BBC reporter attacked by 2 drunken idiots but fought back!!!

The brave BBC reporter - Paresh Patel.

On 11 September 2009, British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, Reporter Paresh Patel had been preparing a report in Sackville Gardens, Central Manchester, United Kingdom, when suddenly 2 drunken youths started to harras him.

Mr Patel had been followed for half an hour through Manchester city centre by these two idiots, who subjected him to a barrage of abuse as he attempted to set up a live broadcast with his cameraman Steve Capstick.

Maybe these 2 idiots did not like Asian people or they were complete idiots, not knowing what else to do after consuming alcohols - or they were just amateurish beer drinkers - got flatten up by mere 8 pints of Budweiser...!!!

Hey... if these 2 youths do that in Tamparuli, Sabah, Malaysia, they will surely end up without their heads!!!!

Well, during the incident, Mr Capstcik and a few bystanders tried to defuse the situation but with no avail.

But what these 2 drunken idiots didn't realise was that Mr Patel has a black belt in Karate, and when he was finally pushed too far the suited reporter lashed out in kung-fu style.

He floored one of the unsuspecting thugs with a kick to the groin followed by a lightning-quick punch in the face.

The dazed victim can then be seen in CCTV footage scrambling to his feet just as police arrive to arrest the man as Mr Patel, dubbed the 'BBC Bruiser', calmly walks away.

Judge David Hernandez of the Manchester Magistrates' Court sentenced John Nugent, 22 to a 18 month community order with supervision, and David McKenna, 27 - a community order for 18 months with supervision and 14 hours unpaid work at Manchester Crown Court.

At the sentencing of the pair, Judge Hernandez said: 'He defended himself, he delivered a blow. I say good for Mr Patel.

Jodie Anderson, 26, the female who threw the drink over Mr Patel, had previously pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Patel and was given a suspended six-week prison sentence and ordered to pay him £50 compensation.

In a victim impact statement read to the court, Mr Patel said: 'I am shocked and upset by what has happened. I was trying to go about my business in a peaceful way.'

A spokesperson for the BBC said they were not commenting on the matter as it was a case for the courts.

Pencabar Nash Lefthanded - Tiada Lagi Kidung mu - tiada orang yang boleh menyanyikan lagu itu selain orang ini

Pencabar Nash Lefthanded - Tiada Lagi Kidungmu

Lagu Tiada Lagi Kidungmu, mula popular pada 1987 oleh kumpulan Lefthanded dan dinyanyikan vokalisnya - Nash dengan iringan gitar lentok Man Kidal.

Lagu itu melonjakkan Lefthanded ke persada muzik rock tanah air - menyaingi populariti kumpulan Search ketika itu. Selain Tiada Lagi Kidungmu, Lagu Lefthanded yang turut meruntun perasaan ketika itu ialah Cinta 3 Dimensi dan Lagenda Cintamu.

Selepas lebih 10 tahun, lagu Tiada Lagi Kidungmu kembali popular setelah didendangkan oleh Felix Agus dalam Program Realiti Akademi Fantasia musim ke 3 terbitan Astro pada 2005.

Selepas itu, banyak sekali peminat lagu itu yang cuba mendendangkan lagu Tiada Lagi Kidungmu dalam pelbagai versi.

Namun versi dalam video di bawah oleh seorang Pakcik atau Uncle di Daerah Kecil Kiulu, Sabah pada 31 Ogos 2005 ketika satu majlis hari jadi, menjadi satu daripada bahan sensadi di Internet, khususnya dalam Youtube.

Apa tidaknya, gelagat Pakcik dikenali Pakcik "P" itu yang mendendangkan lagu dalam versinya sendiri yang tidak boleh diikuti atau dicabar oleh orang lain, menyebabkan persembahannya begitu unik sekali dan tidak pernah dilihat sebelum ini.

Malahan Nash sendiri dilaporkan amat terkejut apabila mendengar dan melihat ada orang yang menyanyi dalam versi sebegitu ke atas lagunya!!!!!

Sejak diupload oleh Pinolobu ke dalam Youtube, hampir 3 tahun lalu iaitu pada December 2006, video itu telah merekodkan 44,336 hits dan 253 komen (kebanyakannya komen bersifat negatif!!!!!!!)

Untuk makluman juga, air berwarna kemerahan yang dihidangkan kepada tetamu dalam video itu dikenali sebagai Bahar, sejenis minuman tradisi diperbuat dari Air Kelapa atau Nira Kelapa - rasanya agak kelat dan bila dicampur dengan Rosok, dia akan menjadi pahit dan boleh mendatangkan kesan F=ma atau Force = mass times acceleration!!!

Apapun sama sama kita dengarkan keunikan versi Uncle "P" :



Untuk yang tidak tahu, ini adalah versi original Tiada Lagi Kidungmu oleh Lefthanded :

Tiada Lagi Kidungmu - Versi Studio - 1987



Dinyanyikan secara langsung oleh Nash, 20 tahun kemudian pada 2007

Ikrar Perwira - antara lagu heavy metal pertama berbahasa Melayu yang Gempaqqq

Ikrar Perwira - adalah lagu berentak Heavy Metal pertama yang menapak di hati peminat Rock Tanah air samada di Malaysia mahupun Singapura.

Lagu ini kali pertama didengari dan berkumandang di radio dan kaset di Malaysia dan Singapura pada 1985 - nukilan album pertama Rusty Blade - kumpulan rock Terbilang dari Singapura yang menggegarkan arena muzik Rock tanah air ketika itu dan menggegar populariti kumpulan Search, Lefthanded dan Wings dari Malaysia.

Ikrar Perwira - dicipta dan disusun atur muzik Heavy Metalnya oleh Khalid Mobin - peneraju utama kumpulan Rusty Blade.

Dengan lirik berbunyi - "Pedang yang usang, dibersihkan buat pameran.... Ikrar Perwira ..... semangat perjuangan", lagu ini sememangnya membangkitkan semangat perjuangan dan mood heavy metal di kalangan pendengar Heavy Metal di seantero nusantara...

Lagu Ikrar Perwira masih popular sehingga kini.

Ini versi terbaru Ikrar Perwira - dipersembahkan secara live oleh Rusty Blade, pada anugerah Life 2007. Saksikan Khalid Mobin masih ligat, meskipun sesudah 22 tahun lagu itu kali pertama beliau perdengarkan. Begitu juga vokalis utama J.Yantzen yang masih bertenaga!!!




Ini pula versi Ikrar Perwira oleh kumpulan Nuclear Striker ketika mengadakan persembahan di Pasar Seni, Central Market Kuala Lumpur pada February 2008. Cuba dengar baik baik, vokal vokalis wanita kumpulan Nuclear Strikes hampir tidak kedengaran kerana penonton turut sama menyanyikan lagu itu. Malahan seorang penonton juga dilihat melakukan Stage Dive secara backwards dipercayai kerana terlalu taksub dan minat dengan lagu Ikrar Perwira!!!




Lagu Ikrar Perwira turut menjadi pilihan pada final Anugerah Band, tapi saya kurang pasti bila dan tempatnya di mana Pak...



Juga dirockkan di Eureka Club, Orchard Tower



Kumpulan yang baru diwujudkan juga sering memilih lagu Ikrar Perwira dalam sesi latihan atau Jamming. Umpamanya kumpulan di bawah ini... Muziknya OK emmmm tapi vokalisnya atau penyanyinya agak sumbang sikit (orang putih kata Out of Tune) tetapi Practice makes perfect!!!

