More Monkey Business...

This got me really amused.

Truthfully, I didn't know things such as what I found out today existed...I mean, with all things 'american' and with their politically-correct way of doing things and saying things -- I seriously didn't know that there are group(s) that will boycott monkey-picked coconuts!

I mean, like these people (westerners) in the first place do not have coconut in their country -- we all know that.
And for Asian, especially South East Asian, we have it in abundance -- so basically, centuries ago our ancestor just know what to do with it, and how to deal with it. And we do, do things differently than you people you know.

When it come to coconut, we Asian have been exposed to this plant ever since we know how to crawl. It is everyhwre in the village area, or by the sea, and even behind our house. We learnt in Geography how it is planted, harvested, what we can do from the leaves right up to the fruit.
Thus watching monkey picking coconut is now new.
Yes, there are people who'd climb the tree for meager fees in small small village, but it is just easily done by monkey.

And who say the monkey isn't well taken care of?
Do they made some private call to your protection office to complaint?...Duhhh....
What do you westerners expect? For the monkeys to be sheltered and have their own separate room with tv and fridge?
Darn me.

I came across this webpage after doing some digging on the past year's craze over everything coconutty.
From the milk to the flesh.
It's the current superfood it seems...I reckon we SEA, especially the Malays must be so darn healthy because we eat almost everything from main dish to deserts made with coconut milk and let me tell you -- the best 'nasi lemak' would be the one that uses the real coconut milk instead a drop or two oil by some health conscious roadside seller -- to me only spells ugly taste and greed of wanting to make profit by quelling the originality.

One thing for sure; and one thing to prove some of them are seriously oblivious to the origin of coconut milk; I read a thread and these westerners were 'debating' on how to get coconut milk naturally -- instead of buying the carton ones that might be laced by BPA thingy (again, americans paranoia) one of them suggested dig open the hull -- using drilling equipment..(har har!!  and just poke it open and put in a straw , viola one can drink the milk straight from the fruit!
Coconut milk straight on.
How oblivious can one be.
When someone who can go on the net, have access to all sort of information, if one can't make the effort to really check out what is coconut milk and coconut water -- it basically spells their nature of believing that they are smarter than others (especially non-westerners) and know everything around the world even though they haven't' set an eye on a coconut tree in their lives before.

Anyway, coming back to the webpage that have too much of a concern that monkeys are maltreated by human, they will announce name of companies that DO NOT use monkeys so concern end-users will only buy from listed organisations.
According to them "these companies engage in ethical business practices, ensuring human workers are properly compensated for their work. They do not use monkeys or human children to harvest coconuts."

 It got me laughing...again..thinking about the monkey that my dad rush to pick coconuts behind my grandmother's house couple of years ago because it was in abundance and were being left to rot -- which the monkey refused (snobbishly..yes, no joke)...and were made known later by the handler ; monkey do not appreciate any kind of remark or rushing for him to climb!...Seriously! Now, what say you...   

To those westerners.. my shout out would be  -- Hey, the monkeys aren't complaining, so why are you?! ha ha..

Cow-Conspirator Salleh and his family.

They can give whatever bull and crap reasons behind the acquittal of the cow-loving man Salleh Ismail, the  National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd (NFCorp) executive chairman of two huge charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM49.7 million but they cannot hide what is obvious.

The Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge Norsharidah Awang granted the man an acquittal after lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah and deputy public prosecutor Syed Faisal Syed Amir met in her chambers.

Wonder what transpired....

The judge did not give the reason for her decision.

The  A-G had earlier consented to give Salleh a discharge not amounting to an acquittal following a letter of representation sent to his office couple of months back.

Salleh's lawyer said -- " his client should be freed because of special circumstances of the case, and that an acquittal should be given since the trial had started"....

What special circumstances? Cheating RM49.7 million because the cows needed to stay in condominiums instead of their usual barn?

Just so people know how manipulative Malaysian politicians can be -- His wife a member of cabinet and a full minister who claimed she din't know anything pertaining to her husban;d business affairs -- which anyone in sound mind would'nt want to claim so, since they're still living together and a husband and wife.

They (because I know husband and wife will talk and discuss how to spend their easy money) 

had 'misappropriating' RM9.76 million by four cheques from NFCorp funds to finance the purchase of two condominium units in Kuala Lumpur.

The husband was also charged with committing a similar offence by transferring RM40 million by way of a cheque to the account of the National Meat & Livestock Corporation Sdn Bhd, which he and one of his children own.

Besides trying to strike out charges against him, which failed, he is also facing two other charges relating to using company funds without the approval of an annual general meeting to make part payment for the condominium units.

I wonder what kind of goodness do they get out of stealing money from others...people without conscience.

What a shame.

