sex lure

Sex lure at salons and eateries20 Jul 2006

TUMPAT: A number of beauty salons and restaurants here are enjoying brisk business.However, it has nothing to do with the latest David Beckham hairdo or an exceptionally innovative menu.Instead, customers are being offered call-girls who meet them at nearby budget hotels or at their homes. It is believed the sex trade moved here early this year from the border town of Rantau Panjang in Pasir Mas following raids by religious and law enforcement authorities. "Most of the people involved are Thais who moved their operations to Tumpat after the authorities disrupted their activities in Rantau Panjang. So we are now concentrating enforcement activities on the Tumpat district," State Local Government, Housing and Health Committee chairman Takiyuddin Hassan said.Residents in the district became aware of the activities in at least 10 beauty salons and restaurants in a number of villages, including Kampung Jubakar and Kampung Bunuhan, when they spotted customers leaving the establishments with female workers. A police source said the migration of sex workers began last year after the unrest in southern Thailand drastically reduced the number of Malaysians crossing the border for illicit sex.District police chief Superintendent Nor Azizan Anan said police are monitoring the areas that are suspected of b

eing fronts for the sex trade. (reported in nst 20/7/06)

This is nothing new. The sex trade is considered the oldest profession in the world. It is easy money to be made for those men or women who needed it. Maybe sex variance which the homely partner can't give. Or perhaps (mostly guys) need some sparks in their love lives but can't find it at home. Look at the married women....growing fat and nagging alot...and the guys growing bald headed and in need of some boost in their lives but can't find it at home. So they pay for young women to entertain them. They claim these young women boost their sex lives. I think both parties should work it out 24/7. They can't claim they are old, no energy to participate, headaches, backaches, bone aches, broken tooth, wringle faces or brittle bones..holding hands, embrace each other, smile and talk...it is much easy than trying to tap the energy for something that can't be had for long. In Penang there was this joint which allowed men to touch female breasts and private parts for $15 for 10 minutes. I was told then it was popular with the old men..In Johore Baru somewhere around JB Merlin there was this joint too offering similar treats to the old guys. As they say ada duit macam macam bolih dapat....Lastly I heard about the "toll girls" offering I think the same kind of treatment or sometimes more intimate to the lorry drivers or any car driver who needed company on the lonely stretch of roads..One time long ago in Mersing there was a den off the main road of Mersing where the lorry drivers paid $50 for one hour session in the deep bushes.( Of course the police smashed it up after a few months of investigations )

I personally feel no one can make this sex trade disappear. It is a good money making machine. As long as the money is the motivation, the women will go all out to make it from the men.

Malaysia....struggling with the traffic systems!

article 11 Federal Constitution

Stop the forums Article 11 forums to discuss inter-faith issues must stop immediately because they are deemed to cause tension in our multi-religious society, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said. He also called on the media to carry out its responsibility not to stir up anger and tension among the masses. the front page report from The Star In a civilised society which practises democracy all closed door meetings/forums should be allowed. The people of the country should be open minded and not protest without understanding the issues involved. The majority race shouldnt feel threatened. It is best that they too participate in the forums. A religion shouldnt be a closed affair. You want to spread the wings of a religion you should be brave enough to withstand the discussions. Apparently in Malaysia this discussion can't be carried out because the majority race feels it is the right enshrined in the Constitution. History has shown it is with the agreement of the previous leaders of each race that this Constitution came about. I believe the forums are used to discuss intelligently bearing in mind the sensitivity of the other races in the country. As long as it remains closed doors, it should be allowed. I think nobody should protest about it. I can't understand why the Malays so against it. Have they forgotten the input of the other races of the country? Independence achieved on the strength of unity of all the races in the country. This is what it would be. But I am afraid the majority race is trying to impose its own ways and values to other races which I think it shouldnt be. We are not a race. We are Malaysians. I guess I am one of those who think this way.... Malaysia....where are the values for Malaysians?

parenting

Parents should be held accountable on their children behaviour outside their homes. They can't allow the police to monitor their children activities. As parents they should pay close attention of their children activities in schools and outside schools. The police is correct in pointing out the responsibilities of parents managing their children. All students in secondary schools should be held responsible by their parents for misbehaving in classes or outside homes. Police claimed many crimes were committed by these young adults. I have read reports and seen some pictures of these young adults behaving in their groups. I think the current hot pictures could be Dato K's eldest son. His pictures seemed to be floating in the internet...There could be something to tell the public about the behaviour of the young adults. Monitor them. Dont let tragedy strikes in the family (like the royal tragedy where the son killed his mother purposely high on drug) So I think parents or guardians should pay heed to the police advice before tragedy befalls on them


Malaysia.....too many laws but have no bites. Why? Tak cukup pegawai2....

royal tragedy in pahang

Royal tragedy Sultan in grief: Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang weeping for his half-sister Tengku Datuk Puteri Kamariah Sultan Abu Bakar (inset) who was stabbed to death in her house in Kuantan on Monday. Sultan of Pahang cried when he got news that his sister was murdered by her own son. It was reported he was high on drugs. I am sure the parents knew about their son habits. They didnt want it to be known that they had failed in their parenting to mould their son to be upright and responsible person. Drugs took care of him. He went for something that makes every one feeling miserable and sorrowful eventually. This is the dilemma of parents. When a child is grown and released to mix with the crowd, it is hope he made his right choices in life. Drugs shouldnt be in his vocabulary. But in the bad crowd, nobody is safe. My view have changed in my years. Drugs at one time I thought it was associated with the poor guys who wanted to make a quick buck in the rich world. Now it never holds true anymore. It crosses the borderless world of the rich and the poor. It makes no difference in its crawling kill. It can happen to anybody - educated or uneducated. The evil walks with a smile and a gold bar to say 'Hi!' May God bless their souls!

drive safely

This is the message I got it in the Star. It may help those crazy drivers to note the fine and points deducted; and hopefully in this way there will be less accidents on the roads

Drive safely as for this consequences

Demerit Point system : Let's say you have 0 point on 1st January 2005, and you committed the offence of Failing to Put on Seat Belt. So now, you will have 3 demerit points and this will last for 1 Year. If during this 1 year you have no demerit points offence at all, your 3 demerit points will be gone on 1/1/2006. But, if during this one year, From 1/1/2005- 1/1/2006, you committed another offence with demerit points, your very first offence will be extended for another year until 1/1/2007.

hani mohsin dies

KUALA LUMPUR: Actor Hani Mohsin Hanafi (pic), 43, collapsed and died at the low-cost carrier terminal in Sepang at 9.30am while waiting to board a flight to Alor Setar on Tuesday.

Mohsin was traveling with his nine-year-old daughter Hani Karmila -- from his previous marriage to Datin Seri Tiara Jacquelina -- when he complained of chest pains before collapsing.

Hani Karmila immediately called her mother, who rushed to the airport with husband Datuk Seri Effendi Norwawi.

Mohsin's remains have been brought to hospital for an autopsy.

Mohsin was the host of popular TV game show Roda Impian before his death.

newspaper report from The STar

Death walks every where

No one knows when is the time

Dont think you are young

You could dance all night

Do what you can

Play what you know

Enjoy the minutes

Death walks the door

come walk with me

The silence
Listening intently
The call from nowhere

The carefree days
In the mood to listen
Of call he knows
A reporter asks
‘How are you?’

The work boils him down
He has no time to indulge
His favorite game
He loses it all
‘I am now the Prime Minister
I can’t do what I do before’

“Come walk with me” he says
“Share your whisper I do what I can”
The people got hook
Now dangling up in the air

The Pied Piper is he?
People gone blindly
“Give him time to settle”
“He knows what he is doing”

The years had gone
Endon too gone away
How long he has to settle down?
Before the light shines in the sky

He has to make a quick decision
Staying cool all the time
He makes it look worst than before
Indecisiveness boils the soup
It becomes too hot to handle
See what he is doing?
He tries to listen
The soft approach that he is


“Come share with me
The fears, dreams and fantasy”
The PM listens intently
Forgetting where he is

maid contract 2

If deductions are done without the approval of the department, employers can be fined up to RM10,000 as provided for under Section 99A of the Employment Act 1955,” he said.
With the contract, Indonesian maids can now take grievances against employers to the Labour Court, where employers are liable to a fine and jail if they do not abide by the contract
Even if deductions were allowed, they should not be over 50% of the monthly salary and the necessary receipts must be presented to the department,'' he told The Star.
It is best to get a savings account without an ATM card and for the employer to keep the savings book in a safe place to prevent maids from running away,” he said, adding that the account would give the maids some privilege to withdraw their money anytime but with the employer’s approval.

