Somebody is going to get a hurt.

This Motherland of mind simply fascinates me. There is nothing wrong with the land. The land is blessed by God with whatever we need but some people in this land is simply mind boggling.

Lets take the recent leaked report case. We could see smoke coming out from the nostrils of the coppers. They said that this is an attempt at sabotage. They can take action against the hospital and those involved in the leak.

Wow! Mr. Policeman why so fierce one. Take it easy man. Take a seat, have a cup of coffee and maybe a smoke. Now take a deep breath. Breathe in, breathe out. Yes, thats the way.

Are you feeling better now Mr. Policeman? Okay one more deep breath. Fill your lungs till you feel like its going to burst. If you burst it, it would be better. Now hold it, hold, hold, hold, hold and out.

Okay now that you are feeling better maybe you could answer a few questions. Don't tell me you are not used to answering questions?

I know you are mad because it is supposed to be an official document and now it is leaked, but why so angry?

Aren't you interested at all in the contents of the leaked report? I have not heard any single one of you say anything to show that you are interested in the contents.

All I hear is that, it is illegal, it is wrong and it is against the law to do this. Yes, the action maybe wrong but do have a look at the contents.

Who knows, maybe the person who leaked it, thought all of you have forgotten about this particular report and that he/she is trying to help you to remember something?

Who knows even God is fed up with all that is happening and He got someone to leak this out. Hey, you can't be going around getting angry at God you know. Its not going to be favourable to you in the afterlife if you know what I mean. Oh, one more thing, are you trully afraid of God?

Hmm, that figures.

Anyway, just curious. Wonder how Pak Lah would look like if UMNO and OAS merged and he becomes the Spiritual leader of PASUMNO? Got this from AlHusseyn.

Crawl.

I have not been updating regularly simply for one reason. I can't seem to be able to get into blogger. I find something strange has been going on. I could quite easily get into MalaysianInsider, MalaysiaToday and MalaysiaKini which were sites that used to give me headaches but not blogger.

I had to wait for countless minutes to get into my own blog or for that matter any blog under the blogger umbrella. Wordpress was not that tough. Hmm, I wonder why.

I would believe that its my PC thats causing this crawl but even my friends laptop found it difficult. Now this is puzzling. Anyone has any idea?

I am so uased to firefox but when firefox made me wait for a lifetime I tried Explorer and it got a little bit better but still its almost dial-up speed.

Then I remembered I once downloaded the Opera browser and tried it and it got a little bit better but with a download speed of between under 1Kb and 5Kb, its still slow. This is a rare occasion where I got to get in reasonably easily. I do not know how long it will take to publish. I guess I just got to try to find out.

If I had not left any comments on blogs that I usually don't miss, I hope this post explains it all. Maybe after this, I got to get this thing reformatted and if it still persists after that then I will prove my fears right. What is my fear? Somebody has been doing something to slow things up.

Well anyway, I just read somewhere that Singapore, our neighbour, the one that our Government said sells fuel at much higher cost than us has brought down the price by 10 cents a litre.

Thats interesting because I know of late the price of crude has been hovering under US129. If I am not wrong, the government said that, the price of our fuel now would follow the market price so its time for it to come down here too but still no announcements.

Well I am going to publish this and hope that it won't take me till the next election to see it up. Cheerio, have a nice day.

Please your honour, a little bit only, please, please.

Prosecutor: Your honour, we are unable to get fresh samples to ascertain the DNA of the accused so we are applying for the court to order the accused to provide us with samples of his blood, semen and pubic hair.

Judge: Why don't you just swab the inside of his mouth? Why do you need blood, semen and pubic hairs for?

Prosecutor: Er, er, I don't know about that, the IGP and the AG asked me to ask for it and they said that your honour would surely approve?

Judge: Oh, they said that did they? Who do they think I am? That Hacks judge? Why are they ordering you? Aren't they supposed to be disqualified from handling this case? Why do you need the DNA profile for? You still have samples from 1998 don't you?

Prosecutor: If your honour had read the papers, even the Prime Minister had asked the accused to provide the samples. He said that the old samples are spoilt.