Terror attack or underhand planting bad seed in Malaysia?...

Makes me wonder whether there'd be some conspiracy in igniting some sort of unrest in the country now....after all, there are those who would benefit from wrath of others.

Facebook = Depression

"Facebook leads to depression"... and like as if we needed to be reminded of that.

Posting picture of food on Facebook is a sign of depression, so on and so forth....but people still do it because they can't help but want others to see it.

Now, I came across this report where a recent study done by those smart people -- maybe they don't have facebook because they're bookworm-- of Nanyang Technological University, Bradley University and the University of Missouri Columbia found that heavy Facebooking can lead to the ugly feeling of envy -- which can ultimately lead to the more ugly feeling of extreme sadness.

Constantly checking Facebook to see what your friends are doing could lead to some serious depression it said.
However, I'd like take a nay for that because of "I-don't -give- a -bulls" self esteem I posses. Ehem...
Nonetheless, I do know and came across life testimonials of people who had become increasingly envious or jealous in their life just to show that "I can have that too ..." despite their unfavourable situations.

Coming back to the studies, it mentioned that some 736 college students were found feeling bad about themselves when they quietly stalk friends on Facebook and realise that their life doesn't measure up to those they stalked. -- And thus why, like we all know, Facebook is the best medium of showing of what latest gadgets we have, how happy and lovely the family is right up to showing how independent we (she was) are by pulling the baby out of our (her) stomach after the Doc cut open the stomach. Gross.
As for the vagina part, well Im not quite sure whether there's any 'direct to the point' pic or videos by any one but remembered there was once that went viral...

Yup.
Viral.
That is the key word.
That is basically what they want.
They want whatever they post to go viral, be it in a smaller scale amongst the friends of friends or  if it is dynamite enough it will have the prospect of going international.

"If Facebook is used to see how well an acquaintance is doing financially or how happy an old friend is in his relationship -- things that cause envy among users -- use of the site can lead to feelings of depression," said Margaret Duffy, a professor at the University of Missouri School of Journalism.

According to Ms Duffy, those feeling isn't just a college phenomenon because her nearing middle age can relate to that (depressing) situation.
For Facebook addict like her, checking on it is a huge part of  their life and  having the app on the phone checking it at work, at home, while in traffic, or in a subway station with Wi-Fi, I'd say there's no place that the Z(f)uckerberg creation didn't go.

No doubt getting updates of all friends or so-called friends or extended families, is a good way of being in touch especially for someone who is living thousands of miles away and that it is impossible for occasional latte  -- yes, Facebook has it's good side too.

But when material possessions or endless happiness portrayed in pictures of excellent deco, lavish lifestyles or good food constantly being spread on the table like there was a private chef cooking for them day in and day out -- IT CAN GET NASTY.

Okay. I must admit.
Nope, I wasn't an addict. But I do check on it everyday like once in the morning and once in late afternoon and that was like maybe five or six years back when Facebook was at the height of it. But at that time people aren't so showy. They're not so bold showing off their 34DD boobs or big huge belly with baby inside for people (friends) to see and sharing the pic of their baby sucking their breast for that purely 'motherhood' joy-hood.

It has changed.
People get more dirtier...and they get more crazier by sharing almost everything they do in and out of their house, alone or with their families and friends.

Those things can get overboard.
Frankly, I despised those showy lots. I loath it. Be it in the form of emotional or material.
What about those in their friends circle that don't have much.
Those that just came out of a relationship.
Those teenagers with mom and dad living separate ways...what would the affect be on them?

But because the founder and his minions are so brilliant, they have make almost all of other informative platforms such as news, medical or wellbeing site an option or a must to LIKE to enable us to gain access to their daily dose of information.

It sucks.
I have talked few friends out of terminating their account for the reasons those researchers indicated.
Told them, we still need Facebook but we can either delete (which I have no qualms of doing) or for those nicer people -- I suggested them to hide those incredibly loud friends from showing on their newsfeed.

And just like Ms Duffy said  -- "my only consolation is sometimes my friends confuse "there," "their" and "they're" in their posts about their lovely vacations and darling children. Then suddenly, I feel a little bit better about myself."....

Don't we human sometimes love it when we see people are not as good as their façade....

The Bulls and Crap of 1 MALAYSIA.

BR1M

1. Let me begin by admitting that I am not a trained economist or financier. Still I don’t think it is fair for anyone to say I do not understand BR1M and the good things about it. I have in the past made some decisions on economic and financial matters which seem to have given good results for the country.

2. I have been opposed to giving monetary handouts as a way to increase the income of people right from the beginning. If at all financial aid should be given to the very poor who are unable to work to earn an income. My primary objection is because handouts on such a scale look too much like bribery. And when this is given near elections or the manifesto promises this, the impression that it is about buying votes just cannot be dismissed. If incomes are to be increase it should be by way of creating opportunities for work or business.

