Southern Tip and Northern Tip (Mistake Rectified)

Today will be my last day in office before I go for a long two weeks assignments. I am looking forward to the two weeks without being able to ride the waves of the internet. Last week I was in Labuan and there were no Maxis coverage. No WiFi signals added salt to the wound. That was a week I felt just like the olden late 90s and early Y2ks where internet is so scarce. The situation make me think why do they concentrate development in the Klang Valley only and leave out other parts of Malaysia crawling and biting the dust.

Come Sunday I will be leaving for Tanjung Pengelih in Johor. The southern tip of peninsular Malaysia separated by the narrow strait from Singapore. I can foresee that I will not be able to log on to the internet again for the next five days. OMG! I have to face life without the internet and it will be quite a technological stress for me. Stress because not being able to get connected to the world and cyberspace.

Seems to be a coindicence with this two consecutive weeks of activity. Firstly being present at the southern tip of the Aurea Chersonesus (I remember my late history teacher Mr Ch'ng Chin Eong when he taught us history). Yes the Malay Peninsular or Golden Peninsula was described by Ptolemy circa 150 AD as Aurea Chersonesus.

Then the following week I will be at the Northern most tip of Borneo Island. Kudat to be exact. I am hoping to be able to go to the tip that is Tanjung Simpang Mengayau.

It might be interesting to be in these two places and I might have lots of thing to blog about but too bad I am looking forward to no internet connection. Definitely my mobile broadband will be out of the question. So now what is only left to me is the cyber cafes. Two whole week missing the internet will be something missing in my daily life.

Don't Deprive Penantians Of Windfall

Voters in Penanti will go to the ballot box to elect a new Adun. 

BN has given clue that they might not put in their candidate. A silly reason given is not wanting to waste the rakyats money. What a joke. On what ground is that deemed as wasting rakyats money when during every by-elections millions were promised to the respective constituency in "mee segera" projects and it is for the rakyats. It is wasting rakyats money if it benefit just the certain few individuals who clings around UMNO. And this too comes in millions and maybe billions. 

Please don't deprive the people of Penanti of their rights i.e to get overnight development like those in Bukit Gantang, Bukit Selambau, Batang Ai, KualaTerengganu and Ijok.   

Cleaning My Blog

I am not sure whats the loading speed of my blog on the part of my visitor. On my side I found out that loading is quite slow. At first I thought it was due to my 3G broadband connection but when I used P1Wimax, the loading time is the same. P1Wimax is not much better than other broadband access (minus Streamyx - I have not been using it for a year now). P1Wimax is not performing as what the salesman claim. 

So, today I think I have to do some cleaning and I start off with deleting two Nuffnang online add banner which is not giving me any worth. The last date that Nuffnang gave me an ad was December 2008. Now its April and I am without a single ad from Nuffnang. So I decided why give Nuffnang FREE advertisment with three banners.  I deleted two of them that does not benefit me. Another FREE advertisement that I gave Nuffnang is the banner. Ever since I placed that banner, not even one advertisement was seen on it. So zusssssss.......of it goes. 

Besides Nuffnang I also have to delete the Advertlets banner. I noticed that there was no advertisement from  Advertlets for a long time and it eats up my loading time. More heads going to roll as time goes on.  

Going To Kudat, Sabah

Yes, I am going to Kudat on the northern tip of the island of Borneo. 

Actually Kudat is not a new place for me to visit since I have been to this town in the 70s when I was working in Kota Marudu, Sabah for five years. However after years of leaving the Land Below the wind, Kudat might look much more different from what I can remember and visualise those days.

I have been googling on Google Map to see how Kudat looks like lately and trying to landmark places that were present when I visited the town. There are definitely lots of changes. 

Since I got the news that I am going back to Kudat it will be a nostalgic memories for me and recall the experiences I had been through when I was there. This time around I will try to make my home coming more memorable. There are new places for me to visit and I think the top in my priorities is to visit Tanjung Mengayau, the northern most tip of Borneo Island. I will blog about the visit this time.  Hope there is someone from Kudat reading this posting and better if you are a blogger too so we can share the experiences. 

Just counting the days to leave for Kudat.

FA Cup Final 2009

The FA Cup Final at National Stadium Bukit Jalil today 25 April 2009. The first major cup to be grabbed by local football teams in Malaysia. Kelantan came after 39 years missing the final compared to Selangor who can be said as regulars. 