Judge: Is the PM the IO? Is he the prosecuting officer. What powers does he has to demand for it? Is he a party to anything here?

Prosecutor: Why your honour, he is the Prime Minister.

Judge: So? Has he been sodomised too? And what do you mean the old samples are spoilt? Young man, do you know anything about DNA? Do you still have the old samples?

Prosecutor: We had some old samples but not enough. Some of it were taken to smear the victim's uhm, er, ..... I mean some of it got lost in transit while taken to the lab.

Judge: I like the first part better.

Prosecutor: What first part?

Judge: The smearing part?

Prosecutor: Oh, that part. I got my scripts wrong. The smear was supposed to be, they are trying to smear the name of the TPM.

Judge: And what have that got to do with the accused DNA?

Prosecutor: Nothing your honour.

Judge: So why is it in your script?

Prosecutor: I mean, it's not in my written script your honour, it is in my head for future use but somehow I got confused.

Judge: Hmm, interesting. What about the data base from the old case. I am sure you have them stored somewhere safely don't you?

Prosecutor: We did ask the police for the data 3 weeks ago but last week they informed us that a hacker had hacked into the police system and destroyed them.

Judge: Hmm, I have not read anything about it before. Do you have a police report about this new development?

Prosecutor: Yes Your Honour, here.

Judge: It was dated yesterday. The police only made the report yesterday?

Prosecutor: Huh! What? Let me see it. Er, er, ...... it could be a typo your honour.

Judge: Aren't dates supposed to be very important in any reports?

Prosecutor: Yes Your Honour, they are.

Judge: Then why the mistakes? What are you trying to do? Do you really have a case against the accused?

Prosecutor: Your Honour, I am not feeling very well, could your give me an adjournment, please?

Judge: You want to continue in the afternoon?

Prosecutor: No, an indefinte adjournment please. I think I am going to be sick for a very long time.

Judge: Yes, I do think so myself. One month to settle all this mess and come back prepared.

Prosecutor: Oh, Your Honour, what about the samples?

Judge: Nope, prove why I must order for it to be given.

Prosecutor: Please your honour, a little bit only, please, please.

All Perdana owners are bloody rich people.

Oh, oh, somebody is going to get into hot soup and I bet it is not going to be somebody very big.

Read this which I got here.

To those who are too lazy to go there below is the juicy part that I think could open up your eyes a bit, not that it is not already open but the sheer absurdity surely would.

Dalam satu senarai kos senggaraan yang dikeluarkan petang ini,
kereta Perdana V6 Executive yang pernah digunakan oleh bekas Menteri
Besar Terengganu, Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh mencatatkan kos tertinggi
senggaraan.

Dalam tempoh empat tahun antara 2004 dan 2008, kereta Idris disenggarakan dengan kos RM235,123.08.

Sementara itu, di Putrajaya, seorang lagi pegawai kanan BPR
menyifatkan ‘ada sesuatu yang tidak kena’ dengan kos penyenggaraan
kereta Proton Perdana V6 Executive kerajaan Terengganu itu.

How do you feel? Well I went dizzy for a while when I saw those figures. Considering those figures were quoted by BPR officers, it means that they are into it.

Now lets look into this objectively. Of course that Idris fellow is going to say, he just sent his car for maintenance and do not actually know how much is being charged. he would then say, maybe the Financial Controller would be able to help.

The Financial Controller would say that he signs hundreds of cheques a day and that all cheques sent to him have been vetted by officers from his departments against invoices sent to them and were found to be done according to procedures. He would say it is not the job of his officers to query to the amount. As long as all paper work is properly done, they would approve it.

The Financial Controller would then ask the BPR boys to see the Pegawai in charge of repairs and maintenance who probably is on leave for about a month. After the month's leave is over the Pegawai would come out with a story saying that, he only authorises repairs. He is not involved in setting up the price. He would go on to say that that kind of pricing is standard ever since he started working and so seeing that amount did not surprise him so he signed it.

