THE DENGUE AND PAPAYA

My friend was rushing to Kuala Lumpur because his son was suffering from dengue fever. With him he brought the product of papaya tree. He said he boiled the stalk. When he came back from Kuala Lumpur he narrated that after consuming the syrup the applet came back to normal almost immediate.

Another case was my neighbor who was hospitalized for the same sickness. After someone notify the family about the betik stalk my neighbor consume it and was release after one day of consumption.

It is like a magic. I told my former school to plant papaya trees as they are on the process of planting vegetables. They already did even before I told them. Papaya is a very delicious fruit rich in vitamin A. It grows easily and now has medical value. When I think about it, I would thank God very much. Talking of thanking God I remember BN always say thank BN.

I find the papaya's seed to be very bitter. We usually threw them out. They may have had some values as well. It is time for higher institution to make a research on papaya tree's products including the seeds. R and D usually comes after the village folks talk about the medical value of plants and animals. Then the businessmen would crawled in to make big money driving the price of those up. The sea cucumber which was used to be cheap and now almost hard to find. All due to greed.

My friends, I just read thru the websites and found that papaya leaves are also used for cancer treatment I quote a part of an article here

New medicine in the last fifteen years has proven in clinical studies that enzymes taken by mouth (oral enzymes) can make it past your stomach to treat and help prevent cancer.

In the lab and in clinical studies papain has proven to be a cancer-fighting enzyme. Papain is  found in the papaya leaf and in many cultures is brewed in a tea to fight and prevent cancer. Papain has been proven in labs and in clinical studies to eat away the protein fibrous  coating on cancer cells so that your body can kill the cancer.

Here is another heading Papaya leaves juice a natural cure for dengue .. Please educate our friends and neighbors about this easy to grow plant that God gives us. If you hear someone has dengue fever, please take a stalk or a leaf, boil to take the juice and quickly go for the help. You help people. God helps you.

THE AMERICANS I KNOW

Are Americans bad ? Basically people of the world are all the same. New Americans are not the same as the Americans in the 18 or 19th century. The influx of immigrants from Europe, Asia, South America, India and the Middle East makes the composition so cosmopolitan. I have encountered with American Jews, Mexicans, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Blacks and probably German..I don't remember or know whether I have talked to the Anglo Saxon Americans.

I am in no position to analyze or make perfect conclusion of persons I encountered with. I will narrate some short stories and you can make your own conclusion.

1. During the final exam time of about 1 1/2 hour statistical paper, within 10 to 15 minutes I saw several white American students passed up their papers. The Asian students waited until the time was up. I told those Americans that they were very smart. The answer was "Either you know or you don't...". Te final exam results show many of them got an E. I was thinking then, they are truly simple. there is no point staying until the exam time is up if we don't know the answer.

2. I was waiting for a bus to go to Los Angeles from Knot Berry farm. One man came and waited for the bus too. He talked to me straight away as if he had known me for so long. He started talking of his wife and mother in-law who cheated him, how he was thrown out of the house, what he plans to do etc. I did ask him question intermittently. He told the story without hiding things a bit.

3. During the semester break my wife would go to hire a car from a local rent-a-car shop. To rent a car you have to have credit card. We don't have credit card. But Jack still gave us the car. We booked for a small car and he gave us a medium size car at the price of a small car. We are to pay him when we returned the car. During our Hari Raya time We sent him our Malaysian delicacies.

4. I went to my son's house somewhere outside Los Angeles. He was studying there for a year. Each day I would take a bus moving around the area. After several days the driver asked me where I was from. The next day when I boarded the bus he said "Ladies and gentleman, this is Abdul from Malaysia...". The rest said "Hi Abdul..". Before we depart USA I told them I would be going back soon. Everyone said "Happy journey. See you again.".

5. In 1978 I went to my friend's house who was studying in Los Angeles. One day I took a bus to Universal Studio. When night fall I wanted to to back. At the place where the busses were, I went around looking for the right bus to take. Then one old lady came to me and asked me where I wanted to go. She quickly told me which bus and also informed me that one black guy was preying on me. She observed him and came to rescue me.

6. My teacher was a Jew. She was teaching us philosophy. During one discussion I mentioned about Russian Communist. She asked me "What's wrong with Russian Communist ? You should go to Russia once....and taste their ice cream.."

7. One day while walking along a street two black guys rob me. One held me and another took my wallet. After taking my twenty dollar bill he threw back my purse and said "All we want is your money..."

Most Americans I met are nice people. They are very helpful and  polite. That include the Jews I met and talked. If we find bad Americans ,we also find bad Malaysians.

WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN PERAK ?

Does anyone know what is really happening in Perak ? Who jumped party and who quit what party ? Any document about jumping and quiting ? Did Hee quit DAP ? Any black and white ? Or najib just announced it  and then it took effect ? Was Karpal spoke facts or was he dreaming ? The Perakians may know the real answer. Truely if Hee were to say that she does not yet quit DAP then somebody will be in a hot soup. If the Sultan were to go to court, HH will have just to say that he heard it from Najib. As for the 3 Malay members anthing can be done like backdating documents and they just have to sign them. The key person is Hee.

Sooner or later the real things will leak and spread. As for durhaka thing, Dr Mahathir should be first in the list. Trengganu's UMNO is second for allowing it's members to call the Sultan animal. Is there a law which prohibit a citizen from taking the Sultan to court ? If it is the action by PKR will not be valid. If it is not do you think the court will side PKR ?

The government has to think hard whether to persue with the totaliratian and repressive government or not. If Paul Agutine is put back to be  a judge then it looks like the government is going back to Mahathir's era of Kangaroo court. The danger of totalitarian and repsessive government is that it may give birth to sucide terrorist group. Once it spreads it will be almost impossible to curb them like what Thailand is facing in the Moslem South.

On the other hand if it is clear that Hee had quit DAP then PKR has to accept the defeat and hope to win back the state by the next election. We must learn how to accept defeat at times. We can't win all the time.

14/02/2009 - Khir Toyo came to Penang to deliver petition against Karpal for being Derhaka. Khir is a good friend of Dr Mahathir. He should have known that it was Mahathir who put away Sultan's immunity. It was supported by UMNO. Who is kurang ajar ? Karpal or Mahathir plus UMNO ? Toyol should not show that he is a hero of the Malays. The Malays know who betrays the Sultan. Even the Sultan of Perak is very well aware of Dr Mahathir's game before. Does anyone hear comment from Dr Mahathir on Sultan's issue ? Give me a stick, between Karpal and Toyol I would hit Toyol first. Study what Lim Guan Eng said. Is he wrong just because he is a DAP and a Chinese ? If someone talks cock, is he right just because he is a Malay and an UMNO ? In this case let the court decides. If the Sultan has made any error the Royal Highness can always correct it thru court's ruling. If there is ample proof that BN is really a majority in DUN Perak then  PR has to admit the loss and accpet it gracefully. Nizar has to move out.. Why jumps the wagon ? I saw corrupt people were trying to be heros ? If somebody does not like Karpal because he is a Singh who hates the Malays , is asking the authority to banish him  enough ? Is that's what they can do ? Marching and shouting at a single man ? Karpal has said that he is not scared. What else ? Guan Eng said Mahathir was the starter. Think first and think hard before an action. Who started the whole issue ? Otherwisw give back the Sultan's immunity. Look at both Karpal and Mahathir, compare and contrast their differences and similarities. One sure thing is that DR M does grow white beard.

