Dan malam ini, Faizal Tahir sekali lagi mengamamkan penonton Malaysia dengan gimik bermain piano dalam keadaan piano itu sedang TERBAKAR!!! Wahh Hebat Sungguh. Kali ini juga Faizal Tahir tidak memakai cermin mata hitam!!!

HAFIZ ketika menyanyikan lagu AWAN NANO.

Gimik : Sebelum memulakan nyanyian. ada klip video pendek dimana Hafiz bertengkar dengan bapanya. Selepas itu Hafiz menyanyikan lagu agung karya M.

Berikut senarai penuh 12 Lagu yang bertanding dalam final Anugerah Juara Lagu, AJL ke 26 siaran dan terbitan TV3 di Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil pada Ahad 29 Januari 2012, mulai 9 malam.



Sungai Lui - Aizat Amdan (lagu ni melodinya OK, namun tak sampai ke tahap boleh juara AJL)

Awan Nano - Hafiz (LAgu yang amat meruntun perasaan, kali pertama dengar lagu ni pun saya dah rasa dan percaya, ini antara lagu teragung yang pernah dicipta M. Nasir)



Kisah Hati - Alyah (Lagu yang amat hebat, direkodkan di Malaysia dan mastering albumnya di Australia. Alyah menang persembahan terbaik lagu ini selepas gimik clown dan Alyah menyanyi di mini pentas yang berpusing)



Kalau Berpacaran - Shohaimi Mior Hassan/Ana Raffali/Altimet (lagu ini catchy, namun terlalu simple untuk dinobatkan juara Lagu) Namun mesejnya amat baik, kalau berpacaran tidak boleh pegang pegang, nanti bahaya!!


Beribu Sesalan - Ning Baizura/Jaclyn Victor/Shila Amzah (sudah lama kita tak dengar lagu semerdu ini, layak mendapat tempat ke 2 AJL 26)



Wanita Seluruh Dunia - Projek Pistol (boleh tahan, namun tahniah ke final)

Dan saya rasa vokal penyanyi Project Pistol lebih kurang sama dengan vokal kumpulan dari UK, Right Said Fred yang popular suatu ketika dulu dengan lagu I'm too sexy.



Karma - Faizal Tahir (lagu hebat, kelas gitu, memang layak tempat ke 3)



Kekanda Adinda - Atilia & Monoloque (lagu ni terlalu simple, tak boleh juara) Namun saya amat menyukai penyanyi wanita ini, Atilia kerana bagi saya dia amat cute!!



Gadis Semasa - Yuna (hebat namun tidak sehebat Awan Nano, try again Yuna)



Penakut - Yuna (vokal Yuna hebat, lagu juga hebat, namun tewas juga, why?)




Sedetik Lebih - Jaclyn Victor (vokalnya amat mantap, namun tewas juga. Penyanyi asal lagu ini ialah Anuar Zain, namun entah mengapa Anuar Zain menyerahkan tugas menyanyi lagu itu kepada Jaclyn Victor) Namun ada juga buah tangan untuk pencipta lagu ini iaitu Edry Abdul Halim (adik beradik KRU) apabila lagu ini dinobatkan juara lagu paling banyak didownload, muat turun sebagai nada dering.



Cinta Muka Buku - Najwa Latif (percubaan baik dari remaja 16 tahun ini, lagu ini amat catchy dan popular di kalangan remaja di seluruh Malaysia, masa depan yang amat cerah untuk Najwa Latif kerana dia bisa dan mampu mencipta lagu yang sangat popular ini. Esok jangan lupa ke sekolah ya Najwa)

Segera hadirnya memayungi diri

Pabila kau dahaga
Sesegera turun hujan melimpahkan kasihnya
Pabila kau katakan
Akulah awan itu yang kau mahu

Setia tiada tara
Bagaimanapun jua

Awan kekasih sebenarmu sayang
Walaupun tak akan tercapai jejarimu

Lihat diriku ini
Yang sesekali pernah kau bagaikan awan
Sehingga tak mungkin terlupa
Berikan belas sedari dulu

Sehingga tak mungkin termampu saksi
Setitis pun air matamu kasihku
Sehingga kau katakan
Akulah awan itu yang kau rindu

Akulah awanmu yang sedia
Melindungi dirimu tika panas mencuba menggores pipi
Dan bibirmu

Akulah awanmu yang sering kau rindu
Dan tak terduga hadirmu walau tak tercapai jejarimu

Kasihku
Kasih tiada banding setia tiada tara
Bagaimanapun jua
Aku pelindung dirimu sayang
Walaupun tak akan tercapai jejarimu

Begitulah awan nano
Setia melindungi diri tika panas mencuba menggores pipi
Dan bibirmu

Begitulah awan nano
Sering saja tak terduga hadir
Dan tak akan tercapai jejarimu

Kasihku
Kasih tiada banding setia tiada tara
Bagaimanapun jua
Aku pelindung dirimu sayang
Walaupun tak akan tercapai jejarimu

The self proclaimed Emperor of Indonesia who claims to be the richest person on Earth with 5 Trillion Euros!!

“This means that 86.7% of the world's money belongs to me,” he said.
The crazy guy who is also known as Raden Mas Prabhu Gusti Agung Ki Asmoro Wijoyo, who claimes to be the Emperor of Indonesia and has 5 Trillion Euros in Cash!!!!!!!!!!!

As written by Philip Golingai, The Star

A Tanjung Malim, Perak, Malaysa -born Dutch citizen claims he is a descendent of the Emperor of China and that his bloodline is linked to royal families in India, Java and Siam.

IT is not every day that you get to meet a trillionaire. So when I was invited to interview Kamal Ashnawi, a person I've never heard of, I said yes.

On Saturday morning, 21st January 2012, at a Kuala Lumpur hotel coffee house together with two of Kamal's aides, I waited for the so-called trillionaire.

Wearing a baseball cap, long-sleeved shirt and jeans, he sauntered over to our table. The two aides bowed, pressed their palms together to their forehead as if greeting royalty and kissed his hands.

“We call him Tuanku as he is a sultan from Indonesia,” one of the aides whispered to me.

According to Kamal, he is a Dutch citizen born in Tanjung Malim, Perak, on January 1st, 1964.

“I'm a descendent of the Emperor of China and in a history that went haywire, my family fled from China to Kedah. I traced my bloodline to the royal families of China, India, Java and Siam,” claimed the man who is also known as Raden Mas Prabhu Gusti Agung Ki Asmoro Wijoyo.

