PAKATAN CAN KISS GOOD BYE
Amwar and company can kiss good bye soon. I
don't know where the PKR supporters will go next. PH is
disintegrating. No matter how strong DAP is the party will
lose the Malay support and will either go to BERSATU or PAS.
When Mahathir resigns and Anwar takes over, chaos will
begin. He can speak but he can't do the economic job. He
will replace Lim Guan Eng with somebody else also without
any consultation with anyone. I believe Anwar will lose the
Chinese votes as well. The Chinese will go to DAP.
I don't think Tun Mahathir will be active
after his retirement. It will entertain him to see how Anwar
Ibrahim will be dancing. The faster Tun resign the quicker
will be the chaos. When crooks and Mafia rise again, it is
Anwar Ibrahim who will be urinated while he is alive and
after his death.
You do not probably realize or know how
corrupt was Anwar Ibrahim before.
He will go to jail again. This time the
crooks will jail him under corruptions. PKR will be kicked
out by the masses.

YOU WANT YOUR WAY ?
If you choose me
as a leader you must be sure that I cannot satisfy
everybody's wants and desires. First of all the wants are
different and may be in conflict with the interest of the
many. Secondly the resource available is always limited. And
among you there are many greedy folks who always want to
have more than the others and would force me to plunder the
public resources for your own benefit.
You don't have to take me to lead you. It is
your choice.
I have had enough with people. There are good
people and bad people who always criticize and want their
ways. The stupid public elected them only to see a huge
damage that these devils had made. In my school our science
results had been very excellent achieving the 95% marks over
the years. I didn't care how the teachers conducted their
work. I knew them well as a good team. Then came a new
teacher sent by the state education department. The science
teachers came to see me reporting of the new teacher's
attitude. He did not want to follow their SOP, did not
attend the science committee meeting. This particular
teacher manage to get friends and convinced them in many
ways.
His friends came to see me as a middlemen to
settle the problems of the teaching of science. They told me
that science was going on the wrong approach. I asked the
teachers,
"What was the science result in the last few years ?"
"Below 40%", they said.
"What's the result then ?"
"90 over."
"Did you check this teachers' science result ?"
I told those middlemen to investigate this
teacher's performance in the other school. And I told the
teacher to leave for a new school where the methodology of
teaching science is good.
I worked hard to put this type of teachers
away. My science continued to stay per excellence over the
years till I left the school. And as the other matter was on
my school co-operatives where the dirty blokes were
complaining a a lot and ran away with the money after they
were elected to take over. I closed the co-operatives on my
own accord, chose a teacher I knew as efficient and honest.
The state co-operative aligned to national body under
Proffesor Ungku Aziz made a report about my closing the
body. I responded with a nasty letter, very nasty, till
Ungku Aziz asked that my school be left alone. The school
runs a bookshop and making a profit of nearly 1 million
ringgit then.
Yes they even reported me to the number two
man in the Ministry of Education. When they rang me up and
talked about the closure of the school co-operative I
said,"Do you think I am mad and I want to ruin my school ?
If you do just sack me out." Secretly they sent someone to
investigate my school and amazingly the officer told me
about what had had transpired and he was was very impressed
with the school.
Our school came out as a benchmarking school
in the whole of Malaysia.
None of those were my pride. But I am to show
you that a boss must not all the time to follow what others
asked him to do.
I really hate what BERSIH, the Bar counsel,
the NGOs and other organizations that was trying to force
their will on others as if they were the most perfect.
A leader is not to make all decisions by
himself following his own thinking. At the same time he must
be aware what's is good or detrimental to the society as a
whole.
Even if I put you as a leader, you won't get
100% approval from all walks of life.
Do not be too selfish.

LATEEFAH KOYA
Shukri feels that his mission has
accomplished. The people are still waiting. Those who are
well informed plead no leniency on Rosmah, Najib and his
accomplices. There shall be no special preferences between
these high profile crooks and the ordinary laymen.
Courts were known to be tainted, freeing the
crooks and incarcerate the innocence. People do not want
this to repeat. They want Najib be jailed and canned.
There is a limit to forgiveness. It goes
beyond this human world. If forgiveness has no limit then
God does not create hell. All sinners will be forgiven. But
that is not the case, there is still a judgement day.
The door to hell opens wide.
Najib'a strongmen who keep the money for
Najib must not be too over confident and think that they are
always under protection. Once the Jewish mentality takes
control of the minds of the Malaysians, they will hunt and
destroy these people whenever and wherever they are, even
with a new identification and facial change.
There are bound to be avengers. Only
the people can deal with the high class mafia class. So far
they are successful in corrupting PAS.
Shukri has done a lot. The task was heavy and
monumental. I have a great hope on Koya to deal with a few
top-cops and the few people in Finance Ministry. Sorry I
lost confident on Mahyuddin Yassin.

PLEASE GOD GIVE ME BACK MY STRENGTH
About ten days before the Idilfitri I
suffered from a severe stomach upset that even pushed my
lungs. I suffered the intense pain on the intermittent
nights from midnight till 10 am in the morning I even
thought I was going to die. The second day when my daughter
arrived home, I totally lost my appetite. I could not push
any kind into my mouth. All were tasteless. My body strength
faded. I slept the whole day.
A day after the fever I forced myself to
drive looking for the type of food that might revive my
appetite. Tapai, a kind of yeast, was not available. I drove
14 miles looking for Laksa and found it. I managed to take
in three table spoon of the dish. I didn't understand the
reason for my stomach's rejection.
Effort to consume more food intake on the
first day of the Raya did not show much progress. But I know
it is a little more than the other days. There is no more
unbearable stomach pain like those other ten days. The
toiletry has not return to normal yet. But I believe it will
take 2 or 3 days time.
Tomorrow I plan to go back to my jogging
track and start with a slow walk. My target is only 1.2 km,
and within 2 weeks to achieve back my usual 5 km distant.
I read about death on the recent road mishaps
of the Balik Kampong trips. 60 is not a few. If food is
killing me, others may die from other causes.
I don't plead from a doctor nor my siblings.
I plead to god for a fast recovery.

From Malaysiakini
Yoursay: At least, Apandi should be hauled up
for obstructing justice
YOURSAY
| Apandi obstructed justice by declaring there
were no wrongdoings involved in 1MDB...
MACC not probing former AG, says
source
Slumdog:
At the very least former attorney-general
Mohamed Apandi Ali should be investigated for
abuse of power, dereliction of duty, complicit
and abetting in former premier Najib Abdul
Razaks alleged corruption and covering up a
criminal act.
That should wipe the grin from
his face.
Apandi has no more protection
from Najib and Umno, so what are the police and
MACC waiting for? I hope his actions are not
swept under the carpet.
Roger 5201:
The AG is supposed to be the legal counsel for
the government of the day. He should act without
fear and favour in the interest of the country.
What Apandi did was not only
partisan, he obstructed justice by declaring
there were no wrongdoings involved in 1MDB in
the face of overwhelming kleptocracy.
Apandi should be investigated for
undermining justice, whether knowingly or
unknowingly.
Cogito Ergo Sum:
Unless Apandi has turned crown witness, it is
strange that he is not being probed.
He had declared Najib to be free
of corruption and denied that the Equanimity
yacht belonged to Malaysia.
He also refused to claim back
monies forfeited by the Swiss government saying
it did not come from 1MDB. Strange indeed.
Beeja:
Apandi and Twitter King (former police chief
Khalid Abu Bakar) were heading critical
institutions, which if functioning as they
should, would have mitigated this disaster.
Their duty and obligation are to
protect the nation and its people. Instead, they
actively aided and abetted the alleged thieves
and worked against the very interest they are
paid to protect and safeguard.
An entire generation is left to
pick up the tab for the 1MDB kleptocracy. Bad
behaviour, particularly in public office, cannot
be tolerated. Period.
Ipohcrite:
Yes, both the former AG and former IGP should be
probed for their dastardly roles in the cover-up
of the 1MDB debacle and protecting the chief
culprits. Otherwise, justice is truly denied.
Redmann:
Are we sure MACC is "independent" of the
executive and not dependent upon its good
graces?
All and sundry are aware of the
cover-up that Apandi engaged in to immunise his
boss at that material time. All and sundry know
that he is a flight risk which necessitated the
travel ban.
Apandi has a wealth of intel and
information on the operations of 1MDB, and yet
the powers-that-be intend to let him be.
If this is the New Malaysia we
were promised, then it is safe to say that the
rakyat was defrauded in giving its suffrage to
the Pakatan Harapan.
Anonymous 770241447347646:
MACC should investigate the former AG, as they
should know that in life there are no free
meals.
If he had rub Najib's back, what
did Najib rub his back with?
The record shows that Najib was a
very generous man, especially with the public's
monies. He was a Santa Claus to all his loyal
supporters.
The former AG would have been
rewarded very well for his faithfulness.
Caripasal:
It is obvious MACC is still practising selective
prosecution. Not all corrupt politicians or
civil servants from the previous administration
will be prosecuted.
Only those corrupt
politicians/civil servants who are not
supportive of "the new master" or "politically
worthless" will be investigated and charged.
A total revamp of MACC is
impossible under the current PM.
Anticonmen:
Some people can do the worst offences and get
away scot-free but others can be penalised for
trivial wrongs.
This is the sense of twisted
justice. Twisted leadership with twisted logic.
Anonymous 1689721435778173:
Indeed, a royal commission of inquiry (RCI)
should be set up to inquire into Abdul Gani
Patails sacking and the appointment of Apandi
as AG, and also the conduct of Apandi in his
capacity as AG.
Apandi free to attend stepson's
call to English Bar, his lawyer thanks Harapan
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr 2019:
Apandi now - We are very
thankful to the Pakatan Harapan government as
the right to travel in and out of a country is a
right of every Malaysian as long as the person
is not charged in court or has any criminal
conviction.
Apandi then - Bersih chief Maria
Chin and some others cannot travel although not
charged in court.
What a chameleon. The government
should not have rescinded the ban as Apandi must
know how it feels to be not able to travel,
although no charges were filed.
Fairview:
Claims of his fundamental rights being violated
sounds so pathetic because he didnt understand
that when he was AG.
Thanking the Harapan government
through his lawyer is at least an
acknowledgement that the BN government would
have just shut out anybody against the then PM
and his government.
Vijay47:
Lawyer M Visvanathan, you seem to be offering a
very profound sermon on the law, the Federal
Constitution, and the right of every citizen,
especially your client Apandi, to travel without
let or hindrance.
Perhaps you should have acted on
his behalf even during the regrettable time when
he was the AG where despite his office, he
displayed abysmal ignorance regarding, yes, the
law and the Federal Constitution.
On the contrary, he often strayed
deep into the dark side. |

I WAS ONCE A STRONG
SUPPORTER OF PAS
For a long time I supported PAS against UMNO
but not to extend fully agreed with Amanat Hadi or violence
action or even call other Muslims as infidels. I have hated
privatization of Tun Mahathir as I believed it would burden
the masses. I did not campaign for the Islamic party at all.
It was the time when I was so sure that Najib
was cheating the Malaysians and PAS went all out to support
his Kleptocratic stance, my trust on the party evaporate
immediately. I was told by a few PAS members that money paid
to PAS went through Hadi's son in law that went together
with the developmental projects given by BN to a company run
by Hadi's in law.
Then I traced lies after lies by Hadi and his
strong men. I began to hate Kelantan Chief Minister on his
treatment of the natives. To be fair I also detest the Perak
MB on an identical issue. Then came the slander about the
Muslims praying in the church, banning the the Iftar with
believers of other religions and even predicted that
Malaysia will be a Christian country if UMNO and PAS do not
rule the country.
I have weighed Tun Mahathir, Najib and Hadi.
None of them is in my favour. But Najib and Hadi are the
most despicable people I have never want to forgive. Hadi
can go all out to support a shameless and an immoral man
that even the world called the Kleptocrat of the worst kind.
And I always knew that God will not bless the mass
Sembahyang Hajat that PAS had been making several times.
How could an Islamic party resort to brewing
racial and social hatred among the Malays for their
political gain ?

