Of life, live, leave and...

"Life in the fast lane"

Lately Sirul grabs the headlines with all the right wrong move? Now, it is my turn to see from angle...


Out in the outbacks, Sirul, one of the two accused of killing Altantanya, claimed that he acted under orders. Before his PR man can strategise answers, 1MPM6 rubbishes Sirul's claim. I have nothing against that but the question is "Why should 1MPM6 reacted to a statement made by a fugitive way out in Australia. Has 1MPM6 nothing better to do? It is his rights to comment on anything but why chose Sirul's statement? Unless 1MPM6 is keeping track on the Mongolian case...

I have no problem if PAS extends their hand to get Sirul's mum to Australia. However, the question is - "If Sirul can travel to Australia, his mum could not afford to travel there, meh?" Why did Sirul choose Australia? Why not Indonesia? Philippine? Cambodia? Bigger mystery is - Why only Sirul? Why didn't Azilah, his supposed to be partner not travelling prior to the Apex court decision?

Let's us spare the "who dun it". Let's be rational and think both inside and outside the box. Sirul claimed that there is a miscarriage of justice because some is not called to the witness stand. He further claimed that the court failed to determine the motive of killing and he is found guilty due to circumstatial evidence. Fine, consider these :-

1. Sirul's co-accused is a Cif Inspector. Bwteen the two, who do you think will receive the "order to kill"?. I bet it is the Cif who receive the "inspiration" and he rope in Sirul to complete the mission. That said, do you think Sirul knows all the "background story" or did he only knows on a "need to know basis"?;
2. Why is Cif in Malaysia when Sirul can "travel" to Australia? So far, Sirul did not reveal why he travels to Australia and whether his travelling is "sponsored" by someone else. I am not belittling Sirul but at this time and age, it is not easy to spend thousands to travel. What more when you stay in Australia for months. Where did he get his money? Or is it part of the "payment" from bumping someone off to another world?;
3. Why is Cif's lawyer quiet. Cif accepts his sentence and happ to see Sirul out there, still free and enjoying his limelights?;
4. Or is CIF the last secret weapon who will finally say that Sirul acted beyond orders? They were never meant to bump the girl off but to scare her? Only Sirul cary it one step too far?
5. Sirul has been plying "cat and mouse". One time, he indicated he wanted to tell all and at some other point he says he acted on orders. Will the real Sirul stand up and tell the world what really happen?;
6. Both Sirul and Cif is in 1MPM6's elite squad. Most probably they will be travelling with 1MPM6 around the world. Is it possible for Sirul and Cif to know the model through their mission and either one or both of them has intimiate relation with the girl? I heard bodyguards make better lovers than their bosses... And it is them and they only who decidesto bump off the girl, anticipating they are doing it for the "boss"?;
7. Cif resigned to his fate as he has a fiancee at the time of the crime. Is it possible that he is currently at peace with his conscious?;
8. Cif in Sg Buloh, Anwar in Sg Bulog. Both in solitary confinement. One on murder row, the other on political death throes...is it possible for them to join hands and come with their version, something about political conspiracy?;
9. If Sirul's mum manage to meet Sirul, is it possible for something happening happen that Sirul will be unable to tell his side of the story?;
10. I agree with some when they say Sirul should has open up during the trial. However, how can he do it if the "hooded" persons walking into the court is not really Sirul or Cif? It may be far fetched but not impossible...;
11. If Malaysia inteliggence has done the impossible before, it is not difficult to silence Sirul. Maybe Raja Bomoh can "knock off" Sirul with another of his ridiculous stunt;

Sirul choose to live "life on the fast lane". In fast lane, life is an uncertain commodity. It is his choive to live it and bask in the glory whilst the time last. I did not see other media taking hoot on Sirul. No CNN, No ABC...not many Australia media paying attention to him. 2 weeks down the line, Sirul's story will be another one down the drain, unless he is willing to make more definitive explosive revealation.