“I grew up in Tanjung Malim and my family here is very simple and ordinary. Nobody in my family talks about our royal blood and wealth. But my grandmother once told me: “You are special and, when the time comes, you will know.”

It was in Holland in the late 1980s that Kamal “found out who he really was”. A member of an Indonesian royal family, kicked out of the country by president Sukarno, told him he was of royal blood.

In London in the early 1990s, a lawyer told Kamal about his royal family's massive wealth. Unconvinced, he told the lawyer to prove his claims.

He and the lawyer flew from London to Hong Kong to meet the “keeper of the royal treasure”. From there, Kamal and the keeper travelled to Kunming in China.

They hiked up a mountain for four hours and reached a cave guarded by an old couple who, Kamal says, are immortals.

“If you tried to pass them without their blessing, you would cough blood and die,” he said.

Inside the three-metre-high cave, Kamal saw gold bars stacked like a pagoda, US$15 million (RM46million) in jade and US$10 million (RM31 million) in diamonds and stacks of US dollars.

“I took a gold bar and knocked it on a rock. It was really gold. The treasure is the wealth of the dynasties that ruled China. Their wealth was also kept in other mountains and in vaults all over the world,” he said.

About three years ago, when Kamal watched Nicholas Cage's movie National Treasure, he laughed.

“The treasure in the movie was small compared to the wealth I saw in the mountain,” he said.

Next, Kamal told of his meeting two years ago in Kuala Lumpur with Dr Wong Eng Po, a royal physician from China.

Dr Wong placed his hand on Kamal's bald head, then immediately bowed in front of Kamal and ordered his five followers to do the same.

“He said I was the reincarnation of Emperor Nurhaci (1661-1626) of China. He felt an energy on my head which was superhuman because an emperor, unlike an ordinary human, has to think more.

“I'm the reincarnation of two emperors of China,” Kamal added.

He elaborated that a few years ago, the royal family decided he would be the sole administrator of the royal wealth kept in secret accounts in about 1,000 banks worldwide.

“This means that 86.7% of the world's money belongs to me,” he said.

Taking out several folders, Kamal said: “You're lucky, I brought documents.”

He produced an A4-sized paper with the photographs of the national treasure, the immortal couple and several “official-looking” letters allegedly from HSBC certifying he has an account of five trillion euros (RM20 trillion).

“That is a small amount. I have more money in other banks and institutions,” he added.

I wondered why his name has not appeared in the Forbes' list of world's richest people. And a suspicion lingered about his claims.

However, I could not authenticate his documents since the bank was closed for Chinese New Year.

Kamal has not made any withdrawal from the account as “it is not money that you can move just like that”.

“The money is under the control of Indonesia, Germany, Britain, the US and the Euro Central Bank and I've got to go smooth with them,” he said.

“I can't use the money directly but I will invest in certain projects. Like three trillion euros (RM12 trillion) to green a desert in China.” (only a true lunatic will say things like that!!!!!!)

Curious, I asked what was the difference between a billionaire and a trillionaire.

He replied: “A billionaire needs to show he has the money. But for me, I don't need to show that I got money. I can travel in a bus. I can wear slippers.”

Born in the year of the dragon, Kamal believes 2012 is his year. In March, he says he will negotiate with institutions such as the IMF to be recognised as the Emperor of Indonesia.

He says he's rich. But his story could just be as rich.

Let's hope he is not another Elie Youssef Najem, the so-called Lebanese billionaire who made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Perompak Bank di Brazil, tertembak kaki sendiri

Dia berpakaian seperti koboi lengkap dengan topi Cowboy dan dilengkapi 2 pistol.

Itu gelagat seorang perompak bank di Parana, Brazil yang merompak sebuah bank bersama 2 rakan.

Namun kebodohannya kerana tertembak kaki sendiri menyebabkan perompak itu berjaya ditahan polis, tidak lama selepas itu.

Inilah perompak bodoh versi zaman moden!!

Dumb Brazilian robber, shot himself and later caught

Sexy female tennis player, Jelena Dokic, she is always pleasureable to watch

When you think of Tennis, think of Jelena Dokic, the super sexy female tennis pro from Serbia who was born in April 1983.

This beauty stands at 5 feet 7 inches and is beautiful in all aspects.

The highlights of Dokić's career include reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon and the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and reaching the quarterfinals at the French Open in 2002 and the Australian Open in 2009. Other highlights include beating several former World No. 1 players.

But to me, the real highlight is her beauty and sexiness!!

All the best Jelena Dokic.

Protestors trapped Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard in a restaurant in Canberra, she lost a shoe while escaping the mob!! 26th January 2012

Here, Gillard already lost her shoe.








Julia Gillard clung to her bodyguard as she was dragged off her feet away from a crowd of angry protesters in Canberra today, Thursday 26th January 2012.



This lucky protestor is now the proud owner of Gillard's shoe



In extraordinary scenes, riot police were called in and formed a shield around the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard as she made a hasty escape outside a citizenship ceremony.

Dramatic footage showed the flustered PM losing her shoe as her security escort ran a gauntlet through about 200 protesters from The Lobby restaurant near Old Parliament House — where Gillard had been handing out medals to emergency services representatives — to her car waiting outside.

The group had trapped Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott inside the restaurant until dozens of extra police, including the riot squad, were called to the scene shortly after 2.30pm (AEDT).

Protesters had been taking part in an event to mark the 40th anniversary of the nearby Aboriginal Tent Embassy when they surrounded The Lobby restaurant and banged on the three glass sides, chanting "shame" and "racist".

The two leaders, protected by police and security officers, escaped out a side door after about 20 minutes.

Protesters chased their car down the road, banging on its roof and bonnet.

The embassy was celebrating a 40-year milestone with a three-day "Corroboree for Sovereignty" with thousands of indigenous Australians travelling to Canberra for the occasion.

Tensions boiled over following comments Mr Abbott made in Sydney earlier in the day.

Mr Abbott said he understood why the tent embassy was set up "all those years ago".

"I think a lot has changed for the better since then," he told reporters.

"I think the indigenous people of Australia can be very proud of the respect in which they are held by every Australian.

"I think a lot has changed since then, and I think it probably is time to move on from that."

For many Aboriginal people Australia Day is considered Invasion Day.

Earlier on Wednesday afternoon embassy founder Michael Anderson addressed a rally at the site.

"To hell with the government and the courts in this country. You haven't got a high hope to take us on," he said.

"We will force these issues.

"Too many of our families have suffered for some bastard to get in the road."

There were false reports Ms Gillard had been tackled by protesters as she was escorted to her commonwealth car.