UMNO AND POLITICS AND HAM
RADIO MALAYSIA
If you condemn a Jew killing a Palestinian
child, you are called anti-semitic. I know as I am
expressing my view, I will be condemned and cursed.
ASTRA was initiated to increase the number of
Malays in the hobby which was said to be controlled by the
non-Malays. That was what I was informed at the time when it was
about to be formalised. But there was no mentioned of any manner
of political affiliation. When the license B was approved
the members of different political beliefs hide what was
personal to themselves.
This was the period when the number of
illegal stations cropped up by a great numbers. And it
begins the pulling of influential UMNO strongman into the
hobby to facilitate some hidden agendas, and as the
protectorate of illegal radio stations and the licensee who
broke radio regulations. Even before 40 meter was approved
to the 9Ws we already heard Datuk's voice on the band.
Many clubs and activities were run on UMNO's
ticket under the leadership of these UMNO chiefs. Many had
hoped they could be given the A ticket without the CW test,
or at least able to go to 40 meter band. These Warlords were
seen as umbrellas to the illegal operators and the law
breakers. They were Kings in Malaysian amateur radio. They
can erect special repeaters, giving their own call signs and
collect money from the enterprise.
The other day on the Facebook it was flash
the word MELAYU to stress the race in Malaysia Amateur
Radio. It connotes the present UMNO-PAS attacked on the
Chinese. The pollution has become so very serious among this
special specie otherwise known as Taliban by our enemies.
But I had heard from somewhere that these
UMNO warlords are dying down. So are the followers.

HAM RADIO-NOSTALGIC PAST
Yes in the past people came and go. But the
band remained merry with jovial hams all year round,
carrying on obediently with the traditional SOP. In the
month of Ramadan 40 meter would be occupied until the time
was almost ripe for the Iftar. We did not have 2 meter then.
So 40 was our home. I though the whole scenario would last
forever.
During the fasting month Muslim hams would
return after 10.30 pm and closed the station when the band
began to close. Some went DXing. I never worked a station
that just gave 59 and 73. I chatted. English was the tool.
The DX band had been so good all the way for several years.
I was only using a 30 foot dipole hanging on a bamboo mast.
We talked to people we did not even know how they looked
like for years. Internet was unknown.
There was a Southeast Asian net that even the
whole world joined in. Anybody could be a net controller. It
went on for several long years until one Indonesian Ham came
in to tell us that SEANET was for the hams in Southeast
Asia, not for extended nation. It shocked us as this was the
first racism that we heard from a ham. And later ASTRA was
formed on the racial basis too.
This was the starting point where ham radio
in this area started to change it's taste.
Old hams began to withdraw themselves. New
value and ego took over the old philosophy. The past will
never recover.
I hope I could be at the next SEANET in
Johore Baharu to talk about the possibility of reviving the
old tradition. I know it will be very hard, extremely hard.

WE NEED A NEW PARTY FOR
GE15
PAKATAN HARAPAN has let the voters down. The
last was the Home Ministry's blind action on giving too much
leeway to Apandi Ali who was seen as an accomplice to the 1
Mdb's theft. Apandi was even abetting Najib, putting a thick
steel wall to protect the man who plundered our national
coffer. Mahyuddin's mentality and the mindset of our MACC
have disappointed the voters. He is allowing Apandi to do
malice on behalf on Najib in London, carrying out Shafiees
mission.
PH is not strong and intelligent enough,
giving leniency to crooks and criminals. I am not
disappointed about the promise of the toll. The voters just
want the government to take over and to reduce it just by 10
or 15%. PH is no different from BN then.
At this rate PH must go. But we do not want
UMNO as a replacement. PAS is worst than UMNO as it is
riding Islam for it's own benefit and it also propagate
lying and deceptions, twisting the religious teaching to
justify it's actions.
But at this juncture the rural Malays have no
choice but to revert back to UMNO and PAS. Many PH voters
will do the same. I am not happy with the myopic visions of
Mahyuddin, Rafizi and even Nurul Izzah who never seem to
understand that it was the voters who put them there to get
a clean and effective government. I never ask for extra
money, for the abolishment of toll or for free money. But I
hate to see the arrogant and the high handed ministers and
officers.
If PH fails to let their heads role, they can
brace for their demise in three years time.

THE ECONOMISTS AND THE
BUSINESS
When the Malaysian labour unions were
demanding for the minimum wage law and threatened the
government I immediately predicted it would be a darkness
for the country. What all the unions need is a big fat
salaries for their members and the extended retirement age.
The salary scales for many top posts are crazy and made us
see bitches and prowlers everywhere.
I don't know what the economists were
thinking. And I don't know whether we are aware the various
types of foreign investments in the country. Let me put it
in a simple term so that you can grasp the idea of a firm.
You set to erect a factory of goods X. Are
you selling X for the domestic use or for exporting
purposes. If the government force you to comply with the
minimum wage law, it will add cost and hence the price of X.
Obviously the cost will have to be bored by the consumers.
Domestic consumers will pay more. But the exported goods
will be expensive overseas. The car makers were smart enough
to make the exported versions cheaper and let the local
consumers pay for them when the buy the local X.
It may work in a car industry. To foreign
investors they would prefer the countries with the cheap
labour cost minus the minimum wage rule. Many Malaysian
graduates from USA's universities were employed in the
United States for their salaries were at least 1/3 of the US
citizens. The big firms chose China or Vietnam to
manufacture their exported goods.
Some business community would prefer to sell
cheap to their customers and will avoid workers who would be
demanding for the minimum wage. This is where labourers
offering lesser payments for jobs began to sneak in. The
willingness of the foreigners to accept lower salaries is
because it is better than having no job in their countries.
The whole enumeration system is not healthy
to our economy.
You did not hear any words from our
economists of the absurdities of salaries of people called
the CEO. Millions of the regular people have to work for 200
years when the MAS and GLC top people needs only 10 months.
No economies ever mentioned of the JUSA salary scales. I
remember in 1980s when the airline in USA bought by their
workers union and sacked all the high profile officers,
allowing the common workers to run them.
We have a bunch of greedy and dishonest
people who are managing the country. We have the greedy lay
people who are lazy but crave for higher salaries. Who are
running our economy ? The central banks and the other
numerous commercial banks, the business communities and the
normal workers and farmers.
If our education fails to mould their brains
then our sufferings will never end.

WHO ARE REALLY CONFUSING ?
This story is not to belittle anyone but
merely to remind the younger people to regularly check their
total health from time to time.
The other night at 3 am I went to the
bathroom used by my kids when they come home. I have my own
bathroom in the radio shack. I saw the water tap was
running. It must had been from 10 pm. I didn't say anything
about it the next day. Only at night as I went to check the
tap she came in and I told her the tap was not close the
other night. Instead of saying sorry she said it was me who
did not turn off the valve. I just keppt quiet.
On Friday my son messaged me that he had
departed Kuala Lumpur after the breaking up of the Ramadan
fasting. I asked him the estimated arrival time. He replied
that I should not wait for him. If he were to arrive late in
the morning he would put a sleep in his car. I did not sleep
early as usual. At 3 am I wrung his phone but there was no
reply.
At 6 am I unlocked my gate and my house. In
case he had arrived he could make his way in without
disturbing me if were to fall asleep. At 10 am, I didn't see
his car. I called him again asking his location. He said he
would be coming back on Sunday. That would solve my problem.
At about 9 pm just now he messaged me that he has arrived
and going round looking for food.
And many years ago we had a meeting among the
school heads and the officers from the Ministry. on one
occasion the boss to compute the future intake given by a
certain condition. I did the traditional method of
computation and mentioned the numbers. The principals who
were engineers gave different answers. i asked them as how
they derive at the illogical answers. One said sarcastically
'LINEAR REGRESSION.' I was not an engineer, lower in status
and we were always despised.
Our boss commented nothing. After the meeting
I asked my boss of the correct answer which my boss agreed
with mine.
It is not uncommon for the young people to
think that the older people are senile. Even my grand
children regard me as weak and handicapped. he other day
when their mother could not removed the water bottle cover
and I could remove it they showed their surprise, "Wow how
grandpa can do it...how do you do it grandpa..? "
I submit the older people are getting slower
and weaker. Forgetfulness is regular but we can still
compute our dollar and cents, and wise enough to spend them.

ATTITUDE
I started to write my blog in November2010
with a great deficiency in my English command. Even in my
GRE test score it showed the worst in language skill. But
that did not deter me from striving to express as much as I
could. I understand the word is called attitude. It is to
move on even without help, fearing no hostile environment.
In life the more languages you master the
more chances you have in surviving challenges and skills. A
few Malays might want to acquire the various language skill
like Indian, Chinese and English. Private firms prefer those
who are multi-lingual, at least English for the high level
posts. Even if you are running a busines on your own English
proficiency is vital for better expansion.
The worst attitude is laziness. It is
something driven by the politicians to make people lazy by
spoon feeding and giving free stuffs to the people. If he is
given the power, he will simplify alter the failed grades to the
passing scores, replace tests to be held in English to Malay so that
the candidates can pass without having have to study hard. I
never approve such bad attitudes even among my family
members.
Any student from Malay or Chinese medium
would be able to learn and converse in any other lingo if
his attitude is right. Nikolai Tesla was an Austrian. He
migrated and made a debut in the United States, There are
other millions of the non-native English speakers who did
not go to English school became very wealthy in the English
speaking countries.
Let me say blindly right on your face that
if you are a bigot to PAS and UMNO and submit to their total
philosophy your race will never be progressive and will you
will be lagging behind forever.

CHOOSING A SPOUSE
I can't remember how many times I have
written about this topic. I wrote it over and over again
after I made a new finding the types of men and women whom I
can be sure will make your life very miserable.
Avoid a woman who does not have any guilt feeling
when deceiving another. There are thousands around you but
you will not be aware by their sweet talks and other
artificial behaviours. It takes a long time for you to be
with them before you know their true colours. And you can
chuck straight away the women whom you first know that takes
you around the expensive mall and comments the nicety things
about a few hundred dollar shoes pr handbags. These are
called gold digger.
There are women who love to say 'what is mine
is mine, what is yours is mine...It the husband
responsibility to provide sustenance to his wife...' This
kind is illustrated when they always want the government to
provide them free of everything. Their excuse the government
has made a promise. It is not only you who should get rid of
this specie, even the private firms will not employ such a
person. If a firm goes to the extend whether you are on the
PTPTN loan, it will automatically reject you.
A woman who keeps on pestering and repeating that you need
to keep your promises is not good for you. Similarly those
who cannot see their own mistakes but insist on putting the
blame on others.
So far I have not found any woman who is
suitable for me.
What I am saying about women is the same to
men. A woman who is looking for a spouse must be selective.
A marriage is forever and till death we depart.
One Datin prosed that I should agree to her
choice of a spouse for me. I told her, "Find me a poor one,
live a simple life, pious, obedient and a good cook."
"IT IS
DIFFICULT," she said.