A mother's love knows no boundary.. It's true

Bernama and Xinhua news agency reported on Wednesday 4 November 2009 that a 55-year-old woman in Wuhan, central China marched 10 kilometres every day for 7 months to lose weight and save the life of her son.

Chen Yurong walked more than 2,000 km in total after being told her 31-year-old son, Ye Haibin, needed a liver transplant -- but her liver was not suitable because it had accumulated too much fat, doctors told her in February.

In an effort to get her liver into shape, Chen marched along a dyke near her home in Jiang'an District, Hubei Province, everyday. She also went on a diet, only eating rice and vegetables. She eventually lost 8 kg.

On Oct 19, doctors said her liver had reached the standard for the transplant.

In a 14-hour operation at the Tongji Hospital under Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, the provincial capital, on Tuesday, Chen gave part of her liver to her son.

Chen had decided in December last year to donate her liver to her son, who for 18 years had suffered Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder caused by accumulation of excessive amounts of copper in the body that can lead to liver degeneration.

"The operation went smoothly," said surgeon Chen Xiaoping, an organ transplant expert. "We left part of Ye's liver, which will function together with the transplanted part.

"Theoretically speaking, Ye's life can be prolonged for a long time," he said. "She is a great mother."

Chen and her son are both described as in a stable condition in hospital. The hospital decided to waive all its fees for the operation.

God bless this family...

5 Politicians, including Member of Parliament will be charged with graft

(source the star online)

Hmmm... i wonder who are them??

Well, the Shah Alam Sessions Court will be centre of attraction for the public and the media as well on Tuesday 3 November 2009.

The news from the star online, dateline 2 November 2009.

PUTRAJAYA: Five politicians, including a Barisan Nasional Member of Parliament, a special aide to a Selangor state executive councillor from the DAP and a former special assistant to the mentri besar, have been arrested for corruption.

The remaining two arrested by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) are the MP’s special assistant and a company director.

All are alleged to have committed graft or attempted to cheat the Government of thousands of ringgit in false claims.

All five are expected to be produced before the Shah Alam Sessions Court on Tuesday where they will be charged with corrupt practices and attempting to cheat.

The MP, who was formerly a state assemblyman, is alleged to made false claims by submitting invoices purportedly for the purchase of materials for a programme that never took place.

His special assistant, who was said to have abetted him and who submitted similar claims, is also expected to be charged with the same offence.

It is learnt that the former assistant to the mentri besar, a member of PKR, is also expected to be charged under the Penal Code with attempted cheating.

He is suspected to have tried to cheat the president of a government-linked company of RM50,000.

The money was purportedly meant for a state government function.

Also expected to be in the dock Tuesday is a company director who allegedly submitted false claims to the Hulu Langat district office for the purchase and supply of goods for several programmes that took place in the Teratai constituency, when no such programmes took place last year.

Mengapa bekas Mufti Perlis, Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin ditahan JAIS?

(sumber gambar dan berita : mstar.com)


Dr Asri diiringi oleh polis ketika dibawa ke balai polis Hulu Kelang

Saya pun agak terkejut apabila membaca berita dan menonton berita TV mengenai bekas Mufti Perlis, Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin yang ditahan oleh Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor.

Saya tidak tahu apa sebab munasababnya. Namun jarang di Malaysia ni, seorang bekas Mufti diperlakukan sedemikian rupa.

Berita penuh dibawah seperti disiarkan mstar.com :

SUASANA sepi di sebuah rumah banglo di Lorong 2 C, Taman Sri Ukay menjadi kecoh malam tadi apabila bekas Mufti Perlis, Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin ditahan oleh penguatkuasa Jabatan Agama Islam Negeri Selangor (JAIS).

Seramai 35 anggota JAIS telah datang ke premis tersebut dengan tiga buah van pada jam 9.45 malam. Kedatangan mereka diiringi lebih 25 orang polis beruniform dalam kereta patrol.

Pada ketika itu, Mohd Asri sedang memberi ceramah kepada lebih 300 orang jemaah di dalam kawasan banglo milik Tuan Hj Yahya itu.

Ceramah agama yang bermula pada jam 8 malam itu terpaksa dihentikan setelah pegawai JAIS datang menyerbu.

Alasan yang diberikan oleh pihak JAIS ialah mereka menerima aduan dan terpaksa membuat penangkapan kerana Mohd Asri memberi ceramah tanpa tauliah.

Menurut anak tuan rumah, Norman Yahya, pegawai penguatkuasa JAIS telah memasuki banglo kira-kira jam 9.30 malam.


Dr Asri di bawa keluar dari banglo di Taman Sri Ukays

"Pada jam 9.30 ketika kuliah sedang berlangsung, pegawai JAIS memaklumkan kehadiran mereka adalah untuk menahan Dr Asri kerana memberikan ceramah tanpa tauliah," kata Norman.

Sementara itu, beberapa jemaah yang ditemui berkata, pihak JAIS telah menunggu selama setengah jam di luar banglo sebelum membuat serbuan.

Namun, seramai 50 orang jemaah bertindak menghalang penguatkuasa JAIS dan tidak membenarkan Dr Asri ditahan.

Untuk menenangkan keadaan, Mohd Asri telah ditempatkan di sebuah bilik di dalam banglo tersebut sementara proses perundingan dijalankan.

Senario menjadi sedikit tegang apabila penyokong Mohd Asri tidak mahu berganjak dan berkawal di hadapan bilik Dr Asri dan tidak membenarkan pihak JAIS mahupun polis memasuki bilik bekas mufti itu.


Dr Asri kelihatan tenang, sedang dibawa ke balai polis Ulu Kelang

Sejurus selepas itu, kelihatan Ahli Parlimen PKR Ampang, Zuraida Kamaruddin dan ADUN PAS Hulu Kelang, Saari Sungip mengadakan perundingan bersama tiga orang peguam dan pihak JAIS dan polis.

Kesemua mereka bertanya kepada JAIS atas alasan apa Dr Asri hendak ditahan. Dan jawapan yang diberikan oleh Ustaz Sharom Maarof, Pegawai Penguatkuasa Agama, dengan nada yang keras, "Dia tidak ada tauliah untuk memberi ceramah..."

Sharom juga kelihatan begitu agresif untuk memasuki bilik Mohd Asri.

"Siapa yang halang kita buat tangkapan, kita akan tangkap juga," kata Sharom.

Ketika ini, tiga orang peguam terpaksa menjadi orang tengah dan berbincang dengan pihak polis dan JAIS namun pihak JAIS enggan meninggalkan premis tersebut dan berkeras ingin membuat penangkapan juga.

Suasana berterusan menjadi tegang bila beberapa pegawai JAIS dan polis mengugut untuk menggunakan kekerasan seandainya penyokong-penyokong Dr Asri berkeras tidak mahu melepaskan Mohd Asri.

Pihak polis juga telah mengarahkan pihak media dan mereka yang tidak berkenaan untuk mengosongkan rumah.

Setelah keadaan berlarutan hingga 3 jam, Mohd Asri akhirnya dibawa keluar dari biliknya dengan diiringi oleh beberapa orang polis dan pegawai JAIS untuk dibawa ke balai Polis Hulu Klang untuk diambil keterangan.

Mohd Asri terus dibawa ke balai polis menaiki sebuah van tepat jam 12 tengah malam. Hanya peguam sahaja dibenarkan memasuki kawasan balai polis sementara pihak media dan penyokong Mohd Asri terpaksa menanti dengan setia di luar kawasan balai.