A spokesman for the prime minister said Ms Gillard slipped as she was leaving the building.

Activists from the tent embassy accused Mr Abbott of inciting racial riots with his earlier comments.

Michael Anderson said the comments were disrespectful.

"He said the Aboriginal embassy had to go, we heard it on a radio broadcast," he told AAP.

"We thought no way, so we circled around the building."

He said the protesters wanted the leaders to clarify their position and whether Mr Abbott was serious about removing the embassy.

"You've got 1000 people here peacefully protesting and to make a statement about tearing down the embassy - it's just madness on the part of Tony Abbott," Mr Anderson said.

"What he said amounts to inciting racial riots."

Sabah Chief Minister, Chinese New Year Message 2012

The Chief Minister of Sabah and the state cabinet members, wishing everybody a joyous and prosperous Chinese New Year 2012.

On behalf of my wife Faridah Haji Tussin, our family and the Sabah State Government, I wish to extend Chinese New Year greetings to the Chinese community in Sabah, and the rest of Malaysia. As we welcome the Lunar New Year, we are reminded of the goodwill and unity that is embedded in Malaysia. Our willingness and ability to work as one despite being so diverse has continued to become Malaysia’s pillar of progress and growth.

As we welcome the Year of the Dragon, I am pleased that we are able to celebrate Chinese New Year in a nation that continues to remain peaceful. As a melting pot of cultures and traditions, Malaysians are united and celebrate all festivities by extending greetings and by visiting one another at open houses. This is the true spirit of 1Malaysia, and I am pleased to note that this open house tradition is thriving despite us moving towards becoming a developed nation. By remaining true to our cultures and traditions, Malaysians will be balanced in their approach to progress and growth, which can threaten to erode age old customs and practices in the quest for modernity.

As we move into the New Year, we must take stock of our achievements in the past year, and evaluate how we can improve on challenges that we were faced with. This holds true for personal growth and also for progress of the various government, private and non-government establishments. On a larger scale, let us strive towards working together in bringing stronger growth for Sabah.

We are continuing to see progress in several sectors of the economy – notably oil and gas, palm oil and tourism. For us to succeed in these and other sectors of the economy, we must have the ability to be innovative and to think out of the box in driving investments. This includes creating a knowledgeable and skilled work force. I am pleased to note that tertiary education is expanding in Sabah via specialized institutes of higher education that are now spread out in different parts of the State. These include the Sandakan Education Hub and the Kimanis Petroleum Training Centre. I am confident that more skills centres will be introduced in the near future, offering locals quality education at their doorstep. I wish to encourage Malaysians in Sabah to take up opportunities at these institutes of higher education.

The Barisan Nasional Government is one that cares for Malaysians regardless of background. One fine example is the disbursement of a one-off payment of RM500 for households that earn RM3,000 and below through the Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M). It is however unfortunate that some quarters choose to keep on criticizing the Government for all of its efforts, and I wish to urge Malaysians in Sabah to disregard allegations that the Government is insincere in helping the rakyat. The Government will remain committed in its plans to assist Malaysians through a number of initiatives.


I am also pleased to share that Federal Government led initiatives such as the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) are well on track and are showing the desired results. These programmes that encompass diverse sectors of the economy, and in the process strengthening the delivery system, are propelling our economy to compete globally. The Sabah State Government is committed to meeting aspirations of these initiatives, and I wish to call on Malaysians in Sabah to support these innovative programmes.

As we progress into the Tenth Malaysia Plan and the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC), the Government will continue to plan and implement timely projects with the overall aim of uplifting standards of living. Emphasis on vital infrastructure, such as roads and schools, are always on the agenda as we strive to bridge regional imbalances within Sabah. We are also always open to listening to issues raised by the business and trade community in Sabah, and to work with them in finding solutions, some of which require consultations with the Federal Government. Let me assure you that the State Government is one that listens.

I would like to take this opportunity to reassure the Chinese community in Sabah of our continuous support towards the growth of Chinese schools, temples and cultural activities. The Federal Government had in the Budget for 2012 announced an allocation of RM100 million for Chinese schools, proving that the Government is fair to all communities. On its part, the Sabah State Government will continue to disburse financial aid for Chinese schools and temples, the way we have done for many years now. We also support Chinese non-governmental organisations such as the Federation of Chinese Associations Sabah (FCAS) and the Sabah United Chinese Chambers of Commerce (SUCCC) for the advancement of activities and programmes that further strengthen Chinese culture in our state.

During this festive season, let us remember the less fortunate. I am pleased corporate organisations and other groups have shared festive cheer by visiting and assisting those in need. I also wish to extend my appreciation to security forces who work hard during festive seasons to make sure that our state and nation remains safe. We remain indebted to then for the sacrifices that they make.

Let us all remain united and continue to live in harmony as we celebrate Chinese New Year. I hope that the New Year brings more prosperity and peace to the nation. Gong Xi Fa Chai.

Thank you.

Puteri UMNO cabar Anwar Ibrahim buktikan undang undang sodomi/liwat sudah lapuk dan tidak relevan di Malaysia yang agama rasminya Islam

KENYATAAN AKHBAR YB DATUK ROSNAH ABDUL RASHID SHIRLIN KETUA PERGERAKAN PUTERI UMNO MALAYSIA - 18 Januari 2012

Pergerakan Puteri UMNO mencabar Ketua Pembangkang, Anwar Ibrahim membuktikan
bagaimana undang-undang sodomi itu boleh dikatakan lapuk dan tidak relevan terutamanya di Malaysia yang agama rasminya Islam. Anwar juga dicabar supaya membuktikan bahawa kenyataannya itu bukan bertujuan menyokong amalan gay baik di Malaysia mahu pun di negara-negara lain di dunia.

Undang-undang jenayah jelas menyenaraikan liwat atau sodomi sebagai satu jenayah dan boleh dihukum sehingga 20 tahun penjara, dan ia bukan diguna pakai di Malaysia sahaja sebaliknya negara-negara lain turut menguatkuasakan undang-undang tersebut.

Kenyataan Anwar itu hakikatnya amat mengaibkan umat Islam apatah lagi diucapkan oleh seorang pemimpin yang sentiasa dijulang kononnya berimejkan Islam malah baru-baru ini disifatkan sebagai pemimpin yang bakal menyatukan dunia Islam.

Begitukah rupanya pemimpin yang layak menyatukan dunia Islam sedangkan dia sendiri sanggup menghalalkan apa yang terang-terangan diharamkan agama. Jika orang Islam sendiri mengatakan undang-undang sodomi itu sudah lapuk, apa hukumnya dari sudut kaca mata Islam? 

