FIGHTING CANCER

my wife went in for her first chemo last thursday. i was beside her, watching them infuse the poison, into her. it was really heart breaking for me, to see such a lovely person so down and so sad. her eyes has lost that sparkle, and watching her in that situation, made me want to cry out . but how could i, i had to stay strong for both of us!

now after 4 days, and still on oral chemo at home, she is doing ok i guess, not allowing it to bring her down any further, she has gone back to her daily chores. makes me a little happy, to see her busy as before, and running our household again....wash your hands!, wash your hands!... so nice to hear those words again form my loving and dear wife... at least i have her back again....

FIGHTING CANCER

2011-10-18T15:36:00.003+08:00

Finally this dreaded disease has caught up with me.... i always thought that it will not reach my doorstep.. but it did finally.

My lovely and dearest wife was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.
24 months thats the death sentence the doctors gave her. i still think i am in a dream, just waiting to wake up, and all this will just go away. but life being such, it always gives that kick and keeps on kicking till you are down.

So finally after accepting the situation, and tons of research, we are fighting back. we don't even know if we will see tomorrow's sunrise, so whats 24 months?...that's what i told my wife.
She will be going for chemo on the 20th oct 2011, but we are also trying some alternative medication. TCM, fruit juice, supper food , and sabah snake grass.

hope fully God willing we can overcome this little spanner that life has thrown into our home. I am trying my best to stay confident and being positive as my wife is. Hopefully we can fight this and live to tell our story to the many suffers out there.

ZAID FINALLY SAID YES....

2009-06-13T18:29:00.002+08:00

Datuk Zaid Ibrahim’s decision to join PKR, was expected, and came as no surprise to anyone. I hope his intellect and moderate stand will be a beacon of light to all Malaysians, to have hope of a better government in future.
I hope this lawyer with wide experience can help guide and transform Pakatan Rakyat into a formidable force in the next election……may the force be with you!

Zaid on his entry into PKR:

“I’m confident in the party’s cause. I believe I have an opportunity to assist Anwar and PKR,” said Zaid.

“I am ready to help Pakatan become an alternative and viable government that the people can rely on.”

Now will MCA leaders follow?

This is what Malaysian-insider has to say:

Zaid’s entry into PKR could be the push factor to convince a number of MCA leaders because he is considered a moderate Malay leader widely accepted by the Chinese community.

The former Umno man is also widely seen as someone who brings a more multi-racial approach to the opposition alliance because of his moderate views on Islam and race relations.

What about MIC?

So far no word from any of the MIC leaders yet, but I am sure there must be some rumbling in their backyard.

What will UMNO say?

Your guess is as good as mine……..cheers

ONE ANGRY PAS MAN.....

2009-06-12T20:01:00.002+08:00

I found this posting in Malaysia for ALL blog. this is one angry youth... it has 60 questions.

read it if you can spare the time cheers....

An open letter to PAS Deputy President Nasharuddin Mat Isa

By An angry PAS youth leader (Malacca)

From: Malaysia for ALL blog

Ustaz Nasharuddin, when talking about PAS-Umno unity talk, please answer the following questions:

1. Why now?

2. Why not before the March 08 general elections?

3. What should we unite for? On what? About what? For what?

4. Is PAS a pure Islamic party that represents Malays and non-Malay Muslims or a Malay party?

5. What are the issues that we need to talk about? List them ONE by ONE. No cheap talk please!

6. Why PAS and Umno and not PAS, PKR DAP on one hand and Umno/BN on the other?

7. Why PAS and Umno and not PAS and PKR on one hand and Umno on the other?

8. Why you and not Najib Razak and Anwar Ibrahim, after all Anwar has more Malay support than you do and he is the head of Pakatan?

9. What is it that Umno lacks that need PAS support? The passage of Hudud laws in Parliament? Did Umno bring such laws to Parliament in the first place? And even if Umno were to do so, (which will never happen anyway), do we need to talk? Can't we support such amendments while we are pure PAS members in Parliament?

10. Why did we go into the elections to get PAS leaders of our own and now you are telling us that we need to follow Umno leaders? Do you know we paid many prices for being in PAS? Do you know that Umno tormented us for decades for being in PAS? Do we need to list the agony and pain we went through? Or Nik Aziz as Kelantan MB went through?

11. What is it that Umno led by Najib Razak realizes today that needs our support? Be specific. You aren't singing lullabies to children.

12. In what way do we keep the legacy of all past PAS Presidents by betraying their legacies when they left us for God's mercy?

13. Is Umno ready to improve the police, judiciary and civil service personnel that it needs our Parliamentary support?

14. And if that's the case, PKR and DAP will support such plans (which Umno will never do anyway), so when will we have PAS, PKR and DAP vs Umno “unity talk”?

15. Is it us who chose to be the enemies of Umno or Umno chose otherwise?

16. Is it us who tormented Umno people or it is us who paid heavy prices for being in PAS?

17. If the talk is about “issues concerning the nation” as you said, then why do we need constant talk about it in the media so much so that you fail in your parliamentary duties and as a PAS leader?

18. Is it PAS alone that's concerned about the nation? What about PR parties and NGOs? Are they part of the “issue driven discussions”?

19. Why are you interested in something that will divide PAS and make us lose focus while we are on threshold of achieving an imminent victory in the near future insya Allah?

20. Perak PAS Commissioner Ustaz Ahmad Awang revealed in the Muktamar that a “national PAS” leader has tried to influence him to accept an all Malay state government in Perak, who is this leader?

21. Do you think Malaysia as a nation state can continue to exist if we go on that road and impose Malay leadership on a state like Perak which has more than 45% non-Malay inhabitants?

22. In your opinion, was that leader right in suggesting that idea that Ustaz Ahmad Awang rejected?

23. Non-Muslims who have shunned us for 5 decades are running to us; do we embrace them and show them the hospitality and protection Islam offers them or do we return them to the “enemy” they ran from?

24. Umno started attacking the Chinese and Indians when they deserted Umno for PAS, yet Umno won in 1999 on Chinese and Indian vote and not Malay vote, why did Umno not call for Malay unity?

25. Is it only PAS that needs to be fearful of Malays when it gets non-Malay vote? Since when did PAS Malay supporters show enmity towards non-Muslim PAS supporters? Did PAS lose Malay ground by getting Chinese and Indian support? If that's the case, why is Umno desperately trying to woo them back?

26. Do you think Umno would talk of Malay unity if it was getting the “fixed deposit” Chinese and Indian votes as usual?

27. How would Islam's image be affected by your betrayal to the non-Muslims?

28. Do you know that for Islam to be implemented in Malaysia, we need the understanding of the non-Muslim community? Did we learn from Sudan's former military President Jaafar Nimeiri who imposed Sharia while ignoring the views of the non-Muslim community? Many Islamic scholars implored him to “at least” make the non-Muslim community to understand what was being done. But Nimeiri being a military man went ahead and declared Sudan an Islamic state and crushed all the opposition. Today, we have Southern Sudan (to be a separate nation in 2011) as a result. The nation continues to bleed till today. All it took was for one man to rush and pretend that he was intelligent and “God fearing” and that he was “uniting Muslims under God's decrees”.

29. Do you appreciate that Anwar Ibrahim and Lim Kit Siang have been useful to us?

30. Do you appreciate that DAP has improved our image in the Chinese heartland so much so that Chinese villagers who would have puked at seeing PAS's flag today overwhelmingly vote for us?

31. If yes, how do we repay them? Do we betray them and ignore them or we build better bridges with them and from thereon move forward and have our direct contact with the Chinese community established?

32. Do you appreciate that PKR and DAP have been useful to us? Between Umno and PKR and DAP, which party(ies) has helped us to be where we are now? Umno fought us, fights us and continues to do so in a cruel manner, do PKR and DAP do the same?

33. Do you believe PAS alone can rule Malaysia NOW? If yes, how? If not, how do we go about it?

34. Do you believe that Anwar Ibrahim's New Economic Agenda, the Lingam Tapes, his detailed NEP misuse information, his mistreatment at the hands of Umno, the 1998 episode, his charisma, his experience, his networks, his campaign for our members in different states and his ability to convince DAP leaders to stop attacking PAS and instead concentrate on Umno has been useful to PAS and enabled us to win in a number of places we couldn't imagine? Remember, it was only Anwar and Raja Petra Kamaruddin who repeatedly said Umno will be routed prior to the elections while BN media practically lynched Anwar and asked “who is Anwar”?

35. If your answer is yes, how do we repay him? Do we betray him now or we work with him and after he leaves, we install either you, Husam or Mohd Nizar as a replacement? If not, tell us how you won your seat in Yan in Kedah in 1999.

36. If you have popular Malay support, why did you lose in Besut? Why did PAS lose Terengganu since we are “more Malay” than Umno itself? Did you learn something? Why did Nik Aziz maintain his grip on Kelantan? Any lessons?

37. We used Mohd Nizar as an experiment and it yielded results; how do we achieve a national result now? And in what way does talking to Umno make PAS's ideals realized?

38. An Islamic party has a moral duty to its Muslim and non-Muslim friends. Why are you reluctant to have a “unity talk” with either PKR or DAP or at least PKR which is a multiracial party but a Malay majority party in the grip of Malay leadership as well? Where is your honour in showing respect to comrades who struggle(d) with you?

39. What are the similarities between Umno and PAS that necessitates talk in the first place?

40. Many of our leaders are victims of ISA and other cruel Umno engineered rulings just like all PKR and DAP leaders are as well, what are the ideals we share with Umno that calls for PAS to desert like-minded PKR and DAP leaders for Umno leaders like Najib, Nazri Aziz, Kerismuddin, Bung Mukhtar Radin and Khairy?

41. PAS contested non-Malay seats and won (take Dr Siti Mariah for example); PKR (Malay MPs) have contested non-Malay seats (take Zahrain Mohd Hashem of Penang-PKR) but DAP didn't contest a single seat with Malay majority. So, in what way does DAP constitute a danger to us?

42. If Malays are divided, who is to blame? And when did this division start? How and why was PKR formed? Why was PAS ejected out of BN when we joined them after we lost everything?

43. Which party closed its door on many Malays and even passed a resolution banning the return of any party member who has defected to another party? Umno! The same Umno wants Malay unity now? You buy that? And that unity is about what? After all, even a husband and a wife are not united!

44. PAS has been there for decades, were we united with Umno? If the unity talk is about issues, we supported Umno on certain issues in the past and we can do now when need be, so why talk about unity?

45. Does Umno have a heavenly decree to rule Malaysia and lead the Malays? Why NOT insist on PAS totally replacing Umno as the dominant party in Malaysia and lead Malaysia as well?

46. In what way do we achieve PAS's struggle by talking to Umno or uniting with it?

47. PKR and DAP have supported issue based discussions in the past. Anwar said he is ready to meet Najib on Perak. Anwar said he is ready to support constitutional changes that improve the judiciary and other state institutions. Lim Kit Siang repeated the same. But they didn't talk about PKR-Umno unity or Umno-DAP unity! Why us? Can't we be a constructive opposition party without ever meeting Umno face to face?

48. Why do you need to demoralize the highly charged PAS now?

49. Umno Kelantan leader Che-Alwi has called on Tok Guru Nik Aziz to resign since he couldn't get his “people” into PAS Central working committee, do you realise that it is you more than any one else who has divided PAS and is confusing the younger cadres? And do you cherish Umno leaders badmouthing PAS' most respected political figure? Yet you want to talk to Umno? So you want to reward them for humiliating Nik Aziz?

50. Khairy launched a scathing attack on Tok Guru Nik Aziz and hired Mat Rempits during last year's elections, he said Nik Aziz failed and can't provide leadership. He came up with the Pade-doh campaign that humiliated the elderly leader. Tok Guru cried and many of us did whatever we could to rally to him. The same Khairy today says we should unite. So you support Khairy instead of Nik Aziz? For you Khairy and his ilk are better than Nik Aziz? Explain yourself!

51. Why are you wasting PAS's time on irrelevant issues that will never happen rather than strengthen the party, raise its profile among the unwilling Malay supporters and further engage the non-Malays, Sarawakians and Sabahans?

52. Why are you silent? Why is Utusan your media? Why not the popular blogs, Malaysiakini, Malaysian Insider, Malaysia-Today, The Nutgraph etc?

53. Tell us what you have done for PAS and PR in regard to making policies, revising them or coming up with issues that are of concern to Malaysians.

54. Rather than wasting your time in seeking Utusan Malaysia coverage, why not spend time with PAS's soldiers in the trenches in Negri Sembilan, Johore, Pahang, Malacca and other states who are preparing for the future?

55. Umno won't give PAS the PM post, so why should we talk? Doesn't that mean you despise your own leaders?

56. You can't manage a simple victory like the one we have had now, how do you intend to manage a bigger one? You are exactly the kind of leaders martyr Sayid Qutb warned against when he wrote in his “This Religion” book that an Islamic leader who can't manage victory will betray Islam's cause.

57. Do you know for a leader to succeed, he has to be loved by his soldiers? Why are you making yourself hated in PAS and Pakatan? Why not listen to what the voters want? Are you honest with your Creator and yourself and with us?

58. What gives you the strength to contradict Tok Guru Nik Aziz? Is he your age-mate? Can you tell us one achievement he has accomplished on any front that you remotely even tried to achieve let alone achieving?

59. Many people (the intellectuals, economists, authors, NGO's and highly educated/urbanite Malays) don't understand PAS. What have you done in the past one year for them to understand us? What have you done to make PAS liked by all people so that it becomes a giant party in the future and even rule alone or with PKR?

60. Umno is for racism which is haram in Islam, selective justice, tribal hegemony, oppression, exploitation, endemic corruption, family rule, hatred, division, lies, sodomy and dirty politics, total destruction of state institutions (look at Perak), and in Umno's history, it has the least popular leader in Najib Razak today. For God's sake, what do we benefit from such a party and scandalized leadership? Do you believe we share more with Umno than with PKR and DAP?

We are waiting for answers and we demand them now. We are becoming impatient. When we voted for you (including myself who is a youth leader from Malacca), we did it because we hate to humiliate incumbent leaders and your age also mattered.

You were young and we thought a new chance had to be given to you. Removing an incumbent was more traumatizing for us as PAS members than installing a new one. That is why Datuk Husam Musa was not elected. It is not that he is not liked. He is indeed. Far more liked than you. From now on, we demand that you stop your unity talk nonsense and concentrate on PAS and PR. Otherwise tell us the truth and then we can go our separate ways. As simple as that!

ENGLISH COMPULSORY ?

2009-06-09T16:14:00.004+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR (June 8, 2009) :
The Education Ministry wants to make a pass in English compulsory for students to obtain their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia.

Dear DPM Muhyiddin,

Your heart is in the right place, but your brains is a non starter! do you know how many students are going to fail if this imbecillic idea is implemented!....

you cannot teach old dogs new tricks, was justly said. if you really want our schools to improve, start at the very bottom of the chain. yes start with the pre school and primary ones. it will take 17 years from now to have a batch of decent english speaking students, but thats the way it should be!.... no quick fix super glue ,here and there.... it must start from the roots, only then the tree will be strong.

it's just like telling all your ministers to study hindi, and if they fail, they will be kicked out. i guess no minister's will be left. thats the problem with you people, all you want is quick fix without having any real concept of reality.

to start with, do you have the logistics ? do you have the teachers ? i guess thats why it is said that the the art of politics is to look for trouble, finding it everywhere , diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies!

although you see the need to master english (which is good), is far sighted and malaysia needs it rightly so, you have to be more patience in the implementation. it took 25 years for the system to change from english to bahasa, so if really want the best for our future, start at the roots and stop barking at the wrong tree.....cheers

1MALAYSIA

2009-06-07T11:11:00.002+08:00

What is 1Malaysia?

