Open season on monkeys !

Freeze this picture in your mind's eye......this will probably be the last you will see of this little fella, thanks to our caring politicians for the generous gesture to trap and ship this little fella off to China where he would either end up in a laboratory or more likely in a cage, chained underneath a table with his head exposed and fitted tightly through a hole on top in a diner for diners to clobber his skull and expose his brains, whilst the happy diner also pours a dash of brandy or rice wine and then stir evenly and scoop-up in little spoons and gleefully eat this poor fellas brains raw while he shrieks and screams in agony till he goes out of his mind and die a cursed death !! Bon apetite !

You might want to ask what crime this little and innocent fella commited ? Nothing...absolutely nothing , that's what !

TV Smith has a photo essay here !

We have these defenseless buggers in abundance here in Malaysia and those found in urban areas have become a nuinance, ( see... it is man-the greedy moron- who encroaches and tears down this little fella's habitat and leave him with no place to live )...so we have the whole "intellegent" cabinet withdrawing the protection accorded under the Wildlife Protection Act , while some crony sets up a company and offers RM 30.00 per "live" monkey to bounty hunters as reward.

A little 'monkey' also told me, this "export company" has an agreed contract to market this prized easy pickings for up to RM300.00 per head ! I wonder how much of this is true.... but then who cares...do you ?? Does anyone know the name of this company ? The directors or share-holders ?

Looks like everything has a price, right ?....now try and imagine how much we can profit if we were to market these monkeys' bigger "cousins-in-suits" who walk the corridors of power........eerrmhh..no, not much lah...cos the sale is priced according to brain-size lah ! Nope...surely not profit, but I like the thought and am willing to forego any profit !

I cannot stand tall as a proud Malaysian this Merdeka for I am ashamed and I bow my head in mourning for the fate of this little fella who incidently is a relative....... and yours too !! It's okay if you still want to deny......afterall we do live in a state of 'DENIAL'...right ?

Caring Malaysians indeed....so to everyone else...Merdeka ! whatever that means anymore !

Good diversion from real issues !

What a load of bull......this mass diversion of the rakyat's attention from the real issue.... the many scandals and the raping of billions of RM by the powers-that-be, to direct our focus on an almost innocent rap version of the National anthem by a frustrated but patriotic student in Taiwan !! (I hear it was quite tastefully done by this talented young man !) Shame on you guys to even discuss and waste Parliament time ( read here) and MP's salary for such a so-called non-issue !! That young man has sincerely apologised.....accept it and move on...!! I also know of bigger men (both in age and position) who have not the guts to do the gentlemen thing !

I dare Parliament to get the real unpatriotic swindllers and morons who are robbing my country blind and bring to book all those arrogant and self appointed "little napoleons" first, as the issue sizzles-up in the Port Klang FTZ bail-out, the unwarranted expenditure of tax-payers funds used for organising the CYC, the screw-ups in road/transport tragedies daily, the Proton sale issue or even the absolute rot in our double-standard police force (click Rocky on blog-roll )....shameful to discuss this "Negaraku ku" thingy in Parliament.....get a life, all you monkeys-in-suits and make me proud of your position by displaying your intellegence in that august house !......go for real issues about racial harmony, transparency, national unity and intergrity and honesty in discharging of the laws and rules without fear or favor by the police !

Don't use this "Negaraku ku" as an excuse to stall or buy time to do cover-ups ! Enough is enough ! We are 50 years old....enough of bullshit, please.....we know how to address an insult when we hear one....and right now in all honesty, there is a little truth in this angry and short-changed young man's version ......okay but now let me divert your attention back to the REAL issues mentioned above !! And that's my Merdeka dream wish list !

God Bless Malaysia........my homeland !

move on.....its only fated, right ?

What a sick and bizzare week this has been....first I deliberately left my CYC posting on, just so I can say... "there you have it folks...just 1 point from 3 games".....and we are kicked out even before we can start bragging...and you...yeah you and I...........dumb tax-paying suckers !!... still think we can save this poor excuse for a sport from lining the pockets of some very "FORTUNEate" people within the inner circles of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and their cronies ! Forget it and lets just move on, folks......okay !

If that was not bad enough for the week.....then comes this tragic bus accident in Bukit Gantang near Taiping !

It tears me to read these heart-wrenching stories (read here). So who's going to explain to the near and dear of the critically wounded or dead persons to move on in life......get over it or it was "fated" that it happen ...?? The bus operaters, the licensing board, the Minister of Transport, the police, JPJ, JKR or CVLB or the innocent mother of the dead driver, who still swears of her son's innocence and responsibility despite having had 13 summonses and 2 warrants of arrest ??

Everything will be done now to pass the blame from one department to another whilst all heads of department maintain a perfectly balanced composure of a guilt-free image !

And if all avenues are exhausted......then point a finger skywards....and declare the ever famous "act of GOD " tagline !!

And no questions or inquiries will arise, just some huhah pretenders disguised as committees investigating and wasting more tax-payers monies as the bus operators continue to milk the poor, lowly folks who still need to take a bus, the JPJ will continue to be "closing one eye", the police will not comment as investigations are still under way , the minister will still not miss his golf game every morning, and the mother will still love and terribly miss her devoted and innocent bus-driver son....life goes on...move on and get a life... and thats the reality of life in this doomed country !

God bless Malaysia on her 50th. birthday and we continue to move on........sigh !

we are suckers..again...yes ?