Pergerakan Puteri UMNO juga mencabar rakan-rakan Anwar yang terdiri daripada ulama besar di dalam Pas seperti Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang dan Datuk Seri Nik Aziz Nik Mat supaya menyatakan pendirian mereka tentang kenyataan Anwar itu. Malah barisan kepimpinan Pas juga mesti menyatakan pendirian mereka tentang amalan gay yang semakin berleluasa di negara ini sama ada mereka merestui perbuatan tersebut atau sebaliknya. 

Pemimpin Pas tidak boleh berdiam diri seperti mana sekarang ini kerana dengan berdiam diri mereka boleh saja dianggap bersetuju dengan kenyataan Anwar sekali gus menyokong amalan seks songsang. Pergerakan Puteri UMNO semakin bimbang dengan cubaan secara terang-terangan Anwar Ibrahim menyokong amalan songsang seks sejenis yang pastinya dialu-alukan oleh golongan gay di negara ini.

Pertanyaan Puteri kepada Anwar adakah kenyataannya tentang undang-undang sodomi yang dikatakan lapuk itu bertujuan meraih sokongan golongan gay yang semakin bercambah sekarang ini? Dan adakah beliau juga mahu menghalalkan amalan seks songsang di kalangan masyarakat di Malaysia sehingga undang-undang yang berkaitan dengan amalan itu dikatakan lapuk?

Yang Ikhlas,

YB Datuk Rosnah Binti Haji Abd Rashid Shirlin
( Ketua Pergerakan Puteri UMNO Malaysia )

Lelaki maut akibat mercun di Taman Seputih, Luyang, Kota Kinabalu

Tragedi tahun Baru Cina untuk keluarga ini di Luyang, Kota Kinabalu pada malam Tahun baru Cina 22 Januari 2012. Kelihatan Polis Kota Kinabalu sedang melakukan siasatan di tempat kejadian pada jam 12.30 malam.



Mayat Shaow Yong, 26 tahun sedang dimasukkan ke trak polis. Tragiknya beberapa jam sebelum itu, mangsa ceria makan besar tradisi bersama keluarga termasuk bersama isterinya yang baru dikahwini Disember 2011 lalu.

Malang sememangnya tidak berbau. Mercun boleh membunuh.

Kegembiraan meraikan Tahun Baru Cina pertama sebagai suami bertukar tragedi bagi sebuah keluarga di Taman Seputeh, Luyang dekat Kota Kinabalu.

Shaow Young terbunuh serta merta selepas kepalanya hancur akibat letupan mercun terkena mukanya.

Shaow Yong, sebelum itu dikatakan membakar mercun di luar rumah keluarganya itu, kira-kira jam 12.30 tengah malam pada malam tahun Baru 22 Januari 2012.

Sebelum kejadian itu, mangsa yang bekerja sebagai penjual kuih di Foh Sang, Luyang, dikatakan menikmati makan malam tradisi bersama isteri dan ahli keluarga lain bagi meraikan kedatangan Tahun Baru Cina.

Ketua Polis Daerah Kota Kinabalu, Asisten Komisioner Ahmad Sofi Zakaria, berkata Shaow Yong kemudian keluar membakar mercun di luar rumah.

Mercun pertama yang dibakarnya dikatakan terbang ke udara sebelum meletup dan mengeluarkan warna warni yang menakjubkan.

Namun mercun kedua yang dibakarnya, tidak meletup.

Apabila mercun yang dibakarnya tidak memberi tindak balas, mangsa dipercayai memeriksa dari dekat. Bagaimanapun, mercun itu tiba-tiba meletup tepat ke mukanya.

Keluarga mangsa yang terkejut mendengar bunyi kuat bergegas keluar rumah dan menemui Shaow Yong dalam keadaan tidak bernyawa dengan separuh daripada kepalanya hancur, kata ACP Ahmad Sofi.

Kes diklasifikasikan sebagai mati mengejut, manakala mayat mangsa dihantar ke Hospital Queen Elizabeth (QEH), Kota Kinabalu untuk bedah siasat.

Ahmad Sofi menegaskan, pemilikan mercun dan bunga api adalah menyalahi undang-undang mengikut Akta Bahan Letupan 1957.

Rest in Peace.

Strange noise heard from the sky of Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, January 11-12, 2012

(From left) Harith, Ferdauz and Mahmud listen to a recording made by Harith when the incidents happened.



The mysterious snoring sound, captured in Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia in the wee hours of January 11 and 12, 2012

KOTA SAMARAHAN, Sarawak, East Malaysia :

This is eerie and frightening.

Unexplained chilling sounds, which filled the air of Samarahan in the wee hours of January 11 and 12, 2012 have residents there puzzled and perturbed until today.

One of the theories being thrown into the pan is that it could be a by-product of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Programme (HAARP) undertaken by the United States, while others believed it were from processing machines hard at work at an oil palm factory owned by Felcra in Kampung Endap.

But the fact remains that until today the mysterious sounds, which some say resembled loud snoring sounds, remain veiled.

Teacher Mohd Ferdauz Jemain, who lives at Kampung Meranek, was one of those who heard the unexplained phenomenon on Jan 11.

“It was around 2 am when I was awoken by a strange sound. It was a loud hushing sound, and quite similar to someone snoring.

“I immediately got out of bed and went outside of my house to see what was happening. The feeling was a chilling one. I could not establish where the sound was coming from … it was as if something coming from the sky.

“Frightened, I quickly dashed inside, but stayed awake till daylight as I would not sleep any longer. If I am not mistaken, the sound persisted until about 5am.”

To prove that he was not spinning a tale, Ferdauz said he had recorded the phenomenon on his mobile phone, and he played it for thesundaypost reporter yesterday.

He added that the matter became a hot topic of discussion in Samarahan that day, and
some of the residents even documented their experience on Facebook.

“Villagers in Meranek, Pinang, Sindang, Tambirat and even those living at Desa Ilmu housing estate have also heard those eerie sounds.”

Several residents suggested that it could have come from the oil palm factory in Kampung Endap, but resident Harith Amin, who had worked at that factory previously, brushed it off as nonsense.

“The factory has been there for the last eight years, and I am sure it was not sounds produced by the machines there. In addition to that, no oil palm processing machines could produce sounds which could be heard 8km away,” said Harith, who also made a recording of what he had witnessed.

To verify Harith’s theory, Ferdauz decided that should the phenomenon occur again the next day, he would make a dash for the factory.