DO YOU THINK NAJIB IS
POPULAR ?
In the last two By-Election in Malaya the
Malays voted against PH. It was not because they love Najib
but they were unhappy with UEC and later on Matriculation
issues. I believe this will carry on till the next GE15.
If you observe, Najib's supporters will be
finding where the Malays like to gather. The most recent was
at the Penang Nasi Kandar. And they will bring Najib to the
spot to show as if the crowds flocked to welcome him. And
this technique will continue to take place.
To the principled and well informed Malays,
no amount of Najib's act would change their stands. They
will still hate despite some might vote against PH. The
Malays perceived that PH will kill the Malays. And even the
palace said that the race will become slave in their own
country. I believe UEC was demanded by DAP but the
matriculation issue was poured by UMNO to incite the
Chinese.
There is an effort to publish Najib's Nasi
Kandar event on the Facebook. But there were filled with bad
remarks on him. Najib's stealing of KWAP's money was clear
despite all the spinning. Only PAS will say it is alright to
steal, giving arguments of all sorts.
It is an irony that Najib's court proceedings
do not the right way. Najib goes to court one day and he has
14 days of holiday. Then he goes to court for three days, he
will be given 7 days of holidays. And people began to see
CASH IS KING is happening again, for Najib still have
billions in the country stashed in his close friends house.
His fate will be ascertained as the
proceeding take place. It will dwindle as the money is seen
to be stolen, no matter how great the spinning goes on.
Remember when Najib was said to be shocked and surprise to
see too much money in his account ? That was the time he
sacked Ghani Patail who was on the course of charging him on
the SRC money, and kicked his deputy out.
Such a criminal cannot be made a leader. It
is this what all the PAS-UMNO leaders must accept. Otherwise
the Hudud Law of PAS will cut back their tongues for lying,
and probably their hands for supporting thieves.
UMNO must not have a second thought about
Najib. I may agree that he is smart but how come 1Mdb's loan
have to be paid by the government ? Judges and Ministers
must not lost sight of the reality. If you take a crook in
the same team as a witness, what can you expect ? So far
these crooks are trying to make the judges lose their sight.
You see who is hung with the killing of Kevin
Morais ? Are you being hypnotised ?
Those who see the truth will not support
Najib anymore. If he makes Nasi Kandar for them, they may
rush for the delicacies.

THE MALAY DISUNITY
His Royal Highness the Sultan of Selangor is
concerned about the conflict and disunity among the Malays.
Let me remind the Malays that this is not a new phenomena.
As early as the late 50s one group of Malays called the
other infidel. The place for these infidels is only HELL.
This was a national phenomena. There should be no marriage
between the two groups. They were not allowed to enter their
respective villages and the houses. If their wives showed
any sympathy for the infidel group the marriage would break
down the 'talak' will dropped. Even the blood of the other
Malay was 'halal'. And they must be slaughtered.
Today we hear there are billions of ringgit
being challenged by the mother of a decease. Where did the
money come from ? Millions moved into personal account which
had been denied and several Ministers were sacked for asking
the questions. People followed closely the DOJ report and
discovered the multi-layer of cash movement to camouflage
the theft. Yet the crooks drew a lot of Malay supporters.
And the Malays who stood by their principles. How could HRH
expect the Malays to unite ?
At the lower level there are scammers,
cheaters, thieves, liars, drug addicts and pushers, crooks
and people who run away with their loans. Being a Malay is
not a passport to be a criminals. It hard to figure out how
a victim of a crime act can hug and kiss his carnivore.
One group of Malays are sullen and reticent.
If they don't like the authority they will wait for
appropriate time to put a new one. The other type is roaming
around inciting and giving hate speech. Not all the Malays
love them.
In short there are good Malays and bad
Malays, good non-Malays and the bad ones. the choice of
friendships is yours.

WHEN EMOTION FLAIR
Adib Adam was found dead. The Malays are made
to believe that he was killed by the Indians. That's all I
know. But that isn't all. UMNO jumped in incitings so that
the AG should resign for his interference with the inquest.
UMNO has a different agenda, to save the ex-Prime Minister
and at the same time is campaigning against the
Indians and the Chinese to ensure they will have enough
support to come back in GE15.
I would have guessed the temple and the
Indians must have frequented to Tommy Thomas residence
requesting the case to be closed. It is a mere conjecture.
Even if Adib was murdered the government or
the opposition parties have to name the murderers. Surely
the Indians will say NO. What are the Malays to do ? To
declare war on the Indians ? To call the voters to oust Tun
Mahathir ?
Most Muslims believe that birth and death is
in the hand of God. And nobody can pinpoint who caused the
final strike. If it a fate then it is a fate. There were
several helicopters and plane that carried VIPs and
Ministers exploded. People suspect sabotage. Tun M's plane
too was sabotage before GE14. Whoever went out to protest or
even made an inquest ?
When emotion flair and is controlling us, we
have transformed into a savage.
Hw many PAS and UMNO members are pro
Palestinians ? Then go to Israel and fight against the
hatred enemy. Remember the Memali incidence ? It was Hadi
who was responsible and he throws the blame on Tun Mahathir.

NAJIB DEFENCE
If you noticed Najib called the same
witnesses twice and asking the same questions as before
except for the Dr who banked in the money into Najib's
account who added that Najib was shocked to see the extra
money.
If this man had banked in the money and Najib
told him that he was shocked, didn't he tell Najib that it
was him who banked in that money. This Dr had been lying
through his teeth. Who is this man to the ex-PM ? He is as
good as Apandi, the hand picked man by Najib. The observant
voters are never wrong about the Kleptocrat.
The crooks used the same line of defence;
don't know, not aware, if I have known,
gifts, donations. You see this in the NFC's case
where the whole members of the family do not know what was
going on. And the great Najib on Donations. Djo Lo on gifts
from the rich parents. DOJ never bought what Djo Lo was
trying to sell. Our Malaysian judge bought what the NFC
liars were saying.
The time and the delay of Najib and Rosmah's
cases are much wanted by the defence. My conjecture is not
wrong to say that they are going to manufacture evidences as
they used to do. We remember when questions were asked where
so much money went to in the 1 Mdb's case, they came up with
the answers, matching the total incredibly.
Najib is lucky that he is in Malaysia that he
escaped charges on the murder of Hussein Najadi and Kevin
Morais. If this is China or North Korea he would have been
shot 20 times even after his death.

AT HOME I AM CALLED STUPID
At home I am called stupid. At least that was
what they
called me on the Ham Radio and among the Ham Radio
operators. I responded admitting that I was not as
smart as the rest, and dumb as well. When I ponder about it,
it was just like a jest and enjoyed it as fun. Some people
simply feel they are the smartest lots. When I went to
school in Indiana, there were Malaysians trying to find out
my grade scores, the CGPA, wherein I had no interest in
theirs. Then everybody was trying to tell everyone else of their
4 flat.
As a student I had friends of various
academic standard; PHD candidates, a double Masters students
and the normal guys like me. We were so jolly, respected
each other and nobody ever uttered the word STUPID to
anybody.
At home I have nothing hanging on my wall like the
pictures of my graduation and commencement. There os nothing to show
of my educational experience. No grandeur to depict. The reason
is simple ie. I am just an ordinary man.
In the 80's I wrote to Indiana University
applying for a scholarship to do a second Master degree
program in Computing. The university replied asking me to
write to the computer department for the placement. I gave a
long thought about it. I decided not to be selfish for I
just had returned from the school in 1983.
The Ham operators even laughed at me when I
studied the linear amplifier circuit as if I was trying to
read Greek language. I still wonder whether they could
understand the flow of electrons in a diode, triode and
pentode, or the function of a bias resistor. Would they
made fun of me if they really know the electrons and the
vacuum tubes ?
I just read a remark in a social media,
"Can't speak English. Can't speak Mandarin. Want to have
everything..." That's how we may look at others and others
are looking at us.
Many a time we are trying to show our
prowess, smartness to the world without realizing that we
are making fools of ourselves. Today we used the media and
broadcast the stupidity of other people days in and days
out, boasting and bragging of our excellent minds superior
to all the others. The greatest point is that we
want the rest of the populace to follow our characters,
habits, attitudes and styles.

SHOW YOUR LOVE TO YOUR
SPOUSE WHILE YOUR PARTNER IS ALIVE
I cried hard from time to time when I
remembered my late wife. I wish she is alive even in her
sickness and bed ridden. I regretted I had not done much and
lost my temper at time. But I took care of her, nursing her
for more than 5 years at her weakest moment. Still that was
not good enough. I should have been patient all the way till
her last breath. It is too late now to show how much I love
her.
We are only human. Even than there is a limit
to your action and anger. You are not to be violent, not to
hurt them physically and mentally. Love does not come from
your mouth but from your hearts and deeds, the care and
sacrifice, honesty and sincerity. Those are enough to show
your love. Do it when your spouse is alive, else the regret
will haunt you for the rest of your life.
My wife could not manage herself at all. She
could not stand or walk. But she entertained me by telling
me stories. She had a sharp memory. That's the reason I like
to drive her along wherever I went to. Her narration killed
all the boredom.
Before she passed away I asked for her
forgiveness and she for mine.
The late P.Ramlee's song 'Gigi dan lidah lagi
tergigit' ( even our teeth at time bit our tongue ) has a
deep and profound meaning. The relationship will always come
to term at the end of the day. And one has to always beware
of the third party who are more likely to see one's
separation with the spouse by pouring more fuel and igniting
it and laughing all the way.
The best of a marriage is 'till death we
depart'. Don't blame anybody if you fail. There is something
missing in your life if you are not married, divorced and
continued to stay single the whole of your life. You miss
something that is called forgive and forgiven, the happiness
of taking a good care of your spouse in health and in
sickness.

THE END OF TIME
They chose their own lives, rejecting our
advice and created their own path. There is nothing that we
can do and hope they would live a wonderful life forever. I
have had such an experience with my kids who told me right
in my face that I should not interfere with their future. I did.
I never ask even a single pittance from them and they know I
can always manage myself. I shall survive till my dying day,
enough sustenance endowed upon me by the God Almighty, the
God of all faith and race.
But my kids do not cast me aside altogether
though our brain waves are not synchronized. They are
worried about ny health and fear of my disability to manage myself.
At 72 I am not as agile as I was at 30. I clean my house and wash my
clothing. I even do my own cooking.
I have declared to myself that I am a
solitary man now. I like to be alone. I do not want to stay
with my kids, neither do I want them to bother me. If they
have any problem they must not burden me with them.
That was what they wanted and spelled to me years ago. I promise to
myself that I will get myself disappear if they were to
bear the consequences of their doings.
Social life is becoming more and more
difficult and complicated these days. People are losing
their values and morality. They steal in subtle ways by
millions and deny them. They continue to lie without guilty
conscience. They find it convenience to use religion for
their own benefit, and as a tool to gather support. You
don't know who are the good guys and who are the crooks. All
foxes are dressing in sheep clothing.
Dress and Quaran in hands have never
impressed me. Drug pushers have been known to carry the
Holly Books in their sleeves like American drug dealers
donning a big cross on their chests. They thought God would
forgive them for every crime they committed.
The behavioural patterns of mankind are
diagnosed as the sign of the end of time by the believers,
both the Christians and the Muslims alike.
Compare the filial piety before the age of
Western civilization and that of today there is a mark
difference. Family separates. Parents named their neighbours
as bequests of the properties. They pointed at the same sex
marriage, free sex, nudities, drug usage and the earth is
taken over by the demons. The diminishing filial piety is
one of them.