When Mahathir was the PM TV channels were displaying movies of Raja Zalim from time to time to make the rakyat hate the Raja. Now he incites the UMNO members to go against the PM and Toyol is one of those who has indicated that he does not like Pak Lah. It is not healthy to teach people to fight their own boss and to put off Sultan's immunity just because of an incidence. Sultans have advicers and they have much wisdom.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE ME  I AM NOT A MOSAD

You don't have to believe what I am about to tell you. I am not a Mosad, CIA or even SB of Malaysia. I am not accusing anybody because I don't have a concrete proofs. I just tell you what I know, what people told me and what I read somewhere. The keyword here is political blackmail. Political blackmail is a method enforce by an opponent of a political party or a country to force the victim to step down or to destroy his reputation. In Malaysia I really know who is doing the work. It is a very old job practiced by many nations including Malaysians.

The Head of a country is always advised to visit any other nation with the wife/husband. The CIA or security group will always check for any hidden survellience gadget in any room of the American VIP. Among others two well known political figures were trapped; The President Sukarno and the late Tun Abdul Razak. The blackmailers sent women in their rooms and made an action as to look as if some form of seductions were taking place. Then photographs were taken and showed to the victims to demand for resignation or something. Right now it is happening to Elizebeth Wong. And quickly Khir Toyo already asked for her resignation.

Elizebeth did not commit any crime. I believed she is being blackmailed by the enemy of PKR. The enemy of PKR had  met and put all methods of how to win back the state or a country. They have all the strategies laid out. It happened one of my friends had been in the think tank before. PAS and DAP also have their strategies set out. As to the methods they operate and what they plan were unknown to the normal citizens.

Planning on corruptions, women and photography like what is done on Elizebeth is nothing strange in Mosad and CIA's work. To extend it to our SB or Barisan Nasional might be a fallacy. It is up to you to think of the possibility. Sleep naked is not as bad as robbing money using the various legal means. But assuming Malaysian citizens are so stupid and not knowing the various operational methods of secret services is a very un-call for.

Khir Toyo seems to accuse the PKR fellow blackmailing her like he said Samy Veloo asked the temple to be abolished. Please check back all Khir Toyo's statements and his activities. What his comment on Pak Lah should not be swept under the carpet.

If our SB or BN is smart, the Singapore and Thailand's secret services are smarter and could beat the Malaysian counterpart without pain. I am not smart enough to narrate their operations and how they gain access of Malaysian intelligence. I mention this just to tell one smart guy that there are smarter guys around them.

Political party leaders may they be BN or BA must always aware of what I am talking about. You may be thinking that you won't womanize but remember someone can always sent woman into your room without your knowing it. You wake up in the morning and find a lady in your bed. Impossible ? NO. 

The concept of mole is already applied in the political processes. Individuals could be plant by one party into another political party. Whatever all these means are cheating the populace. At least today many of us do not feel that we are under the rule of the powerful devil. Under Dr Mahathir the draconian rules inflicted very heavy sufferings on human minds. The police then moved like Hitler's secret police. TVs were brainwashing the citizens. Today we still hear that Burma is still ruled by iron fist.

What I have said may or may not be factual. You have to be fair to everyone before making your own conclusion. Check Toyo's statements on Pak Lah and others too. Check about what he said about the money he received. Look at his face, eyes and mind. You may see angel though I see otherwise.

SO YOU WANT TO RULE THE COUNTRY

By hook or crook you want to rule the country. You want to be a boss at any cost. Some people call it gila pangkat. So be  it. But first in your heart you must think the of the welfare of the rakyat. Always think of them, not how to make money, distribution of wealth among your family or friends. You don't have to go around telling everybody that you are for rakyat. You do it, just do it. But will you ?

Even how strong your police force is, your political propaganda, your machinery to keep you in power, you can be replaced one day. Your fate is determine by the composition of your rakyat, demographic structure and the rapid development of rakyat's thinking. Some ethnic groups are politically mature than the others and are smarter than many of the politicians. You suppress them they may keep quite and wait for the right time to strike or quietly may moves underground.

Of course nobody expect you to be extremely responsive to all their demands. Rich people do not want to pay income tax. Of course you cannot meet such a demand. People know the value of peace and safety they get from paying it. But you need to be fair. You don't make toll and after toll to extract money from the people. Make use of the road tax money to provide better road facilities to the people.

Providing peace and tranquility is a very vital aspect of Malaysian life. People are fed up of drug menace, increase number of crimes, ragut and other crimes. You have to make sure the police officers carry out their work smartly and effectively. You don't train them how to give excuses and teach them how to compute jusa posts. There must be a vigorous war on drug. It has to  be a war.

You must learn to tell the truth. All persons under you to be honest, sincere and kick all the liars out. Basically, good people do not say bad things about other people. If you some people say so you know them, don't deny it. Knowing prostitues's name does not make you a bad guy. But raping a young girl and then jailed the girl again is a very bad thing indeed. Get rid of all the toyols, the scarry, the petals, the musang and is possible the Pakistanis.

If you have the heart of the rakyat you will work differently and do things differently. You will not have fear from those who want to smash you. You fight the evil of corruptions and built a strong good hearted team.

Good luck.

THE SUICIDE BOMBER

Jews made a documentary about the suicide bombers to discredit Islam. Suicide bombers post a very great threat to enemies. It is not the concept practiced by Islam. The Japanese called it Kamikaze during the World War. Ancient histories also tell stories about suicide squad. It is about the willingness to die for something. It is a death without pain or suffering, unlike the normal diabetic person whose legs has to be amputated, kidney illness and painfully waiting for a long death. We did hear of doctors who play God taking away their patients' lives out of pity.

One of the factors that drives a person's mind to reach the status of willingness to die is the feeling of hatred towards a person or an enemy. The enemy is seen as a very bad guy that is not deserve to live as he may have caused misery and sufferings to the people. There are many such people in the world and even in Malaysia. But he just lack of ammunition and knowledge. He does not have a pusher, someone or group to push him to do so.

However Malaysia has already the weapon to fight such a person. Previously in the media a series of suicide bombers documentary were shown which  told the people that it is not the way of Islam and God will put anyone who commit it in hell. And the Jews do it in a different way to discourage the enemies from using human life to attack on Israel's citizens.

Do not forget that there is an ongoing case of a person who sprayed liquid on DR Mahathir's face. He dared himself to do so out of an extreme hatred on Mahathir. Lucky he did not act as a bomber. What if he blew himself up in the crowd ? It is God's willing that Dr. M gave his post away or otherwise out of the many thousand people who had had extreme hatred towards him, one or two could have been a suicide bombers.

The movie portrayed those suicide bombers who were caught as happy people. They did not show even a slight morose or any form of regret. Everyone was talking of shahid. I remember watching English movies on the Holly Wars against Muslim. The Christians too had the same concept. They want to die as a martyr too. May be in Judism too one can be a martyr. To be a martyr is not merely an  Islamic belief. All reveal religions believe the same way. It is a matter of the state of mind.