3. But BR1M has more negative implications than that. It increases the tendency towards personal dependence on the Government even for one’s income, without any effort by oneself. It weakens the character of people and reduce their competitiveness in the market place.

4. We want high incomes. But high income should come from increases in productivity. High productivity results from better education and training. A manual labourer cannot be more productive than a mechanic or a craftsman. And they in turn cannot be as productive as an engineer. The ability to increase productivity comes from greater added value to the products.

5. It follows that when we promote industries with greater added value, than the incomes of employees would increase due to greater contribution of the employees. We should note that in countries with big Government revenues from the foreign exploitation of resources, and people are given a part of the revenue to sustain a good lifestyle, there is a lack of desire to work.

6. Giving money does not increase productivity. Without increasing productivity, competitiveness will not improve. And the economy will not really grow. These countries invariably depend on foreign workers, executives and entrepreneurs.

7. When Malaysia adopted a policy of encouraging labour intensive industries, it was because at that time the people were jobless and had no income. After that to increase their incomes we switched to hi-tech, knowledge-based industries and our people are educated and trained for these more sophisticated higher income industries.

8. We can increase their wages further by adopting new technologies and management systems. Our workers should now be involved in designing new products, producing prototypes, testing and mass-producing. Marketing and sales of these more sophisticated products will also increase incomes.

9. We want to be a developed nation by 2020. We think that this can be done by increasing average incomes to a certain level. This is misleading. A few people with very high incomes will distort the average income. Per capita income should not be a measure of our achievement of developed country status. The emphasis on high income alone is not enough. In fact by itself it will not make the country a developed country. It would be even more misleading when the income is due to handouts by the Government.

10. To be developed we have to be at par with these developed countries in terms of education, technological and industrial knowhow, research and development, industrialised to a high level, commensurate infrastructure and high earned incomes for all.

11. It is imperative therefore to spend money on education and training to a higher level, to build up engineering and industrial capacities, to be productive and competitive, to expend money on building first-class infrastructure and to be researchers, inventors and developers.

12. Since we want to be developed in our own mould, we can reject the moral values of some developed countries. We see them obviously decaying because of the emphasis on unlimited materialism and personal freedom. We must sustain the good values that we have and acquire good ethnics which will contribute to our productivity and our income. In other words we must earn our income through higher productivity and not through handouts by the Government. The Socialist and Communists have tried to improve their people’s incomes through giving them money and making free availability of support facilities to ensure they have a good life. But Socialism and Communism have failed. They have to resort to free enterprise and hard work.

13. Finally we must not forget that Government money is derived through taxes on the people. Taxes raise the cost of living. Still the people are willing to endure raised cost of living because they expect the Government to give them security, to govern the country well, to have policies which benefit the people generally.

14. But the people would not like to see the taxes they pay to be expended in ways that are beyond this. Certainly they would not want their hard-earned money to be expended on winning popularity for anyone or political parties or administrations.

If Im not mistaken this is not the first time he wrote on this BR1M.

Or perhaps that might be another Najib-bashing write-ups on perhaps another of his (Najib) acronym- whatnots, supposedly would benefits the rakyat.

It's bullshits.

No one need to be financier or economist to sum up all the money this Najib had been and is spending, that it is all total waste. As I mentioned in my another post, he has a bunch of monkeys as advisors -- perhaps those youngsters were his son's friends...who might just got to that positions because of his son. And who have been advising him craps all his tenure as Prime Minister.

And if he ever thought that buying the people with all his bulls and crap acronyms 1 this and 1 that, Kedai1Malaysia or Toilet1 Malaysia -- he must have been an idiot having to believe so. 

He must be elected because his late daddy was once a prime minister too.

Don't blame people for generalising.

Look at some of the menteris. Either their daddy or daddy in law of grandfather you'd find one who were once in the cabinet.

The bulls and crap of 1 Malaysia.

       

Pirate of Lembah Pantai is all heart broken.

This is funny.
Nah, I don't really care what you might say.
You're free to judge anyway.

But one Kapal sink already.
And now the one and only flower among the torn is having some marital problems.
Perhaps she spend too much time pirating around Lembah Pantai on behalf of the loving daddy.

Nurul Izzah Seeks Custody Of Children
KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 (Bernama) -- The Syariah High Court here set June 17 for remention of the application by Lembah Pantai member of parliament, Nurul Izzah Anwar for custody of her children. 