Pihak media menanti dengan setia di luar kawasan balai polis Ulu Kelang ketika Dr Asri dibawa masuk untuk diambil keterangannya

Setelah hampir 1 jam, Mohd Asri dibebaskan tanpa diambil apa-apa keterangan.

Namun kelibat pegawai JAIS dan van JAIS yang membawa Dr Asri ke balai polis langsung tidak kelihatan pada ketika itu. Dr Asri kemudiannya dibawa balik ke rumah Hj Yahya untuk sebuah sidang akhbar.

Mohd Asri telah diarahkan untuk menghadirkan diri di Pejabat Agama Islam Daerah Gombak, pada hari ini, jam 9 pagi untuk diambil keterangannya.

Bekas Mufti Perlis anggap diri disabotaj JAIS

Oleh ZIEMAN dan SITI AZIRA ABD AZIZ


Dr Asri dikerumuni media di perkarangan Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Gombak sebentar tadi

KUALA LUMPUR: Bekas Mufti Perlis, Dr.Mohd Asri menganggap tindakan Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS) yang membuatkan beliau menunggu selama lebih sejam di Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Gombak Timur, hari ini, adalah sebagai satu sabotaj.

Sehingga pukul 10 pagi, pihak JAIS tidak hadir ke mahkamah, sedangkan Mohd Asri tiba sejak pukul 9 pagi seperti yang diarahkan JAIS.

"Mereka tangkap saya dulu baru tuduh. Tetapi mahkamah kata belum ada apa-apa pertuduhan lagi. Saya pun tak tahu sebab apa nak datang sini


Dr Asri tetap menanti kemunculan pegawai-pegawai JAIS

"Pihak JAIS yang bagi arahan, tetapi saya nak tahu 'tangan ghaib' siapa disebaliknya," kata Mohd Asri.

Terdahulu, lebih 100 individu memenuhi perkarangan mahkamah sejak pukul 9 pagi tadi untuk memberi sokongan terhadap beliau yang hadir untuk memberikan keterangan berhubung dakwaan dipercayai mengajar ilmu agama tanpa tauliah.


Ramai penyokong-penyokong Dr Asri yang terdiri dari wakil-wakil NGO dan peguam datang memberi sokongan moral


Antara yang hadir ialah Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir, Ahli Parlimen Titiwangsa Dr Lo' Lo' Mohamad Ghazali, Timbalan Ketua Dewan Pemuda PAS, Azman Shafawi, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Hulu Klang, Saari Sungib, Ahli Parlimen PKR Ampang, Zuraida Kamaruddin dan pengasas Sisters In Islam (SIS), Zainah Anwar.

Turut kelihatan ialah wakil kepada Senator Datuk Jamil Baharom, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, wakil-wakil Umno, PAS dan PKR; serta enam orang peguam dari pelbagai firma guaman.


Dr Asri mempamerkan surat yang dikeluarkan oleh JAIS yang mengarahkannya hadir ke pejabat agama Gombak pagi ini

Mohd Asri ditahan Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS) tengah malam tadi, namun dibebaskan dengan jaminan polis kira-kira pukul 1.10 pagi tadi.

Kejadian berlaku kira-kira pukul 9 malam apabila sekumpulan anggota JAIS memasuki sebuah banglo milik seorang ahli perniagaan di Taman Sri Ukay, Hulu Klang ketika Mohd Asri memberikan ceramah kepada lebih 300 pengikut.

Sementara itu, Thalia Rohaina Abdul Latif yang merupakan salah seorang peguam yang hadir di pejabat agama tersebut berkata, perkara ini tidak sepatutnya terjadi dan JAIS sepatutnya membuat siasatan terlebih dahulu sebelum membuat sebarang penahanan.

"Mereka (JAIS) datang menyerbu beliau di premis rakannya dan pada waktu itu beliau sedang menikmati makan malam, dan bukannya sedang memberikan ceramah seperti yang didakwa.

"JAIS sepatutnya siasat dulu sebelum membuat tuduhan," katanya.

Penyokong-penyokong Mohd Asri juga menganggap isu tidak bertauliah bukanlah alasan yang logik kerana beliau merupakan bekas mufti dan mempunyai kelayakan dalam ilmu hadis.

Menurut Ahli Parlimen Ampang, Zuraida Kamaruddin, beliau turut tidak berpuas hati apabila pihak JAIS turut mengaitkan Mohd Asri mengamalkan fahaman Wahabi.

Mohd Asri bagaimanapun menafikan perkara tersebut.

"Itu hanya fahaman rekaan mereka," jelasnya yang turut diwakili oleh peguam Zulkifli Che Yong, Azmi Mohd Rais dan beberapa peguam pemerhati dari mahkamah sivil.

Dalam pada itu, Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir akui, beliau pernah mengikuti syarahan dan menyokong penuh bekas mufti itu.

"Beliau kena aniaya kerana tuduhan itu tidak berasas. Beliau adalah seorang mufti, takkanlah tidak bertauliah?

"Kalau dikatakan mengamalkan fahaman Wahabi, mereka faham kah makna Wahabi itu? Mereka kena faham terlebih dahulu, barulah buat tuduhan," kata Marina dalam nada marah.

Can female tennis players exchange shirts after match??

The answer is Yes in promotional video... but NO in real life...

Streakers

Streakers are naked or half naked people who run into an ongoing sports matches or championships.

We have seen female as well as male streakers in live matches such as soccer, tennis, rugby and even golf and snooker championships.

I guess only brave or mentally unstable people who dares to go in front of thousands of people and millions more watching on TV, to show their private assets.



The 1996 Wimbledon's Men's singles final between MaliVai Washington and Richard Krajicek was interrupted by a female streaker just before the toss. Melissa Johnson, a 23 year old student thereby became Wimbledon's first streaker. She ran onto the ground with an apron on, which she lifted afterward to reveal her pussy.

Streakers more often invades soccer matches!!!


However, the king of all streakers i should say will go to this guy below.

Dubbed, Mr Barcelona, nobody knows his real name..

He always roams the streets of Barcelona in Spain, completely naked, covered only in various tatoo.

He has the tatoo of Barcelona football club on his chest...

Happy Hunting Mr Barcelona...

Jeffrey Kitingan "My struggle is for the people"

Baru baru ini, ahli politik dari Sabah, Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, mengumumkan meletak jawatan sebagai Naib Presiden Parti Keadilan Rakyat, PKR.

Tindakan dibuat setelah beliau tidak berpuas hati dengan cara pimpinan PKR pusat melantik ketua PKR Sabah yang baru iaitu Ahmad Thamrin Jaini.

Menurut Jeffrey, beliau tidak mempersoalkan perlantikan Ahmad Thamrin, sebaliknya mempersoalkan CARA perlantikan itu dibuat.

Umum mengetahu, Jeffrey sudah beberapa kali keluar masuk parti sejak menceburi politik pada 1994.

Dia pernah ditahan di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam negeri, ISA dan dibebaskan pada 1994.

Setelah bebas, Jeffrey bertanding pada pilihanraya negeri Sabah 1994 di bawah tiket parti bersatu Sabah, PBS yang dipimpin abangnya Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan dan menang.

Namun tidak lama selepas itu, PBS hilang kuasa setelah ADUNnya beramai ramai keluar parti untuk menyertai BN ataupun menubuhkan parti komponen yang kemudiannya diterima ke dalam BN.