“Employers need not engage third parties, including lawyers, to draft the contract,” he said, adding that sample contract of employment forms were available.
Ismail said the forms plus additional information on the new ruling could be obtained at the Labour Department here and at all the 38 district-level departments in the peninsula.

mycard

Now the government relaxes its ruling on Mycard You can photostat a copy and keep it with you. You need to tell/inform your relatives where you keep the original Mycard But as always something will crop up. The classic rule 'Saya tak menerima arahan.....' so you decide when youwalk out of the house. Original or pirate? I dont want to go to any hassle with the government officers - especially the Police officers - I think they book you first and put you in the lock up until your relative(s) produce your original copy of your Mycard. What happen you are out station? My guess you have to spend a day or two in lock up. The lock up is a filty place with many people crowded together. The PM should visit these lock ups regularly. It is under his portfolio. I dont think he steps in to see. He is currently so busy promoting his 9th Malaysia Plan forgetting what happen to the 8th Malaysia Plan...As the opposition party uses to say 'sweep underneath the carpet'

Government relaxes ruling on MyKad Photocopies OK: Malaysians can now carry a photocopy of their MyKad for initial identification purposes. Deputy Home Affairs Minister Datuk Tan Chai Ho said this was an option for those who feared losing the document or being stolen, especially by snatch thieves.

Malaysia....when you are a nobody, every one doesnt know you. When you are poor, you can't get recognition. But you have a chance to fight for your respect and position..

one in a million

I saw the programme One In A Million last Friday. All the contestants in my humble view shouldnt be in that programme. One million to give away....we have contestants who couldnt claim to hit the jackpot. In fact it shouldnt be held at all. They arent deserving ones to compete. Why pick the first place at all? To me there must be something unique amongst the contestants to vie for the prize. Voice ordinary, dressing terrible, showmanship nothing to shout about, diction average....I should think the bench mark will be on Jac Victor - the 1st Malaysian Idol. One has to measure up on this bench mark and from there I will see the improvements in the music industry. As it is now I think it will be an average one....It doesnt really excite me...maybe it is the whole package...the show music should draw the crowd at home...No it doesnt ring

Malaysia....where are the real singers gone?

OSA on the bridge - nothing new

Dr M returns. About 1000 supporters came to welcome him in Subang Airport. I feel Dr M still has something to contribute. Yet the current administration is trying to black him out in the main stream media. For a former prime minister he should be given allowances to speak what he knows for the country. I know Dr M has his own good and bad points so are many people. No one is ever perfect; no one shouldnt try to be one. You can't be no matter how hard you try. I pity those who try to be a perfectionist; it destroys the fabric of one existence. Most people who read the news in the internet had known what the government declassified documents on the aborted bridge project was old news. Singapore had released it. Dr M during his tenure too had done it. So what Abdullah Ahmad Badawi doing? He couldn't reply to his former boss because he just couldnt stomach the indept questions from Dr M. Long time ago I told friends AAB isnt the right choice to lead the country. I couldnt understand Dr M choice then. Perhaps the trade off wasnt in fruition which resulted in friction between the leaders. Will Dr M remains in the shadow? I am afraid Dr M will continue to blast his appointed successor......and those surrounding the current pm.

Malaysia...always many shows to see

the prime minister

Dr M controlled the country with his policies and laws. He did it 'My Way' I subscribe to the view that no country should have 100% democracy. It wouldnt work to develop the country. A country can achieve something like 90:10. The people still have the right to exercise it every 4 0r 5 years to elect their party of choice to form the government. This the people should take cognizance of and make full use to say what they want. Currently we gave the mandate to the ruling BN helmed by UMNO and its president. Now UMNO(Baru) becomes cocky and the leaders dont consult the other coalition partners. These UMNO leaders make their own choices without thinking straight of the other coalition partners. Like the case of "Ethnic Relation Textbook" for the undergraduates. The Higher Education Minister should have read it and consulted his coalition partners before he allowed it to the university to teach. The university concerned said that the guidelines would remain to the lecturers. He has to make concrete efforts that the VCs should not allowed to subscribe their views on the lecturers to teach what these VCs desired or the group of committee established to foster racial disharmony(read racial harmony) for the purpose to endorse the Malay agenda on the other races. Nazri said it is seditious. I think he is right....but will the police investigate why it happens? I dont think so. Now the controversial textbook had been withdrawn.....It has become clear that the majority race wants to impose their wills on the minority. They forget that our forebears fought for independence with one solid voice and strength not on race but as "Malayans" Now we should say ourselves as "Malaysians" but we haven't come to that. We still hear the race tag branding in our media, talk shows, textbooks, speeches......We are MALAYSIANS!!!! We are not a race!!!
It has become more aggressive on the political beliefs that a race should conquer other races...I am afraid this will cause the downfall for any party or its leaders thinking on racial lines. Every cake must be distributed fairly on merits. Right now we dont see it. Dr M controlled and implemented it then. Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the current PM, continues the same direction with a soft approach. But he misses his point in his Islam Hadhari. Islam is Islam say what variation you wanted. It is still on the Holy Quran and the prominent views of followers/scholars. Now the laws passed in Dr M administration come to haunt him. He can't reach the rakyat because of OSA...and the media blackout on him by PM cronies. Even Star doesnt publish his comments alot. Only pick and choose what to publish. Dr M realizes that his laws has become disadvantage to him as an ordinary citizen. "What's go up must come down"
AAB hasnt done what he sat out to do. He doesnt have the people to push for him on projects because the 'yes men' only think he is warming up the seat for Najib. AAB took too long to comment on his son-in-law Khairy. He couldnt mend the damages done. The perception in KL and Dr M hold true. Khairy is one of those people running behind the government. They have something to gain here which they wanted it. Same way with Dr M cronies but Dr M controlled these people. In the end Dr M could implement projects for the people but when the rakyat looked around we have to pay more for most of our living expenses...toll charges, water bills, wastage funding on projects, lack of freedom of speech....Likewise with AAB no grand mega projects yet but we have to pay on petrol hike, toll charges, electricity hike, water bill hike...Now AAB rolled out part of his 9th Malaysia Plan projects. He announced it after he returned from Australia with his family 0f 880 projects worth $15 billion.

When he touched down in the airport, no UMNO leaders including his deputy were there to greet him. It was reported only MCA leaders with other UMNO grassroot supporters. People talked about the absent UMNO leaders....Something is brewing and he has to act fast now. I think Khairy will bring his downfall. He has to make his own damage control. He may issue it too late "Khairy is not my advisor" What both have in common beside Khairy marrying his daughter? Politics. Khairy is the deputy president of UMNO Youth. The future leaders for the country......

Malaysia many things can happen...macam macam bolih jadi

passport

Passport in 2 hours! This is great! So people dont have to wait like crazy as what was happening before. Now there is a good flow in the immigration department. The pilot project in Langkawi proved successful. Now it will be implemented in Malacca as one stop agency. People can now visit Malacca and get their documents done as well. The foreign missions are in London, New York and Singapore which incidentally was the first foreign mission to issue passport within 2 hours. Of course the government must install the latest computerised gadgets to give this type of services. Currently I think they are half past six punya. Machines ada orang mahir tak ada...like in Langkawi hospital where the expensive medical equipments are left to rot in the store kerana tak ada orang mahir menggunanya. Jadi on paper beautifully written for it. Sad really! Likewise I hope the government won't simply spend just because it is in X plan.

ideal world just a dream

Nobody can live in an ideal world. It is just impossible to make it happen. Even when you live alone, you can't get it. So I think it is just a dream. Like reading story books. One can play the game and know how it will end. No hurting; no loneliness; no frustrations; no disappointments; no quarelling; no see death....it is just in the mind which one can use it to play around...Reality itself works differently. Co-existence. It is very difficult to make it work. Different perception, many views and even religion nobody can agree....every one says his/her is the best..In the end majority will hinder progress of the minority. The superpowers will make the rules of engagement. The big man will tell the small man what to do or behave. See the irony of the our problems. Nobody wants peace and solitude. In wars money to make; in death more money to make, in destroying ourselves again more money to harvest, and I think it is a cycle kept going by itself. God is playing His games...to enrich His mind...We are the soldiers battling out on the field....sacrifice in the name of Lord and we will be free! We are hooked in our minds our souls our bodies....


Malaysia.....so many races but not one race called Malaysian...pity really!!!

government development plans

$15 billion for 880 projects. Tenders will be called soon. Now the 9th Malaysia Plan is gearing to go. Why so slow? When one plans for developments, everything must be in place. Every detail which place which state what costs will be identified. In this case they took a year to wrap up the plans but the projects must wait from the other ministries to submit. Why plan half way at all? Now the country planned developments are in the region of $200 billion for the next 5 years. As I see it, the developments won't be completed. PM says he will monitor it. I think he should go and beef up the delivery systems in the government departments. The groundwork must be on firm ground. I think he won't get it done. Though the IRB says it can collect taxes up to $60 billion for this year which will be enough to defray the costs of 880 projects, the government should plan ahead now. The internal funding will be sufficient for the next 5 years. But I think PM can complete 50% of it before his term expires and he will use it as the election gimmick for his next election.