She filed for divorce earlier in January from her husband Raja Ahmad Shahrir Iskandar Raja Salim, under Section 47 of the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territory) Act 1984.
Counsel Azmi Mohd Rais who with Zulkifli Che Yong represented Raja Ahmad Shahrir when the case was brought for mention in chambers today, later told reporters that Syarie Justice Amran Mat Zain fixed the date to allow the respondent who was currently abroad to cite his stance before submitting his defence. 

Nurul Izzah, represented by counsel Nor Mawaddah Ramli was present in court Thursday.
She filed the custody application on April 30 and handed the relevant documents to the respondent through his lawyer on May 24. 

The eldest of opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's children, Nurul Izzah and Raja Ahmad Shahrir have a daughter aged seven and a son aged four, from their marriage on May 9, 2003.

Duuhhhhh reporting....

The above, a snaphot from The New Straits Times today.

Is there any privacy at all? "A plastic bag consisting of clothes and toiletries" ... I can imagine how pissed I would be if Im in the brothers' position.

It is such an intrusion, it is a lame kind of reporting even if you're so desperate to fill in your empty column. 

Get real people. Im pretty sure you wont find the brothers carrying boxes of secret informations related to the missing aeroplane.

Duuhhhhhh.....

MAS -- The dimmed limelight.

No doubt the missing Flight MH370 managed to get the world focusing on Malaysia, but mind you, I predict it won't be painting any rainbow colours for the next maybe six months as emphasis will be given to any details of flight technical glitches to the smallest bit.

Tapping on the misfortune of the family members of those missing passengers and crew members, media will continue digging for any news they can get to sensationalise the matter.

From one foreign journalist asking the relationship of the Prime Minister with the acting Transport Minister, which if, I were the latter, would not even answered him -- a non-related question in the Press Conference, -- to indirectly trying to blame the pilot and co-pilot in the mishap, international media such as CNN will never stop picking up so-called 'scoop'.

And, if these are not bad enough, people naturally will opt for another flight should there be any, in order to not board Malaysian Airlines.

Technical problems such as the one happened to this Airbus flight to South Korea do occurred in aviation world very now and then. It happens to the most latest jetliner. 
But because a catastrophe happened to be fallen MAS, then, it shall stay with MAS...for quite a while.

Honestly?...Be realistic please, and start mourning for MH370.

MH370: Families Of Chinese Passengers Happy With Treatment From MAS

CYBERJAYA, March 19 (Bernama) -- Families of passengers of Malaysia Airlines' (MAS) Flight MH370 from China who are being accommodated at the Hotel Cyberview Resort & Spa, here, are satisfied with the services provided by the airline. 

A representative of the families when approached by reporters said, MAS had done its best in looking after their welfare since their arrival to this country last week.
"MAS looks after us well and monitors us on a 24-hour basis. The airline also fulfils all our requirements here. 

"Various facilities are provided for us such as a static clinic and conference room for us to keep tabs on the latest development in the search for the aircraft," said the representative of the families who declined to be identified.
They were still hoping that their family members who had boarded the MAS Flight MH370 would return safely. 

There are about 30 family members of passengers of Flight MH370 from China who were being accommodated at the hotel.
The mission to search for the MAS Flight MH370 carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members entered its 12th day, since the aircraft went missing on March 8.

Honestly?....I'd say just send them home.

No use of waiting in foreign shore when the jetliner supposedly went across the country and somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

Furthermore, these Chinese will definitely play the blaming game every now and then.   

And what is the use of MAS bearing further cost of lodging and feeding them. Not just them, infact. The rest of the Malaysian families staying at the hotel since nearly two weeks ago....what on earth do you wait there for?

I'd definitely ask that if Im a reporter at the press conference. 

Realistically.

Don't you have life?

Don't you have work to do?

If someone dies does it mean we have to mourn and die with them?... 

For how long more?

The government must be realistic. A decision must be done.

Why adding on more red to the already bad financial 2013 report?...

We don't see the Americans or Australian here waiting for answers...which might come or might not at all...

Time to accept reality folks....

British colonisation will never end.

Oh puhleez….
Who ever says British colonisation has ended?
It never did.

Yes.
They were once the greatest empire roaming the globe looking for lands and people to colonised and make them their land, disturbing the cultures, repressing stupid and naive rulers, especially in the Malay archipelago and implementing changes that will lead to worst events later on for example bringing in the Jewish to the Palestinian land.
As if they are the king of kings of the world.

Yup, Diana made headlines from her humble beginning as a kindergarten nanny posing in her quite transparent gowns holding a toddler…yes, that still I remember that picture clearly reading it in the newspaper prior to her wedding days which was celebrated worldwide, and telecasted worldwide too.
I mean who wouldn't want to watch the event of the centuries…

Yup, I remember that very well, and that shows how colonised have we all been by the British monarchy.