Our country will mesmerize the WORLD if only 1MALAYSIA follow these steps!

The CAT concept

1) having a Competent government
2) having a Accountable government
3) having a Transparent government….. in short a CAT system

The separation of powers concept

1) the executive, the legislative, the judiciary, the monarchy should be strictly independent.
2) A neutral party (royal commission) with draconian powers to investigate and bring to justices all the wrong doers in the four branches of the government, without fear or favor.

The civil service concept

1) to free the civil service of political baggage
2) to implement a system of meritocracy
3) to provide service that transcends ethnic and racial discrimination and to bastardise cronyism and nepotism

The publico philosophy concept

1) to create an atmosphere of racial harmony by removing all racial barriers and throwing the books at racist (Start with Awang Selamat ).
2) To have a world class education system, by nurturing the best young brains and hiring the best intellectual’s to teach and educated our young.
3) To implement a policy of equitable distribution of wealth and to rid the country of corruption, hypocrites, neantherdal politicians and brain deficiencies moronic leaders masquerading as statesman.

Malaysia is such a beautiful country, gifted with much natural resources and talent. But after 50 years of independence , we still no where what our neighbour Singapore is. Look at their education system, transport system, health system, housing system all world class, all archived with almost zero natural resources. Why can’t we be like them? For one thing, with people like the psycho Awang Selamat still running loose in our neighbourhood, and sodomizing the harmony of our nation with his idiotic malaise we will still be a third world country come another 50 years!

IT'S LAUNDRY DAY

2009-05-28T21:24:00.006+08:00

When retired government servants are maneuvered to a corner, and their rice bowl is sodomized, then all the conspiracy and dirty laundry comes out in public...

Mat Zain has finally lite the fuse too an explosive story which, i can only assume will send many people running for cover. The blogger sphere will be running out of broadband space with these explosive story for the next few days.

Many high profile people were mentioned in his statement, so will all these moronic scrotum bags, who masquerade as esteemed stalwart of law and order in bolehland, finally see doom?

I guess not, as these chauvinist draconian beneficiaries who assume that its their birthright to rape, bastardise and mortgage our bolehland, will yet find another loophole to counter this transgression of their private play ground. As it was once said "our path is such that even angels dare not tread.

So Mat Zain, I only hope you will not be another PI bala, but if you intend to stay and fight, may God protect you........cheers

NH CHAN- UNJUST JUSTICE

2009-05-26T16:20:00.003+08:00

NH Chan, a retired judge of the courts of Appeal wrote in the malaysian insider that the three judges of the court of appeal which heard the Nizar/zambry appeal on who is the true MB, has said the that the judgment is wrong.

Now why am I not surprised? Everybody in Perak and Malaysia (except for BN ) knows these as for a fact. The learned judge NH Chan gave a detailed breakdown of the facts in his article in the insider. He even priased the High Court judge Abdul Aziz for the impeccable judgement.

a small extract of NH CHANS article from malaysianinsider:

It seems to us ordinary folk that the Court of Appeal has missed the point. They decided that Zambry was properly appointed Mentri Besar under Article XVI(6). That is not correct — he could only be appointed under Article XVI(2)(a). Since there cannot be two Mentri Besar and Nizar the incumbent Mentri Besar has not resigned and, further, since the legislative assembly did not decide if he has ceased to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the assembly, Nizar, unquestionably, is still the Mentri Besar of Perak.

Before I sign off, I wish to say a few nice words to the High Court judge. Mr Justice Abul Aziz Abdul Rahim is a fantastic judge. The judgment, especially the piece on the interpretation of Article XVI(6), is so good that it has persuaded me to change my mind on my view of Article XVI(6). If you remember my first article, I have expressed an opinion on Article XVI(6). Now I know I was wrong — and I have to thank Abdul Aziz J for showing me the way.

So now can we throw the books at these three judges, for the wrong judgement?

PKR BRIBED ME

2009-05-25T18:35:00.003+08:00

(picture from malaysiakini)

If what this lady "Aminah " says is true, then PKR is no better then UMNO. She has audio as well as video to support her case. I sure would like to get my hands on these evidence, just to see the truth of the matter with my own eyes and ears.

In this day and age its is difficult to discriminate truth from fiction. If it is true then I hope the ACA will come down hard on the cronies and the people behind them. If it is staged evidence then I hope the police will do their job.

But I am also wondering...... is not penanti in Anwar's backyard, and PKR is 100% confidence in retaining this seat. Then why (if Aminah is truthful), go to this extend?.....It makes no sense to me? Or is it another drama to make Penanti election more dramatic since UMNO is no show?

As in most matters we layman only can wait and watch as the drama minggu ini plays itself out....cheers

KHIR TOYO CRIES WOLF

2009-05-20T15:48:00.004+08:00

Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo, who was yesterday suspended for a year from the Selangor State Assembly, vowed today to continue speaking out against the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government.

In his defence, Khir said Selcat has no right to investigate Balkis as the organisation was under the jurisdiction of the Registrar of Societies (ROS).

Why is this guy so stupid? The money misused is from Selangor state government and thus public money. So they have every right to ask for accountability. How did this joker become an MB? The hypocrisy of it all. My dear ex-mb, bark all you want, as barking dogs seldom bite!
I am wondering why the Anti-corruption people are mum on this one?

“ CORRUPTION HAS NO EXPIRIE DATE”

Another strange thing is the silence from his supporters is deafening……or has Najibs administration abundant this guy for good?....cheers

MAT REMPIT RELABELED?

2009-05-20T13:31:00.002+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have relabelled Mat Rempit as road thugs (samseng jalanan) and are now seeking a mandatory jail sentence for them.

A typical “Mat Rempit” tends to be in his youth, and being youthful and all the energy to spare tend to have an affinity for high speed motorcycle races and performing stunts on public roads. Sounds like fun, but they are also known for their mob mentality (if one crashes into you on the road, expect his posse to come and beat you, and your car, up). Mob mentality aside, they also sometimes double up as roadside snatch thieves.

Recent media highlights of snatch thieves, causing death , has put them in very bad light.
I don’t understand how changing their names to road thugs, will help reduce this problem? What the PDRM should be doing is get to the root of the problem. Why this people want to be mat rempits, Then engage them and find a solution. No point just talking and having long prison terms to solve the problem. These are young people, thus they can be changed, if handled properly.

As we know youngsters are basically rebellious and it’s a phase they go through, no point putting a black mark on their records. Yes they will be some hardcore ones, and for these people PDRM should bring the maximum weight of the law on to them.

I am sure if PDRM put more man power out on to the roads, especially at night the problem can be reduced. But you and I know that PDRM are too busy doing other things
That they cannot afford to put more manpower to keep our roads safe. A case of priority problem. Hope the PDRM leaders can set their priority straight, instead of chasing innocent public on peaceful demonstration!.......cheers

PENANTI SURRENDER

2009-05-19T11:36:00.020+08:00

Najib has taken a calculated risk in making this landmark decision.

First he went against Dr M advise and second he has further dented the sagging morale in BN.

So now the question is are we going to see Dr M's gun trained on his blue eyed boy?. To bite the hand that feeds you is very very dangerous ,just ask Badawi, he is the right person to advice, as he had first hand experince.

The morale of BN has been on the rocks since the 2008 elections, now with this decision , there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel, and I am sure many in the BN's group will be asking why?.

Yes the reason given is logical, wasting money, don't want to play political games with PR....ect

Why not be truthful instead?....WE CANNOT WIN, SO WE WON'T CONTEST!

I guess the truth hurts!

as G Marx once said:

"politics is the art of looking for trouble , finding it everywhere, diagnosing it

incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies...." hope this is not the case..cheers

RULE OF THUMB

2009-05-16T11:33:00.002+08:00

With all the wars going on, MB wars, speaker wars and what no, Don’t despair, relax, tomorrow is another day to fight.

In the meantime take a break and chill out and impress you friends and family with this good to know knowledge.

1) In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.
Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'

2) Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'G entlemen

O nly...L adies F orbidden'...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

3) The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

4) It is impossible to lick your elbow.

5) If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter 'A'? Meaning spell , one, two three, four….. until you come to a number with the letter ‘a” in it. Would you believe me if I told you , it will take a long count before you reach it. 0 to 999 does not have any letter ‘a’ in it! Thousand is the first in the number series with a ‘a’ in it.

6) The only food that does not spoil is ‘Honey’

Footnote: at least 95% of people who read this will have tried to lick their elbow!

Yours truly included……..cheers

SPEAKER WARS

2009-05-15T14:54:00.007+08:00

Sivakumar files suit against Ganesan

UPDATED-MALAYSIANINSIDER

IPOH, May 15 — Ousted Perak Speaker V. Sivakumar has filed an injunction to stop Barisan Nasional’s Datuk R. Ganesan from preventing the former from exercising his duties as the legitimate speaker.

Should the court hear the suit, which was filed at the Ipoh High Court at 11.45am, it will force the judiciary to settle the issue of who is the rightful speaker, a position central to the current impasse.

Great now the real speaker and the not so real speaker are in the ring....i am flabbergasted, why the PM is dragging his leg on this one. While the real beneficiaries can just sit and watch!...Hello, knock, knock, MR 1MPM6, yes you Najib, has not this preposterous , pathetic, audaciouslly sodomized PERAK state had enough!

Has not the masquerade gone far enough? Have not we embarrassed Malaysia enough. Can we drop the chauvinist EGO and get to work. Are you waiting for divine intervention.
Stop this rape on our democracy and the mortgage of our integrity..... forget the courts.....DO THE RIGHT THING.......FOR THE SAKE OF 1MALAYSIA!

NEXT CHANGE-PERAK POLLS

2009-05-14T18:27:00.004+08:00

As the pressure cooker in Perak is boiling, the talk of by-elections is getting more support.

Now MCA vp has also joined in the bandwagon, calling najib to heed the peoples wishes.

As the pressure mounts , looks like the seams are cracking at the sides and looks like our MB sesat

would be made the fall-guy?

najib has washed his hands ,when he said mahatama camry kadeer was his point man in Perak.

punters odds for now is BN will only manage 15 seats if it goes to election, with 2 seats borderline case.

Now you know why BN is dead set against any by election.......cheers

NAJIB MAKE UP YOUR MIND PLS!

2009-05-14T13:32:00.003+08:00

Yesterday say one thing, today say one thing, then tommorow what?

Yesterday cakap let that mahatma zambry kadeer decide .

Then today cakap let Sultan Perak decide.

Tommorow i suggest you take that submarine of yours and leave, dont't come back!

come on man you are the PM of this country! Order the real MB and the not so real MB of perak

to pay a visit to the Sultan of Perak and solve this grave that you dug.

maybe than can you win back some credibility!!!......cheers

IS ISA ON THE WAY OUT

Home Minister: Mr Hishammuddin said he would be chairing a committee that would bring together legal experts from various departments under the ministry in an effort to look at outdated laws, including those related to the Internal Security Act .

'The review of the ISA involves looking at possible amendments to many Acts that I myself see as being no longer suitable,' he said. - THE STAR/ANN

SPEAKER HARAM SAYS HE’S HALAL

2009-05-13T16:47:00.002+08:00

Two time looser speaker haram Ganesan is self proclaiming he his halal.
He proclaims everything done to elect him was by the BOOK?????
Which book?
How thick a skin can one have? First without shame the Gandhi wannabe, Pangkor Pele walks into the state secretariat building with police escort and sits in the MB chair without shame, even after the high court ruled him as haram. Pretending like nothing happened.

Then this syunkai haram speaker says he is elected by the book. I think this guy is a lawyer of some sort, and me thinks he is using his wrong end to do his thinking and speaking. My dear speaker haram if have the two nuts that GOD gave you , please go to the central market in IPOH and say those words again “ I am the speaker”, instead of hiding behind that split personality dr camry. If the people of Ipoh don’t run you out of town, then you can be the speaker.

“ NATURE GAVE US TWO ENDS, ONE TO THINK , ONE TO SHIT”
SO PLEASE USE THE RIGHT ONE WHEN YOU SPEAK …….CHEERS

I feel very sorry for our brothers and sisters in Perak. Not only has the courts dashed the hopes of the people in Perak, but now they have a more dangerous problem knocking at their door!

DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE!

The Camry guy , coincidently also a doctor could not decide if he is Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi..... and to top it all up he got confused and quoted from Matin Luther king.

Which is it you wannabe Dr Camry? Gandhi, Mandela, Martin or MB of Perak? Everything also want? How can lah....... as the teo chew people say... i pee, i chee, i tua liap nee.....(trying to brush up on my teo chew here).

THE MOST EXPENSIVE ASS IN MALAYSIA

2009-05-12T13:04:00.002+08:00

A big tycoon was conned into investing $25 million in a donkey, so says the rumors in the blogger sphere. I hate rumors, and I hate liars.

But I could not understand why would any numbskull pay such good money in the first place to buy a donkey that goes hee haw and bites people and tell lies, that’s why I say it is not true.

A donkey is just that a totally stupid ass, nothing more nothing less.
You may ask what are the lies that this $25 million donkey said, wah lau man, a talking ass, a donkey that talks and tell lies, wait a minute, can that be why it cost that much money??. The tycoon is not stupid after all, but still its only rumors , no proof, and I hate rumors and liars!

Anyway what did the donkey lie about?
Well it all started in may 2008, when it was reported that a donkey who became a dun wanted to defect to greener pasture . But the dun donkey (DD) said, quote “I am aware of the rumors but claimed to be in the dark as to who were behind it and what were their motives. I don’t want to be drawn into this discussion, if it is real, the truth will reveal itself in time... Time will tell." Unquote

Then in feb 2009, this DD went missing: "DD disappeared for over 12 hours, leaving DAP leaders sweating and desperately trying to locate DD, thereby adding to speculation that DD would cross over to greener pastures. But after they managed to get the DD, it reiterated that DD has NEVER entertained any intention to defect to greener pastures or to leave the DAP.

The very next day you see the msm flashing this picture!

I hate rumors and I hate liars. I am thinking loud, why is our esteemed PM seen with this liar? Can there be any truth to the saying “ birds of a feather flock together” ? NO, absolutely no, I disagree, our PM is above this, our PM is not a liar, come on man, he came out with the 1Malaysia, how can anyone who comes up with that be a liar, definitely not!
Then why is he in the picture , I think it’s a conspiracy, to discredit our beloved PM.
Well anyway back to the DD, so the DD finally jumped ship after lying all this while.
I hate rumors and I hate liars.

Then on may 7th , DD showed the whole world why a donkey should not be taken for granted.
At a press conference, just after the perak fiasco, DD had claimed that it pointed it’s hotel key-chain and not a pepper spray canister at YB Yee.
But then being an ass, the donkey never understood that we have digital cameras, and instant pictures. “ a picture says a thousand words”.

DD now made a u turn and claims that the canister allegedly used against Yee did not belong to it.

DD claimed that someone from the assembly sitting had thrown the canister in it’s direction and it had just picked it up from the floor and asked Yew whether the item belonged to him. it said that is all it did. I hate rumors and liars.

Now I am wondering whether the tycoon’s investment was worth it?. Or would he be cutting his loss and try to regain his money? …… my suggestion is hold on to your investment , as you can use it for other purpose. One suggestion, is use the MSM to spin the donkey story and make money to recoup your loss. How you ask : I have attached a sample below…….cheers

(recycled from an earlier post- on how newspapers can spin a story)

A pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.