So the match is between 

SELANGOR (The Red Giants)

and 

KELANTAN 

The atmosphere at the National Sports Complex is a hive of activities. Stalls selling souvenirs especially team T shirts were set up and fom the look it was painted red. It is obvious that there are more red than yellow since both teams have red as their common colours. The two pictures above tell its own story =  the comparison.

Home made horns for sale

TM too as the main sponsor organised the TM Syok Bola Carnival next to the food court in the morning creating the excitement of the finals later in the evening. There were cage futsal and drawing contest for school childrens. 

Later in the evening

Things gets even busier. Crowds start to congregate and mostly the Kelantan supporters seems flood the whole area. Looks like the red tide flowing into the National Sports Complex arriving in droves especially out of the LRT station.

Security at the gates. Even with this security there are still crackers being lit in the stadium. 

Dikir Barat entertained the crowd before the kick off.  

A foreigner family too came to support the Kelantan Team. This comply with the Malay proverb, "Di mana bumi di pijak di situ langit dijunjung"

Training em young

Security on patrol

It is not complete if there are no face painting.

The game ended with a 1-1 draw and the winner was decided on pelanty kicks. 

SELANGOR 1 (4)    KELANTAN 1 (1)

Paintball Marker - A Matter Of Legality

I was in Labuan this week and speak to some friends about paintball. Recently there was a Paintball Challenge Labuan Open on 1 Febraury 2009. Sports enthusiast especially who played the sport are happy that the sport was a great success. I also came to know that there are three paintball venues around the island. Its a good progress for a small island state. 

However on the negative side the sport is put on hold on legal grounds. One of my friend said that those who bought paintball markers during the tourney were visited by the police advising them to apply for a licencse. (Maybe its a fire arm licence, I am not sure).

Now whats the legal aspect of owning a paintball marker. I have no idea of it since I am new to the sport and still using manual house markers for training. Of course in the near future I plan to buy my own marker and the issue if legality is a question mark. Someone who were not licensed to own and/or carry fire arm can carry death sentence. What about paintball marker? Is it on par with the normal airgun?

UPDATED 1 May 2009

I read in PBchat.com.au and found this one information about paintball licencing in Australia. You can read HERE for information. 

PKR With A Difference

To me its a wise decision to retain Eli as Selangor Exco member after being victimised by her ex boyfriend with lewd photos on the internet. The ex boyfriend is missing and the police still can't get on him. Eli is innocent since the pictures were taken and posted without her consent. Many has seen the pictures either the series that has been tuned down or the full set. All the picture showed that it was taken without her realising. 

The question is whats the intention of the ex bf took the picture. Would he post the pictures on the internet is Eli was just an ordinary blogger as we use to know her? I don't think so. Because Eli is a public figure as politician and and from PKR, the posting of the photos is suspicious. As most Malaysians Pakatan Rakyats 'enemy' will do anything to bring them down from being a government chosen by the people. BN illegally rob the Perak Pakatan Rakyat Government.  A. Arumugam quit as Kedah Exco member and Bukit Selambau assembly man due to political manipulation. Penang's Ex 2nd Deputy Chief Minister, Mohammad Fairus was  linked with illegal quarries activities and then quit from all his post and the latest his seat.  

They got both Arumugam and Fairus but lost Eli. The agenda was to force a by election but not successful since voters in Bukit Selambau is not as stupid as they thought. Thats why I think Tan Sri Khalid made the right decision or else there will be another by election and as Buletin Utama put it, wasting peoples funds. 

Now that Fairus resign from his seat, many are celebrating their success. Now lets pray and hope that voters in Penanti too give a present to our new PM, just like what Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau voters did. 

My First WimaxTest

Since evening I had done some speed test on Wimax because I found out that there is no difference between maxis broadband or my neighbouer's wireless network that I squat on. 

Wireless signal strength is excellent with speed of 54.0 Mbps.

 

The first test was done at 7.39 in the evening with the Wimax modem connected to a Netgear router. Both equipment was placed in the centre of the house about 5 metre away from the window and my laptop is also about the same distance from the router. I waited long enough but the Wimax can't test the upload. I waited long enough until I decided to cancel the test and change the location. The picture below was captured before I decided to give up waiting. 

Top picture: This screen capture was done at 7:39:54PM

Top picture: This screen capture was done at 7:56:40PM

Then I decided to relocate the modem nearer to the place where I am and also nearer to the window as adviced in the brochure. The results of the test is as in the screen captures below. 