Cruelty and excessive use of force can create enmities. Sadaam Hussein's enemies escaped to USA and formed an exile group to oust him. In case of Burma it is not on the cruel government but on the culture of the citizens. Comparison could be made between the Burmese and the Thais in the South. Why there is no gurella war in Burma ? May be the Burmese government is not so very cruel as depicted by the Western media. The problem with human beings is that they tend to think only one side of the story. Pentagon said that those people follow the Quaran. There are million of people who follow the Quaran but not everyone is a suicide bomber.

In Malaysia the threat against the government by the citizens is almost none because of the life we have hare. People still enjoy their freedom, the standard of living is high, almost everyone owns a phone, a car or a motorcycle, TV sets, washing machines ,enjoying the low medical treatment fee, free education, government's helping people in the investment and there is always a future for almost everyone. BUT hatred against individuals do exist because of the lie, corruption, manufacturing evidences and dishonesty. What people do out of the hatred is poring red paint at their houses, writing on the blogs as outlets to release their frustrations. Suicide bombers ? I don't think there will ever be one.

ENGLISH OR BAHASA

I am neither good in Bahasa nor English. My aptitude test scored showed that  my strongest ability is in analytical. Being weak in languages does not stop me from talking or writing in English. As long as I can convey my messages and the recipients can understand them it is alright for me. In acquiring knowledge languages are important. The American government realized the importance of foreign languages after the Russian put it's Sputnik on the outer space. China is another known country that open language studies in higher institutions.

The lack of knowledge among the Malay students is not a function of English. It lies in the attitudes of our students, teachers, parents and politicians. It is not the attitudes towards English but towards everything else. Good students with positive attitudes can learn things without pain. Most students prefer going out with their girl or boy friends rather than going to libraries to acquire knowledge . Any student who continue reading English books and stories will eventually picked up vocabularies.

There were many Malay medium students who followed courses held in English at universities local and abroad. Sciences and mathematics were taught in Bahasa then. In universities reference books were all in English. They went for interview in English and now they speak English. Those were the students with commendable attitudes.

The problems with Malaysian educationist can be traced in their work attitudes and work ethics. Many are egoistic. Some are more interested in promotions and to assert themselves. Not all start work with the welfare and future of the students in mind. We hear of officers going to work late, did not enter the office on time, missing during working hours, did not teach when they are suppose to teach, doing business during office hours and doing the hell things to the students.

Bad attitude people have been the source of failures. Let it be in any medium of instructions or anything else.

To say without English a country will not progress is a fallacy. Indeed a fallacy. We have just to look at European countries, China, Japan, Thailand and Korea. Now Iran joined in the space group with Korea and China. While Mahathir spoke English to the Chinese Premier, the later spoke Mandarin to Mahathir. Is Mahathir greater than the Chinese Minister just because he spoke English ?

You have to look at the person who decide the policy. It was not the Minister of Education. You just study this man. His background, his education, his successes while managing institutions and everything about him. In other words study his background. You can deduce what drove him to push his policy.

The failure of Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka in producing enough materials should have been studied too. I have said somewhere before about the numerous Chinese technical books in the market in the 60s sold at a very cheap prices. Either some people were arrogance or lack of knowledge that they did not study the effort of the Chinese to push those knowledge cheaply. Yes they too have problems in terminology

Let me tell you more about the attitudes of the teachers. English teachers teach English using Bahasa. Their reasons the students do not understand English. You tell them they are wrong. They fight against you. What protect those teachers is the rule that we do not have ie 'the right of hire and fire'. When we first enter the English school in standard 4, nobody spoke Malay except for the Bahasa and religious teacher. They were many jovial incidences that took place. When our teacher asked us "What's your name ? " we replied the same thing. He kept on repeating it and he got back the same answer. We learned the meaning of 'what's you name from our parents..." The next day when he asked us the same thing, he got the right answer.

Some PHD guys sometimes like to experiment with education, pushing new methods and policy. Don't forget the old Science -econ, different type of sciences etc etc. We have to make sure once and for all that our education must create human being, a useful citizens NOT a monster. 

If it is English that we choose then do it. If it is Bahasa then also do it well. It is not merely the lingo chosen but it involve the whole organizational mental system. You need to look into attitude too, which is not an easy thing to deal with. When you see students of higher institutions could not speak or write essays in English, you can't blame the language but their mental setup, their teachers' mental state, their whole organization. The problems are more with the Malay community

When Bahasa was to be the medium of instruction, the Chinese students study well and attain a very high level of proficiency in Bahasa . I thought in a Chinese school before. Their Bahasa was very excellent compared to the Malay students. Teach them English, they could master English. Teach them Mandarin, they are master at it. Believe me, I am not at all wrong to point at attitude for any failure.

if sciences and mathematics are to be taught in English start it early from the beginning. As it is done now, it is at ad hoc, giving a shock to the teachers and the students. Choose persons well verse in English to be teachers, primary and secondary. But I still say that will not make students any better in technology.

My Days are numbered

These few days I heard many of my friends were hospitalized and a few passed away. They are all above 60. I am 62. While some continued working after retirement, others just stay at home. I know I won't live long, so are many others of my age. I can't tell how many others realized that their days are numbered too. They hunt for jobs and money; either because they enjoy working or they simply want to make money.

Do I need more money ? During this inflationary period the value of money has declined. I would say it is about 50%. Counting the retirement income, I find I just can survived. If I were to think of making money, I know I would be creating stress to myself. Make do with what I have and I should enjoy the rest of the remaining days.

I don't have property. But I have some knowledge of computing that I need to give away before I die. I decide to depart the knowledge to some of my former teachers. I would be teaching them as much as I can on biometric system and how to writes codes for application software. Of course it is for free.

IT or ITC is not merely for young people. I know that younger people are saying chat programs like yahoo and skypes are not for people like me. IT facilities are not made for young people. It is designed to make the world smaller, make life easier and restructuring many aspects of life and organizations. It does not mention the word age anywhere in the progress menu. So I want to make the full use of it and enjoy the fun and the technology.

Many of us are nobody. There will be no monument for us when we die. As long as we don't cheat on people, we don't make anyone suffers, we don't manufacture stories and don't rob people's money we will be forgotten after of a week's burial. We don't want people to continue cursing us even if 30 years after our death, and called us by name like Toyol or Dugong or Katak. Islam forbids the Muslim to talk bad even at your enemy after his death. God will deal with him in the life thereafter. Of course at time you do think that you will never ever forgive someone even after his death. You  feel like pissing at his grave yard.

There are two type of sins that most of us do. The sins against God and the sins against other people. Sleeping with people's wife is both. Having a sexual intercourse with a woman is the sin against God. I almost do both when I was young. They called it adultery. The unbelievers will continue doing sexual intercourse even after 60 with any woman that is available.

The most I could live is another 15 years. The duration is very short. Illness can strike any time at a sudden. My friend who passed away just now had been  very active with his business and travel the world over. After just a short while of a sudden illness, he went to see God. Those above 60 should take notice. Our days are numbered.

SABAH'S WOES AND SOUL SEARCHING

Usually I didn't watch TV1 because of the bias content. Last night while switching channels I  tumbled into one discussion show. The panels composed of one so-called professor and two politicians. Among the three the worst was the professor. He didn't portray himself as an academician with his shallow argument. What a shame. The whole world was watching a Malaysian proffesor standard. In short the program was a soul searching, trying to analyze UMNO and telling the people that UMNO is the party for the citizens.