The local paper read:

PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid
of the donkey.

The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline
the next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN

The bishop fainted.
He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so
she sold it to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read:

NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10 *

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back
the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE *

The bishop was buried the next day.

NIZAR RIGHTFUL MB- HIGH COURT

FROM STAR:

KUALA LUMPUR (The Star Online): The High Court here ruled rule on Monday that Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin is the rightful Perak Mentri Besar, and not Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.

CORPORATE LESSON 1

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower when the doorbell rings.
After a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you 800 dollars to drop that towel you have on."
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her 800 dollars and leaves.
Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up in
the towel and goes back upstairs.

When she gets back to the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower, "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the 800 dollars he
owes me?"

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk in time
with your stakeholders, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable
exposure.

The Father say’s onething, the Son say’s another???

FATHERS SAY’S THUS:

(The Edge) PUTRAJAYA: Barisan Nasional (BN) acted too hastily in Perak and monarchs cannot remove elected heads of government.

On the eve of the continuance of Perak’s constitutional crisis, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said: "Under the Federal Constitution, as far as I know, very clearly states that the monarch cannot remove the prime minister.

Mahathir also refused to speculate on the legality of Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir’s appointment as menteri besar of Perak, saying that the matter now lies with the courts.

But the 83-year-old said that BN should have been more careful in the Perak takeover and that the coalition had acted "hastily".

THE SON SAY’S THUS?

(MALAYSIAN INSIDER) KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir tonight defended Barisan Nasional’s takeover of Perak, saying the party’s actions were legitimate.

“This is all technical, I think what Barisan Nasional has been doing is within the rights of the state party so I don’t there should be any problems. I hope they won’t make it into such a big issue by causing chaos and disturbing the peace in the state,” the International Trade and Industry deputy minister said.

I SAY THUS:

Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be a prime minister, and anyone who does’nt grow up can be a deputy minister……cheers

Even a top ranking officer can be robbed in his own home, what about we the layman? How safe

Whats become of Johor Baru? It used to be such a nice and safe place years back.
Almost every otherday, the newspapers in singapore too, flashes reports of singaporean
getting robbed in Johor baru.

This is really bad and if the "state gomen " does not take any action, Johor Baru will be a ghost town soon.........cheers

Judiciary Delivery System Has Improved, Says CJ

2009-05-01T11:13:00.005+08:00

According to Bernama -- The judiciary now has shown an improvement in its delivery system particularly in clearing backlogged cases and file searching in courts

Chief Justice Tan Sri Zaki Tun Azmi said: "All these are positive signs and things have started changing.

It is really good that something is working in our country. Its what our PM ordered. Deliver as promised!

My grocery supplier also has the best delivery system in the whole universe. from the time i make my order,
he takes only 35mins to have it delivered to my doorstep. But i have one problem though.....
i requested for a chicken but he delivered a duck.....i called him to complain, but all he could say was
" alamak we delivered lah and on record time , whats your problem? "

"EXTRACT FROM MI "

Dr Mohd Khir said in his opinion, 1 Malaysia meant the country belonged to all races and no one should be left out economically.

Dr Mohd Khir also urged the government to open more sub-sectors to non-Malays especially in local authorities and for more government jobs to be set aside for them.

He pointed out that the Indian community was especially in need of help.

“I realised this a bit too late, and only during my fifth year as mentri besar, because I was not told about how bad things were for them.”

He said he only knew something was seriously wrong when informed by the police that 40 per cent of crimes committed involved the Indian community.

He said he was shocked to learn that some estate workers earned between RM400 and RM500 a month only when he visited an estate in Kuala Selangor...........

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.

ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?

WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

A short story to exercise your mind:

An army officer got back home after a long time in the warzone.

One sunday morning he accompanied his wife to church.

But during the long sermon he dozed off and had a dream.

In his dream, he was back at the warzone and dreamt that he was captured by

the enemy, and just as the executioner was rising his axe to chop of his head,

his wife hit his neck with a newspaper to wake him up. The shock was to great for

him and he died instantly on the spot.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS STORY, IT CANNOT BE POSSIBLY TRUE...

TUN Dr. Mahathir-GRAND-OLD-MAN

2009-04-06T19:35:00.003+08:00

What has he got, that the rest of us don't?

The grand old man of politics is up and running again. At his age 80++, thats something i really envy! Even at my age 50++, i find getting up in the morning and heading to work so difficult. How does he do it?

i have never met the Dr, but if given the opportunity i would surely like to sit dowm with him and learn his receipe for life.

I cannot say i don't like the man, as i have not met him. But respect for him I certainly have, not because of his personality, but because he is a good CEO. And putting malaysia on the world stage was his baby....that i respect.

The look east policy his brain child, has brought dividends and many more policies during his PMship, brought malaysia to where it is today.

The darkside to the man, many malaysians including me cannot stand him. So now that his choosen boy is the PM, what will be his share of the political cake ? Single handed he brought down Tun Badawi. Will Najib be willing to take the gamble to cross the old Lion? Will the electric train and the crooked causeway be back on the drawing board? Time will tell.

The tv1 live broadcast of Tun DR today, surely says something to us. UMNO has woken up, and are going all out to prove a point, in the 2 bukits and one batang. So don't write off this old man of politics yet, he still has the bite and like a hound he can sniff out blood and cuts in the the pakatan rakyat and expolit it like no other UMNO leader can.

so if you're betting on tomorrows outcome, better cover your bets, because the equation is not so straight forward this time. Tun DR M may be old but not out yet!...cheers

MORE COMPUTER TIPS

2009-03-27T18:04:00.004+08:00

DELETING FILES:

when you delete a file in windows xp, it puts it in the recycle bin. its a safeguard, built into the os, so that you can always restore the file if want it
back. files in the recycle bin do takeup space in your hardisk. so to erase a file "permanently" you will have to empty the recycle bin...sort of double
handling don't you think?.
if you are sure you do not need the file, you can bypass the recyle bin and delete the file "permanently". (especially files your wife/husband should not see) how?

1) click the file you want to delete

2) hold the shift key and hit delete

3) a window will pop to give you one chance to reconsider. hit yes , thats it you file is gone.

can you recover files erased this way. answer is yes and no......but thats for another time....

another tip before i log off:
if you are keen to see detailed info of you computer, to see if your vendor has given you all that he promised in his delivery order, just do the following:

1) click start

2) select run

3) type dxdiag and hit enter

out pops the devil himself. click the tabs to look through the whole system
and you can also test your speakers and other things.........enjoy

PROGRAMING FX9860-LEVELING

2009-02-07T13:19:00.004+08:00

its nice to be back after such a long-long time. been busy with work, travelling and other things. one of my staff a land surveyor recently bought a casio fx9860 calculator and was at a lost to programing the new toy.

the manual that came with it was useless and no help. i had a look at it, took me about two hours to understand the menu systems and keys (the most difficult part). but once you understand this then programing this calculator is a breeze!(that is if you understand programing concepts).

well anyway if you are keen to learn how to program(i.e not just become a parrot and copy other people's program), i have listed below a small program for land surveyors who use the level machine to fly levels frequently, with explainations on the steps involved. hope its useful to you.

1. Once your calculator is turned on, enter the PRGM mode, using either the arrows on your keypad and press the blue EXE key, or simply press the button which corresponds to the letter B (log).

2. Most likely, the program list is empty. If there are programs present, just ignore them for the moment. To start a new program, press NEW (F3).

3. Enter in a name for your program. For starters, we’ll call our new program "LEVELING". To enter in the letters, use the buttons that correspond to the letters above the keys. Once the word "LEVELING" is written, press the blue EXE key to enter it. You will be moved then to the working area of the TEXT program. This is where the program writing begins.

4. Let’s enter in the text "-99 TO STOP".

5.Notice that the text is in inverted commas. This is intentional because when you enter text, which is to be displayed, you must encase it in inverted commas.
The " is found in the CHAR option (F6), located in the bottom right hand side of the screen. In this menu is the " option (F2).(if don't see CHAR, press the exit key until you see it)

ok this is the program code that we are going to type into the calculator.(leave out the number and brackets, i am using it to explain the program by line numbers. ) e.g line 1 should be typed as "-99 TO STOP"in your calculator.( i.e. all the blue lines)

1) "-99 TO STOP"    (char(f6 key), sybl (f2 key) then select " and press exe key, then - 99 shift-alpha, . (the fullstop creates a space ), to . stop , then f6 key select " exe and exe ,alpha key to release text mode.

2) Clrtext (this is a command, not typed, to search for this command do the following. press shift then the vars key, you will see the menu at bottom of the screen has changed. press f6, then press f1 and f1 again , the clrtext should be on your screen. press exe key.

3) ClrList (while still on the same menu press f3 key , you should see clrlist on your screen, then exe key. note it is important to press the exe key after every line

4) "TBM"? →A (ok this you can do yourself.(hint press the exit key until you come to required menu. (see line 1 if you forgot how to go to the char menu). the 3 new items here is the ?, →, A . to insert the ? mark, use shift, vars, f4, to insert →, use the key on your calculator(found below the "tan" key. to insert the letter A, press the alpha key and press the key showing the letter A, shown in red (below the alpha key), then don't forget to press the exe key.

5) "BS"? →B (key in as shown abve)

6) Clrtext   (key in as shown abve)

7) A+B →C   (key in as shown abve)

8) 0 →K    (key in as shown abve, the 0 is zero not the letter "o")

9) Lbl 0 ( the " lbl 0 (zero not letter "o")" is found at shift,vars,f3,f1, then use the keypad for zero, and press exe key.

10) Isz K (under same menu, f4( for isz command), use keypad for letter k, dont forget to press alpha first to get the letter k, and press exe.

11) Clrtext   (key in as shown abve)

12) "FS"? →D (key in as shown abve)

13) D= -99 => Goto 1   (key in as shown abve, the goto command found at shift, vars,f3,f2, use keypad for number 1)

14) C-D →E   (key in as shown abve)

15) "LEVEL=": E ◄ (key in as shown abve, the symbol at the end of E is a command ,found at shift,vars,f5. in this case the after this symbol the cusor automatically moves down on step, so the exe key is not used for this line.)

16) E →List 5[K] ( the "list" command is found at optn,f1,f1, the brackets from key pad)

17) "BS"? →B (remember to press exe after evry line!!!!!)

18) B= -99 => Goto 1

19) B+E →C

20) Goto 0 (0 is zero)

21) LBL 1

22) List 5 ◄ (exe key not necessary when using this symbol "◄")

ok now that you have typed in the commans, hopefully without any mistakes, you should test the program. go to menu (found in the keypad) , prgm, exe, look for leveling prog and exe it, if you are a surveyor you will know what values to input. to exit just punch in -99 to exit the prog.

ok now lets lookunder the hood, to see how this engine runs.

line 1 instrusts the user to punch -99 to quit the prog. anything in between the quotaton marks are displayed. this is useful to give instructions to the user.

line 2 and line 3 are commands, to clear the screen

line 4,5 is requesting the user to input some value. Entering the ? symbol tells the calculator to pause while the user enters a number. The →A then tells the calculator to store the value in the memory A. This storing is essential to programs, so that we can recall this data to perform other tasks.

line 7, adds the values stored in a and b and stores it in memory c

line 9, is a command . "lbl 1" is a label. when the prog encounters a "goto" command, it will search for a lbl label to go to. e.g. when the prog comes to a goto 1 command, it will stop and jump to Lbl 1 and start execution from that line.

line 10, isz, is a command to increase the vaue of the memory k by 1 every time it comes to this line. this is like a counter. i use it to put all the results in the calculation to form a list at the end of the prog. its a bit difficult to understand, if you are not a programer, but i suggest you to google it to find out more.

the rest of the lines you should be able to figure out by yourself.

hope it helped someone out there....................... cheers

HOW THE NEWSPAPERS DISTORT TRUTH

2008-10-23T21:23:00.003+08:00

Its good to be back! (my work keeps me away from civilization)

Anyway just a short example on how a reporter can distort any news to sway public opinion.

A pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.

The local paper read:

PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid
of the donkey.

The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline
the next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN

The bishop fainted.
He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so
she sold it to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read:

NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10 *

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back
the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE *

The bishop was buried the next day.

CHEERS!!

ARE WE ALL RACIST ?

2008-10-05T13:45:00.000+08:00

To a certain extend I believe this to be true. Nobody in this world can deny this fact!. Yes we try very hard not to be one and I like to think we are above this racist problem. But the fact is the color of the skin plays a very important part in our daily life. We cannot sweep this fact under the carpet and say everything is nice and dandy. Yes most of us try our best not to be racist, we choose our words carefully and try our uttermost to be considerate, to all cultures.
I have travelled the world and have yet to find a place where racism does not exists. Yes there are laws in every country to protect us from racial problems. The fact that these laws exists speaks volumes about this matter. Why do you need laws if there is no racism?.
It will take many generations , to overcome this hurdle, because as I see the world as it is now, the only way to have proper control over everyone is divide and rule. This in away wakes up racism to its very core. Now we know this problem will not go away soon. So how to we navigate this troubled waters to achieve some sort of peace and security for mankind?. Is the some magic formula we can emulate to work out some sort of strategy that can work for all?. From what I can see the only way is to educate our young ones to this fact. We are already to old to change our mind set, although we are wise enough to avoid the pit holes that can cause trouble. If we can teach our younglings to be more tolerant and to respect other races then there is hope. But for this to happen it takes generations, but we have to start the ball rolling now for it to take root.

I pity the trashing that sammy blogger got for her posting. But even out anger a person should not utter words that ridicule a whole community just because the thief’s were Indians. Words spoken out of anger are the most damaging even though you regret it later. So you see what I mean by educating our young ones. We can set the ball in motion, lets start, so that the next generation will rid this nasty racist problem once and for all.

On a different note, I have to say I am pissed of with four indian youth recently. Though I am an indian to the core, I am pissed at these guys! Last week my mum and dad, both nearing their 75’s were visiting a friend in johor baru. And guess what, they were robbed at knife point, by these four guys. Luckily there were not hurt, my dad lost all his money and wallet. And my mum lost something so precious to her. They took her wedding chain, that she had with for 65 years. But guess what my mum said to me, she was not angry at all. She just said that, they most probably needed the money more then her. And they did not even bother making a police report.
Well anyway every where in the world we have bad hats, but the point is we should not blame the community for them…..cheers.

THE FALLEN ANGEL

2008-09-26T19:12:00.001+08:00

He has known only light since coming to power with the huge mandate given to him by Malaysians in 2004. But after the 2008 elections the sleepy one has been tumbling through the void of darkness and grace. And it has not stopped since then. And today it seems the talk is to postpone the DEC08 elections to Mar09, for what purpose only the falling one can comprehend.

The windows of power and glory is surely but slowly been closing for the sleepy head that I can only vision that it must really hurt and be so terrible to him as he will be the only PM to be thrown out of power before his time , and to walk forever as a fallen one to be shunned even by his own kind. The transfer of power to his deputy has to be done much quickly as the ground swell does not support the 2010 handover. So how to avoid a slap in the face by his own supporters? There is no graceful exit, the writing on the wall and it has been there all along, but guess what, he has not workup yet to read it.

So will we have a new PM by DEC08? I hope so. Any change would be better then what we have now, maybe the new PM would release all the ISA detainees to curry favors among us. That’s a good thought.