Malaysia...good in planning bad in execution

problems everyday you can't run away

Problems at work; problems at home and problems on relationships, you cant run away. Even doing nothing too has its own problems. Like boredom. Like no friends. Like no contact - a hermit. Like social grading zero. So the problems are every where. You breath it. You smell it. You cry over it. You act on it. Today's problems let it stays. Dont bring into tomorrow unless it is absolutely important to do so. One like relationship. It can't solve in a day. It may go on for months yet the answer seems so faraway....The problems we see or hear every day running into these headings - man, woman, relationships, money, work, children, socialization, family, friends..Most of the times these are the problems made the scenes. It makes alot of miseries and heartaches and headaches too. Yet people survive to breathe and share their experiences but people still never want to learn. The same story keeps repeating with different people and background. The gist of the problems are the same melting pot of soup - tasty, hot and burning.
When problems come to your door, you make it known to close friends and relatives. Write it down and stare at it. You dont have to do anything yet. Just digest it in your mind. Play it or act it in your mind. See what reactions you have or what you can do. This exercise will help you stay focus for any eventuality. When it really happens, you know where to look. You have been there in your mind. So you aren't alone. You know your way. Of course if you want to cry, let it out. It is no use hiding in a gloomy mind. Let the tears flow man or woman. It makes good feeling. So dont try to hide your emotions; let it out with tears or a scream. You will feel alright after awhile.
When your mind is clear then you can focus your problem(s) at hand. You will find an answer or solution which will ease your mind. Nothing is impossible. Everything can be broken down to pieces and pick one that needs attention immediately and go for it. In this way, you get it done faster and you will find progress in your life.


Malaysia.....past decisions will come to haunt the administration

hiv

The HIV on the rise. Don't the young adults know the consequences of their actions? Every effort has been made to educate the public.Yet the HIV scorn keeps up the rating. The wives or girlfriends are mostly the victims on the their men indiscretions. This is a slow death which nobody wants to get into it. Medicines to cure is virtually nil but there are signs of finding a cure for HIV patients. This is still far off the target. Currently in Malaysia there about 9,000 addictions every day. The latest report came that the tertiary students got it too. Mostly on one night stand business without using the safety precaution(condom) I thought when one is highly educated the consequences will be understood and practised safe sex. Now I know it never holds true at all. When sex rules the mind, nothing will help. It is full steam ahead my man!
So sex education in schools is important. It is better the government plans now then waiting for the disease goes out of control. Passsing laws without education has no purpose at all. When is contracted to HIV, it is for life. Laws serve nothing at all in situation of life and death of one's own choosing. Now God never brings it along in His creation. We bring it upon ourselves by killing all the natural environment. The protection is gone and now we harvest our own follies by destroying the natural blanket designed to protect us..

HIV

The call of lusts

In it the black death

Killing softly with tears

Flowing down in our eyes

HIV

Once you are in

You never get out free

You see yourself

Disappearing in the mirror

HIV

It isnt curry mee

It tastes delicious

It brings you to your knees

When you get up

The dark moon rising

The black death comes a calling

HIV

Dont go without protection

You leave your own trails

The humming tendrils of softly death hole

Claiming yet another soul

HIV

Once contracted

You legally binding

Until the dark clouds cry

The misty vapor of last breath

flowing with the wind

handphone

What do you use handphone for? Look around our surrounding. We see many people - young and old chatting away with their handphones or SMSes especially the young people. And some keep changing handphones to the latest gadgets in the market. Really what do you use handphone for? The trendy wants to show the latest model in his/her possession. Arent we use handphone to talk/communicate? Is it for status? Hey...Ah Kow I got a new one in the market! What's so new Pak Long? I got mine just arrived in the market. Now look at the features! Aru got cheesed off. He couldnt change a new one so he becomes 'backward' in handphone status..It has become a 'must' have mentality. Once I saw in TV ads about a new handphone then. It cost $5,000 to own one. It had the symbol of class in it. Now this handphone became history. It had no value at all...It makes you think why flow with the trend...I am still using my old handphone...the one used in 007 show. I dont want to change because I hardly use it. Once awhile I top up my prepaid but I hardly call anybody....maybe once a while....but I hardly use up my prepaid amount. So I can't change number because I will lose my credit so I keep it as it is...
So now the school children too have handphones. Just listen to them or see what they do...Man they are good at sending SMSes to all their friends.....

Handphone I keep my old one for now...

government of the day

A sports complex in UK? Najib said it would go on inspite of rakyat complaints. It was estimated at $490 million to build. He hasnt come out with his reasons and the costs involved. It is more like a holiday gateway for the officials and minister than actually training the sportsmen/women. What are the games we are planning to excel in it? We can't compete physically with our built. We can only compete on games playing by individuals..table tennis, tennis, squash, badminton, sepak takraw, golf, bowling....Do we need to train in a complex in UK?
We have so many complexes built during the Sukma games in each state and see what happen to these buildings? Commonwealth Games complexes? Most I think are left unused or left to rot. Why do the government hide behind the OSA? It is tax payer's money and the rakyat has a right to know where the money goes to. They are there for the people through election but they forget when they are at the top. These elected MPs and Cabinet ministers forget about their responsibilities and they treat the voters/rakyat as no consequences....only when election times come the rakyat are important to them otherwise the rakyat like you and me have no say at all...
The PM could say it in words (first class facilities 3rd world mentality) but he doesnt do anything really concrete to change the rules of managing....He just knows how to say but doesnt know how to act on it. The way I see it every cabinet minister acts on his own, the government officials drag their own feets, take time to reply or never walk the talk in areas of their responsibilities, the chief ministers busy digging into their positions of power forgetting the state they lead - say one thing does another thing....like PJ signages....the CEO of the state doesnt know about it....just to show how the coordination works from the chief minister down to the ground zero...Every official does what he wants without coordination between other departments. Oh...yes building hospitals to serve the rakyat....Millions spend to build and acquire first class equipments...Know something else? Nobody really knows how to operate these sophisticated machines. They are left idle in the store rooms.....and they always say not enough manpower to cater for the people. It is always the same excuse ringing every year in and out. I wonder when they will stop and do something really concrete to serve -multi-tasking. Maybe they havent heard of the word Perhaps it is new word....

Vote for me! Smile here and there! I promise you this and that! Just vote for me!!!!

It is coming! The election will be arriving to every town and district.....Just vote for me!

Malaysia.....night dreams all the times

redefine rape

Now the advantages for the women. I am thinking on the marriage life. What do the lawmakers think to protect the women only? What makes them think that the Act will not disadvantage the husbands? Will not the wives cry wolf many times? I think the husbands will get all tense up in the marriage beds. Will their wives report marital rapes of something they couldnt get from their husbands? Even the wives can't prove it in court of law, the husbands reputation and creditability have gone to pieces. Will the husbands stay married to the wives after these incidents? My safe bet is paid for sex services if the situation on the marriage bed is really bad. I dont want to face the judge in the court of law of what I conduct my affairs behind close doors with my wife(wives) or girlfriends.....Damn....it has become too stressful even in sexual plays not with the laws hanging over the guys heads. It is suppose to free flow to enjoy the sexual union and now nobody can really says the wives won't report something different....especially if one can't get it from her husband(car or house or watch or holiday or dinner) To me wives have the solid advantage over the husbands. I must be careful now of how I conduct my affairs. So the sexual scenes will be stressful too. In a way I wont know what the women will be thinking. Not good performance in sex file complaint to the police.NO? Force sex..create fear...empty promises...just to receive consent but it can turn the other way round to say.....'my husband makes me do this without my consent or he makes me do this because I fear him' Damn...it is no fun anymore......with sex. I better trade carefully with the opposite sex....maybe I should write it in black and white eh? So that everything is covered in context of the sexual exploits....Then where is the freedom of fun?

Malaysia....education is making good for everybody

traffic summons

Lately the newspapers reported on the traffic summonses of the PM and his Cabinet Ministers. Some dated over 7 years ago! I say walk the talk PM and his Cabinet. On one hand advicing the people to drive carefully and on the other hand they become the speed kings on the road! People want to know why they are not arrested for failing to settle their traffic summonses. Because they are the PM, Deputy PM and Cabinet Ministers. Nobody is above the country's laws and these people shouldnt grant any exception. Walk the talk IGP! Of course I check for my traffic offences but I dont get any. This year I never check again. Perhaps I should go to check. In case somebody uses my name to commit. I never know. Bank loans have been granted to people who are not genuine as claim in their ID cards. Pay extra precaution.....next time I better hop in to the balai and see what is in store for me...Here is the article I picked up on traffic summons committed by the Cabinet members.