Later in the night I saw the debate in the Parliament where the Sahaban was crying foul on BN  government for not fulfilling it's promise to deliver the said 1 billion ringgit to the state. He asked where is the money.

Where is the money ? Before the Trengganu by-election BN announced 10 billion would be delivered to the state. Was the money being delivered ? I heard stories from an UMNO man that during each election or by-election people were making money enough to buy a car or a house. Could you believe it ; money due to Sabah was used in several by-elections ?

It looks like the federal BN does not trust Sabah BN. FBN would passed some sweet when Sabah was talking about jumping party. Whatever it serves the Sabahans right. FBN has ample time to corrupt the people to get the vote in the next GE. There will be 3 other by-elections coming. How much money will be poured in ?

The professors and UMNO think tank members do not have to do soul searching. They could have done a detail survey on why people had voted for the opposition party ? Why people still support Anwar Ibrahim in spite of all the media campaign against him ?

When they talk of assimilation theory and other stuffs, I know they do not know the real issue. The Chinese agenda is far more different from the Malay agenda. People avoid talking about them. So it suits with one Barisan National member who said the reason why Pak Lah's had to go was due to God's will. I was laughing hard when he mentioned that God has it written that Pak Lah had to go and Najib would replaced him. So God has it written that Karpal takes the Sultan to court. Look at the mind of BN representatives. Yet people still vote for him.

May be in Sabah there is enough money. Giving the whole sum and to allow the Sabahan developed their own states mean someone in Kuala Lumpur might not get the projects. People seem to mention Khairy and Company's influence on the projects. It is difficult to believe it. With Pak Lah going away surely people would not expect Khairy will be in power anymore. It could come to a point when even the UMNO members could put Kahiry away for good.

I don't know what is on people's mind. What will they vote in the next GE ? Will BN come back as strong as before ? Will it be the end of BN forever ? BN has to do a lot of soul searching, go back to bomoh, hire feng sui's experts or forget about all and try to make money as much as possible before being ousted. 

The new ACA chief, the election commission, Ghani Patail and Musa could influence's people vote. Just think about it.

NOSTALGIA - MY FIRST TRIP

My first trip was in 1965 after form 5. I asked for my mother's permission to go to Bangkok to watch the SEAP Games. I went around accumulating money and I had about RM250. The return ticket was RM69.50 only. Even my neighbor, a Kelantanese, handed me RM50 while sending me to the railway station. I brought with me my traditional costume, first aid kits, threads and needles as well. I was young then and prepared to venture.

Just after Hatyai the train stopped. Flood was high ,covering the railroad. Everyone panicked. Night passed by. The flood did not subside. Water on the train began to run out. The train driver went to look for water from coach to coach. He had his hand injured. A lot of blood flew out. When he passed by our coach, I stopped him. I had bandage and the necessary medicines. People helped to treat him using my first aid kit. I became a hero then.

That was not the end of it. By some happenings one lady had her blows torn. Again I went to her help. I brought out my thread and needle.

The person in front of me was very excited and asked me a lot of question especially on what made I brought those facilities. I said it had just crossed my mind my mind. Food began to flow in to me especially from ladies. I don't know why ladies;. may be because I was handsome then. The man in front was a Burmese Muslim. He invited me to go to his house for a few days in Bangkok. I declined.

In Bangkok I stayed in a cheap hotel. I learned how to take buses from one terminal to another. I knew the location of the stadium. I had a very enjoyable time then.

On the first day, the opening ceremony, I put on my national costume. The ticket was sold out. Many Thais approached me because I looked different. Someone brought me into the stadium. I don't remember someone gave me  a stadium pass. In the stadium other Malaysians came to me, Chinese and Indian Malaysians.  Let me tell you that Malaysians are Malaysians no mater what ethnic group they are. They are in fact very nationalistic abroad. They feel proud to be Malaysians.

iThe trip was meaningful. I made friends, many friends. I went to kampongs, across the Menam all alone and sometimes with friends. I also met many beautiful Thai girls. But no sex ...no sex..because at that time I already knew about VD. I did not want to take any risk at all. In fact I do not smoke until now.

When I became a teacher I told the story of my adventure to my students, my experience in hitch hiking around Malaya and the trip to Bangkok. During a school holiday some of them cycled to Johor from Kuala Nerang. They had a very adventurerous time and told the the story around with full of joy.

WHO ACTUALLY LIE ?

I went to a school's sport today. I met a man and we were chatting while watching. We talked on several topics. I asked him a question "Why the Malays did not vote for UMNO ?" Immediately he replied "They can't keep on lying to people. People can see it already..." Is that the image that UMNO has created ? Are all UMNO members liars ? I asked a PAS man about UMNO. He mentioned the same word too. UMNO like to lie.

I see UMNO in different ways. I don't hear much what everyone says. I saw evil during Dr Mahathir's period where people were thinking nothing more other than how to make money and they were supported by Mahathir. All sort of privatizations came into view and toll after toll came up. Names like Kek Pheng, Vincent Tan were heard as very powerful people. People were threatened. Police invaded people's privacy. I knew many guys demanded for money, running projects and cheating people. I knew of legal manipulation, the role of  the AG, police and judges during Mahathir's time. And the role of police till now. BUT hearing other people say UMNO lies, there is something it has to look into.

Sabah is now saying the Federal Government lied to the people of Sabah. This is very dangerous for BN. If the belief continues until the next GE, BN will be gone forever. Khir Toyo may be jailed. Khairy may joned him too.

Mahathir will be coaching Najib and will tell Najib to open path for his son. Najib must kenang jasa because Mahathir puts him there. Underground will be a campaign that Najib lies about his involvement in Altantuya's case. Probably Najib will have to use Mahathir's tactics again , using the police force to spy on people.

Yes, who actually lie ? Pak Lah is an honest and sincere man. I believe many of his people lie to him in many things.Before his retirement Pak Lah is doing good deeds to the people and even accept opposition members to run the government too. Two toll houses were taken away.

The next time I meet the man I will be asking him who actually lie ? Those who swear on the Koran ?

Please never think any one man or party is invincible. A suppressed person will be thinking a way to strike back and use the most effective means to retaliate at the cost of his life. Don't just look at Burma.

AMATEUR RADIO IS DEAD

Amateur radio was so called because people who were interested in radio communication started to make radio equipment themselves to receive and send signals both in the form of morse code and voice. A person to be called amateur radio must be able to understand electronics, able to construct and understand morse code. If a person did not possess anyone of those, he still can communicate using a radio as a hobby but would not be called a radio amateur. They could be called the CBers or any other name.

In recent years in some countries the regulatory body suspend morse code and hence killed amateur radio once and for all. Even before this regulation the knowledge on electronics were not needed anymore because radio equipments were sold in the market. To some radio enthitias called hams, they opened up the rigs, modified them and learned about the operations to keep the concept of homebrewing alive. Otherwise no electronic knowledge would be required at all.

Hams are struggling to make sure ham radio is alive by making morse codes heard on the air. Competitions were organized. And the morse portion of the radio specterum were full of morse signals. Those come from the old hams and from countries where morse code is still mandatory. When all the old hams go the radio band will hear no more morse signals called CW. That means it is totally dead.