But wait , were is our anwar in this equation. Will he make a move or is waiting for something we are unaware about. He has the numbers, but whats stopping him? That’s another riddle for me to solve.

In the mean time , with all the power brokers dividing our country among themselves, lets not give up hope and keep our heads and remember our DEAR RPK in our daily prayers and wish him a very happy birthday and pray that GOD will keep him in high spirits and keep him focused . Please support all the events relating to RPK’S release. ,,cheers

MY HEART WEEPS !

2008-09-23T18:39:00.002+08:00

IT IS A SAD DAY FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH

MY HEART DROWNS IN SORROW

MY DEAR RPK HOLD ON, OUR PRAYER AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU

LET THOSE WHO WISH YOU HARM FALL IN THE SHIT HOLE THEY DIG!

WILL MCA JUMP SHIP

2008-09-22T21:26:00.002+08:00

THIS IS THE MILLION$ QUESTION.
The answer is however a Billion$ answer!
MCA vice-president Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai said today the party should "look at the bigger picture" and not rush into a hasty decision to leave the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition". If this is an indication of things to come, it will be very interesting to watch the OCTOBER MCA elections for the top posts and working committee.
The current president and vp OKT and CKY have decided not to seek re election. So the new batch will have their hands full to convince a number of chinese community leaders why MCA should stay with BN. In a way i have a feeling the present president and vp have taken the easy way out by not facing this mother of all decision.
Anyway my advice to MCA is:
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF JUMP SHIP OR NOT.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS TO SUPPORT PRUDENT ECONOMIC AND PEOPLE FRIENDLY POLICIES AND NOT BE A YES MAN TO ANY PARTY! CALL A SPADE A SPADE!....CHEERS

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM ZAID

2008-09-17T11:59:00.003+08:00

I was reading the press conference Zaid gave yesterday. i was pleasantly surprised at the command of his language. He is one guy we should watch. Here are some of the words of wisdom that spilled forth from his gap.

He termed the cabinet as a brickwall……how beautifully put.

Why should I go on leave as suggested by the sleepy one, I am not tired, I am disappointed! …. Very well said!

Abdullah badawi has been supportive but “within his own constraints”…. Shows that Abdullah is only talk but no walk!

I don’t care who forms the government, I just want to see transformation……a man with fire in his soul for changes for the better…..a man with a purpose!

You can still be a champion for your race and think of the country……a well rounded man!

He resigned because of his frustrations in trying to achieve the reforms he had been tasked with doing; the final being the recent arrest of three people under the Internal Security Act….a man after my own heart.

This one takes the cake! He said, You can have a race-based party but you don’t have to be racist bigots,” he said on his last day in office.

Well datuk my hats off to you, you are a true statesman …….cheers

TO DO LIST

2008-09-16T21:52:00.002+08:00

Hi readers:
Was away for a few weeks, thus the sorry state of my blog not being updated...my apologies!

But the events unfolding in my beloved land is such that its like sitting on a hot tin roof. Not knowing whats going to happen next.

Anwar has got his numbers, badawi is refusing to meet him for a pow wow. so the sleepy one thinks that he can ignore this by sweeping it under the carpet.

i can't wait for the next few days, i am drowning in the knowledge that a better malaysia will be born soon.

In the mean time this is alist of things to do:

1) pray for RPK and his immediate release
2) pray for Terasa kok for her immediate release
3) thank Zaid Ibrahim for his stand......bravo datuk we need more politicians like you
4)boycot utusan
5) boycot all advertisers in utusan......let them know we mean bussiness
6) most of all pray that the transfer of power will be peaceful.......cheers

MORE SKELETON’S IN SAMY’S CUPBOARD

2008-09-06T11:41:00.000+08:00

I copied this extract from kula.blogsome.com

A 2.4 hectare land in Petaling Jaya alienated for the Effingam Tamil School in Petaling Jaya Selangor has been found to be registered to the name of MIC president Samy Vellu.

This is the most outrageous thing possible. It is even more outrageous for Samy Vellu and the MIC to claim “administrative error by the land office” as reason why his name appears as beneficial owner in the land title.

This is a clear case of corruption that the ACA must investigate habis habis. Anything less than a through investigation is unacceptable. A man who claims to champion Tamil school education is now found to be beneficial owner of a land intended for the promotion of a Tamil school.

An “administrative error” as reason is totally unacceptable. There is no room for errors in such legal matter involving land titles especially when it originally involved the MIC and later it appears Samy Vellu is the beneficial owner.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, I wonder how many other “admin error” has taken place?. Only GOD knows. I hope the ACA will dig deep into this and other matters concerning samy, as he every now and then trumpets that his is the so called champion for Indians ……..cheers

SOME NEW WORDS FOR YOUR DICTIONARY

To Love Malaysia, is to know Malaysia"

WHY IS THIS GUY NOT LOCKED UP?

2008-08-29T13:30:00.000+08:00

I am away in Indonesia on a project, and being lacking behind on my updates. But I still keep in touch with going ons through the internet cafes. But I was sad to hear that we still have people like Ahmad Ismail around.

UMNO Bukit Bendera divisional chairman Ahmad Ismail said that the Chinese are squatting in Malaysia and if they are in power, they will not be fair to all races.

Why is this Ahmad not arrested and charged with inciting racial hatred and sedition?

The media and the government would have run berserk had an Opposition politician made the same statement and cry for the sedition act .

Why the double standard? Where is the home minister on this matter, oh does he have his usual nonsensical explanation on this matter?

Why are the MCA and Gerakan hiding their tails and burying their heads like an ostrich . Not a squeak from this bedfellows. And they claim they fight for Chinese rights???.

Where is the sleeping Buddha, who claims that he is the PM for all?. Came on Malaysia you can do better then this. Kick these goons out. They bring only rot and shit to our country.

I was laughing to myself, when I heard that Malaysia today was ordered to be blocked by the government. Are these numbskulls still living in the stoneage. In this day and age the internet is bigger than anybody. How can you stop that. Have they not heard of mirror sites?. This goes to show what kind of mentality are running our country. God help us.

Anyway Malaysia Today can still be accessed from within Malaysia. Its address is http://mt.harapanmalaysia.com

If you are and expert with computers you can use the open DNS system (DNS stands for domain name service).you can download it and its free. This open DNS allows you to use alternative servers(by pass) to the ones provided by local ISPs.

Or you can do a search of Malaysia Today using proxy servers. All this methods are available in the cyberspace. I wonder which idiots are running the MCMC's , not to know that you cannot hold water in a strainer .

Well anyway thanks to PP votes , we have some saving grace for Malaysia. With anwar back in parliament things are already looking better. I am praying very hard, that by sep 16, anwar will be in power and put all this bullshit behind us and move forward to really running our country the way it should……..cheers

PP ELECTION UPDATE 1

2008-08-26T16:21:00.002+08:00

As of 1500hrs today anwar is leading by 68% on the exit polls. That is not a surprise as we already knew who will win this by election.
The interesting thing however is wheather arif shah will get back his deposit?. punters are having a tough time taking bets on this. Odds are now running at 2 to 1 that arif will lose his deposit.
What ever it is, my only concern is only that the election commission will make it easy for anwar to return to parliment tomorrow. ....cheeers

DIRTY TRICKS AND THE BY ELECTION

2008-08-17T15:45:00.001+08:00

Dear friends: life lately has been a roller coaster ride for me.. I had three major projects to handle and its keeping me all tied up. My blog has suffered from lack of updates, and my wife thinks I have a mistress, because of coming home late for the last two weeks. Well that’s life.

And whats up at the PP by election. Latest I heard are some underhand tactics are being employed by our BN goons. SMS are flying all over PP , especially in malay dominant areas proclaiming anwar to be a “Chinese stooge pigeon” , “ a Chinese agent”. Anwar has accused the goons as harping the racial divided.

If I was anwar, I would not lose sleep over this matter. 95% of people in Malaysia are in tuned to whats happening, so don’t worry anwar. Just get you campaign on the road.
REFORM AND INDEPENDENCE is a good slogan. That’s what Malaysia needs now more than ever. The voters in PP are not easily swayed by the dirty tricks, so come aug 26, you will on your way to be the next prime minister.

With the two medical reports that he has on his sodomy case, any proper judge will throw out the case. And the theatrical swearing on the holy book by that Saiful sodomite is clearly political motivated. Why drag GOD into this whole think is beyond me and for what purpose?. If we can swear by the holy book , than why do we need courts, judges, lawyers?. Why not just swear your innocence for every case ! it will save us so much time and money. Only people stupid enough will do this. But then again I cannot blame our leaders in our government, the grey matter is very much lacking or in some case totally devoid.

Only 9 days left for the mother of all elections. The future of our nation and the people now rest in the hands of the voters in PP. Don’t give BN even 5% of the votes. Let them know we mean business and send them packing for good!. You PP votes will be our saviours and your good deed will never be forgotten. ..cheers.

WILL THE REAL ASS-HOLE PLEASE STAND?

2008-08-11T20:44:00.000+08:00

From the very beginning of sodomy II, I was cracking my head and wondering at the same time which ass hole actually orchestrated this sickening episode.

After reading all the theories and evaluations around the blogger sphere I am still at a lost who this mysterious ass hole is.

Saiful and anwar are mere pawns in this chess game. Who is or who are the people behind this sodomy II. The hidden hands so to speak.

Ok lets put all the cards on the table.

1^st lets label all the players.

a) badawi

b) najib

c) tengku li

d) mayuddin

e) anwar

f) the AG

g) the IGP

h) shafee ( AG in waiting)

i) an unknown group ( very rich and very connected and above the law)

j) DR M

k) Syed (botak from johor)

According to malaysiakini one writer has sort of analyzed the so called facts and came out blaming DR M.

According to Malaysia-today admin they are going with the new AG in waiting, MR Shafee.

My 2 cents, I beg to differ. I will go along with the item i) an unknown group. It maybe my mind tend to bends towards the unknown that I am guessing this to be the case. Why I choose to be different is because of the following:

1) the umnoputera’s would have put a better case then whats happening now. They had had the experience of sodomy I, so if they wanted to frame some one, it would have be a better fix up.

2) After the grass roots up rising after sodomy I, I doubt umno would take the same route.

3) Some coffee shop shop talk says, anwar himself set this upon himself to gain sympathy. I doubt this very much. No one in his right mind will do this.

4) My believe is badawi, najib and the rest of cabinet were actually caught with their pants down when this news broke. They were surprised as the rest of us. But they tried their best to use this to their advantage and slow anwar down.

5) The unknown group (very rich ,connected and above the law), gets my vote. We will be fools to believe if such a group does not exist. Even in the most power country (USA) there are certain groups that operate above the law, and why not in our country. These group have their claws in every public and private institutions. A very powerful group, who wants UMNO to continue their rule in Malaysia. They see the PKR solidarity as a threat to their existence. So disrupt the timetable of PKR to form the next government.

6) This sodomy II was let loose, not to get a conviction, but to slow things down. That’s what I feel. Why slow down PKR?. Who knows, maybe to re-organise their group to be better prepare for the eventuality . I am sure Saiful has a fat bank account in an offshore bank, and after the trials, he would just disappear and relocate in brazil or Colombia for all I know. So he has nothing to loose. So were did this money come from? A few million for this group is like peanuts, so why not.

Well that’s just my 2 cents imagination at work, I will stick to these theory until something solid comes by……cheers.

WHAT OTHER NEWS ARE SAYING

2008-08-11T08:33:00.003+08:00

I scanned some news articles and this is what they are saying……

People have come to the conclusion that the closer anwar is to wanting to obtain power, the more difficult others will make it for him to achieve that.

The economy is in a rut, Anwar faces another lurid court case on the same charge, and a majority of Malaysians are convinced the ruling coalition concocted the allegations to once again sabotage his political ambitions.

The timing of the new charges, days after the charismatic 61-year-old announced he would contest a by-election to return to parliament, has fuelled suspicions of a conspiracy.

Malaysians interviewed at a Kuala Lumpur petrol station, where they filled up after a recent 41 per cent price hike, had strikingly similar views, accusing the government of staging a sideshow to deflect attention from economic woes.

"The new sodomy charges against Anwar Ibrahim are all a political game because he is now a real threat to the prime minister," said Abdul Halim, a 28-year-old designer.

Businessman Mohamad Fazli Farid said the government should focus instead on the plight of ordinary workers who are unable to cope with high fuel and food prices on chronically low wages.

"It looks like the government is out to fix him again. Everyone knows that the charge against him is nothing but a lie," said 46-year-old Suhaimi Samsuddin.

"The only thing we can do now is to vote for Anwar and make sure he gets to parliament and eventually form the government. Only then can we right all that is wrong in this country."…..extract from CNA

If anwar comes to power, he has promised to carry out major reforms of the police, AG office and the judiciary. It will be good for Malaysia and the rakyat if can carry this reforms. At least we can walk tall again.

This is an extract of what he said at a press conference on 080808…….

“Arbitrary arrest and detention, frivolous investigation and malicious prosecutions shall be a thing of the past.

The use of police powers as well the office of the Attorney General to persecute political opponents will be criminalized so as to ensure a healthy and vibrant democracy where dissent is not only tolerated but nurtured.

In this regard every Malaysian’s fundamental liberties will be treated as sacrosanct and safeguarded by a truly independent judiciary guided by principles of utmost integrity and an adherence to the spirit of the federal constitution. “

If this is to happen, I hope all the folks in permatang pauh, will go out in full force and give anwar the full mandate come Aug 26. Deny the BN any face saving votes, give them the boot and send a crystal clear message to them, that Malaysia is for Malaysians and it does not belong to the umnoputra’s.

What DR M said to the press about anwas’s by electon.

"At the moment I do not see anyone who can give Anwar a run for his money," Mahathir said, according to the New Straits Times newspaper.

Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad has denied speculation he will run against his arch-foe, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, in a by-election expected to return Anwar to parliament.

But Mahatir said he would not challenge Anwar for the seat vacated by Anwar's wife after he was charged with sodomy once again last week.

"No way, I have resigned in 2003 and I have said that I'm not coming back," he said, according to the state Bernama news agency.

To do list if anwar becomes PM:

Mahatir also said he did not want anyone like Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim "who stabbed him in the back" as Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad said yesterday he would rather migrate if the former deputy prime minister succeeds in toppling the Barisan Nasional government.

"If he comes Prime Minister, I will get out of the country. Give everything to him," Utusan Malaysia quoted the former prime minister's reply to a question at the Current Challenges for Malays forum here.

The only country that he can migrate to at this moment is Zimbaguae , I wish him all the best. I can help you pack DR, you need not wait till Sep 16, better get out while the sun still shines. The correct correct correct case will be pursued with might and vigor and all those involved will be looking at some quality jail time. So DR, make haste and delay not your departure. Helping you pack will not be a issue, as I believe at least 10 million people in Malaysia will be more then happy to give you a hand…cheers

THE STUPIDITY OF IT ALL??

2008-08-07T20:13:00.001+08:00

They have no case. Yet they went on to charge Anwar anyway. The posting by RPK in Malaysia today is good enough to throw the case out without calling for any defense. Yet the idiots insisted on it anyway, wasting out money to carry on with this mother of all jokes??

The signed statement and the SD by Dr. Osman of hospital pusrawi speaks for itself. Or did the police and the AG office were not aware of this document. It would have been a kick in the but for them, to read such damaging revelations in Malaysia today. And extract of the statement says the following:

“ I introduced proctoscope into the patients anus while a nurse was assisting me by holding a touch.