Top picture : This screen capture was done at 9:30:45 PM

Top picture: This screen capture was done at 9:33:21PM

Top picture : This screen capture was done at 9:50:05 pm

Base on the coverage map that I saw at the PC Fair and the reseller at Carrefour Seri Petaling, my house has an overlapping coverage meaning served by two base station. 

According to the package plan downlink is up to 1.5 Mbps and uplink up to 500 kbps for the Home Plus Plan that I subscribe. Well, this is what I get tonight: 

Download 1560 kbps (Wimax claim up to 1.5 Mbps)

Upload 253 kbps (Wimax claim up to 500 kbps)

School Boys Playing Truant At National Sports Complex

I was at the Information Centre (Sports Snooker Centre) of National Sports complex waiting for my wife coming on the LRT. Saw a group of secondary school boys in school uniform hanging around the area near the Bukit Jalil LRT station. I am sure these boys did not go to school while back home their parent might be thinking how hard their child is studying in school. I suspect these boys (all Malays) are from nearby schools. They are wearing different badges which means they might come from different schools. There are three secondary schools around the sports complex. 

At Seri Petaling there are two schools and one at Bukit Jalil. However did not see anyone of them smoking but who knows. Whether they smoke or not, they should be in class at this hour (10.00 a.m) because there are no sports activities at the complex which migh involve school children.

Hope this posting is read by teachers from the three schools around the National Sports complex and make spot checks. Who knows among them is their student. They might be just hanging around until school isover before going home pretending in front of their parents, to be exhausted from learning. But what if they involve in unacceptable activities which can bring a bad name to the respective schools.

PC Fair 2009 - Subscribe to P1 Wimax

Went to PC fair on Sunday afternoon. This time my plan is to subscribe to P1 Wimax after knowing that my area is now covered. Better still I found out that my area has an overlapping coverage. That should be good news I suppose. 

During the lastPC fair in December, I sign up as interest to subscribe because during that time my area is still not covered. 

This is the first post using my P1 network. As being claimed, setting up is as easy as plug and play. I connected the modem to my router and my laptop was connected on maximum bar. Now I have a personal network in my home. 

My conclusion: They mean what they claim as far as I am concern but not sure what will happen in future. I tried You Tube and it load smoothly too as claimed. 

I tried to log on to Wimax website but was returned with a Oops! This link appear to be broken. Not sure was it because the website bandwith has been exceeded due to the massive increase of subscribers due to the PC Fair.

Note: I can't test the speed because Ican't even log into P1 website.

Paintball Training Again -

11 April 2009 : This morning we had another practice. The practice is a much more awaited and motivated especially for me since now I already have my own goggle and paintball pants. Our team decided to gear up and started off with the goggle a few weeks ago. It was supposed to be last week but the rain stop us from training. Last night I went to Werdna Hol to buy my paintball pants which is part of our sponsorship deal with the proshop. So now I have my new pants and will get the shirt, gloves and harness later. So Team Yakuza will be wearing the red Redz.

Progression of the team. Using own goggle already. We'll soon be fully geared. 

For once the whole team met up at Astaka for our training. We started off with the break out and then snap shooting practice. Of course at this level of skill acquisation that is the cognitive stage we are having problem with reaction and smooth movement of snapping and shooting. 

Ananda Wong  who was watching approached us and gave some  tips on how and why of snap shooting. He told us the objective of the training that is to tell the muscle to move automatically without having to think before doing. While listening to him I knew that he was describing about Motor Learning and Motor Skills. 

Wikipedia define Motor learning as the process of improving the motor skills, the smoothness and accuracy of movements. It is obviously necessary for complicated movements such as speaking, playing the piano, climbing trees and eating bananas but it is also important for calibrating simple movements like reflexes, as parameters of the body and environment change over time. The cerebellum and basal ganglia are critical for motor learning. 

In paintball and as in other sports, there are two types of skills, close skill and open skills. Skills is trained as a close skill. Player learn the best way to execute a particular skill and train until it become automatic. When an action has become automatic, a player doesn't have to think the sequence of action to be taken because messages sent by the brain to the muscle through the nerves has been saved and retrieve when it is needed. For that reason the correct application of skill is necessary from the start of skill learning. 

Dr Maxwell Maltz in his book Psycho Cybernatics said that when one repeat a particular action for more than 21 time it will become a habit. So, in sports training, skill acquisation has to be train until it become a habit. 