Even when it is dead people may still want to call it amateur radio though it is not in existence anymore. It wil be like a body without any soul and spirit. They cheat themselves by doing it.

CB allows people to do communication both local and abroad. It started without the need of electronic knowledge or morse code and it is the same until today. They are almost similar to the so called the amateur radio of today. The day will come when we cannot find any more different between the two. Though people try to keep the clear different, by spirit and sould they will be the same. The language used in CB has merged into the so-called amateur radio.

The threat actually came from computer advancement, the person in the regulatory bodies and the manufactirer of radio equipments. Computer makes long distant communication more superior than  te radio, the officer who did not have the amateur radio soul and spirit want to make his own decission as to apply his great power, and the the radio manufacturer who saw the decline in sale of ham gear due to the advancing cheap computers were pushing the regulatory bodies to make things easier to the people to own the rigs.

Amateur Radio used to be called the King of the Hobbies because of the degree of difficulty to be an amateur radio person. He has to really understand electronics, able to build or repair radio equipments and able to send and receive morse codes of at least 12 words per minute. From of such difficulty only a certain person can be a ham. A person who has to learn and understand electric and electronic in English, able to construct kits and learn most codes is not just a simple person. Today, just go and ask 10 simple electronic questions relating to the working of SSB or normal radio, he may not know all the 10 of them. What more about morse codes.

We began to hear rude words on the band, grabbing of frequencies, tuning and talking right on frequencies used by the others, calling people by name and use swear and 4 letter words. People of crminal records and bad behavior are joining in. Persons who called themselves hams go to other countries and used call signs of the native country, people going about getting call sign which they are not fit to use and people go on the air using their own system of communications.

In one or two countries amateur radio is already totally dea regardless of what the people in the country think they are.

TOLL AND THE WEAK GOVERNMENT

There it goes again. The Government has to pay to the concessionaries. Why ? You want to throw the toll you throw away the government. Remember Iraq owed Malaysia billion of dollars during Saddan Hussein, and when Saddam goes everything goes. The government is below the business organization ? NO wonder the JKR properties were seized by private companies in Malacca. Yet you hear people say BN government is very organized.

Will somebody find out who actually are in the toll concessionaries. Dirty people are always dirty. The minds, the hearts and even their blood are dirty and stink. The government can make silly agreement to make people suffer. You must always see straight and don't easily swayed by the rhetorics. Now they are making the rest as anti Sultan, closing UMNO's original effort to oust the Sultan. Nobody asked Mahathir to be jailed as he was the first person to quarrel with the Sultans. I could see Khairy again. Nowadays you would either see Khairy or Toyo showing their hero hip.

They took the foreigners in and are still doing it but they showed to public that they are concerned about the local unemployed. The hypocracy continues. And hatred towards BN continue to grow.

QUESTIONS TO THE ACA CHIEF

2. Similar questions were meant in the case of Khir Toyo. What sort of evidence are you looking for ? Can't you find volunteers to come out to provide evidence ? How do you come to the conclusion that wild accusations were made ? Do you call ACA is a professional organization when you made conclusion even before the court ? Are you merely looking for a material evidence ? Are you aware of such thing as circumtancial evidence ?

3. Do you think everybody is stupid and cannot read your character by your words ? Do you know that there are people who can read your character by your face and the shape of your skull ? Do you need evidence in that too ?

NATIONAL SECURITY

1. A person who criticizes a Mnister.

2. Persons who go out to protest.

3. Person who wants to take the Sultan to court.

4. Workers who strike to demand for more pay.

5.A person who threat to overthrow the government

6. A person selling some stuff to a foreign nation.

You can continue to define on your own as long as it suits you. They are all correct. Only a Prime Minister can take action on the Sultan as laid out by DR M and the supporters. When TV showed movies on the qruelty of Malay rulers during the period it was not called 'hasutan'.

Who are the threats to national security ? The blogers ? Those PKR who convened the meeting under the trees ? Zamry mentioned it was a threat to the country ( what a laugh ). Who else ? If you read the Sejarah Melayu, the book mentioned of a Keling who opened the gate to allow the enemy to come into the 'Kota Melaka'. The Sejarah Melayu did not mention 'Mamak' because the Bendahara was called 'Mamak Bendahara' . So it was convenient for Tun Sri Lanang to mention 'The Keling'.

So you are advised not to do things that will be a threat to a nation. I am still waiting for an action to be taken on Mr Karpal Singh for challenging the Sultan. Never think an OKU like Karpal is not dangerous. Recently in Thailand a miltary shot a crippled person saying the man was attacking the military with a gun when his hand could not hold anything.

POOR BUT NOT STARVING

When it rains outside, it rains inside the house too. White ants are attacking the house. To repair the house is too expensive. The children are either drug addicts or manual labor. There are thousands of them all over the country. They are poor but do not die of starvation. The average income by helping people is about RM400 enough to buy rice and cooking stuffs. Kids do not go to school anymore.

Some are happy with the modest income. During the Hari Raya the neighbors would buy clothing for the kids. Some neighbors would finance the children's education.

When you hear people receive kickbacks for million of dollars, offered high sum to jump party, accepting bribes, saying RM4000 income is not enough, I say shit and go to hell. They should be punished here and now, not in the next world. They should meet a slow and painful death. The greedy and cruel is worst than the animals.

Somebody in the government realize the plight of the poor people. Those former laborers who earned a pension of RM50 -rm 300 are now receiving RM700. That is still under the poverty level. But hey survive. Their kids have work, some with modest income. One thing though these people are never extremely against the government. They are not so educated. hey can't even read newspapers. The poor people in Malaysia is much better of than the poor people in some other countries like India for instant.

Greedy people have supporters too. Some may be mob. They have lawyers as well. They never think of the poor people. They increases prices of essential products like foodstuffs. They do not heed any call from the government too.

We believe there are countries being ruled by the gangsters and mob. They influenced the police and the politicians. Everyone fears them.

Children of poor families are more prone to drugs. When they need drugs they broke into houses and stealing anything of value. Pushers are seldom caught and if caught would be released soon. There is  something vicious going around. That is why the trishaw peddlers were peddling before the independent and still doing so until today if they are still alive. Some people are busy making money rather than solving the problems of the poor people.

The evil of corruption goes on. Wives of Malaysian leaders were accused of doing big businesses. Talks went round, not only in Malaysia now known to all. The world began to focus on these wives and what their husbands do.

Sometimes you just can't understand people. There is a Chinese phrase saying 'nang pu ti nang, kui pu ti kui'. Even the Zakat money does not go to the proper channel and serve the poor people. We hear the Zakat money was being used for personal reason but the persons involved are going around happily and doing the ever evil things.

THE LANGUAGE FACTOR

When university graduates went for interviews in some corporate sectors, many were rejected due to the lack of proficiency in English. Many medium and high level jobs require English. Majority of the Malays are at the disadvantages as far as language is concerned. The most beneficial group is the Chinese from Chinese school. A student in Kedah will be able to speak Malay, Mandarin, Hokien and English. He can have access to knowledge from Malay, English and Chinese books. 

There are many jobs open to persons of language ability. A Malay who only knows Malay has to depend on government job or low level job in private firms.

However knowing a single language does not mean a person's future is full stop. President Bush does not know foreign languages. You can still be a Prime Minister and attend international meetings and conferences. He can speak the only language he knows. That does not stop him from being a leader.