VIP traffic summonses: Why no arrest warrants?Sulaiman RejabJul 13, 06 4:02pm


I refer to your exclusive report 18 more ministers among 'elite' speedsters. If one says that selected prosecution does not take place in Malaysia, please laugh. Ministers are getting away with unpaid traffic summonses while the ordinary man is being dragged to the lock-up in the wee hours of the morning. Inspector-General of Police Mohd Bakri Omar must explain the police's failure to arrest the prime minister, the deputy prime minister and other cabinet ministers for not paying their traffic summonses, some dating back to late 1990s. Why the double standard? When the ordinary man, who surely earns much less than these ministers, fails to pay his or her summonses, the police take great pains to go to court and obtain warrants of arrest. If the IGP cannot give a satisfactory answer as to why there are no warrants of arrest against these ministers, who in their hypocritical political speeches and Hari Raya messages advice motorists to drive slowly and carefully, then he should obviously resign for failing in his duties. No doubt that in most cases, it is the ministers' drivers who commit the traffic offence, but while ferrying whom? The deputy prime minister has collected summonses dating back to 1999 and owes the government about RM8,000. And guess what? No warrant of arrest. Works Minister S Samy Vellu, with 143 unpaid summonses, still owes the government RM17,460. He is followed by Foreign Affairs Minister Syed Hamid Albar, who has racked up 121 unpaid summonses totaling RM15,200 over the past seven years. Close on his heels is Human Resources Minister Dr Fong Chan Onn, with a debt of RM15,230 from 115 summonses issued from May 21, 2001 up to April this year.
Entrepreneur and Co-operative Development Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin is said to owe RM12,190 from 93 summonses over a period of seven years. Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had 11 summons, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Sharizat Abdul Jalil had 23 and International Trade and Industry Minister Rafidah Aziz had 10. Youth and Sports Minister Azalina Othman had 28 recorded against her name.

rape

Rape is unlawful sexual intercourse by force with a minor or adult woman. This is the legal view but now there will be amendment or addition rules to define rape in the country. It is for the protection of women in general in exercising their rules in relationships be them as girlfriends or wives or mistresses or concubines. In the civil laws this what would give the women rights to say or defend on the aggressors. On religion of the various races here it can be a torny issue for the husband and wife. Wives should submit to their husbands demands; the husbands should take care of their wives of her needs, desires and shelters and love them as they love themselves.
Yet through the ages evolution of demands changes. Career women have no time for sexual needs or desires. All the energy gear towards work related issues leaving the husbands or boyfriends living in dreams until they take their own actions....forceful sexual intercourse. Now this is a brake for the guys to think before running like crazy dogs in heat.....What about women raping the guys? So far it is always for the women rights and previleges....so no law for the guys?

Here is the reported quoted in the Star in Parliament:-

Thursday July 13, 2006
Redefining the term rape
A BILL to amend the Penal Code to make it an offence for a husband to hurt his wife or put her in fear of death or injury with a view of having sex was tabled in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
Although it stopped short of using the term “marital rape,” the new offence under section 375A was to enable a husband to be jailed a maximum of five years upon conviction.
“We are mindful that the term “marital rape” is against the Syariah law and laws of other religions,” said Home Minister Datuk Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad when tabling Penal Code (Amendment) 2004 and Criminal Procedure Code (Amendment) Bill 2004.
Another amendment seeks to change the definition of rape by defining it via six descriptions, namely:
A man has sex with a woman by force,
A man has sex with a woman without consent,
A man has sex with a woman with consent but the consent was obtained by placing her in fear of death or injury or through misconception,
A man has sex with a woman with consent whereby the consent was only given because she believed she was legally married to him but the man knew that he was not married to her,
A man has sex with a woman with consent but she did not understand its nature and consequences, or
A man has sex with a woman with or without consent when she is under 16 years old.
The Bill also seeks to introduce the offence of aggravated rape – rape which causes injury to the victim or others, rape of a pregnant woman or rape of a woman when the consent is given by using his position of authority – where the offence would be a maximum of 30 years and whipping.
Where rape leads to the death of the victim, the offender could be jailed up to 30 years and be given up to 10 strokes of the rotan.
“This is in consideration of the possibility of the accused not having the intention to cause the death of the raped victim,” Radzi said.

Malaysia moving to plug the holes of the crazy dogs

mycard

The Home Affairs Minister said there is no minimum fine for not bringing Mycard along daily. The maximum fine is still $20,000/- or 3 years in jail or both. In this case the Court will decide the amount to be paid when you are caught without the Mycard in your possession. We elect our government to help and protect us. We dont get that kind of services with our government. We are charged for our follies for electing this present government. The government should check the illegals in the country. Majority are Indonesians and mind you some have PRs and citizenships too. So damn easy to get compared to other races marrying to the locals. This the minister should go and check but no he wants to penalise the rakyat for electing them to office. I will not going to vote BN to power again. I have enough of what they did to Anwar Ibrahim. I did remember during the saga in the court I told my staff then that Anwar wasnt guilty at all. It was a predetermined set up to destroy his political career....Now I could be happy that I was right. Now I hear the penalty on the rakyat for losing or forget to bring their "Mycards" with them. I think we have elected a group of self centred politicians to power. Pity me for being so blind then.....all the BN MPs are 'yes men'

Malaysia......the yes mentality for no argument progress will be good

Mycard

"It's harsh" claimed the headline of the Star newspaper on Mycard. You have to bring your Mycard with you everywhere. You can't keep at home either. The penalty is 3 years in jail and a whopping fine of $20,000/-It is becoming ridiculous in Malaysia (though I still love my country) The authoritites should spend time and efforts to control the influx of illegals into the country and stop the corruption in the ranks whereby the illegals can obtain 'Mycard' so easily. This is important than crucify the citizen of not bringing along 'Mycard' Things that are important should be handled fast and nipped at the bud. I think this is the mentality of the little napoleans running the public administrations. You always hear 'tak cukup orang nak buat kerja' then you hear 'anda salah undang2 olih itu kena bayar' I still like the old plastic ID than Mycard. My own Mycard I had to glue it myself. It frayed! It is not a good workmanship. The company hasnt improved on its delivery system. The Registration Dept will charge me for the simple reason I do not take care of my "Mycard" I keep in the wallet all the times. What to take care? It is the material use that caused it to happen. Don't these people know about it? (Like Najib says "Oh it is news to me" when reporters asked him about Tajuddin suing the government on MAS )

Malaysia...macam2 nak jadi.....saya masuk bilik internet sajalah!

north korea

North Korea fired her missiles in defiance of the World Body. The communist country doesnt kowtow to any super power. They are, I called, the evil Lord - something like Lord Vader. They hide behind the masks to pursue their single pursuit to dominate the world. If you read the scriptures, they are there all the times. Time is waiting for the Beast to unleash his power to the world. US of A has lost her power base in the early 60s. She doesnt recovered her dominance till today. US is a super power but North Korea is a small communist state yet she doesn't flinch she goes ahead to test her missiles. Now the world countries condemned her action. As always the displeasure will disappear by a week. Then everything seems to be the same only the monitoring group of people keep going. These people want to protect Mother Earth's destruction. Will there be a nuclear war? Our time here is running low and time we dont have the luxury to sit and evaluate the consequences of someone's actions. It is time a divine intervention is absolute necessary. There is no other way. The World is coming to an end on 23/12/2012 according to the Maya calculation.

Malaysia....the leaders seem indifference to their own shortfalls.

killing dogs without compassion

The Seremban town council officers shot dead 13 dogs in a terrace house in Seremban. I dont agree the officers carry out their duties. They should advice the owner, cajole him to hand over the dogs but the dogs owner refuse. Prior to the shooting incident, the neighbors had complained about the dogs barking every day. The dogs owner too is at fault. How could he rear over 25 dogs in his terrace house? If he wants to rear dogs or catch stray dogs, he should understand the neighbors' feeling. He can't just do it for the sake that he wanted to help these poor dogs running loose without an owner to take care. First rule of rearing animals (dogs & cats) know your neighbors' feeling. Second the peace in the neighborhood. Third proper hygience and maintenance. Fourth a proper place to rear animals. He failed all the rules. I dont feel sad for him. I feel pity the dogs had to die brutally. The Seremban officers should have compassion for animals but I dont think these people have it. It is no use going praying many times but never practised what one prays for it. It becomes a sinful act to shoot a defenceless animal.Pity. Sad.