On my observation the anus was normal, no bleeding, there were no signs of piles and no abscess and no pus, no injury, no tear and no discharge. Anus was clean and dry and looked normal. No abnormalities seen. “

Good luck to the prosecution team. Just like our pulau batu putih , this case is a goner.

And best part is see what the botak from johor and the sleeping Buddha were saying. Always contradicting one and another.

The sleeping Buddha says:

"There's no conspiracy," he said, according to The New Straits Times daily. "How could I insist that he be charged? The police are not so stupid to simply charge if there is no evidence."

The johor botak says:

"The police have no power to go on with a prosecution. The police's interest is to investigate based on the complaint.

After that it is left to the Attorney-General's Chambers to decide whether there is prima facie case to bring the person to court.

One clown says police is not stupid to charge and clown 2 says police cannot charge. See what I mean.

Well anyway before sep 10 (the sodomy hearing), more and more leaks will be appearing in the blogs about this case and hopefully these clowns at the AG office will have enough brains to see that they are going to be bashed, so it is better for them to drop the case while they still have some dignity left ,then open they mouth later and lose it all. (oopss or have they lost it already).

Well anyway, the hero for today was the Sessions Court judge S.M. Komathy Suppiah.

She judged thus:

"It is an elementary principle in the criminal justice process that a man is innocent until proven guilty. I do not think there is any likelihood that Datuk Seri will abscond. I'm going to release him on a personal bond for the sum of RM20,000 without surety."

I am sure this judge will be a judge in the sessions court for the rest of her career? And will not be promoted ever for this decision. But my thought to this learned judge is do not worry, if you do the right thing, you will have a clean conscience and you will be a beacon to you your profession. Anyway when anwar becomes PM, he will not forget you.

As anwar and his wife remarked:

Anwar was pleased with the judge's decision. "She is a decent lady," he said, commenting on the way she had handled the court

Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Ismail too commended the judge for her fairness

So what’s up next, now that this shit is done with. Yes the PP by elections. Will Anwar win this contest. (my God what am I Saying). The punters are now betting on how may votes the BN scapegoat can scrape up.

P44(permatang pauh) has 58,449 voters, roughly 70% malay votes, 25% Chinese. And the rest Indians and others. In march08 elections Dr.Wan Azizah won by majority 13,338. My guess is anwar will better this and win by an all time record ever. Care to wager me at this????......cheers

AND WE CALL THEM LEADERS

2008-08-05T09:49:00.000+08:00

I was browsing through the daily’s and blogs and came across some stupid remarks by our so called leaders. ….cheers

UMNO CHIEF OF PENANG

Penang opposition leader Datuk Azhar Ibrahim, who is also the state Umno secretary, assured voters that he would not use the new sodomy allegations against Anwar for the Barisan Nasional election campaign.

He said the state BN would resort to a clean election campaign to ensure a fair victory for the federal ruling coalition.

He was confident of wresting the seat despite the odds of having to contest in Parti Keadilan Rakyat's stronghold.

"I have offered myself for the seat but even if I'm not selected to be the candidate, I'll work hard to ensure BN's victory. Let the leaders decide on candidates; I am a party worker and I will work hard," he added.

Abdul Jalil, however, dare not predict the outcome of the by-election. "I leave it to God."

See the numbskulls we have for leaders. First he says he is confident to win. Then he say’s he leave it to God. This flip flop runs all the way to the top. Can you imagine where our country is headed?

SLEEPING BUDDHA

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has blamed civil servants for many of the problems in the country which has made the people angry and hate the government.

He said this (anger and hatred for the goverment) can be reduced if civil servants would change their attitude and carry out their responsibilities accordingly so as not to create unnecessary problems for people dealing with the government.

"Don’t let people think we are not responsible, not trustworthy, not caring at all or arrogant. This will surely make them angry and this is not good because all these are our own doing."

"We have laws whose sovereignty we must uphold strongly. Our enforcement must be effective. This is what we should do - our responsibility. No need to ask people from far to come (here) or accuse others for our inability to ensure peace and stability," he said.

He said when the people are angry, all kinds of negative stories will be heard and allegations will be made against the country, especially in the borderless Internet world.

"I am not saying all those who used the Internet and blogs are not good. While there are some who were responsible, there are also those who abused it," he said, adding some people misused the Internet to spread rumours.

I like his comment on upholding law and order. We are the laughing stock in these this region, and he talks about law and order. Our laws cannot even decide which is more important, a murder or screwing backside. And they talk about law and order!

ACA INVESTIGATION:

According to sources, the ACA was also probing how a Singapore-based company, several of whose directors are Israeli nationals, was awarded a slice of the project when it was against the Government's directive to do so.

The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) is investigating how a little-known IT company with little experience became the local partner in the RM1bil project to upgrade the Royal Malaysian Police's communication systems from analogue-based to digital.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said police were aware of the involvement of the Israelis in their communications systems upgrading project.

“We informed the Home Ministry as soon as we learnt about it,” he said, declining to elaborate.

I remember RPK brought this matter up some two months back. Wonder why it took ACA so long to act. And can you imagine the IGP’s comment. How more stupid can one get then this?. And shit brains like this runs our police. God help us.

NEW FUEL PRICE FORMULA

2008-08-01T20:47:00.003+08:00

to my readers: apologies for not posting last two days. being extremely busy to put food on the table.....cheers

BN government will introduce new measures for adjusting the fuel prices at our pumps. hopefully there will be no screw ups.

Crude oil costs have fallen around 23 US dollars since Malaysia introduced a 41 per cent fuel price hike in June to ease the burden of spiraling energy subsidies, sparking angry street protests.

"The government would like to announce that effective September 1, 2008 the retail fuel price will be adjusted according to the monthly average, and the subsidy of 0.30 ringgit (per litre) will be maintained," Abdullah said in a statement Friday.

"The retail price of fuel will be fixed on the first day of every month."

An aide to the prime minister said that if global crude oil prices continued to ease, "then pump prices could be adjusted lower in September."

"The pump price of fuel at the beginning of each month, from September onwards, will reflect the average crude oil prices for the month before," he told AFP on condition of anonymity.

REPORT FROM CNA

THE POLICE ,SODOMY AND THE BOY NAMED SUE

2008-07-29T20:18:00.001+08:00

I am old fan of Johnny Cash. I wander how many of my readers know this singer.

And what has our Malaysian police and sodomy and the boy named Sue got to do with anything.

First let me say “The Boy Named SUE” is one of my favorite song sang by Johnny Cash.

What has sodomy got to with this song?. Well nothing really, but let me tell you the story about this song anyway.

But before I go into the story of the song, let me define, what I am getting at. With the new twist of the sodomy case due to the leaked medical report, I was wondering how the clowns at home ministry and PDRM were going to twist this change of events. They were literally caught with their pants down and not only that, there is some hard evidence of some hanky panky, thanks to RPK revelations. So how are the clowns going to spin these story.

I was cracking my head and thinking really hard on how I, (if I am in their shoes) would spin this turn of events to my favor and come out with my flags flying high! Then this particular song hit my brains.

Ok if it was me in this shit hole, this is what I would do to spin the story. Ok readers if you are still reading and not bored yet, thanks, please continue to read. Let me explain the song first and then I will use that concept to spin this sodomy case to my advantage.

This song tells a story of a young boy growing up without a father. When he was born, his father left the family, but before he left he named the new born boy “SUE”. Yes can you imagine a boy with a girls name.

The boy grew up, but growing up was not easy. Because where ever he went, everybody made fun of him, because of his girl’s name. And everyday the boy will get into a fight. Who ever disturbs him will get a fist to his face. Yes he grew up fighting in the streets and in the bars.

And while he grew into a man, he made a promise to himself. He promised himself that one day he his going to hunt his father down and shot him through his head for giving him that name.

So he went hunting for his father with a worn out picture of his dad that he took from his mum. Sure enough in a bar in a far out town he saw the dirty old man who he recognized as his father from the worn out picture that he carried with him.

He approached this father and shouted out to him. “how do you do” my name is sue!

I am going to kill you.

The old man turned around and knew that it was his son and he said:

Son I know you are angry and want to kill me, but before you do , let me tell you why I named you “SUE”.

He said son, I knew I will not be there to support you and help you when you grow up. I gave you that name, so that you will grow up strong, because I knew with that name you will have to fight to live and be strong or be a sissy and weak and die! Look at you now. It is because of that name , you became strong, it made you into a man.

So what can the son do! So in a classic ending , he called him a pa and he called him a son and they hugged and kissed and become father and son.

That is the story of this song.

Now how is this going to help me to spin the sodomy case. Using the same concept this is how I will go about it. (I hope the botak from johor and the PDRM are also reading this, as it can give them some ideas.)

I will call a press conference and tell the press the following:

We the police, knew from the very beginning anwar was innocent. Because we already had the doctors report . We immediately knew that this was a political frame up.

So we formed a special squad to investigated this matter to catch all those involved in this frame up. Since this involves some very big fish, we had to be very careful so that we can investigate and dig deep into this political conspiracy.

So in order to throw the culprits of the track, we used anwar as a scapegoat as a cover to investigate this case. We maintained that we were investigating anwar for sodomy, but in fact what we were actually doing was to closely investigate the conspiracy.

We are speaking the truth. To prove our point, did you not see, until today we have not charged anwar with anything? We have not given him the police report because, the report is about something else and we cannot make it public, due the very reason we are investigating big fish. It it taking time, due to the nature of people involved. That’s is the reason it is taking us this long.

But unfortunately some idiot went and leaked the medical report, and our case is wide open and the public thinks we are damaged goods. All our hard work to nail the culprits has gone down the drain. So how can we catch the conspirators now?. So thanks to RPK we have nothing now and nobody will ever know who was involved. So we hope in future , the public will trust us to do our JOB and not to interfere with our on going investigation. Thank you.

How about this spin guys? Will you buy it?. I will. Sleep on it, and you can use this method to almost spin anything in you life, and come out tops.. good luck…cheers.

HANDPHONE AND CANCER RISK

2008-07-28T20:44:00.001+08:00

Report from Time.com

(PITTSBURGH) — The head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.

The warning from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is contrary to numerous studies that don't find a link between cancer and cell phone use, and a public lack of worry by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Herberman is basing his alarm on early unpublished data. He says it takes too long to get answers from science and he believes people should take action now — especially when it comes to children.

"Really at the heart of my concern is that we shouldn't wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry later," Herberman said.

PLAY IT SAFE:

Since the handphone went from luxury to necessary, much debate has been going on about this topic. Does the electromagnetic radiation from the handset cause cancer. To be sure, nobody really knows. It just like coffee. Some say its good ,while some say its bad.

We as layman sometimes are at a lost who to believe.

My advice is moderation , yes everything done in moderation may be the answer.

Just like what the doctor says: being safe rather than sorry later is the best bet.

I for one, always use my speaker phone rather then put the phone to my ear. Or if you have a wireless thingy, that will also be good. Why stir the unknown. And if you have very young children try not to allow them to use the phone too often, as their brains are still developing and the radiation from the handphone may actually harm them…CHEERS

UPDATE 9 ANWAR SODOMY

2008-07-28T09:47:00.003+08:00

Remember in my previous article, I mentioned a doctor who examined saiful has said that saiful was not sodomised. And he was allegedly detained by the police for 3 days to make him to change the report.

Well now according to RPK Malaysia today, the doctor has disappeared with his family. The brave doctors name is DR Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid from the Hospital Pusrawi.

And RPK has even published the medical report (see below). All though the hand writing of the doctor is difficult to read but what the report says is there is no evidence of sodomy. Diagnosis: TRO anus means “To Rule Out “ sodomy.

Can you imagine, with this out, why are the police still wanting to arrest Anwar? Until today they have not given him the police report and strangely they have not even charged him for anything. Why are all these clowns chasing their tails when there is no case?. It is a mystery. Can you imagine the manpower and resources they wasted on this case. Its all tax payers money down the drain.

On another note, Anwar may be standing in the kulim-bandar seat parliamentary by elections soon. This very much depends on the court case brought on by UMNO candidate Abdul Aziz. The leaders in DAP and Pas has given anwar the green light and have pledge to support him 100% . this is good news, as this will be anwars ladder to finally return to parliament and then to form the new government on Sep 16. Hopefully no more new scandals erupt to derail his efforts again.

But this bolehland, anything is possible, so l am keeping my fingers and toes crossed…cheers.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!

2008-07-26T13:45:00.001+08:00

And guess who is the ultimate scapegoat? Yes they are blaming this on

Malaysia

. Why? Read on my friend…..cheers

Qantas passengers flying to Melbourne from London, had a terrifying ordeal, while flying over the South China Sea.

While in mid air a 3 meter hole rupture in the belly of their Boeing 747, sent the plane on a nose dive 6,000 meters, before the pilot managed to stabilise the plane.

Passenger Steve Winchester said he thought he was going to die.

"Everyone was just thinking to themselves 'oh I think this is it'," he told reporters. "I heard someone scream. People were just looking at each other in sheer terror."

Winchester said the fuselage breach caused a hole to open up in the cabin floor and sent debris flying through the plane's interior.

"It was everywhere, it was just like it was snowing in the cabin," he said.

Melbourne man David Saunders said he hugged his girlfriend and put his passport in his pocket so his body could be more easily identified as the plane dived towards the sea.

"I heard an enormous explosion, things went quiet, the cabin instantly lost pressure and the plane just started to dive. I thought we were going down into the sea," he said.

The plane managed to make an emergency landing in manila.

Malaysia takes the rep!

Meanwhile, investigators in Manila, including four officers from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, were poring over the stricken aircraft to try to find the cause of the problem.

Sydney's Daily Telegraph reported that engineers discovered a large amount of corrosion in the jumbo during a major refurbishment earlier this year.

A senior Qantas pilot told the Telegraph that Friday's drama may be related to the airline's decision to outsource aircraft maintenance to Malaysia.

"This could well be the direct result of Qantas having stand-in engineers, or from outsourcing maintenance to Malaysia," the unnamed pilot told the newspaper.

"It has been talked about a lot here and we have been told to be extra vigilant when you walk around the aircraft.

"With Qantas outsourcing maintenance to Malaysia, (it) is certainly worrying a lot of us pilots.”

Report from CNA

PAS SAYS INUL MORE POTENT THEN VIAGRA

2008-07-24T18:57:00.000+08:00

This was a memo that was handed to the mayor’s office by some Pas youth members.

They hope to stop the concert of Inul Daratista . I am not much a fan of Indonesian music but just out of curiosity I had a peep into the youtube (also attached here) to see whats all that fuss about. But read what the memo said first and then watch the video and see if it works for you. Because mine would not even move an inch.

The memo (extract):

Have you seen her in action? Just go to youtube and you will see that her shows are quite obscene. Even I (pas youth) can’t bear watching her. They said her concerts were known to make crowd go wild sexually and that could lead to social problems.

Once they go wild, some will resort to sex by the roadside. So its best that the concert does not go on.

They added that city hall must stop her concert as it did not adhere to rulings by the department of Islamic development Malaysia (jakim).

UPDATE 8 ANWAR SODOMY

2008-07-24T18:13:00.003+08:00

Ok this was what I was able to pickup on this case:

1) the police having been battered left and right about the way the handle the arrest on anwar, now wants to release the cctv footage of the treatment of anwar during the detention. What’s the intention in doing this?. Well for one, they may have an edit version showing how anwar was offered tea and cookies and treated with much respect during the investigation. But these clowns fail to get the message do they. We are not interested in that. We want to know why 20 police officers in ski mask fully armed to the teeth was needed to arrest a 60 year old man. Simple as that. Why?