We also did pressure training with a team who like us is new to paintball. Maybe our advantage is that we had played once in the My-NPL. Pressure training as it name implies is training under pressure. We played with the team when we are five up against seven in the other team. So instead of concentrating and eliminating five players we have to do it on seven. We won most of the games and lost a few. Another aspect that I experience today is the challenge on my fitness. We played two games consecutively without ample rest between the games. It was really a pressure on my fitness level and I have to pull myself to the side for a breather to avoid collapsing on the field.

With the new pants on me, I could feel that I play with more confidently especially doing some slides and commando crawl when playing snake.  For the first time in training today I was not hit on the major parts of my body.

The Scapegoat Sacrificed

The murderer has been sentenced to the gallow. However the verdict does not end the speculation because definitely they murdered the Mongolian women with some reason. And as the case was going on trial there are sub plots including the missing PI after he confessed. Where is he today and why is he missing. Razak Baginda went to London for his Phd or just be there to rub away the heat of him being part of the plot. Question mark..........

People on the streets will not keep silence as "they suspect" who is behind this murder. Read Renovatio HERE. The death of the two police personnel will not end the whole incident. Malaysians knew who is who in Malaysia. 

Read MP Kits blog too. 

Please Stop The Paintball Advertisement

I had posted a blog about an advertisement on paintball as part of a campaign towards healthy lifestyle for youths- satu suara. A reader who also run a paintball venue commented on the advertisement :

call me sensitive but there is a little bit something wrong with the ad...players shud wear facemask when handling the marker to show the 'professionalism' of the sport or else there will be noobs following exactly what they are doing there - holding a marker without masks.

I agree with her. I learn from playing the sport that whenever a player is inside the playing area, masks must always be on and outside the playing area, barrel sock on. This is the top priority in safety precaution in paintball. 

Tonight while watching Buletin Utama over TV3, again another careless advertisement about paintball was aired. The advertisement had appeared for some time already but only tonight I realise that something is not right about the advertisement. It showed three youth walking in public each carrying a paintball marker. A paintball marker can be mistaken by the general public as firearm due to its design. It is "illegal" for a paintball player to carry the marker that is not kept in its storage bag outside the playing area and the penalty for him/her is serious and will be dealt with severely by paintball competition/tournament organisers. Now, this advertisement project the three youth walking in public with their goggle fixed on their head and each freely carrying a paintball marker. It can be interpreted as a robbery or crime to be. 

No doubt it is just an advertisement but it can be mistakenly taken by noobs that paintball marker can be carried freely. Apart of carrying openly (I think it is an offence) , the markers too are not covered with the barrel sock or barrel plug to prevent accidental shooting. Watch this....

I play paintball and as part of the sports fraternity, urge paintball clubs (maybe MAPAAC or My-NPL) and other related bodies to request the relevant authority to retract the advertisements and replace it with a "decent" one that follow rules and guideline of paintball sport. Surely we do not want the public and worse still the authority to have a negative perspective of the sport.

Well done voters of Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau.  Not forgetting to mention everybody who worked hard for this win and least but not least the Pakatan Bloggers and freelance bloggers who help a lot to make this victory. The new media showed the way again. RTM and TV3 keep manipulating junks to the people.

Just Don't Understand Why?

Kosmo today frontpaged another cyber crime case involving illegal transfer of money through internet banking. Personally I do not have any pity because the victim is considered educated considering her position as marketing executive. It is not a first case and banks has been giving advice either in print media or radio not to respond to phone calls, emails or SMS requesting bank accounts to be updated. 

She is only lucky that she just lost RM 2,200.

My CIMBClicks account was blocked because I ignored their email. I too get this email but just ignored. My account still exist tilltoday. CIMB (other banks too, maybe) do advice about this type of scam on their website not to fall prey to cyber conmen. 

So, the next time you receive this email, usually in the spam mailbox, just ignore. But if you are not sure.DO NOT CLICK from email. Type the URL in the address box and you will be sure to be linked to the respective bank and not the conmen. 

The Internet Doesn't Stop

Physically campaigning for the three by-election (or is it BUY Election?) has to stop. All parties involved must stop their campaigning. Full stop. 

However, campaigning over BN's electronic media will not stop. I don't think they will not air any news relating to the three by elections over the news slot. It is an unfair advantage to the Pakatan Rakyat, don't you think so? 