Malaysia....a long way to find compassion in people

Dr M bising2

Our PM hiding facts. On the crooked/scenic bridge. Singapore wants sand and air space. So what? We sell we make tons of money. Air space we can control. We dont sell our souls anyway.
This time we shouldnt be so stupid to sell cheap. It should beyond the economic benefits. Now the bridge project was awarded then 3 months later cancelled, it showed how the Abdullah Ahmad Badawi administration runs. It has no focus. Concentrate on agriculture? First ask the graduates..yet we are willing to spend millions to retrain these graduates. Aren't we are stupid here wasting money again? If the government knows that the universitites are ditching out useless papers, why allow it to go on? Because of race! The policy should think of Malaysians not on race! This is the worst social injustice bestowed on the people. Like Hishamuddin welding the KERIS to tell the other races to beware (?) He has become insensitive of other races feeling. Now the bridge should allow to continue. What has Singapore got to lose? Plenty!!! Tourism and port facilities. Economic boom for Johore and the country. It is in this sense that Singapore is building casinoes and theme parks to retain her collection of revenues. It is billions dollars businesses. Here we have our PM cancelled the scenic project. I can visualize it. First every cabinet minister agreed the project is viable and awarded the contract. Then a few months later, they decided it is not good to go on so cancelled the contract. The silly question -Do they know they have to pay millions in compensation? Maybe they dont feel it. After all it is tax payer's money man! Then excuses branded around - it is better to save billions now then paying a paltry sum of millions which was reported something like $100 millions! PM kept quiet allowing his ministers to do the walk..Syed Albar talked on political correctness but not on economic sense. Now Singapore is smiling. They dont worry about the port and tourism facilities. They look at Malaysia read Malays stupid! When are we going to learn? The British bullied us. Japanese slaughtered us. The Communist made holes in our souls. Dont we learn at all? Now we are bullied by Singapore a small city state of over 4 million people. And our PM cakap saja tak tahu nak bikin. Dia harus cerita yang sebenarnya..Dr M memang gila betul! Beliau tidak mahu maruah negara dijatuhkan..sebab itulah Dr M buat bising2 So now I see all the 'yes men/women' defending the PM. I am sure some of these cabinet ministers and chief ministers disagreed with PM silence or the way he handled things in the country. NO....saying yes we get our benefits and positions!


Malaysia......agriculture wont take you to the global economy. You can't survive on it alone. It has to combine with developments - tourism, health care tourism, financial hub....Now it seems silence on the roads

house alarm

My house alarm triggered off somewhere between 8.30am to 12.30pm. I left the house before 8.00am. Everything was fine then. I drove away to stay at the other house. I wasnt aware after that. I only realized the alarm was on when I went to the house after lunch at around 1.00pm. I was surprise and I quickly opened the main door at peeped inside. Everything was there. So I guessed it could be triggered off by the strong wind vibrations or knocking at the neighour house which is currently doing his renovation works. I went around the house. NOthing. It was a false alarm. I will check again around 5.30 pm. I use to park my car inside the car and go for my evening jog or walk. Only at night I switch on the porch light then I go off for my dinner. I only come back around 11.00pm.


Malaysia......too many house break-ins

evading issues

PM gone on leave until 15 July. I thought he should have addressed the critical judgements of Dr Mahathir but he left it to his ministers to reply to their former boss/retired PM. Is he afraid that he couldnt give a good reply? He knows Dr M. Without replying to his former boss he thought he could let the matters rest. He shouldnt do that. He should respond to Dr M and dont listen to his advisors or cronies which will make the matter worse especially on investments in the country and bread and butter issues of the people. Now he runs for his holidays. Nazri had no right to respond with his outburts on Dr M. He has made himself of showing no respect to his former PM and UMNO president. He has shown no gratitude. This is what happening when one allowed free reigns to rule. We can't have absolute freedom here. It can't work to the multi-racial country. As I look at it Abdullah Ahmad Badawi should respond by himself and shut up all his ministers. For not responding direct to Dr M he has made himself lost control of his administration. Dr M was his boss once and I think it is very easy to see Dr M direct. Why evade Dr M?


Malaysia every one wants to get publicity for the wrong way of doing it

shah alam/klang

Tomorrow I am going down to Shah Alam for a night. I will be staying at the Kota Kemuning house near to the golf course. But then I am not a golfing fan. I used to play golf for awhile in the hill resort. My favourite is still jogging. Now I occasionately jog around the housing estate at my current place. Beside I will be driving to Klang too. In all I guess I will finish my errand within 24 hours then I am off driving back to my current place of stay.

i have a job to do

We all have jobs to do. What we want from our PM tell us the truths. He is going around in a bush. Tell us what is happening in the country and don't tell us you are walking with the 9th Malaysia Plan. The truth. The plan for the country, as you are aware, will spin to the 10 or 11 or 12 plans. You should make sure it stops at 9th Malaysia Plan that the projects should be completed or planted to finish in a certain fixed years. Monitoring and delivering system must be put in place otherwise every one will take it easy...Keeping quiet and passing the buck wouldnt work PM. A cool guy must take decisive action to get it done. You arent new in the cabinet so there is no excuse at all though your supporters say otherwise. The next election is about a year away and you needed time to tell us..................sorry PM you aren't have much time just walk the talk and things will be fine.

Let old ministers retire
Let the loud mouth ones too
Let those who want publicity go

To me the home front is pretty quiet. I dont know what is going on in the country. I thought I would know. Now alot have been censored. Internet news help. The official organ news are hiding facts and figures just the minimum to satisfy some but not all. Walk the talk PM


Malaysia.....where are the news?!

BN leaders

Two Barison leaders to retire? Keng Yaik said he would step down next year. He has been saying for a number of years that he wants to retire. This time I think he will step down and pave the way for Tsu Koon to take over the presidency in Gerakan. Samy said he would when the time is right. I think he should follow Keng Yaik and retire next year too. He had already kicked out Subramaniam, his deputy for the last 25 years and he shouldnt say otherwise. I say Subra should make a come back in 2009 for the president post. He will be only 64 years old which I think should be the right time to lead MIC. The current crop of MIC leaders are beholding to Samy.They can't say NO. These crop of leaders shouldnt be around in MIC. They should retire too and let the new team walks the talk. Maika and Telekom shares arent explained in detail on what happen to the shares. So the new leader should shade some light on it. Now Dr Mahathir went on his critical comments on the current government under Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. He must have something to tell the nation. He wont simply open his mouth and say something without knowing the facts. This is Dr Mahathir. I want to know and so are many people in the country. The PM doesnt walk the talk. His supporters and cronies say he has done it. Look around. The police thumb nose at him. The AG takes so long to recommend his view on IPCMC. Mind you he was given a year to do it. But he failed. Awarded the contract for the scenic bridge that cancelled it after 3 months. The issue of AP permits hidden in the closet. No positive answer to the rakyat. How could 2 Malays corner the APs market and make them a tycoon? What reasons they get the APs? Dr Mahathir must be shaking his head in disbelief. Though he admitted he made mistakes during his tenure as PM, he couldn't stomach what Abdullah is doing....he appointed him as his successor. Keng Yaik shadow playing days will be over next year and my bet Samy will stay until 2009. He hasnt finished his agendas for the Indian community...and I dont think he will. He should the cue from the MCA president. He said if you can't finish in 3 terms you never will and let a new person takes over. MCA did the right move by limiting the president term to 9 years. By then the president should have done what he plans for the party and chinese community.

Malaysia.....the non-performing ministers should be allowed to go. It is no use wasting tax payers money on them

subramaniam lost

Subramaniam lost in his bid to retain his deputy president post. All the president's men won in this election. I feel sad for the Indians. There won't be any uplifting for these people. They will be as they are now - receive only the minimum to survive in the National Front. Subramaniam is more likely to get more if he were to be president one day. He is more friendly towards UMNO which is a plus sign for the party. Yet the delegates didnt cast their votes. They dont see beyond the years the president keeps telling the same story - give him to help them. But he does it on his own whims and his own time. Arrogant, combative, doesnt want to follow rules if he can. He tries to evade issues in his aggresssive style. In time the Indians will realize they will lose a capable leader in Subramaniam. He is a party loyalist and the delegates didnt send a clear message to the president. End of the road for Subramaniam. Maybe he should try one last time in the next election.

why stop asking for 60 days maternity?

Shahrizat wants a 60 days maternity leave for married women or single parent. On the onset it is good to tie up with the public sector. In fact most union agreements have a 60 days maternity leave for married women. I think if it changes the Labour Laws then most workers will benefit but currently I see it is with the family runs businesses that does not follow with the unionised workers. These workers work long hours with less pay less benefits. I can understand the view of the owners. Some family run businesses are not doing so well but they need to survive because it is the daily bread and butter for them. Currently the companies or sole enterprises want to survive and people want job to feel a sense of belonging not with those benefits when they can't be employed in the first place. Job opportunities must be there for the people to choose. We hear of unemployed graduates not suitable for job applied or choosy or can't communicate with confidence. And the tax payers need to golf out more money to retrain these graduates. And we forget about those we discontinue their studies after SPM/STPM...not every one can progress to universities. I dont hear of helping out these secondary students. In time these people who will be bad hats in our society if we hold the view that less educated people will cause more troubles in the country..So why fight for 60 days maternity leave when there are many problems affecting the unemployed people? The money to retrain them can be used to set up businesses for these unemployed graduates or secondary school leavers to work with. In the end they will acquire skills to run a business themselveas. Set up a cash crop enterprise where money making is much easier in a short term planning. Set up a few companies for different products and use these graduate skills and labour intensive skills of the secondary school leavers....in this way there is a way for them to learn the tools of a business..