Ferdauz: “I worked at a school in Sebuyau, so I wake up very early to go to school. True enough, the strange sounds happened the next day, and I quickly made a stop in front of the factory. No sounds came out from there (factory).”

Ferdauz claimed that he also saw strange pattern in the skies in the early morning of January 12, 2012.

“The clouds appeared to be in straight lines, and well formed. I have never seen anything like it, but whatever it is, I am sure there must be a scientific explanation for it.

“But later that day, an earthquake hit Sumatera in neighbouring Indonesia with a magnitude of 7.3 on the Richter scale. I am not sure whether both incidents are related in some ways.”

The incidents only occurred for two nights – Jan 11 and 12.

Meanwhile, Kampung Meranek’s JKKK chairperson Mahmud Pawi, who claimed that he also heard the sounds together with his family, said hoped that the authorities concerned could shed light on the matter.

“When I woke up that morning (Jan 11), I had goose bumps just listening to the sounds. I quickly woke up my entire family and we sat at the veranda trying to figure out what it was and where it was coming from.

“We hope that someone can step forward and enlighten us with an explanation.”

God.. what is that sound?

Malaysian rapist and murderer who fled to Australia, finally arrested after 6 years on the run.

For six years, the Malaysian police kept an eye on all airports and entry points in Malaysia for a businessman who fled the country after the gruesome rape and murder of a young woman.

When the businessman in his 30s finally returned on Tuesday evening, 17th January 2012, the long arm of the law was waiting for him at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Policemen arrested the man, took him to the magistrate’s court and obtained a seven-day remand order to facilitate investigations into the murder of Chee Gaip Yap.

The 25-year-old marketing executive was raped and brutally stabbed while jogging in the neighbourhood of Taman Ria Jaya at 2.35am on January 15, 2006.

The suspect, who holds Australian permanent residence status, had been on the police wanted list since 2006 when they found that his DNA sample matched the DNA found on the victim.

By the time police went to his house, he had fled the country.

Kedah CID chief Assistant Commissioner Zakaria Ahmad confirmed the arrest.

He said police had never closed the unsolved murder case and reviewed it every two months.

“We have been working with our counterparts at all airports and entry points. We hope that with the arrest, we will be able to solve the case,” he said.

It was believed that Chee, a Universiti Utara Malaysia graduate, could have been tailed by her assailant, kidnapped and taken elsewhere to be raped and killed before her body was dumped near the housing estate.

It was reported that 12 people were arrested to facilitate investigations into the case. However, all of them were released as there was no evidence to link them to the murder.

The victim’s father Chee Ah Sau, 56, praised the police for the arrest.

“We have waited a long time for the case to be solved. I hope justice will prevail,” he said.

Congratulations to the Malaysian Cop. Bravo!!

Only in China, Bride raped while husband took photographs of the rape

This is not the Bride.

Believe it or not. This could only happen in China, a land of 1 billion people.

International media reported that a bride in China was raped by a man after her wedding dinner while her husband took photographs of the vicious and horrendous attack.

The photographs were then uploaded online and they went viral.

Many netizens called the husband a “beast” and said they wanted to launch a hunt for him. I also want to hunt for him and kill him, as simple as that because that husband is a beast, not a human being.

It was reported that the bride was drunk after the wedding dinner. She had walked into the bedroom to find the man and her husband in there.

The man then went on to rape the bride and instead of stopping him, the husband took photographs of them.

Screw him..!!!

NFC - Shahrizat sues PKR strategic director, Ampang MP for RM 100 million

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil who is currently on a 3 week leave over the National Feedlot Project, NFC, issue, filed a RM 100 million defamation suit on Thursday 19 January 2012 against parti Keadilan Rakyat, PKR Wanita chief Zuraida Kamaruddin and PKR director of strategy Mohd Rafizi Ramli over alleged defamatory statements against her in relation to the NFC issue.

She filed the suit at the Civil High Court Registry at about 3pm through law firm Messrs Shafee & Co.

Shahrizat, currently on three weeks' leave to facilitate investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) into the NFC controversy, is claiming RM50 million as general damages and another RM50 million for aggravated and exemplary damages from both defendants.

She is also seeking an injunction to restrain the defendants from making further statements, whether oral or by way of publication, against her in connection with any matter related to the National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd or associated companies.

She is also seeking legal cost and further reliefs deemed fit by the court.

In the statement of claim, Shahrizat stated that at all times, she did not hold any position with the NFC and both defendants had started holding press conferences at various locations, slandering NFC, her husband Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail and family.

The Wanita Umno chief claimed that the defendants had systematically and maliciously launched a campaign to "attack, discredit, malign and defame the plaintiff" by spreading vicious, slanderous and libelous allegations against her.

She added that the first defendant (Mohd Rafizi) had authored and published various articles in his blog www.rafiziramli.com.

Shahrizat claimed that the said articles were understood to mean that she had committed some serious legal or moral transgressions and that she was involved in the award process of the feedlot project to NFC.

She also claimed that the second defendant (Zuraida) had issued various libelous statements via press statements reported in the mainstream media and as well as in the official news website of PKR www.keadilandaily.com.

Shahrizat contended that the second defendant had expressed and implied knowledge and with the intention that her words would be published and repeated in the media.

She strongly believed that Zuraida's words meant that NFC could not have obtained the National Feedlot Project if not for the fact she (Shahrizat) was the Umno Wanita chief or a cabinet minister.

As a result of the wide circulation and publication by both defendants, the plaintiff contended she been seriously defamed, suffered considerable loss, hurt and embarrassment to her good name as a person, politician, minister and Wanita Umno chief.

Sharizat's counsel Datuk Seri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah told reporters that his client strongly felt that the culture of impunity in relation to making defamatory statements and rumour mongering must stop.

Previously PKR accussed the NFC top management of using company funds to pay credit card bills amounting to RM593,500 in 2009.

PKR strategic director Rafizi Ramli claimed that NFC’s executive chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mohamed Salleh Ismail and his three children, who hold positions in NFC, had each spent between RM10,200 and RM15,210 a month on their credit cards.

However, in an immediate reaction, NFC executive director Wan Shahinur Izmir Salleh said these were corporate cards for business expenses.

“They are not personal expenses as alleged,” he said.

Earlier, Rafizi said PKR would lodge a police report on the credit card expenditure at Dang Wangi police station.

Dr Mohamed Salleh is the husband of Shahrizat.