Jeffrey turut keluar PBS.

Pada mulanya beliau bercadang menubuhkan parti baru, PDSB atau Parti Demokratik Sabah bersatu namun tidak meneruskan hasrat itu.

Beliau kemudiannya menyertai beberapa parti politik seperti AKAR dan Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah PBRS serta juga pernah kembali ke pangkuan PBS.

Pada pilihanraya umum 2004, beliau bertanding atas tiket bebas di DUN Sook tetapi tewas kepada Tan Sri Joseph Kurup.

Namun akhirnya pada 2006, Jeffrey memasuki PKR dan seterusnya dilantik sebagai Naib Presiden parti itu sebelum mengumumkan meletak jawatan Naib Presiden PKR pada 27 Oktober 2009.

Berikut adalah artikel News Straits Times - temubual wartawan Roy Goh bersama Dr Jeffrey setelah beliau mengumumkan melepaskan jawatan Naib Presiden PKR.

Jeffrey Kitingan
'My struggle is for the people'
2009/11/01

By ROY GOH (New Straits Times, Kota Kinabalu)

He has the finger on the pulse of Sabah politics and he knows the issues close to the heart of Sabahans. But Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan has also been called many things: a maverick, the man who party hops, an eccentric. ROY GOH talks to the man about his plans, now that he has resigned as Parti Keadilan Rakyat vice-president

IN Sabah politics, Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan is very well known, though most of the time for the wrong reasons.

He pulled yet another surprise recently by resigning as vice-president of Parti Keadilan Rakyat. He has left everyone guessing.

Jeffrey, who had joined four political parties in the past and was once held under the Internal Security Act, remains an ordinary member of PKR.

He has, however, burned his bridges with the party. None of the options he has hinted at involved staying on in it.

Kitingan may have a penchant for switching camps but he is embraced by political parties because he knows the pulse of the people and the issues close to the heart of the people of Sabah.



Jeffrey, who had joined four political parties in the past and was once held under the Internal Security Act, remains an ordinary member of PKR.

Close calls for the Barisan Nasional in the last two elections, in Sook and Bingkor respectively, where he lost by small margins, attest to this.

Attempts to get him to reveal his next move at an interview at his home in Sokid Villa in Luyang, Kota Kinabalu were met with a nonchalant "Bah, see lah."

The word bah is a unique yet simple response from Sabahans to almost everything.

It can mean yes, no, hello or goodbye and combined with different words can be an expression of anger, happiness, surprise or sadness.

In short, it is as complicated as politics in Sabah.

Sabah folk may be able to understand what he is saying but peninsula-based PKR leaders will probably find his words hard to decipher.

That is why it is felt that issues in Sabah should be resolved by a local.

A Sabah leader Ahmad Thamrin Jaini, formerly the state liaison committee secretary, replaces Azmin Ali as Sabah PKR chief.

But the appointment, says Kitingan, was made by leaders from PKR headquarters. That only made things "more complicated".



"It is not about the appointment but how it was made."



Considering he has gone from one party to another, will Kitingan be able to find a party that represents his true feelings, one that will enable him "to serve the people?"

Will he form a new party? "My brother (Pairin) did it bah when he formed PBS so why can't I."

Or will he re-enter BN through PBS? It can happen but will it go down well with other PBS members?

Or maybe SAPP? Led by Datuk Yong Teck Lee, the former BN coalition party claims to have stealthily reached out to people of Sabah who wants equality in terms of progress and development.

But like he said, he will need feedback from the grassroots first and until he makes his decision. "I am still an ordinary member bah."

Excerpts from the interview:

Q: What made you join PKR?
A: I joined in October 2006 because I was attracted by their agenda. (De facto leader) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim agreed to my list of conditions, except for one on a revenue-sharing formula, if I were to join.

I thought it was a fair deal because I was also attracted to the party's concept of "Justice For All". That, at the time, made me believe I could nationalise the Sabah struggle for equality through democratic meritocracy, ... reforms essentially.

Prior to that, I was already thinking about retiring from politics as I was fed up. I considered myself a political observer then. But I saw that none of our leaders were doing the honourable thing. That situation called for my participation in politics as a concerned leader.

Q: Were you comfortable in PKR initially?
A: Initially, I worked well as an ordinary member-cum-informal leader with the then state liaison committee chairman, Awang Tengah Awang Amin. We had high hopes for the party, especially when we started touring the state to increase membership.

Along the way, I was appointed vice-president. But gradually, I found it difficult to make decisions at state level. Kuala Lumpur (headquarters) would not allow the state liaison committee to make decisions on its own and preferred to refer to their proxies. It was frustrating as I represented a huge number of supporters. It is tough if you do not trust your own people in the states.

When they replaced Awang Tengah with Ansari Abdullah without even consulting the majority of the members, trouble began. They replaced Ansari with Anwar, then Azmin Ali and recently, Thamrin. At least two thirds of the members objected to the changes but Kuala Lumpur refused to listen.

You need a Sabahan leader to resolve issues in the state and in the case of Thamrin -- though he is my friend and I have nothing against him personally -- I don't think he is recognised even by our own members. How would he be able perform his task as a leader?

If Kuala Lumpur keeps on changing leaders at its whims and fancies, how will the party carry on its struggle? The party risks becoming weaker and confusing its members.

Q: If you were made state leader, would things be different ?
A: It would not have made any difference if the leaders in Kuala Lumpur refuse to listen to what we have to say. I have said this many times before and I will say it again -- my struggle is for the people, not for myself. My outspokenness has got me into trouble as I am not like others who would cower the moment they feel their position is threatened.

There were calls from members and leaders at divisional level for me to lead PKR in Sabah but to me, that is secondary. Headquarters decided without our consensus and to me, that is wrong. It's not about the appointment but how it was made.

Q: Are you suggesting PKR needs a liaison committee that is not bound by the national leadership?
A: Not necessarily. There are national issues that need attention but when it comes to matters in the states, they should trust those they have on the ground. If they need to decide on everything, then what is the use of having a democratic process?

This was what I called for when I joined the party. I even introduced the "Tambunan Declaration" as a guideline. It is an approach based on equal partnership between Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia.

These are among the main contents of the declaration: to respect the special rights and autonomy of Sabah and Sarawak, including the 20 Points (agreement made during the formation of Malaysia), the creation of a second deputy prime minister for the Borneo states, setting up a royal commission of inquiry to resolve the issuance of identity cards to foreigners and the large presence of illegal immigrants, raising oil royalty from the present level of five per cent to 20 per cent, getting a fair portion of federal cabinet posts as well as in the foreign service and to allow Sabah to plan its own socio-economic development. But Kuala Lumpur prefers to dominate us.

Q: If this declaration is adopted by PKR, would that make you change your mind?
A: If anyone adopts the declaration, I would be happy. Whether it is the BN or Pakatan, I am sure it will benefit the country in the long term. The recognition given by the present government to Malaysia Day spells some hope for all of us.

Q: Who do you represent in your struggles?
A: The silent majority in Sabah, including certain leaders within the BN. The problem is they are being dominated by Kuala Lumpur and they don't dare say anything because of the political system of selfishness and dominance that we have now.

If they don't like you, out you go. So to protect their interests, they keep quiet. The last election may have jolted the BN to bring about reforms but we in Sabah and Sarawak deserve more.

Q: Will you leave PKR?
A: I will tell you next week.