Malaysia.......the ice-cream man calling

siti and dato k

Siti and Dato K is going to get married. The press had rumoured for so long that every one already knew. Siti needed the publicity to boost her record sales. This was a good PR exercise but she shouldn't pick a wrong guy to get married. She has her own finances and I am sure she can pick a better person than Dato K. Last month Dato K was caught with his ex-wife. It was reported in the Star newspaper. He said something his divorce was not final yet so he could sleep with his (ex) wife. A singer shouldnt get married in the 20s. She should get married after 30s. By then these singers/musicians will be matured in her/his personal affairs. I think entertainers should be free of distractions. Likewise if they choose wrong partners their careers will be over. In Malaysia this is what happening. Get married no career. Pick your choice entertainers. Yusry and Erra Fazira married in 20s divorced in 30s Sad episode really after the grand wedding no fairy tales ending after 3 years.

Malaysia....entertainers make life beautiful but their lives in the rocks

samy and pac

Samy didnt show up to PAC. He must have something to hide. This arrogant minister shows no respect to PM and PAC. By now PAC chairman should take up Samy's challenges and refer him to Parliamentary Discipline Committee. The short cut will be for him to leave the cabinet. PM should make a decisive action on his errant minister(s) He should walk his talk. Now we have a few ministers who do not care. They forget they are elected by the people for the people and not for themselves or their cronies. In this public arrogance Samy has to go. He shouldnt be in the cabinet either. A leader must know where to draw the line. He must set an example. He must know his perimeter. He can't act he likes and does as he likes. I am not a supporter of MIC. I support leader(s) who can do a proper job for the country and people. I dont see leaders who will fight for the nation and people. Will the PM take appropriate measures on Samy? He should do it to build up his reputation as a cool guy with an iron heart too. Tomorrow's MIC election I hope the delegates will vote out Samy's elite. These people are there to prop him up and get the projects.....the 1,441 delegates should send a clear signal to Samy that he and his team didnt help the Indians. Too many excuses which finally the Indians suffer. Let Subramaniam gets his chance to lead the party in a year or two. Samy must retire after this election when his team loses it all.

Malaysia ministers who are ineffective must go otherwise sack them

backdoor thieves

Thieves break ins through back doors. Most of the house owners spend alot of money to beef up security of the houses but they forget about the back doors. Normally the back door areas they convert it into modern wet kitchens. They build back doors with steel doors and that about they spend money on it. They dont put extra latches on the back doors. Some put grilled frames on the windows which I think it helps to prevent break-ins but the back doors itself thieves find it easy to break through. If a house has too many doors, it is advisable that the back door should be concrete up - no back door in the wet kitchen area just with windows and grilled frames - which I think will deter the thief to break-in the house. And dont forget to install CCTV in the house. Of course you have to spend a few thousand dollars to feel secured in your own house. Dont pinch on security. Life and valuables are too important to mess it up. Some people never want to learn at all. "Penny saved pound foolish" Look thieves are many. Every one is trying to find easy money. Statistics on drug addicts arent encouraging and many people are jobless...many things can happen. When you read newspapers advertisements, job applicant must have a degree speak a few languages...Tell me what about those who have no degree?
These are the people who would be the potential thieves not that they wanted to but the need to survive. When there is no job available, events can be very emotional. Look at the pregnant woman stealing in the supermarket. When she is caught she would say she has no job but a baby to feed. Can we blame her for stealing? Our conscious couldn't condemn her. Likewise when it happens to our own houses, can we blame the thieves? Or the government? Or the companies?
Or the thieves for becoming lazy and good for nothing? Hardly. It is our own system for not establishing a trust fund to help those in needs. We can contribute $10 a month. Imagine the amount collected in our workforce. It is a good theory which could be made into reality. Don't tell nobody can't give $10 every month?

Malaysia....in you we trust in you our homes flow

kongsi raya

The ulamas dont agree. Religions and celebrations shouldnt mix in the cauldron. It brings fire unnecessary to the people. Is it a pagan celebration? Is it so celebrating on a particular religion? One has to look at overall theme of kongsi raya. This is a celebration of people sharing joy and food and drink throw in some music to enlighten the night. If it brings peace to mankind, then it shouldn't be wrong to celebrate. If it doesnt worship any idol of any kind during the occasion, why should the ulamas interfere. Theology remains as such platform. Involving the like minded people to debate and share views which it can't wash down as the truth. God/Allah has given us enough to last many thousand years to digest what He intends us to do. God/Allah wants peace on mankind. He doesn't want bloodshed or wrong signals to incite hatreds amongst fellow humans. Currently Islam is viewed in a very bad light. All because of the ulamas who dont know the difference of peace and war. Jihad is to improve oneself and on extension to family members and on extension to the community and state then the world. There shouldnt be any life lost in pursued of Jihad. The ulamas called it a different tune...which reminds me of what Jesus(pbuh) said in his ministry 'every wolf in sheep clothing' influencing the people that it is the word of God..When the ulamas have their own agendas, the people should be aware of them. They aren't the prophets neither they are God chosen people.

We have Najib supporting these ulamas. What he was thinking? On one hand he says we are living in the multi-religious background and multi-cultural settings sharing our open houses to show each other hospitality...then he dropped a bombshell on kongsi raya. So when PM said kongsi raya would go on, I pity Najib for not reading the sentiments of the people. Will he become a good PM one day? The way he is conducting himself I guess he will find it hard to become one. He has to remember Malaysia is not for the Malays. Currently the Malays are the majority race in the country but Malaysia is not theirs alone!! I just don't like them to say fighting for the race....what about the other races in the country? The way they always say I think it will be a long way to call ourselves truly MALAYSIAN

MALAYSIA is for all Malaysians!!

MPPJ

Selangor will have another city status in Petaling Jaya this June. It shouldnt declare anymore city status. It has become a norm that eventually every town will become a city. It should tell the people that a 'city status' carries weight and rules and regulations including laws are properly done and benefitted the city dwellers. It isn't good just to change the name and the poor delivery system is the tired old horse. Basically the funding will increase in a city status category likewise property taxes and levy too will change in tandem with a city status. I see that nothing really will change in Petaling Jaya. You just wake up 'Wah...city already!' Anything new for PJ?

Now Appac will file report against MPPJ for misappropriation of money by its Sports and Cultural Club. And a memorandum was sent to its president advicing him not to sign on the privatised bill board advertising to a consortium of 3 companies. The little napoleans will not care what the people in PJ are going to do. They are the 'Lord' over the people and they dont take views from the people. They know it is tax payer money they are spending and they laugh at the people 'You can't do anything to us!' People perception have changed. They want better quality services and healthy environement to live. The officials responsible for taking care of the areas should be proactive and listen to people grouses. The MPPJ president too must talk the walk. He shouldnt sit in the office all the times. He should walk around PJ and see for himself what is happening in his district. If it is too hot, he could do it at night. He shouldnt think of 8-4 cycle. He should spend hours on his turf. This is his responsibility which he couldnt delegate to his officers. He has to know. To me he can do it every month which I dont think it is difficult as part of his working routine.


Malaysia....has too many little napoleans!

student molesters

I read today's newspaper on student molesters in school. This wasnt a new thing in school. It had gone for many years that students are not well behaved in schools. The Education Ministry and school boards new about indiscipline amongst students. So when this new item hit in the newspaper, I thought the authorities never put plans into action. Long time ago it was the gangs in schools. I doubt they had brought it under control except now the schools kept it within its compounds. A few years ago I read a school teacher caught 2 form six students had sex in the lab. What happened after that it wasnt saying anything. Every time when I read about molesting and raping the authorities are quick to point to pornography or materials related to sex. Aren't we all engaged in sex in our lives? It is the upbringing in the homes and in schools. One can see thousand of those shows, read books or magazines it doesnt mean one will become a sex maniac attacking the females or vice versa.....It boils down to our behaviour and thinking. It doesnt do with what one sees or reads. To me it is too hollow to pin the blame on these sexual crimes. Read it in history. It happens in ancient times without all these candid materials in circulation. It boils down to one's reach in maturity and parents and teachers who take part in the children's development. I am wondering when the authority is going to introduce sex education in schools. Are they too shy to teach? When I was in secondary school, my scout teacher used to talk to us about sex and copulation. When I looked back at least we got a basic grounding through our scout master. I met him many years ago and he related this story to me. My junior in school got married. He couldnt perform his sexual obligation to his wife. This former student called the scout master telling him his problem. Because the scout master opened up to his students. So this was how he could teach them about sex eventhough the guy just got married. He adviced him to masturbate before having sex with his wife. It worked perfectly! The next morning he called his former teacher to thank him for his advice. Even adults are facing problems in sex education. It is high time this subject should be taught in schools.

Now on this current case, no parent should blame the school. No school principle should hide from the fact that it did happen. Advice must be tampered with sincerity. We can't make them an anti-social misfit which will become worst for the general public. Tell them the truth of their actions and make them aware of what they do is wrong without consent. Face the truth. Face the fact. Everything will be fine eventually.


Malaysia.....a great place to stay with some hiccups in our midst

PAC - show your fangs

Works Ministry Minister irked by the tactics of PAC. This body is elected by MPs themselves to check and find out what happenings or goings in the government ministries. Here we have a minister shooting stars at PAC. He is part of the MPs elected by the people. So he should answer the questions pose by PAC. The minister was combative and arrogant. I should believe PAC should take him to the MP's Committee to view his case. And the PM should have taken note of his Cabinet members. I dont need a minister who is uncooperate and abusive to the PAC. He is on tax payers payroll and elected by the people for the people not for him or his people or anybody else. The PAC has a job to do. And all ministers should attend meetings when they are called to answer on the projects or moneys spend or allocation or projects delayed...