The internet too does not stop. Campaigning in cyberspace will still proceed. Does this breach the election law? Pakatan is lucky too because the internet or new media has became the lifestyle for them. People are going to the internet for updated and unbiased information that is always been blackout by electronic and print media. 

Too bad voters in Batang Ai has limited access to the internet. 

When Nga Recites

After Ngar Koh Ming recite a verse from the holy Quran, the electronic media cast it as one of the prime news. Following the clip, they get comments from a 100% BN figure and at the same time barking to Malaysians that PAS is keeping numb about it. Did they go and interview anybdy in the Pakatan Rakyat camp? I did not hear or see anyone from the PR being interviewed and shown over TV. Why did they not go and interview Datuk Nik Aziz and Datuk Seri Haji Hadi Awang? These are two true ulama' and not self interest ulama' who speak to cari makan. I and sure they no balls to do that, and will not do that because they will get a knock back on their head. 

TV3 too, harping (over Buletin Utama) that the Malays especially Muslims believe that Ngar said from citing a verse from the Quran. Who says the Muslim believe his translation? Did they interview anybody who are present during Nga's speech? What! TV3 think Malays and Muslims are so stupid and dumbass?

I receive this in my email. Whether its chain letter or not, it is still an advice to the public to be carefull. I am circulating the email. 

For those who always drive in to Malaysia…  precaution is always the best thing to do.  What a sad world we live in....  : Please read - notice on car (not a joke) Warning....!!!! Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car.  When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of thecar. Then we received this email yesterday: 'WARNING FROM POLICE - BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE --NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS' (NO T A JOKE) Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating.... You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse.  When you look into the rear view mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the  carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down asthey speed off in your car.  And guess what, ladies? Ibet your purse is still in the car.  So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!    BEWARE OF THIS NEW TACTIC THAT IS NOW BEING USED. If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of; personal  information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.  Please keep this going

Do be careful as due to the economic downturn, people are desperate and coming out with lots of different ways to rob you. 

Take care.

Please be careful all, especially the ladies.

Bending The Rules

To win and remain in power one can do anything even if it contravenes culture and religious ethics. 

Quoted from dnightcaller: UMNO vice President attended a dinner function featuring 3 hot pant girls singing and entertaining those present. To justify the singers, Zahid claimed that this is part of the Chinese culture.

BN AN Illegal Organisation?

I am not sure but if someone would take the trouble to investigate  and can proof that BN is really illegal, whats the outcome of all the elections held after Perikatan was changed to Barisan Nasional in 1973 . What prompt me to post this blog is after reading HERE. 

Gearing Up For Yakuza Starts

This posting is not political. Its sports. Today I and my team members  went to Werdna Hol Sportz at Bandar Tun Razak in Cheras. It was going to be a discussion about our team sponsorship with the proshop who is sponsoring a few teams and tournament locally. 

Only four of the team members were present and it was quite a fruitful discussion with the proshop owner, Andrew himself. We are planning to gear up our team for future involvement in paintball and as it is we are going to be serious in the sports. Our discussion did came up with some sort of aggreement verbally that we are going to accept Werdna's sponsorship. Not sure whether there will be a  follow-up with proper documentation. It all depends on both parties in future discussions. 

Andrew suggests we go for Sly, where he is the sole dealer for this region but since its on the higher end of paintball apparels and by looks seems to be of better quality , we decided not to go for it with our limited and tight budget. So we are going to opt for another brand to suit our budget. 

Eventhough it was a verbal understanding we did start our purchase with the initial and most important equipment for paintball sports- goggle. 

For every invovlement in sports, the first thing to be considered is the safety aspect. For that reason prior to that we agreed to start out with the goggle. We all bought a Dye I3 goggle system by dyepaintball at a discounted sponsporship price. And now we have to carry the Werdna Hol on our attire. 

Waaa....just action only with the Azodin blitz.

Help!!

I saw this election billboard by Pakatan Rakyat while passing through Taman Ria in Sungai Petani. However since it was raining heavily and heavy traffic on the road, I can't get a better picture of it showing the 5 Pencapaian Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat in Kedah. 5 success barely 1 year in power is a giant leap. UMNO then Perikatan then BN after 51 years is still boasting promises and hoodwinking the people.

Can someone get a better picture if this billboard and post it on the internet? Die and live again (mati hidup semula) also this will not appear on any print media. Lets show the world what a responsible government can do. 

Fair Election, Is It?

If you think Malaysian election is clean and fair, wait till you read HERE and MAFREL . 

