I make
decisions without
guidance? I am an
employee and a faithful
executor of the orders
of my lord the king and
my lord the faithful
crown prince,” Qahtani
tweeted last summer.
Qahtani (photo)
did not respond to
questions from
Reuters.
His biography on Twitter
changed in recent days
from royal adviser to
chairman of the Saudi
Federation for
Cybersecurity,
Programming and Drones,
a role he had held
before.
Prince Mohammed had no
knowledge of the
operation that led to
Khashoggi’s death and
“certainly did not order
a kidnapping or murder
of anybody”, a Saudi
official said last
Saturday. Officials in
Riyadh could not be
reached for further
comment.
As the crisis has grown
over the past three
weeks, Saudi Arabia has
changed its tune on
Khashoggi’s fate, first
denying his death, then
saying he died during a
brawl at the consulate,
and now attributing the
death to a chokehold.
A
senior Saudi official
told
Reuters
that the killers had
tried to cover up what
happened, contending
that the truth was only
now emerging. The Turks
reject that version of
the story, saying they
have audio recordings of
what happened.
The kingdom has survived
other crises in the past
year, including the
fallout of the crown
prince’s short-lived
kidnapping of Lebanese
prime minister Saad
al-Hariri in 2017.
Hariri, too, was
verbally humiliated and
beaten, according to
eight Saudi, Arab and
Western diplomatic
sources. The man leading
that interrogation: Saud
al-Qahtani.
France intervened to
free Hariri, but Western
capitals did not take
Riyadh to task for
detaining a head of
government - and Prince
Mohammed emerged
emboldened, according to
these Saudi sources.
This time is different,
with some Western
capitals increasingly
critical of the murder
and the Saudi
explanation.
Germany has announced it
will stop arms sales,
while Britain, France
and Germany issued a
joint statement asking
for an “urgent…
clarification of exactly
what happened Oct 2”.
President Donald Trump
has swung between saying
he is unhappy with the
Saudi investigation but
also that he does not
want to jeopardise US
arms sales to the
country.

In the Khashoggi

present as he has been
in other key moments of
MbS’s administration.
This time, though, his
presence was virtual.
Khashoggi, a US-based
Saudi journalist often
critical of Saudi Arabia
and its leadership,
walked into the Istanbul
consulate around 1pm on
Oct 2, to pick up some
documents that would
allow him to marry.
Turkish security sources
say he was immediately
seized inside the
consulate by 15 Saudi
intelligence operatives
who had flown in on two
jets just hours before.
According to one
high-ranking Arab source

Qahtani was beamed into
a room of the Saudi
consulate via Skype.
He began to hurl insults
at Khashoggi over the
phone. According to the
Arab and Turkish
sources, Khashoggi
answered Qahtani’s
insults with his own.
But he was no match for
the squad, which
included top security
and intelligence
operatives, some with
direct links to the
royal court.
A Turkish intelligence
source relayed that at
one point Qahtani told
his men to dispose of
Khashoggi. “Bring me the
head of the dog”, the
Turkish intelligence
source says Qahtani
instructed.
It is not clear if
Qahtani watched the
entire proceedings,
which the high-ranking
Arab source described as
a “bungled and botched
operation”.
A second senior Saudi
official said Qahtani
had been detained
following his sacking by
royal decree, but he
continued to tweet
afterwards. The sources
with links to the royal
court said he was not
believed to be under
arrest.
In the Khashoggi
killing, Qahtani was
present as he has been
in other key moments of
MbS’s administration.
This time, though, his
presence was virtual.
Khashoggi, a US-based
Saudi journalist often
critical of Saudi Arabia
and its leadership,
walked into the Istanbul
consulate around 1pm on
Oct 2, to pick up some
documents that would
allow him to marry.
Turkish security sources
say he was immediately
seized inside the
consulate by 15 Saudi
intelligence operatives
who had flown in on two
jets just hours before.

Qahtani (photo)
did not respond to
questions from
Reuters.
His biography on Twitter
changed in recent days
from royal adviser to
chairman of the Saudi
Federation for
Cybersecurity,
Programming and Drones,
a role he had held
before.
Prince Mohammed had no
knowledge of the
operation that led to
Khashoggi’s death and
“certainly did not order
a kidnapping or murder
of anybody”, a Saudi
official said last
Saturday. Officials in
Riyadh could not be
reached for further
comment.
As the crisis has grown
over the past three
weeks, Saudi Arabia has
changed its tune on
Khashoggi’s fate, first
denying his death, then
saying he died during a
brawl at the consulate,
and now attributing the
death to a chokehold.
A
senior Saudi official
told
Reuters
that the killers had
tried to cover up what
happened, contending
that the truth was only
now emerging. The Turks
reject that version of
the story, saying they
have audio recordings of
what happened.
The kingdom has survived
other crises in the past
year, including the
fallout of the crown
prince’s short-lived
kidnapping of Lebanese
prime minister Saad
al-Hariri in 2017.
Hariri, too, was
verbally humiliated and
beaten, according to
eight Saudi, Arab and
Western diplomatic
sources. The man leading
that interrogation: Saud
al-Qahtani.
France intervened to
free Hariri, but Western
capitals did not take
Riyadh to task for
detaining a head of
government - and Prince
Mohammed emerged
emboldened, according to
these Saudi sources.
This time is different,
with some Western
capitals increasingly
critical of the murder
and the Saudi
explanation.
Germany has announced it
will stop arms sales,
while Britain, France
and Germany issued a
joint statement asking
for an “urgent…
clarification of exactly
what happened Oct 2”.
President Donald Trump
has swung between saying
he is unhappy with the
Saudi investigation but
also that he does not
want to jeopardise US
arms sales to the
country.
Skype call
To stem the fallout of
the Khashoggi killing,
the crown prince,
commonly known by his
initials MbS, allowed
Qahtani to take the
fall, according to one
source close to the
Saudi royal court.
A second senior Saudi
official said Qahtani
had been detained
following his sacking by
royal decree, but he
continued to tweet
afterwards. The sources
with links to the royal
court said he was not
believed to be under
arrest.
In the Khashoggi
killing, Qahtani was
present as he has been
in other key moments of
MbS’s administration.
This time, though, his
presence was virtual.

Saudi journalist often

walked into the Istanbul

The Arab source and the
Turkish intelligence
source said the audio of
the Skype call is now in
the possession of
Turkish President Tayyip
Erdogan (photo).
The sources say he is
refusing to release it
to the Americans.
Erdogan said on Sunday
he would release
information about the
Turkish investigation
during a weekly speech
today. Three Turkish
officials reached by
Reuters
declined to comment
ahead of that speech.
The senior Saudi
official who laid out
the official version of
events – that Khashoggi
had got into a fight –
said he had not heard
about Qahtani appearing
via Skype, but that the
Saudi investigation was
ongoing.
Qahtani’s rise
Qahtani, 40, has earned
a reputation at home as
both a violent enforcer
of princely whims and as
a strident nationalist.
In blogs and on social
media, some liberal
Saudi journalists and
activists dubbed him the
Saudi Steve Bannon for
his aggressive
manipulation of the news
media and
behind-the-scenes
strategising.
Qahtani wrote odes on
Twitter to the royal
family under the pen
name Dari, which means
predator in Arabic. Some
of his opponents on
social media call him
Dalim, a figure in
Arabic folklore who rose
from being a lowly
servant to much greater
heights.
According to his
biography on his Twitter
account, Qahtani studied
law and made the rank of
captain in the Saudi Air
Force. After launching a
blog, he caught the eye
of Khaled al-Tuwaijri,
the former head of the
royal court, who hired
him in the early 2000s
to run an electronic
media army tasked with
protecting Saudi
Arabia’s image,
according to a source
with ties to the royal
court.
Tuwaijri is under house
arrest and could not be
reached for comment.
Qahtani rose to further
prominence after
latching onto Prince
Mohammed, who was part
of his father Salman’s
court as Riyadh
governor, then crown
prince and finally king
in 2015.
Tasked with countering
alleged Qatari influence
on social media, Qahtani
used Twitter to attack
criticism of the kingdom
in general and Prince
Mohammed in particular.
He also ran a WhatsApp
group with local
newspaper editors and
prominent journalists,
dictating the royal
court’s line.
When Riyadh led an
economic boycott against
Qatar in June 2017,
Qahtani ramped up his
attacks on the small
Gulf state. Online, he
urged Saudis to tweet
the names of anyone
showing sympathy with
Qatar under the Arabic
hashtag “The Black
List”.
The high-ranking Arab
official and Saudi
sources with ties to the
royal court said Qahtani
was MbS’s “bad cop” late
last year when 200
people, including Saudi
princes, ministers and
business tycoons, were
detained and put under
house arrest at the Ritz
Carlton in an
anti-corruption sweep.
Qahtani oversaw some of
the interrogations, the
Arab official said.
The kidnapping of Hariri
The extent of Qahtani’s
power is perhaps best
illustrated by the
kidnapping of Lebanese
Prime Minister Saad
al-Hariri last year,
several of the Saudi and
Arab diplomatic sources
said.
The Saudis were incensed
at the inability of
Hariri, a Sunni Muslim
and a Saudi client, to
stand up to their
regional rival Iran and
Hezbollah, the Shi’ite
paramilitary movement
that acts as Tehran’s
spearhead in the region.
Hariri belonged to the
same multi-party
coalition government as
Hezbollah.
The Saudis were
particularly dismayed
that Hariri had failed
to deliver a message to
a top adviser to Iranian
Supreme Leader Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei, to stop
interfering in Lebanon
and Yemen. Hariri
claimed he had delivered
the Saudi message, but
an informer, planted by
Qahtani in Hariri’s
circle, gave the Saudis
the minutes of the
meeting which showed
that he had not done so.
The Saudis lured Hariri
(photo)
to Riyadh for a meeting
with MbS. Upon his
arrival on Nov 3, 2017,
there was no line-up of
Saudi princes or
officials, as would
typically greet a prime
minister on an official
visit. Hariri later
received a call that the
meeting with the crown
prince would take place
the next day at a royal
compound.
When Hariri arrived, he
was ushered into a room
where Qahtani was
waiting for him with a
security team, according
to three Arab sources
familiar with the
incident. The security
team beat Hariri;
Qahtani cursed at him
and then forced him to
resign as prime minister
in a statement that was
broadcast by a
Saudi-owned TV channel.
“He (Qahtani) told him
you have no choice but
to resign and read this
statement,” said one of
the sources. “Qahtani
oversaw the
interrogation and
ill-treatment of
Hariri.”
Another source said it
was the intervention of
French President
Emmanuel Macron that
secured Hariri’s release
following an
international outcry.
Macron claimed credit in
May for ending the
crisis, saying an
unscheduled stopover in
Riyadh to convince MbS,
followed by an
invitation to Hariri to
come to France, had been
the catalyst to
resolving it. Lebanese
officials confirmed to
Reuters
that Macron’s quick
intervention secured
Hariri’s return.
Saudi officials could
not be reached for
comment about the
sequence of events or
Qahtani’s involvement.
French officials
declined to comment when
asked about Qahtani’s
role.
An offer to return home
At
least three friends of
Khashoggi told
Reuters
that in the months after
the journalist moved to
Washington a year ago,
he received multiple
phone calls from MbS’s
right-hand man urging
him to return to Saudi
Arabia. Khashoggi had
balked, they said,
fearing reprisals for
his
Washington Post
columns and outspoken
views.
Qahtani had tried to
reassure the former
newspaper editor that he
was still well respected
and had offered the
journalist a job as a
consultant at the royal
court, the friends said.
Khashoggi said that
while he found Qahtani
gentle and polite during
those conversations, he
did not trust him, one
close friend told
Reuters.
“Jamal told me
afterwards, ‘He thinks
that I will go back so
that he can throw me in
jail?’”
The second senior Saudi
official confirmed that
Qahtani had spoken to
Khashoggi about
returning home. The
ambush in Istanbul seems
to have been another way
to get him home.
How much did the crown
prince know about his
trusted aide’s plan to
abduct Khashoggi?
Most of the 15 hit-man
team identified by
Turkish and Saudi
authorities worked for
the kingdom’s security
and intelligence
services, military,
government ministries,
royal court security and
air force.
One of them, General
Maher Mutreb, a senior
intelligence officer who
is part of the security
team of Prince Mohammed,
appeared in photographs
with him on official
visits earlier this year
to the United States and
Europe.
The high-ranking Arab
official and the Turkish
intelligence source said
it was Mutreb’s phone
that was used to dial in
Qahtani while Khashoggi
was being interrogated.
Reuters
tried to contact members
of 15-man team but their
phones were either
switched off, on
voicemail or no longer
in service.
The Saudi official said
Deputy Intelligence
Chief General Ahmed al-Asiri
(photo)
put together the 15-man
squad from the
intelligence and
security forces. Asiri
was one of the five
officials dismissed last
Saturday.
Another key figure was
Dr Salah al-Tubaigy, a
forensic expert
specialised in autopsies
attached to the Saudi
Ministry of Interior.
His presence – equipped
with a bone-saw, which
Turkish sources say was
used to dismember the
journalist – is hard to
explain in an operation
Saudi officials now say
was aimed at persuading
Khashoggi to return
home.
It is hard to imagine
that the crown prince
could have not known
about such a delicate
operation, the Saudi
sources with ties to the
royal court say.
The Saudi official who
spoke last Saturday said
an existing standing
order provided
authorisation to
“negotiate” with
dissidents to return
home without requiring
approval, but that the
team involved with
Khashoggi exceeded that
authorisation.
Another Saudi official
close to the
investigation said that
Qahtani decided on his
own to organise
Khashoggi’s kidnapping
and that he asked Asiri
to get a team together,
but that their plans had
gone wrong.
Qahtani’s final act may
be to serve his boss by
assuming the
responsibility for the
crisis that has hit
Saudi Arabia since
Khashoggi’s murder. The
Saudi king has sacked
Qahtani and ordered a
restructuring of the
general intelligence
agency.
To head it, he named MbS.

The
Arabs are capable of
doing anything they wish
to do. Knowing them
Najib Razak saw this as
an opportunity to save
him from the crime of
theft. He sent the
military to Saudi Arabia
under the pretext of
protecting the
Malaysians. It was in
fact 'I scratch your
back and you scratch
mine' exchanged
strategy, the favourite
phrase of the ex-Prime
Minister.
If
Saudi Arabia is so rich
enough to be able to
donate to Najib, the
Kingdom should have help
the suffering
Palestinians without the
need of aids from other
normal Malaysians and
even our MERCY.
Remember
they do not only kill
Khashoggi, they also
bombed the Yemenis.