At a time when Malaysians are looking for miracle answers to the woes of Malaysian football, I find it very ironic, if not hypocritical of the Malaysian Government, in this case the Ministry of Youth and Sports, to hold an insignificant tournament that costs a whopping RM17 million of yours and my tax-deduct money !!!

Yes...I am talking about the Champions Youth Cup under-19 tournament from Aug 8-19. Can you imagine that RM17m of our money is spent on a 12-day tournament? I believe the Ministry has signed on a 2+1 year deal, which makes it three years with a total of RM51 million ++ folks, over a combined total of a 36-day period .

Will somebody please answer these few awkward yet pertinent questions ???

How can a 12-day under-19 football tournament, even involving the world’s best clubs help elevate the status and standard of Malaysian football ?
Is there some kind of twinning programme where our under-19s can live, train, and compete in Europe ?
How does training with the Arsenal Academy for a week or two help improve the quality of our national under-19 team that went there ?
Isn’t that eyewash just to show that the CYC is beneficial to Malaysian football ?
If this was a showcase event for the celebration of 50 years of Merdeka, then why this isn’t a tournament that parades the stars of these clubs ?
Do Azalina and gang believe we the Malaysians are going to fill the stadiums to watch these matches when there are no big names in these teams ?
Are we being again conned by the "certain foreigners" with the help of our own kind who are probably profiteering out of this too ?
Who is going to question Azalina and her gang on this ?

But what stuns me the most is that the same Cabinet Committee for Sports that has demanded an explanation from the FAM, has not questioned the justification of spending RM17 of taxpayers’ money on a tournament that is in no way going to help develop Malaysian football.

Shouldn’t that money be channeled to football development? If Azalina and the Cabinet are truly interested in seeing our "juara kampung" football improve, and if they are sincere about wanting to help, then shouldn’t they have been more thrifty than spendthrift ?

Everyone knows that Malaysian football needs that money more than the "white men" who own this tournament. Here’s Malaysian football crying for help, and the Malaysian Government is pumping its money into frivolous ventures.

Sure hosting the CYC is good, but at this cost, it’s a sheer waste of money, At the end of the day we will be paying the "mat sallehs" RM17 million to humilate and demoralise our under-19 team right in our own backyard ! And then what is the Cabinet Committee going to do, ask for another report from FAM....or the usual post-mortem again ??

I am no fan of the FAM, and I know it has not done much to make its defence good. But how sincere can Azalina and the Cabinet Committee be about wanting to see football development in this country when they keep focusing on money-making ventures ?

A little bird also told me that a certain officer of the Ministry’s communications department is going to financially benefit from this tournament too ?.....heheheh...ya baby... Malaysia Boleh !!

I know the mainstream media can’t question the justification of the CYC because Azalina basically has them by their balls by investing in the various papers on advertisements. On top of that, the organizers have invested more than RM1 million in advertising in yet another main -stream paper.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but what it simply means here is, instead of sending the under-19s to Arsenal Academy, we should send our National team to Brasil for maybe 3 weeks or even 3 months (never mind the cost !!) and voila'...!... we'd have a world class team ready for the next world cup !...yes ??

So I believe we should say our piece and help put an end to this tournament being played here again for that kind of money. This year’s RM17m is lost, but I, Shanghai Stephen, hereby propose we still can save the country from being "screwed" of another RM34 million of our hard earned tax money !!

Cheers !

Developed State...Selangor ???

I am pissed off...really pissed off with the attitude of the government servants in the Land Office in Banggi, Selangor. It is 9 months now, since payment was made to extract a document and get it certified by a moron who alternates as a Assistant District Officer, with no sight of the document or a firm answer from any of the staff as yet !(Tell me , how long does it take for you to take a page out of a file, photostate it and get it signed by your boss and then give me a call to come and collect it ???)...OR do I have to 'grease' someone's palm.......do I really,really, please tell me ?????

Why and what do these government servants, who live off, tax-payers money, do all day long in the office is beyond me !! I have tried all avenues as to contact an idiot within that "small estate" claims office but he's never in or always telling me he's busy or his collegue will say he's out for a hearing or "khursus" or "meshuarat" or some other bull-shit excuse !

By a stroke of stupidity by a certain over-zealous moron of old, certain properties or parcels of land in the Ulu Langat district are misplaced/shared between 2 land offices, i.e. the Banggi Land Office and the Salak Tinggi Land Office in Sepang.

As the saying goes "caveat emptor" or in layman's language "let the buyer beware", all those who have purchased properties whose original titles lead back to "Extract from the Mukim Registry"(or E.M.R.) and have a "Restriction-in-interest" clause,( today they have it in so many other names in Bahasa Malaysia !!) in the Ulu Langat region in Selangor , you have to juggle between these 2 land offices IF and WHEN you are faced with the misfortune of inheriting your beloved's property in that district, upon their demise ! God help you !

I am actually hoping these "government servants" who are being paid by my tax deducts try and contact me after reading this post ( ahhh... now I know,maybe they spend their day reading blogs, sheesh... I should start writing in Bahasa !)...or can someone tell that "Developed State"-Chief Minister with a dentistry background to go kick some arses or asses in Banggi Land Office ( Harta Pesaka Department on the 1st. floor !) and then contact me !!