Sirul choose to leave Malaysia, in fact he did not choose to leave Malaysia but rather chose to run from Maaysia. I could not use the word "escape" and he walks out with a legitimate passport. It is also Sirul's choice to return to Malaysia on his free will. The only thing is, if he do choose to return and tell - wll it be the end for one politician? political adviser? Or will it be another one of those possible "time sharing" case..and Sirul together Cif is the real fall guy?

I remember years ago about another case involving a beaiful girl, ony she was local. The case was sensational and there is an unknown DNA in her case. Surely the "mrderer" was sentenced and later freed. Not only that, the last time I hear, he was promoted to head of department. He was a fall guy but it was worth it. For Sirul and Cif? Time will tell..

Of communication, PR handlers...

Is it miscommunication when a "yes" means "No"?. PR is not Pakatan Rakyat...it means Public Relations, just to minimise miscommunication..




Christmas use to be a season to me merry. Now, a season to be merry has cross boundaries and includes Chinese New Year as well. In a pre_CNY function, we were talking about those who have left us, either due calling from His almighty or by way of imprisonment. Of course, we also talk about the wealthy and someone remarked about 1MPM6's PR man.

Today, Malaysiakini touch on the subject. Let's see if PMO can come out with the same speedy Gonza;les response when it touches one of their own. It seems that this ex_APCO man is paid millions to be in 1MPM6's team. Not only that, there is whispers of his reputation as a clubber in Zouk. As one Urban "legend" says it, he is holding court every night in the entertainment outlets of KL. If that is true, whe will he ever be able to handle his communication and 1MPM6's PR?

Tun M touch on the subject of something rotten in Malaysia. Maybe, 1MPM6 is surrounding himself with rotten apples and this PR guru is just one of the many rotten apples in 1MPM6's basket.

How rotten? Well...it travels as far as Sarawak, if not more when Sarawak report says too much partying for 1MPM6's PR guru. Read it and you may be surprise of what happens. My question is simple - Does 1MPM6 knows about all the partying? Or is 1MPM6 too busy travelling that he overlooks the rotten apple in his basket?

Reading Sarawak report, it reminds me of a book somewhere out there detailing how a guy make his fortune by leeching from his own employers. How does he do it? simple...The employer gives him an assignment and he comes back with his proposal and how much it cost to do the job. Once approved, he sub-let it to a hardworking honest Indian IT savvy guy from the sub-continent whilst this guy enjoys his heart out. The next morning, the subbie will prepare all the necessary report and voila, the employee makes a double killing : report to the boss and gets his monies (and maybe extra perks/incentives) and he then pay a meagre fee to the guy across the world.

I am seeing the same with this PR guru guy when he manage to convince 1MDB (again?) to engage him for PR and he then sub it to one of his friends..easy money. How can this happen? It only happens when the boss is a sleepyhead. Or is it a joint effort from Malaysia's J-Lo/Paul who gets the decision maker to fall for their trap?

With the way it is going, I say that Malaysia is in for more PR trouble soon. The only way to overcome this is to send off Paul. Do you think 1MPM6 is ready for that? As it is, 1MPM6 himself has been giddy for the past few weeks and his inheritance claim is putting 1MPM6 in a difficult situation. Is 1MPM6's mother happy to hear 1MPM6's PR claiming that his riches comes from his inheritance? If that is true, why were there no legal tussle for 1MPM6's wealth when he was Pahang's MB and when he decided to say sayonara to his then woman?

If 1MPM^ was rich due to his inheritance, I would expect a massive matrimonial case ala-Taib's son from Sarawak. I did not recall that happen. On the other hand, Tun Razak is a frugal person and the thoughts of him leaving vast properties and cash as inheritance to his children seems absurd. Unless, of course if 1MPM6 inherited it from other sources... if it can happens in "Great Expectations", then it can happens to 1MPM6...

Maybe the next time around, jounalist can just camped out at one of paul's favourite place for 1MPM6's press statement. That way, news can be dissemate faster...right from the morning wee hours...