WHEN
WE HAVE THE CHANCE
When we have the chance we
seldom take the opportunity
to seize it, to do the good
and honourable things. Then
we hope to go back in time
to redo what we have not
done. At times my cheeks
were soaked with tears while
I was praying remembering my
mother and my wife, that I
had not done well enough to
take care of them. Only my
belief that I will meet them
again soon in the next world
that keeps my hope alive.
By human design, basically,
people are divided into two
categories, the ruling class
and the working class. Both
have the chance to serve the
society in many ways. The
working men laboured
themselves to grow food,
erect infrastructures,
reaping products of sea and
land, protect the masses,
distributed the goods and
services and to provide
health care. The ruling
class plan, created multiple
path for human's welfare and
prosperity and to take good
care of the populace.
There are guide books for
them to follow, given by God
and written by humans.
BUT some swayed from the
path to give sole priority
to their lust and greed.
They become adamant and
arrogant. They squeeze the
people and suck their blood.
They forgot that God, forgot
that they are getting old
and tired each day. They
forgot that they might
slipped and fall. In agony
they seek God's help. Many a
time things were too late
for them to repent for much
damage had been done.
When they have the chance to
serve the community, they
don't.
While we have the chance,
let is be honest, fair,
sincere and be good to all.
Yes money is important but
it does not guarantee
happiness. |

KOREA TRIP
(14 Oct. - 16 Oct. 2018)
The package name was Korea
Trip 13th - 18th October. To
me it was a deliberate
attempt to mislead the
people as the RM15.99 or the
RM888.88 stuffs. We departed
Kuala Lumpur on the 13th,
arriving Korea on the 14th.
Later we departed for home
and left our hotel at 6 am
on the 17th. 2018. I
wouldn't count those two as
visiting days.
I woke up at 4 am on the
departure date to make sure
I won't miss the domestic
flight KLIA.
I was too lazy to count the
numbers but we were told
that there were 30
participants. There were two
beautiful non-Malay Ladies,
Eunice and Prem. Our tour
leader from Malaysia
was Norainsyakiaty whom I
addressed her AEN.
Our
Tour Leader From Malaysia
AEN
There were three families, a
few couples ( husband and
wife and friend ) and me, a
lone ranger. I figure I was
the oldest. I thought I was
not fit to any of the group
members except one who was a
countryman of mine living in
Sarawak after being charmed
by a Sarawak beauty.
This is the first tour
leader whom I would describe
as fantastic, studying from
her early communication and
interactions with the
clients. POTO had never have
one like this for I had been
travelling with POTO to more
than 5 countries.
When we arrived South Korea,
we had had a hectic time. I
had no sleep on the plane,
tired and worn out. Yet the
tour had already begun. The
first was the Seaweed place
where we were briefed about
the foodstuffs. We were
thought how to make
foodstuff. Then participants
were given opportunity to
don the traditional dress.
After the Seaweed place we
went to the museum. Sigh ! I
am not going to narrate
things anymore. let me print
a few pictures for they
speak louder than words.
The hotels we stayed in were
between 2 to 3 stars. there
weren't tooth brush and
tooth paste. What to
complaint as this was
suppose to be the cheap
Korean trip though I had to
pay RM1300 for a single
supplement.
The second day was to the
main attraction, Nami island
via several stoppages like
the Sapphire and Ginseng
shops. Whether there were
Ginseng or any other herbal
shops in Asia the sales
agents who attended us were
very fluent in Indonesian or
Malay language. They were so
glib in talking that you
would feel you could die the
soonest if you were to
ignore their products. The
products were not cheap. The
average was RM1K.
Nami
island is a beautiful place.
There are too many pictures
to publish, beyond the space
to accommodate all of them.
There were thousands of
visitors daily. I can't
figure out how much does the
authority collects each day.
My friend told me that his
group were taken to
riverside sea-food
restaurants where can choose
live fish, lobsters and
other sea living things to
to cook. Our tour did not
take us there, not even to
Jeju island either nor any
of the theme park.
SEOUL CITY TOUR - Seoul city
tour was an optional tour,
paid together with a theme
park visit, and it was
quoted in USD. The average
cost was USD100. For a
couple it would be USD200.
There were a family of 4 to
5. It would come to about
RM1K on the average.
There are three routes you
can choose for the Seoul
City Tour which is about
18000 Won. You can hop in
and hop out. It is a day
ticket, from 8 am to 6 pm.
The picture on the left is
the bust stop where you have
to wait. I paid the driver
when hopping on the bus.
In Seoul the roads are wide.
There are 5 lanes on each
way. Adding all the lanes on
a road there are 10 lanes
altogether.
I think I want to stop here.
The brief explanation here
would give you some insight
of what is inside South
Korea.
Communication is a little
hard unless we learn the
basic Korean from the
internet. Only a few could
speak English. Our Korean
tour leader speaks Korean
English. A Korean friend in
my Statistical Research
class in Ohio spoke with an
American slang. It would
save visitors from
much hassle if they were to
spend a little time before
making a trip to Korea. |

PROMISES
Ask yourself whether you
have even made promises to
yourself, your wife and
kids, friends and other
people, and finally to God.
It was only yesterday that
my friend promised to come
and pick me up at 6 pm to go
for s dinner with her
family. I changed my
exercise time from 5 pm to 4
pm. When I came home I found
she had to break her promise
as she was strike with a
sudden fever. It was a
genuine case and I hade to
excuse her.
Sadly enough there was a man
who cried foul over a broken
promise no matter whether
the person is sick or had
had some urgent thing to
attend to.
But I am sure everyone of us
did broke a promise made
owing to unavoidable
circumstances. More so we
promised to God that we will
be a good man for the rest
of our lives but we never
fulfilled all of our
promises. We hurt fellow
human being. We yell and
cursed at fellow mankind and
to degrade them to the
lowest possible. We brag and
thump our chest to show our
prowess.
Simply, we broke our
promises to God.
Whatever we must strive to
fulfil our promises as best
as we can. I promised to
lend ,y friend RM50K but I
had to break my promises
since I could not come up
with the amount and I needed
to use the money for
something else. I felt so
sad and very sorry bout it.
I asked the Tomato rice
seller to bring his children
from India and I will be
taking them to Langkawi. He
will bring them next month
and I hope I can fulfil the
simple promise or else I
will break their hearts.
When we can afford to honour
our promises and they are
within our mean, then it is
wise for us to make them
happen.
Let me tell you a story a
broken promised that I made
to another friend who
lamented that his car broke
down and had to be in a
workshop for about a week. I
said I have two cars and
willing to lend one for him.
Two days before the delivery
date I asked him to use the
car to send me to the
airport in the morning. Then
he could take the car with
him. he replied he could not
do that because he was busy.
Good or bad of me, I decided
to cancel my lending the car
to him. i took a taxi to the
airport.
Sometimes we broke our
promises over a certain
unexpected cases without any
deliberate intention.
I still remember a phrase
'if you want to know a
person hear what he says
about other people'. |

NORHIDAYAH
AND HER DAUGHTER
The Chief Minister of
Selangor is trying to be a
hero defending Zahid
Hamidi's family from public
attacks. In the first place
he must asked Norhidayah not
to use his 9 year old
daughter in the battle
against the public. Did the
Minister request Hidayah to
erase the uploaded video ?
Norhidayah had come to the
limelight years even before
BN lost the election. She
had a faulty mouth denying
that she was not rich enough
to pay for the car she
bought while his father who
donned very expensive
watches claimed he was a
corporate man and had the
mean to buy anything costly.
She also said demonstration
was a waste of time and
useless, which she later
organized one herself.
Why should she used her
daughter to fight for her
father who had asked fellow
Malaysians to leave this
country if they did not like
to stay here ? She simply
loved to invite nasty
response. Similarly, Najib]s
daughter did the same by
bringing her daughter in the
fore.
Only if Hidayah cared to
know the minds of the people
about her father. They
called him a gangster.
People see the father and
the daughter are both
arrogant Javanese. The anger
was so intense, it lead to
one person to say 'the
smelly cibai produce a dirty
offspring...' Of course her
daughter is innocent and
nothing wrong with her cibai
too. If she had learn
history, she would have been
more careful in provoking
the public.
Zabhid Hamidi's case pull
the interest in the public.
People began to investigate
Yayasan Akar Budi by
themselves. And they will
investigate more and deeper
on his pecuniary
procurement. And he tio
himself he has a team of
lawyers to defend him. Why
do Norhidayah needs her
daughter to defend Zahid ?
It is a shame to be called
by despicable names. |

MINISTERS
ARE TO SERVE THE PUBLIC
Ministers are to serve the
public, not themselves. But
without shame and guilt the
proclaimed that they
are running businesses and
become chairmen of 100
companies. They make use of
the Ministerial post to
enrich themselves thereby
enabled them to hide any
corruption activities behind
their wealth.
Millions of voters remain
poor after voting the so
called leaders. They used
money and rhetoric to fish
support from the gullible.
Let me say what I think of
the education Minister as an
example. I do not say that
he is making money out of
his position but to my
assessment he is one of the
worst among all the new
Ministers. The most pressing
issue he must look into is
the educational policy, not
talking about the black
shoes. He has to look at the
economy of the country and
know where we are heading
to. Students are the future
workforce. And he must
prepare them for the future.
He must know the state of
our social environment, of
the state of the crimes,
drug addictions, thefts and
other woes. What cause them
and the ages of those who
are causing social
turbulence. It is not about
the black shoes.
His failure made me wonder
the value and validity of
his PHD.
Serving the people means to
serve the majority not the
minority. It is not to serve
himself.
We the public have eyes to
see and mind to think. We
didn't ask the Ministers to
follow us but we need them
to serve us. |

TAXI DRIVERS ARE BLOOD
SUCKERS
I am sorry to generalize
taxi drivers as
irresponsible blood suckers.
I have not met even one good
driver. Two knocked my car
and refused to pay the
damaged. They charged
exorbitant price to the
customers. My two workers
were charged RM35 each from Sahab Perdana to their homes
on the same route which were
about 5 miles in total
distant. They refused to use
the meters or to transport
customers through a
certain route. Many still
remember the taxis in Kuala
Lumpur went on strike.
As I have mentioned many
time, that people who do not
know how to thank God for
giving them sustenance, do
not ever think what
Barakah is. No
ill-gotten money would bring
Barakah too. They will never
be satisfied with their
lives, with money in their
pockets. I know of a few
Indonesian maids who stole
things and money, were
living in misery, falling
sick and died, parents and
husbands passed away.
As they were showing their
arrogance and hooliganism,
people showed no pity on
them but to curse and tried
to avoid them. God gives God
takes.
If Tun allows the Tuk-Tuk
the customers will be
extremely happy. We need
cheap transport to the
railway station and the
airport. It is not available
here. London, Bangkok, Tokyo
and name it there are
efficient transportation
system for travellers by
air. In Kuala Lumpur I would
take a bus from KL Central
to KLIA or KLIA2 for only
RM10.
It is high time for the
people in Langkawi to work
for alternative transport
like the tuk-tuk instead of
the taxis. Let them pay for
their arrogance.
To make sure tourists will
not be cut throat, we can
always introduce hop-in and
hop-out bus. In Seoul I paid
1800 Won for the City-Tour
hop-in and hop-out. I don't
remember how much I paid in
Spain. Taxi drivers can opt
for some other jobs. There
are thousands of other
youths are without job. Why
should the taxis monopolize
the right to live only to
themselves.
We have had enough with the
gangster taxi drivers who
love to cut throat. They are
as bad as the politicians.
I remember paying only USD5
from Hollywood MGM area to
the airport about 50 years
ago.
Taxi drivers can strike
again if they wish. We can
always encourage alternative
transportations. |
|
THEY FORGOT GOD I
am not a pious man. I believe in
science, technology,
mathematics and God. I
believe in the life
thereafter, heaven and hell.
I always feel that God is
with me, giving me an
abundance of sustenance and
providence.
I don't know how much sins
that I have made. But I am
glad that never in my life I
have intention of causing
hardship to other people,
telling lies or cheating for
anybody's benefit. That does
not mean the non-believers
are bad people. Having
conscience and morality
could hinder a person from
vices and committing crimes.
Try to figure out of a man
who steal a huge sum of
money and has the heart to
murder anyone who across the
crime. If he
fears the future
consequences, the comeuppance,
God's retribution and his home in
hell, he wouldn't have
stolen and enrich himself.
Didn't he remember that he
won't live forever and
each day passed like a
second away ? Did he think he would be
pardoned by God, just by
using the loot to send people for
pilgrimage and built a few
mosques or holly places with
the ill-goten money ?
If anyone remembers God and
fear of the great
retribution he will not
steal and lie, and attempt
to cheat and bribe God. He
will only seek the divine's
help when he is caught and
charged. How do we know
Najib lied ? He did not
answer of the 2.6 billion
when asked but took a few
months to come up with the
donation story. He took
severe actions on those who
queried him about the money.
He would have never sacked
Ghani Patail nor we would
not have heard of Kevin
Morais was murdered. He took
years to publish a document
of the ill-gotten money, in
which I am very sure was
just recently made and
planted. I also believe the
Arabs were as crooked as he
is.
And the story of Yayasan
Akar Budi is more
intriguing. There was no
building as stated in the
address registered,
documents on financial
statement and transaction.
More stories will come out
for us to know how sneaky
Zahid Hamidi is.
People want to see the
criminals who used God as
their shield rot in jail
with horns grow on their
foreheads. They have done
much damage to Islam. They
have been using religion to
secure themselves. The
shameless lots can still
walk throughout the globe
parading their naked sins
even after being called
CROOK and the kleptocrat.
Let us ask the Islamic Party
PAS the penalty for lying,
stealing, cheating and
corroborating with
criminals. And let us Hadi
Awang how the Prophet
Mohammad looks like. |

HORRID THOUGHT OF
COMING BACK HAMMING
In a month's time,
I really don't know what
will happen when I decide to
come back on the ham band
with 9M2RB on the old
frequency. We were on 7.043
Mhz for many years chatting
away day and night. I used
the same frequency to work
on Morse codes.
As a traditional ham
operator I feel comfortable
with the old style of
communication procedure and
the terms used. We would
mention our call signs for
every over. It is torturous
to hear stations that simply
pass the transmission back
and forth. I would not say
it wrong to follow the new
style of communication. But
I don't feel comfortable and
would not welcome those with
their own methods and lingo.
What if the hams who are
adamant with their own style
insist on breaking in ? They
may argue theirs are the
right ones. Still it is not
comfortable for us and they
can't force us to agree with
them. After all they have
more than 20000 people to
comfort them.
As far as I am concerned the
smart amateur operators are
not fit to be in the
inferior operators. Many of
us were told that the way
and the SOP we practised
were wrong. Many old hams
ceased to be on the air,
running away from such a
confrontation.
It is not that we are
rejecting the new fellows.
We are just not fit for them
for our standards are much
lower. We wish that they
have some form of morality
as not to disturb us when we
are on the air. In the old
days when Jabatan Telekom
was in charge we were not
scared of any rogue people
coming to disturb us because
in no time they will be
arrested. MCMC is a
different specie altogether.
20 meter is a skip band 90%
of the time. I don't
remember working stations in
Johor during the night time.
The 9W who fought hard for
40 meter instead of 20 and
15 was 9W2TZ for the reason
he wanted to speak to the
old 9M stations like the old
days. Instead one by one
chose to leave the band,
giving all sort of excuses.
He supplied a 40 meter
antenna to those without
them. He lent a rig to 9M2FX
to raise the later on the
band. The glorious days will
never resurrect.
The reason why I want to
come back with Rusli is that
we have a lot to talk over
travelling matters. We are
to discuss Taiwan trip after
his journey to Moscow via
China using the Trans
Siberian Railway. It is not
to find kick to be on the
radio. i would prefer
Morse to look for
fulfilment.
New amateurs who are willing
to adapt to our world and
polite enough to respect our
lingo may join us. I never
welcome too smart people,
trying to preach us what's
right and wrong, and to show
of their prowess.
Indonesians loved to break
our conversation and talked
something else. So much so
we forget our topic of
discussion. That was
something that we never did
when they were having a deep
conversation, unless we have
something to contribute to
the topic. |

SAUDI ARABIA
CREDIBILITY
From the beginning I said
that Saudi Arabia is not a
country to be trusted and
pointed out that the Islamic
value she practises is far
below the non-Islamic
country. It is not only a
complicit to Najib's crime
but it also committed crime
by murdering it's critic. It
has been denying of the
crime for days. As usual the
King will blame his officer
for the dreaded killing.
Now the Kingdom is
formulating lies to save
Najib. It is a country
without credibility. She
loves in bombing and killing
the innocent people, just
because of their beliefs. It
was the Saudis who convinced
Hillary Clinton that Anwar
Ibrahim was a terrorist.
The Palestinians accused the
Arab Kings originated from a
Jew sect. And they are the
Jews who collected money
from the Muslim's pilgrimage
to kill the Palestinians. Of
course we cannot believe the
story completely. We need to
thoroughly investigate the
history of the Kingdom.
Corroborating with criminal
is a sin. The Kingdom should
realize the severity of
God's wrath.
I was in Las Vegas Nevada
and saw Arabs gambled with
their National costumes
instead of donning the
Western dress. I was not
surprise at all as I know in
Bangkok there are streets
named after them, signalling
the number of Arab visitors
in a city where
prostitutions were rife.
The vices of the Arabs even
extend to pornography.
Sexual contents and Arab
prostitutes has begun to
fill the websites.
Now they invent the story on
Khashoggi's death due to a
brawl in the consulate. They
learn much from Najib Razak
on how to lie. And Najib
waited for almost three
years to come up with a
perfect lie, forgetting the
time frame as a prime
witness. DOJ does not
believe the Arab one bit.
Sooner or later her close
ally, USA, will call her a
crook. |