I'm sick of the arrogance displayed by these morons at that land office when contacted, and who act like "I owe them my life" and have no decency to do a days "honest" work !

Developed state indeed...just wait for the next election !

Blogger in Parliament ?

It's official, blogger Jeff Ooi of Screenshots fame has finally applied to be a member of the Democratic Action Party or DAP and is gearing to run for a Parliamentary seat in the up-coming election ! Go man......go !

(go here for more)

He is going in with his eyes wide open and his "Think Malaysian First" catch-line and will face a struggle against the more well-equiped Barisan Nasional power-house with their 3 M's i.e. money,machinery and media ! (you may be tempted to add another M for "monkeys" !)

Of course Jeff will be the bloggers "choice and voice" in all the right places and I know he would "right the wrong perceptions" BN politicians have been drilled to think of, of bloggers at large ! He also mentioned in his inaugural "acceptance" speech that he will "enrich the joe public"......well thats good enough for me for now !

"You may be disappointed if you fail...,but you are doomed if you do not try," -: Jeff Ooi (31-7-07)

And to Jeff, my friend, blogger and politician....Cheers brother... and I am still walking with you on that "rocky" road to justice !

Of hypocrites and their prey !

Now that you 've had a good idea and the meaning of hypocrites, we now go about trying to come to terms of these vermins in our midsts !! (also see pic of the week- in tune with cyberspace name-calling !)

Yes,.... you meet them in the office, in Parliament, in pubs, around your neighbourhood, at shopping malls, on the streets, at places of worship, at home, as a matter of fact you can even meet them inside a lift ! They appear as friends , relatives, teachers (religious or otherwise) perfect gentlemen, perfect ladies, politicians or distinguished notaries or just plain stooges of the government ! In short , people whom you have had a fair share of trust placed upon or had convinced you to share your faith with them in all sincerety and hope.... and betrayal or being betrayed is the last thing on your mind ! See you'd go that extra mile to promote them or even give an arm or a leg to protect them !

And thats why you'd feel screwed and drained of life after they have stabbed you in the back and while you bleed, are gloating over your misplaced trust, sincerely laid bare, before them for their manipulation. Your faith in human-kind is certainly at its lowest and "trust" is the most despicable word in your vocabulary ! These hypocrites live off of an alter ego, a figment of their deluded imagination and go on to live off of another unsuspecting victim.

And you are still coming to terms with yourself for being so foolishly naive' and vulnerable in your choice of "people you trust" !....you need a change hhmmmm....or you sure are screwed again, man.....sigh !

"HYPOCRITES"

Today's post (cut & paste ..!) is all about hypocrites in our midst...see if you can identify or relate this post to someone...anyone ?-(extracted from Wikipedia-HERE). Read on ...this is educational and enlightening for all !

Etymology
The word hypocrisy derives from the Greek ὑπόκρισις (hypokrisis), which means "acting out"; the word hypocrite is from the Greek word ὑποκρίτης (hypokrites), the agentive noun associated with hypokrisis, i.e. "actor." Both derive from the verb κρίνω, "judge, assess," presumably because the performance of a dramatic text by an actor was to involve a degree of interpretation, or assessment, of that text.
Nevertheless, whereas hypokrisis applied to any sort of public performance (including the art of rhetoric), hypokrites was a technical term for a stage actor and was not considered an appropriate role for a public figure. In Athens in the 4th Century BC, for example, the great orator Demosthenes ridiculed his rival Aeschines, who had been a successful actor before taking up politics, as a hypokrites whose skill at impersonating characters on stage made him an untrustworthy politician. This negative view of the hypokrites, perhaps combined with the Roman disdain for actors, later shaded into the originally neutral hypokrisis. It is this later sense of hypokrisis as "play-acting," i.e. the assumption of a counterfeit persona, that gives the modern word hypocrisy its negative connotation. In all this, we do not find the modern idea that the hypocrite is unaware of that his performance or argument stands in contradiction with his self: on the contrary, a hypocrite in antiquity was someone who intentionally tried to deceive others.

Defining hypocrisy
In an act of hypocrisy the aim is to condemn another person or people, not to condemn an act. To preach against an act of which one is oneself guilty does not in itself constitute hypocrisy, even if one takes efforts to conceal one's behaviour. It becomes hypocrisy when it involves verbal attacks or demands of punishment against perpetrators of the act that one practices oneself. Hypocrisy can be, simply put, the pot calling the kettle black.
Concealment or evasion is not necessary for hypocrisy; hypocrisy can involve the open practice of a behavior for which one condemns others. If there is a salient difference between the critic and the criticized that makes the criticized person reproachable for the act, but the critic not, it is not hypocrisy; e.g. a parent condemning his child for using a dangerous implement that the parent himself uses is not a hypocrite. If the difference in status appealed to by the critic is bogus, it is indeed hypocrisy. The term double standard is used, confusingly enough, for both cases, as a simple descriptive phrase in the case of the parents, and as a pejorative phrase for open hypocrisy in the second case. [2]
Whether the criticism is based on the absence of a behavior or on the practice of a behavior, the same criteria for hypocrisy apply.
An accusation of hypocrisy may be considered a logical fallacy (specifically that of argumentum ad hominem) because the person carrying out the condemnation is not relevant to the argument used as the basis for that condemnation. A parent who instructs a child not to smoke cigarettes, but who himself smokes, could be making an argument that is valid in and of itself, regardless of the parent's behavior.