LANGUAGE SCHOOLS
It is not necessary for a person to master
all of the languages of the world but there should be people
of a country who can speak all of the languages of the
world.
I was amaze with the Cambodians when I
visited the country wherein the tourist guides were
explaining to their groups in different lingos. While I was
in Beijing a group of American boys were conversing in
Mandarin while on their shopping spree. And on my recent
visit to Semporna I asked the tourist guide of where about
he picked up Mandarin as his fluency amazed me.
The Chinese could speak almost all of the
world's language like the Americans. They have foreign
language education. In the USA it all began during John F
Kennedy's era after the Russian sent out their first
Sputnik. I can't say about the Chinese.
If the government is willing to provide
funding I would set up a language school using the native
speakers to be the teachers. A student is to study 5
languages, physics (theory and practical), mathematics,
history, chemistry and religious education. The entry level
is Form 1 and ends up at form 5.
Private funding would be better off to ensure
of no complaint of dissatisfactions from the parents blaming
the government of any unfairness. I prefer a full freedom of
curriculum design without government interference. We
provide a language pool for the tourist industry and other
business organization.
The Chinese is smart enough to use this
resource to advance and expand their business worldwide.
Within a short time Chinese economy would excel the rest of
the world. There is no doubt about it.

A MUSLIM
A Muslim is not a Malay. But a Malay can be a
Muslim. It is not in the name, race and language or dress.
It is in a person's heart about the Oneness of God and His
Prophet. He follows the teaching of his religion without
having to show to anybody of his belief. A poor Muslim is
not persuaded to visit Mecca or going for his pilgrimage. A
rich Muslim needs to go for his pilgrimage ONCE in his life
time.
God is not in Mecca. A Muslim can talk to his
God from anywhere, in his small room or in the remote jungle
of Borneo for God is everywhere. A sinner can repent
wherever he is. Surely for a person who had been to the
Holly Land of Mecca several times, and blaming the
non-Muslim for holding his passport to prevent him on the
same trip is having an ill intent feeling in his heart. His aim is to
make the Malays hate the non-Muslims.
A virtue blooms when something good is done
to animals and other human beings regardless of their race
and creeds. He does not lie, gloat, cheat, steal and distant
himself from corrupt practices. He has the element of shame
and has a moral virtue.
God will answer his prayer whenever and
wherever he is. If God does not wish to answer it, no matter
where he is his wish will not be granted.
A Muslim does not belittle women or placed
them under the second class citizens. He does not forbid any
Muslim woman to be a Minister, a Chief Minister or even the
Head of of a State. He treats them with love and respects. I
am not going to say anything about women's achievements in
this small space. You can always find out by yourselves.
If a Muslim man thinks he has done a lot of
good deeds to a lot of people, and that he believes in God
strongly, it is a good news for him, that the people will
pray for his well being all the time in great numbers. Is it
necessary for him to go mad, running amok, cursing his
enemies for barring him going to Mecca ?

MAD MAN SHOUTING
A mad man has nothing to lose even if he
walks naked in public or cursing hell to passersby. He may
even challenge you to fight. Just ignore him. If it is
entertaining enough, just smile and laugh at yourself and
continue with your chores.
A man without shame is as good as animals,
any animal. He does things at the wrong place and time. Dogs
and chimpanzees are more intelligent and worthy as pets than
a man, while it is too dangerous to take a mad man in your
house.
So far I have not seen a normal man fighting
against a mentally disturbed person. The most famous unsound
person was Chad Gila, existed during the First Prime
Minister's era. He did not a quarrel with anybody but almost
ever man would give him some pittance. He took the coins and
gave them to children. He has passed away. The second I saw
in Alor Setar was Harun Gila, also has gone to meet God.
Harun never shout or yell at people. He would tie a red
cloth on his forehead and wore a black dress as an attire,
no coat or necktie limke some others.
I would like to suggest to you to buy a
popcorn and watch a madman to entertain yourself.

OUR ANCESTORS ?
Darwin said that humans' ancestors are
monkeys. I don't know from which particular specie. Slowly
we begin to learn that there are
many different types of
moneys;
bourbons, chimpanzees, Orang Utan and about
fifty more.
Marmosets
Tamarins
Capuchins
Darwin's theory is oppose to
the God's creation story where Adam was created from the
earth. This makes a very interesting observations to seek
whether Darwin was right, examining from the genetic flows
of chromosomes that may be pictured by human behavioural
traits.
What manners of human
behaviours could be drawn similar or identical to monkeys ?
You really have to make a long closer examination. But I
know that animals have territory and among the same kind
there occur fights to head their areas. The weaker animals
are always on the run and at the mercy of the stronger ones.
I also know that monkeys steal from people and from their
own kinds. The weak would always submit to the stronger
ones.
It has to take the whole
animals types to compare to human behaviours. It would be
unfair to the fellow humans since their ancestors were only
monkeys.
Believing Darwin means men
from all walks of life are one and the same and equal in
status. But believing in Creation will make us see humans of
different strata and divisions; the descendents of prophets,
Emperors, Alien from the other universe and even the magical
power of sorcerers, the vomiting of the white cows and the
sea-serpents. Some even say that a man is God's disguise.
The evil deeds of human come
from Satan, not from the animal ancestry. Thus a man brag,
having an infinite lust and greed, crazy for power, arrogant
and act like hooligans and barbarians. We don't see these
only among the Malay race but from all over the world. At
the moment Trump fit both the Creation theory and that of
Charles Darwin.

TMJ WANTS TO BE RESPECTED
Many of us are still sleeping. We think
everyone does respect and adore us due to our social status.
position, profession or wealth. TMJ wants people to know
that Mukhriz Mahathir did not bother him at Pahang palace.
Now we have known and Malaysiakini does not open it to
discussion for fear the abusive retaliation on Johor Royalty
by angry readers.
UMNO and the Royalties should by now realize
the feeling of the rakyat on their kings. It is sad if they
are still sleeping and are not sensitive enough to know it.
Why not TMJ find the truth by suggesting Referendum to have
Republic or Constitutional Monarchy. Let the advantage be
given to the Monarchy by allowing the Malays to make the
choice.
Mukhriz is a Chief Minister, a man of a
higher status. Why not TMJ comes to Kedah without any
bodyguard and be among the ordinary lowly men. You can guess
a thousand and one things that can happen to him. And
believe me he may even be arrested if he is spotted
travelling to Europe.
Only those who are desperate with money and
hope they would get tons of cash would do the apple
polishing job.
If the Johor King is so sure that the
Johorean loves him then try to reduce the referendum voting
only among the state inhabitants, again only reduced among
the Malays. It would be good to see how the populace
perceive with "I am People's slave" and the "Johor Race".

THE STRINGENT DRONE LAW IN
USA
The Drone Law in the United States is very
strict and stringent. One of it says that the drone must be
within line of sight of the pilot, meaning it must be
visible. I cannot see a drone 300' away, totally invisible
though it is not too far away. The Americans love to fly
their drones more than 2 miles away. I wonder whether a 5000
dollar binocular could make it visible.
Almost all drones used are Chinese, dJI being
the most popular and now in competing against Mavic Pro
which is said to be Americans, but also belongs to the
Chinese company. Billions of American dollars find their
conduits to the Middle Kingdom. The total balance of payment
favoured the Chinese.
The only way to discourage the Americans to
pick flying drones as their hobby is to put a stringent
rule. Many drone flyers were given tickets for flying on the
private properties and at height above 400 feet. The
distance and height limitation seem to be working well and it
will slowly kills the interest. The flow of US money to
China would be controlled a little bit.
USA is also waging war against the cell-phone
maker, the Huawei. Huawei is cheaper and bigger than Apple.
I many ways it is better than the American brand which is
also bad in it's Bluetooth system. File transfer in Apple
need to go through Itune but in the Android it can be
executed through the Bluetooth protocol as well as the OTG
thumb drives. I still have an iPhone4 and an iPhone6. But
they are the pariahs of the cell phones. I used Oppo instead
and Samsung as my secondary communication gadget.
We can somewhat figure out why the drone
regulations are very stringent.

IS ISLAM PROPAGATING LIES ?
I don't condone any political party. If
wrongdoing was done I would oppose it regardless whether it
was from Haji Hadi or Tun Mahathir. I see stupid people from
both parties, the ruling and the opposition.
I read many postings on the social media
blaming the PH government on many policies to undermine
Islam and the Malays, describing in detail the evil of those
policies. Most of the time I passed no remark but there was
one which was so long and absurd that I just wrote "Ha ha".
Those policies were actually created by BN
government way back either in 2015 or earlier. The selling
of the stamps of worshipping houses were fiercely attacked
by the PAS lawmakers accusing PAKATAN HARAPAN of insulting
Islam and aimed at making this country a Christian nation.
The damage has been done by such an attack though they
apologized later when pointed out that the stamps were
printed and on sale way back in 2016.
The well informed readers would ask "Is Islam
propagate lying ?" This will continue as lying seem to
become the culture of the Islamic Party. We all know that
the top leaderships had blazoned that Hadi won the case
against Sarawak Report. And a few months later announced of
it's withdrawal against the legal action because of the high
cost. But words that came from the East Coast was PAS has
enough money and could raise any amount from the donations
and party members when there were rumours of the party
excessive spending in GE14. The high legal fee therefore
should not be the main problem. Again Hadi denied he paid
1.4 million to the portal to settle the legal withdrawal.
The payment was a clause in the settlement. How was hadi
claimed no payment was made ? Hence there were lies to cover
another lie. Thus in the eyes of non-Muslims Islam is a
party that propagates lying and bluffing.
Then came the burning of Perlis mufti's car
by a PAS member who was caught and admitted the job was done
by several members. He was paid RM500. The party said it was
nothing to do with the crime and no one should relate the
party members to the party. Is this not another form of
lies and denials ? It was the party that blamed ASRI as anti
Islam. It was the Islamic PAS members who carried out
disgraceful crime. Was it wrong for the non Muslim to say
PAS is a Taliban party for having the Taliban members bred
by the top party members ?
PAS is a party of God, the champion of Islam.
God sides the holly political party, the members of which
will automatically go to heaven. How many time had they made
the Sembahyang Hajat that God had bless ? The mass prayers
asking God not to allow PH to win and making PAS as the Holy
Ruler seemed to be ignored by God. Why didn't God answer to
the holy Hadi who had met the Prophet several time in his
dream ? And mind you he claimed the Holly Prophet instructed
him to go to Iran. So he went.
Sadly enough PAS has many followers. It is a
tragic affair for the Malays to be very blind and moronic
bigots. Where God gives them the mind to think, they dispel
it. They brought disgrace to their race and religion. God
does forbid lying, cheating stealing, boasting and
corrupting.