Rafizi also questioned a statement made by NFC chief executive officer Wan Shahinur Izran Salleh that it was still “business as usual” at NFC despite the announcement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak that the corporation’s assets had been frozen pending investigation.

Meanwhile, in another development, NFC executive director Wan Shahinur Izmir Salleh denied a blogger’s claim that the company’s directors were receiving huge salaries.

He said the relevant authorities had information on their payroll and bank statements.

He said: “The highly exaggerated figures first emerged from a mysterious prank blogger and his erroneous post continues to be picked up by the public.”

On Saturday, 14th January 2012, the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak said the NFC's assets have been frozen for the time being following MACC's probe on the company.

He also said that he had asked Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Noh Omar to study how best the NFC issue can be resolved.

He described the decision taken by Shahrizat to take a three-week's leave from her ministerial duties as appropriate.

The decision, he said, would allow the authority to investigate if she was involved in the NFC issue.

"I've discussed with Datuk Seri Shahrizat about the leave, and it is an appropriate decision as it allows the authority to carry out a thorough investigation.

"Datuk Seri Shahrizat said she was willing to be investigated fully. What happens after this will depend on the outcome of the investigation," he told reporters in Parit Buntar, Perak.

Shahrizat said in a statement that she had applied for three weeks' leave, starting Friday, 13th January 2012.

The NFC issue came to light when the 2010 Auditor-General's Report, released in October 2011, pointed out that the corporation had failed to achieve its objectives.

The NFC, headed by Shahrizat's husband Dr Mohamad Salleh, is the "meat valley" project in Gemas, Negeri Sembilan aimed at increasing the production of local meat and reducing dependency on import for such product.

All the best NFC and cows..

NFC: Shahrizat saman Rafizi, Zuraida RM100 juta

Menteri Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil yang sedang bercuti 3 minggu ekoran isu Pusat Fidlot Kebangsaan, N-F-C, hari ini Khamis 19 Januari 2012 memfailkan saman fitnah RM100 juta terhadap Pengarah Strategik Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Mohd Rafizi Ramli dan Ketua Wanita PKR, Zuraida Kamaruddin berhubung isu NFC.

Diwakili peguam Datuk Seri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, Shahrizat yang juga Ketua Wanita UMNO memfailkan saman itu di pejabat pendaftar Mahkamah Tinggi, Kuala Lumpur, jam 3 petang, Khamis 19 Januari 2012 menerusi pejabat Tetuan Shafee & Co.

Sebelum ini Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pada 14 Januari 2012 lalu mengesahkan aset NFC telah dibekukan bagi membantu siasatan berhubung dakwaan penyelewengan peruntukan kerajaan berjumlah RM250 juta kepada syarikat itu.

Perdana Menteri berkata, beliau telah menyerahkan kepada Timbalannya, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin dan Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani, Datuk Seri Noh Omar untuk mencari penyelesaian terbaik termasuk mengenai masa depan syarikat projek lembu daging itu.

"Sebenarnya aset NFC memang sudah dibekukan. Saya sudah serah kepada Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani untuk mengkaji penyelesaian terbaik dalam soal NFC.

"Satu siasatan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah (SPRM) sedang berjalan dan satu lagi mengenai masa depan NFC itu sendiri," katanya.

Dalam perkembangan sama, Najib menyifatkan keputusan Shahrizat bercuti 3 minggu itu sebagai tepat bagi membolehkan pihak berkuasa menjalankan siasatan dengan rapi.

"Saya telah berbincang dengan beliau dan keputusan itu tepat bagi membolehkan pihak berkuasa buat siasatan rapi. Shahrizat beritahu saya beliau sanggup disiasat sepenuhnya.

"Apa yang akan berlaku kemudian tertakluk kepada hasil siasatan yakni siasatan dari awal lagi. Maknanya sama ada dia sebagai seorang menteri terlibat dalam proses pemberian kepada kontrak itu," jelasnya.

Sementara itu Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin berkata kerajaan melantik sebuah firma perunding perakaunan bagi melindungi kepentingan kerajaan dalam projek Pusat Fidlot Nasional yang sebelum ini diuruskan NFC.

Muhyiddin berkata, antara tugas firma tersebut ialah menjalankan satu penelitian wajar selain melakukan audit projek dari segi penggunaan dana pinjaman, pengurusan serta kewangan.

Menurutnya, dijangkakan tugasan tersebut bakal dimuktamadkan dalam tempoh sebulan.

''Bagi melindung kepentingan kerajaan, sebuah firma perunding perakaunan yang ditugaskan untuk menjalankan satu penelitian wajar atau 'due diligence' akan dilantik.

''(Dan) audit projek dari segi penggunaan dana pinjaman, pengurusan dan kewangan akan dilakukan. Tugasan ini dijangka dimuktamadkan dalam tempoh sebulan,'' katanya dalam satu kenyataan pada Rabu, 18 Januari 2012 lalu.

Apapun semoga projek NFC itu menepati matlamatnya untuk mengurangkan impot daging negara.

Shocking Kodak files for bankruptcy, secures USD$950 million lifeline

Kodak is a household name for camera, this particular brand is well known outside America and Europe.

Heck, i knew Kodak as my 1st ever camera when i was a small 5 year old boy residing in Sabah, Malaysia.


Even Rihanna was featured in Kodak's advertisement.

Kodak was founded by George Eastman in 1892, 130 years ago, hence the name Eastman Kodak. The headquarters is in Rochester, New York, United States of awesome America and is credited for supplying human beings the first ever photos from the Moon.

However a shocking news erupted today on January 19, 2012, the household name and world famous Kodak, sadly has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It had also obtained a USD $950 million, 18-month credit facility from Citigroup to keep it going. What the hell happened?

The loan and bankruptcy protection from U.S. trade creditors may give Kodak the time it needs to find buyers for some of its 1,100 digital patents, the key to its remaining value, and to reshape its business while continuing to pay its 17,000 workers.

"The board of directors and the entire senior management team unanimously believe that this is a necessary step and the right thing to do for the future of Kodak," Chairman and Chief Executive Antonio Perez said in a statement.

"Now we must complete the transformation by further addressing our cost structure and effectively monetizing non-core intellectual-property assets. We look forward to working with our stakeholders to emerge a lean, world-class, digital imaging and materials science company," he added.

At end September 2011, the group had total assets of USD$5.1 billion and liabilities of USD$6.75 billion.

Kodak said it and its U.S. subsidiaries had filed for Chapter 11 business reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Non-U.S. subsidiaries were not covered by the filing and would continue to honor all obligations to their suppliers, it added.