But he is a Prime Minister or a President. He can be as dumb as he can be. The country can still run well.

For ordinary kids and students who are now accessed to internet , English is a tool in order to gain knowledge. There are a large amount of information in English. One can even teach oneself to be a computer programmer thru  this new frontier. There are plenty of literatures in technology and sciences. Mostly in English. It will be a handicapped for a student who does not know English.

The books on technology in Mandarin are also numerous and cheap. Chinese educated students have the advantages in using them besides the English books.

But rejecting English because it comes from the West and it is unIslamic is indeed foolish. Rejecting Western culture means rejecting all he owns and uses everyday; his car, TV, dresses, computers and much more. Those owe their origin from the West. He needs to find a kerbau to ride and  wood to cook. And none of western origin must not be on his body and in his house. That may include the design of his house too. Then go back on the tree.

ISLAM PREACH KILLING ?

Western media and some Americans are educating their young  distorted facts about Islam. The focus was on 9-11 and suicide bombers. Many have been influenced and their minds have been imbedded with hatred.

The Americans should ask themselves ONE question; why 9-11 happen in USA ? There are many countries with tall buildings in the world; Japan, China, Hong Kong, Korea, France and many others. Why it happen in America ? Why suicide bombers are only against Israelis and their supporters ? If Islam preaches killing then all Muslims would go killing spree all over the world killing every non-Muslim  on the earth.

America has been sending military forces to countries like Vietnam, killing the innocent people. What wrong do they do to the Americans ?  Then Sent the armies to Afghanistan and enjoying the killing spree. Afghanistan is thousands of miles away. What wrong do the Afghans do to the American ? Then USA invaded Iraq and killed the women and children with sophisticated weapons. For what ? Who are the murderers, the terrorist and the uncivilized ? Can anyone fight American military supremacy ? Islam or not Islam, Muslim or Christian, if there is no other way to fight big guns, one alternative is to use human bomb, namely suicide bomber. It is not the teaching of Islam but the suppression of the Americans and the Jews on the Palestinians.

The root of all evil is Palestine. 9-11 happens because Bush continued to support the Jews. Nothing else.

White Anglo Saxon American had a very bad history. They had to leave England for their new frontier and even fought back with the British. They made Blacks their slaves and even said Blacks were sinners sent by God. They Christianized the slaves to tame them making them work willingly. Blacks were regarded as chattels, things can be bought and sale.

The Jews ere smarter than the White Anglo Saxon American. Truly indeed many prophets were of Jewish origin. They believe they are superior to Christians. Jews are very smart, very organize and become the master of White Anglo Saxon Americans. They control and influence the the later. They control many American media. They know media can play a very important role.

Islam do not go to kill people all over. The bomber kills the enemies who come to their land.

Nevertheless in the world of today normal Americans, Jews and Muslims think the same way. They want peace. They want no killing. Not all Jews are good and not Muslims are good too. Otherwise there will be no jail in America, Israel or Muslim countries. There are many American murderers as well. Checking the crime rates and police brutality in those civilize country may show  the number exceeds the Arab countries.

The Iraqis who fought against the Americans are nationalist. The attackers who come from thousands of mile away are terrorists. They come to kill. They don't want the local to kill them by any means whatsoever.

Do not blame Islam but they should blame their aggressive policy.

Let the American stop telling lies to their young. 

By and large majority of the Americans do not think as their political leaders. They are good people. I have been to the country many time and encountered with many of them. Lately the Americans mass were robbed off their jobs, and life became bitter each day. Bush administration who poured billion of dollars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel, making their own people suffer. They are savage not only to the Arabs but also to the fellow citizens.

THE TREE

Now I know that at least there are two persons who hate trees. One is Dr Mahathir who ordered to fell a tree in front of a library in University Malaya. He hated the tree where Hishamuddin Rais would stand beneath it do deliver firry speech against the government. Now another Dr from Perak, Zamry, is angry at a rain tree where a meeting was held. I never know Indians or Pakistanis hated trees. But I used to see Keling Mabuk talked to coconut tree.

Scientist asks people to talk to plants, meaning plants is just like a living things. A rain tree provide good shade and has served mankind since the yesteryears. It took time to grow. I saw such big trees earned respects from the people of Thailand when I visited the inner part of the country. They tie the tree with yellow cloth. More so trees give health to people, prevent soil erosion and flooding. They create beautiful environment.

When a person with a PHD and a medical doctor get mad with trees, what do you think of them. At least a medical doctor save life. But the PHD ? PHD from which university ? A PHD person with a temper and called a tree by name is a very big joke. 

You fell trees you get flash flood. Then you blame the global warming. You blame God for lessening the ozone layer. You don't blame people like yourself, who do injustice to the environment. One rain tree talks for all the trees. Threatening one tree is threatening all trees.

The Democracy Tree can generate income to some people because people are flocking to the trees to take pictures. Hawkers would gather to make business. People makes souvenir. Money change hands. The Democracy Tree will be more popular and visitors than Zamri's house. Zamry said people having a meeting under a tree is uncivilized. If you quote his words in Europe and the Western Countries you can imagine what they would say of him. Presidents have had meetings while walking in the retreat. And they are big people. Wait until a big disaster come and wipe out all the houses and big buildings, where do you think Zamri is going to have a meeting then. May be he will find one nice place in Mumbai or somewhere in Benua Keling.

The Arabs and the Israelis invest billion of dollars to plant trees. They know trees are valueless wealth to human kind.

A LETTER TO NAZRI

Nazri, I am not pro Anwar. I am not smart either. Some of my remarks here may be rude but I am merely stating facts of conditions. If you have 5 daughters and one of them is being fucked, are you going to say "Never mind la...only one out of 5. 20 % only." In a school hostel, one out 1000 girls got pregnant and the Head Teacher says "Never mind la, only one person out of 1000." In a state there is one murderer went around with killing spree, the police says "Never mind la...only one out of many millions."

I know you always think you are very smart and can argue things very well. Yet you let people asking themselves why the black eye info was not release as if nothing had happened. Surely somebody was covering it up. Officers below Ghani and Musa ? Mahathir ? It is just like saying, I don't kill but my gun. Blame my gun. If you cover up Mahathir, you are not guilty ? In that case someone can hire a killer to shoot someone. Razak does not shoot Altantuya, why charge him as well ?

If you think you are the smartest lot never mind. You have the right to think whatever you want. But you are saying other people are shit and do not know how to reason things. That is one of the problems of UMNO's ministers.

Actually I don't like to see BN falls. But the way things go the next election could be the final day for BN. I just recently attended a funeral at one kampong. I found the farmers could speak so well about politics better than some members of the political party. You know what, some Ministers are damn worried about the next GE. The PKR leaders may not do anything to revenge but those who were badly cheated may do so. In the French revolution it was the laymen that hanged the King.

You must keep yourself respected. So far I have been respecting you like Shahril. But if you continue to make mistake and talking what people think as shit, then you will have no value at all to many of us.

UNANIMOUS, BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT

Nazri said 2 out of 3 is majority. He said even school children know it. He should have known the concept of simple majority, the 2/3rd majority and unanimous. He should know even the students know them. No wonder why after so very long time  the 30% bumi target was not achieve. Simply because they don't know how to compute. They use the simple thinking as simple majority. That one out of the three is a majority of one with very strong argument and point.