And, look now.
Kate Middleton's hair?
Owh, give me a break!
First of all, she can not compete her late mother in law in term of beauty and gracefulness.
Yes, all of women during the early 80s were donning Diana Spencer hairstyle.
It was an ultimate style back then.
Im guessing if at that time they sold coloured lenses, these women will definitely get a pair for themselves too.

I was very young then.
In my primary.
And I can still remember well the live telecast I watched in my grandmother's house. It was aired during the daytime. I remembered well because during those days the tv station, there was only two in Malaysia; RTM1 and RTM 2, only start airing late afternoon till 12 midnight.
Yes…this is what 70s kids experience.
No Astro.
No nothing.
And, just imagine and ponder on what kind of mental colonisation can something like that do to you. To young kid.

And the British is continuing their legacy colonising the minds of others, not by their music, not by their economy, but through their royalty.

And Kate Middleton hair?
Nope, I do not think it's worth a try because there nothing to glamorous or exciting about it.

Duhhhh…..

Owh Shit!!

IPOH 14 Nov. - Pengurus Restoran Nasi Kandar Ayam Merah di Jalan Yang Kalsom di sini hari ini menyangkal keras dakwaan restorannya ditutup susulan penemuan najis manusia di dalam peti simpanan makanan di premis itu.
Mohd Nihmatullah Syed Mustaffah berkata perkara itu yang disebar menerusi laman sosial sejurus selepas notis penutupan dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Kesihatan petang semalam, merupakan fitnah yang bertujuan menjejaskan perniagaannya.
"Adakah najis orang kita boleh masak? Kenapa cemburu selepas 55 tahun saya berniaga di sini?," katanya kepada pemberita di sini.
Sambil menegaskan penutupan selama dua minggu sehingga 28 Nov itu atas faktor kebersihan, beliau berkata pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab tersebut mendakwa najis terbabit untuk disalut di sekeliling periuk.
"Kalau ada bukti (saya berbuat demikian) keluarkanlah...," katanya menambah perbuatan tersebut turut menjejaskan imej Perak yang sinonim dengan nasi kandar restorannya yang dikenali sebagai "nasi ganja".
Banyak orang kenamaan termasuk menteri dari luar negara datang menjamu selera di sini, justeru bayangkan apa perasaan mereka jika terbaca dakwaan yang dibuat itu, katanya.
Mohd Nihmatullah, 59, juga menegaskan hanya restorannya ditutup manakala Restoran Vanggey di Greentown yang turut menjual nasi kandar beroperasi seperti biasa.
Restoran Vanggey juga milik keluarga saya, katanya.
Beliau berkata restorannya dijangka beroperasi semula Ahad atau Isnin ini selepas Jabatan Kesihatan melakukan pemeriksaan susulan.
Restoran terbabit diarah tutup selama dua minggu bermula semalam kerana gagal mematuhi tahap kebersihan yang ditetapkan.
Notis perintah tutup premis yang dikeluarkan Penolong Pegawai Kesihatan Persekitaran Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Kinta Abdul Rahman Ismail, dibuat mengikut Seksyen 11, Akta Makanan 1983. - BERNAMA

Hahahaha...
Gosh..........
Okay, I actually got this news from my family whatsapp.
And the funny part was, my brother who had been mentioning about this shop and all the nice Indian dishes they serve, in fact is the one who made me aware the existence of this shop which otherwise I know not.

The funny bit of this news was, in my brother's  reply he mentioned that even a three plates of rice servings wont suffice his craving of food from this shop.
And a stopover during work trip north would be a must.

Now, this kind of story -- not on the hygiene because personally I'd think almost all 'mamak' or Indian restaurant big or small has zero to little hygiene -- but the story of them using weird thing in their curries has been going on forever.

I remember there used to be one story about this particular restaurant near my place, supposedly them cooking their curries with used underpants or  man's brief thus why the curries from that shop tasted better than their competitors. Duhhhh....
And, please don't ask me whose brief they might use, but surely it must be the owner's!!...hahahaha....

The culture about food stalls or restaurant operators in Malaysia is that it correlated much with superstitious, black magic and all sort of nonsense. 
The story ranges from putting in things such as ganja to enhance the food and drawing people coming in for more, to  business rival next stall casting spells on your shop so walk ins wont be able to notice your shop, of unless you're the owner (duuhhhh.....) and all other nonsense whatnots. 

What can I say.....

Art is in the eye of the beholder.

"Hirst tells a story with his work of the simple and complex issues that all of us are facing: life, death, fear, beauty, how we deal with death and decay, luxury and value.”

Beheaded cow.
The positioning of baby in the womb.
Demonic looking baby statue.