POPULARITY ?
What do I need popularity for ? I don't need
praises or more wealth anymore. And I am just like many
millions of others who are happy with our present lives. The
reason why I posted my video clips to the Youtube were as a
storage backups and at the same time I want those foreigners
who happen to view my clips to have a rough idea of
Malaysia.
Unlike many other posting that drew tenths of
thousands and millions of viewers and subscribers mine only
attract less than a hundred on the average. Only one drone
footing draws more than 600 viewers. That made me wonder how
it captures some people's interest. Altogether I have 279
subscribers only.
I don't hunt for subscribers nor for people
to view mu stuffs. But to have 600+ viewers is great enough
for me. I just Wow to a few those who achieve thousands of
them. I don't want to emulate them on the presentation
style. I do it in my own way. I love music. So I embed them
in almost all of my clips. I do not talk because my
pronunciations and slangs might be hard to comprehend. I put
the messages in text form.
This is my most popular clip with 664 viewers
I bought the drone not to fly it as flying a
kite but it is for an aerial photography. My target is to
capture places of beautiful scenery in my country, which
means I need to travel far and wide. The farthest I have
been is Semporna and Bintulu. Unluckily Semporna ban drone
in 99% of the islands.
If the view is spectacular and beautiful it
makes me happy. You cannot value happiness with money. I
would watch the clip over and over again trepeatedly like
the Sandbank of Timba-Timba island Semporna. But it only
draws a hundred over viewers. My Youtube channel is man4855.
Somehow people seem to know me. A few hugged
me as if we were close friends or relatives. Yet I harly
remember or know them. Probably it was the nature of my job
that I have students all over. Those who accosted me I
thanked them. Those who have become hardcore arrogant
politicians, I ignored them. I don't want to selfie with any
Prime Minister or any famous person.
But I do not hate those who want to be
popular and famous. Human beings are not identical.
I don't bother whether the world knows me or
not, knowing that I have a blog like this one or not. I
don't need to be known and be popular. As I have repeatedly
said that God's providence is beyond my need.

WE ARE NOT DUMB
A Malaysian Ham Radio operator who works CW
with the distant stations has done a great service to the
nation and the people as he creates a good impression of the
total inhabitants among the Westerners. The Malaysians has
equal ability as the others. Morse is not a simple thing to
fetch. It takes a certain level of mental acuteness and
discipline to acquire it.
The amateur radio operators the countries
where passing in Morse codes are not a mandatory
prerequisite are learning and are proud to work on the mode
using their fingers and brain. This is the feedback that I
get from the Facebook group. Many put their CW contacts in
the Youtube. They are not shy working at a lower speed. They
call it a FUN mode.
You yourself will form a different conceptual
formations if you were to work an American station and a
Masai in Africa. You will tend to show respect towards other
people of different background and culture. Most modern
Europeans no longer regard the Asians as the Barbarians and
inferior. The Koreans, Japanese and Chinese have been
showing their prowess in the exported technologies. You
can't figure out How many billions the Americans paid to buy
te hobby drones to China, and the Androids as well as
electrical stuffs from Korea.
Imagine the Malaysians who use the phone mode
with an excellent English pronunciation and grammar, there
will be a question marks on our educational level and how we
acquire such a good English proficiency. It does not mean
the voice mode is bad. We can still promote our country
through our command of English language.
Remember, amateur radio needs to have a
standard of civility with ethical hobbyists. The dignity of
the radio fraternity should be preserved and protected from
the rogue and unethical people. If we don't care about
civility and sanctity and behave in anyway we want, then the
original tradition is being murdered. You will see people
running away from the hobby.
We do not assess ourselves. Grades are always
given by others. We cannot pass up the blank paper to get a
good grade. We have to show something to get some marks. In
general the hard working people will despise the lazy one,
who only want free and easy things.
We are not dumb. We can learn CW and we can
also learn English. At least we have to master one of the
two. And it is not hard to be ethical and civilize.

OBSERVING CHIMPANZEE AND
MONKEY
Zoo Chimpanzee in Thailand
Wild monkey in Cambodia
Lately I have been
watching a lot of video clips on animals and monkeys. The
top picture is the chimpanzees raised by humans living in a
zoo in Thailand. The second is a wild money in Cambodia.
They named this one as Sok. Sok is vicious with most adults
but very intimate with human babies.
The intelligence of chimpanzee is clearly
seen. They communicate easily with humans and seem to
understand human's commands.
The above zoo monkeys would keep the money
given to them in their pockets. When taken for shopping they
know which shop is selling ice cream and which sells cotton
candy and pay the seller without the owners assistance.
In Cambodia
mothers with small babies would go to the monkey place,
hired a hammock and laid out the mattresses. When Sok saw
the baby she would approach the little tot,
fondling and hugging and made
sure nobody else would disturb the kid. Sok would act as a
gurdian.
It was obvious that I would compare the
behaviours of these animals with fellow humans.
Wild monkeys still live in the forests. But
their homes were raided and robbed by humans under the name
of developments. The chief Ministers, the Menteri Besar, not
only couldn't care less of the monkeys they also dehumanized
the Orang Asli. Monkeys steal when they are hungry, human
steals even when they are wealthy.

MY NEXT TRIP
I am very excited. There
are two trips waiting for me. One will be on 12th July to
Uzbekistan and Kazakhastan and the other on 22nd August to
Bali. The first one is a package run by Tursina Travel from
Kelantan and the second one is on my own. I have settled my
plane and hotel fees for the Bali vacation. This trip begins
in Alor Setar and ends at the same place, whereas the first
one I have to put overnight in KLIA and the group will meet
the airport at 7 am.
For a single person, I
have to pay an extra of RM1K which is about RM200 a day. It
means if they were to give me a single bed room, I will have
to complain to the tour leader. Previously the POTO travel
put me in a single room and they quickly fixed it after my
complaint.
As always the excitement
begins weeks or months before travelling. I would have to
figure out the weather at the destination land to see what
sort of attires and the luggage size. If the climate is cold
and severe I need to bring thick clothing which requires a
bigger bag. On these days I prefer to go abroad during
summer, saving the weigh hassle. For both of these trips I
have decided which bag to bring and the type of clothing I
will be packing in.
I read about the drone
regulation in Bali. Bali is a drone friendly country. But it
is barred in Uzbekistan and Kazakhastan. Even without drone
I have to bring a video camera and the phone camera. Both
need charger and cable. As not to disturb the others it
would be better for me to bring along the camera stand. I
could capture myself.
I have to compute my
everyday movement to make sure I would not forget to bring
along the vital items with me.
For 5 day Bali excursion
the cost is less than RM2K. The West Asian trip is almost
RM7K. Each year I spend approximately RM10K just to see
places. I always enjoy them, observing people's culture
right in front of my eyes. It is also an escapism from
monotony.
Did I ever have friends in
the package trips ? When I was much younger I shared room.
We were gregarious, creating jokes and sang all along the
highway. Those were with the Mandarin and English tour, the
multi-racial tour. Lately I prefer to stay aloof, having my
own seat on the bus. We talked to each other. But many were
couples and going with families. I would be at the back seat
of the bus alone.
Every night I would
fantasize the trip, and the joyous fun. The excitement is
valueless.

ANUAR MUSA FALSE CLAIM
Anuar Musa claimed that
money and other items seized by the police at Najib's and
family residences belong to UMNO. Now that the police said
they have established the source of those items it means
Anuar Musa was lying in his attempt to wrest them. he had
made a false claim. Therefore he has committed a crime and
must be charged in the court of law. If found guilty he must
be jailed.
The Malays must open their
eyes of the great thievery of UMNO. It is a sin. The lost to
the nation is not in a million but in billions of ringgit.
They cannot pretend they don't know the source of the money
as it has been proved in USA and Singapore. If they are so
bigoted to Islam, they have to reject the stolen wealth
given in any form under any name. It would have been
different if the cash is from Najib's own pocket.
Remember Anuar Musa was
almost going to met God. By God's will he is still alive.
The longevity is not a credit to his goodness but it is a
chance to him to repent and to have some fear in God. Sadly
enough he does not change and continue to be arrogant and
over bearing. Equally wrong are those who voted for him.
Pretending to be dumb is inviting the wrath of the Almighty.
Remember, how many time
PAS prayed for the opposition to fall before GE14 ? Did God
answer the prayer ? Did Najib know BN would fall ? NO. Did
Tun expect he would become PM again ? NO. Did anybody ever
though that the Bugis warrior would go down the drain ? NO.
This is what we call the
will of God. This is what Najib, Anuar Musa and the rest of
UMNO never thought of. Yet you see these people continue to
brag, riding religion and lying and calling the Chinese as
Communists. Instead of uniting the people and be kind to all
races, they are trying to split them.
Once Najib goes into the
dungeon the rest of the recipients of the stolen money will
have to follow like the mice and the Pied Piper. Anuar Musa
has the MARA case in waiting. This is not a political
persecution but about theft, cheat, lying and false claim.

ONCE A YEAR
Once a year I usually
clean my radio shack. But it has turned to be a very
disorganized and unkempt store full of everything here and
there. Even my dresses are hung up on the wall. The sofa is
filled up with bags and boxes. There isn't much that I can
do about it but to arrange my radio stuffs to make it looks
a little neat.
Once a year I would take
an Indonesian made to do some cleaning and arranging. This
year I have to do it alone as the maid had betrayed my trust
for spoiling my stove, the weed sprayer and leaving tools
all over the place. The time of the spring cleaning is when
the Muslims are celebrating the New Year, the 1st of Syawal,
a day after Ramadan. Kids and grandchildren would be coming
home during his time. My daughter will be coming back on the
26th.
I know what my daughter
will do. She will clear of the mess, rearrange things, so
much so I will not be able to find my common tools and other
important stuffs that belong to me. I have figured out what I
will have to do first. I need to do a pre-spring cleaning and keep the important
belongings in a safe place; my radio shack. That's where she would not go
in. But there are so much work to do at so many parts of the
house. Yesterday I finished one section of the hall. Just
now I have completed 75% of the second section. And the time
is running out. To be frank with you, I am damn worried when
my kids are coming back.
Try to imagine an old man
doing the domestic services single handed. I think in two
days time I can finish 50% of the job, leaving the rest for
daughter to work on.
At least I am happy that I
found my axe, saw and some other tools back while clearing
the mess. My wife diary and other books of records are kept
intact for they contain plenty of information like gas
suppliers, electrical contractors etc. She had been very
systematic.
I don't have visitors
anymore during the celebration. Unlike before when my wife
was alive her relatives and friends would flock in from morning
till night, chatting, cooking and eating. So I don't care
about changing the house curtains which have been here since
we first bought them. I did however think of going to
interior decorator and make a deal for the new ones. On
thinking over, I do not see any point rejuvenate my home. I don't have many
days to live and I am living alone.
There is not an iota of
feeling to buy a new cloth. I do not need them at all. But
it came across my mind to buy fire crackers to play with my
grandchildren. It is once in a year affair.