LOFTY AND GREEDY
Some Malay food vendors are
lofty and greedy. The quest
for excessive profiteering
would at least repel me
away. The food can be
delicious but I won't want
to return to the stall or
their restaurants again.
There are cheap stalls
around with a meal costing
at most RM4.50 a plate, with
a few types of morsels.
There is a vendor that
charged me only RM3.50
a plate with two small
mackerels and vegetables.
The most expensive Malay
food shop is at Pumpong Alor
Setar where there is always
a big rush. It provides a
Kampong taste. But I never
like the haughty male owner
who once disputed the price
his wife charged me. I told
him that I did not cheat.
But his wife wrote it. It
was not cheap either. It has
been almost a year that I
stopped going to the place
again.
Many Malays want to get rich
quickly, simply hiking up
their food twice or thrice a
year without any reason. I
am patient enough to look at
alternatives and found that
there are many outlets that
sell tasty food at a very
reasonable price. The Mamak
shop which I considered as
more expensive than most of
the Malay vendors, are still
selling at the old price,
making it one of the
cheapest today. A meal with
meat is RM4.50 and with fish
at RM5.50. That includes
drink and vegetables.
I always pay more than the
price to the unscrupulous
vendors usually by 50
or 80 cents. What is RM5 to
a very delicious meal that
costs RM4.20. Once I forget
to bring my purse and they
called it free. However I
paid them back a few minutes
later.
Reading through web pages I
found there were a lot of
complaints over the Online
shop. I got cheated several
times, mostly on goods sold
by China. I would like to
advise you to avoid Lazada
and the FaceBook vendors.
The lofty and greedy vendors
are bound to face
competition. Sooner or later
they will close shop. Ten
they will start to throw the
blames on other people. |
|
OF DATUKSHIPS
A friend of mine was awarded
a title Datuk and never used
it till today. Nobody knows
about it. And I got an AMN
about 30 years ago and I did
not inform anyone too. And
most of you never know that
Encik Mohd Khir Johari, an
education Minister during
the era of Tengku Abdul
Rahman obliged not to
receive any of the title at
all.
Today we hear of rogue Datuk,
with bad demeanour. How on
earth were the Datukships
awarded to them at their
young age ? What were their
contribution ? Even a drug
addict was awarded with the
title.
There seem to be the lost of
moral value among the people
in our society. We fail to
recognize between the good
and the bad, the honourable
values and the stinking
elements.
The value of the Datukships
went down the drain as the
holders became criminals,
thieves and liars. It made
some people lost respects to
the title and try to avoid
receiving any of them.
Otrhers see it as valueless,
as it does not accompany us
when we step in into the
eternal world. God does not
accept it as coupon to
redeem for our sins.
Like Khir Johari DAP is
considering to decline the
offer by any state in our
territory. It is nothing
strange. Even Dr Mahathir
had returned them to the
palace. When the Sultan of
Kelantan stripped Dr
Mahathir of the title given
to him, it immediately
became a joke and such a
practice has become a
mockery.
One characteristic that
features a value of
something is it's rareness,
and a high degree of
difficulty in acquiring it.
It could not be bought with
money, like the self-respect
and an honour of a person.
Opening it like a free
market makes it just like a
Kacang Puteh.
No tinted man should be a
recipient like a hooligan or
a drug addict or a past
criminal. He must also
serves this country beyond
his remuneration value,
praiseworthy in his
community work without
pecuniary return, and doing
all in good faith and
sincerity, a likeable by all
in manners and behaviours.
Most of us are aware of
ourselves. We are not
qualified to receive any
title. My body is not clean
enough to don any of such
title. |

OF ZAHID HAMIDI
In UMNO there are liars and
despicable people worst than
the Satan. Esmee Mat Isa,
Jamal Yunoss, Lokman Adam,
Noh Omar and all other UMNO
gangsters. They can lie
through their teeth. I judge
Zahid through his
countenance blazoned by the
media in his speech, body
movement and facial
expression. Just playback
all of his videos, his
actions during the GE14
campaign.
Once there was a furore over
his letter to the United
States government trying to
help a wanted gangster and a
criminal. Then there were
shouts about his brother
collecting levies on the
foreign workers amounting to
millions. There were rumours
his family keeping billions
of cash. I remember well
when he called the Malays to
continue to support UMNO as
he has a lot of cash to
spend. And about his using
the word PUKI MAK to scold
the youth who blamed Najib
for the downfall.
A person can be arrogant
when he thinks he is so very
powerful, or wealthy or
smarter than the rest. Zahid
has all the three.
I have to admit that I do
not know on what topic the
MACC quizzed Zahid Hamidi.
If it was about the
misappropriation of funds
belonging to the Yayasan
Budi foundation set up by
his family, it would have
been short. The first time
he met the MACC he had
explained the error made by
his staff and the money had
been replaced. The fact that
the interview took a long
many hours meant the MACC
wanted to know more about
other things too.
This paragraph was typed
a few hours later .
I was right that Zahid was
grilled on other matters to.
There were 45 charges
against him, mostly during
his tenure as the Home
Minister. Below were the
charges against him
Criminal breach of trust

It is up to you to judge
whether the charges were all
fake aimed at victimizing
Zahid. But I am sure even
his supporters were not
aware of the amount of money
that went into his pocket.
Religion and race are always
used as their shields to
hide their criminal
activities. Remember what he
said about the reason why he
was investigated ? "What's
wrong with me for building
the Tahfiz class and
pupils could recite the
Holly Koran ?" And his wife
lamenting on the Malays
destroying among themselves.
Now on Zahid's side, they
are sure to work hard to
seek the help of the givers
to deny giving money to the
ex-Minister. The next thing
I can think of is another
donation story. Djo Lo
played the donation theme
also but the US court
rejected the excuse
outright. Too many similar
story will make it stale.
Within UMNO too there are
people who see Zahid as very
arrogant, corrupt and
ambitious too. Or else there
would be waves of supporters
at the solidarity gathering.
Soon the 200 souls who came
out will begin to learn how
honest Zahid Hamidi is. |

OUR
FATE
Both Islam and
Christianity have
been discussing
Predestination for
decades.
Predestination is
equivalent to Qa.a
dan Qadar. Whatever
happens and done by
mankind were all
written during the
time he was born
till his death.
Using a sheer logic
the debate went on
till today.
But many says that
It was mankind who
carve their own
destiny. He asks for
it and he will get
it. But people are
rebutted the concept
saying that men
never ask to fall
sick and be in
misery.
They pray to God to
save them from
disasters,
calamities and
poverty. Yet bad
things always strike
them.
It is at this
juncture that a
person's faith is
tested. It is the
critical time for
him to believe or
not in God.
Some say that
good or bad brings
benefit to someone, a
society, a country
or the world. Wars
and calamities
reduced the
population of the
earth. Fewer souls
kill competition. There is a
silver lining in the
dark clouds. Even
death would take our
worries and torments
away.
As far as I am
concerned I believe
that
it is fate that put
me in my present
place and condition.
I never knew that
God will give me
providence of a
great abundance,
beyond my
expectation. I was
given solutions to
the problems I had
been thinking,
something that was
nowhere.
Good life is not
solely wealth and
money. Happiness and
satisfaction can
come from anywhere,
even of thinking of
God alone. A
vagabond sleeps
soundly after having
a free meal
somewhere.
Try to be good,
honest, sincere and
fair while we have
the air to breath,
the sun to see. Try
not to make others
suffer by enriching
ourselves.

DEAR
NAJIB
I see you are
capitalising your
court freedom to
defend yourself
through media
interview and your
Face book. You
pretended to be
shocked for your
defeat in the GE14.
insinuating PH were
telling lies about
you. Am I wrong ?
You have all the
machinery on you,
your Cyber-troopers.
And you yourself
have heard of all the
accusation thrown on
you. Why didn't you
defend yourself then
? You denied having
the 2.6 billion
account thrown on
you in the first
place. You wanted to
sue the WSJ but you
did not. You take
several months to
come up with the
donation story after
several shuttle
trips to
Saudi Arabia.
Are those not strong
enough for people to
say you were lying ?
You should have
declared that it was
a YES that
you have the money
in your bank
donated to you
personally. That was
the defence you
could ever have. And
probably you may be
still be a Prime
Minister. That was
the best time frame
you could have
cleared yourself,
rather than kicking
your deputy out for
asking you about
it.
Those were the time
when you should not
hide the truth of
1Mdb. You made the
report unavailable
and transferred your
officers and Push
Ghani Patail out.And
that was the time
when Kevin Morais
was killed.
I do not say it was
you who put him in
the drum and
cemented him. I just
say he was murdered
at the same time
when Ghani Patail
was sacked.
Before GE14 you did
not publish the
letter purported
from Saudi Prince.
We the voters
remember you denied
knowing Jho Lo. Why
? Was it a national
secret ? You twisted
and turned when
pictures of you were
blazoned in
the media on the
yacht.
So don't pretend you
did nothing wrong
and was taken aback
when you were thrown
out. Of
course you were
surprise because you
thought the money by
the millions given
to voters would
ensure of your
victory.
You believe very
much that cash is
KING.
You wife told the
Malaysian citizens
that she kept her
savings from the
young age to buy the
million dollar
jewelries. You pay
people to write
books on her and
everyone you can
hold to. You pay
people to change
documents for
disinformation
purposes. Oh, we
know that.
Don't pretend that
you don't know the
reason why you lost
the battle.
Now you are free by
the judge. You are
extremely lucky. It
gives you time to
manufacture stories
to defend yourself
which you had not
done before because
there were none then. You
took a few months to
come up with a
simple answer.
You see, when you
lie or asking people
to lie for you, it
is not the end of
everything. It is up
to the people who
listen to you to
believe you. Some
may believe your
lies but the
majority do not. I don't. One day you
said you did not
know Saiful, the
next day you
admitted, when you
were cornered with proofs of you
meeting him. One day
you said you have
cash in BSI
Singapore, the next
day you said they
were in units.
I will write more
about you later as
now it is already
3.00 am in the
morning. I have just
read about your
interview with a
media to defend
yourself. I can't
stand to hear your
lies.
I know you have
hijacked our money
by the billions
before the new
government took
over. To justify
your action and to
satisfy your
conscience you
termed it as the
distribution of
wealth. I know the
Satan is bad but I
never expect you
could be worst than
than the Satan. I am
72 now, not a
politician, tired
and sick. There is
no way that I could
teach you a lesson.
It is too remote for
God to make me able
to punish a man like
you. I won't kill
you but I will
torture you every
minute of the day
until I get back the
money you have
absconded.
You know, I have
read your mind. You
may wonder how could
I do that. But
listen to me what I
am going to say what
I see. You
instructed your
henchmen to hijack
the money because
you want the new
government to find
their own fund to
run the country. You
think the national
coffer under BN's
government belongs
to the old
government.
That is wrong Najib
because the money
does not belong to
BN. It belongs to
the people. You have
no pity whatsoever
on the rakyat. I
damn you.
I wish there are
many young people
out there who see
you as the greatest
criminal of the
century, a specie
hidden by God to be
worst than the
Satan. I hope and
pray they will
kidnap you and carry
you to an unknown
torture chamber and
make you suffer
perpetually.

THE
ORIGIN OF MALAYA
SULTANATE
Kings are suppose to
evolve from the
vomit of the dragon
and brought to
Malaya in a glass
box through the
deepest part of the
Seven Seas. Iskandar
Zulkurnain had been
the greatest and the
greats to bear the
generations of Kings
and Sultans. They
have the sovereign
power endowed upon
them by the God
Al-Mighty.
Decades later the
mythology
transformed into a
new shape, that
Kings are the
shadows of God in
the world, the
concept of
Khalifatullah, was
inculcated into the
minds of the laymen
in the country. They
are to have the
blood of the prophet
Mohammad. Those who
carry the DNA of the
Holly prophet are
given the title SYED.
They are on the top
portion of the
social ladder, below
the rulers.
When Najib declared
himself a Bugis and
he is the Warrior of
the Bugis race, it
surprised the
uninformed populace
like me. Then the
Sultan of Selangor
said he is a Bugis
too.
A few years ago
several of us went
to Makassar. The
local tour guide
took us to the Bugis
village where Najib
came from. And only
a few months ago we
made a tour to
Ternate. The tour
guide told us that
the Ruler of
Kelantan was around
the area too. At the
museum we visited
displayed
Selangor's Royalty
exibit.
Alas, only after the
age of 72 I know the
origin of Sultan
Kelantan and
Selangor . They are
from Celebes or
Sulawesi area. Would
I mind of their
origin and how they
made themselves into
Kings ? People do
not mind, as they
regard a King as a
symbol of peace and
unity, and believe a
King would bring
wealth, prosperity
and tranquillity.
In the modern days
no citizen perceive
Kings to possess the
divine power with
unseen eyes all over
the subjects.
They rejected the mornarchial absolute
right over them.
Once Kings from all
over the world could
killed and
decapitated
anybody's on their
own will
without being questioned
or challenged. When the
King of Johor hacked
his caddy boy to
death it became a
disturbing affair.
A King is not to
make enemies with
his subjects no
matter what. He has
to use his wisdom to
resolve critical and
personal issues. He
has to learn from
history about the
falling of Kings and
Dynasties, about the
rise of the
Republic, about the
bloodshed in Middle
East, and about
Norodom Sihanouk of
Cambodia.
We the rakyat never
knew that the Royal
Highness of Selangor
was a Bugis origin
until he declared to
the world. I
discovered the
Sultan of Kelantan
was from the
Sulawesi area just
by accident.
But
those are not the
issues. We still
need the Sultans and
the Agong as the
symbol of peace and
prosperity. We even
accept them as
Khalifatullah.
But we now mind the
origin of Najib and
Zahid Hamidi because
they mind the origin
of Dr Mahathir. They
showed their
arrogance as if they
are immortals and
most powerful on the
face of the earth.
Zahid is now known
as Diponegoro. He
admitted that he was
a Javanese.
To cool things down
it will take some time. Let
us replace the
unhealthy air in the
atmosphere. We don't
want to see the
vanishing
institution of
monarchy in 30 years
time. And we don't
want history books
to be written on the
trail of Malayan
Sultanates. Everyone
has to remember
not to make any
mistake, as it can
be too expensive to
mend them.

MYSTERY
OF DEMON
Since the age of 10,
I started not to
believe in ghost.
Take all the shamans
in the world, I do
not believe in
anyone of them. To
me the spiritual
world did not exist.
When people said
that Rosmah Mansor
had a strong sorcery
power I brushed them
aside.
No scientific man
would believe in the
mystery of magic,
sorcerers and ghost.
On the late
development of magic
show which were
sometimes called
illusion, reason and
rationality could
not explain and
comprehend the
phenomena of their
happenings. Then I
saw bizarre things
had been hitting the
country one after
the other as Rosmah
Mansor was
projecting herself
as the most powerful
lady in the country.
A lady told me that
when she was near
Najib's wife she
felt so scary.
Even after the fall
of her husband we
could see her
donning the red
color cloth on her
body.
To a certain extend
they were given a
very special
treatment where
other leaders had
never tasted when
accused of
committing crime.
They were still
treated as VIP.
But if there were
demons why can't
they be made
invisible and walked
out of the country
to escape
persecution ?
Is it not possible
that there were only
the lesser demons
with some specialize
skills were allowed
to co-operate with
mankind ? Or is not
true that demons
might find it hard to
possess rational men
with strong
principles ?
There may be
millions of other
elements hidden in
the universe that we
have not discovered yet
like the laws of
physics and
chemistry. Perhaps
spirits and demons
are part of these
elements.

DEAR RAFIZI RAMLEE
PH won the last GE14
was not because of
you but because of
us. When we casted
our votes we did not
think of you or
Anwar Ibrahim. We
wanted to throw
Najib and his
devilish wife out.
But we salute you
for your smartness
in running the
investigation on the
vices of UMNO
warlords.
Tell me that I am
wrong to say both of
you and Anwar
thought PH won
because of you and
PKR. Leave PKR alone
BN could never have
fallen. Though
BERSATU was small
and Mahathir was an
old man, Najib and
his machinery only
focussed their
attack on Tun
Mahathir and banned
his picture
everywhere in the
country.
Of course we cannot
give the credit to
Tun only. Till
today, tell us when
did you ever say
that PH won because
of the voters choice
and also when did
you ever say 'THANK
YOU' to us. You must
understand that you
are not the only
smartest person in
the nation. Among us
there are a lot of
wise, intelligent
and smart
personalities.
I would have wanted
you in a team with
Tony Phua and Lim
Guan Eng. But we
felt hurt when you
called the old man
'.....bulldozing...'
You think you are so
smart that you want
to be the strategist
for Anwar Ibrahim.
Your mind has slowly
changed towards
authoritarianism.
Time is still early
for you to wake up.
We scold you not
because we want you
to vanish but we
want you to think of
us as voters and
listen to us. We
don't care if you
are not in agreement
with Azmin. We can
always work out to
put you in
parliament, be a
lawmaker and a
Minister. Remember,
if we can put PH as
a government, we can
also throw it down
the drain.
It is not hard for
you to say the word
sorry. But it must
come your heart.
Then work hard to
recover back the
missing money. Tony
Phua had done it
well. He is not even
a Minister in the PH
government.
I fear very much
that PH would be a
single term party
because of you. You
should know that
Anwar could win
easily in PD without
much hassle. Now
there are complaints
even on a small
things done by
Anwar, not by the
opposition members
but by BERSIH.
Work like a young
man but think like
80.