We have a cool PM but I think he can't make a positive response until he studies all reports....And in the meantime his little napoleans will create havoc in his administration. Doesnt he know it by now?

Malaysia......sack your minister(s) who can't explain or who refuse to explain or ignore people's wishes for information

MIC election 3

MIC election heated up. As far as I know there is no party president campaigned so hard to vote out his deputy. In the bygone days of political fallout in MCA, Gerakan and UMNO, I didnt find the party president fought so hard to vote out his deputy. Only in MIC I find the party president always going out to kill off his deputy. He did try so many times but he failed in his attempt. Now he is going all out to make sure his deputy is out of the party. He always says he needs more time to help the Indians. He is already there for over 2 decades yet he couldnt finish what he wants to help the Indians. He doesnt want to go. He wants to be on top though he has served his time. He isnt helping the Indians. He is helping his own people to prosper at the expense of the Indian people in general. Many professionals dont like him. I talked to one police officer who said MIC president should go a long time ago. He shouldnt be around. He couldnt help the Indians even if he stays until he is 100 years old. What I read in the newspapers this time his deputy would have a tough time to sail through. But in the wisdon of 1,441 delegates in the assembly I believe he will survive with a majority of 246 votes. This will signal the president that his time is up and he has to go out in retirement. Let the new man takes his flight. His preferred choice Palanivel claimed it is time to change....I think he should have guts to say time to change the MIC committee not only a deputy president because he is contesting as a candidate. This politician never has the gut to say becauses of losing out position and values in the post. Subramaniam always back up by UMNO(new) during the term of Dr Mahathir. Since the latter had retired, MIC president mounted his heated campaigns to oust his deputy. Because he felt this time he has his golden chance to kill off his deputy once and for all.

The election falls on 24/6/06

shoot the dogs who cares?

Sukma sodomy charges quashed by Courts of Appeal. Ordered a retrial for him. Sukma had maintained all along that he was forced to write his sodomy activities by the police. Now that he has his retrial.....I will wait for the outcome of his case. I always say that cooked up cases will not last in the test of time. Somehow new evidence will suffice to renew or review the cases filed against the defendants. Now, perhaps Dr Mahathir willl be summoned as a witness in this trial.

In the city rumours were going around that Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will sack Dr Mahathir from UMNO. I dont quite believe the rational if this happens. Abdullah should show gratitude to the man who helped him back to main stream of UMNO politics. Now it is time for revenge....not only for him but also Razaleigh and Musa Hitam?? The bitter memory of yesteryears still haunt these leaders. Politics has no enemy or friend. It's relationship never lasts long.

In the Federal Court appeal of death sentence, the Supreme Court upheld the Appeals Court decision on the death sentence of a murder case. However, the man had died in prison from a fall. Why merit that sentence again? Can't the Federal Court say the man has died and so there is no decision to be made? Because laws must be followed? Man's laws can't stand the test of time...because the foundation is weak which is used to serve those in powers....the weak will pay.

Finally I hear old women to gamble with the World Cup fever. What they know about football? I guess gambling has no rules....but it is a pity that these old women should indulge into this habit. Today I heard someone won his bet on football of over $15,000/- and he didnt go to work. He was celebrating his winning...


Malaysia......still out of sugar!

someone watching my house

My house is still unoccupied. It is going for some final touches. The concrete fencing upgraded with additional concrete bars to block0ut cats from entering to the garden to shit. It is also to prevent thieves from climbing over the concrete fence. Lately my neighour informed me that a group of people are watching my house at night. It starts around 9-10pm each night. My neighbour told me these are not good people. I am on alert. My new house has alot of new things displaying around. I haven't done much to put in the correct settings. Although I have put up grilled doors on the main door and windows and CCTV around the house, I shouldnt feel over confident that thieves will ignore my house. Because whole day it is left empty. Now at night I go to sleep there. Afterall all air-conditioned units put up and mattresses and divans had arrived. Now I need to put up curtains which will be sometimes though. I ran out of curtain rings. My kitchen half completed because the man keeps giving excuses....so currently I dont have a clue yet. When this is done, the plumber has to finish his work. He needs to adjust the auto gate mechanism too. He can do many things. After which I must call back the painters to retouch the house and the concret wall to paint. The final run will be the LCD TVs, home theatre system, kitchen utensils, glasses, plates, cups, blenders...whatever...I am not shifting my goods in my other house. It will remain there always. Day time I will go back there or in case relatives or friends need to stay over....Now I have to play detective to watch who are these guys watching my house. My detective told me two days that he stopped two Indonesian guys torch lighting my house. He told them to go because they told him they were working as security guards..I know there is an Indian guy who provides private security services around the neighbourhood at night...I havent contacted him for his services. So I should be aware of the Indonesian guys....because most crimes here are committed by them( sorry I dont have the numbers only what happened to my relatives)

Now at night I go sleep in my new house. Day time in my old house. In between surfing the net. What a day for me! Feeling the freedom only if I dont break any law of the country

Malaysia....the best country in the world for me!

answers Mr Prime Minister

Dr M asked for answers from the current administration. I too want to know what is happening in the country. The 9th Malaysia Plan launched and it is so quiet now. I think they are studying how to go about it. Thinking about 10th Malaysia Plan...and the little napoleans nibbling on the cake....many sweetness to taste the good life..When will the PM visit Immigration Dept again? Beginning there was much publicity made on the spot announcements then quiet down. What about IRB? Very efficient in collecting taxes from the companies and taxpayers, fine here find there but come to refund IRB is dragging its feet. The PM shouldnt extend the contract of the current director general. He should get someone new to head the department. The double railway tracks suddenly no news about the project. Even the bridge project in Johore was cancelled after awarding the contract. It makes me wonder the grip of running the country is by whom....Now the country has to pay compensation worth over $100million. It is the way he conducted the affairs of the country? The PM wants report to study then more reports to read...he has to make decisions a quick one too. People need the confidence in his administration. So when Dr M hit back at the administration every cabinet minister came to defend the PM. These ministers should wake up and see. Dr M was their boss 3 years ago now retired. So he should know what he is talking about. I believe a good leader will leave behind enough funds for the projects initiated in his time. There shouldnt be none at all. These cabinet members including the current PM were Dr M's ministers then. They participated on these projects and were aware of the costs involved. They should read the cabinet minutes..Now we had seen everything had gone up - toll charges, petrol hike, electricity hike and water hike. Now I have to hike myself to the sky.....

Some admire the PM for his silence but I think he dares not say. His advisors will spin a different story...It is over for me. He should have launched his campaigns and pulled in the results within 2 years. Now he has lost his credibility. He should retire some of the ministers.

It just show how ungrateful some of these ministers are. At one time they were reporting to Dr M and now they asked him to shut up. I prefer Dr M to speak out so that I can learn what's wrong hitting the country. No one is perfect but answers must be given. It shouldnt hide behind the publicity campaigns to pull wool over our eyes.

Answers Mr Prime Minister!

Malaysia....you are sleeping soundly through the night. World Cup fever grips the nation...until then there is nothing but football!

stop hillslopes developments

The PM knows of asking report. This is what he did. The latest tragedy in Ulu Klang he did the same thing.Write report! I dont think I want report neither is the people affected by the tragedy. The people require appropriate measures to haul up the parties responsible for the tragedy. Dont MPAJ learn already? The president of MPAJ should be removed from his chair. What he said during the dialogues with the reporters showed he has no ikling what he said. Lives lost. He should open his eyes to see. No development on hillslopes. In 1993 Highland Towers rocked the nation. Yet MPAJ was cleared off negligence. The Federal Court should fine and send the officers to jail. These officers shouldnt hide behind a piece of legislation absolving them of liability. In this case I want to be in their shoes. Why not? Bolih cari makan lagi. I remember a former Army Chief house collapsed around the area under MPAJ. It was on a hillslope. Abdullah administration has no direction to lead the country. The 9th Plan will not get going. His little napoleans will create layers of nuisance which will delay the projects. Because the PM says there will 10th, 11th or 12th plan....This tells me he has no direction for the nation. He has to stay focus of doing his job. If projects need to get it done in 5 years, he should get it complete in 5 years!

No wonder our former PM Tun Dr Mahathir got cheesed off with the current PM. I agreed with Dr Mahathir that promises make should be made to fruition. This is the gentleman's agreement..it doesnt need to write it down. The word is the honour. Otherwise one has committed a serious sin. Last year he gave the promise that the IPCMC will be implemented by 31/5/06. The AG would study the report and forward his views/recommendations to the Cabinet. You know what? The AG is still studying it after one year. Priority never in these people vocabulary. Sorry I feel this is what I think. Report and report.....when will it end?