2) then yesterday the botak from Johor had 96 foreign diplomats rushed to a Home Ministry briefing on a two-hour notice?. Even in a nuclear crisis, I doubt you can get such a number to attend. But for sodomy case?, my my what is our country coming too? Can you imagine, all this vvip from so many important countries gathered to listen to a case of somebody screwing somebody’s backside!!!!!. I fell of my chair laughing at this incident. Even the UN could not have done better. My friends we have 192 UN member states upto now. That means almost ½ the world members were briefed on a backside screwing case!! The UN was sodomised if you asked me. Anyway that’s Malaysia for you, where so many other more important and relevant issues could have been solved, but our government wishes to wash they dirty laundry instead. We will be the laughing stock of the world. We might as well change the name of our country to “BACKSIDE”!

3) most interesting of course was the revelation by RPK in his Malaysia today site, of the video recording of the friend of the sodomite. RPK works in a mysterious way. My only worry is this brave whistle blower will not Houdini himself like our PI friend. It takes guts of iron balls to do this. Anyway I managed to read the comments column and found this interesting facts which got me thinking. I will share with the following interesting comments.

a) it was reported that saiful and his video friend went to c4’s house on the 24 of june.

b) Then on the 28 june saiful reports to police that he was sodomised by anwar on the 26 june. Interesting isn’t it. Meeting c4 on 24june and sodomised on 26june, why days two later? And the police report also two days later. It makes me think how stupid these guys must be to want to frame somebody like this. It takes brains to plan a perfect murder , and not many can get away with it. With the idiots we have in umno, police and other government agency, I am not surprised at this revelation.

c) The next revelation maybe a fact or a rumor as I cannot confirm it but I will put it down anyway. It is alleged that saiful is close to his “emak angkat” and her name was given as Mumtaz. And guess what, this Mumtaz is alleged to be a personal assistant to rosmah. How about that. It’s a rumor so use it with a pinch of salt.

d) Next, this is even more interesting rumor! Apparently a mole in Bukit Aman (a police officer or some else), informed anwar on 21june that police are working on a sodomy case involving him. Now if this is rumor is to believed, I would say why would anwar want to screw saiful’s backside on the 26june?. So the conspiracy theory is indeed breaking new grounds, if all this can be proved, or if some hard evidence can be found. So lets wait and see what else will break out in the next couple of days…..stay tuned for update 9…..cheers

ARE WE BEING SCREWED BY PAS?

2008-07-23T10:36:00.001+08:00

Some people never learn. In times of trouble, we humans always try to get out of it and internally we will promise ourselves never to get into the same kind of problems ever again. But from my experience, time heals our hurts and we tend to forget. And before you can say craker-jack, we are in the same shit hole as before. Why you ask?

In real life when our situation changes, and as we see ourselves in a much stronger position, we grow greedy and complacent. We have these false sense of security and strength , our mind gets clouded, greed overtakes our judgment and boom we are hijacked and back to zero. Yes greed and the tidak pa (tidakpathy syndrome) attitude can be the greatest motivator.

So Pas is courting its old lover again. In 1974 they married UMNO, had a great honeymoon, and with all things after the honeymoon was over, UMNO could’nt careless about its old wife went looking for fresh virgins and Pas was just another trophy to be displayed in the shelf. So the old wife got jealous and went in for a divorce in 1978. Umno just like a buaya darat, was more then happy to oblige as many a virgins were out there waiting in line to become sleeping partners with them. So after being screwed and used, Pas left with their tails in between their legs.

So what happen that the made the old love to rekindle again? Or is it the younger breed in Pas who pushing this agenda? Why are this young politicians who are still wet behind their ears courting the devil? Are they trying to destroy the enemy by befriending them? Or is the case, where its better the devil you know than the angel you don’t?

What ever the case, don’t we who supported Pas during this election, feel cheated. We worked so hard to weaken the BN. Even though we were unsure of the Pas Ideology we supported them hundred percent. We worked hand in hand to destroy the devil. Is these the thanks we get for our support? Right now I feel like kicking my own ass.

The thing is, dialog is good. But it should be kept open. They should have informed the rakyat what its all about, and not play james bond with these cloak and dagger meetings. Why keep it a secrete. If you have nothing to hide, explain to us. You go behind our backs, hold secrete meetings. And see what happened, UMNO ****ed you again. They kissed and told. You see UMNO went public , why? You dumb ass Pas, you still don’t get it. Simple, they sow seeds of deception. You see what they have done. With these clandistain meeting out in the open, UMNO has managed to shake the foundations of the Pakatan Rakyat.

I hope those idiots who are pushing these agenda, will stop and think again. And please listen to your spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, to end the dialogue, as it would split the party and cause suspicion among allies in the Pakatan Rakyat.

Remember the fate of MCA, MIC, GERAKAN and if still insist in following their foodsteps, then come next elections be prepared to wear their shoes…..cheers

PROSTATE CANCER WONDER PILL

2008-07-22T11:41:00.000+08:00

REPORT FROM MAIL ONLINE:

British researchers have made a dramatic breakthrough against a lethal form of prostate cancer.

Trials of a new pill have shown that it can shrink tumors in up to 80 per cent of cases, and end the need for damaging chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Experts hailed the advance as potentially the biggest in the field of prostate cancer for decades, capable of saving many thousands of lives.

Scientists believe the technique could also be effective on other tumors, such as breast and bowel cancers.

The drug, abiraterone, was discovered by researchers at the Royal Marsden Hospital in South-West London.

Their leader, Dr Johann de Bono, said patients there had been able to control the disease with just four pills a day and very few side-effects. Its side-effects can include loss of libido, breathlessness, fatigue, fluid retention and weight gain. Some men may be left impotent, but the effects are far less than with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

There are two types, aggressive and non-aggressive, which are often called 'tiger' and 'pussycat'. Men with pussycat cancer can often lead a healthy life, but the tiger variety - a third of cases - is usually fatal within 18 months.

Abiraterone is now being used in a 1,200-patient international study, including at ten sites across the UK. If it is licensed as expected in 2011, it will have to await approval by the rationing watchdog NICE before it is made freely available.

UPDATE 7 ANWAR SODOMY

2008-07-22T10:38:00.001+08:00

Malaysia today and a few blogs report an interesting article yesterday.

(please understand, that these are only rumors and I have yet to see any hard evidence)

1) the chemistry department appointed to analysis the semen sample on the anwar’s sodomy case has been successfully completed. The only problem was they allegedly used the 1998 dna profile of anwar to fabricate the evidence. And those idiots taught they had an air tight case, and it was alleged that some $25,000 dropped from the sky because of this break through and everybody at the lab had a jolly good time partying with the winfall.

After partying and celebrating then some wise joker suddenly pulled a bombshell. He was asking if this evidence was edited by any independent expert from the outside, will it hold up?.

The answer is of cause no. because technology is such that, they can carbon date anything these days and pin point the date of any sample to within +/- 2 years. So everybody was worried, not because they got the wrong sample and the wrong date but, how to return the $25,000 they spent partying. Yes that’s a big headache for them.

Never to be outdone, they came up with plan B. get fresh dna from anwar and the headache will be gone and they need not pass the hat around to collect back the $25,000. so who is going to bell the cat?. Easy. Get the father in law, the son in law, the botak from johor, the son of the DR, the father and uncle of the sodomised guy to shout in the MSM, for anwar to give fresh sample. But the cat refused to be belled, and guess what they are back to square one.

Sometimes as a layman, I am also puzzled by this crazy calls for fresh samples?

DNA does not perish, be it taken today or 100 years ago. It remains the same, the only difference between today’s sample and the one taken 100 years ago will be the age factor of the dna. This in anwar’s case will a plus factor for him.

Another question that’s bugging me non stop is, why the father of the sodomised guy can see the police report, but the accused upto today has yet to see it? Why , why? Is it because the doctor who examined saiful concluded that sodomy never took place?

In RPK no holds barred report yesterday, rpk said the doctor was intimidated by police for three days trying to get the doctor to change the report. But he refused. If this is true, then my hats off to the doctor. Malaysia still has some hope and a few honest people around.

I was scanning the MSM today, but yet to see any reports about these yet. Can all these events be true?. Make up your own mind, you get no help from me…cheers

TODAY IN MALAYSIA

2008-07-21T20:57:00.001+08:00

JULY 21 2008 MONDAY 2000HRS

Sodomy affair:

1: Saiful’s family now getting involved in the sodomy case?

Have the unseen hands stoop so low as to get them involved?

This is the question that will be in the minds of everybody now.

I am a father, so if I am in their shoes, I might do the same thing.

But the question is why now, and not very early when news broke out.

It puzzles me to some extend, but I maybe wrong. And why talk of DNA only? And not the other circumstances? Questions and more questions. So which came first the chicken or the egg? If know the answer please share

Altantuya Shariibuu murder trial

2: Karpal singh is on the war path again! Yes he has filed a notice in the high court seeking to clarify the famous SD’s of private investigator P Balasubramaniam.

He has pulled a little known clause to us layman, the section 425 CPC.

What that means is "any court may at any stage of any inquiry, trial or other proceedings, summon any person as a witness or recall and re-examine any person already examined if his evidence appears to be essential.

That means he is seeking to call to stand the following VVIPs:

Najib, DSP Musa Safri and lawyer Dhiren Rene Norendra.

Wow, I hope the lion of jelutong is not going to do another Houdini, just like our famous PI .

Update on Anwar:

3: After giving his much needed statement to the ACA this morning on the IGP and the AG, anwar gave the thumbs up, when questioned by reporters about the lawsuit the IGP filed against anwar for defamation, today in the high court. The IGP , to be fair did give anwar a deadline to retract his allegations and to pay a large amount of $RM. But if your thinking and my thinking runs in sycn, then I would say, shaft it and bring it on. To court we go and I will wash your dirty linen in the public for all to see. Every dog has his day and the day of reckoning is at hand. Wait, wait , wait a minute, the last I heard the courts are full till 2015. I hope I will still be kicking to see the daylight of this case. And to make matters more interesting, listen to what the AG says:

Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail is said to be considering a similar suit.

Hmmm, seems to be considering? Why the hesitation?. You have the BN machinery behind you, don’t worry, AG! Bring it to court. Anwar is 60 now, by the time these case sees any light, he will be to old to remember anything. Go for it……

The ACA has this to say about this case, and I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed hoping that it be true:

ACA deputy director-general Datuk Abu Kassim Mohamed said the agency is investigating Anwar's complaints against the IGP and A-G without referring to the A-G's Chambers.

SINGAPORE USED AS A PUNCHING BAG

2008-07-21T09:40:00.000+08:00

I read this interesting article in asiaone online paper. The article talks about why Singapore’s success is seen as a threat to western ideology and why its always the scapegoat when the so called liberal thinking NGO’s take a swipe at this tiny red pimple that refuses to bust. I only extracted a small potion of the article, but if want to read the complete article go to asiaone online news…cheers

In an article published last week in The Guardian, one of Britain's most influential dailies, Singapore was yet again disparaged as a modern, but authoritarian state. Writer John Kampfner - a distinguished local columnist and the author was merely using the Republic as part of a broader attack on the policies of the British government. His contention was that ordinary Singaporeans allegedly gave up their personal freedoms in return for prosperity.

But Mr Kampfner's article is part of an emerging pattern: Reports from a variety of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international media sources periodically portray Singapore as a wealthy yet less than attractive state.

What accounts for this outpouring of venom about a country which, when all is said and done, remains just a tiny speck on the world map? The answer is rather simple. Singapore is merely a convenient scapegoat for a deeper crisis of confidence which now grips the West.

To a large extent, success is Singapore's biggest problem. It is hardly the only Asian country to undergo a remarkable economic and political transformation. But it is the only Asian nation whose academics and politicians are completely plugged into the current Western intellectual circuit. So, Singapore's international visibility far outstrips the country's actual size.

Western criticism of Singapore usually falls into two categories. One school of thought argues that the Republic still has plenty of problems: look behind the glitzy facade and you'd find many warts.

Another school of thought accepts that Singapore is successful, but claims that its example is irrelevant: It is just a small, beautifully-decorated fish bowl which cannot be replicated in a big ocean.

But both critical trends converge on one point: Singapore is a laboratory experiment which should have failed but which, for some apparently devious reason, has instead succeeded.

Western policymakers are growing desperate over increasing evidence that, far from being unique, Singapore-like development theories are actually working in an increasing number of states.

Yet Singaporeans can also derive satisfaction from the current climate. First, they are the subject of international curiosity because theirs is a system which works.

And they are being scrutinised precisely because people suspect that the Singapore model does have wider applications.

So, this is one instance when criticism may be the sincerest mode of flattery. Regardless of how much it stings.

THE FORGOTTEN ISSUES

2008-07-19T13:00:00.000+08:00

Dear readers:

The last two weeks in Malaysia has been a roller coaster ride for everyone. Whether it was pre planned or just a coincidence is beyond us. But the crux of the matter is, these events has completely pulled the wool over our eyes on the real issues that we the rakyat are wanting to change.

The mainstream media and almost all internet media were side tracked by the weeks events to highlight issues which are to me like a storm in a tea cup. Sex, lies, murders are the issues that finds headlines today.

But readers please do not be sidetracked and please keep the following issues in your mind and heart so that we know exactly what changes that is needed in our beloved country. There maybe more, please feel free to add to the list in the comment.

THE FORGOTTEN ISSUES:

1: the recession and depression that will be hitting us very soon….. be prepared and cut unnecessary spending and save for the bad days a head.

2: the inflation and fuel hike

3: the urban poverty….. your RM 3,000 salary gets you nowhere these days!

4: systematic spread of racist propaganda….. teach your loved ones everyone are equal in the eyes of GOD

5: the failing standards in our universities and schools

6: the invisible siphoning and rape of our country’s wealth

8: corrupt politicians and half past six ministers who run our country

9: the police and judiciary that has lost credibility

10: a prime minister who is seen as a lame duck

These are just the more important issues in my opinion , but its not complete. But if somehow if we can lobby as one rakyat to put pressure on the ruling elite to make changes, then I believe our country can truly be ASIA’S NUMBER ONE…cheers

UPDATE 6 ANWAR AND SODOMY CASE

2008-07-18T19:37:00.001+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR - A LAWYER says Malaysia's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has provided an alibi to the police to prove he did not sodomise a male aide.

Counsel Sivarasa Rasiah also says Anwar will not give a DNA sample for fear it could be manipulated to frame him.

Police arrested Mr Anwar on Wednesday and interrogated him for many hours about the sodomy allegations made by a young male aide. He was released Thursday on bail, but remains a suspect in the case.

Mr Sivarasa told a Friday news conference that Mr Anwar gave the police 'full details' of his alibi, but that he drew the line at giving a DNA swab.

Mr Sivarasa says DNA evidence was fabricated against Mr Anwar when he was accused of sodomy 10 years ago, and he does not trust the police not to do it again. -- AP

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN 1998 CASE…..EXTRACT FOR RPK

In 1998-1999 trials, Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim experienced the phenomenon of fabrication of DNA evidence. We had SAC Rodwan illegally removing DNA samples from forensic custody. In cross-examination of the prosecution’s witnesses it was exposed that DNA taken from blood samples was planted on the infamous mattress. When confronted with this fact the prosecution amended its charge and persuaded the judge, Augustine Paul, to expunge the entire DNA evidence from the record, preventing Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s lawyers from responding.