Hypocrisy and morality
Hypocrisy has been described alongside lack of sincerity, as a characteristic which attracts particular opprobrium in the modern age. [3]Many belief systems condemn behaviours related to hypocrisy. In some translations of the Book of Job, the Hebrew word chaneph is rendered as "hypocrite," though it usually means "godless" or "profane." In the Christian Bible, Jesus condemns the scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites in the passage known as the Woes of the Pharisees. [4] In the Buddhist text Dhammapada, Gautama Buddha condemns a man who takes the appearance of an ascetic but is full of passions within.[5] In Islam, the Qur'an rails against the munafiq - those who claim to be believers and peacemakers, thinking they are fooling Allah and others, but only fool themselves. [6]

Cheers and have a great "guilt-free" week-end !

"Pirates of the Golden Triangle" !

Well... in just one night out with a cousin and a foreigner, I have partically solved and identified the ever notorious "taxi driving fleas" and their "harbourers" !

It was like this, last Saturday I went to meet my cousin and an Irish friend at the Mandarin Oriental in the KLCC area and as usual, as it is on week-ends , traffic was heavy, so I decided to leave my car at the hotel car park ( and there was the anticipated "much" boozing too !!) and hop on a taxi with the two, to Bukit Bintang for dinner first. We waited in a queue for our taxi and soon the concierge waved one for us. The minute we got in , with a strange accent the driver told us "Thenn rangitt "....I was shocked and protested in bahasa and told him to put the damn meter on, he refused and gave me the dirtiest look, citing traffic-jam bullshit, et cetera et cetera, I immediately told my cousin and our Irish friend to get out of the taxi. We were still at the entrance of the hotel and the driver started swearing at me under his breath, in bahasa ! I naturally retorted and demanded the hotel staff manning the flow of taxis arriving, to reprimand this uncouth taxi driver for not following directives of our fair government, to which ,very sneakily the bell-hop wispered to me.... "no problem ,sir.......we get you another taxi, hokay sir ". By this time , I was already very hot under the collar !! Another few minutes went by, cos there were others too , happily boarding other taxis and getting screwed by the drivers, in the "taxi queue". Then it was our turn and sure enough came this taxi, and the minute I got in , I told the driver to put the meter on,...and to my horror he pointed to the dash-board and sheepishly muttered "No meter, sir !" but I take you to Bukit Bintang for "ten dollah... siiir " !!!!( he had hoped I was from the Bronx !) Just what the hell was going on, I wondered aloud !

This was just too much shit to take so early in the night and even as my cousin tried to pacify me by saying we were running late, I was adamant and got out and went straight to the concierge and explicitly told them, inter alia, they were in cahoots with these taxi drivers !

Sensing trouble, the nice and diplomatic bell-hop quickly herded me aside and smilingly, summoned another..... "special hotel taxi for you only ,sir !" as he snapped his fingers towards a new taxi waiting nearby, definately this time with a meter and also with a very pleasant driver to boot, who eventually took us to our destination, Starhill, for a fraction of the earlier quoted price ! ( guess these "hotel taxis" are kept hidden and on stand-by for people like me who kicked-up a fuss !)

Now you see if only the clean authorities were to go under-cover...sigh.... I'm sure they can nab these maggots who are actually tarnishing the good image of this here country of ours ! How can these hotels of high repute allow these taxis to ply their guests and in the process, rip them ? Every hotel in the "golden triangle" allow these operators to legally fleece their guests, and I say, these so-called high class hotels are to be blamed for this menace ! Isn't it the hotel's responsibilty to ensure all taxis picking up their guest are "certified legal" and government complied taxis ? These hotels practically harbour these "pirates" in their quest for ferrying and fleecing all these gullible and rich foreigners of their euros or dollars !

There you go, Mister Ministers of the relevant Ministries........ start cracking your whip and here laid before you is your expose' .......touche'.......!

Harvard grad, Nat's Free !

Looking a little pale, nervous, tired and dishevelled, with an undergrowth of sparcely rooted facial hair, otherwise known as a beard, Nat Tan walked out of detention at Bukit Perdana Cyber-crime Division of the Police Force today a little after 5.10 p.m.

Together with fellow bloggers, Zorro, O.B.E. and A Voice, a small group of Keadilan supporters and a lawyer, his family and girl-friend Li-Tsin, I was truely glad Nat Tan was finally released from a detention of 4 days, for reasons only the police think is law justified ! This draconian ISA or OSA and unlawful detention HAS to be abolished....period !

As far as I was concerned, Nat the blogger, was free and that was that !

Guess he will need a lot of catching-up of 'quality time' with his family, for the 4 lost days !

Cheers to Nat Tan !

the renaissance man...??

Finally.....finally I really, really want to shake this man's hand for a really good decision he made...He has finally resigned ! Good on you, H.R.H. Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, The Tengku Mahkota of Pahang !(pic.)

Thank you Tengku for that "perfect gentleman" gesture and I hope your splendid actions have opened the flood-gates for all the others to quickly follow suit.......You have given the country the best Merdeka present ever and saved an embarrased nation from further humiliation..... my curious question is, what took you so long ?

And here, too I must commend our intellectual Youth and Sports Minister, Datuk Azalina Othman (here) for her take on this matter by confessing that this is a collective responsibility of the entire FAM and not the Tengku's responsibility alone !