Malaysia.....give these people some medicines so they can pop their heads!

mic election

June 24,2006 D-day for Subra. Palanivel got 185 nominations Subra 2. He is the current deputy president of MIC. Palanivel is the vice president. Samy wants Palanivel to be his deputy. In announcing his dream team, Samy becomes the campaign manager for Palanivel. The president decides his nominated people and henceforth the 1,441 delegates do not have to vote. Why travel to KL to vote when Samy decides who should be with him not the delegates? I hope the delegates vote in Subra signaling to Samy that he has to go. He is 70 years old. Why can't he let a younger person runs MIC? What read through the many letters many Indian professionals never have a thing for Samy. As a result MIC dwindles in the eyes of National Front Partners. Last time Samy nominated Dr SS Subramaniam then the vice president of MIC to contest against Datuk Subramaniam but Dr Subramaniam lost in his bid although strongly supported by Samy. So in this connection I hope history will repeat again. Let Subramaniam retains his post as deputy president of MIC signaling the end of Samy. High time he retires with Tun Ling and Dr Mahathir...Samy can't help the Indians.He has to let someone takes over to run MIC.

A good leader must know the time to go. Samy never does. So in the end the Indians will lose again in the economic cake of the country.

Currrently the government officers are demolishing illegal temples in Selangor. Palanivel as the Selangor chief never go out to help. Every one is quiet. What happen to champion for the Indians?

Malaysia.....every leader talks and talks and forget to retire!

relgious faith

Once a Muslim always a Muslim. This is the law of the country. Like the Socso, once a member always a member no matter what position one holds in the company; he/she has to contribute to Socso. Nobody can run away from it. A Muslim - man or woman - can't change religion to suit marriage. It is the other party would have to convert. Period. Otherwise there is no binding marriage in the eyes of the syariah law. Even the High Court is reluctant to make any ruling on religious faith especially on Islam. There is a case pending in the High Court regarding a Muslim woman who wanted to become Christian. In fact she had denounced her Islamic faith and embraced Christianity. No doubt the Federal Constitution guarantees religious freedom to all the people, in reality it is different altogether. Other religious faiths have no laws to bide them. They can change any time they feel the need to change without the hassle of religious officers ticking them or charge them in syariah court. Ayah Pin is another religious cult who had disappeared since the authority clamped him down for spreading falsehood in his sermons. His community is pursued by the religious officers and some are brought to court to answer charges......for establishing a religion against the tenets of Islamic teachings. Islam is a peaceful religion yet the way it has been said, it has become a battle cry to commit sin for the wrong reasons to suit certain leaders' ambitions.

Why God create so many religions? If not Him, then who makes it many? At one time we all speak in one tongue then God changed it to many languages (Holy Bible) Through Muhammad(pbuh) He sent the Arabic language to His people.....another language of so many in the market. It is His way to test the market? To me He is trying to confuse His people but the aim is the same to richly rewarded for doing good deeds...

Malaysia- the official religion is Islam whereas other religious faiths are allowed to practise freely without any sanction from the authority in each state

losses through thefts

Utility companies lost over $74million on thefts of wiring cables and other products. Every year these companies claimed that they lost a few millions through theft. The question is why these companies never installed CCTV in their premises and employed guards to patrol the premises. As what the Pas Government in Kelantan says the party wanted to audit the TNB management for increasing the electricity hike of 12% on 1/6/06. Aren't we, as the tax-payers paid for the losses of these companies? TNB for example always declared making profit over $1billion and yet the company wants to hike its rates citing the burden of $30billion loans. Now why borrowed so much money and yet causing frequent breakdowns? As one former TNB officer said it was outright wastages of funds and wrong management people sitting on the company. IWK another GLC of the government which was a failure in the privitization project and the Federal Government had to bailed it out. I think the bosses of these companies arent walking the talk. They are working in the offices fogetting about field audit of the many offices/branches in the country and employing many deadwood who just bleed every penny in the company's coffers. These CEOs should routinely audit the staff throughout the country. In doing so I believe they can reduce wastage and know the real problems affecting the companies. Walk the roads where you find the answers to all the losses running to millions..

Malaysia.....always very charitable until our pockets turn dry...

time sharing blues

Time sharing concept for business. Just beware how you are approached. The sales agents will pitch it until you pay for it. Promises of many things but in the end empty cans only. Money gone a taste of sour in the mouth. Crying serves no purpose. Loss of income and adventures. Some companies rent hotel rooms to sell be it 5 star hotels or 3 star hotels. Name it they sell it to you. The news coverage by NST told how many people were short changed in buying time sharing business. Every purchaser has a 10 days cooling off period but how many really get their monies back? It is so difficult to get your refund. (Same with our IRB for excess tax payments. Write letters, personal visits many times and yet promises here and there and no refund!) You can still see the sales agents promoting this time sharing concept in the supermarkets. Printed beautiful brochures and enticing sales pitches to entice the would be customers. I say watch out and study it in your leisure time until you are satisfied with the promotions and the company. Every company will say it is belonging to an Association and so it is concrete evidence it is not a fly by night operations. On the safe side dont let go of your money yet. Study the company. It helps you to make a firm decision then. Even some hotel groups have joined in the band wagon to promote their own resorts on time sharing basis. At least these hotel groups you can find them easily....but the rest I think you should walk with caution.

Malaysia......has many interesting tourist spots why go for time sharing?

economy of the country

The PM said that the economy would be at 6%. It is good for the country if the government is honest and transparent. Giving out statistics doesnt show that the country has sustained the cushion of any external attacks on her economy. I always view statistics with caution because it never tells you the real term in dollar and sense. Say the business improved by % over the same period last year. But if you study the figures, it shows a jump of say $20,000 which by itself is insignificant. Actually it doesnt improve on the strength of the company fundamentals. Likewise in our country economy one should study in monetary values to picture the gains of her economy. If you read in the newspapers, banks will auction 400 properties in June in KL. Likewise in the motorcar industry, finance companies are auctioning motor vehicles worth over $1billion to the public. So in a sense I dont quite believe in numbers in %. It should be in real terms pegged against the current trend happening in the sectors. Even in Penang many houseowners surrendered their properties to the banks for failure to service their housing loans. I also saw in Perak abandoned properties. Some were sitting there for over 10 years...

Let it be fair. We wish the economy is really improving for the benefits of the nation and her people. Sometimes political speech should be excercise with extreme caution. They always say different things everyday. Think hard for a minute. Our pockets are full of small change owing to the hikes of toll, petrol and electricity. Economy improved? I wonder at this stage.

the match makers

A Pennsylavia woman sued a pricey match maker and won US2 million. Will it happen here for the match makers? Bad dates and or wrong persons delivered. On the surface these match makers claimed they are professionals in their area of work. On this assumption they should screen and select the best candidates for dates to their clients. There shouldnt be second best or 3rd best suitors. Because you pay for a service and as such the dating agency should provide the best for you. I know nothing of the match makers here. I only see it advertise in newspapers or internet. Will the people sue them for wrong dates or wrong profiles on their dates? I know of suing broken promise to marry or broke off engagement but of dates I am in total darkness here. Perhaps Asians have not come to the stage as yet. Maybe with this case in USA, it may trigger a similar awareness amongst the people who use dating services to procure life partners or friendship. In the dating game so many make believe scenarios to woo the potential dates. Just walk on the rope with extra caution. You never know at the end of the line...

Malaysia.....the goodness you make us live

neighbors what's gone wrong?

The Avian flu worries the WHO in Indonesia. The agenda seemed to fall on the deaf ears of the local councils to protect the people. It was reported there are 450 district councils and the power rested in these officials to do something positive in fighting Avian flu(bird flu) Now with the disaster in Yogjakarta, the measures needed to confine the advance of Avian flu will take a back step towards containment of the deadly virus. Malaysia government should be on alert at all times. We are neighbors across the Straits of Malacca where the migration of birds are easily sighted into our shores. Currently there is no news about latest development of bird flu in the country. By tomorrow we can sigh a sense of release. The government will declare we are free of bird flu but with the latest developments in Indonesia we should practise caution with live birds.

And there is another 'bird flu' menace in our country. The police force reluctant to accept the concept of IPCMC to regulate its operations. In other words these police top brass are afraid of losing their control of power. I dont think IPCMC is taking away its power base. The police force is to protect the nation and her people. It is not established to push the agendas of the political master at all or to serve their own interests. They are the civil servants paid through the tax-payers coffer and as such they shouldnt feel threatened in accepting the IPCMC. The way these officers posted in their website is tantamount to challenging the government who pays for their services through the tax-payers' money. I rather the police force should be rationale and be more professional discharging their duties delegated to them by the government elected by the people. Follow the rules and the laws. For those who can't accept it, they should resign. They dont have the interest of the nation and her people in their hearts and minds. Why remain? Every time a person leaves or resigns, there is somebody to come forward to replace. It is the natural law of replacement. You dont like your job yet somebody will...

Malaysia......your kindness people forget....