The Pegawai would then ask the BPR to see the workshop concerned. Upon arrival at the workshop the BPR would learn that it has been closed and that the owner is now selling belacan in Zimbabwe.

The BPR would then go back to their boss and the conversation may might sound something like this,

Boss: What, you can't get an indictment? I have been reported in the papers and and tv that we would get to the bottom of this. If I were to say that we could not gather enough evidence, what do you think the people are going to say?

BPR: But really boss, the workshop is closed.

Boss: Do you know who it belongs too, doesn't matter if he is in Timbuktu or Lagos.

BPR: Yes, we have investigated and it belonged to an UMNO Bahagian bigshot's sister-in-law. Actually we think we know where she is hiding. Do you want us to get her?

Boss: Are crazy? Do you want me to lose my job? Now lets see, we can't get the MB or former MB, the PM would do a Saiful on me if we were to do it.

BPR: We can always frame the controller sir.

Boss: That is why you are only an officer and I am your boss. You talk through your arse. The controller knows too many shady deals involving many other bigshots. If we get him he would spill the beans and I would surely be transferred to the fisheries department in charge of buying ice blocks.

BPR: Then the Pegawai in charge of repairs?

Boss: He too knows too much. Talk to the driver. Tell him that we would charge him. I'll talk to the prosecutors to present a weak case and he would be acquitted. He would be suspended but his welfare be taken care of for life.

God have mercy on us

Kuala Lumpur, July 23 - The government is on the verge of forming a
council of economic advisors to help it come up with strategies to face
the triple threat of a slowing global economy, rising fuel prices and
inflation.

This move is a sure sign Malaysians are in for tougher
economic times and also acknowledges that the Cabinet and senior
government officials do not have all the answers to cushion the effects
of the expected global recession.

The last time the government
sought the expertise of the private sector and foreigners was in 1997
when the National Economic Action Council was set up to tackle effects
of the Asian Financial Crisis.

The above is taken from Malaysian Insider. No I am not going to talk about the Malaysian Insider because I have my suspicions about the leanings of those people there but what is written is certainly quite frightening.

This is an admission that things are not rosy and that help is needed and needed yesterday.

Of course the Cabinet and senior officials do not have the answers because this time around things are real bad and couple with the fact that we have numbskulls running the country.

What is it that makes things so bad this time around? Okay the uncertainty of the political scenario is one. What contributes to the uncertainty then? Don't blame it all on the oppositions threat to take over the government and the Anwar cases and also the C4 connection. These are part of the problem.

The main problem is that no bloody minister has been working since about a month before elections. Ever since the elections no clear cut policy is introduce to face the troubled times ahead. Only certain patch work here and there are implemented because the ministers are plainly too busy politicking.

All UMNO ministers are simply too busy vying for a post in the Supreme Council. All money that they hoarded during the last elections are now out to ensure that they get to continue filling their present seats in the Supreme Council.

Those without a seat are working double hard to get one. To do this they have to go down to the branches to ensure that they get enough people to support their division candidates. Lots of money there considering each division consists of a few hundred branches.

Then they must ensure that the division meetings elect only those friendly to them as Perwakilans and this time the amount is bigger. There are about 200 divisions spread all over the country so how do one expect them to be in the office to work?

There are certain things that these economic advisors, that they intend to enlist, know would work but would rather not suggest because they know the government would not adopt these suggestions. These are suggestions on cutting back on non critical and non strategic expensive projects and also to plug leaks which certainly are aplenty.

These projects and leaks are the only way for those people up there to get the dough to recoup the investment they made to get themselves into the Supreme Council in the first place. Of course they would be the odd tens of millions if not hundreds of millions extra to make it worth the effort.

Another suggestion would be the doing away of APs to make it possible for anyone to import anything to make business more competitive. When there is fair competition, the consumers always gain but then again these would mean that present AP holders, who know nothing about business, would face the unfamiliar prospect of competition, something that they do not have the acumen for. After all they have been thriving all this while because of the monopoly they enjoy from the strict control of APs.

Only those connected high up or those willing to spend absurd amount for a cup of coffee would get those APs and enjoy the monopoly that comes with the them. With monopoly, pricing is definitely based on whims rather than on competitiveness and efficiency.