And what is so complex about life, death, fear etc?
If one fail to deal with it, there's always Prozac to help...no?
Anyway, thus why in Islam we must believe in Qada and Qadar, which mean life before birth and until the death of us is all under Allah’s decision or decree and the belief that nothing can occur without Allah’s permission. Whatever Allah wills happens, and whatever he does not will does not happen.
That is it...It's the sixth pillar of faith.

Finding it complex to comprehend the reason behind Doha Museum od Islamic Art agree and dubbed into having this guy exhibit his so-called thought provoking 'masterpiece', though.

To me it is disgusting.
What is an art when you exhibit the process of baby progress, of course not the pre-making of it (which I'm sure included in those not allowed pieces)...or perhaps I'm not contemporary or conceptual enough to understand this artist works.

Duhhhh.....

The Malays from West Asia. You gotta be kidding me!

MALACCA: A study by a group of researchers has deduced that the Malays originated from West Asia, thus debunking a widely accepted theory that they are from Yunan, southern China, said Malay World Islamic World (DMDI) president Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam.

He said the 20-year scientific study, which were conducted by three local researchers, was supported by empirical evidence.  

The researchers are Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's Institute of Malay World and Civilisation principal research fellow Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Nik Hassan Suhaimi Nik Abd Rahman, National Defence University of Malaysia Faculty Defence Studies and Management lecturer Prof Datuk Dr Wan Hashim Wan Teh, and Suara Pribumi chairman Zaharah Sulaiman.

"If genetic tests were anything to go by, our deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) does not match that of the people of Yunan but matches that of West Asians.

"This study is important because the DNA determines our ancestry and our origin. As the new findings are very strong and can be defended, a book on them will be published," he told reporters after the opening of a regional symposium on tracing the Malay roots here, today. -- BERNAMA

****************************************************************

Fist and foremost, no one, I mean NO SANE one should take Ali Rustam seriously.
Besides becoming a not so good politician, and was once a laughing stock (at least to most of Malaysian) when he made the Malacca's governor conferred  a Datukship to Shah Rukh Khan, to which the actor didn't even bother to collect during the ceremony.

This ex-Malacca chief was questioned then on the reason of the tittle being given to the actor who doesn't even know where Malacca is. Nevertheless, this obviously coward man, whom in most of his political being are afraid of taking responsibility of his own action, muka tak malu Ali Rustam, sold former Finance Minister Daim Zainuddin's name by saying that the latter suggested so in order to promote Malacca in the tourism industry!...Weird.
And now, after losing his chair in last general election, this weirdo came around supporting another weird theory.

Now, for those who are not sure what is West Asia, I append here a map. This is West Asian countries :

Which part of the majority Malays resemble any of those people from these countries?
No doubt there are Malays whose great grandparents originated from West Asian countries but obviously not the majority.
This theory, or studies or whatever they did during that twenty years of wasting time indicated the Malays. 
And that obviously sounded like the majority.

Either those 20 years studies had made the three professors gone mad or they simply trying to make believe they are originated from these countries.

Ali Rustam on the other hand, proves to be yet another dumb going dumber!

Nay and Yay...too bad Adam Adli.

This is an example of a waste of students time, having to stay behind bars for such things.

What I can see from this general elections, there had been more and more students getting involved in protest and rally organised by the fallen and lost Pakatan Rakyat -- and what amazes me is, this Anwar Ibrahim, evidently using this crowds supports to show to the world that he got thousands behind him. But thousands of young students who doesn't really know what they even want in life yet? It that fair?

Nope. Don't say this is just what I think. That they're mindless people...-- they are. They looking all smilling, hoo haa-ing, jollying and excited to be with friends and in large group ranting and cursing. We all can see these in Youtube or pictures taken of them.  Majority of those people are college age students. Not belittling their rights as an individual, and their right to voice out 'whatever' dissatisfaction  but DO they really know what they're fighting for? Who they're fighting for exactly?

And now the opposition got another excuse or reason to bring more people to the road to get the government to listen to their wailing....thank you Adli. You really a symbol of stupid naive students who still ask your parents for pocket money!

So Allah is wrong in creating handsome men ?!...

Emiratis 'too handsome' for Saudi festival.

Three Emiratis were expelled from a cultural festival in Saudi Arabia after religious police deemed them 'too handsome' and could attract women visitors, local website arabianbusiness.com reported on Wednesday. 

Saudi Arabia prohibits women from interacting with unrelated males.

The UAE nationals were taking part in a heritage event in Riyadh on Sunday when they were thrown out by Saudi’s religious cops, the website reported citing Arabic newspaper Elaph.

“A festival official said the three Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that the Commission members feared female visitors could fall for them,” the newspaper said.

According to Huffington Post, the men were attending the Janadriyah Festival as delegates for a stand promoting the UAE when the incident occurred.