Q: Did Anwar call to persuade you to stay on (as vice-president) ?
A: Not directly. I heard from other leaders. Why can't he call me? This is where I feel we are not respected as leaders and it disappoints me.

Q: What are your plans now? You have spoken about forming a new party, or joining Sabah Progressive Party, or even BN. Which is it?
A: I need a little time to reflect on things and get feedback from the grassroots. But as it is now, most of the people I have spoken to want me to form a new Sabah-based party. I will need to consider all these options.

Q: Have you been approached by any party?
A: Would you be surprised if I have been? I have been approached informally so I will not commit too much on this. I would say this though -- it's nice to know doors are open to me.

Q: You have switched from Parti Bersatu Sabah (led by elder brother Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan), to Akar (now defunct), back to PBS, then Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS), an independent, and now PKR. Does it not bother you what people think?
A: It was not my desire to leave PBS. It was my brother who told me to join Akar. At the time, politics in Sabah was in a disarray (with the BN taking over the state from PBS when several of its leaders switched camps to the coalition). My brother wanted me to stop PBRS and Parti Demokratik Sabah (now United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun and Murut Organisation or Upko) from entering the BN coalition. I became deputy president of the party and objected to the entry of PBRS and PDS, but we failed.

Eventually, I returned to PBS. After that with problems brewing in PBS -- because people did not like my enthusiasm as a leader -- I joined PBRS. The same thing happened and I left again. For a while, I served the people on my own and subsequently joined PKR.

I am an organisation man who runs administrative matters passionately and effectively. The only problem is when you are a good leader, the people like you but not certain leaders who will make it a point to boot you out. I switched parties not because I wanted to but because circumstances forced me to.

Q: What are your hopes for the future?
A: My struggle for the state and its people are listed in the Tambunan Declaration. We cannot afford to become a subservient society controlled by proxies and their masters. We need to speak up and be heard.

Pandikar bukan sebarang Pendekar!!!

Speaker Dewan Rakyat, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Haji Mulia berasal dari Kota Belud, Sabah.

Dia pernah menjadi ADUN Tempasuk dan juga pernah memegang jawatan sebagai menteri kabinet Sabah termasuklah potfolio Menteri Belia dan Sukan Sabah.

Di peringkat kerajaan persekutuan, beliau juga pernah dilantik sebagai Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri.

Tan Sri Pandikar Amin juga pernah menjadi presiden parti AKAR, sebuah komponen BN Sabah, sebelum parti itu dibubarkan pada 2001 dan beliau seterusnya menyertai UMNO.

Dikenali dengan perwatakan tegas dan agak bengis, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin tidak dipilih semula mempertahankan jawatan ADUN Tempasuk pada pilihanraya umum 2008 dan digantikan YB Musbah Jamli.

Namun beliau dilantik sebagai Yang Di Pertua Dewan Rakyat atau Speaker Parlimen, anak Sabah pertama memegang jawatan itu sepanjang sejarah Parlimen di Malaysia.

Setelah mengetahui dia dilantik ke jawatan itu, Tan Sri Pandikar melepaskan jawatan sebagai Ketua UMNO Bahagian Marudu kerana beliau mahu menjadi Speaker yang neutral atau berkecuali dengan tidak menganggotai mana mana parti politik.

2 lagi Timbalan Speaker juga berasal dari Malaysia Timur iaitu Datuk Ronald Kiandee yang juga Ahli Parlimen Beluran, Sabah dan Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar - Ahli Parlimen Santubong, Sarawak.

Video di bawah memperlihatkan ketegasan Tan Sri Pandikar Amin yang mengarahkan Ahli Parlimen Ranau, Datuk Siringan Gubat, keluar dewan setelah menganggunya ketika beliau sedang bercakap mengenai etika ketika di Dewan Rakyat.

Ungkapan ala bahasa pasar "Ngamlah itu Tuan Yang Di Pertua, Ngam" oleh Datuk Siringan Gubat, membawa padah apabila dia diarahkan keluar Dewan oleh Pandikar.

Sebenarnya ketika berucap di majlis rasmi pun Datuk Siringan menggunakan pelat Sabah yang agak tebal.

Antaranya ungkapan "Lambaga pelansungan Sabah" untuk Lembaga Pelancongan Sabah dan "Lambaga tabung gatah" untuk Lembaga Tabung Getah.

Begitu juga "Sios" ketika sebenarnya beliau bermaksud "Cheers"....!!!! Ampat untuk empat, anam untuk enam dan sebagainya.

Apapun Sabah Tatap di Hati ku... Ngam itu dan haussss ni....!!!!!!

Funny Goal, Funny Comentator and Funny Man in one amazing sequence!!!

This was a high level soccer match. It was England vs Croatia in the Euro 2008 qualifier. The match was held in Zagreb. But then suddenly 3 funny moments occured in one sequence.

First it was England's goalkeeper, Paul Robinson dreadful mistake in the 69th minute of the match. He completely missed a slow back pass from England defender Gary Neville and the ball crossed the goal line to give Croatia a free gift goal. It was Croatia's 2nd goal. Croatia won that match 2-0. Every Croatian fans laughed at Robinson.

Secondly at 0.13 in this video - the Chinese commentator said "Aiyaaaaaaaaaa"... How many times can we hear a football comentator said "Aiyaaaaaaaaaaaa".... while commenting on a high stake match like this???

I thought this "Aiyaaaaaaaaaa" word is only being spoken in the kampung while drinking Beer or at the wet market where an old lady said to the vegetable seller "Aiyaaaaaaaaa, why so expensive oooooo.... no discount meeehhhhhhhh"

And the 3rd funny moment can be seen at 1.25 in this video... suddenly the funny man - Borat appeared with the words "I LIKE YOU" which implied "I LIKE THAT.. ROBINSON"!!!! Borat is the ultra funny character played by British actor and comedian - Sacha Baron Cohen.


BORAT

The video here : Aiyaaaaaaaaaaaa

The worst goalie in the NHL, USA? and other high profile ultra long range goals in soccer history!!

The goalie in question was Ondrej Pavelec who plays for Atlanta Thrashers.

He let in a long range shot, a 178 foot goal to be exact.... Actually it was not a shot but a pass from Jeff Schultz...

It happened in a match against Washington Capitals recently....

Well this kind of ultra range goals happened not only in the National Hockey League, NHL, USA.. but also in soccer... in high level matches....



Below are some examples of long range goals in professional soccer matches...

A young David Beckham goal for Manchester United



Another David Beckham ultra long range goal for LA Galaxy, USA vs Kansas City Wizard


Liverpool's Xavi Alonso long range goal against Newcastle



Some players like Boca Juniors Martin Palermo can even score with long range header - watch this goal, a header from 40 yards!!

Anwar Ibrahim kalah berdebat di Parlimen??

Laporan Utusan Malaysia pada 22 Oktober 2009 menyebut seperti berikut :

Jawapan Mohd. Nor buatkan Anwar terdiam

KUALA LUMPUR 22 Okt. – Jika perbahasan Sidang Dewan Rakyat diibaratkan satu pertandingan debat, Mohd. Nor Othman (BN-Hulu Terengganu) umumnya bukanlah tandingan kepada Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Namun demikian, pada perbahasan Rang Undang-Undang Panglima Gagah Berani hari ini, Mohd. Nor walaupun sekali-sekala masih kedengaran loghat Terengganu dalam ucapannya berjaya membuktikan sebaliknya.