A FALLEN ICON

Kodak once dominated its industry and mesmerizes the world, but it failed to embrace more modern technologies quickly enough, such as the digital camera -- ironically, a product it even invented.

Its downfall hit its Rust Belt hometown of Rochester, New York, with employment there falling to about 7,000 from more than 60,000 in Kodak's heyday.

Its market value has sunk to below USD$150 million from USD$31 billion 15 years ago.

Well i am sure, Kodak will not be in its present state of affairs, had Steve Jobs worked in that company.

All the Best Kodak.

Kerajaan BN memang prihatin kepada rakyat Sabah

Selasa lalu, 17 Januari 2012, Timbalan Perdana Menteri YAB Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin turun padang ke Semporna, di pantai Timur Sabah untuk program agihan bantuan Rakyat 1 Malaysia atau BR1M selain program pemimpin bersama rakyat dan perjumpaan bersama penjawat awam. Ini lawatan pertama Muhyiddin ke Semporna sejak dilantik Timbalan Perdana Menteri pada 2009.



Dan keceriaan jelas terpancar di wajah pakcik ini setelah menerima RM500 BR1M daripada Muhyiddin sendiri di padang pekan Semporna. Untuk rekod, pakcik ini tidak boleh berjalan dan terpaksa didukung anak lelakinya dan terpaksa menaiki bot dari Pulau Larapan untuk ke Semporna bagi menerima bantuan RM500 ini, pastinya amat bermakna kepada beliau. Ringanlah beban beliau dan murahlah rezeki kepada mereka yang memberikan bantuan ini.






Pada majlis ini, Muhyiddin memberitahu bahawa pemberian BR1M adalah praktikal dan boleh dilaksanakan kerajaan meskipun ada 4 juta penerima dan kosnya kira kira 2 billion ringgit.

Bukan sahaja rakyat menerima BR1M berupa RM500 seorang, malahan pelajar sekolah juga mendapat bantuan RM100 seorang ketika awal musim persekolahan dan pelajar Tingkatan 6 pula menerima baucar pendidikan RM200 seorang.

Subsidi 22 billion ringgit tahunan pula disalurkan kerajaan untuk memastikan rakyat tidak perlu membayar harga tinggi bagi membeli barangan keperluan seharian.

Ini berbeza dengan pembangkang yang menjanjikan bulan dan bintang (atau roket) tetapi mustahil dilaksanakan seperti janji menghapuskan Tol dan Pinjaman Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional, PTPTN, yang sememangnya dan semestinya tidak praktikal.

Kalau nak hapuskan tol, siapa nak bayar kos 10 billion ringgit yang dibelanjakan syarikat pembina lebuhraya itu? Siapa? Anwar Ibrahim? Lim Kit Siang? Karpal Singh? Azmin Ali? Semestinya bukan dan tidak!!!



Gambar ini menunjukkan wajah ceria dan gembira seramai 37 golongan kurang berkemampuan termasuk warga emas, ibu tunggal dan orang kelainan upaya (O-K-U) menerima sumbangan sempena Tahun Baru Cina di DUN Tanjung Batu dalam kawasan Parlimen Kalabakan, di Sabah.

Sumbangan barangan keperluan asas seperti minyak masak, tepung, gula,
limau mandarin serta 'ang pau' itu disampaikah ADUN Tanjung Batu, Datuk Hamisa Samat di Pusat Khidmat Wakil Rakyat Dun Tanjung Batu, Tawau, baru baru ini.

Menurut Hamisa, sumbangan itu bertujuan meringankan beban kaum
Tionghua sempena Tahun Baru Cina supaya mereka dapat menyambutnya
dalam keadaan gembira dan selesa.

"Diharap sumbangan ini membolehkan mereka membuat persediaan awal
sempena sambutan Tahun baru Cina ini," katanya selepas majlis
penyampaian sumbangan itu.

Nah, inilah keprihatinan kerajaan BN untuk rakyat Sabah.

Untuk rekod, BN Sabah mencatat kejayaan cemerlang apabila menang 59 daripada 60 kerusi DUN Sabah dan 24 daripada 25 kerusi Parlimen pada pilihanraya umum 2004 dan 2008.

Sekaligus digelar Fixed Deposit.

Lantaran tsunami politik di Semenanjung, Anwar Ibrahim dan kroninya terdesak untuk mendambakan sokongan pengundi Sabah dan Sarawak kerana dia kemaruk mahu menjadi Perdana Menteri.

Sebenarnya Anwar Ibrahim ada jalan mudah untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri pada 1993 apabila dia menang perebutan jawatan Timbalan presiden UMNO ketika menentang Timbalan Presiden ketika itu, Allahyarham Tun Ghafar Baba.

Ketika itu Anwar Ibrahim mendapat tendangan penalti dan dia hanya perlu menendang bola ke dalam gawang gol. Namun Anwar Ibrahim memilih untuk menendang bola itu dari kawasannya sendiri dan mengelecek beberapa pertahanan lawan sebelum cuba merembat bola, namun bola itu tersasar, tidak gol.

Anwar tidak cerdik menutup kelemahannya, dituduh seorang gay dan homoseksual sehingga dibenci dan dipecat oleh Tun Mahathir Mohamad. Anwar memilih jalan sukar untuk menjadi PM.

Oleh itu rakyat Sabah, ingatlah, pilihlah permata, bukannya kaca, negara bukan sahaja bakal bengkrap apabila ditadbir Anwar kerana dulu dia selaku Menteri Kewangan Malaysia mahu meminjam daripada Tabung Matawang Antarabangsa, IMF ketika dunia dilanda krisis ekonomi dan kegawatan kewangan global.

Indonesia meminjam dari IMF dan huru hara berlaku, rusuhan berlaku, bunuh membunuh berlaku dan Suahrto dipaksa letak jawatan sebagai Presiden.

Thailand juga begitu, porak peranda.

Nasib baik Malaysia dan Tun Mahathir tidak mengikut telunjuk dan cadangan Anwar untuk pinjam dari IMF, jika tidak binasa kita.

Orang macam ini kah yang kita mahu untuk mentadbir Malaysia?

Jawapannya tidak, sama sekali tidak.....

Wikipedia is currently offlimits

Wikipedia is currently in black-out mode and inaccessible for 24 hours, as of now at 5.50 am in Malaysia on Thursday 19th January 2012, the website is still on strike.

Wikipedia apparently is pissed off with SOPA and PIPA. The full story here :

Why is Wikipedia blacked-out?