HAPPY TO BE ME
I am just an average man,
may be far below it, in education, achievement, thinking,
ability and other skills and endowment. To say I am poor
there are millions more people who are poorer. To say I am
stupid there are more uninformed people than me. But I have
all the basic needs. And in some areas I am just a little
more above some others, like the watch I don, the hobby I am
in, the electronic stuffs that entertain me.
However I feel inferior
when I am in public places for I am always shabby and messy
in my attire and countenance, less active than all the rest,
driving a small dingy car, realizing how old and weak
compare to the younger people around me. But I could
complete my job, did whatever the others went out to do.
After all I do not expect flowers, salute and respects from
anyone.
When I am talking about
freedom, I am really a true free man. I make my own choice
of everything. There is no voice that question me about my
dress, where I want to go, what I want to eat, and what I
want to do. I remember a friend advised me not to buy a
drone for it was not for an old man to play with. There were
people who told me to save my money rather than spending
them on travelling trips. Another friend barred his father
from going out of the house.
I detest all the nagging
and fences put around me. I had been in those when I was
working. Working lives were never free and full of
restrictions. I will never want to work at whatever money
anymore. It will be tied up by the time and the working
hours. It stared at you with a vicious red eye when you are
dreaming of going for a vacation.
Some people who are
getting old were trying to fight against nature desiring to
be young forever, doing plastic surgery and consuming
expensive drugs, applying thick chemicals of cosmetics on
the faces, consulting shamans and travelled the world
looking for the fountain of youth. Still fresh in my
mind; my late wife whispered "Let me go..." as she was
sufferings from a very critical illness. I tell you she
passed away with a sweet and smiling face.
Her soul and spirit is
looking after me. I never feel so lonely staying alone by
myself.
I am happy to be me, fat
or thin, old or ugly. I don't need a castle or exotic car to
live. I write blog, fly drone, enjoy my vacation, going
round to see places, sending Morse codes over amateur radio,
eat what I like and do what I want.
Thank you God.

SOCCER PLAYERS WHO SMOKE
It is not that my message
was not delivered but because of the overbearing and
arrogant behaviours and attitudes. When I wrote about it on
the FB several responses were mean and hostile. I wrote
about the Kedah team players whom I saw heavily smoking and
at least two are still playing for the state. That was a
long time ago. Now there are many new players. Again I saw
these people puffing up cigarettes.
I notice this particular
player could not play a 90 minute match. After half time he
would feign injured and carried out.
Players who smoke would
slow down even before 40 minutes. When they cannot run fast
enough to chase the opponent's attackers they would resort
to physical confrontation from the rear, pulling, pushing
and kicking the rival's knee.
At least there were 60% of
the fans who paid RM20 or more did not know the bad habits
of their adored team, A coach like Robert Albert would not
put such a player in a team.
Smoking leads to decreased lung capacity,
which leads to shallow breathing, lower energy levels and
lower immune system function. It filled the
bronchioles and alveoli with tar
then,
because nicotine is a vasocontrictor, it narrows the
capillaries all over the body; it has the biggest impact in
the lungs, where the capillaries do the very important work
of exchanging oxygen and CO2 but the capillaries all over
the body are what carry oxygen to all your organs, so when
theyre narrowed, no part of your body gets sufficient
oxygen.
If you do not
believe it, just observe a few of our Kedah's players. That
does not mean players from other states are angels and
health conscious. Players who think they are invincible
would ignore the health facts. They forget that several
people of the same profession had died in the playing field.
I can't speak for
other teams because I have not seen them smoking. The
spectators can observe the rate of their declining agility,
speed and laziness to go for the ball.
Mind you I also
see these smokers playing for the national team.
If you want to
smoke it is your own business, as long as it does hurt or
affect the others. People like me can get sick at smelling
and inhaling cigarette smokes for 2 hours. People pay money
to see the good performance of the team. They came from all
over, even from the remote corner of the state with the family
members. And the coach fielded heavy smokers in. The
supporters
beat the drum so loudly, yelling and shouting their heads
off. They didn't know that they are being deceived.

TRIAL BY MEDIA, PEOPLE'S
COURT, KANGAROO COURT AND NOBLE COURT
It is true media has the
bias tendency in reporting. The KiniTV and Sinar Harian are
anti-government and the Jom Tv is the pro-government TV. But
look at the remarks and feedback that have the pros and cons
of the arguments of the portals like Malaysiakini, Sarawak
Report and Free Malaysia Today.
What were laid out by the
readers of Malaysiakini contain factual substances and
logical argument. If they are not true and contain a mere
slander the parties concerned can always rebut and prove the
fallacies of the slander. Only if the trial could be
translated to people's court where judgement could be made
and the guilty could be punished.
It is hard to find a noble
court in Malaysia. In the past 98% of the high profile cases
were taken by the Kangaroo court. The judge would find the
accused guilty anyway following the instructions of the
politicians. The man of law like Apandi Ali can make
judgement and it was taken as the truth by judiciary. Courts
had been regarded as dirty and filthy places when judges are
corrupt and insincere. As the media incessantly voiced out
that in Malaysia court allows criminals to walk free like
any other man. It does not happen in any other country. At
least Najib and Rosmah should be under the House arrest
despite the bail.
The sanctity of Malaysian
judiciary and the court lies in the people of law. The
people of law should not lie, cheat and fabricate evidence.
People are fed up with these people who are filthy in their
behaviours. Such events and excuses will not happen in
people's court. Lawyers must not trade peace and tranquility
with money.
To elevate the court to
it's greatest good, noble and divine the people of the law
must be good, noble and divine themselves. Can our dream be
endowed by God Almighty.

ARCHAIC AND FORGOTTEN
When I met my office mates
I usually asked them as to who are sick, dead and alive.
There were always news of so and so have gone to meet God.
Many were much younger than me. Retired teachers and workers
whom we have not meet for a long time were almost forgotten.
dedicated teachers like Cikgu Sharifah, Alaina, Teoh, Yusoff,
Othman and many more disappeared from my vision. I don't
know where they are and what they do. I will always remember
cikgu Madiah who took pain to send me food when I was sick
alone at home. My teachers had made me very happy in the
work place for their utmost dedication.
Yes, we never tickled each
other all the time. At time I scolded them and at time they
confronted me. At the end of the day we were friends again.
They brought glory to the lovely school and successes to the
students. Then I shifted to another school and met several
dedicated and hardworking staffs that gave life to the
learning institution as well. Cikgu Narmi is always in
contact with me till now.
I do not realize that
today is a teacher's day. When it is blazoned I they began
to emerge before my eyes like a fantasy movie, bringing back
the nostalgic era. I have not wished anybody of this happy
day. To me the glorious past is fading as we are growing old
and will blow our last breath any time. A few old forgotten
students posted their wishes. But there is nothing is of
value anymore. Somehow I would like to thank them for the
memory. To those teachers who are reading this FB, I take
the opportunity to wish them Happy Ramadzan Almubarak and
Happy Teachers Day. If you happen to meet the rest of the
teachers please convey them my best regard.

TEMPERING OF WITNESSES
I traced that Najib's
defence lawyers had tempered with at least two witnesses,
coaching them what to answer in court. That's the reason why
they want to have the list of witnesses and demanded the
prosecutor to tell rhem when the witnesses would be called.
Several times they would recall and re-cross examine the
same witnesses which I guessed after they have tempered the
persons.
No where in the world the
witnesses were let known especially the key who is sure to
have a final and deadly strike. Tommy Thomas was right on
the spot when he said that it was to the persecution who to
call and when to call.
Only court in Malaysia
allow the accused with a big crime to be free. In the United
States he will be under house arrest despite paying billion
dollar bill. Malaysian courts for a long time have been
heaven to big time criminals. But so far the court is seemed
to be fair. Fairness does not mean to allow secrets to any
party. I only see it is erroneous to all to allow Najib to
be free. To the United States the judges in Malaysia must
have been very kind and humane.
Najib is well known for
tempering with things and documents, even fabricated
stories, documents and evidence. Then they were implanted in
the shelves as real after destroying the original. Knowing
Najib, I know that he will pay good for his own benefit. If
he can pay the United States Presidents to influence the DOJ
and the Swiss AG, what is the witness compared to those high
ranking people.
Najib still has a few
billions with him. Hand him to us the normal laymen and we
will prove it and promise the money will be recovered. This
is a challenge that I make. Within 7 days Rosmah and Najib
with the rakyat we will get back everything without a hitch.
The people can return the duo alive and kicking in due time.
I have seen too much
corruptions and how the big time crooks did them. I
accidently heard the bargain through the phone conversation
as I was doing experiments with electronics stuffs.
Contractors coming to my house at night trying to secure
contract with attempted corruption. School heads tried to
illicit commission from me when I installed application
program at the institutions.
There are too many
dishonest people that I have met, at least half of them were
Malays and Indonesians.
We can always know whether
a witness is telling the truth, lie or hiding something. Try
to read the feedback in the Malaysiakini and assess by
yourselves. Najib loves to say, "I don't remember....I must
have forgotten...I think...if I have known it...." He said
he did not know Saiful and Djo Lo until the pictures of
their meetings surfaced. He insisted the money was a
donation from King dead King Abdul Aziz then changed it to
"I think..."
Lawyer with bad faith and
trying to temper witnesses should be burnt like a witch.
16/05/2019
Abdul Rahman Raof |
IF I HAVE KNOWN THAT...
Do you
remember the number of time Najib had said "If I have known
that....I wouldn't have done it.." The last I remembered him
saying "I thought it was a donation...." which implies
"...if I have known it was not a donation I would have not
taken the money..."
When the money laundering law
was enacted it already took account of such an answer. It
would be used as a defence mechanism. "If I have known Djo
Lo is going to steal the 1 Mdb's money, I wouldn't have
signed those documents..." "If I have known that she was
your wife, I would have not molested her."
We also
remember the story about donations and gifts. Najib said the
2.6 billion was a donation. Interestingly by a dead King and
now he said from Prince Turki. Djo Lo said it was his rich
father who made a gift of the wealth to him. I would make an
intelligent conjecture that PAS is saying the 9 million they
received from UMNO was a rezeki or sustenance from God.
It is still fresh in our mind
that Najib kicked Ghani Patail because there was a charged
sheet prepared by Morais against him and replaced him with
Apandi Ali. Apandi said, " Stop talking about 1 Mdb. There
is nothing wrong with it. Everything is perfect. Najib is
cleared from any wrong doing..." If Najib is indicted and we
arrested Apandi Ali what do you think he will say ? "If I
have known that Najib was wrong I would not have not cleared
him..." The MACC chief had said before, "I thought Najib was
innocent. I changed my mind after hearing from DOJ..." These
are all excuses. If it is in China or North Korea these
people would have been shot on the spot.
Najib has been a smart man.
He always choose individuals whom he knows would facilitate
his work. He called for undivided loyalty. He gave them
enough incentives; money by the millions, posts and other
awards.
If you ask me who is Najib's
mastermind, I would say Shafiee and Djo Lo.