Well folks, there you have it,..... FAM personnel and all the "juara kampung" players .....don't just parrot the good Ministers words but take heed and follow the amiable Tengku's path and give us a reason to feel proud to be Malaysians again !( read one of my early post ?...here )

Cheers Malaysia !

The day the music died...........!

It is a sad day indeed ! Read all about it here , here, here and here ! Many questions need to be answered without pretence ! Sad day indeed ..........................sigh !

"I stand erected.....eerh...corrected"!- rocky

Ohhhhhhh....is this 22 year old girl's back-revealing blouse giving you a "hard-on"?....or is the blouse "encouraging immoral activity" thoughts in you or is she "exposing too much of her body" that you can feel the bulge ??

At least that's how JAIP-Jabatan Agama Islam Perak- (and damn, I'm a Perakian too !) Director Datuk Jamry Suri is feeling right now...!!

Our religious custodians of high moral have again attested to being morons with this latest raid, conducted in Ipoh, on this poor singer, Siti Noor Idayu (pic.) who has been singing at a popular entertainment outlet.

You have to read the full story here by Star and NST and draw your own conclusions folks !

I seriously think my good Raja Muda of Perak, His Royal Highness, Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah, quickly step in and stop this "wanton judgement passing" by these self-appointed "saints". Chill JAIP....this is 2007 and correct me if I'm wrong, and with all due respect, is this the "dark age of Islam"?

I wonder what "thoughts" runs through the empty heads of these "saintly fellows" in JAIP when at home, they look at their own children, mothers or sisters...? Sheeesh !

"smoke on the water...fire in the sky.."

Yes.......I grew up high, early in my life, with that song by Deep Purple, but did you know the meaning of the lyrics related to the act of taking marijuana ?

Today we here in Malaysia have legalised the mode and equipment needed to actually partake, minus the ganja or marijuana or MJ or grass or weed or whateveeer it is known, in street-lingo today, or otherwise fashionably known as shisha or hookah. Of course sisha is smoked with fruit-flavoured tobacco in expensive restuarants all over the city of Kuala Lumpur, and fast catching-up in other cities too. So it is okay to ape the Middle-Easterners and "trying hard" to look rich and important like an 'oil-field owning' sheik or a wealthy camel trader !

And our good Health Minister suddenly realises smoking this sisha can cause cancer, (read here ) leading to death ! sheeeeesh ! Why?....didn't the good doctor know smoking anything or inhaling anything alien is hazardous or detrimental to one's health ? For 'smoke-sake', hookah or sisha has been around for so long here in the big city and only now Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek is aware of its dangers ?

And all these many shisha or hookah joints are legitimate businesses, blessed and approved by the City Council's licensing board.......so...there you go....can't touch them !

Trust me, if only that flavoured tobacco can be subsituted with the illegal stuff, in a dimly lit room filled with aromatic incense burning, soft music from Bidoo Orchestra and plenty of food on the table.........fuuuyoh !......boom-shanker !!!

* I'm hallucinating.......to the beat of Deep Purple in my head......hmmmm...sigh !

Mob justice for this 'sick' demon !

Even as I was commenting on my earlier post about the evils in our society and the unspeakable and perverted attack on an innocent 6 year old girl in Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur, here is yet another "sicko story" in the Malay Mail today, of a missing 5 (FIVE) year old in Jalan Raja Bot, very close to Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur !

Frantic race By MOHD YAAKOB YUSOF

THE family of Suci Rahmadhani Usman is racing against time in search of the five-year-old girl who was abducted in front of their grocery shop in Jalan Raja Bot yesterday afternoon. Their worst fear is the girl could have been abducted by the same man who had molested a six-year- old kindergarten pupil in nearby Kampung Baru last Wednesday.

“We are praying hard she would be released unharmed. The suspect fits the description of the molester and even the modus operandi was similar,” said her father, Usman Abdul Karim, 45.
The suspect had approached Suci, who was playing with her six-year-old cousin, and asked her to help him find a cat.
“She loves cats and was willing to follow him, despite being advised by the cousin not to do so.
“The suspect scolded the cousin and both of them rode away on a motorcycle, ” he said.
The cousin said the man was clad in a black jacket, a white T-shirt and was wearing a black helmet. The cousin managed to get the plate number of the motorcycle and it has been passed on to police.
Usman said he was not at the shop when it happened but his wife, who was in, did not notice the man taking away their daughter, the youngest of five siblings.
She only noticed Suci missing when the cousin rushed into the shop crying and related the incident .

Last night, Suci’s parents with the help of friends and relatives distributed her picture around Chow Kit and Kampung Baru.
Usman said his daughter was wearing a green T-shirt and a pair of orange pants when she was abducted.
“I really hope the cops will find the culprit soon before another innocent girl falls prey to the monster. ” The business fraternity in Chow Kit was equally angry with what had happened.
“The suspect must be caught or else he would continue terrorising other kids,” said Mohd Hussin Lubis, a trader.
“We should not allow the monster to roam free. Why must he pick up little girls? I heard there were two other similar incidents recently and I am afraid to even let my children out unguarded,” he said.
Mohd Hussin, who was helping Usman distribute posters last night, said those living in the area would not rest until the culprit is arrested.
Another trader, who declined to be identified, said the culprit is sick and must be arrested.
“He is causing anxiety among us. Even the public do not feel safe going to Chow Kit as long as he is still free,” he said.
It is learnt police have deployed detectives in the area to look for the kidnapper and the victim.