Of tidak apa, suka-suka, kasi susah...

Cuti cuti Malaysia...welcome to Malaysia, truly Asia..

And somebody take advantage of our warm hospitality...


If my memory did not fail me, I once highlighted about a private college offering courses to those who gain amnesty.

Regardless of whatever shortcomings, Malaysia is still a good place to stay. It may have its ups and downs, with few getting all the meat whilst the rest of us scrap on the leftovers. Still...there's no place like home.

That said, Malaysians should feel strongly against those who misuse our warm welcome. The STAR reported of firearms seized from an abandon yatch.

The cops revealed the following :-
1. It is a foreign-owned yatch;
2. 5 rifles and 2 pistols with 900 rounds of ammunition;
3. yatch belongs to a South African with criminal record and wanted in his home country;
4. Left unattended since August 2014;

If the man is wanted in his home country, why is he allowed to enter Malaysia? Or are yatch-going persons exempted from the normal CIQ procedure? Is this man passport stamped? If yes, then where is his whereabouts since he left his yatch unattended since 5 months ago?

Does our Marina has a standard SOP preventing unwanted elements from entering and berthing their yatch in the country? Who did the inspection of yatch to ascertain that there are no guns or bombs on board?

Are we getting complacent to the level that our security can be easily breached?

If that is not enough, what about the video inciting protest against the judiciary? The video message :-
hold protests against the judicial system by setting off fire crackers on February 18 at 11.30pm.

Common sense will tell you that tomorrow, our Chinese friends will set off fire crackers near the stroke of midnight to welcome their lunar year. That does mean they are holding protest against the judiciary.

If there is unhappiness against the judiciary, then we have to take the correct method to correct whatever injustice. You have to use the judicial system to prove them wrong.

Malaysians have to be more caring and sensitive of what's going on around us. We can no longer have the "tidak apa" attitude. Our security needs to be tightened and close all the loopholes. We can't afford having wanted criminals as our guest. We have to weed out the wanted criminals, regardless whether they are from Africa or Kazakhstan. Just like Zahid Hamidi says "Equal treatment to all criminals". If all are treated the same, then when is this South African who is wanted in his country? When is the scammer who skimmed off his own father? By the way, how long is an ideal time for engagement before the 2 lovebirds are joined by marriage?

Malaysians can no longer "suka suka" do things. The person(s) who uploaded the video may feel that it's funny but seriously, it is not. Stop making fun of judiciary..eventhough you have your own reservation. Judiciary do not "cabut" when they have done their job. I guess you know what may happen if you do not "cabut"...9 months down the road, you have a child :)

Stop "kasi susah" Malaysians. 2 years down the line, there are those who are still arguing "Did najib/Anwar negotiate prior to GE 13?" With 1MPM6 muted silence, it is up to Rahman Dahlan and KJ to bark off. I wonder - were they in Indonesia as part of najib's negotiation team?

We invited our friendly neighbours to construct our high rise buildings, now it seems that we need to invite them over to tell us who is telling the truth on 1MPM6's offer to Anwar Ibrahim. Is it Anwar or is it KJ/Rahman Dahlan?

Gung Xi Fa Cai to all...

Of MIC's teacup storm...

Broken brokered peace...that's what I see in MIC of today

1MPM previously brokered a deal between Palanivel and Subramaniam. The deal was simple..Palanivel to lead MIC and then "hand over" the baton to Subramaniam somewhere in 2015 or 2016. However, it looks like the deal is going down the drains when ROS instructed MIC to carry out fresh elections. Palanivel plays slow thus earning the wrath of MIC members and with 1MPM calling both Palanivel and Subramaniam to meet him today, something breaks loose, and the deal is as good as gone.

When things seems to be too slow for MIC, Subramaniam declares that he will challenge Palanivel for MIC President post. Subramaniam claims that he has more than 60 % support from MIC branches and division throughout the country. Everybody can make a claim. Whether that is a legitimate claim or not, let the MIC election decides.