Ini berikutan jawapan beliau terhadap celahan Anwar ibarat ‘pukulan maut’ yang mematikan terus hujah Ketua Pembangkang yang umumnya dikenali sebagai seorang yang petah berpidato.

Anwar dalam celahan itu antaranya seperti mendabik dada apabila mendakwa banyak peruntukan bagi kebajikan untuk anggota keselamatan dilakukan sewaktu beliau berada di dalam kerajaan.

“Sama ada Yang Berhormat (Hulu Terengganu) sedar atau tidak, dalam seluruh sejarah, peruntukan terbesar kepada pegawai dan anggota tentera terutama sudut perumahan adalah diluluskan semasa saya memegang jawatan Menteri Kewangan,” jelas Anwar.

Mendengar celahan Anwar itu, Mohd. Nor hanya berkata:

“Ya kita berterima kasih kerana Ketua Pembangkang telah sediakan jumlah banyak untuk perumahan anggota tentera dan polis (ketika jadi Menteri Kewangan) dahulu.

“Tetapi ingatlah, pada masa itu Ketua Pembangkang boleh melaksanakannya kerana Ketua Pembangkang berada dalam kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN). Kalau di luar kerajaan BN, belum tentu (Ketua Pembangkang) boleh berbuat seperti itu,” katanya.

Jawapan Mohd. Nor itu kemudiannya langsung tidak cuba dipatahkan Anwar yang sebelum itu mengambil masa hampir lima minit ketika mencelah giliran Mohd. Nor berbahas Rang Undang-Undang Panglima Gagah Berani bagi menaikkan elaun penerimanya daripada RM300 kepada RM500.

Selain itu, Mohd. Nor dalam perbahasannya turut membidas beberapa hujah daripada wakil pembangkang yang mengambil giliran sebelum beliau.

Apa yang menarik, wakil Hulu Terengganu itu dengan gaya bersahaja menggunakan bidalan membidas pembangkang yang sebelum itu mendakwa mereka akan memperjuangkan kebajikan anggota tentera jika menjadi kerajaan berbanding kerajaan BN yang mengabaikan kebajikan pasukan keselamatan.

Menurut Mohd. Nor, sekiranya benar pembangkang begitu prihatin kepada kebajikan anggota tentera mengapa tidak kerajaan negeri pimpinan pembangkang yang ada pada hari ini turut sama melakukan sesuatu untuk tujuan tersebut.

“Kepada wakil Gombak, (Mohamed Azmin Ali-PKR), kami menunggu janji manis kata-kata berhikmah supaya peruntukan yang sama turut diberikan oleh kerajaan pembangkang.

“Ini supaya buah terus digugur, jangan cakap tak serupa bikin. Cakap berderai-derai, tapi ekor bergelumang najis,” ujarnya.

Setelah lebih sepuluh anggota Dewan terlibat dalam perbahasan tersebut, Rang Undang-Undang Panglima Gagah Berani (Elaun Kenangan) 2009 bagi menaikkan elaun penerima pingat tersebut daripada RM300 kepada RM1,500 diluluskan.

Ends.

Namun ada satu lagi cerita mengenai Anwar Ibrahim - dulu dia selalu hentam media arus perdana seperti TV3, Berita Harian, Utusan Malaysia, RTM, The Star kerana selalu menyebelahi BN dan sering menghentam pembangkang dan beliau... Anwar melabelkan media arus perdana itu dengan pelbagai label yang negatif!!!

Tapi cuba katakan pada Anwar - siapakah yang membantu Anwar Ibrahim menjadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri dulu setelah beliau menang jawatan Timbalan Presiden UMNO dengan menewaskan Allahyarham Tun Ghafar Baba pada 1993?? Siapa??

Jawapannya Media arus perdanalah yg menaikkan beliau - media arus perdana seperti Berita Harian, Utusan Malaysia, TV3, RTM dan The Star lah yang mengikut dia ke hulu ke hilir, siang malam, buat liputan kempen ceramah dia menentang Tun Ghafar - semua media arus perdana ikut dia... dan semua ini disiarkan di berita perdana jam 8 pm dan muka hadapan surat2 khabar perdana...

Sedikit saja media yg sokong Tun Ghafar meskipun ketika itu Tun Ghafar adalah Timbalan Perdana Menteri merangkap incumbent/penyokong Timbalan Presiden UMNO.

Kesudahannya, 19 daripada 20 Bahagian UMNO di Sabah, mencalonkan Anwar bagi jawatan Timbalan Presiden UMNO, hanya 1 Bahagian sahaja iaitu Marudu yg diketuai Allahyarham Tun Mustafa Datu Harun yg mencalonkan Tun Ghafar. Keadaan itu amat merungsingkan Ghafar kerana ketika itu dia adalah Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan UMNO Sabah - tetapi kepimpinannya ditolak oleh UMNO Sabah sendiri...

Ini memaksa Tun Ghafar meletakkan jawatan sebagai Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan UMNO Sabah... dan tidak lama selepas itu Tun Ghafar mengumumkan perletakan jawatannya sebagai Timbalan Presiden UMNO.

Ini kerana selain di Sabah, pencalonan diterima Anwar di seluruh negara jauh meninggalkan pencalonan diterima Tun Ghafar, sehinggalah memaksa Tun Ghafar meletakkan jawatan Timbalan Presiden UMNO dan Timbalan Perdana Menteri.

Kesudahannya, Anwar Ibrahim menang tanpa bertanding jawatan Timbalan Presiden UMNO - menerusi bantuan Media arus perdana... tetapi setelah dia dipecat dari UMNO pada 1998, Anwar melabelkan pula media arus perdana dengan pelbagai label negatif....!!!

Baby delivered at 2,000 feet!

Air Asia - Malaysia's first low cost airlines and winner of a hosts of international airlines awards, recorded another first in its history.

On Wednesday, 21st October 2009, an AirAsia Flight AK 6506 from Penang en route to Kuching turned from a routine flight into a historic one.

A passenger, Liew Siaw Hsia, 31, suddenly went into labour and subsequently gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

When Liew began to show signs of discomfort, an emergency re-route to Kuala Lumpur was immediately initiated.

Luckily a doctor was on board. Dr. Ronald Tang, attended to Liew and provided initial medical attention.

He was assisted by the airline’s flight attendants, who instantaneously rendered essential support and ensured Ms. Liew’s comfort in preparing for delivery of her baby on board.

Well, the baby boy was safely delivered when flight AK 6506 was approaching Kuala Lumpur for landing at 2, 000 feet.

As soon as the aircraft landed, an ambulance, medical staff and AirAsia ground staff were already waiting to transfer the mother and baby to the hospital.

AirAsia also provided an ambulift to facilitate transfer of both mother and baby from the aircraft into the ambulance. They were brought to Putrajaya Hospital for further medical care.

AirAsia’s Director of Operations Moses Devanayagam, Flight Attendant Manager Jackie Teo and flight attendants visited the mother and child at the hospital to convey their well wishes and announced that they are granted free flights on AirAsia for life.

AirAsia is also very happy to have a first baby delivered onboard its aircraft, and that both mother and baby are healthy and safe.

Moses said, “I would like to congratulate Ms. Liew and wish her all the best of luck. Delivering a baby at 2,000 feet is indeed a very rare experience, and certainly she will cherish the moment forever. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we decided to present both mother and child with free flights for life. We look forward to them flying AirAsia for many years to come.


“I would also like to thank Dr. Ronald Tang for giving Ms. Liew the best care whilst the flight was on course to Kuala Lumpur. Facilitating a birth on a flight is definitely a heroic feat, and we are very privileged to have him onboard,” he concludes.