Steps were taken to return the three men to Abu Dhabi, the website reported

************************************************

Bewildered.

Did Allah done wrong in creating good looking men and beautiful women until human, in this case the notorious  Saudi's religious police-- must take action in their own hand by apprehending these handsome men from performing in a  cultural show... and reason being, they're  afraid that Saudi women will come and maybe scream and jump on them!

What kind of thought are they subscribing to?...
What are they so afraid of?
Are they afraid that their women (of course, they wont bother much if you're not arabs) will fail to control their natural God given feeling  called LOVE or APPRECIATION?....

And I wonder what they, the Emiratis  at large would think of this  Saudi religious police action.

One thing for sure, I must say (in the name of saluting and appreciating  Allah(swt) creation), Emiratis ARE more good looking people compared to their neighbour Saudis and Qataris. Really.

Horse meat and faecal bacteria...

Faecal bacteria found in Ikea chocolate cakes.

After a shocking traces of horsemeat in their meatball, now Ikea will be faced with yet another nightmare -- faecal bacteria in their cakes. 

In one news revealed that health authorities in China have confiscated nearly two tonnes of chocolate cakes imported from Sweden by Ikea after finding high levels of bacteria commonly found in the human intestinal tract.

According to the Shanghai Daily, high levels of coliform bacteria were found in a shipment of Ikea's almond chocolate cakes, prompting authorities to seize and destroy 1.87 tonnes of the dessert. 

The shipment arrived in Shanghai from Sweden in January.
Coliform bacteria are universally present in large numbers in the faeces of warm-blooded animals and are commonly used bacterial indicator for testing the sanitary quality of foods and water.
Ikea officials have since pointed that the bacteria was not healthy
"We now know that it’s a coliform bacteria that’s not dangerous to people’s health, not as with E. Coli or anything similar," Sara Paulsson of Ikea told the TT news agency.
"But we’ll never know exactly which bacteria it is because the cakes have been destroyed."
The cakes have not been sold in Sweden.
The Ikea chocolate cakes were one of 247 different products from a range of suppliers that failed Chinese sanitation inspections, the Shanghai Daily reported.
"We buy chocolate from one supplier. That it's of high quality, that checks are carried out in all warehouses, and that rules are followed are obviously all important questions," Ikea spokeswoman Ylva Magnusson told TT.
The revelations that faecal bacteria were found in Ikea's chocolate cakes comes just a week after horsemeat was found in the company's Swedish meatballs, prompting a massive recall.
On Monday, the Sweden-based meatball supplier to Ikea stores in Europe said it had traced the horsemeat to a Swedish supplier with ties to slaughterhouses in Poland.
Speaking with the Aftonbladet newspaper, Magnusson emphasized Ikea's commitment to quality.
"It's important that products that might contain bacteria don't make it to customers," she said.
"The safety of our products is our highest priority."
Ikea has since been in contact with manufacturer Almondy to determine exactly where in the chain things turned sour.

Since Doha will see the first opening of IKEA store in Qatar with the official launching this coming 11th March, I'm wondering whether they'll be serving something Swedish or Arabic cum Indian.
Back in Malaysia people will hoards for their meatballs; horse meat meatball to be exact (now), and thank God I only crave for their curry puff and never consumed their meatballs or other food because one; I simply hate meatball for the altered taste of meat they carry, two; I dont go to IKEA to eat. 
Not forgetting IKEA had once rocked the Muslim consumer in Malaysia when the authority found their  sausage casing derived from pig intestine.

So we shall wait, what's next in store of IKEA who is famous for their flat board, cheap wood cabinets and user friendly fancy but never last long household items.

Sabah raped by self-claim Filipino royal clan.

Malaysia raids Sabah village to end deadlock.

Members of a Muslim royal clan who call themselves the Royal Sulu Army from southern Philippines landed in a coastal village in Sabah on February 9 to claim the territory as their own, citing ownership documents from the late 1800s.

         They ignored appeals from Philippine President Benigno Aquino III to leave
         immediately or face prosecution at home on charges of triggering armed conflict.

The group claimed that they made the decision to occupy the Sabah village in protest at the Philippine government's continued indifference to their claim.

And did they know that is not The Pirates of the Caribbean era anymore?....Get over it! Go find one of those tiny island surrounding your country and settle down with your clan.

Korean Horse a NO-NO

This is the reason why you don't invite a horse to stage any performances.
And this is the reason why Najib and the crew should feel they are making a fool of themselves by honouring a horse to festive events, and hopefully would not make same mistake again in the future.