One thing that interest me is the absence of Palanivel when 1MPM6 invited both Palanivel and Subramaniam to discuss MIC party issue today. Palanivel claims that :-

1. He could not attend the meeting because he has an emergency concerning his wife;
2. He send S Sothinathan as his representative;
3. Sothinathan was blocked from entering the meeting;

Come on Palanivel, stop the drama! Are you not an MP from Cameron Highland? Are you not a minister in 1MPM6's cabinet? 1MPM6 is just a phone call away and you choose to dispense the protocol and send Sothinathan as your rep? Who is Sothinathan? He maybe MIC sec-gen but 1MPM6 calls for President and Deputy President to the meeting...not MIC sec-general!!You cannot claim bias when you did not take the necessary steps to inform 1MPM6 nor do you take the appropriate steps to contact BN secretary general. What game are you playing? Further, Palanivel has no guts when he opts to choose using SMS when he can always call 1MPM6 247.

Palanivel opts to use his wife as the reason for his absence. Regardless whether it is a real emergency or not, I see Palanivel using his wife in the hope to gain symphaty from RosCTmah. You think RosCTmah will bite the bait?

Palanivel wanted to test his market value by slamming BN and accusing BN of interfering in MIC's crisis. All 1MPM6, DPM and BN sec-gen proposed are :-

1. Barisan Nasional (BN) secretariat to oversee MIC's administration until its fresh elections
2. stick with the 23 current central working committee (CWC) members elected in the 2009 election until the fresh polls are done
3. MIC president is also not allowed to appoint the nine additional members into the CWC during this period
4. the proposed secretariat will help clear up all the illegal branches as pointed out by the Registrar of Societies (ROS).
5. MIC presidential election steering committee that was agreed together with its head Tan Sri K. Kumaran to chair and conduct the elections


Suddenly, Palanivel is now threatening BN for meddling in MIC affairs. This is going to be interesting. Not on MIC but on 1MPM6..can he force Palanivel to toe the line. Does 1MPM6 has the guts to strip Palanivel of his Ministership?

The next few days is going to be interesting especially when ROS is under the purview of another UMNO warlord cum Deputy President. Let's see Palanivel cards when 17th Feb 2015 sun sets...Will Palanivel send his lawyers to ROS?

Of declining education trend, 1MDB and...

My friend asked "What is the similarities between statistical and lady figure"
The answer will be somewhere along the post..

23 Rabiul akhir 1436 sees Malaysia lost one of his learned Ulama' and past MB Kelantan Tuan Guru Nik Aziz Nik Mat. In his 84 years, he had served the nation in many areas, the last as PAS Murshidul Am. May the Creator placed him in Al jannah...

Whilst watching Astro Awani live telecast in Shah Alam's Mak Uda restaurant, this writer met with former boss and later joined by one ex-UTM lecturers. After the normal cordial update, the conversation turn to education. These 2 gentlemen concluded our state of education is declining. The leading factor to this decline is the mushrooming of over 400 college/college universities/universities and the failure of Malaysia's Ministry of Education to ensure the quality of our graduates.

The ex-UTM lecturer who is now a lecturer in one of the private colleges mentioned that there is no substance in our education. Reason? Our new breed of lecturers lacks the working experience and rely on their academic qualification to teach. As a result, our students are force feed with academic knowledge but lacks the hands-on experience and application. This is expected when the lecturers are themselves devoid of adequate hands-on experience. That said, the lecturers are then beholden to books and papers. This is different from the time when the ex-lecturer was roped in from his government post to become lecturer in UTM.

Now comes the better part, this ex-lecturer said that although he has been on the private college's payroll for the past 2 years, he hardly had any class. Despite that, he has been extended for another year with the college. When asked, he believed that his appointment is mote to get the college accreditation as well as the college promo as having few senior lecturers in their set-up. How wide is this practise? Apparently quite common in the private colleges...