DIRTY TO THE CORE
UMNO and
PAS are the two filthy parties, dirty to the core. Instead
of finding ways to recover the lost billions and a huge
loans made by Najib Razak, they are demanding for the new
government to find the money and to take the responsibility.
I am not a PH man. I never condoned any criminal, dishonesty
and people of devious characters.
Following
the current court proceedings on SRC case there is enough
evidence showing Najb stole the Rakyat's money in a subtle
way hoping it could not be traced. And from the study on the
global scam on 1Mdb, Najib is wholly and totally
responsible. He was the chairman of the body and the person
who signed for approval.
What
angered me most is the effort to corrupt and by influence
the top brass including the Presidents and prosecutors of
the world, believing that CASH IS REALLY A KING. There would
be an amount that will blind even a strong willed
individual. This is what I fear most will be undertaken by
Najib, to corrupt the witnesses, and judges and other
authorities through his lawyers. And to get the Royalties to
act so that he could go scot free.
Millions
suspect Najib had a hand in the murder of Hussein Najadi and
Kevin Morais. They do not simply accuse him blindly. Shafiee
was seen at the scene of the funeral rites. This man had
been running round fixing cases involving Najib, even on the
French Scorpeen case. Though hidden, I smell rats.
You may
call it nature but I call it God's work. For every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction, that implies to all
phenomena. The bad things done to hide and suppressed the
truth, will be having a force to push it out as much as one
tries to hide it. If you call it nature, only the truth will
be exposed. But if you call it God's work, the sinners will
received the punishment. Some call it retribution. Others
call it comeuppance. And others call it Karma.
There are
4 vicious UMNO men I hope will be strike by the lightning.
They are Anuar Musa, Tajuddin, Ahmad Maslan and Noh Omar. I
consider Noh as a gangster even when he was in school for
kicking his own teacher. I heard he even said he was a
lawyer in parliament. Anuar Musa claimed that the
confiscated money and jewelries belong to UMNO. Ahmad Maslan
asked the government to find money after his boss emptied
the national coffer and even paid him millions. And Tajuddin
is an extremely arrogant and vicious. Their words and
behaviours are recorded and kept in the world data bank no
matter whether they had erased them or not.
Now even
the holly Hadi who once condemned UMNO as infidels is
holding hands with the crooks and gangsters. We do not
forget the Red shirts that took to the street and beating
the Malays who disagreed with them. And I still am having
video of the UMNO crooks throwing stones at Anwar Ibrahim in
a mosque in Alor Setar.
Hadi is
riding religion incessantly using verses after verses to put
people in shame in the public. It was not a DAP or any
non-Muslim individuals who are shaming another human being.
It is the Islamic party members who are tirelessly dancing
to the music of slandering. In fact this is prohibited in
Islam. But PAS has a good appetite in it. They forget that
corruption is a great sin. But they accept the money and
denied it.

PEOPLE
It has
been several early mornings at about 2 to 3 am that I went
out looking for food to complete my Sahur final meal of the
day. There were not many cars or motorcycles on the road. I
will have to pass at least three traffic lights to town. I
would stopped at every red light though there were no cars
nor the policeman. It is nothing noble or great. It is a
matter of discipline. It is not because of the fear of the
law or the authority.
For your
info, not all but a few cars just overtook me and ran over
the red light. Rarely there were cars followed me and waited
for the green light. Of course I didn't care who were those
who thought it was silly to follow the rule at the wee
hours. Only the stupid people would follow the rule blindly.
What
benefit did I get from my action ? Yes there is something
that I get not in the form of material or awards from
anyone. The gift I got was satisfaction. The Thai word is
Kwamsuk (happiness). I choose to gather satisfaction through
disciplining myself.
People
are people. The multiplicity of habits and mental states in
fact make the world lively and dynamic. It creates laws and
regulations, the police and the army, the lawyers and the
myriads of others.
Of course
on many occasions I found drivers dressed in Hajis and Lebai
outfits
beat red light. It still puzzled me their mindset. Are the
traffic laws infidel in nature ? Are Muslim to reject and
disregard the law of the non-Islamic states ? Were these
people having distorted minds ?
The other
day I listened to a posting by one religious cleric about a
Japanese youth on a motorbike who stopped behind a car at
the red light. "If it is in Malaysia the motorbiker would
have overtook the car and moved straight even when the light
is not green. Islam is within the Japanese society." There
are articles entitled 10 non Muslim countries that are more
Islamic than the Muslim nations. They were depicting the
good ethics, the behaviours of mutual respects, the honestly
and responsibility.
People
who have lost their valuables in Japan might be able to
confirm that the lost things were found back at the
suspected places. And while I was there many young Japanese
helped me to walk to a distant restaurant without a whine.
Surely we
cannot be an angel nor perfect in every way. But we can
always try to do our best .

LIST OF MINISTERS OF
DEFENCE
Looking at the list only
the last minister is from Pakatan Harapan. The rest are from
UMNO. Till 2018 UMNO has failed the Malays and becoming more
and more corrupt. It is the party that carries the stinking
smell. Only when I entered the university of Malaysia, I
heard Hishamuddin Rais was telling about the military
purchasing stuffs from overseas at astronomical price. The
Speakers Corner was still alive near the library then.
The new Defence Minister
has discovered about the military land deal under BN. He did
not know that there was another one done under UMNO during
Albar's time. Albar took the post from Najib in 1995. It
could have been started under Najib or under Albar himself.
What ever it is, it was under UMNO. The purchase of the
Scorpeen submarine and the missing jet engine were directly
under Najib. I believe Najib used Shafiee to get himself off
from the Scorpeen kickback furore. And that led to the
killing of Altantuya by Najib's bodyguards.
If there are two thieves,
one is being caught and the other is not, the proceedings
should begin with the one at hand. It is BN who said 'a
thief is not a thief until he is caught'. It is the most
recent BN's maxim.
I am talking of BN, Najib.
That's why we throw BN and you out.
List of ministers of defence
The following individuals have been appointed as Minister
of Defence, or any of its precedent titles:

Alliance
Party/Barisan
Nasional

LOOKING FOR THE MISSING
RADIO FRIENDS
Once in a blue moon I
would scanned the 40 meter band which used to be the home of
the old hams in the country. There were numerous stations
from Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Around 7.080
Bob and his Filipino friends would be occupying the space
after coming back from work. The main frequency for the
Malaysians was 7.040 and the Indonesians were on 7.050. The
spectrum was always occupied about 5KC apart. The main modes
of communications were SSB and CW.
The old Malaysian hams
began to dropped since the authority allowed the non-CWers
to come on 40 meter. Today there are only about two old hams
are still active.
The missing old hams is
not the Malaysian phenomena alone. Slowly and steadily the
common voices from the Philippines and the Indonesia
disappeared from the air. At Jakarta Radio fest I overheard
the Indonesians discussing among themselves about their
Radio authority giving virtually free licences to the new
comers. I tried to monitor the YB and YC stations on 2 meter
band. None was heard. But there were plenty of pirate
stations network.
The 7.025 used to be the
Indonesian CW network from about 7 pm Malaysian time. Then
one day the net controller was scolding the other pirate and
whatever stations on top of her voice for causing
disturbances. After that these CWers went missing from the
band too.
On the same band I used to
listen to the CW chats between Japan, United States and
Australia. Towards the end of 2018 they too disappeared. I
could not guess the reason for the disappearance. It also
puzzled me.
I don't know what really
happen on the VHF band. The band was almost occupied by
licence hams and non-license operators. The enthusiasts love
to erect repeaters, legal and illegal. A license operator
has two call signs; one given by the authority and the other
created by them which were used to talk to the illegal
stations. In fact even the authority permitted a paid
repeater to be erected by non-licensees.
Today the buzzing came to
a sudden stop. Either the repeater frequencies have been
changed or the repeater owner does not allow the non-members
to use them.
Effort to locate the old
hams from this part of the world and from other nations are
very disappointing. A few might have passed away. But death
is not merely limited to the old hams, even the new ones
could die anytime. One class B licensee called the old hams
as 'the walking dead men' died first before many of us. And
I don't know whether the 'Babi' amateur operator is still
alive. Mind you that this 'Babi' guy has no respect for the
ham radio by calling others 'Babi' on the ham band.
On 23rd to 25th October
2019 there will be a Radio Fest in Bali. I will make myself
present and will try to locate my old partners from
Indonesia to exchange views and find out more what happens
to the old Indonesian hams.

WHY I SAY HADI LIED
Hadi withdrewn his suit on
Sarawak Report claiming it was too expensive to proceed. PAS
had repeatedly said that the party did not need UMNO's
money. They could easily raised millions from the members
within a short time. In the settlement clause it was stated
that Hadi had to pay to Rewcastle the sum of 1.4 million.
Surely Hadi knew and agreed to it.
PAS and Hadi denied about
any payment made. How could it be when it was the agreed by
Hadi to settle the sum. If he just didn't care about it the
court case would have been continued. Hadi had had to find
the amount stipulated. How could he said he did not know the
payment had been made ? By any reason or logic Hadi was
lying.
This is Islam brought by
PAS. They can lie to save themselves and they have been
lying all the time. PAS is not about TRUTH and Religion. It
is about money. Now they talking about Money Cartel in the
party, pointing fingers and trying to put the blames among
themselves.
As bigots, uninformed and
lowly educated PAS began to talk like a mad man, spewing
anything at all that come into their minds. If you ask them
the formula of Ohm's Law they will answer "Be close to God".
They printed T-Shirts that said 'JOIN PAS TO GO TO HEAVEN'
and even said so in their rhetoric. I purportedly asked
whether they were true. There were fiery response denying it
and cursing me as a DAP man.
Imagine an Islamic party
who put people in shame in the public. Islam strongly
forbids it. I remember vividly what Hadi said about a woman
being a Chief Minister when he rejected Wan Azizah,
belittling her as a third class citizen. Now they are
talking about Anwar Ibrahim and putting him in shame in
public too.
When you talk senselessly
with force and threat, using full emotion and sentiment,
people will tend to call you a Taliban. At least it better
than calling you a pig.
It is unthinkable how Hadi
can support Najib. The lies and spins of the ex-Prime
Minister had been listed. One day he didn't know these
people. The next day he acknowledge he knew them. He denied
having 2.6 billion in his account and wanted to sue the WSJ.
The next day he claimed it was a donation.
Hadi had lied and he was
caught with his pant off.

TRYING TO CORRUPT THE BIG
GUN
Shafiee
is trying his best here
Najib is well known for
corrupting the high level office for favour. Shafiee will do
the dirty job in this country. His gang of crooks are Djo
Lo, Tariq Ubaid and other Arabs would do the work in the
United States and Switzerland. They never rest and stop in
their venture. He will make an attempt to pay the judges and
the witnesses the amount that they would lose their sight.
Of course there is a way
to deal with these crooks which the PH government will not
do it. The angry voters will have to throw it in the next
GE.