The persons who were implicated in the fabrication of evidence during Dato Seri Anwar’s 1998-1999 trials, namely Gani Patail, Musa Hassan, and Rodwan are the same players who are involved in the current case. Today they are in much more powerful positions within the law enforcement apparatus.

Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim has even more reason to believe of the probability that DNA evidence will be fabricated once again. This is reasonable because the complainant remains in police custody since 28 June 2008 and the police are also in possession of Anwar Ibrahim’s DNA from the earlier case.

WHAT IS DNA FINGERPRINT?

2008-07-18T19:03:00.003+08:00

With so much talk of DNA, blowing in our bolehland, I was wondering whether most us (layman) know what exactly it is, or only a vague idea. Here I did some googling and came up with some explanation. Please read it if it is of interest to you (10 mins read)…..cheers.

What exactly is a DNA fingerprint? Well, it certainly isn't an inky impression of a DNA strand. Compared to unimaginably small DNA, a fingerprint is HUGE. So what is it that we're looking at, and how is one of these fingerprints made?

DNA. It's what makes you unique. It's the stuff that tells each and every one of your body's 10 trillion cells what it's supposed to be and what it's supposed to do. And although your DNA is different from that of every other person in the world -- unless you have an identical twin -- it's the same in every cell that makes up your body.

That DNA is unique from person to person but the same from cell to cell in one person can be a handy thing, especially when it comes to DNA fingerprinting. DNA fingerprints can be used for anything from determining a biological mother or father to identifying the suspect of a crime.

The best way to understand how DNA is used to solve a crime, is to play detective. So if your game, lets start.

The crime:

On the evening of November 1, at approximately 8:15 p.m., Raja Lolipo entered his bedroom, walked over to his desk, and sat down at his computer. While reaching for the computer's switch he noticed, out of the corner of his eye, that one of the items on a typically well-organized shelf was out of place.

Raja Lolipo shot across the room for a closer examination. Sure enough, the object in question had indeed been disturbed.

The object had been sealed in an air-tight package. The package was now ripped open. The object was still inside, but it was no longer in its original condition. In Raja Lolipo 's eyes, it was now worthless.

Raja Lolipo pulled out what had been his most-valued possession -- his holographic lollipop. The confectionery treat was now a sticky mess. Someone had obviously indulged him- or herself in its sugary molecules. The lollipop's holographic image had been licked away.

The suspects:

The prime suspects in this case are Raja Lolipo 's seven sisters: Candy, Cookie, Sugar, Lolly, Honey, Brandee, and Carmela. Each one of these sisters is a notorious candy lover and is easily capable of committing this crime of confection.

The suspects have been detained. The saliva of the seven suspects are taken for a DNA sampling.

What we as the investigating detective need to do:

Fortunately for this case, a lollipop cannot be licked without leaving behind a bit of saliva.

Your task, as the investigator is to a appoint a Lab who is capable to finger print DNA, to create a DNA fingerprint from the saliva left on the lollipop. You must then use the fingerprint to single out the culprit of this crime.

Steps required to get the photo graphic image of the DNA.

1: the DNA samples from the suspects are first combined with an restriction enzyme agent.

2: then a special tray with electrodes is then taken and “agarose” gel is poured into the tray.

3: then the mixture in step 1 is poured into the special tray and the electrodes are activated for electrophoresis to begin.

4: after a certain amount time has lapsed, a special nylon membrane is placed on the mixture in the special tray.

5: another mixture called “probes” is added to the nylon membrane. I believe this agent stains the DNA seeping out of the special nylon membrane.

6: the next step is to place an X-ray film on the top of the nylon membrane.

7: the final step is to develop the X-ray film with the aid of a developer instrument. The DNA image is exposed on this film, and there you go, you have the images of the DNA strand on the X-ray film….just like you bone X-rays.

Now to catch the culprit:

Once all the seven suspects DNA has been photographed (x-ray image), the its just the simple task to compare the DNA on the lollipop to the DNA of the seven suspects.

Below I have the images of the DNA, see if you match and discover the culprit.

my bet is "Honey" was the culprit, what was you expert opinion?....cheers

thanks to nova online for this explanation.

WISE SAYINGS FROM HOME MINISTER?

2008-07-18T13:11:00.002+08:00

Asked if it was not suspicious that Mohd Saiful had gone to complain to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak before lodging a police report, Syed Hamid said in Malaysia, "a minister's house is open to the public"……dato I have a pain in an unspeakable hole, any chance I can meet you , do discuss possible follow up action?

On the roadblocks, Syed Hamid claimed he had no knowledge of it and that he himself had been caught in the traffic jams….. howcome dato? The last I heard you are still the home minister. If you had no knowledge, who the **** is running you ministry?. If the head is not knowing what the hand is doing, then what are we paying you for?...buta gaji?

He said he was not personally informed by police of the operation to arrest Anwar, adding that the public should understand that it was a police operation.

"The police do not have to consult or seek permission on what needs to be done as they are empowered by law. I expect them to act within the law."……yes yes and I am a monkeys uncle!.. A 10 year old could have done better to answer this question. And can you imagine, they hang petty thieves and appoint numbskulls to public office!

Stay tuned, more great words from our esteemed home minister to come…..cheers

AUSTRALIAN TV JOURNALIST ARRESTED IN SINGAPORE

2008-07-18T12:32:00.002+08:00

Report from CNA:

SINGAPORE: A television reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has been arrested in Singapore and is expected to face drug charges on Friday, his employer said.

A court official in Singapore told AFP the court hearing was under way but she could not yet confirm whether charges had been formally laid.

"If convicted, Lloyd faces imprisonment of between five and 20 years in jail and between five and 15 strokes of the cane," the ABC report said.

A statement from counter-narcotics officers in Singapore said investigation showed a 41-year-old Australian to be the "supplier" to a Singaporean drug abuser arrested on Wednesday.

It said the ABC has not been told the full details of the case, but the organisation is in close contact with consular officials and is also taking steps to ensure Lloyd is given appropriate legal representation.

UPDATE 5 ANWAR ARREST

2008-07-16T19:12:00.001+08:00

FROM MALAYSIAN INSIDER:

KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 - Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who was arrested this afternoon, has called on his supporters to remain calm and not to react to any provocation, which could lead to a state of Emergency being declared.

Parti Keadilan Rakyat deputy president Dr Syed Husin Ali who read out a statement at a press conference at the party's headquarters here this afternoon said Anwar's message was conveyed through his lawyers Sankara Nair and R. Sivarasa.

He said that he had received phone calls from PKR division leaders and party members who wanted serious actions to be taken.

However when asked whether the party would resort to street demonstrations, Syed Husin said it would only be decided when it was deemed appropriate.

"We will not be provoked," he added.

PKR secretary-general Datuk Sallehuddin Hashim said there had been no directive from the party leaders to organise such demonstrations.

An unsigned SMS alert has been making the rounds calling for people to gather at a candle light vigil in front of the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters at Jalan Hang Tuah at 8.30pm tonight.

HOME MINISTER HAS A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!

2008-07-16T18:50:00.000+08:00

WHAT WILL BE HIS EXCUSE THIS TIME?

LAST MONDAY HE SAID I AM SORRY,

I HAD ONE SMS SAYING THERE IS GOING TO BE A BIG PROTEST.

SO WHAT HAPPEN TODAY?

ANOTHER SMS SAYING ANWAR RUNNING TO TURKEY?

THE MALAYSIAN POLICE HAS PUT A BLACK MARK IN OUR DEMOCRACY!

THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US? I WONDER WHERE OUR LEADERS ARE GOING TO THEIR FACE WHEN MEETING OTHER WORLD LEADERS?. OR IS THEIR SKIN TO THICK?

WHY THE SLEDGEHAMMER APPROACH?

What's the excuse for stopping him at a junction near his home in Segambut, bundling him into an unmarked vehicle by balaclava-clad men and then speeding off to the KL police headquarters.

The arrest came an hour before Anwar was scheduled to show up at the police station to be interviewed by officers investigating a sodomy allegation against him.

The manner in which Anwar was arrested today shows that some lessons of 1998 have not been learnt. Only tough days ahead for the Abdullah administration and Malaysia.

If there was any hope that our political culture has progressed since the national shame that was 1998, they were clearly dashed today. And if there was any belief that those in power have understood the message of 8 March, that too was dashed today.

It's no wonder that the credibility of the government is at an all-time low. "No fuel hike until August" became a whopping 40% increase a day later. Yesterday, Federal CID director chief Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin had just said, "We do not arrest anyone just because there is a report lodged against him or her." Today, an hour before the 2pm deadline, it was clearly a different story. It's also disturbing to note that Anwar's lawyer Sankara Nair claims to have spoken to the investigation officer DSP Jude Pereira minutes before the arrest. "We replied that we will be there at 2pm sharp," he said.

Clearly this is another attempt to create an atmosphere of instability in the country. After Monday's traffic jam debacle in which the entire Klang Valley was held hostage by roadblocks ordered by the Home Ministry, this is a very disturbing trend. The political game has taken precedent over the interests of the people and the nation at large.

EXTRACT FROM THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER

UPDATE 4 ANWAR ARREST

2008-07-16T16:57:00.001+08:00

FROM BERNAMA:

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is now at the Kuala Lumpur Contingent Police Headquarters (IPKKL) where he is believed to be giving a statement concerning investigation into the alleged sodomy involving him.

A Bernama journalist who was at the IPKKL saw Anwar arriving in a four-wheel-drive vehicle at 1.10pm escorted by 20 police cars.

The PKR advisor had earlier been given up to 2pm today to appear at the IPKKL to give a statement on the case or face arrest.

On Tuesday, Anwar failed to appear at the IPKKL although it was said that he had agreed to do so to give a statement on the allegation that he had committed sodomy against his former aide, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

Earlier this morning, the PKR advisor was at the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) Headquarters in Putrajaya to give a statement concerning his report against Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hassan and Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail.

PKR president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, when met by reporters at the IPKKL, said Anwar was arrested by police near their home in Segambut while returning home after giving a statement to the ACA in Putrajaya.

She said she was attending the Dewan Rakyat sitting when she received a call from her husband on the detention, and subsequently rushed to the IPKKL.

"Datuk Seri Anwar managed to call me while he was being taken to the IPKKL in a car," she said.

Anwar's lawyer, Sankara Nair was also seen at the IPKKL and entering the building, believed to be accompanying Anwar in making the statement.

Other PKR leaders who were waiting to get the latest news on Anwar at the IPKKL were his daughter, Nurul Izzah, who is also the Member of Parliament for Lembah Pantai, PKR vice-president Mohamed Azmin Ali, PKR information head Tian Chua, PKR Youth head Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin, DAP chairman Karpal Singh and DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang.

Karpal Singh, when met by reporters, said he would endeavour to get Anwar's release as soon as possible.

Nurul Izzah, meanwhile, said she was supposed to accompany her father to the IPKKL this afternoon after promising to do so.

Meanwhile, police tightened security at all the entrants into the IPKKL following the latest development.

Within less than one hour that Anwar was at the IPKKL, about 200 of his supporters were seen waiting outside the IPKKL compound. - BERNAMA

UPDATE 3 ANWAR ARREST

2008-07-16T16:41:00.000+08:00

FROM AFP:

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was arrested on Wednesday, police said, over allegations that he sodomised a male aide which threaten to thwart his plan to seize power.

Anwar's wife Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said she feared for his safety, after the events of a decade ago when he was sacked as deputy premier, beaten up by the police chief, and jailed for six years on sodomy and corruption charges.

"My concern is for my husband's safety and we want access to see him," said Wan Azizah, a parliamentarian whose Keadilan party leads a three-member opposition alliance.

"I feel apprehensive because my husband is 10 years down the road, he is not that well, he has a bad back, he's had surgery and from a brief conversation, he said they (police) were not gentle," she said.

Earlier on Wednesday, Anwar dismissed the accusations as a conspiracy to prevent him from seizing power, and said it was a re-run of past events when he was slapped with charges widely seen as politically motivated.

"There's no basis for this whole fabrication and malicious attacks. It is just a repeat of the 1998 script. You can see the pattern," he told reporters. "I will challenge them on every ground."

His lawyer Sankara Nair said he was with the opposition leader in a vehicle approaching his home when a team of special forces police surrounded the car.

"The manner in which they surrounded our vehicle, it put a lot of fear and intimidation into us," he said, criticising authorities for pouncing just an hour before Anwar was due to appear at police headquarters for questioning.

Deputy national police chief Ismail Omar confirmed Anwar had been arrested, saying he was a suspect in the sodomy case and would undergo a medical examination.

"He is not being charged with anything yet, don't jump to conclusions," Ismail told AFP.

"We have to record his statement to complete our investigations," he said. "Once the facts are in we can make a decision."

Police can detain him for 24 hours after which they must apply for a court order that would allow them to keep him for up to 14 days without charge.

It was not clear why Anwar was taken into custody even though he had agreed to be questioned over assault allegations levelled by Mohamad Saiful Bukhari Azlan, a 23-year-old who was a volunteer in his office.

Sodomy, even between consenting adults, is illegal in predominantly Muslim Malaysia and carries a penalty of up to 20 years imprisonment.

The charges threaten to derail Anwar's political comeback, and his plans to oust the government with the help of defecting lawmakers, after landmark March elections that handed the opposition unprecedented gains.

Keadilan issued an immediate call for its supporters to rally outside the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters where Anwar was taken, but said they would remain cautious as they feared more arrests.

"There's a possibility that they would like to provoke so they can justify a much wider crackdown against the democratic movement in Malaysia," said the party's information chief Tian Chua.

The mood at the headquarters was tense, with up to 100 armed officers watching over about 200 protesters.

Anwar's 1998 downfall, during the Asian financial crisis which heightened his power struggle with then premier Mahathir Mohamad, triggered massive protests in a "Reformasi" or "Reform" movement that continues to reverberate.

Malaysian opposition leader Anwar arrested

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, who has been accused of sodomising a male aide, has been arrested outside his home, his lawyer said Wednesday.

"The police came and took him away," said lawyer Sankara Nair, who said he witnessed the arrest.

"He had just arrived home when about 10 officers detained him at the gate of his home," he told AFP.

Nair said the police did not specify what the opposition leader was being charged with, but that he would be taken to the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters.

Anwar's Keadilan party, which leads a three-member opposition alliance, issued an immediate call for his supporters to rally outside the headquarters in the city's downtown.

"Anwar has been detained by police while travelling to his home... All supporters are asked to gather" it said in a SMS text message.

ANWAR TO MEET POLICE WEDNESDAY

2008-07-15T15:28:00.001+08:00

from asiaone:

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - MALAYSIAN opposition figure Anwar Ibrahim agreed on Tuesday to meet police on a sodomy complaint against him, hoping to avoid a potentially embarassing arrest that could further raise political tensions.

Datuk Seri Anwar will meet police on Wednesday on allegations brought against him by a former aide, his lawyer said, hoping to calm a row that has raised political temperatures and distressed foreign investors.

'We are not worried. Absolutely not,' Mr Sankara Nair told reporters. 'My client is ready to face whatever the police will do and he is going to defend himself in court.'

Mr Anwar, who is leading an effort by the opposition to seize power by September, had challenged police to serve an order on him after he failed to turn up to give his statement on Monday.

The former deputy premier was angered police attempted to serve an order on him after he had agreed to go voluntarily, Mr Nair said, but added his client still faced arrest.

But Mr Nair said Mr Anwar could still be arrested.

'I would say that I won't discount the possibility (of Anwar's arrest) if they have a case,' he said.