Public is scrutinizing the ACA's activity and sense the hypocracy if any, like going into the Tourism investigation - no case, Toyo no case etc. AND they love to use the word professional. The ACA is very professional. Public say they are bias not because they do not take action but because the public see the relationship in the strings of actions, and in the words they spoke, and in the face they expressed.

Toyo always say he got the money out of huge profits by the body. Whenever there were accusation that there are proofs of wives going makan angin with Balkis money, he tried to show the a kind of profit the body made. He is saying any person, a minister, a leader can take money from government coffer because  they bring wealth to the nation. Do you see his argument ? Is that called no case ? If Dr M ordered the cover up of Anwar's Black Eye case, then Ghani and Musa are not at fault. You shoot a gun killing people under order, you are not guilty ? First because you are not shooting but the gun does. Second people pay or asked you to do it. No case ?

A living man was reported as dead. Then he came back again. The law said he is dead. "You are dead, understand ?" Nazri will say the case is  closed because you are dead. The point is Nazri is trying to say Anwar did not suffer black eye. There is no cover up because it did not happen. If it happened why the quiet ?

I heard he mentioned a high profile case. Therefore not easy to finalize thing. Who is the high profile ? Anwar ? What a joke. An opposition party member is never a high profile to BN government. They are low class shit. Then who ?

A case that involve death and severe penalty like life confinement needs unanimous decision, not even 2/3rd majority. It has to be beyond reasonable doubt. 2 out of 3 is not unanimous and it is not beyond reasonable doubt.

I am just a low class person. This is the way I think. Many others think like me. You need to hear the normal laymen, the fishermen and the farmers. Many of us don't even know what PHD is. Many of us don't know where Toyo get his dental certificate and where he is from also. At least I talk aloud. If there are million of citizens prefer to keep quiet and wait for the right time to strike it will be worse.

Now the steps taken by the government has to be good and well done, otherwise people will see the tembelang. We can talk money. We can talk employment. We can promise the world. People are seeing whether they are going to fall as IMP, 30% bumi's economic well being and many government buildings. Nobody could convince the PAS members. They always say BN like to lie. To be frank I believe in Najib but not Rosmah. There are many leaders being spoiled by the wives, may it be Marcos or Thaksin. The French book will hit the world. Pray for the best.

HE IS A FISHERMAN

Nik Mohd Kamal said, "God gives the 20As to his daughter Madihah. I thank God...." He is only a fisherman. Not only her parents feel happy, all the Klantanese feel proud of her too.

What will happen is that greedy people would go and interview her and then will go around the country charging people to hear what they are going to say about Madihah. They get rich while the family remains as hey are.

Not everyone would give credit to God for successes. Even poor people always thank God for what they have. They would say 'rezeki secupak...' And their lives continue even under the roof of the sky.

Madihah was from Arabic school in Kota Bharu. Some politicians despise religious  school. There had been attempt to kill them saying Arabic schools profess anti government propaganda. Bush administration believed religious schools taught the students to murder people.

Madihah is just one of the successful many but she comes from a state where some people said to be a place where poverty kill the populace.

The concept of corruption has two faces. When Dr M mentioned about the corrupt UMNO leaders, he was talking of leaders who are seen as corrupt, who are known to accept or demand money, who are known to make a lot of money via various means. On the other face those are seen as corrupt do not say they are corrupt because the ACA or the court does not say they are corrupt. A person is innocent unless proven guilty.

Who are the corrupt leaders ? If Dr M;s thinking co-incides with the thinking of the public yet the ACA said there is no case or proofs then public judgement could be taken into account. Public sees and hears and make judgement. If contractors says they gave money to so and so and people hears how the persons concern reply in the media, people can make accurate judgement.

When the ACA said 'there is no case', people began to question and observe the integrity of the ACA. The selective pattern of actions by the ACA will be concluded as politically bias. The persons concern keep on telling everyone that he is not guilty and he is not corrupt. That makes people more angry.

Of course DR M has a motive behind it. He wants a clean person to lead the country. To him the clean person is Mukhriz. But the UMNO people do not like Dr. M. Some present Ministers had had express their feeling towards Dr. M. They may not listen to him anymore even though Dr. M's thought may be right.

The corrupt leaders who themselves as innocent is not really innocent in the eyes of the people no matter how many million time they show their faces on the TV. Even among UMNO members, they are campaigning against those who they say are corrupt. The point is whether we see them as free or not, the corrupt lots are still corrupt.

While the extremist say all UMNO are liars and corrupt, I do not think so. There are many good UMNO members who are sincere, good and responsible like any other party members, DAP,PAS or Independent. The big question is if you are offered 2 million ringgit for a certain favor, would you take it ? NO ? If it is doubled to 4 million ?

LET'S ALL PRAY

The next GE can have any outcome. To laymen like us we can only pray, not for any party to win but for a good and sincere leader who fears God and has a heart for human kind. And to be fair we the citizens must be reasonable too. We have to be tolerable and considerate, to have mutual understanding among us. We have sent our message that we don't need corrupt leaders who sell the country to others. We cannot give second chance to people whom we know can never change like the face of some Toyols.

Let us all pray from being rule by gangsters and mafia who would used the national resources to defend their status quo. We want to live in peace and tranquility. We don't want people to become suicide bombers to revenge against repressive government. We have seen many movies that are teaching us to be violence against insincere leaders. We have too much of bad dreams.

Let us all pray the toll will stop hiking and the people concern will have a change of heart so that they will live in peace in the future world and do not suffer in the present world. You do not see one sadist who is happy. He always suffer mentally and do not feel satisfied with his wealthy life. The crave goes on and on until his dying day.

Let us pray that we have a good police and attorney general who does not use public money to work for one political party, and the anti corruption agency that will be fair to all and be really professional. We don't people to curse them even though they have gone to the next world, like people had been calling Dugong till his day in the graveyard.

Let's all pray for people like Dr M, Khairy, Rustam and Toyol will not be the ruler. We all do remember how Dr. M and his supporters had wanted to oust the Sultans, belittling the Malays publicly, suppress them and showed the Pakistani behavior to the indigenous people of Malaysia. Let us pray so that no mamak will take away this nation. It is sorry to say that I have never encountered with one mamak who is humble yet.

And finally let us all pray for our nation to be one of the great nations in the world.

ENGLISH NEWSCASTERS

My hearing is bad. When I heard news read by several casters, I have problems in resolving the spoken words. The Malaysians were among the worst. The best are the Americans. They do not swallow words. Every word uttered was done with clarity. The China CCTV9 and BBC are also comprehensible. I was in India the other day and listen to the English news and I found it difficult to understand too.

The best of the Malaysian caster is Raymond Goh. I can understand him better than many others. Of course I understand they are not English nor American. That might be the reason why they swallowed words. I overheard many people made similar comments about Malaysian casters.

Newscasters must be aware that they are not talking to themselves. They are telling news to thousands of people with various hearing ability. So they should speak clearly. If the CNN and BBC did not hurry to finish the news, I am sure the Malaysian media would do the same. Why the rush ? If we don't want to look West then look East. Look at China, and listen well. How great they are at reading news. You don't hear a L for a R; row is row not low. f you watch American Idol show, you would hear Simon say "I don't know what are saying in your singging...".