GOING TO
HEAVEN
From the
many Whatsapp group I come to know many of my friends are
going to heaven. There were preaching and preaching, telling
us how close they are to God and advising us to follow the
path to heaven. In one there would be the daily sermons of
about 400. Only one has the element of science and
technology, coaching us how to construct electronic
projects.
The
Muslims and the Christians who never missed the weekly
prayers and congregations have heard more than 480 sermons
in a year. I am one of them. But I am still selfish, greedy,
and arrogant. Those who call us to be good sometimes spread
slanders and hatred. At least I met a few who cared only for
themselves. Surprisingly they talk much about God in the
social media. What are they trying to propagate ?
Do we need
to show to the world of our piousness ? An Arabic dress and
the Hajis do not impress me at all. When these people came
on the Ham Radio they started the Azan or the call for
prayer on the band. They rebuked those who spoke in English
and scolded those who did not give the Salam when joining
the group chat. Ham radio mind you.
God
decides who will go to heaven and who to hell. As a human,
we have to be kind to all, other men and animals regardless
whether they are Hindus, Christian, Buddhist or Jews. We
have to be fair and honest. We must not cheat and lie, rob
them of their lands and money. We must not inflict pain on
others. As a believer one follows the command and wishes of
God. Then we leave to God to decide.
I know my
duty to God and to the society. I just hate if someone is
trying to lecture me Islam and how to go to heaven. There
are things that I do not know and I asked my friend about
it. I am never shy to seek information on matters of faith
and religion.
Surely I
will detach myself from the Whatsapp group after the reunion
program is over after the Hari Raya. Let them sail to heaven
among themselves.

THOUSANDS DIE ALONE IN THEIR HOMES
I don't
know the real world's situation of the lonely death at home.
I know there are many Malaysians passed away unknown. But
there were articles and video footings of such Japanese
death.
Many a
time I talked to some elderly Chinese and Indians about
their families. It may be an isolated cases yet they prefer
to live alone without their kids. Adult children have their
own visions and thinking which may not be agreeable with the
parents. They never realize that they have had hurts their
mothers or fathers. Parents always forgive their
siblings but not all will be able to forget the past pains.
I prefer
to stay alone. There is almost a complete freedom to do what
I want to do. I have no restrain. I can avoid shouting or
yelling or even cursing which may unintentionally buzzing
from my kids. You know what a senile person can do, which
are never welcome by anybody.
The
challenges in life are about money, senility and civility.
Our current issue is about money. People can love, hate and
kill on money matters. As we become old the whole society
will regard us as useless Politicians belittle old men as
senile and incapable. Kids think they can shout at their
senile parents. Finally our standard of civility is
beginning to dwindle. We wronged the right. We right the
wrong. That's why we hear phrases like 'stealing is not
stealing until caught or the court says so', 'malu apa
kawanku' etc. We have no shame and no morality.
It is
these challenges that altered the world view of the younger
generation. The elderly can find happiness and peace on
their own. If they die alone be it. It is their fate.

JOHOR
RULER MEETS THE QUEEN
We
understand the emotional agony of the Johor Ruler after his
son's sparring joust with the Prime Minister. TMJ had
demonstrated his macho and spewing unwelcoming words that
also angered the masses. The public became so ruly in their
words and attacking the palace that totally crushed the
sanctity of Royal institution.
There are
only a few Royal institutions left in the world. Brunei and
Saudi Arabia still practise absolute monarchy. England is
struggling to maintain the Royal Palace despite some
suggestions to do away with the Queen. The English still
remember that they used the name of the Queen to colonize
and expand the British Empire. The gratitude and obligation
is still within the minds of the traditional Englishmen.
Johor was
the closest to the British. Sultan Abdul Bakar was called
Albert Baker. He was a close friend of Queen Victoria. His
personal habits and decisions were aligned to European ideas
and taste. It is not surprising for several Johor Royalties
married an English wife. They still regard England as their
father and mother. With the current issues it is just
obvious for the Sultan to find somebody to confide, to seek
help and advice.
But this
is the 21st century and the Queen does not have absolute
power over the world. She could not command Britain to go to
war with Malaysia. Why should England sacrifice a war just
because of TMJ.
It is
really hard and difficult because TMJ has planted the seed
of enmity. Voters already voiced for referendum or sacking
the Johor Temennggung lineage with the real Sultan. The
history of Johor which had been unknown is now been
resurrected and spread.
The Queen
will have to say "We'll look into it. You go back and stay
cool. Don't fetch up any fight with anybody."
The power
today is with the voters. Johor had to make sure the Malays
will side UMNO-PAS coalition works. If it fails everyone
should brace for the biggest trouble in the history of
Malaysia.
Between
the Queen and TMJ, the Sultan should give more attention to
his son. He has to open his mind and see what is happening
in the universe. He also has to know all the events that led
to the disrespect of Johor's monarchy. It is not about
Mahathir. It is about the will of the people, the voters.
What may be the peril to come.
Yes people
evaluate the meeting with the Queen. And we hope peace and
tranquility will be preserved.

ROSMAH
MANSOR AND AMLA
Rosmah's
lawyers submitted that Rosmah cannot divulge the source of
money she gets to buy her belongings as it would incriminate
her. We all know how Shafiee, Najib's lawyer, had been
forcing the government to prove that Najib stole the money
and that Najib was not a victim of conspiracy. It was in
fact a great joke. It was Najib who should prove otherwise.
AMLA is
the law to put the burden of proofs on the accused. That's
the reason why Rosmah has to prove of her innocence by
telling she bought those items with her money. If the source
is legal then there is no reason why she could not narrate
them. AMLA is not created by Tun or Thomas. It is an
international law that had been scrutinized after the
criminals had been finding loopholes to escape from justice.
Hence it would only incriminate the second wife of the
ex-Prime Minister if the money were from illegal sources.
Kickback was illegal. Corruption was illegal. Or she could
also lie.
Even
before the trial and UMNO was still in power, the first
answer given was Najib has a huge bequest from his farther.
But it was denied by his own brother. Then she came with the
answer she had been saving money from her young age. There
were a stack of lies coming from Rosmah and her second
husband.
If we are
innocent we can always provide a mountain of proofs though
one is ample enough.
She is
lucky to be in Malaysia. China and North Korea would have
shot her without charging her with AMLA. And she should also
realize if the government throws her in people's court she
would be stripped naked, put in a cage full of rats. And her
lawyers will be thrown to the tigers.
The place
to clear their names is in the court of law. It is better to
do it as quick as possible. There is no reason to apply for
the case to be struck off or delayed. Only the guilty would
reject the court proceedings. Neither the husband nor the
wife showed morose in the killing of Altantuya, Najadi and
Kevin Morais. Efforts to avoid justice are enough to display
their crimes.
It was
great that the crooks were charged under AMLA.

DON'T
ASSOCIATE THE MALAYS WITH UMNO
Says Mad
Hassan, "If UMNO looks bad so are the Malays." Sorry Mad
Hassan, Not all the Malays like to be associated with
thieves and corrupt person like you. Our class is not as
arrogant as UMNO or as cruel as some of the Kings. We have
witnessed enough actions by Najib and his party members,
sinning and lying, trying to corrupt even the Presidents of
the United States of America, bragging and thumping chest to
show his greatness.
The most
despicable of UMNO is the party has no respect towards God
and religion. It is somewhat claiming that money used by
UMNO comes from God. And using the stolen money to send
people to Mecca. UMNO is filthy inside out and pungent to
the core. Only crooks and the corrupts associated themselves
with the party.
We were
aware of Najb trying to garner support from PAS to save
himself from his crimes. He knew he has something to do with
the death of Najadi and Kevin Morais. He used part of his
stolen cash to buy Hadi Awang by the covered ways. Now PAS
has followed UMNO how to lie to the people.
The Malays
can always find another party to cling to. They have been
living long before UMNO came into being. Day by day the
party became so corrupt. I observed how my own students
became so arrogant and high handed when they were accepted
in UMNO's high posts. These people knew no respect towards
others and insulted whoever disagree with them in social
media and public domains.
Mad Hassan
can forget of his wild imagination just because he won
Rantau. The Malay voters were still shocked by the DAP's
Malaysia Baru move. Sooner or later the Malay will realize
what Guan Eng is trying to do to the nation.
To be a
Muslim is not to be a PAS member or to join the PAS-UMNO
protestors. To be a Malay it is not to declare that Chinese
as our enemy. There are more stinking Malays than that of
the non-Malays. UMNO can think of burying itself.

EXPERT
ASSESSMENTS
Now
we hear everybody is giving grade to the one year old
government and the ministers. Everyone fails. Unknown to us
is what is the assessment criteria.
I too
would want to assess others. To do that I have to look into
the mirror to see my own appearance. I ask myself whether
other people see me as what I am seeing myself. I thought I
am young but I heard others commented about me being too
old. Some called me grandpa.
In the
United States students have to make assessment of their
teachers and professors. The grades are published. Bad
lecturers got Es or Fs. That affects the enrolments in the
respective subjects. In a new semester professors who did
not attain enough quorum would be jobless.
Even a
multiple choice which are suppose to be objective can
possess the elements of bias. I can set up the objective
test to pass or fail my students.
Try to
approach a mentally disturbed person and ask him his view on
so and so. He can speak even better than Hitler or the best
political orator in the country. A person who does not
understand numbers and binary digits can talk sky high about
computers. There is a Malay saying that a person is so glib
can convince you about the flying elephant.
I can't
assess a one year old government but I can do it on the 61
year old ruling party governing a country. I need to
remember that other people too can grade me as failures. I
can't even raise my own family and made myself a doctor or a
lawyer. My Master or Phd is never a prerequisite to allow me
to assess others. I can have a view which may be false in
nature. Many tend to belittle the ability of women as
incapable, weak and inferior. The Islamic religious heads
are known to despise women's ability.
However
the person being assessed must not ignore the grade given to
him. He must ponder over his works, promises and the
services he has directly rendered. He is not to know whether
the person who graded him is an angel or a satan. He is to
gather comments and feedbacks from the social media, weigh
the authenticity. He then ask his friends and boss of his
performances and what he should do to improve himself.
Always
remember the basic thing of the modern political arena; if
people put you there, they can kick you the next time.

GOD AND UMNO
UMNO ministers,
during the GE14were saying that UMNO and Najib were God
chosen. Ismail Sabry elevated Najib to the level of the
Holly Prophet. "Going against Najib is just like going
against the Prophet." And in the recent Sandakan campaign
Rahman Dahlan said that God sends the party to oppose the
DAP.
PAS too related the party
to God. In spite of their coalition with UMNO the Islamic
party leader recently told the people that the only way to
go to heaven is to join PAS.
Is it not entertaining ?
Yet there were thousands of followers who became bigots.
They are showing clips on
Muslims being suppressed in China, with intent to spread
hatred towards the local Chinese. Similar things will happen
in Malaysia under Pakatan Harapan. Islam as such is under
threat. At the same time they are against the Rome Statute
which disabled Malaysia from complaining of the Chinese
atrocities, and the fate of the Muslims in Burma. The
confused mentality is beyond description.
The question is will the
UMNO people go to heaven ? PAS time and again in the past
put UMNO in the infidel category running Malaysia with
infidel constitution. So far there is no comment heard from
PAS leaders about Najib being the chosen one and UMNO is the
party sent by God.
Najib, Azees and Zahid had
been going to Mecca several time, showing how pious they
were. 1Mdb even sent the Muslims to make pilgrimage taking
turns. Were these leaders wonderful ? Pekan Wanita UMNO said
that those who do not support Najib are stupid lots. Some
even pawns their jewelries for Najib's funds.
If UMNO is God's chosen
party and PAS is a gateway to heaven then let them ask God
to save the Muslims in China and in Burma and Palestine. At
least they can organize mercenaries to fight against the
Communist government, and send covert forces to Burma.
PAS has made lying and
stealing halal. Money given by UMNO is the money from God.
Hadi has met the Holly Prophet and followed instructions
given by him. But the chosen one is still Najib.