Mr Anwar has called for a news conference for 3pm, but further details were not immediately available.

MISSING PI’S HOME RANSACKED!

2008-07-14T10:55:00.002+08:00

A Singapore paper had this article today.

Drawers were pulled out of cupboards and strewn about the room. Documents were thrown all over the floor. Even the childrens room was not spared.

Someone was obviously looking for something of importance at the home of Malaysian private investigator mr balasubramaniam the man behind the famous SD against najib.

The intruders left the tv, dvd player and a pricey camera equipment untouched, but only a computer seems missing.

His neighbours had reported the burglary on Thursday. About 20 policemen visited the house on Friday with his relatives.

Now the question is, who has done this and what were they searching for. Hmmm.. the mystery deepens and the plot thickens. Robbery can be totally ruled out as the motive for the intrusion can be clearly seen. What were they after?... and did they get what they came for.? This mystery is really ripe for a good novel or even a Hollywood movie . it has all the ingredients , action, murder, robbery , duress, politics, big guns, disappearance , Interpol. I bet it would be a blockbuster…..cheers

WILL THE AG DROP ANWAR’S SODOMY CASE?

2008-07-13T17:01:00.000+08:00

A midst high tension in parliament tomorrow and the security measures taken by our man in arms, indicates something is in the wind.

With the call for vote of no confidence and the persistent rumor of a rakyat rally in the thousands have spooked a lot of people.

To add icing to the cake anwar has a date with police, in the KL headquarters tomorrow 14 july. Initially this so called police interview was suppose to be held yesterday, but after behind the scene negotiation it was postpone to tomorrow. This in it’s self shows the marked difference of the police attitude in 1998 and now. Why so?. Yes my friends they are threading on eggshells, and they have move very very cautiously .

If remember how in 1998 the police bust into his home and dragged out like a terrorist?

This time around circumstances are different, they may be arresting the future PM of Malaysia, the leader of the opposition, the most popular Politian in recent times.

Anwar is worried that after tomorrows interview he will arrested. I can bet you that will never happen. Why? You may ask. Proof ! proof ! is whats lacking. Yes they have taken statements from 20 odd people and all is circumstantial. Yes it boils down to saiful’s word against anwar’s. so who do you believe?. If it ever goes to court it will be thrown out due to weak evidence.

And I strongly doubt the AG is willing to risk his neck again, just like the previous kangaroo court. And also the AG will have to talk to badawi regarding to proceed or not. And I can bet you badawi will definitely scarp the idea. Why? For the simple reason of ratings and public perception.

I would say at least 75% of the general public perception is this latest allegation is a ploy by umno. Even if it is not true, but the public opinion once conformed will be very difficult to erase. And if you ask anyone 2 out 3 people will tell you that these latest episode has in effect elevated anwar to a even higher pedestal, through sympathy.

So all in all I can safely put a wager that the case is a dead end, and the books will closed and as much as badawi wants to move on, so will najib and gang will try to out maneuver both badawi and anwar.

What will the next round bring into the political court …your guess is as good as mine..cheers

RM$20,000 BRIBE PAID TO TOP OFFICIALS!

2008-07-13T10:11:00.001+08:00

It was interesting to read, that our very own ACA, went undercover for 5 months to bust a ring of syndicate involving social visit visa’s.

Its highly commendable work, and, credit should be given when due. Without fear or favor takes a new meaning, in Malaysia this time around!

Imagine the rot in the civil service, and worst of all it starts from the very top.

Director-general and deputy director-general of the immigration arrested for taking bribes?

My, my this indeed a c4 story. Total of 13 people were taken in for question and answer session with the ACA. RM$150,000 was also sized, but I believe this peanuts, as the amount should run into millions if such high guns are involved. We just have to wait for the ACA to come out with more figures.

According to the star, senior officers get between RM500 and RM700 per passport for a single extension while top officers get between RM10,000 and RM20,000 per agent per month.

This is indeed a lot of money. And I believe there is also a whistle blower somewhere in the midst. A disgruntle immigration officer who did not receive his fair share. Well whatever it was, at least in this case, the ACA did not hide anything or sweep it under the rug.

So I have to eat my words this time and utter these words of praise to our ACA:

BRAVO ACA director-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan, JOB WELL DONE!

MY HATS OFF TO YOU SIR! KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK! MAY YOUR DEDICATION AND HARDWORK FIND MORE CORRUPT OFFICIALS….cheers

In politics you have no permanent allies or permanent enemies, so said a famous politician once.

A friend today can be you worst enemy tomorrow. That’s how dirty politics is. If you are prepared to dirty you hands in politics, then be prepared to go all the way. Yes my dear readers , that’s the dirty world of politics and non can be worse then politics in our bolehland.

In our bolehland if you are with the ruling party then you have at your disposal, the Police. The AG, the ACA, and the judiciary to help you out. And lately even the army which so far been neutral, is slowly creeping into the mainstream politics.

Yes they can shout and scream that the are independent, and will investigate without fear and favor. But how many of us will believe them?. Yes they can say I am talking rubbish, where is you proof? Ofcourse I cannot proof anything. Even though I cannot proof all these allegation does not mean it not there. I cannot show you the wind or the air we breath , but that does not mean its not there. Talk to 90% of the people in bolehland, I bet you all of them will tell you the same thing.

So badawi said he is staying on till 2010, to rectify all these perception. That’s his excuse, to clean up the house. What he could not do since 2004 to 2008, he wants to achieve in 2 years. I find it hard to believe him, and I am sure you will agree with me.

He is just there to manipulate his retirement that’s all, I doubt he is ever going to change anything. By fixing his date to leave he has pulled the rug under najibs feet, so he has handcuffed najib and gang for the next 2 years, a very clever move I would say.

Now coming to the loose cannon a one MR EZAM. The man with 6 boxes of dirt that was suppose to bring down UMNO once and for all. Where are these 6 boxes of dirt. The last I heard its some where in the UK for safe keeping or has it been sold to umno for $$$? Only GOD knows. In the star paper today he his said to challenge his one time mentor anwar to a debate. And he asking for respect and that PKR youth have no grounds to criticise him. The last I heard, is that respect is accorded and not meant to be asked. In other words its given not taken. I really cannot understand this guy, Is he a turncoat or a Trojan? The way he is play acting it looks to me he is more of turncoat. Rumors are strongly pointing at him for the latest soto mee scandal against his former mentor. Weather its true or not is not the issue here. I wonder how a man can change so much. During the 1^st soto mee case he was the most harden support of anwar, saying that it’s a frame up. Now he believes anwar is a soto meeit, and that saiful is telling the truth.

Remember what I said in the beginning , in politics you have no permanent allies or permanent enemies. It all depends on which way the wind blows. Who is the chameleon here? Unfortunately for ezam, badawi has set the time table for handing over power. 2 years is along time. Anything can happen. If anwar manages to swing the bn mp’s his way and take over the government before that two years are up, I wonder what this ezam chameleon will do?. Will he bring out a different crate of boxes of dirt on PKR?.

And I wonder in the first place why our mainstream papers give this guy so much air time? Why has not other more high ranking umno stalwarts said anything, everybody keeping mum over all these current issues? I cannot understand this. Why is ezam making the most noise? He may be the scapegoat! I believe strongly this is the case.

Turncoats are never trusted in any situation, and in bolehland politics his situation is even worse.

So when the time comes, our friend ezam will be the fallguy for umno. Just wait and see, this the scenario is being played and he does not know it yet. But he’s being soto meed in broad daylight and he’s none the wiser for it. Umno is playing him like a fiddle and he still thinks by making all the noise will put him in a high pedestal, but like all turncoats he is unaware that his been screwed….and I say he deserves it….cheers

SINGAPORE MEDIA ORDERED TO TONE DOWN!

2008-07-09T17:15:00.000+08:00

Singapore newspapers were having a field day reporting the current mudslinging campaign between anwar and najib.

Then a letter from the Malaysian commissioner Mr Parameswaran was sent recently to the papers.

The contents was simple enough:

The high commissioner said newspapers in Singapore should "treat with much more circumspection allegations or innuendoes that clearly seek to damage the character and reputation" of important Malaysian personalities. It said it was unwise for Singapore media to take sides.

"Although developments in Malaysia affect Singapore, we must be disinterested external observers, not partisan participants in their domestic politics," it said.

This letter was despatched after Today newspaper published an article "Under fire -- the First Lady-in-waiting" on June 27 which Parameswaran said had "vilified" Rosmah.

Then the Singapore big guns start their salvo. First it was george teo and then followed by lee hsien loong . The Singapore PM called for objectivity in the reports.

As in all things in Singapore, when the big guns say something, you better buckle up.

So now it was reporter in asiaone as such:

The Singapore media has sobered up its coverage of Malaysian politics after a bout of feverish reporting since the March 8 general election.

“They do publish some Malaysian reports but no specific mention of names, comments and reactions.

No more slanted reports had appeared on Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, wife of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Malaysian High Commission second secretary Azhan Mohamed Yasin is a happy man as he said there were no more reports bearing lurid headlines of "turmoil" in Malaysia.

As far as I know, the only totally free reporting newspaper in the world, can only be found in “India”….. this is a fact. Don’t believe me, just try reading some of the papers from India, then you will know what I mean…..cheers

DO THEY KNOW THE MEANING OF HUNGER?

2008-07-08T17:46:00.003+08:00

Just two days ago, Gordon Brown(Britain’s PM) was urging us all to stop wasting food and combat rising prices and a global shortage of provisions.

But yesterday the Prime Minister and other world leaders sat down to an 18-course gastronomic extravaganza at a G8 summit in Japan, which is focusing on the food crisis.

The dinner, and a six-course lunch, at the summit of leading industrialised nations on the island of Hokkaido, included delicacies such as caviar, milkfed lamb, sea urchin and tuna, with champagne and wines flown in from Europe and the U.S.

Can we trust this hypocrites’ to solve the world food crisis? The irony of it all!!!!

A wise man once said:

We hang petty thieves and appoint great ones to public office ! .. how sad but true.

LADIES IF YOU PLAN TO HAVE BABIES AVOID….

COFFEE !!!

Four cups of coffee a day seriously damage a woman’s chances of having a baby, research suggests.

The effect is almost as bad as the problems in pregnancy caused by alcohol, smoking or being overweight, a fertility conference heard.

Women drinking that much caffeine were 26 per cent less likely to have a baby — adding to evidence that it can harm fertility and the health of an unborn baby.

The Dutch researchers followed the health and habits of 9,000 women with fertility problems for up to 13 years.

When the researchers from Radbout University in Nijmegen looked at why some women conceived naturally and others didn’t, they found lifestyle played a critical role.

Those who drank four or more cups of coffee, tea or other caffeinated drinks a day were 26 per cent less likely to have had a baby, the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology’s annual conference in Barcelona was told.

Having three or more alcoholic drinks a week had the same effect, while being slightly overweight cut the chances of getting pregnant.

Smoking still appeared to be the most damaging, with more than one cigarette a day cutting the odds by more than a third.

Professor Ledger a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology added that caffeine could also damage sperm, meaning that men should also think about how much tea or coffee they drink.

The British Coffee Association conceded that previous studies had shown a high intake of caffeine delayed conception, but insisted smoking was worse.

Spokesman Zoe Wheeldon said: ‘Scientific evidence demonstrates that for pregnant women or those trying to conceive up to 300mg of caffeine per day is perfectly safe.

WHERE IS THE COMMON SENSE?

A short story (recycled from a earlier post)

THERE was once a very clever smuggler.He comes to the border checkpoint with

a donkey carrying straw.

The border police are aware that this man is a smuggler. so they take apart the straw

looking for the illegal valuables . but alas! they found noting.

We are sure you are smuggling something, said the border police as the man crossed the border.

the next day the same thing happened, but this time the border official went high tech.

they brought in a x-ray machine, thinking that they will find something inside the donkey.

but to their dismay , found noting again.

now each day for the next 12 years the man came to the border with the donkey, and the

officials searched and searched the straw bundles and the donkey but never found anything.

many years later, the retired old border official , met the same smuggler in a coffee shop.

said the official , i beg you please, tell me what were you smuggling?.

the smuggler just smiled and said "DONKEYS".... I WAS SMUGGLING DONKEYS YOU IDIOTS!

the irony of it all.... the obvious is not so obvious.....common sense is not that common.

This story reminds me of how some elements in our bolehland actually do their job. I will not name these elements , lest I be seditious. I will leave that to your imagination.

Imagine, the whole country is looking for the PI and his family? Now even the Interpol has been activated. Is the intelligence community in our country so lacking that the don’t know their left hand from right hand. I just cannot understand which idiot is running that organization. In the eyes of the world, we must look like real morons.

Let me relate a true incident without naming names and places about how effective intelligence gathering works in a neighbours country.

A close friend of mind works in some sensitive project for the particular government, related to defense systems. Mind you he is not even in the military, just an engineer, contracted to work on some infra structure . then one fine day he decides to take a holiday after the completion of the project. Since he did not want to go far, he just flew to a neighbouring country for a short holiday. He has many friends in the country he was visiting. And of his friend he visited was an army officer, whom he had seen for ages. They had a good time , catching up with the old times and talking about family and friends.

Finally when the holiday was up, he flew back to his country, and can you imagine his surprise when two military intelligent officers were waiting for him, at the immigration clearance. They produced their warrants and my friend was escorted away to an unknown location and interrogated for 12 hours on his purpose of visit to the foreign land.

To his shock , they had every detail of his visit, photographs, time, places and what have you. They were particularly interested in his meeting with his army buddy. Well to cut the story short , I guess you know what they we barking at. I brought out this incident to show how intelligence gathering works. And how efficient some people are, which is very lacking in our boleh land. Imagine losing a high profile PI just like that, they were caught with their pants down.

Take my hats off to the PI though,……he really went PRIVATE!

Anyway if you wandering what happened to my friend after that, well noting really. He was allowed to go home, but guess what, he never got another government contract again….cheers

A TALE FROM MIDDLE EAST

FATE (recycled from an april08 posting)

ONE day a servant came running into the court of king Solomon.

please your highness I beg you, let me borrow your fastest horse. I need to be in a city ten miles from here before night fall, he begged of the wise king.

Puzzled, at such a request from his servant,

Why? asked the king.

because, I just met DEATH in the garden, said the trembling servant. I know I'm to be taken and I don't want to be around here when DEATH comes to claim me.

the wise king feeling sorry for the servant, said take my fastest magical horse with hoofs of wings.

grateful, the servant bowed and left in haste.

then later in the evening, while king Solomon was walking in the garden, he saw DEATH sitting by the pond with a very worried look on his face.

being a fair King , he asked DEATH, what's wrong?, why the worry in your face?

to this DEATH said:

I'm supposed to claim the life of your servant tonight.

but i'm supposed to claim his life in a city ten miles of here!

Unless he has a horse with wings, I don't see how this can happen.

I'm a strong believer of fate.

Everything we do, or don't do, i strongly feel is fated.

Will anwar be the next PM

Will najib be the PM

Will badawi remain to continue

whatever is written in the book of fate will just go on, amidst all that’s happening around us. I doubt a mortal can do anything to change even a dot that’s already written in the books. So my friends don’t be stress out , everyday that’s born has its article already written out. All that it needs is for it to continue on its own stage , playing out lifes drama as it should. We are just mere props or additional actors required by the play to continue on it journey as it plays out its part. Most important is live out you life to the fullest possible and as an unknown author puts it:

“do whatever good possible for a fellow human being now, as you will not pass this way again”……leave you with that though for now….cheers