The million and half or maybe more paid to the horse are a waste of money, taxpayers money; no matter whether he (Najib) insisted that it is not the coalition party's money. If it is not, then whose? Some donation from corporate sectors with interest?
Who are they. Im sure they'll be more than happy to list their names as contributors to the money bringing in the Korean horse to jump the stage.

Last word from me; serve them right!
  

Oh, puhleezs -- Get him outta here!

I read with not much interest that the overly overrated South Korea's Psy will performing his famous horsey dance (read this) also known worldwide as Gangnam Style dance at an event organised by Malaysia's ruling coalition party Barisan Nasional soon to commemorate the coming Chinese New Year celebration and perhaps as a stage of offering carrots to young Penangites hoping to win the coming most feared general election.

I'm not against what others might think as 'hey it's music'; 'it's happening' (well, my 6 year old daughter told me her mat sallehs school teacher played this song during PE) and certainly am not one of those people who keeps on clicking the Youtube that earned him the world breaking record of 1 billion hits last December.
But I cant understand his music and why MC Hammer didn't get as much recognition (obviously they have same music genre) and most of all his jumping, humping and lurid dance.

Or perhaps I just don't like his face.

A friend in the industry had once over a chat on this singer told me that this guy had a lot to ask for just a song. It seems for an appearance he is asking not lower than USD500,000.
That is lots of money MCA (one of the party in the BN coalition) going to giveaway because I do not think there would be any other organisation or music promoter willing enough to bring him down to Malaysia.

By having him perform, MCA and the organisers hope to attract some 60,000 people and it seems even the Prime Minister Najib Razak will attend the concert too.
Although MCA didn't indicate how much the cost of the whole event but anyone person in the industry can give a good guess.

So you Gangnam die hard -- book your hotel soon so you can catch your favourite singer humping the stage during the coming Chinese New Year!

Eggs + Urine = Chinese

DONGYANG, China (Reuters) - It's the end of a school day in the eastern Chinese city of Dongyang, and eager parents collect their children after a hectic day of primary school.

But that's just the start of busy times for dozens of egg vendors across the city, deep in coastal Zhejiang province, who ready themselves to cook up a unique springtime snack favored by local residents.
Basins and buckets of boys' urine are collected from primary school toilets. It is the key ingredient in "virgin boy eggs", a local tradition of soaking and cooking eggs in the urine of young boys, preferably below the age of 10.

There is no good explanation for why it has to be boys' urine, just that it has been so for centuries.

The scent of these eggs being cooked in pots of urine is unmistakable as people pass the many street vendors in Dongyang who sell it, claiming it has remarkable health properties.

"If you eat this, you will not get heat stroke. These eggs cooked in urine are fragrant," said Ge Yaohua, 51, who owns one of the more popular "virgin boy eggs" stalls.

"They are good for your health. Our family has them for every meal. In Dongyang, every family likes eating them."

It takes nearly an entire day to make these unique eggs, starting off by soaking and then boiling raw eggs in a pot of urine. After that, the shells of the hard-boiled eggs are cracked and they continue to simmer in urine for hours.

Vendors have to keep pouring urine into the pot and controlling the fire to keep the eggs from being overheated and overcooked.

Ge said he has been making the snack, popular due to its fresh and salty taste, for more than 20 years. Each egg goes for 1.50 yuan ($0.24), a little more than twice the price of the regular eggs he also sells.

Many Dongyang residents, young and old, said they believed in the tradition passed on by their ancestors that the eggs decrease body heat, promote better blood circulation and just generally reinvigorate the body.

"By eating these eggs, we will not have any pain in our waists, legs and joints. Also, you will have more energy when you work," said Li Yangzhen, 59, who bought 20 eggs from Ge.

The eggs are not bought only at street stalls. Local residents are also known to personally collect boys' urine from nearby schools to cook the delicacy in their homes.

The popularity of the treat has led the local government to list the "virgin boy eggs" as an intangible cultural heritage.
But not everyone is a fan. Chinese medical experts gave mixed reviews about the health benefits of the practice, with some warning about sanitary issues surrounding the use of urine to cook the eggs.

Some Dongyang residents also said they hated the eggs.

"We have this tradition in Dongyang that these eggs are good for our health and that it would help prevent things like getting a cold," said Wang Junxing, 38. "I don't believe in all this, so I do not eat them."

These Chinese will eat almost everything, no, correction, not almost everything -it's everything- moving on earth and under water, and like not enough of that, they savour human flesh, live monkey brains, drinking blood and urine. It wont be too much to say that Chinese are the most filthiest human race on earth and amazingly they got all the reason behind eating and drinking all the rubbish. It's for health purposes.
All you know they also might be consuming their own stool to stay perpetually young....dduuhhh.

One thing for sure, should there be one time when food are not available to the human race, they will definitely be one race that will survive the earth -- eating everything.