When contacted by AirAsia yesterday, the hero of flight AK 6506, Dr. Ronald Tang praised AirAsia’s competency in handling the situation.


He said, “AirAsia’s staff did a great job in handling the situation. They were very efficient and helpful. The staff has done something really significant by comforting, reassuring and accompanying the mother at all times. The delivery was blessed with no complications. The mother and baby were safe and immediately transferred to the hospital upon landing. Everything was smooth and efficient. Well done to all!”

Well... well done to Air Asia as well...!!!

Message from Tunku Abdul Rahman great grand daughter???

Tunku Abdul Rahman


The most iconic moment in Malaysian history - Tunku Abdul Rahman proclaiming Malaya independence from British rule on 31st August, 1957 at the Merdeka Stadium, Kuala Lumpur...


Well... i received this via email.

It is difficult to verify wether it was indeed Tunku Abdul Rahman's great grand daughter who wrote this.. anyway to me, this writing is good for unity in a multi racial country like Malaysia.

For those who do not have any idea who Tunku Abdul Rahman is, well Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj was the first Prime Minister of Malaysia (at that time known as Malaya), after gaining independence from British on the 31st August 1957.

The late Tunku Abdul Rahman was also known as Bapa Kemerdekaan (the Father of Independence)...

MESSAGE FROM TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN'S GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER

Tunku Abdul Rahman's great grand daughter
Sharyn Lisa Shufiyan, 24,
Conservationist

"Both my parents are Malay. My mum's heritage includes Chinese, Thai
and Arab, while my dad is Minangkabau. Due to my skin colour, I am
often mistaken for a chinese.

I'm happy that I don't have the typical Malay look but I do get
annoyed when people call me Ah Moi or ask me straight up "Are you
Chinese or Malay"

Like, why does it matter? Before I used to answer "Malay" but now I'm
trying to consciously answer Malaysian instead.

There's this incident from primary school that I remember till today.
Someone told me that I will be called last during Judgement Day
because I don't have a Muslim name. Of course, I was scared then but
now that I'm older, I realise that a name is just a name. It doesn't
define you as a good or bad person and there is definitely no such
thing as a Muslim name. You can be named Rashid or ALI and still be a
Christian.

I've heard of the 1Malaysia concept, but I think we don't need to be
told to be united. We've come such a long way that it should already
be embedded in our hearts and minds that we are united. Unfortunately,
you can still see racial discrimination and polarisation. There is
still this ethno-centric view that the Malays are the dominant group
and their rights must be protected, and non Malays are forever the
outsiders.

For the concept to succeed, I think the government should stop with
the race politics. It's tiring, really. We grew up with application
forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative
image of the other races, stop thinking about 'us' and 'them' and
focus on 'we', 'our' and 'Malaysians' .

No one should be made uncomfortable in their own home. A dear Chinese
friend of mine said to me once, "I don't feel patriotic because I am
not made to feel like Malaysia is my home, and I don't feel an
affinity to China because I have never lived there.

I know some baby Nyonya friends who can trace their lineage back
hundreds of years. I'm a fourth generation Malaysian. If I am
Bumiputra, why can't they be, too? Clearly I have issues with the
term.

I think the main reason why we still can't achieve total unity is
because of this 'Malay rights' concept. I'd rather 'Malay rights' be
replaced by human rights. So unless we get rid of this Bumiputra
status, or reform our views and policies on rights, we will never
achieve unity.

For my merdeka wish, I'd like for Malaysians to have more voice, to
be respected and heard. I wish that the government would uphold the
true essence of parliamentary democracy. I wish for the people to no
longer fear and discriminate against each other, to see that we are
one and the same.

I wish that Malaysia would truly live up to the tourism spin of
Malaysia truly Asia . Malaysians to lead - whatever their ethnic
background. Only ONE NATIONALITY -MALAYSIAN. No Malays, No Chinese,
No Indians - ONLY MALAYSIANS.

Sex Maniac Teacher??

Maybe the male teacher is obsessed with Pamela Anderson?????

This also proves that men will go at length and will try everything to mate with his favourite mating partner!!!!!

The Star newspaper reported that a temporary teacher with a secondary school in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia was almost fooled into having sex with her colleague after he pretended to be an undercover special health officer researching “diseases affecting female teachers.”

The teacher - known only as Hani, 24, said the teacher had told her that his research comprised three phases, the first of which would require her to answer questions on the size of her breasts and waist.

She would then be required to get intimate with the teacher in the second phase and finally, have sex with him under the third phase, which was also a “weight test”.

Hani alleged that she had signed an agreement as well as a confidentiality form to participate in the study after the teacher approached her in March.

The “study” then moved onto the next phase, in which Hani said she was told to go to an empty classroom.

“In the classroom, he hugged me from behind before performing other sexual acts on me,” she said, adding that she pushed the man away after suspecting something was amiss.

“The next phase was even worse when he asked me to have sex with him,” she said, claiming that during this time, the teacher was stark naked and getting ready to film the sex romp.

“Frightened, I then fled from the classroom,” said Hani.

Since that day, Hani alleged the teacher has been harrassing her through phone messages, asking her for money as “penalty” for not completing the study and claiming that she could be “sued” by the Education Ministry.

The man even claimed that the Public Services Department could take action against her and her other family members serving in the Government.

“I lodged a police report on Aug 18 after I could no longer take his harassment. I have also filed a complaint with both the Health and Education Ministries and the department,” said Hani.

She said she also believed that the teacher had “conned” other victims in the school but that they were reluctant to come forward.

The teacher was subsequently remanded for seven days before being released and is said to be still teaching in the same school.

State education director Datuk Abdullah Muhamad confirmed the case was still under investigation and the matter would be brought up to the ministry.

Jempol Chief Police Officer Supt Mohd Sabri Muhamad@Awang also confirmed the incident.

Well men will go at length to mate with his favourite mating partner!!!!

The Mystery of the Dead Mermaid in Pulau Balambangan, Sabah

News of a a dead Mermaid, found off the beach in Pulau Balambangan or Balambangan island in Kudat, Sabah, Malaysia, recently, was a hot topic among Malaysians..

To verify the claim, the police sent a team to investigate including a forensic team..

And one of the newspaper - The Star reported that it was indeed a hoax..

But if it was a hoax, who did it?? and for what purpose?? What happened to the culprits?? Have they been arrested??

As far as i know, the closest things a mermaid came ashore in Sabah was during the filming of Duyung (Mermaid) starring Maya Karin and Saiful Apek among others in Pulau Sipadan, Sipadan island in Semporna!!!!!!

The Mermaid footage :



The news report by the Star :


‘Dead mermaid’ tale


KOTA KINABALU: A “dead mermaid” has reportedly been found on the beach of an island off Sabah’s northern Kudat district, causing a lot of excitement in the state.

A clip has also surfaced on YouTube of the “mermaid” lying dead on the shores of the island.

The clip has been on YouTube under the heading “Dead Mermaid in Kudat” since Oct 3, but tales of the mysterious find had begun much earlier.

Police, have, however brushed off any talk of a dead mermaid.

“It is a hoax, someone is playing the fool,” said Kudat police chief Deputy Supt Dawi Ossen yesterday.

He said they too had got wind of such talk spreading around Kudat town earlier this week, and had checked with the villagers of Pulau Balambangan where the “mermaid” was found.