 Is English news only for people of high class English ? I thought we want to educate people to learn English by listening and talking. No wonder from time to time you see big leaders from China, France and Russia prefer to use interpreter then having a direct correspondence with other English speaking leaders.

I would like to remind ourselves that English speaking individuals are not the smartest and the non-English speaking people are morons. Speaking the language does not turn a man into an Englishman. We just do it for fun. To some people they just can express themselves better.

AMONG THE EVILS

Among the evils, the one I abhorred most is the Toyol. Though Rustam did not talk much, his record was never forgotten. He hated the Malay Muslim just because they are opposition, and even had the police traffic sommons. To him his concern is more important than the law then. Khairy was almost beaten the last general election, only a mysterious box that saved him. People said he made alot of money and controlling many projects. And my most feared person Mukhriz; not because of his record but because of his father's doing. The farther started with a very good record and after a long period in power finally began to rule like a dictator.

In the final count Khairy got the most vote. Looking at the numbers I would not say he is a popular person. So the battle begin to continue, between Khairy and other UMNO members and UMNO against the Malays. Talking of the numbers , I remember when I was working, there were many schools where the number of first graders were very much more than grade 2 + grade 3 + failures. If Kahiry received votes more than Toyo + Mukhriz then Khairy has something to be proud of. UMNO youth must have hated Dr. M very much. And books on Khary will continue to be sold in the Black Market.

Najib mentioned the changes UMNO must make. What changes ? A tukang kebun can go in and out of the school compund just because he is an UMNO ? An UMNO teacher neglect the students and always play thruant ? From the behaviour I observed I don't think UMNO will change. But time will tell. It is not Bukit selambau or Bukit Gantang factor but it will be the next general election. There will be ample time for both BN and PKR to choose the real right and good men.

I read blogs. Blogs have been cursing Pak Lah. Later they say Najib is worst. If they have known Najib is worst then why they called Pak Lah to step down ? Really, what wrong Pak Lah had done ? Dr M blamed Pak Lah for the lost of several states because Pak Lah did not cheat and gave freedom to the press ? Now that Pak Lah walked off the uncertainty is greater. If Rosmah believe in her lucky star, she might play important role in ruling the nation.

Politicians must know that bomoh, jampi and black magic could not work. If black magic is so strong and true Malaysia can easily oust the Jews from Palestin.

Hishamuddin and the rest should also know the Malays did not vote BN not because they support Anwar but because they are tired with the attitudes of UMNO. This is what Najib is calling for change. remember Karpal Singh said 'Singh is King'. He is quoting a song. The singer who sang 'Singh is a King' finally said "Yes Singh is a King if the attitude is right. You are all king if your attitude is right."

An animal trained to eat meat will continue to do so even if you dress her in another animal's skin.

From my observation the PAS Malays are more stable then PKR or UMNO Malays. There are more UMNO and PKR Malays have not been doing the right things when in power than the PAS men. Why ? Probably some PKR people were people from UMNO. Most mordern Malays do not like to wear Serban and Kopiah Lebai. If the Chinese and Indians begin to believe in PAS, then I am sure BN will sink in the next GE.

Asking the members to change in attitudes is like asking the sun to rise from the West.

FROM NATIONALISM TO MONEYRISM

BN was a nationalist party before Dr. M. The Idependent's March was filled up with teachers who were the intellect during those days. Teachers then were not businessmen. They were committed with their work, feared by students and respected by the society.

When Mahathir came, he saw the importance of money like many other Pakistani immigrants. Truly money is important for development and growth of the nation. But Mahathir did not read all the books about money and about Communism which also mentioned money as the root of all evil. Even the Chinese proverb said that even satan bowed to money. Businessmen began to populate UMNO and the old nationalists were pushed aside.

As time passed business and projects became the lifeline of UMNO. Privatization became the main item in Mahathir's mind. Private firms were set up to run business and services. Nationalism of UMNO has turned to moneyrism. As the number of members grew the demand has exceeded the supply. A few projects could not now be shared among the many. The struggle create enemies among UMNO members. Lately Khairy became the target because many old contractors lost their business to Khairy's people.

Then we heard the stories of kickbacks from the purchase of equipments like military hardware and the police vests. Foreign media related it to the murder of a woman. The world read about them. The locals are talking about them. The police was said to do the cover up.

UMNO sometimes give money to attract people to attend a rally. But PAS is collecting money from people who attended the rally. Is it not strange of PAS ? Yet people flocked up to PAS rally though they have to pay for it.

I think no amount of absolution would change UMNO. Pak Lah is smart to walk away when Dr M and others accused him for the downfall of UMNO. He wants to see whether Najib can brings UMNO up. Again najib is now using money as baits. He speaks of billion of dollars for this and that almost everyday.

You should note one thing that Pak Lah said "What for the post when UMNO is just left with the bone and skin".

UMNO'S STRATEGY ON THE YOUNG

UMNO has already announced that polical education is to be given to the young. Young students will be giving courses for political awareness so that the young will continue the tradition of UMNO. While the Malays will be singing political tones the non-Malays will continue to work hard for academic achievements. To put in another way while one side is learning how to shout , the others learn how to develop various technical hardware. People who talk aloud are usually empty in skill and ability.

There will be a control of media and freedom of expression to halt the other side of thinking. Even at present feedbacks to blogs have been halted and some blogs are missing. With the control of information and distorting them people's mind especially the young would be shaped to the way UMNO wants. Mahathirsm will come back under different name.

I have heard about teaching the young about UMNO many months before the General Meeting. I just shook my head. Now they are talking about it again. It looks like UMNO is desperate, very desperate. To use the students to enhance UMNO's political gain is despicable. It is too very low. It still fail to see why people voted for opposition. No wonder they still vote people without integrity in the Majlis Tertinggi. I can exactly say that there 2 persons who do not own respects by many thousand citizens.

Let the young do their jobs. Their jobs are learning the tradition, culture, basic mathematics , technology and other knowledge. Let their mind develop freely so that they can be critical and innovative. We want them to develop creative mind. You don't make them policemen and students at the same time lie it has been done before somewhere.

Who actually spoiled BN and UMNO ? The Duggong, the police, the judiciary and those involved in putting Anwar in jail. In short Dr M. It was not Pak Lah as what Dr M accused in his road show. No Malaysian had ever called a Prime Minister as Firaun before, but they did so to him. Everywhere I heard people were talking of killing him. Yes, that bad. Then people began to talk about Musa and Ghani Patail, and even Albar.

The killers of UMNO are those mentioned and from UMNO members themselves. Lucky Zamry did not fell the Democracy Tree, otherwise just that one tree could have brought BN down at Bukit Gantang. The tree, Saiful, Albar and a judge could bring BN down. Remember that.

If people choose PKR and the party does not do well, they will kick PKR and put BN back to power. In USA the Democrat and the Republican took turn to rule. None of them attack the young to gain political foothold. Let the young learn their basic of education for their living. Let them being creative and have free mind.

I got 3 kids. They are all for BN. They did not go thru political education. Every time they would point out the evil of PKR men and each time we hit back by showing more evils of the UMNO people. We pointed out the haughtiness of an UMNO workers at a work place who disregard the rules and regulations, acted like a king, in and out of the workplace as they like. Many people hate UMNO just by looking at these UMNO members.