THE HIGH PROFILE
MURDER
Whether there were
proofs or not people
will link Najib to
the murder of
Hussein Najadi,
Altantuya, PI, Bala
and Kevin Morais.
Najadi and Kevin
Morais pointed
towards 1Mdb 2.6
billion and the
charge sheet, PI
Bala and Altantuya
pointed to Najib's
relationship with
the Mongolian lady.
To Najib, as long as
it was not his hand
that pull the
trigger, he is not
guilty as charged.
The hands that throw
the bomb, the man
who gave away the
bomb to kill, the
man who nodded his
head when told the
murdered had been
carried out, are all
complicit to the
same crime. The day
when Kevin Morais
was reported dead I
made an immediate
conclusion that it
was done under Najib's
approval. It is
exactly identical to
an Atheist demanding
a believer to show
him God. Najib acts
exactly like the
Atheist from the
beginning when he
was accused of
stealing the money.
As a Loyar Buruk, I
am asking Najib
whether he is a
Muslim and whether
he believes in God.
"Mr Najib show me
your God. That will
be the concrete
proof the existence
of your God."
Is it not relevant
to the murder case ?
The situation is
identical in status.
Recently the judge
mentioned about 'the
sun rising in the
West' in delivering
the judgment. But no
one question the
judge what has the
sun to do with the
case.
Our haunch of
Najib's involvement
were not wrong.
Najib is lucky to be
in Malaysia. And he
has to thank Tun
Mahathir for not
encouraging the
public to raise as
what Lokman Adam and
Zahid Hamidi had
done. If the mob
were to run wild,
there will be
warlords who would
be losing the heads.
Even the lost money
could be discovered
back quickly.
Many believe in
Karma. It will come
to Najib sooner or
later. We will wait
and see.

THE CREDIBILITY OF
THE KINGDOM
Following the story
of 1Mdb closely from
the beginning and
how Najib uses the
Arab to influence
the US Secretary of
States, Hillary
Clinton, that Anwar
Ibrahim was a
terrorist, made me
lost respect of the
Saudis.
Later there were
gossips such as
In the 7th century,
the Banu Qaynuqa
were living in two
fortresses in the
south-western part
of the city of
Yathrib, now Medina,
having settled there
at an unknown date.
Although the Banu
Qaynuqa bore mostly
Arabic names, they
were both ethnically
and religiously
Jewish. They owned
no land, earned
their living through
commerce and
craftsmanship,
including
goldsmithery. The
marketplace of
Yathrib was located
in the area of the
town where the
Qaynuqa lived. The
Banu Qaynuqa were
allied with the
local Arab tribe of Khazraj and
supported them in
their conflicts with
the rival Arab tribe
of Aws.
‘In the 1960′s the
“Sawt Al Arab”
Broadcasting Station
in Cairo, Egypt, and
the Yemen
Broadcasting Station
in Sana’a
confirmed the Jewish
Ancestry of the
Saudi Family.
You ought to see
them behind the
scene, the dress
they don. You will
be surprise. You may
think that they are
angels. Below is a
story told by
Rueters.
Turkey says will
search Saudi
consulate where
journalist vanished
Ece Toksabay, Daren
Butler, Reuters
| Published:
| Modified:
Turkey said on
Tuesday that it
would search Saudi
Arabia’s consulate
in Istanbul where
Saudi journalist
Jamal Khashoggi
vanished last week,
and close ally
Britain called on
Riyadh to provide
“urgent answers”
over his
disappearance.
Khashoggi was last
seen one week ago
entering the
consulate in
Istanbul to get
documents related to
his forthcoming
marriage. His
fiancée, waiting
outside, said he
never emerged and
Turkish sources said
they believe
Khashoggi, a
prominent critic of
Saudi policies, was
killed inside the
mission.
Turkey’s President
Tayyip Erdogan asked
Saudi Arabia on
Monday to prove its
assertion that
Khashoggi left the
consulate.
The US State
Department said it
did not know what
happened to
Khashoggi and
whether he was alive
or not.
“We don’t know what
has happened to him.
We don’t have any
information on
that,” spokeswoman
Heather Nauert told
reporters adding:
“We don’t want to
make any judgments
about what
happened.”
Saudi Arabia has
dismissed as
baseless accusations
that it killed or
abducted Khashoggi,
and on Tuesday
Turkey’s state-owned
Anadolu agency said
Riyadh had invited
Turkish experts and
other officials to
visit the consulate.
Britain urged the
Saudi government to
explain what
happened. “Just met
the Saudi ambassador
to seek urgent
answers over Jamal
Khashoggi,” UK
foreign minister
Jeremy Hunt said on
Twitter.
“Violence against
journalists
worldwide is going
up and is a grave
threat to freedom of
expression. If media
reports prove
correct, we will
treat the incident
seriously -
friendships depend
on shared values,”
he wrote.
Turkey’s Foreign
Ministry spokesman
Hami Aksoy (photo)
said the
investigation was
“continuing
intensively”. The
Vienna Convention on
diplomatic relations
allowed for
consulates to be
searched by
authorities of a
host country with
consent of the
mission chief, he
said.
“The consulate
building will be
searched in the
framework of the
investigation,”
Aksoy said in a
written statement.
There was no
immediate comment on
the report from the
Saudi authorities.
News agency Anadolu
later reported that
a private plane that
had arrived from
Saudi Arabia at
Istanbul’s Ataturk
Airport was searched
last Tuesday, the
day Khashoggi was
last seen. The
search proved
fruitless and the
plane took off again
afterwards, it said.
A Turkish security
source had
previously told
Reuters
that a group of 15
Saudi nationals,
including some
officials, had
arrived in Istanbul
in two planes and
entered the
consulate on the
same day Khashoggi
was there, and later
left the country.
It was not
immediately clear if
the Anadolu report
referred to one of
those aircraft.
‘Forced
disappearance’
Khashoggi left Saudi
Arabia last year
saying he feared
retribution for his
criticism of Saudi
policy over the
Yemen war and its
crackdown on
dissent, and since
then wrote columns
for the
Washington Post
newspaper. His
disappearance
sparked global
concern.
In an essay in the
Washington Post,
Khashoggi’s fiancée,
Hatice Cengiz,
implored US
President Donald
Trump and first lady
Melania to “help
shed light on
Jamal’s
disappearance.”
“Although my hope
slowly fades away
each passing day, I
remain confident
that Jamal is still
alive,” Cengiz (photo)
wrote.
“Perhaps I’m simply
trying to hide from
the thought that I
have lost a great
man whose love I had
earned.”
Trump said earlier
on Tuesday he plans
to speak with the
Saudis without
elaborating.
Speaking at the
White House, he said
he did not have
details about
Khashoggi’s
disappearance.
The UN human rights
office urged both
Turkey and Saudi
Arabia to
investigate what it
called the “apparent
enforced
disappearance” and
possible murder of
Khashoggi.
“We call for
cooperation between
Turkey and Saudi
Arabia to conduct a
prompt and impartial
investigation into
the circumstances of
Mr Khashoggi’s
disappearance and to
make the findings
public,” UN human
rights spokeswoman
Ravina Shamdasani
told a Geneva news
briefing.
The two countries
have such an
obligation under
both criminal law
and international
human rights law,
she said.
In July, the UN
human rights office
called on Saudi
Arabia to release
all peaceful
activists, including
women held for
campaigning against
a ban on driving as
it was being lifted.
Khashoggi was once a
Saudi newspaper
editor and is a
familiar face on
political talk shows
on Arab satellite
television networks.
He used to advise
Prince Turki
al-Faisal, former
Saudi intelligence
chief and ambassador
to the United States
and Britain.
His disappearance is
likely to further
deepen divisions
between Turkey and
Saudi Arabia.
Relations were
already strained
after Turkey sent
troops to the Gulf
state of Qatar last
year in a show of
support after its
Gulf neighbours,
including Saudi
Arabia, imposed an
embargo on Doha.
The two Turkish
sources told
Reuters
on Saturday that
Turkish authorities
believe Khashoggi
was deliberately
killed inside the
consulate, a view
echoed by one of
Erdogan’s advisers,
Yasin Aktay, who is
a friend of the
Saudi journalist.
Erdogan told
reporters on Sunday
that authorities
were examining
camera footage and
airport records as
part of their
investigation. He
has also said Turkey
has no documents or
evidence regarding
the case.
The European Union
fully supports US
Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo, who
called on Riyadh to
investigate
Khashoggi’s
disappearance, EU
policy chief
Federica Mogherini
said.

A FARCE IN ONLINE
VOTING
Whoever decide to
use an online system
for vote casting
must have an
ulterior motive. The
data alteration on
the server side
could be done at
home, even from
Timbaktu. All I need
is just the IP,
username, password,
and database name.
using the MySql
database would be
the easiest.
Even the coding only
requires a few
lines.
I am not talking
about hacking. But
by a normal
procedure.
To me Azmin or
Rafizi does not
matter. But I do not
believe the whole
system is running in
an honest manner. As
I said the votes
could be rigged from
anywhere. Surely
some members of PKR
are literate and
educated enough in
the field of
computing. And they
should consider to
declare it null and
void. The manual and
traditional method
needs to be
deployed.
Till today we still
do not use AI
machine. It is still
a dumb machine until
we programme it what
to do. They put
chips to recognize
your voice or your
face. Even an auto
recording of voices
and faces are
pre-programmed.
It would be very
interesting to know
who proposed the
online voting
procedure.
Dirty mind wouldn't
be good for the
nation. And do not
forget that we
voters are still
strong and we will
decide what party to
vote. They could not
be pulled by their
noses. Even in
PD they have decided
who to vote for,
with or without a
campaign.
When winning one
must try to avoid
haughtiness and
pomposity,

TAHFIZ AND PERMATA
Who should run
religious and other
form of education in
this country ?
Certainly it is not
the work of a
Minister other than
the Education
Ministry, or a Prime
Minister's wife.
Tahfiz class is a
very interesting
one. It a type of
disguise to solicit
fund from the public, the
Malays in particular,
who are willing to
donate and sacrifice
for the sake of God.
It is an opportunity
to some to make
money by
capitalising the
good hearted
Muslims.
Though I do not run
a very detail
investigation, I
know of two
personalities who
are running the
Tahfiz class. One,
is my old friend
whose wife is
running a successful
business. He resigned
from his government
job and assisted
his wife , at the
same with the
abundant of money
that he has, he
undertook to open a Tahfiz school,
all on his own.
There is another man
whom I met during
the tour to the
Middle East. They
were husband and
wife, also running a
Tahfiz school and
seeking donations
from the groups. The
donations continued
to flow for some
time. I was about to
join the group for
the good of Muslim
community. I
hesitated. In the
mean time the couple
published their
trips else where in
Europe. I became
suspicious and sceptical for I know
the trip to Europe
would cost at least RM 12K per couple.
The habit of glob
trotting could
consume more than
RM100K in one and
half years. Would
that money better be
used to build a
small surau or to
finance the Tahfiz
class ?
Zahid Hamid is
yelling that he is
doing a noble job of
opening a Tahfiz
school and the
students could
recite the whole
Koran and even
passed in SPM
examination. That is
not the issue.
People raised the
question of him
running the school
when it is not his
job to do so. He is
not the only UMNO
man around to do the
job. The second
problem is he
misappropriated the
fund for his own
use. If it was a
crime then it was a
crime.
Too many people are
using religion to
steal and committed
crime. We have come
across a drug
smuggler who don in
Islamic robe and a
Koran in his hand.
This is a fact.
People don't yell at Zahid for running
the Tahfiz though it
was not his job to
do so, but people
shouted at him for
misusing the money to
pay for his bill. By
our laymen standard
we would have been
imprisoned. No judge
would give us the
benefit of the
doubt.
A friend commented
there is no logic
why a rich man would
steal money when he
already has plenty.
We all remember of a
time when the whole
of New York went
into darkness. People
broke into shops and
supermarkets to
loot. Even
professionals and
rich people were
arrested too. It is a
disease, insatiable
lust and a habit. Zahid has this
habit. The MACC must
have their own mind
to think and do not
fear the roar of
this man.
The case of Rosmah
Mansor running
PERMATA was also not
a norm. There was
the Ministry of
Education in the
building. She could
consult and discuss the matter.
The Ministry should
run it, not a Prime
Minister's wife.
What has her degree
in Anthropology got
to do with
children's
education. Again she
requested for funding
from her husband who
was the Prime
Minister by the
millions and was
approved.
Some suspected she
used part of the
money for her own I
didn't look the same way. I saw
her as trying to
show her power,
overstepping on
other people's toe.
Could the wife of
any other Ministers
run any other
institution similar
to it with other
name ?
It was still hot in
people's mind about
collecting levies
from the foreign
workers. weren't the
money went to
Zahid's
brother ? I saw Zahid as a big
snake.

MONEY OR JHO LO ?
How true is that Jho
Lo is offering back
the lost money in
return for immunity
? Of course it would
be easy for me to
talk as I am not a
Prime Minister or
any politician at
all.
First and foremost I
will not totally
dispel the idea. I
would think deeply
about it. And I want
to know how much
1Mdb is losing and
how much can we
recover back the
money. I won't deal
for any recovery
below 60%. I will
consider if it is
80-85%. And I will
accept it if it is
95%.
Then I will make a
deal with Jho Lo as
to the degree of
immunity he would be
willing to accept
it. There is no
total and absolute
immunity. He has to
bear some
punishment. DOJ
chose to get the
money than to punish
the offender.
The government's
rejection of Mr Lo's
offer must be
depending on one of
the two factors;
either it is strong
enough and with
determination like
the Jewish army to
recover and get back
the money or she
doesn't mind losing
the whole sum rather
than to bow to Jho
Lo.
That made Daim
dilemma. Tun would
reject the idea
straight away. To me
it is wiser to bring
the matter up with
the cabinet after
seeking the view of
the Counsel of
Elders.
My point of
contention is the
quick recovery of
money for a smooth
take off of our
economy. We can
erase the 1Mdb
debacle once and for
all. But we need to
see the money is
back in our coffer
first.
We are losing money
in 1Mdb only, we
also lost money
right from our
coffer. Actually
there are ways to
get back the money.
We need to forget
the rule of law. We
have to forget the
normal method. Do I
have to spell the
procedures one by
one ?

to build factories
and industries in
this area. They have
decided Penang,
Thailand and
Vietnam. The Thais
are having problem
because the labour
force cannot supply
specialist workers.
They decide to bring
in the workers from
India.
The Malaysian
representative
commented "What the
hell they scrapped
vocational schools
for ?" Penang has a
training centre and
probably could
overcome the skill
labour issue.
I remember, during
the World War, the
Americans have to
look for all welders
throughout the
United States for
ship building
industries.
And today building
industries are
employing the
Bangladeshis to do
the welding job.
I remember during
when the Vocational
Division was to
decide the type of
PCs to be used in
school an officer
told the big boss to
exclude me because I
do not possess any
computer training,
education or
certificate. But it
was I who was called
to develop a
software for the
division.
It was very nasty of
me to bar them from
using my program as
I am not qualified
in giving them input
on matters
pertaining to
computing.
There is nothing
that we can do
having people who
always despise and
belittle all others
who are educated
than they are.
I am sad to think of
what may happen to
our young people.
Rather than
lamenting the issue
let us wait and see.
We will know soon
when the Chinese set
up their factories
in Penang.

