BULL SHITS!!!

2 major BULL SHITS have happened in Malaysia recently.

First, DAP political aide Teoh Beng Hock was death and presumably caused by the MACC. Let examined the facts we know:

1. He was fell from MACC building, not in his home.
2. Some of his belonging is held by the MACC officers and part of his trouser was riped off
3. He just a small potatoes and was only useful to use as "witness" to bring down the big guns. By himself, he has little value.
4. Why MACC spend so much effort to investigate a RM2400 corruption case and ignoring Khir Toyol's multi millions corruption case?

So, what kind of BULL SHIT is happening in Malaysia now?

Second BULL SHIT, TDM still taking about racism again and accusing the non-malay taking away wealth from the malay. What a BULL, why not he clarified what and how much all the BN politicians have taken away from the people?

Malay or non-malay, who is really getting all the concessions from government? Corny, crony and corny. What the normal people like us has gained from this? Nothing, in fact, we are losing because all the concessions are subsided by our tax payers' money and just to remind you that all natural resources here are also belong to us, the people, the citizen. Not the politicians.

Are we, Malaysia citizen, still too stupid to realised the truth? Are we still caged in the "racist" paradigm? Malay are racist, and non-malay are equally racist. Are TDM have all forgotten what Islam taught him that all human being are equal before god?

So, the question is:
Are yous till have faith in politic? Believing in the Justice system? Believing in main stream medias? Believing in politicians?

Communist Party of Malaya

Yeah, our "smart" politician by the name Hisham has talked alot of the Chin Peng issue and why he should not be allowed to return home. But really, how much we really know about the people in CPM (Communist Party of Malaya)?

CPM has been portrait as chinese communist party but in fact, many senior leaders in CPM are malay. They has been demonized of killing and hurting civilians in the rural area, but the truth is just the opposite.

The main reason, Malaysia Government has established the initiative to relocated citizens to the new settlement area is because the rural is supportive toward CPM, regardless of races. They has been seen as the on fight for the people toward the British & Japanese.

Malaysia history book is full of bullshit. Don't even believe it for a moment, it lied about May 13 and it lied about CPM.

Spend sometime and start reading about CPM on wikipedia, know your history.

• Malayan Communist Party
• Chin Peng
• Abdullah CD
• Shamsiah Fakeh
• Rashid Maidin

Malaysia, an Islamic State?

There are endless argument of whether Malaysia is an Islamic State by the politicians. Many time the information passed out to the public is misleading and destructive.

In Malaysia Constitution, Malaysia can never be a Islamic State. This is similar to Indonesia, while with 90% Muslim in the country, Indonesia cannot declare itself an Islamic State because of it Republican root.

Then the brainless people just says we should amend the Constitution to make Malaysia an Islamic State. That will be a stupid things to do, it is just like replace the main pillars in your house without any plans and hope that your house will not collapse. The most probably scenario is Malaysia will be break into multiple countries if the Constitution is to be amend to that extend.

Then, the most important question is do you need to live inside an Islamic State to be a good Muslim? Or living in Islamic State to guaranteed your place in heaven? Why must we fighting on the status of the country and not working hard in our own personal life to be a better Muslim?

On the other hand, Malaysia and Indonesia are labeled as Islamic State by the western countries whether you like it or not. In any sense, the Islamic State status is less of matter of politic or constitutional, but rather the spread of Islam itself. So, stop politicking on the Islamic State issue.

What? Zamry is the Perak MB?

YES, the Court of Appeal has ruled that High Court ruling is invalid. What a bullshit, even the Joe on the street know that MB cannot be removed other than his resign on his own or via vote of no confident. Since YB Nizar did not resign on his own, then the only way he can be remove is through vote of no confident, but we all know that that did not happened. So, how can Zamry be the Perak MB?

Whatever happened in the Appeal Court, it just proved that there are no independent judicial system in Malaysia. Remember what happened when YB Anwar Ibrahim was "convicted" last time? The voters are all go against the government.