Wikipedia is protesting against SOPA and PIPA by blacking out the English Wikipedia for 24 hours, beginning at midnight January 18, Eastern Time. Readers who come to English Wikipedia during the blackout will not be able to read the encyclopedia.

Instead, you will see messages intended to raise awareness about SOPA and PIPA, encouraging you to share your views with your representatives, and with each other on social media.

What are SOPA and PIPA?

SOPA and PIPA represent two bills in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate respectively. SOPA is short for the "Stop Online Piracy Act," and PIPA is an acronym for the "Protect IP Act." ("IP" stands for "intellectual property.")

In short, these bills are efforts to stop copyright infringement committed by foreign web sites, but, in our opinion, they do so in a way that actually infringes free expression while harming the Internet. Detailed information about these bills can be found in the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act articles on Wikipedia, which are available during the blackout. GovTrack lets you follow both bills through the legislative process: SOPA on this page, and PIPA on this one.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the public interest in the digital realm, has summarized why these bills are simply unacceptable in a world that values an open, secure, and free Internet.

Why is the blackout happening?

Wikipedians have chosen to black out the English Wikipedia for the first time ever, because we are concerned that SOPA and PIPA will severely inhibit people's access to online information. This is not a problem that will solely affect people in the United States: it will affect everyone around the world.

Why?

SOPA and PIPA are badly drafted legislation that won't be effective at their stated goal (to stop copyright infringement), and will cause serious damage to the free and open Internet.

They put the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites. Small sites won't have sufficient resources to defend themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off funding sources for their foreign competitors, even if copyright isn't being infringed. Foreign sites will be blacklisted, which means they won't show up in major search engines.

And, SOPA and PIPA build a framework for future restrictions and suppression. Does this mean that Wikipedia itself is violating copyright laws, or hosting pirated content? No, not at all. Some supporters of SOPA and PIPA characterize everyone who opposes them as cavalier about copyright, but that is not accurate. Wikipedians are knowledgeable about copyright and vigilant in protecting against violations:

Wikipedians spend thousands of hours every week reviewing and removing infringing content. We are careful about it because our mission is to share knowledge freely. To that end, all Wikipedians release their contributions under a free license, and all the material we offer is freely licensed. Free licenses are incompatible with copyright infringement, and so infringement is not tolerated.

Isn't SOPA dead?

Wasn't the bill shelved, and didn't the White House declare that it won't sign anything that resembles the current bill?

No, neither SOPA nor PIPA is dead. On January 17th, SOPA's sponsor said the bill will be discussed in early February. There are signs PIPA may be debated on the Senate floor next week. Moreover, SOPA and PIPA are just indicators of a much broader problem. In many jurisdictions around the world, we're seeing the development of legislation that prioritizes overly-broad copyright enforcement laws, laws promoted by power players, over the preservation of individual civil liberties.

How could SOPA and PIPA hurt Wikipedia?

SOPA and PIPA are a threat to Wikipedia in many ways. For example, in its current form, SOPA would require Wikipedia to actively monitor every site we link to, to ensure it doesn't host infringing content.

Any link to an infringing site could put us in jeopardy of being forced offline. I live in the United States. What's the best way for me to help?

The most effective action you can take is to call your representatives and tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA, and any similar legislation. Type your zipcode in the locator box to find your representatives' contact information. Text-based communication is okay, but phone calls have the most impact.

I don't live in the United States. How can I help?

Contact your local State Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or similar branch of government. Tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA, and any similar legislation. SOPA and PIPA will affect sites outside of the United States, and actions to sites inside the United States (like Wikipedia) will also affect non-American readers -- like you. Calling your own government will also let them know you don't want them to create their own bad anti-Internet legislation.

Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?

Yes. During the blackout, Wikipedia is accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. You can also view Wikipedia normally by disabling JavaScript in your browser, as explained on this Technical FAQ page. Our purpose here isn't to make it completely impossible for people to read Wikipedia, and it's okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We just want to make sure you see our message.


I keep hearing that this is a fight between Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Is that true?

No. Some people are characterizing it that way, probably in an effort to imply all the participants are motivated by commercial self-interest. But it's obviously not that simple. The proof of that is Wikipedia's involvement.

Wikipedia has no financial self-interest at play here: we do not benefit from copyright infringement, nor are we trying to monetize traffic or sell ads. We are protesting to raise awareness about SOPA and PIPA solely because we think they will hurt the Internet, and your ability to access information online. We are doing this for you, because we're on your side.

In carrying out this protest, is Wikipedia abandoning neutrality? We hope you continue to trust Wikipedia to be a neutral information source. We are staging this blackout because (as Wikimedia Foundation Trustee Kat Walsh said recently), although Wikipedia’s articles are neutral, its existence is not.

For over a decade, Wikipedians have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Wikipedia is a tremendously useful resource, and its existence depends upon a free, open and uncensored Internet.

SOPA and PIPA (and other similar laws under discussion inside and outside the United States) will hurt you, because they will make it impossible for sites you enjoy, and benefit from, to continue to exist. That's why we're doing this. I have a question that isn't answered here, or, I would like to send feedback to Wikipedia.

You can reach Wikipedia editors at info-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org. If you need a response, please be patient: we may have trouble keeping up with the mail.

Wikipedia merajuk

Sebagaimana kita tahu, Wikipedia adalah antara sumber rujukan secara online di internet untuk apa juga subjek termasuk sejarah, geografik, matematik dan juga seks!

Namun ketika mencari rujukan di Wikipedia pada Rabu 18 januari 2012 hingga awal pagi Khamis 19 Januari 2012, Wikipedia telah menutup laman webnya, kerana tidak puas hati dengan syarat privacy in the internet dikenakan Amerika Syarikat.

Dan logo diatas adalah gambar yang terkeluar ketika Wikipedia dalam mode merajuk.

Hmm.. kita tahu Wikipedia lengkap dan sarat dengan maklumat mengenai apa juga tajuk.

Pencabar utamanya ialah New World Encyclopedia yang maklumatnya sama hebat dengan Wikipedia.

Berikut dibawah penjelasan Wikipedia mengenai tindakannya merajuk.

For over a decade, Wikipedians have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Wikipedia is a tremendously useful resource, and its existence depends upon a free, open and uncensored Internet.

SOPA and PIPA (and other similar laws under discussion inside and outside the United States) will hurt you, because they will make it impossible for sites you enjoy, and benefit from, to continue to exist. That's why we're doing this. I have a question that isn't answered here, or, I would like to send feedback to Wikipedia.

You can reach Wikipedia editors at info-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org. If you need a response, please be patient: we may have trouble keeping up with the mail.