PROUD OF YOUR
MASTERS AND PHDs
We hail those people
with Masters and PHD
degrees for they are
the people who would
shape the country's
future in the
progress and
advancement in
technology, economic
growth and
inventions. The
Ministry of
education had begun
to take engineers
into the Technical
Education Department
to see a concrete
progress in the
field. We are having
engineers managing
technology education
for more than 15
years now.
There are millions
who do not have
college or
university
education, who have
never heard of the
words linier
regression. They
work hard to find
fish, plant
foodstuffs, selling
their products and
transport the
necessities to feed
the masses. Thee are
masters in their own
destiny. Some become
millionaires and
very wealthy.
Though they may be
less educated they
understand that the
knowledge is so vast
and wide in the
universe yet to be
discovered. Each day
there is a new
finding and
discovery. How much
can a man grasp and
learn and understand
from his environment
? In primary
school we learn the
basic of maths and
science and 3R. In
secondary knowledge
is expanded and
specialize as it is
beyond one's ability
to follow all the
subjects. In
colleges and
universities they
are more skewed,
many to a single
topic. In reality
that topic has no
end.
To a vegetable
seller a person with
a Master, PHD, Mdor
engineering degree
has to pay the same
price. He will throw
a smile if you him
your 3,9 or 4 flat
CGPA.
Success in life does
not need a Master or
PHD. It is a factor
of hard work,
patient and strong
will power. For the
Malays they don't
have to look at some
unknown
personalities, just
look at Ramly
Burger.
The people do not
bow or respect or
even scared of
powerful people.
Neither do they care
about your
qualification. They
judge you by your
characters,
honestly, sincerity
and humility. You
can be proud of your
qualifications but
people will just
ignore them.

INDIAN CWers
I love to listen to
Indian stations
working on Morse
codes. It just suit
my taste with the
procedures which the
old hams used to
practise. Many are
using the manual
keys and are
transmitting at
about 12 wpm. When
they call CQ they
will end with AR
follow by K. There
are literature about
which one to use and
at what instant.
AR means the end of
transmission, K is
to invite to
transmit. In calling
CQ I seek the rule
of common sense. For
my call 9M2AR, I
might as well use
only K. For 9M2ZAK
he can use AR or AR
plus K. I have been
confusing before
when I heard 9M2ZAK
calling CQ using
only K as it sounds
like 9M2ZAKK.
Secondly the Indians
would use AR at the
end of his
transmission, giving
the call sign and
finally using K.
That suits my style
and after the two
stations finished I
waited for a while.
VU2JN called CQ
again, Only then I
answered, he picked
me up giving me my
signal report,
As usual, for the
first time contact,
I gave my his
report, my name, my
QTH (my location),
my radio, antenna,
power, and the
weather report. He
reciprocate the
information and we
later signed out
with
DITDITDITDAHDITDIT
DIT DIT.
I would encourage
Malaysian hams to
monitor the Indians
to familiarize
themselves with the
SOP.

SHOULD ALL JEWS
BE OUR ENEMY ?
If you read Talmud
then you may hate
the Jews.
Jews are living side
by side with the
Muslims in Iran,
Turkey, Egypt and
everywhere else
including in Israel.
It is a religion
nearest to Islam.
Muslims can consume
animal's meat
slaughtered by the
Jews. And their
prayers are similar.
Most of all they
believe in ONE God,
the same God as the
Muslims.
A Jew can be an
Atheist, hates the
violence in
Palestine and prefer
to propagate peace
and harmony.
Like any other
people there are
good Jews and bad
Jews. There
despicable Malay and
Muslim criminals
too. They murder,
robbed, peddle
drugs, cheat and
lies. There re
greedy Muslims as
much as the greedy
Jews. If you say the
Jews are misers and
stingy, so are the
Malays, Chinese and
Indians. Why should
we throw our money
foolishly.
Mahathir is not
happy with the Jews
when he thinks of
Soros and Goldman
Sachs. Goldman was
regarded as helping
Najib to plunder
this country. The
rest of the people
are concern on the
Jews treatment on
the Palestinians.
If there is anybody
to help the
Palestinians it
should be the
wealthy Arabs who
should work together
with Israel to
provide medicines
and food for them.
Why should they
spend for Salman
Foundation in
Malaysia ?
Remember in the
yesteryears we were
not allowed to enter
China and other
Communist states, so
much so we imagine
the Communists as
people having horns
on their heads and
ready to bite any
other human being.
But now millions of
us went to Vietnam
and China over and
over again, only to
find the people are
just like us.
We have been to Tel
Aviv, Haifa and the
whole of Israel. We
did not find any Jew
staring at our women
with Hijab and head
scarf. There were
mosques in Israel
too.
But we do not
elevate Israel and
the Jews as angle,
the number one
people to be
respected. There are
as many extremist
Jews as the Muslims.
In my Mind, we
cannot generalize
Jews as the same.

I WOULD NOT GIVE
A DAMN TO
SAUDI ARABIA
There was a
report that the
current PH
government is
sending Hishamuddin
to Saudi to mend the
broken relationship
between the two
countries. It was
reported Saudi
prince refuses to
see any of the
Pakatan
representative, only
the representative
of the former Prime
Minister. Malaysia
found it important
to negotiate the Haj
quota of Malaysian
pilgrimage.
I would never
respect the nation's
stand. If the Prince
think Najib is
better it means he
is trying to protect
a criminal and
condoning sins and
bad culture. Islam
forbids such an act,
and forbidding lying
and evil deeds.
It is highly
probable the stance
is due to the
perception that the
oil will never
depleted and Saudi
will be the most
wealthy nation
forever.
Saudi's oil may come
to an end one day.
Alternative fuel may
no longer be a
military secret and
release for
commercial use.
There is a new
propulsion system
that does require
the liquid oil
anymore. This can
happen any time.
Saudi will have to
go begging, and have
to depend on revenue
from the Haj.
Malaysia should be
worried about
banning the
pilgrimage or
limiting the quota.
Doing a Haji is once
in a life time. A
person has a long
number of years to
wait for his time.
If banning is
imposed the sins
would fall on the
Prince.
I never like Saudi's
attitudes in bombing
Yemen just to curb
the Muslim Shieet.
They are Muslims
like the Iranians.
If the sect is not
accepted by God then
God will take the
task to punish them.
How Islamic are the
Islamic Countries
A
study conducted by
Prof. Hussain Askari
of George Washington
University entitled
*“How Islamic are
the Islamic
Countries”* showed
that most of the
countries that apply
*Islamic Principles*
in their daily lives
are not ones that
are traditionally
Muslim.
New
Zealand ranked 1st,
Luxembourg 2nd,
Ireland 3rd,
Iceland 4th,
Finland 5th,
Denmark 6th
Canada 7th.
Malaysia 38th,
Kuwait 48th,
Bahrain 64th
and
the
surprise *Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia ranked
131st*.
The
study, published in
the *Global Economy
Journal* might be
shocking to most of
us but when we look
around us and see
the reality of the
situation, we find
that the results of
the study are
accurate and true.
As
Muslims we seem to
care only about
performing religious
Obligations/Rituals/Sunnah
(prayer, fasting,
niqab, beards, etc),
reading the Qur’an
and the Hadiths, but
we don’t practice
what we espouse. We
listen to religious
lessons and sermons
more than the other
people on the face
of the earth, but we
are still not the
best of Nations. In
the last 60 years,
we have listened to
3,000 Friday
sermons.
A
Chinese merchant
once said: “Muslim
merchants come to me
and ask me to put
fake international
labels and brands on
their goods. When I
invite them to eat,
they refuse because
the food is not
Halal. So it is
Halal for them to
sell fake goods?”
A
Japanese Muslim
said: “I traveled to
the West and saw
Islam in practice
applied in the daily
life of non-Muslims.
I traveled to the
East, I saw Islam
but did not see any
Muslims. I thank
Allah I knew Islam
before I knew how
Muslims act.”
Religion should not
be reduced to Prayer
and Fasting. It is a
way of life and it
is about how we
treat others.
Performing a
religious obligation
is up to you and it
is something between
you and Allah.
However, good ethics
is something between
you and other
people. In other
words, if we do not
put Islamic ethics
into action and
practice, corruption
will become rampant
and disgrace will be
our future.
We
should not judge a
person based on how
he performs
religious
obligations for he
might be a
hypocrite.
The
Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him)
said: “Verily, the
bankrupt of my
nation are those who
come on the Day of
Resurrection with
prayers, fasting and
charity, but also
with insults,
slander, consuming
wealth, shedding and
beating others.”
I
believe *Islam*
(external aspect of
faith) is incomplete
without *Imaan*
(internal aspect of
faith) and *Ihsaan*
(social aspect of
faith). Ponder,
understand and
realize this.
Lord
Bernard Shaw is said
to have said: Islam
is the best religion
and Muslims are the
worst followers.
Lying is a great
sin. The Prince
should know this.

LISTEN TO THE
EXPERIENCE CW
STATIONS
There isn't many old
timers anymore on
the band. The
numbers began to
shrink. It is global
phenomena that
happens with the new
ITU regulation.
Coded hams are
paving away. CW or
Morse codes are
still there but the
number of ragchewers
are declining.
It was a few years
ago there were
stations on 7 MHZ
padding their keys
at about 35 words
per minutes. JA1NUT
and N6TT would work
for hours, back and
forth. A long chat
like that would be
different in the
normal two stations
who just net for the
first time. There
were a lot of BK
when passing to each
other. Call signs
were transmitted for
every 4 or 5 overs.
At that speed I
didn't have time to
write but only
listened with my
eyes close. There
were no encryption
of characters. But
by the sound of
words. To be able to
recognize words we
have to listen to
them constantly,
everyday till they
became familiar.
I use a manual keyer.
I could not not go
at more than 20 wpm.
When I called CQ on
the band I would
start at 12 wpm. It
is comfortable speed
and we can be sure
that the other
stations could copy
us 100%. To me a
good CWer is a
person who can
ensure the other
party would be able
to comprehend the
total message.
But those
experienced hams are
telling all sort of
stories, about their
daily activities,
family matters etc.
They have no choice
but to go much
faster.
JA1NUT is a Japanese
and N6TT is an
American living in
Los Angeles. They
worked in English.

I
NEVER EXPECT IT TO GO
THIS FAR
When I say WHAT'S
NEXT I only expected
misfortunes and bad
luck would befall
this country seeing
the black aura
around Rosmah Mansor.
At that time I
didn't know the
story about his own
blood farther
cursed and disown
her. I saw
disaster after
disaster, MH370,
Kinabalu's tremor,
MH17, flooding and
asked whether they
were just
co-incidences or due
to the evil she
carried along.
I saw Rosmah
persistent climbing
on the ladder,
showing her power,
feared by all around
her. I knew what was
in her mind, "I am
pretty. I am a
university
graduate....I will
get what I want."
One woman in a tour
group with me
mentioned the same
phrase 'I will get
what I want' when
she narrated
Rosmah's behavior
while this lady was
trying to woo Najib.
The whole office
heard what Rosmah
was saying.
She got Najib as her
husband. She was not
a single lady but
already married with
kids. And Najib was
not single either.
Najib divorced his
wife for this woman.
She created history
by having a special
office in the Prime
Minister Department.
It was called FLOM.
The term First Lady
was transferred from
the Queen of the
Country to the Wife
of The Prime
Minister. She had a
jet plane designed
for her.
When we have the
Ministry of
Education to look
after education,
learning and
training of the kids
and the workforce,
she made her own
PERMATA and
demanding for
millions of ringgit
to run the school.
If she were to
concern of
children's
education, she could
have talked to the
Minister of
Education who was a
strong man of her
husband.
Everyone has been
trying to avoid the
possible reason of
the missing of
MH370, the pilot
suicide, angered by
Najib's jailing of
Anwar Ibrahim. The
second sodomy was
truly a fabricated
one. Najib wanted to
rid his main
challenger, from
whom he first seek
for help when he
lost the GE14. It
was him who
discussed with
Saiful which he
would obviously
denied it. While the
first sodomy
happened when
Anwar's enemies
mobbed Tun Mahathir
forcing Tun to
believe in the lies.
To me it was an
event that happened
under the growing
influence of a dark
force surrounding
Rosmah. While the
whole country were
mourning Rosmah was
reported to pursue
her diamonds and her
bags. Then boom the
MH17. News broke
that Rosmah phone
Putin, scolding the
Russian President.
Rosmah must have
thought she was a
very great person to
confront a President
of a strong nation.
The whole country
started to talk
about BOTOK. I
didn't what it was.
People also talked
about diamond rings
and Berkin bags. I
started to look for
more information
about BOTOK and
Rosmah's spending.
My wife who was
already bed ridden
and very sick said
to me, "Let her have
anything she wants.
She is a Prime
Minister's wife...."
She passed away in
March 2015. My kids
were all supporting
Barisan Nasional
government and were
all against my
ideal.
As news of 1Mdb
started to loom,
Najib denied it. He
denied having
millions in the
local bank. He sued
Harakah for
re-printing foreign
report on Najib's
scandal. His
supporters
challenged the
accusation of Najib
having 2.6 billions
in the country
saying 'Najib is not
so stupid to keep
money in the local
bank'. When WSJ
repeated on Najb's
money, he threatened
to sue the portal
within a week.
Everybody waited.
In the meantime both
the husband and the
wife went on
glob-trotting under
various programs.
Some amateurs traced
the flight route and
discovered Rosmah
took a jet to
herself to go to
Bangkok. People gave
advice for the Prime
Minister and his
wife to hear to the
public cry. They
never heed.
Months later Najib
admitted of having
the 2.6 billion in
Am Bank. A few
months later he came
up with a donation
story and shuttled
up and down to Saudi
Arabia. USA under
DOJ started an
investigation on
money laundering on
her soil.
The 2.6 were
associated with 1mdb
money, stolen away
by crooked and
sophisticated means,
sharing among the
looters. Najib had a
share in it.
During the turmoil I
already told my
friends that Najib
will say the money
is for UMNO, just to
make sure he will
get the backing of
the Malays and UMNO.
He started to send
people for
pilgrimage, which is
the most benevolent
act to do. He went
to umrah and Haj
several time to show
that he is a good
Muslim, and do not
commit any sin. His
Minister, Ismail
Sabry, elevate him
to the level of the
Prophet Mohammad.
As DOJ was making a
momentum, both Najib
and Rosmah tried to
make contacts with
Obama and Michel, so
that the President
will order the DOJ
to halt
investigation.
Instead, Obama
indirectly mentioned
Najib during his
farewell to the new
President.
From Obama Najib
shifted his
allegiance to Trump.
"Trump is my Golf
Buddy," he declared.
All the same he
worked hard to make
Trump to give a
thumb up, to stop
pursuing
investigation.
He has one last
straw. He has to
prove to the world
that the country is
behind him. And he
has to show to the
people that the
World looks up upon
him as a great
leader.
The reality of life
is that Najib had
made so much
borrowings and
becoming uncalled
surety to whatever
firms. 1Mdb was
losing money. He
tried to get China's
help to cover the
holes made. He has
to make lopsided
contracts with
China's firms to
cover the huge loan.
During the period of
Najib there were
several high profile
murders had taken
place; the death of
Hussein Najadi who
wanted to expose
about 2.6 billion of
Najib's money, the
bombing of Altantuya
by the body guards
of the Prime
Minister, the sudden
death of PI Bala who
claimed to expose of
Najib's Altantuya's
relation and the DPP
Kevin Morais who was
preparing the charge
sheet on Najib Razak.
When I was asking
WHAT'S NEXT PI Bala
and Morais were
still alive. I
thought all other
things were not
significant but the
mere natural
disaster from the
bad luck of Rosmah
Mansor. I insinuated
that Najib should
divorce Rosmah to
avoid bad
happenings. Whether
BN wins or not in
GE14, he must get
rid of her.
My WHAT'S NEXT was
focussed on nothing
more than natural
disaster. But at the
same time I belived
God had begun to
punish Rosmah. She
became fatter and
fatter. Her Botok
and facial surgery
had made her more
ugly. Her fountain
of youth had turn
her to be more ugly
looking.
Never did I expect
Najib was going to
fall in GE14. The
thousands or
millions of blue
flags around the
whole nation my
village almost
paralysed me.
"Please God, dont
make us suffer any
more," I said. I
refused to monitor
the election result
on May 9 2018.
On hearing the news
I was very very
cool.
We celebrated among
a few of us. We did
not vote for DAP,
BERSATU OR PKR. We
voted for Pakatan
Harapan and we
wanted Rosmah out.
Certainly we were
angry when Rafizi
ramlee claimed that
we voted for PKR.
I always know that
Najib have a lot of
friends and
followers because he
has given them
favors, money, posts
and extensions of
their retirement
period. I also know
that he has lots
more of his money by
the billions. I
joked with a friend
yesterday, if the
government would
give me a full power
I can get back
almost all of the
money within a week.
But both Rosmah and
Najib should be put
under my custody.
My WHAT'S NEXT did
not turn out as
natural disasters or
calamities. It comes
around Najib and
Rosmah. Both were
charged in court and
waiting for the
trials.
This is not the end
of the dark tunnel.
The outlet is
unknown and beyond
our imagination. The
ghost of Kevin
Morais, PI Bala and
Altantuya are
beginning to
resurrect. It starts
with Kevin, then PI
Bala. We don't know
how and in what
manner Altantuya
will come to life.
Najadi might be very
remote.
It is too horrid to
think of death by
hanging. We will
never expect that it
will come this far.