On Friday, The Malay Mail reported a six-year old girl was abducted and found wandering in a daze about 50m from the scene several hours later.
The girl had related to the mother that she was approached by a man who persuaded her to help look for his cat before she was molested.

Dang Wangi police chief Assistant Commissioner Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman said police are looking for the kidnapper and the girl.
He refused to comment further.

So people, I pray..... I'm sick and tired of hearing such bad news so early in the morning....and GOD , please help find this infant/child safe and fast and that "bucket-of -shit" caught !

As I continue to live in denial and think my country is safe.......sigh !

*the spotted hyena is there again for a personal reason.

*Latest up-date 7.20p.m. (3-7-07)* The little girl has been found. She's still in hospital for a check-up and under observation. Pray she's not been sexually assualted !

Malaysia is sick...!

How sick is Malaysia ?( read here for the sick story !) This is an act even an animal wouldn't think of doing to another specie....and here, we in Malaysia, have to read, hear and bear witness to this on a daily basis ! Think we are getting used to such atrocities as normal occurance, right ?

What went wrong with us ? Was it in our education system ? Was it in our religious system ? Was it in our political system ? Was it in our enforcement system ? Will the persons responsible for all this social break-down, please stand up !

6 years old and scarred for LIFE ! God,my stomach is churning inside-out ! And I beg to God for the healing of my sick country, Malaysia ! Still pretending everything IS safe and okay, here in Malaysia, eerh ? Wake-up fools ! This can happen to your child !

Amen !

**the hyena's back !

Joke of the day-enjoy !

A couple is in bed sleeping when there's a rat-a-tat-tat on the door.The husband rolls over and looks at the clock, and it's half past 3 in the morning.” I’m not getting out of bed at this time," he thinks, and rolls over.

Then, a louder knock follows. So he drags himself out of bed, goes downstairs, opens the door, and there's a man standing there.

It didn't take the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk."Hi there," slurs the stranger, "Can you give me a push?" "No, get lost. It's half past three and I was in bed," says the man as he slams the door.

He goes back up to bed and tell his wife what happened and she says, "That wasn't very nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the baby-sitter and you had to knock on that man's house to get us started again? What would have happened if he'd told us to get lost?""But the guy was drunk," says the husband."It doesn't matter," says the wife.” He needs our help and it would be the Christian thing to help him."

So the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs.He opens the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere, He shouts, "Hey, do you still want a push?"

And he hears a voice cry out, "Yeah, please."

So, still being unable to see the stranger he shouts, "Where are you?" The drunk replies, "Over here, on the swing."

Zainal Abidin Hassan under probe !

Former football 'star' and current Pahang state football team manager, Zainal Abidin Hassan, 44, was involved in a fatal crash at 3 a.m. this morning near Puchong (read here) killing 28 years old, Lim Meng Tee. He says he is "very sorry" to the family of the deceased and admits he did not know about the death but learnt about it from the Malay Mail ! He also denies fleeing from the scene of the accident.......and is under investigation for recklessly driving his BMW and causing the death of the part-time masseur .

I remember many years ago almost about the same time of night..another "juara goalie" who died in a crash along the Federal Highway in Petaling Jaya, fully intoxicated from a "party" he attended...he was Arumugam or more popularly known as "Spiderman".

A few points in the report are not clear to me.....he lost control of his BMW while taking a curve ?Was he intoxicated ? A BMW meh...if driven below 100kph, can loose control errhh ??? Why does he say, he spoke to "several police officers" about the chronology of events and about the "other car" (if indeed there was any! ) that grazed his BMW.Are there any "grazed" markings on his BMW ? He waited at the scene of accident till the ambulance arrived, so why is he denying fleeing the scene?Even the Subang Jaya police chief said it was NOT a hit-and-run case, so...... and his BMW was towed away before the police allowed him to continued his journey to Pahang....now, how he continue his journey is not stated !

And the grieving live-in girlfriend of the deceased is in shock while the Lim family is devastated and accepting his death as faith and will not pursue legal action against Zainal Abidin Hassan. Life goes on......................!

Malaysia, a safe country...bah !....continued.

Whoaa.......this is too much to bear witness anymore, folks ! There I was just an hour ago attending a funeral in SS3, Petaling Jaya, around 2 p.m. today, and there were about 40 people . A friend of the deceased was seated by the roadside, in sad silence, on a "hired" plastic chair, at the edge of the tent closest to the road shoulder, when along came a RXZ motor-bike with 2 mats casually cruising first infront and then took a u-turn, right infront of the house full of mourners and snatched that guys gold chain, which he had worn over a collarless t-shirt !

We , me included, were talking in hushed tones, across the road in a play-ground facing the deceases' home, and were not paying attention to the drama that was unfolding right there in broad daylight with so many people, until someone shouted and just about everyone stood in shocked silence and too amazed to react in any manner.....now such brashfulness can only mean one thing... these bastards have no regard or fear for anyone or do they give a rats piss to the polices' presence.....they know there were no police patrolling around and these 2 low-lifes rode off happily....and to affirm that suspicion, true enough, as I was driving back through SS2 I saw a patrol car, parked by the road-side and 2 cops (God knows how long they had been there !) having "teh-tarik" and "roti canai" at the neighbourhood mamak stall .....sheeeesh... !!!!....this scene is a recurring "deja-vu"......for me !