So, please keep on playing with fire. Malaysian citizen is silent now but it do not mean that we don't care. Just wait till election when the voters can flex their muscles.

Day Trip to Cameron Highland

In April, I actually visited Cameron Highland thru the new highway via Simpang Pulai. It is a pleasure to drive on comparing the old road which has numerous numbers of sharp turning. In addition, the view is amazing.

Kelantan VS Selangor

Below is some pictures from the FA Cup final in Stadium Bukit Jalilon 25th April 2009. There are approximately 80,000 people attended the match.

Both team are scoreless until OT, Kelantan scored 1 goal but then Selangor managed to scored and tied the game.

In the end, Kelantan lost to Selangor in Penalty by 1:4

Racism in Malaysian

Malaysian are racist, too racist, Malaysia government even endorsed racism. Politicians are making racist and sexist comments all the time and they are getting away with it. No surprise, since the foundation of the political parties are mostly race based.

But it get worse than that, how many time we have seen in the newspaper that the job positions or tenders are only restricted to certain race? Too many, infact it happened very day, just flip open you today newspaper, I am guaranteed you that you found at least a dozen.


Let me remind you that the racism in Malaysia has nothing to do with religion. Islam, Chrisianity, Buddhist, Hindusim and all other religions are against racism, but people are using it for political and personal gain.

Politicians like too been seen as religious and it is one of the corner stone to qualify as good leader. However, on the other hand they are making all kind of racist comments which is greatly against religion principle. Hypocrisy, of course, but it seem that most Malaysian are happily accepting it and even believing it. Can you tell people that you are good Muslim, good Christian and good whatever when you are hypocritical and acting totally in the opposite manner?

You be the judge ......

Why TMNet Throttle P2P?

Actually, the question should be why TMNet throttle P2P? It is really like what they claim that P2P download slowing down the internet connections?

The true answer is NO, it is not because it slow down the internet but rather the TMNet is unwilling to pay for the bandwidth. TMNet is paying for the bandwidth and since they can't control HTTP as it is the main protocol uses for web browsing; also, they cannot control streaming video and multimedia either. So the logical step is to control P2P to boost their earning.

According to article of interview with Danny McPherson, CTO of Arbor Networks, 70% of the internet traffic is on HTTP while about 20% is using P2P. If you do the math, if TMNet stop P2P totally, they actually saving the bandwidth cost and in term increase their earning by 20%. On the hand, if they claimed that P2P slow down the internet, it is true in certain sense but not till the point that it happened on TMNet network. It is no doubt that TMNet is having problem but refused to admit it and just take the easy way out and start blaming the users.

Have you ever wonder, what kind of corporation will blame the customers of their inefficiency and incapability? TMNet really earning themselves a bad rep. Monopoly is never good thing for the consumer, this real life incident has proven it again.

TMNET Streamyx Sucks, BIG TIME

Streamyx is the broadband offer in Malaysia, and it is basically the monopoly of the ISP as part of of the Telekom Malaysia. But monopoly never ever provide good service. How bad is the services of Streamyx? Ask anyone on KL street, they will tell you all about it.



IF you are unsatisfied with the Streamyx service, post the Streamyx Sucks Banner in your blog, website, email, MMS, anything, to express your anger.




IF you have a facebook account, join the facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6562989046

Let all Malaysian help to promote the bad reputation of TMNUT to the international.

Have you ever seen rice that have been left out for 3 months?

Have you ever seen rice that left out for 3 months? Here is your chance to see how it look like:


The rice was cooked sometime at Dec 2008 and I have totally forgotten it. It is dumb, stupid and lazy me that never bother to check when cleaning up the kitchen.

Yeah, the white rice was turn into liquid form and it was black in colour.

There are maggots crawling inside and it is horrify to see.

Close up shoot of the Mr. Maggots

Now, you can't even differential the dried rice from maggots.

I need to buy a brand new rice cooker and will not be eating rice for a while.

The moral of the story is always clean up your act before you forget, else it will come back to haunt you. Advice from the dumb lazy me.