WHO TOLD THE
PEOPLE ?
Immediately I told a
friend that Najib
was involved when
Kevin Morais was
dead and when it was
announced PI Bala
was had a hear atack.
Later I found many
others were having
the same view as I
was. The quick
explosion and
proliferation of
horrid image
automatically
pointed out to Najib.
Less than a thousand
people read Sarawak
Report or
Malaysiakini to
claim those portals
were responsible for
making up stories.
Malaysians are
intelligent enough
to see things and to
put two and two
together. Never
assume that the
citizens do not know
of the setup of
secret departments
and the machinery
behind Najib. The
dissemination of
information are
quick to reach the
whole world. Thus
they have some idea
of FEMA and MASANTO,
giving them
analytical work to
do.
Whatever was
published by
Sarawakreport only
gave confirmation to
my initial belief.
Other people even
feared of Rafizi and
Zetty might be
killed like Morais.
Even FBI believed
the killing squad
was moving covertly
under the eyes of
Najib and his men.
People were
not wrong when Tun
Mahathir's plane was
tempered with.
If people believe in
all what the media
said the sale of
Utusan and Berita
would have not
declined. They
talked and discussed
events around them.
I even told my
friend who seemed to
be very shocked when
I said PI Bala was
murdered. I didn't
tell the world about
it. Yet later as I
read the feedback
from the readers of
Malaysiakini I
learned that
identical notion
ware in the minds of
many others.
Of course there is
no way to verify of
it's authenticity.
But we cannot
dismiss it as
something that is
untrue, nor can we
reject it as a darn
fact. Only God knows
the ultimate truth.
But I am so very
sure that Najib is a
serial liar. He has
been denying things
from the beginning
even before the 1Mdb
scandal. And he has
been doing a lot of
boastings and
bragging.
Millions have
been wondering how
SR and WSJ get all
the details and
names of those
involved. No normal
Malaysians would
know of the existing
nature and contents
of the documents,
even the picture of
Najib on the yacht
with Djo Lo and
Prince Turki. There
was a video and
quickly taken off
the Youtube showing
Rosmah's high handed
and stubborn
manners.
Who told the people
about the good and
bad of Najib and
Rosmah ? Let me put
them in numbers.
1. The mainstream
media.
2. Their own
analytical mindes.
3. Najib and Rosmah
themselves
4. The UMNO members
5. The alternative
media including the
SR, WSJ, Mkini etc.
Though there were
talks of Rosmah and
shamans and black
magic, I never took
them seriously. It
might not be true at
all. But I believe
very much there were
many shamans who
came from all over
trying to offer and
give even free
services to save
both Najib and
Rosmah from all the
bad omen and bad
deeds. I expect the
present predicaments
to happen after my
death, and many
years to come, even
if after Najib had
won GE14. I told
many of my friends
that one of the
future Prime
Ministers would see
that he will be
incarcerated.
I never expect it to
be so soon.
I know that Najib is
scared that he would
be hanged.
Najib dear, don't be
scared. Ismail Sabry
had elevated you as
a Prophet. And you
said nothing about
it. Didn't you say
you are a chosen one
?

ACQUIESCE
to accept, agree, or

happen by staying
silent or by not
arguing
Why was Ghani Patail
sacked and his man
was found cemented
in an oil drum ?
They happened almost
at the same time,
and later on Ghani's

to see the murder of

bombing of Altantuya
and the death of PI
Bala were related to
one same man ie
Najib Razak ?
Any criminal would
demand for proofs
for their crimes.
Saddam Hussein
denied that he
ordered for the
shooting of the
Kurds, yet he was
hung. In my argument
I would throw back
the question to
Najib asking him to
show proof of his
father doing
something to his
mother that resulted
in him. Did anyone
see the action of
the couple ?
Najib is following
the case very
closely, even
forgetting that he
is facing numerous
charges against him.
And he is making a
lot of statements
trying to defend
himself even before
the case has come to
conclusion.
If it is universally
true that the
killing of Kevin is
related to the
charge sheet and the
death of PI Bala is
too threatening to
Najib then who else
could be complicit
in those horrible
despicable acts ?
Millions would named
the former IGP and
Shafiee as the
principle
accomplice. The
definition of a
murderer is not the
gun that pull the
trigger but the hand
that pulls it, the
man whose hand that
holds the finger,
any other man who
ordered the killing
and those who come
under the word
acquiesce.
Judgements as to who
are guilty or not
all come from fellow
mankind. It could be
from a single judge,
a few judges, a
group of people
called juries AND by
MILLIONS OF other
people. All were
looking at the
motives, proofs and
circumstances.

A BIG CONTRAST
I am a poor man but
the providence is in
abundance. The most
valuable gift is the
good health that I
am enjoying. Like
everybody else I
have to pay for all
sort of taxes and
rates, for my own
land and lodging,
water, telephone and
electricity. The
cheapest is water
and the most
expensive is my
telco bill.
I learn from
friends, they pay
the water bill once
a year. Finding it
interesting I
followed them. When
I received the first
bill of RM6, I paid
RM250 in one shot. I
am lazy to compute
when my credit will
come to zero. It
could be more than 2
years before I make
another payment.
As for electricity
and Telco I felt
cheated by PH
government. There is
no real reduction at
all. Why should PH
let the rakyat paid
for the loan made by
Najib ? When I was
working, I never
paid any debt
committed by my
predecessor and I
challenged their
lawyers to sue me. I
had expected the
present government
to dare whoever had
given Najib the loan
to bring the case to
court. Iraq owed us
millions during the
era of Saddam. We do
not claim back the
money after his
fall.
People like us are
worrying about the
monthly bills and
expenditure. Just
compare with all the
big guys up there.
Do they ever lament
on such bills and
payments ?

GETTING BACK
STOLEN MONEY SEE THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE
UNIVERSE
Fate is inevitable.
When citizens are so
sure that all the
stolen money
wherever they are
will be brought back
to the country one
day, the criminals
and the rest should
figure out the
implications of
their words. No
matter what the
outcome is,
new people will take
over the country in
10 or 20 years time.
And one has to learn
how the Jews hunted
the people who
murdered them to
understand the
meaning of the
statement. The whole
generation will have
to bear the
consequences, as
they were brought up
with the stolen
money. Angry people
can be very savage.
The day will come
when the crooked
judges will beg for
forgiveness and they
will be treated like
animals, and their
generations will be
punished as severely
as possible. In the
1940s thousands of
Chinese warlords in
China were beheaded,
for the cruelty and
oppressive
practices. And I
mentioned briefly in
the last article on
the era of Pol Pot's
regime.
In this case Najib's
family and those who
took money from them
will have nobody to
blame but
themselves. Najwa's
remark about the
authority went too
far on arresting her
mother received very
angry retaliations
from the public. If
the government give
free hand to them to
run the search and
investigation only
God knows what will
happen.
The degree of
turbulence depend on
how adamant Najib's
family and UMNO's
bigots are. They
have been advised to
repent and to return
all of the loots.
Remember if Najib
were not named to
compete in the GE14
or retired
honourably, BN would
have still won the
election.
Never think that
people do not know
how much work had
been done to
fabricate documents
and evidences
locally and
internationally to
fool the Malaysians
and the world. Never
think people don't
know who is doing
what to coerce the
Arabs to falsify
information.
Judiciary must also
know that people are
angry when judges
took Apandi's words
as a Holly Book
despite other
concrete proof and
evidences. The law
have been booking
the people. And now
the people are
booking the bad
judges and the
lawyers. who can
ever forget with the
court judgment using
'THE SUN RISE FROM
THE WEST' ? The
people do not use
the flip-flop of the
words but as to the
facts and the truth
before their eyes.
This is not a
threatening note.
But something that
may exist if your
vision could see
beyond the universe.
The future is not
just tomorrow. It is
an infinity.
You may not believe
that when Najib took
Rosmah as his wife
there were people
who have had
visualize what is
happening today. Her
father had disowned
her. Her daughter
had no choice but to
voice out her
frustration on what
her mother had done
to the family.
Most serious of the
offence is murder.

ON THE EVE OF DEATH
My mother a few days
before she died she
was happily telling
old stories about
her younger days.
She could remember
names and events. Of
course it amazed me
great deal. But the
Malays believe when
a sick old people
were about to die
their minds could
remember things
vividly.
I am not going to
talk about my mother
but about myself.
All of a sudden the
past days rekindled
in my mind, events
happening about 50
years ago when I was
teaching in Kiet Hwa
Secondary School
Alor Setar. Many of
you were not born
yet, including Syed
Saddiq. TMJ may be
about 10 years old.
This reminiscence of
the distant past is
a clear sign that my
days will be soon
too.
There were two
happenings that are
zooming into my mind
now.
One day as I walked
in into my class
there were a burst
of cheers and hand
clapping. I was
astounded and
surprise. It was not
my birthday. "Why ?
" I asked. On that
particular day they
were betting on the
color of the shirt
that I would don. I
put on the red
shirt. I have red,
yellow, blue and
white long sleeves.
But never to expect
my students were
betting among
themselves.
Secondly, in one of
the classes 90% of
them were girls. One
of the girl's
student would call
me by any name she
likes; ci kgu, pendek,
handsome etc. She
stayed in front
seat. When I looked
at her, she would
wink an eye at me. I
pretended not to
notice. Let me named
her as Huang Lai Hua.
One day I said to
her, "Lai Hua, I
challenge you to
bald your head and I
pay you RM500." She
stood up and said,
"I accept your
challenge Cikgu. You
bald your head
tomorrow and I will
give you a thousand
ringgit." The
argument went on for
a week.
That was 50 years
ago. Recently I saw
her and all other
students in the
facebook. They were
having a re-union in
Kuala Lumpur. At
time they had their
re-union in
Australia. Non of
them knew that I
could speak light
Mandarin in Hokien
in those years.
Sometimes I asked
myself when am I
going to die. It
could be any day,
any time. You just
observe your old
folks too whether
they would change
their behaviours
before they go to
meet God. Their
memory would be very
sharp on the eve of
their death.

WHY BN LOST IN
GE14 ?
Only a very
small number
would accept my
insight as to
why BN lost in
the last GE ?
You would
remember how
Najib had been
bragging on his
greatness, of
how he was
welcome in the
United States.
Every night we
heard of his
boasting on TV3.
Ismail Sabry
even elevate
Najib to the
level of Prophet
Mohammad. Najib
was said to be a
chosen one. And
he was proud to
hear the praises
made on him.
Tun Mahathir who
was labelled as
a mean Prime
Minister had
never been
telling people
how great he
was. If he ever
lied, many
people do not
know because
lying was never
a cup of coffee
to him, whereas
Najib had been
lying all the
time during
almost all of
his speeches.
His favourite
phrases are "I
don't know about
it...If I know I
wouldn't have
done it......If
they had told me
I wouldn't have
done it...."
People saw
Rosmah as a
woman who was
running a
country. She had
an office in the
Prime Minister's
Department,
taking over the
job of foreign
Minister in
dealing with
Putin and
American
Presidents,
flying
government's
jets for her own
interest.
Recently Mohd
Taib scolded the
UMNO members for
asking the
source of UMNO's
fund. They
should have also
asked the origin
from the
beginning of the
formation of
UMNO. They have
the right to
know because the
money did not
come from UMNO's
coffer. The
treasurer didn't
know that UMNO
had so large
amount of money.
Any sane mind
would not
believe the
billions dropped
from the sky.
Mod Taib showed
his arrogance.
So were all the
UMNO members.
They thought
they were very
strong and
powerful and
invincible.
Najib believe in
the power of
money. He was
too much. He
even tried to
bribe God by
sending people
to make
pilgrimage with
1mdb's money.
His henchman,
Azeez said in
parliament
recently that
the pilgrims
could pray for
the well
being.....
While there were
chaos and
disarray on
accusations and
denials on
robbery and
Najib and Rosmah,
I started to
sense
comeuppance
against Rosmah.
God has already
punished her.
She became
fatter and
fatter each day,
more and more
uglier as days
passed. I jotted
it down in my
previous
articles. I
blamed the MH370
and Mh17 on her.
Of course it is
beyond our
rational
thinking of the
relationship,
unless we are
not so sceptical
on the mystery
of universe.
With all the
powerful BN's
machine, Najib
was shown the
way out on 9th
May 2018. Nobody
expect that BN
would be beaten.
Najib himself
did not believe
the outcome.
I gave a long
deep thought
about it. God
was kind enough
to save the
people of
Malaysia.
The refusal of
Najib to repent,
to return the
money stolen,
and the
continuance of
being adamant
and hard headed
could bring him
the very fearful
ending. he
should know that
he could be hung
to death.
Like me,
others believe
in Karma, the
bad things you
do on others
will return to
you.

Accused:
Najib offered me
RM3.5m to admit to
killing Kevin Morais
Bernama |
Published:
| Modified:
The seventh
accused in the
murder of deputy
public
prosecutor
Anthony Kevin
Morais told the
Kuala Lumpur
High Court today
that he was
offered RM3.5
million by
former prime
minister Najib
Abdul Razak to
plead guilty to
the crime.
S Ravi Chandaran,
47, told the
court that the
offer was made
through a
Prisons
Department
officer. He also
claimed he
received an
offer from
Morais’s younger
brother,
Richard, to do
the same.
Ravi Chandaran
said this when
cross-examined
by N Sivananthan,
the lawyer
of military
pathologist Dr
R Kunaseegaran.
Sivananthan:
You said
Kunaseegaran
offered RM1.5
million for you
to admit guilt.
This was done on
Dec 29. 2017.
Ravi Chandaran:
True.
Sivananthan: You
also lodged a
police report
that on Jan 26,
2018, Richard
Morais offered
RM2 million to
you to plead
guilty.
Ravi Chandaran:
Yes,
true.
Sivananthan: In
the same report
you said in
February 2018,
there was a
prisons officer
who offered you
RM3.5 million to
plead guilty on
behalf of Najib
Abdul Razak.
Ravi Chandaran: Yes,
true.
Ravi Chandaran
also agreed to
Sivananthan's
suggestion that
the amount of
money offered to
him by the
individuals
concerned for
him to plead
guilty totalled
RM7 million.
He disagreed
with the
suggestion that
he made up the
story about the
money, and that
the named
individuals had
no reason to
offer him said
money.
When asked
whether
Kunaseegaran had
ordered him to
kill Morais, the
accused said:
"No."
To a question on
whether
Kunaseegaran had
ordered him to
do something to
Morais, such
as kidnapping
him, the accused
also replied in
the negative.
Previously, Ravi
Chandaran told
the court that
Kunaseegaran had
offered him
RM1.5 million
if he pleaded
guilty to
killing Morais.
Besides
Kunaseegaran and
Ravi Chandaran, R Dinishwaran,
AK Thinesh
Kumar, M Vishwanath
and S Nimalan had
pleaded not
guilty to the
murder of Morais
during the
victim's journey
from Sentul to
Subang Jaya on
Sept 4, 2015.
All are charged
under Section
302 read
together with
Section 34 of
the Penal Code,
which carries
the mandatory
death sentence
upon conviction.
Dinishwaran, Thinesh
Kumar,
Vishwanath,
Nimalan and Ravi
Chandaran are
represented by
V Rajehgopal.
The prosecution
is led by deputy
public
prosecutor
Saiful Edris
Zainuddin.