And here I read in the NST of the abduction and rape of a 18 year old by bogus cops in KB, not Kota Baru but Kapala Batas, home of our beloved PM, and yet again of a missing 22 year old, bio-med student travelling to Klang in her Kancil, in rockybru...Please tell me people, please, if I am wrong to say this country is in deep shit as far as security by police and police safety is concerned ?? Or am I being paranoid and being unnecessarily judgemental of our security and police personnel ??

Why are we always told to be responsible for our own safety by our leaders instead of them kicking some arses of the authorities responsible to take care of security and giving us tax-paying citizens a renewed sense of security in our own country ? Increase the police force ! Don't waste good money on foolhardy projects that only benefit a few ! Do we need to march to a MB's house everytime we want to be heard and action to be taken ? Pretty soon there will be a bunch of "wannabe bogus cops" headed towards JB to make a living there, right? With so many new police engaged to patrol the streets of JB.......it will be easy pickings for these bogus cops too !!

Do we now spend millions more and send "mat-rempits" to the North Pole, or perhaps make the largest flag to be on displayed on the snows of the North Pole for a select few to view, if the snow does not cover it first !! OR do we spend much much more in expanding the security forces like the police to make me feel safe so I can stop blogging ?? Over to you people......as far as I am concerned....my life (yours too...yes ,yes you too !) means nothing to anyone but statistics in a report by the powers-that-be to justify their expenditure in their annual returns.....PERIOD !

Is Malaysia really safe and crime-free...?

So the police are finally taking steps to curb the alarmingly high crime rate in Johor Baru ! (read here ) Have you not wondered why it always has to be a last resort "thinggy" with the public getting "pissed-off" with the situation and having to protest in front of the Chief Minister's house before any action is seemed to be taken ?

Now read this very contradicting report by Bernama . Yes, the good Director-General of Tourism Malaysia is right.....yes, when you want to compare statistics with a far away country....but look here, Mr. Director-General sir, stop this hogwash, I don't live in Italy and stop trying to keep only the tourists' safe...they did not vote you in, I am a citizen of this here country and I need to be SAFE in my own country,PERIOD !

We would never have had to come to this grave crime situation not just in Johor Baru but the whole country, had there been a good system properly implemented by the powers-that-be in the first place !

Let's not just squarely put the responsibilty on the police alone but on all government agencies who are vested with the 'divine power' to prevent such occurances like the Immigration department and city or local council enforcement personnel. And here I'm not just talking about snatch thefts, but all social ills , drugs, rape, house break-ins, road-bullies, armed robbery, murders, child abuse and battered domestic violence......and all this will stop if the primary question of corruption is addressed honestly !

Now..............people, am I being labelled "unpatriotic" ?..... You decide !

The "ugly side" of Redang...

For all the beauty of Redang which I personally think is a world-class ranking island resort for a perfect break-away and for divers and snorkellers , I must commend the operators of the many private-owned chalets, guest-houses and resorts sprouting with "visit Malaysia Year" and the increased influx of tourists from as far away as France and Singapore, just to come and enjoy our breath-taking coral world under-sea....there is sadness within me to say the least,as in my observation in the total lack of conscience or understanding in two very important and key factors of the tourism board of Terengganu ! This was our 2nd. trip to Redang Island !

First is the journey ( if you are not flying direct by Berjaya Air !) for lesser beings like me who have to drive all the way to Terengganu, and then to reach the island by high-powered speedboats...well...here is the sickening part, I had to actually demand from the pilot of the boat at the jetty before departure, for life-jackets be given out to all 25 of us , and with a dirty a look and mumbling curses under his breath, the boat operator reluctantly handed them out to us...and he sarcastically insist I use one(for he thought I was out to create trouble !) which he had pulled out from god-knows-where and which was also soaking wet ! Can you imagine ,me all dry and neatly dressed in my beach-shorts and "pagoda" t-shirt...and so early in the morning too ! After securing the life-jackets on almost all, especially the kids, our terror ride began....you could see the nervous look on all parents holding on tightly to their kids or wifes'..... and not much was said by anyone (guess they were contempleting the different ways to strangle/maime or even kill the pilot of the boat, should anything 'unpleasant' happen !) during the, close to an hour's ride, to the island when I also noticed a sign beside the pilot's seat..."untuk 12 penumpang sahaja"!.... although the sea was not so choppy this morning..... I shuddered to imagine this ride during the rainy season... but wait...hey,...we still have to endure the return journey, right ? Ohh... man...I gotta stay sober, then, sheesh...sigh !

Now if only the moron of a pilot HAD insisted on all to wear life-jackets immediately upon setting foot on the jetty, without me demanding for one.....guess, that can be answered only when a tragedy happens, right !!..... does anyone give a damn for safety ? Surely not the boat operators nor the officials from the state government to make it mandatory....so the morons in the respective enforcement agencies...Think Safety First !

And the second sad and unforgivable sight was at the Terengganu state-government- run "maritime park"......(my apologies for the "not sharp" photos - actually was taken hurriedly with my wife's cell-phone camera !) but the message is clear people.....gross over-crowding !!