“There was no such thing; neither had any body been washed ashore,” he said, explaining that the video clip did not show the island’s surroundings as claimed.

DSP Dawi added that a resort operator there had told police nothing unusual had been found on the island in recent weeks.

“I hope people don’t get taken in by the video clip, it is totally baseless. Most likely, it’s someone playing a trick,” he added.

Initially when the rumours spread, police assumed that a human body had been found on the island.

They were prompted to check the rumours because of concern that people might not have reported finding a dead person.

when was the last time a world leader banged the table at the United Nations General Assembly??

At the 1960 United Nations General Assembly or UNGA, historical and legendary figures were all present in New York... and it was at the height of the Cold War!!!

Just name them - President Soekarno of Indonesia, Fidel Castro of Cuba, a young King Hussein of Jordan and of course Nikita Khruschev aka The Crusher of the Soviet Union.

During the assembly, Khruschev shocked everybody at the UNGA when he banged the table repeatedly with his fists (Iron Fists!!!!!)

At that moment, British Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan was delivering his speech.

That was recorded as one of the top 10 moments in the history of the United Nations General Assembly!!!

Maybe Mr Khruschev was offended by Macmillan remarks or maybe it was the effect of Vodka!!!!!

The footage can be seen below at 01.11 :

Mampukah UMNO berubah di bawah kepimpinan Najib?

Sebentar tadi, kita semua menyaksikan ucapan penggulungan penuh semangat oleh Presiden UMNO ke 7, Dato Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak di perhimpunan Agung UMNO ke 60 di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra.

Najib berkata semboyan sudah dibunyikan, ayuh semua ahli dan pemimpin UMNO turun ke padang, tidak kira di desa mahupun kota, perkasakan dan perkuatkan parti keramat ini!!!

Beliau juga berkata pindaan perlembagaan UMNO bagi menghapuskan sistem Kuota adalah sesuatu yang radikal.... dan ini bermakna Presiden UMNO sendiri sudah kehilangan perisai untuk jawatan itu...

Namun Najib dengan bijaksana sekali berkata perisai beliau kini adalah ahli ahli UMNO sendiri.

Kini, pemilihan jawatan tertinggi UMNO samada di peringkat Majlis Tertinggi, Naib Presiden, Timbalan Presiden dan Presiden, bakal ditentukan oleh 146,000 ahli di peringkat cawangan dan tidak lagi oleh 2,500 perwakilan di perhimpunan agung UMNO.

Bagi Najib, ini adalah satu sejarah dan perubahan terbesar yang pernah dialami UMNO selaku parti tulang belakang Barisan Nasional dan parti pemerintah di Malaysia.

Beliau mengakhiri ucapannya dengan melaungkan "Hidup UMNO" sebanyak 3 kali...

Najib turut melahirkan penghargaan kepada bekas Presiden UMNO, Pak Lah yang turut hadir dan duduk bersama sama perwakilan yang lain selaku Ketua Bahagian Kepala Batas.

Hidup Najib, Hidup UMNO... Hidup Demokrasi... Hidup 1 Malaysia, Hidup segala bangsa di Malaysia, Hidup semua penduduk Malaysia tidak kira di Perlis, Sabah, Pensiangan, Sungai Petani, Kuala Krai, Kinabatangan, Bagan Pinang, Sirusa, Port Dickson atau Sarikei...!!!!!

The many faces of the Halo Phenomena

The above image and visual was recorded over Moscow sky recently - it is like UFO - Perhaps the X-Files team of Agent Scully and Agent Mulder can investigate??

Could it be an Alien spaceship disguising as Halo??

The image below is the Halo phenomenon recorded over the sky of Putatan, Sabah, Malaysia in 2007.



The bizzare aspect of it was - the Halo phenomenon was seen in the Malaysian sky at the very same day when Malaysia's first austronaut - Dr Sheikh Mudzafar Shukor blasted into space via the Russian Soyuz TMA spacecraft....!!!

Could the Halo phenomenons bring Good Luck to the place where it occured??

Could be...

Jika anda mempunyai nafsu seks yang luar biasa.. awas

Lelaki dicipta secara semulajadinya untuk suka kepada wanita. Atas sebab itulah institusi perkahwinan yang normal adalah lelaki mengahwini wanita. Bukannya lelaki berkahwin dengan lelaki atau wanita berkahwin dengan wanita.

Tidak dinafikan, seks adalah aspek penting dalam kehidupan rumah tangga. Seorang lelaki yang normal pasti tertarik secara seksual kepada wanita. Itu normal. Namun, jika lelaki itu tertarik secara seksual kepada lelaki lain, maknanya lelaki itu tidak normal.

Dalam konteks ini, nafsu seks lelaki yang berlebihan dan tidak dikawal, pasti mengundang insiden yang tidak diingini.

Cuba baca artikel berita harian online hari ini. Ia mengisahkan seorang kontraktor berusia 53 tahun di Gemas, Negeri Sembilan, yang mempunyai 3 isteri tetapi 3 isterinya itu masih tidak mencukupi untuk memuaskan hawa nafsu serakahnya yang buas.

Sebaliknya lelaki itu menjadikan adik iparnya yang baru berusia 13 tahun sebagai hamba seks sejak 3 tahun lalu.

Setiap kali melakukan perbuatan itu, lelaki terbabit akan menghadiahkan barangan berjenama serta wang kepada adik iparnya, bagi mengabui tindakan tidak beretika dan bermoral itu.

Sepandai pandai menutup mulut tempayan, akhirnya bau nangka pasti dapat dihidu.

Nah, perbuatan lelaki itu akhirnya berjaya dihidu oleh kakaknya pada hari raya kedua lalu, setelah mangsa didesak membuat pengakuan ekoran syak wasangka adiknya itu iaitu si mangsa memiliki telefon bimbit berjenama mahal sedangkan dia masih bersekolah.

Menurut polis, lelaki itu kini menghilangkan diri sebaik menyedari perbuatannya itu dikesan.

Berita penuh adalah seperti di bawah :

Lelaki tiga isteri jadikan ipar hamba seks, diburu.

GEMAS: Polis memburu seorang kontraktor yang mempunyai tiga isteri kerana dipercayai menjadikan adik iparnya berusia 13 tahun sebagai hamba seks sejak tiga tahun lalu.

Lelaki berusia 53 tahun itu didakwa menawarkan pelbagai hadiah termasuk barangan berjenama dan wang bagi memujuk mangsa mengadakan hubungan seks setiap kali adik isteri ketiganya itu datang ke rumahnya pada cuti persekolahan.

Bagaimanapun, perbuatan lelaki itu akhirnya terbongkar apabila mangsa membuat pengakuan selepas didesak seorang lagi kakaknya sebelum membuat laporan di Balai Polis Gemas di sini pada hari raya kedua, Isnin lalu.
Ketua Polis Daerah Tampin, Superintendan Zull Aznam Haron, ketika dihubungi mengesahkan menerima laporan mangsa, tetapi enggan mengulas kerana siasatan masih dijalankan.

Difahamkan, pelajar tingkatan satu sebuah sekolah menengah di Jempol itu kali pertama dirogol abang iparnya pada Jun 2006 ketika mangsa berusia 10 tahun dan perbuatan itu tidak disedari isteri ketiga lelaki berkenaan yang berusia lingkungan 20-an.

Mangsa dikatakan diberi pelbagai hadiah, termasuk barangan berjenama dan wang bagi merahsiakan perbuatan itu.