Of course there would be some other strategies that would help both in the long run and short run but then I am not an economist. I write on only what I feel as a layman they should do. The bottom line is that they must be honest.

Would they for once in their greedy life think about the nation and the people? If they are willing to do this then free the advisors to suggest anything logical. Oh by the way, get experts to act as advisors, not politicians please. Otherwise God have mercy on us.

Ya ALLAH, please shower your blessings on her.

A friend, a fellow blogger is now fighting the battle of her life. Yesterday, her birthday, she learnt from the doctors that there indeed is a relapse of her breast cancer only this time it has spread to her liver, ribs, collarbones and cheekbone.

Doc, alerted me yesterday morning that it was her birthday and so I sent her a birthday message. A few hours later I was greeted with the dreaded reply that she is again fighting for her life.

I can't bring myself to write more about her but I dare say, she is one gritty lady. If you do not know who she is please go here and read and you will know what kind of a lady she is.

Most importantly I would like to invite the readers of my blog to offer prayers of a speedy recovery for her. Please, I beg you.

Hey Proton, the Terengganu MB says you suck.

Below is The Terengganu MB's explanation as to why they need to buy Mercs rather than Perdanas as reported here

“Please understand that the Proton Perdanas go through continuous
long-distance journeys. It’s costing us a lot of money due to high cost
of maintenance.

“We are not saying that the national car is not
good but in reality we are coughing up more money for maintaining the
Proton Perdanas, particularly the gear boxes,” he said.

Ahmad
cited the example of the Proton Perdana of state Commerce, Industry and
Environment committee chairman Toh Chin Yaw, which has twice undergone
expensive repairs costing RM50,000 within 36 months.

“In the long run, Mercedes cars are cheaper to maintain and could also save us fuel costs.

There is a Malay saying "Menegak benang yang basah" or loosely translated to erect wet thread. No, no viagra could do it just as no amount of stupid arguments by the Terengganu MB could persuade the people to buy his story.

50K in 36 months? I know of many people who drive Perdana V6s and they travel alot and none of them have to spend 50K or even half that amount since buying them years ago so why is it that that Terengganu Exco's Perdana had to undergo such repairs? Has he been stealing logs in the Terengganu jungles and using his Perdana to haul them out of the jungle?

Many other states are also using Perdanas but we sure haven't heard maintenance being a problem there? Instead of buying Mercs, perhaps the MB should have a look at his workshop people. Are they fleecing the people with exhorbitant repair charges? Are the officers in the Terengganu government working with these workshops to bleed the state?

Maybe, the Terengganu MB wanted to say that Proton should have a look at their Perdanas especially the gearbox. If that is what he had wanted, he doesn't have to change state cars to Mercs. All he has to do is to make a press statement and the message would get across clearly enough. He does not have to spend 3 million plus just to get a message across.

If he were to mean that Perdanas are lousy, thats what he has just said, no matter how hard he had tried and will try to deny it, he could always have a look at Accords, or Camrys. Now don't tell me they cost as much. Minus whatever taxes, these cars would surely cost less than Mercs. Their maintenance cost is definitely lower than their continental counterpart.

The idiot went on to say that it is not money from oil royalty that was spent because they had not received a single sen yet. If you had not received a single sen yet it means that you are still poor and poor people should not be spending money like that, not in difficult times like this, you idiot.

Anyway whether it is old money or new royalty money it is still money and that amount could be put to better use. Everybody knows that Terengganu is one of the poorest states in the country, so spending that amount just to cool the arses of elected representatives is a very irresponsible thing to do so don't 'tegak benang yang basah'.

Next time tell a better story. Try this one. The air in Terengganu is just not compatible with Perdanas. Whenever the excos get into their Perdanas, their piles will bleed causing the government to spend millions on diapers.

Let me add a little bit more. I am sure many of the excos if not all are already filthy rich and many of them own Mercs already or if they do not have any they are surely able to buy one easily so if they really have to travel in Mercs,then use their own not buy them one with the people's money.