VANISHING
PASSIONS
There are several
things that I
thought I couldn't
live without them.
The strongest ties
was the ham radio. A
Ham radio is a hobby
involving using
radio equipments to
communicate among
the members over the
air. During my time
a license can only
be issued after a
person has passed a
Radio Examination in
subjective format,
held in English, and
a pass in the Morse
test.
Another Ham friend
said "HAM RADIO IS
IN MY BLOOD" to show
deep the passion
was. That was the
situation during
those period before
the hobby took a new
turn. I am not going
to talk what the new
turn is. I still
keep the radio for
any contingency
purposes, any
unknown events that
might strike.
Today when it is
losing it's essence,
wrong terms and too
bad a language used,
and other haywire
non-ethical and
total departure from
the traditional
practices, I felt so
frustrated and began
to hate ham radio as
a rogue hobby. Only
last night I heard
in Morse codes the
..._.. become ..
_ .. and
number 5 ..... (5
dits) becomes ......
(6 dits), and in
voice SEE YOU DOWN
THE LOG has become
SEE IN LOG.
Now I have totally
lost interest in it.
It ceases to be a
passion of mine.
When computer came
into our lives, I
started to teach
myself programming
with the BASIC
computer language
and later migrated
to Visual Basic.
Though simple design
they could produce
amazing outputs of
all sorts. There
were wonderful
applications that I
had developed. Today
I have quitted the
Visual Basic
programming for two
reasons, the coming
of newer languages
that required
payments
occasionally and it
is due my old age.
The passion has
vanished but it is
not out of hatred
nor frustration. I
can always move to
the X-Codes and
other new languages
if I want to.
My writing web
application like the
one in
Qistina.net is just
to occupy my time
and to see whether I
can produce soft
wares as the experts
do. Though I do not
attain even 10% of
it, I feel happy and
satisfied with it.
However web
programming is never
a passion, rather an
experiment out of
curiosity.
Ageing can do a lot
of things to you. At
least it has done to
me.

A
LAYMAN
Being a common man,
enough pittance to
put bread on the
table, could be
happier than a man
with a mountain of
gold but being
cursed and condemned
by the world. At my
age I feel like
having a shrink
stomach, have to
limit the food
intake however
delicious it taste.
Being weak there is
no point having a
beautiful young
wife. Taib Mahmud
begins to realize
this and he is
willing to give back
his wealth to the
people of Sarawak.
It is a good omen.
A layman tastes more
the spices of life
than the
aristocrats. I saw
an elderly who
travelled overseas
to see places all on
his own, no body
guard or special
forces to secure his
safety. He can squat
down to enjoy the
Pasembor by the
roadside. I yelled
and shouted at
players and referee
during the soccer
match. We don't have
much manners and
protocols to adhere
to. We are free like
a bird.
We do not lose our
sanity, ability and
expertise. We do our
work by ourselves
and understand the
system and the
procedures. A
diamond that fell in
a mud will still be
a diamond. The most
valuable aspects in
a man is his
morality, honesty,
humility and
sincerity. Generally
a normal layman
doesn't seem to have
an arrogance in
himself.
When you go to a
waterfall, sun
bathing on a beach
or a Night Market
you will be mixing
with ordinary
people. At time you
see them having
their meals on the
grass near the
roadsides. This is
something that the
big guns can never
do.

THE
GAME OF CHESS
The chessboard is in
front of Najib and
the government. Both
have started the
first few moves.
Chess as in war do
use various
strategies and traps
to hoodwink and
confuse the
opponents. Decoys
were even setup.
A mistake in the
game could cause a
blunder. A player
must not only read
an opponent's mind
and intentions, but
also setup total
security defender.
I am no chess player
nor a strategist.
But I follow the
timeline and
observed the
behaviour pattern
according to time. I
build cases base on
those behaviours.
They will be the
proofs.
Though I am not an
educated and well
informed person like
the defenders of
justice, I sensed
the judges deliver
unjustifiable
sentences at times.
So much so some
sages made remarks
that WHEN A POOR
STEAL TWO DOLLARS HE
WILL BE IMPRISONED
FOR TWO MONTHS, A
THIEF WHO STOLE
MILLIONS IS MADE
INTO A KING. It is
just like seeing a
man stealing, is not
considered breaking
a law without a
police report
lodged.
We remember the Hand
of God of Maridona
when he used his
hand to score a
goal. The referee
did not see but film
clips proved it. We
used to play the
game in school and
deliberately hit the
pieces down and
rearranged them back
intentionally placed
them at the wrong
squares. The name of
the game were
cheating.
I am not wrong to
say that Najib and
his gangs have been
faking documents,
and putting dates to
fit the timeline. It
has been a common
practices by
organizations to
backdated letters
and documents. The
moral question is
which is more
important; the truth
or the document ?
This is where
morality and God
comes in. The God
fearing judges will
go for the truth.
In the game of Chess
with Najib, the
prosecutors can't
afford to go to
sleep, leaving the
chessboard
unattended and be
overconfident of
winning. Many people
were shocked to find
the opponents killed
their queens and
leaving them
impotent.
This is a warning.
If heeded the
country will suffer
a disaster. It is
too much now that we
are paying for the
sins of Najib. AG
must think hard
about forging and
faking documents by
Najib's gang.

ARTIFICIALITY
English school
students were told
from time to time
not to judge the
book by it's cover.
It was only today my
former student
accosted me, "Sir,
you are still
healthy." He did a
single round of
jogging. I completed
four rounds soaking
my whole body with
sweats. By one look
he judged me as
strong, fit and
healthy. What nobody
knew was how tired
and exhausted I was
on round at 2.4 km. I
nearly gave up and
wished for a short
slumber. They saw
the outward side of
me, an artificial
me. Only
after entering the
third round on the
track I began to
recover and
completed my 5 km
walk. Actually I am
not a healthy man,
wrapped with all
kind of sickness,
from heart to
kidney.
Keep in mind that we
are surrounded by
unreal things,
disguised with
dress, make ups, and
words. Crooks may
hold the holly books
in one hand,
and uttering God's name
loudly, and donning
religious attires in
yellow or white.
Outwardly they look
so good and so
innocent but the
real traits may be
pungent and
filthy.
Artificiality is
rife among the
politicians.
So we have to be aware
of superficiality to
make sure we will
not be conned and
cheated.
It takes some pain to
really know people
especially those who are
at a distant away. True or not
we cannot believe of what we
read or heard. Unless
they paraded
their characters themselves and
disposed to the
world by their
actions.
In term of the state
of health, we can
only guess. You
wouldn't say I am a
dead man walking.
But I am not
contagious as to cause
the others to suffer
the same fate. But nobody would ever
expect I would drop
dead while convening
my daily exercise. By the
appearance I am
superficially
healthy.

The
creature on my
Ceiling
There have been a
weird sounds on my
ceiling. Sometimes I
heard the BOOM BANG
sound like a very
heavy object dropped
from the roof.
Sometimes I heard
like some creatures
running. It has been
there for more than
20 years. I didn't
care. My late wife
said it was probably
a fox. One portion
of the ceiling isn't
there for it was
broken a long time
ago. There were
times I felt scared
the creature would
drop into the living
room while I was in
bed, and swallow me
to death. This is a
surreal happenings.
I have always a
hockey stick around
me at all time, even
in bed with me.
I called Ah Hwa to
make an opening at
the corner of my
attic, to give a
chance for whatever
animal to escape
when she feels like
leaving. I heard
nothing for about a
week thinking it was
all gone. Only a
couple of nights ago
the noise returned.
A friend said it is
Musang. Let it be
there for she would
take care of the
rats, mice and
lizards. I feel at
ease now. I told
myself to ignore it
and me to continue
with my business.
And I believe it
also takes care of a
thief too, who adopt
an entry method to
your home through
your rooftop.
I have stray cats
that are not mine
that I fed. I have a
Musang I did not
invite. After all I
am not totally alone
in this house by
myself.
It is a spice of
life that I have to
endure, casting the
fear and brave the
unknown. There are
thousands more who
live in the darkness
and wilderness and
uncertainties, And
there those who have
been betrayed by
their own kind, like
the Orang Asli in
Kelantan. |

HUMANS
ARE
If you have been
following my blog ,
you will find this
piece is a mere
replay of the
previous one. It is
about a friend whom
I have been
lamenting for
regarding me as a
useless guy as I did
not give a RM350K
loan. I said I did
not that amount of
cash and even if I
did I could not hand
the money without
any collateral
attached. Then from
RM350K the friend
reduced to 50K.
In between the
request I did ask
the person to send
me to the airport
which is about 7
miles away and at
other time to a
railway station for
30 minutes of their
time. All I get were
excuses of all
sorts. How could I
oblige in giving
them my money with
their attitudes.
On my part there
were moments of
calmness. Never mind
about losing
friendship. And on
their part, the
business grew.
Through twists and
turns they manage to
overcome their
financial mess. As
months passed the
wife talked to me
again over some
matters on the
phone.
A couple of weeks
ago she was talking
about a loan of
RM30K as I have
plenty of money to
travel overseas for
my vacation. I
assumed she would be
joking. I know that
her net business
income is RM18K a
month, whereas I do
not have any income
anymore. I live on
my meagre pension
fund. I did not yell
and shout, saying it
is not enough with
the increased cost
of living. In fact I
gave away some to
help those who are
much worse than me.
I did not response
to her request
sending a no-no
message by keeping
quiet about it.
It was yesterday
that I asked for her
help to pick me up
at the pro-Dua
service centre as I
have to leave my car
for the whole day
for the changing of
the timing belt and
water pump. At
almost midnight I
receive a reply,
indicating it could
not be done. I think
to her it is a tit
for a tat.
To me I seek the
help because I have
had her several
times sending her to
the clinic when she
was sick and her
husband was away in
Kuala Lumpur. I also
did several other
errands for the
family before.
I might as well
sacrifice RM50 more
to take a Grab car
from the service
centre to my home
and from my home to
the workshop in the
evening. Will I be
forgetting this
incidence and
experience in the
future ?
It doesn't matter
for losing friends
who only care for
themselves, who only
take but never give.
I have to console
myself by believing
in power of God to
decide. I always
talk about
barakah, the
providence of the
Al-Mighty to fellow
mankind. No amount
of wealth and money
would bring
tranquillity and
happiness to
cheaters, criminals,
liars, robbers and
those who forget the
sustenance given by
God. |

FACTS,
CONJECTURE AND
PREDICTIONS
The missing GST
funds is a very
dreaded and serious
offence. The
investigators, PAC,
will come to a
conclusion, which I
guessed was used by
Najib for the GE15
election. The money
was distributed
among the UMNO
divisions to corrupt
the voters at any
cost for the win.
Today it scarred
everyone who knew
about it as Najib is
having his murdering
squad under him. It
is an intelligent
conjecture as we
have seen a series
of murders and
attempted murder
that took place
during Najib's era,
the killing of
Hussein Najadi, the
death of PI Bala and
the murder of kevin
Morais. Finally
there was an attempt
to sabotage Tun
Mahathir plane
during the election
campaign. And I
believe they are
from a branch of
special police unit.
From the beginning
Najib and his men
were trying hard to
cover about the
missing fund alleged
to be misused in
months before the
election. PAC will
be listening to
Najib and hear how
he has to spin.
The stealing of
money is now spread
from 1mdb to
government's funds.
the story has not
erupted yet. People
may have no idea
about this, even the
country's judge who
ignored that there
were corruptions
during the last GE.
And Najib also used
the money to get the
suport of government
officers.
UMNO branches and
Ministers are now
aware and begin to
understand where the
money come from. The
cash they received
were never from
UMNO's account. To
them whatever come
from Najib and kept
by their boss
belongs to UMNO.
They are putting it
in the minds of the
populace to avoid
from being arrested
and charged.
I believe that the
investigators will
establish the fact
and will make a
move.
The UMNO members who
want to save
themselves from
persecution and
incarceration will
volunteer themselves
to be witnesses for
the government. The
battle of the Bugis
warrior is coming to
an end.
What Najib had done
to the people of
Malaysia is worse
than whatever the
mind can think of.
It is beyond
imagination and very
despicable act.
There is a last
thing that Najib can
do, to pray to God
that he and his wife
would be human being
again. He can't
replace the missing
GST fund as he has
distributed them. He
called it the
distribution of
wealth among the
citizens, including
to his top lawyer,
Shafiee.
I ask myself "Who is
whispering into my
mind about Najib's
evil deed ? "

SULTANAH
SUING SARAWAK REPORT
The Sultanah of
Trengganu may get a
hundred million
ringgit from Sarawak
Report editor, But
will that clear the
image of Trengganu's
Royalty ? I have
never read the
alleged book as it
is too costly for
me. Millions of
other people cannot
afford to buy the
book and read about
it. They are not
interested.
In the course of
court proceedings
more facts will be
revealed and shown
with proofs. Again
the ordinary people
will be listening
and making
judgements. At the
moment I too am
anxious to know how
and why the state of
Trengganu was
interested in making
more money and how
they get Djo Lo to
be involved. Surely
somebody did record
as to the number of
time the 'Fat Boy'
as some called him,
entered and leave
the palace.
In short there will
be a total exposure
of not only the
Trengganu Royal
family but also the
total history and
origin of the
Sultans in
Peninsular Malaysia.
People will be
starting to create
doubts in their mind
on the right of the
Kings to be Kings in
this country of
ours. There would be
a tussle that may
lead to the civil
war or the
displacement of the
current system with
a Republic.
It is imperative for
the Sultanah to look
before she leaps.
I do not support
Rewcastle. Neither
do I have any
interest in the
position of Royalty.
But this is the case
started with 1Mdb.
We were shocked to
hear of the interest
to the loan and
there weren't any
money left to cover
the debts. It is
lucky that the new
government did not
leave the country to
the masses for even
a day. The angry
mobbed could have
altered this country
to a Republic and
ran amok, and there
would have been a
civil war after May
9, 2018. We have to
be very careful
about our action.
The problem with us
is that we always
think that we are
invincible. If you
start to think of
the warfare in Iraq
and other Muslim
countries you would
be able to trace
back as to the
original cause. try
to think of the
Cambodia dreaded
event where lawyers,
teachers and doctors
were shot by young
boys.
I am just an old
layman. But I think
lawyers should be
cool and think over
of my words here.

MADE IN CHINA
PRODUCTS
Once I made a
promise to myself
not to buy Chinese
made goods. It is
not because I
despise or hate
China but I had
witnessed and
experienced buying
fakes stuffs from them. A
number of people
from my tour group
purchased Ipads
which they thought
were
original but turned
out to be fakes.
A few Malaysian
Chinese narrated
about them being
tricked too.
In January this year
I ordered a drone,
Mavic Pro, which I
thought were
manufactured in the
United States. There
were thousands of
clips made by US
citizens showing
American enthusiasts
piloting the
aircraft. I only
discovered it's
manufacturer when I
went to the drone
shop to pick up my
good. I was
surprised to read that it
was made in China.
As I flew the
machine I began to
wonder the state of
Chinese technology,
that enable to make
a very intelligent
drone for export. It
was a great toy that
could fly 4 miles,
1500 feet up and
could be on the air
for 27 minutes. The
picture was amazing
and fantastically
excellent.
I began to blame
myself for
my misconception of
Chinese products. I
should not
generalize to all
China's products
But about 3 weeks
ago I found that
three of my Mavic
Pro batteries went
bulky. One refused
to be seated on
battery compartment.
I took them to the drone
shop. I was told
that there were
three possibilities
for the swollen. I only
remember two of them ie that the battery
must have been kept
in the car for a
long time and
got overheated.
Secondly I must have
charged them to 100%
and never to use
them for a long
time. This is
exactly what had
really happened. I
always keep my
battery at 100% charged
after flying. No
wonder.
Mavic Pro batteries
can only be fully
charged before
flying. I usually
flew for about 12
minutes which is
about 50% of the
battery usage. I was told
to let it retain the
remaining till the
next flight. Reading
about it, the writer
mentioned the
battery should be
about 30 to 40% left
when not flying.
Never have it at
zero or 100% level.
The cells would be
damaged.
They are making
money out of the
batteries, selling
each at the price
between RM350 to
RM388. The
shopkeeper said he
has one with him and
could sell me at the
staff price, RM250.
I grabbed t.
I don't know what
sort of batteries
DJI sold to the
United States. If
they cheat the
Americans sooner or
later they will have
to pay for it. Now I
know that my haunched
of China's product
is right. Surely I
will not be buying
the new DJI drone
like the Pro2 or
Mavic Zoom anymore. I will
try to maintain the
newly bought
battery, and at the
same time am looking
for drones made in
USA or even in
Europe. They may be
a little expensive
but I believe they
will preserve the
total quality of
their products.
If you read this
article please tell
your friends about
it before they buy
DJI Mavic Pro. The
decision is theirs.
Forget about local
warranty for they
will put the blame
on you. They won't
replace the swollen
batteries for you.