Man, oh man... it is pathetic to say that there were way too many people at any one time...I could easily count at least 600-700 people from all the different resorts(different coloured life-jackets...see the private owned resorts insists their guest conform to rules and wear the jackets at all times out to sea !) nearby converging in a patch of sea not larger then a football field !! And nobody is issued a receipt as each person is charged RM5.00 cash only, on the way to this "park" by the boat operator, so to actually say there WERE indeed that many people is a fallacy...probably the government servants manning the booth are in cahoots with the resort operators !(anyway who cares if they make a little on the side ? Seriously do you ??)

Now if they, the Terengganu state-government-run officials and the Tourism Board or otherwise collectively known as morons-(can't help coining Pasquale's favorite phrase here-very appropriate !! ) can structure a time-table for all resort operators to send their guests at different times during the day and ban all snorkellers from wearing flippers or beach-shoes and not lump all of the holiday-makers at the same time,in this one place, now that would be nice , right ? Respect Nature, it is God's gift to us...lets not screw it up like we do to ourselves !

I beg of all Malaysians, please show a lot of respect to the wonderful coral creation and all life-forms under the sea that is ours to appreciate..... it won't be long before they vanish completely, judging by the way, especially our local tourists, are clamouring with their snorkeling equipment and I even saw in disbelief one dumb-bugger wearing flippers, standing on a huge coral and gestering to his friends to view, with goggles, at his feat ! Sheeeesh !

*My apologies for these bad photos, thats the best I could do, sorry !

Wish you were here !...(to quote..pink floyd)

getting acquainted with Inshara from Singapore...

here's the best part of the holiday...

Ahhhhh..........lo..behold...this magnificent sight !

Looking to the left...just as loveeely...!

My lovely "brown sugar"

another picture perfect snorkelling site off Redang...

see the bottle of vodka ?

Hmmm...glorious...heavenly...Redang !...Wish you were her...eeerrh... sigh.....here !!!

*Next posting with bare some ugly truth....sigh...hate to do it, but the truth must be known.....!

"just when I thought it was safe to go for a holiday...!"

This must surely have been the most eventful 4 days (6th. - 9th June 2007) in my absence, since I was getting soaked in the sun, snorkelling in a picture perfect coralled sea and pure bliss of a holiday where any time is a perfect time to have a beer or vodka or whiskey or more beer, in Pualu Redang off Trengganu, with the family and with no access to the internet, papers, radio or television (except for the occassional sms on my cell phone !!)

My...oh.....my...now reality......hmmm, so much of news to take in, do I have to take all this so early on a Sunday morning...yes, and grudgingly and slowly...I read in rockybru about yet another a "toupeed" moron doing a Brendan, the murder of Proton, all "organised crime" roads leading to Putrajaya, the lame excuses by the A-G regarding our so-called "sacred" courts, ministers shopping in Kathmandu, more crap out of the 4th. floor clowns and of course the highlight of the year, our beloved "love-struck" PM who wedded a "janda" yesterday and Kamal's( from the 4 floor,of course !) warning to our media editors !.... and all this in just 4 days !!

And the above news itself, folks, is enough to screw-up my almost blissfull and glorious holiday so... as right now I have put off writing about Redang... I'll save it for another post... sigh !

Good to be back anyways !.....and hope you had as good a holiday as I did, Cheers !

Farewell Loga-R.I.P. !

Farewell Loga, of the Alleycats fame, who died this morning at 10.50 a.m., age 54. (read here )

You had truely entertained us for as long as I can remember... and thank you for the music, brother !

And to David and Shan, and the rest of the family, my family conveys our deepest condolences for the loss of a great talent and person....Cheers Loga..wherever you are !!

Char Kuat...anyone ??

So whats the big deal about masseuses earning more then fresh graduates... huh ? If one is honestly willing to work hard at it and earn that extra dollar, why not ? In the Malay Mail (here) it was reported that "masseuses" earned big bucks working on a few 'mak datins' in innocent looking massage parlours, located in busy parts of the town and right under the policeman's nose !( folks I'm sorry to say that this is a bloody lie...that the cops DON'T know the existence of these parlours ???....gimme a break !! )

Now how would this Muslim Consumers Association official, who also tipped-off this paper, know about "urut batin" being 'just masturbation'...I wonder ! If there is a demand for the said type of massage then there has to be an equal if not better supply of it too, right ?...and not because it involves a particular race ... but all immoral activities (as deemed by some "holier-than-thou" parties ! ) must be curbed irrespective of the race and nationality of the persons involved.

Breeding of such activities are never encouraged in any society so....what are the authorities actually doing about it ?...once in a while make a few arrests and look good in prime-time news and photo shoots huh ?....it has been business as usual for these rogues who operate these "illegal" parlours, so book them, haul them to court, charge them and seal the place up !

But this does not happen.... see , 'got tight connections' mah, with the top brass and under world and a few datos too !!!

Me, I do my 'charity' once in a while and when I can afford it...for a hour in a clean and cold room, soft piped-in music, stripped to my under-wear and with the lights totally out.........hmmmm... with my favourite masseur Donny, at the Oriental Massage and Reflexology Centre in Brickfields, and I think that's a damn decent and honest proffession and also secretly hope Donny earns more than fresh graduates !

*by the way, Donny, from Sabah, is blind and needs to make a living so....but curiously enough , I've never been offered this "Urut Batin".... I wonder why ??? because Donny knows, when he hears my voice that I actually came to sleep and snore, within a few minutes of lying down, as he sat at the edge of the bed and worked hard on the soles of my feet !!!

Thank you Donny !