Its RAHMAM

First the RAHMAN theory of who is going to be our PM did not materialise because not its is RAHMAM. 

Some people are happy that they have a new baggaged ridden PM but majority Malaysians do not. Happy or not, life must go on and we have to face the world as it is because the whole world knew who our 6th PM is. 

I did not watch the ceremony at Istana Negara nor the handing over of the file at Putrajaya. I wasonly forced to listen to the swearing in of him over Sinar FM. No choice because I just can't be searching for another channel while on the road and my cassette player not working. His maiden speech consisted of releasing 13 ISA detainees. I don't know who but I am sure it will be the Hindraff leaders. Why? Because they don't want to loose Bukit Selambau again. Among my reason for Hindraff among the 13? Read HERE for one of them.

After being elected as the new PM, we ought to give him a present. So lets give him a present on 7th April. Oh...sorry only people in Bukit Gantang, Bukit Selambau and Batang Ai, has the opportunity. So you in the three mentioned areas, lets give  DS Nizar, S. Manikumar for Bukit Selambau and  Jawah Gerang as a present. 

Stopped At Bukit Gantang

I was on my way back to Alor Star and using the trunk road I passed through Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau. The atmosphere was just like the last PRU. An empty road at midnight turned into a busy stretch especially upon reaching Bukit Gantang area. Stop at the entrance of Bukit Gantang and have this picture taken. It tells some story. 

Then on the way back, I stop at the Masjid Jamek Bukit Gantang. There were stalls set up and of course it gives the opportunity for small traders to do some business. My plan was to have dinner so we stop at a stall next to the mosque. We ordered 3 plates Chicken Rice, a bowl of Mee soup. Drinks are 1 lemon iced tea, Milo ais and 3 in 1 coffee. I was surprised because all those costs RM 24.00. The reason is because it is in Bukit Gantang. If It is in Klang Valley, then I understand the high price. 

If a plate chicken rice is RM 4.00 then three plate will only cost RM 12.00. A bowl of mee soup is RM 4.00 then the price of food is only RM 16.00. So the four glass of drinks costs RM 8.00. I think this is cut throat price. Just like eating at a mid range posh restaurant. But there, it was a wet and bit muddy ground and with cigarette smokes coming into our way.

It was a bad experience when the meals are taken into consideration but that was compensated by the ceramah opposite the mosque. It was a PAS ceramah and I stayed to hear. The speakers include Dr Zulkifli Nordin, and the main highlight was the candidate himself Datuk Seri Nizar. He made his appearance and explained what had transpired at the High Court in KL regarding his case filed against the illegal MB of Perak, Datuk Zamry. The case will be heard on 9th April. I least expected to be able to listen to MB himself because his name was not mentioned in the speakers line up. I thought Penang CM would be the highlight but I left after DS Nizar's speech since I have a long way to drive back to KL.  

Bukit Selambau buy election is more colourful because there are 15 candidates vying for the seat and posters, banners and buntings not only decorate the constituency but it is also colourful. I just pass by Sungai Petani town from Taman Ria to Bedong but did not go deeper into Bukit Selambau due to time constrain. How I wish I have time to travel into the Bukit Selambau area and see the actual atmosphere. Its just a silly mistake to depend on print and electronic media because reporting is unfair and one sided. I did not watch news on TV for the first 30 minutes now because its all lies. 

For Bukit Selambau voters, especially Muslims read what Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Aziz's advice HERE. 

Don't Say This Don't SayThat - You Don't Have Any Issue

Why must only PKR andPAS being dictate what to say and what not to say. I think Malaysia is a democratic country. Why is BN so afraid of the deceased Mongolian women, submarines and helis? When they dictate terms not to raise an issue that is an issue, then they say opposition has no issue. The baggage that the PM to be is not only a domestic issue but going glokal. 

Seems That Nobody Want Him

The lingering question in mostMalaysians today (except UMNOs) is will Pak Lah abandon the sinking ship and leave the lifeboat to a baggage ridden replacement. The most talk about question is in the Top 10 on the chart. Maybe not Top 10. Its the only question on chart. 

However the sinking ship is sailing on its course. 2nd April has been mentioned as the day Pak Lah going to have an audience with the King. Then the new (baggaged) PM will be sworn in. I might get a new Minister too. 

Read HERE what The People's Parlaiment has said. Zorro swords slashed something HERE. 

If all is in order, then we will have to sail with all those patched holes in the hull. Hope no iceberg will turn it into Malaysia Titanic.
