Mat Dohfus Pt. 2

"Focus on training and ignore the critics.." UMNO Youth Chief Datuk Seri Krishammuddin Tun Hussain advices the 10 selected "rempit-sympathizers" of UMNO Youth (here) who will jump from 6,000 ft above sea level over the Artic in -35 degrees Celsius temperatures between April 15-20, 2007.

Why is the minister so vehemently trying to prove these 10 youths' credibility? In my earlier post
(read here ) UMNO Putera Youth Bureau Chairman a certain Datuk AAAR (se) said something similiar and now our good minister is 'lip-syncing' like a canary that same tune ? Does the future of UMNO Putera rests on the "sucess" of this jump ? Surely this minister's got his expectations of our youth in a confused 'mode for success'!

So excuse me Mr. UMNO Youth Chief, don't you ever say this 'expedition' is not funded by me, you( hmm... you..I'm not so sure !!) and all tax-paying citizens of this country ! Every thing UMNO does IS with public funds, so stop saying we have no right to know how "wisely" our taxed ringgits are being used ! And how much is all this going to put us back with... huh...1 million, 2 million or is this running into the billion ?? (these days the word million has become 'loose change' and billion is the norm!)
Is it, also true the team leader 'broke' his leg recently during 'practise ' jumps ? And that he won't be leaving or leading his charges to the North Pole ? How much will these choosen 'princely kids' be paid after the expedition ? Who's paying them ? Or will they all be given branch chairman positions in UMNO Putera ? Is our honorable Datuk AAAR also a part of the contigent...?( of course meh.... there should only be 10 youths plus a couple of extras following the expedition but then you know... this is Bolehland lah ....so must take 150 supporters, sympathizers, hangers-on, pachiks, machiks, ketua kampongs, leeches, machais, cameramen and not forgetting the make-up artists and stunt- doubles for comfort..heh...heh! )
Questions, questions, questions... and I need answers babe... you think I have no right to ask ? Now go on, you tell me..!

And on that expedition, the 150 supporters along with the 10 focused jumpers will be put in kick-ass hotels (or whatever you can get close enough to the Artic). About 3 days later (or maybe a month) after they have acclimatised to the weather (good luck!), the 10 lads will try to board some sort of flying vehicle and head for the skies, as I might imagine ... hopefully a plane and not an airborne motorbike. And then, at the point of 6,000 ft, 9 of them will say "mak datuk, tak nak lompatlah. Sejuk" We will always have one hero who will brave the odds and jump. On their return to Malaysia, the hero will be given some kind of title, some land and a director's post somewhere. The rest will go home and wait to 'support' the next brilliant expedition.

Stephen,

Here are some pertinent information regarding this typical 'melayu syiok sendiri' project:

a)www.skypole.ru/north98/north98_e.htm
It contains data on the first and only successful North pole jump in 1998.

b)The 2nd jump on the South pole, a couple of years later, did not materialise as it was not a 'registered' expedition.

c)Both jumps were done by seasoned and experienced skydivers including members from the military led by Dato Abdul Rahim Dahalan aka Rahim King, a lowly ranked ex commando, with 'big ideas'. Guess what type of datukship he's holding? Similar to our Tourism minister but from Mindanao. He's apparently the group team leader and if it's true that he 'broke' his legs recently during a sky jump, will he still be part of the new expedition? Rahim King is Dato AAAR's link man to this project.

d)Jump team leader - En Haziq Azlan, 19 years, credited with over 400 jumps and apparently got the jump bug from his father who is an experienced parachutist.

e)Jump coaches - En Azlan Ismail and En Karim Saleh. Scant data available on these blokes.

Points to consider:

1)Is this expedition registered with the proper authorities in Russia? There is also a minimum jump credits qualification that each participant must have to register for such jumps.

2)Will the helicopter (Mi8) or plane (Il76) be piloted by a malaysian and if so, is there any proper accreditation done?

3)Several days of training here, no matter how extensive, will not prepare these 'idiots' for the extreme cold temperatures over the north pole. Even when wearing polar suits. Minus 35 degree Cent on the ground. Minus 50 degree Cent in the air. There's also the wind factor to consider. At a freefall speed of 160mph, what do you think will be the 'chilling' effect?

For heavens sakes, the training here is at our ambient conditions i.e. TROPICAL! These 'idiots' eyeballs are gonna freeze in their sockets, not to mention their other scrotal equivalents. It's critical to watch your altimeter when making your descent and at the same time, keep an eye out for where the others are. Flying into each other in mid-air is a definite no-no.

Canopy deployment immediately after exiting an aircraft will scatter the jumpers all over the landing site, risking exposure to the elements while waiting to be picked up.

4)It will cost an average of RM75,000 for each participant. How many are in the entourage?

I suppose it should be alright for this cock-brained idea to proceed if Kerishamuddin takes the lead jump. The rest of the team gets to do it on the 2nd run AFTER ascertaining our YB ain't dead on the snow. More out of fright than anything else.

I'd like to finish this with "Should you accept this mission, UMNO Putera shall disavow any involvement if any tragic ending should occur. In other words, Bring Glory or Be Dead".

This is very glaringly another exercise in pure futility. For what purpose and objective that by jumping from 6000 ft in the Artic they will be contributing to anything worthwhile at all apart from scrounging on the tax payers money. Hishamuddin normally talks from down below. According to Azeeez the fund was from contribution from supporters. If so how much is the fund, tax payers have the right to know.

The biggest winners in this stupid exercise will be the polar bears, which apparently have been flocking to the drop zone since February, likely in anticipation of a grand feast...