MY VIEW ON WAGES
In the United
States, collective
bargaining has
become a tradition.
It is about an
increase in wages
and salaries. In
this country there
is a law on minimum
wage. And when there
is a law there is a
will to break the
law too. It is a
global phenomena, a
habit among fellow
human.
There are two main
effect of minimum
and higher wages.
They are inflation
and the shift of
employers
alternatives.
The rise in wages
must be followed by
the corresponding
growth in national
income, not merely
by GDP alone.
Otherwise the value
of money will be
decreased. It could
also follows by
excessive demand
over supply, as
people will be
thinking that they
can buy more with
higher wages. The
moment there is a
raise in wages, the
prices of products
and commodities will
increase.
Secondly the
employers will have
to think of an
action that they
need to take. The
first one is to
transfer the burden
on the customers by
making them to pay
more, or to look for
workers who are
willing to accept
lower salaries.
Shops may decide to
close down to get
rid of the current
workers and may
re-open again when
they can hire
workers who are
willing to accept
lower pay. That
explains why firms
in the United States
were willing to
employ Malaysian
graduates from their
universities, paying
them only USD800
compared to USD2,5
or USD3K to the
United States
citizens.
American firms
prefer to migrate to
countries with
cheaper labor cost
like China or
Vietnam. Firms in
Malaysia would
always prefer
foreign workers for
the same reason. It
is found that
foreign workers like
Bangladeshis are
more skilful than
the Malaysian
counterparts.
In the long run
higher wages and and
minimum pay will not
be healthy for the
country.
Any productive
factory with good
growth in income and
productions will be
paying satisfactory
bonus to the workers
without being
pressured by any law
and jurisdiction. |

PLANNING MY NEXT
TRIPS
I counted the 100000
Indonesian Rupiahs
that are left after
my last trip to
Ternate. There are
52 pieces, quite a
substantial sum. It
indicates that going
with a group of
friends without the
travel agent cost
much less. Not only
cheaper but also
less hectic. The
time is our own,
whereas travel
agencies are trying
to make as much
profit as possible
and squeeze as much
money as possible
from their clients.
But at time you need
to go with them.
My next trip is to
Korea on the coming
August the 13th 2018
with POTO. Going
with a partner would
cost RM2750. Going
alone is RM3400. The
journey starts at
5pm from Kuala
Lumpur to Hong Kong.
It will be a long
wait at Hong Kong
until 1.10 am. After
arriving Inchun
Korea at about 5am,
we will start our
tour without a rest.
Even if we were to
take a cheap flight
on our own, we would
straight away check
in the hotel first,
rest for a few hours
before going for the
tour. I wish I could
take some naps
during the flight.
Secondly what I do
not like about
travel agency is
they demand for a
quick and immediate
booking fee. I
contacted the
Safirgotravel months
before the cancelled
trip to China's Silk
Route. The trip was
suppose to be on
11th of September
last. But
Safirgotravel
cancelled it. I
asked for the refund
and till today I
haven't receive any
yet. There was a
clause that said any
cancellation must be
made before a
certain date to get
back the full sum.
But this
cancellation was not
made by me. It is
uncalled for the
company to delay the
return of their
client's money.
A long time ago I
used to follow
Reliance tour. I
would consider the
non-Muslim tour much
cheaper than the
Malay Muslim one.
The only drawback
was the status of
the Halal Food. The
nearest they can
provide is fork-free
meals.
The mood of the
Malays today has
changed from
confining themselves
to their cocoons to
spreading out to see
the world. Even the
poor have a strong
desire to see other
countries. The less
affordable would go
to Indonesia, China
and Vietnam as the
prize tags are still
low. The mediocre
would be willing to
spend on trips that
cost below 5K. The
wealthy one has no
limit to their
expenditures. There
are RM25K to RM50K
trips for each
person. It is beyond
the reach of the
poor and the
mediocre.
Muslim travel
agencies bloom
everywhere but they
concentrate more on
Haji and Umrah. A
few seemed to be
lazy and indolence.
They only want to
take a group with
them and will not
entertain a single
traveller like me. I
always know such a
company won't last
long.
With the 52 pieces
of 100000 Indonesian
Rupiah I certainly
have a plan to visit
the country again. I
have Medan, Lombok
and Madura in mind.
For Medan is just
for a siesta, Lombok
to see my old poor
maid who had taken a
good care of my late
wife, and to Madura
to see whatever is
happening to my
monthly maid who
promised to return
but I have receive
no news till today.
Her other Indonesian
friend too are
anxious to know
about her.
Rusli, my travel
partner who is going
to Moscow via the
Trans-Siberian
Railway after my
coming back from
Korea, had mentioned
about Taiwan. That
interest me as well.
I have googled about
Muslim food stalls
and restaurants, and
found plentiful of
them in the
Republic. The trip
may be around March
next year.
My age is one of the
stumbling block that
hinders me from
travelling alone by
car to distant
places. If I am
still on the 30th or
40s I would have
driven my car to
Bangkok or Krabi. It
is a dread even
thinking of Kuala
Lumpur or Cameron
Highland. Even at 50
or 60 I would still
drive to the East
coast with my drone
to shoot some scenic
areas that I had
passed trough
before.
I cannot predict
what my mental and
physical condition
will be going alone
at this age. There
are numerous
possibilities that I
would not be able to
figure out. At least
I must a company who
would talk and tell
stories while
driving, rather than
getting one who will
fall asleep along
the way.
In the 80s I used to
travel to Los
Angeles every other
year and roaming the
city, as well as
going places by bus,
enjoying the
Universal Studio,
Disneyland, Knot
Berry farm and other
Orange Country area.
All alone on my own.
And on every trip I
would break my
journey in Hawaii,
stayed there for 4
or 5 days before
proceeding to the
mainland.
I know I am old but
I never feel one. I
still drove my car
at 100mph during the
night time to Kuala
Perlis which is
about 1 hour away. I
drove like a hell
driver in the busy
city. I walked 5km a
day. Most of all I
appreciate beautiful
young girls, love to
stare at their
smooth whitish skin,
and voluptuous
breasts. So help me
God. |

SPENDING MONEY
FOR SERVICE AND
REPAIR
I don't
remember when I
started to use my
Macbook Pro. It
could have been more
than 10 years ago.
It was strong and
durable, never gave
me any problem, no
hanging and no virus
problem. But it was
defeated by only
some minute small
ants that entered
the key-board and
made it their home.
Slowly my Macbook
showed
deterioration. Keys
weren't working
properly. The
battery began to
deplete. Now it
needs a major
repair.
Lucky I have another
Mac that I bought
from my former
clerk's daughter for
RM1.2K. I have been
using it for video
editing.
Apple computer
doesn't come cheap.
To buy a new one
would be at least
RM5K. I know the
repairman would
charge me more than
1K. Changing a new
keyboard and a
battery would be
very costly. But it
is still cheaper
than buying a new
unit. The video
editing application,
the I-Movie, come
together with it and
it is free for the
Mac buyer. I don't
know when I will be
taking it to the
shop. Anyway I am
not in a hurry.
Spending money this
way is something
unavoidable.
Yesterday my
internet service was
changed from the
normal Streamyx to
the Unify broadband.
At the end of the
day I realized that
one of my handy
talkie was missing.
I never suspect the
boys who came to
install the new
internet system
could have took one,
out of the 7 units
placed on the table.
The walkie talkie is
China made, a
Baofeng. It is not
an expensive item.
But I detest the
poor attitude of
such kind of
workers. Comparing
to computer repair
the missing radio
cost very much less.
The major
expenditure will be
on my small car,
Mivi. I was told
that the timing belt
has to be changed
with a new one. That
would cost RM300.
The company
suggested that I
should also change
the water pump which
is about RM150. The
basic service of
changing the oil and
the filter would be
about RM200. Again I
have to do it.
For a layman
like me it will be a
pinch. But we have
to bear with the and
to keep cool about
the necessary
expenses. There is
always another
choice, don't repair
things and let they
rot. What I can't
prevent is theft.

ZAHID HAMIDI
You study his face
carefully and you
will know this man
Zahid
has always
thought that he is a
popular guy even
outside his
constituency. Only
if he cares to view
back his words and
deeds, the video
footings of his
speeches, the body
language and his
countenance, to
realize why people
called him a Samseng,
arrogance and
impertinence.
To accuse people of
living UMNO as
disloyal is showing
the depth of his
thought. He forget
that it all began
with UMNO who kicked
and split the party,
calling the whole
populace to be loyal
to an individual
than the party.
Zahid should have
advised Najib not to
break the party
apart.
For 60 years there
had been a great
enmity between PAS
and UMNO except
during a short
honeymoon period
with ASRI. Let not
be forgotten what
Hadi had said about
UMNO and to die as a
martyr. PAS even
said that UMNO
members were
infidels. And now
Zahid is talking
about a merger
either with UMNO or
with Pakatan.
Mustaffa and Anifah
quit the party as it
is moving away in a
different direction.
It has lost it's
principle path and
credibility. People
see Zahid as a
desperate person,
looking for a straw
to hang on. UMNO is
taking opportunity
to ignite fire
between Anwar and
Mahathir', which in
fact could be a
bitter poison for
Anwar. I can't
make a conjecture as
to how far Zahid had
approach Rafizi on
matters of Anwar and
Mahathir.
Zahid must also
understand of
people's judgment
made on Najib Razak.
They regard a judge
or a few judges are
just like any other
people. The members
of the public too
have followed
Najib's vase from
the beginning and
millions have passed
judgement base on
the evidences by his
lies, the time frame
of him making
statements, his
shuttling to Saudi
Arabia, his lies
after meeting Trump.
Whatever Najib had
denied before popped
out as the truth.
That's the reason
they did not believe
in Apandi and they
did not recognize
his judgment that
there was nothing
wrong with 1 Mdb and
subsequent
happenings of Kevin
Morais's death and
putting the audit
report under OSA.
For defending
criminals Zahid has
always been seen as
dishonest and
insincere, arrogant
and Samseng. Nobody
forget about his
writing a letter to
US court to
exonerate the
Malaysian criminal.
Someone commented on
seeing a Minister
rubbing shoulders
with local mafia
chief.
He was sure enough
that he would be a
Prime Minister after
Najib Razak. i don't
know what will
happen to the sneaky
Zahid. At least the
Islamic Party will
be putting up a
fight in PD against
Anwar Ibrahim to
gauge the party's
strength.
To me UMNO is dead.
The Malays have no
choice but to have
faith in BERSATU and
Pakatan Harapan to
build up the future
from the spoils of
Najib Razak.

WOULD I MARRY
AGAIN ?
Any woman who can
read my mind will
definitely stay away
from me. As I grow
older and older I
developed a bad
character trait. I
don't want to be
told what and what
not to do though I
may be asking for
people's view and
opinions from time
to time. More often
than not, I would
agree to them.
The joyous part of
my life today is
that I am free to
fulfil my own wishes without
any hindrance. What
may stop me and
setting limit is my
health, strength and
mobility. Women
friends always tell
me what and what not
to do, giving me all
sort of advice. I
couldn't imagine how
I would be chained
after anyone of them
has become my
spouse.
My wife passed away
in March 2015. By
now I am getting
used of being alone.
Time moves like a
lightning. A day
passed without my
realizing it. My
activities are
occupied with some
napping and resting
whenever I felt
tired and sleepy. It
was just yesterday
that I commanded
myself to straight
away drive to Arau
about 1 hour away,
for my dinner, after
the evening walk. I
changed my T-Shirt
and washed myself
with 1.5 litre of
mineral water after
the exercise. I
never did such thing
before.
How free I
was.
I know only a caring
wife will want to
ensure of your
safety and to make
sure you will not
waste your money.
However noble their
intents are I prefer
them not to utter a
word of advice.
Surely enough I
would be very
repulsive to them. I
know that I am very
selfish this way.
The greatest
disadvantage of
being alone is when
I fall sick. Some
acute pain may
strike me anytime. I
may fall and break
my legs.
It is a
horrid thought. I
can only pray to God
to take my life away
in a quick and
abrupt manner. A
stroke with
immediate death is
most preferable.
I may meet a woman
of my choice when
God permits, a
docile home maker
who is pious and God
fearing and good in
cooking. She can
discuss sciences,
history and
politics. And even
expound an idea. But
she will not tell me
what and what not to
do. I hate a nagging wife
.
My current
Indonesian day
cleaner would tell
me a tap is running
instead of stopping
it. Formerly another
maid of similar
nature would leave a
knife around. I
would distant
myself from such
kind of a woman.
Beauty means nothing
with such
undesirable
characters. You can
accost a kid for
negligence but not a
grown up adults.
But that is the type
of perfection that I
need. It is hard to
find. |

A
GOOD MAN
I have written on
the same topics time
and again. At least
I am reminding
myself to be
conscious and aware
of people I meet and
talk to. Other than
the criminals, a
selfish person is
one kind of human
being I hate very
much. A person is
selfish if he thinks
only of himself and
disregard the
feeling and the
hardship of the
others. He can block
and park his car
behind yours and
walked away for
hours. A lazy man
can work out to push
a qualified office
mate for the post.
There are plenty of
such people in the
world. It is hard to
say whether it is
innate only in a
particular racial
group, or it is a
global nature.
People tend to hide
their true
characters in words,
dress and hypocrite
acts. I wouldn't
even trust a man who
carries a bible or a
Koran or any Holly
Book in his hand,
nor dressed in
religious attires.
nor with smiles and
soft talks.
A good man can come
from any race, creed
and skin color. It
means being a Malay,
a Muslim, an Indian
and a Christian does
not automatically
make him a good
person. You can't
trust anyone with
money.
Being a human we are
not perfect. To err
is only human. But
we cannot forgive a
deliberate errors
that inflict severe
pain on others, like
running away with
money, murdering,
lying, cheating,
doing corrupt
practices and other
evil deeds.
In our context the
good guys can be a
Malay, Chinese or an
Indian. So are the
bad ones.
A true character of
a person can be seen
when the society is
in a desperate mode.
During flood time
prices would
increased
tremendously, aids
do not reach the
victims but hiked
away to friends and
relatives, prowlers
would freely take
people assets and
money away.
I have seen too many
bad people around
from all races and
creeds. |

NEW HOBBIES AND FUN
I still keep several
radio equipments
with me in case of
any unknown
situation that may
require them. They
may be additional
assets beside the
state of the art
communication
gadgets we have
today.
Cell phones and
internet are not
free to use compared
to amateur radio.
The monthly fee of
RM130 ringgit is not
a small amount. Yet
almost everyone owns
a smart phone. Many
foreign maids and
workers find them
beneficial and cost
effective to
communicate back
home using Skype and
Whatsapp
applications. Light
users do not
subscribe to
streamyx or Unify
but rather buying
the cards. They can
go mobile and send
back pictures from
wherever location
they go.
The visual chat
capability made them
close to their
distant families.
They don't have to
be introduced to ham
radio.
Never mind about the
fee. There are
mountain of benefit
we get back from it.
I uploaded movie
clips onto the
Youtube and enjoy
all the
entertainment
available to the
fullest. I look for
all sort of
information till I
am able to develop
application and
other soft wares. I
published blogs and
read e-books.
Ham operators
flocked to computer
chats more than
spending their time
on the air.
Chat rooms protect
us from rogue and
rude people. We are
free from dirt and
filths, roaches and
cockroaches.
Then there is a new
hobby that is
beginning to take
shape today.
PILOTING THE DRONE.
The kids fly the
cheap ones and
adults with money
will fly the costly
air-craft. The price
will drop and the
technology will get
enhanced as time
goes by.
I don't fly drone
like flying a kite.
I flew it to capture
the sight of
landscapes and
spectacular scenes.
They were awarding
and fulfilling and
inflict a great joy
in me. The fun of
flying drone is that
it can fly up to 4
miles and the height
of 1500 feet above.
But if you open the
codes in the
firmware you can
modify to make it go
higher till it
reaches the clouds.
Once in a while I
would go to ham
radio, making myself
heard in uncommon
mode of Morse codes.
Without Morse codes
ham radio is dead.
What is left is
amateur radio. |