This partial revealation stunned the ex-boss as he happens to be sitting in the assessment committee. From tertiary education downwards, Malaysia's education system is spiralling. The latest HOTS ie High Order Thinking System bares the truth - Malaysian students are no longer what they are 20-30 years ago. Our students are too exam-oriented and lacks the substance nor critical thinking. The reason may lies with our changing education system which is time and time again reviewed by incoming Ministers. Just because these Ministers want to leave their trademark, the system is now a pasembur - mixture of the wrong kind.

You think that's bad? Worse is yet to come.. In my recent travelling, I came to know of another scheme. That of online education. There is a person now who is looking of introducing online education to our ASEAN neighbours. His scheme? A person will sign-up for distance MBA course for say USD 2,000' payable in 24 monthly scheme. By the end of 2 years, the candidate will be bestowed with an MBA from one of UK's colleges.

What if the person is not affluent in English and writing skills? No problemo. This set-up can "assist" the MBA candidate to write up a good thesis. Janji..semua beres. This friend is looking of launching his MBA scheme somewhere in April...(not in Malaysia, of course).

Can we say that we are still proud of our education system? I pointed out that UTM has been too selective and as far as this writer knows, the university is not offering tutor posts to Masters students. In the end, many potential Masters students drop their course halfway and choose to work over pursuing the Masters course. UTM is also not offering PHd scholarships to lighten the students. You want PHd from UTM? Go find your own sponsor as the university did not have any young lecturer's scheme.

Do you think employers care? Not so... to employers, a degree is a degree regardless you come from UM or private college. Full stop.

1MDB? Yes, news say that 1MDB has paid it's 2B loan using Ananda Krishnan. The question now is - at what cost? Economist will tell you that there is no such thing as "free lunch". If that is the case, what is Ananda Krishnan getting out of it?. Is 1MDB's new CEO's job is to take a loan to pay another loan? If that is the case, any Tom, Dick and Harry can do the job.

Is there anyone out there who knows what happens to 1MDB cash? Or just because Malaysia's J Lo's hands is in the cookie jar, everyone needs to shut up. Or is there any connection between 1MDB and Washington's post article on someone's inherited wealth?

If that is true, are we admitting that Malaysia is on the wrong side of things since 1970's? Now that Anwar Ibrahim is out of the way, Tun M should be firing more and Najib should come up with credible answers. It is time for Najib to stand up and says hie piece. That means, stop relying on one Mat Salleh whose favourite hunting place is Zouk.

But then again, can Najib be reliable when his "pow wow" betwen Pala and Subra is down the drains, up to the limit that ROS may deregister MIC. The best Najib can d s to arrange for meeting between the three come Monday or Tuesday. Here, on its own shows Najib's indecisiveness. Why can't Najib just set a date? Afterall, he is numero uno in BN. If a simple date fixing also Najib fails to decide, how can he decide on MIC's problems?

Ah...what is the similarities between statistics and lady figure? My friend answered "What it reaeals is very interesting, what it hides is very crucial!"

Of erasing, forfeiting and bargaining...

Anwar, IMDB..the saga continues


By now, the reality of not seeing Anwar Ibrahim in action should sink in. Regardless whether one is a BN supporter, opposition supporter or fence sitter, one thing is clear - Anwar is in Sg Buloh..

His family may want to keep his candle burning by announcing 'March to Freedom'. They have every rights to do so and their supporters should be given the space to voice out as long as it did not create disturbance to the country. Honestly, when CJ starts reading his judgement, it is already clear where they are heading to. Nothing to shout about as their judgement is based on what they believe is facts. Are they right? Are they wrong? As far as this writer is concerned, only He is the final judge as both parties claimed they are on the right side.

Saiful felt that he is vindicated with the judgement and Shafee did not feel any joy in this case. However, there are issues and questions which will be ringing in everyone's minds - did it happened? Malaysia's top judges believed it happened. Some observers said it is a political conspiracy...you make your own stand.

Me? I say that Anwar did not listen to his conscience. Anwar's failure is when he misjudge and thinks he is almost untouchable. When does that happened? Way before Sodomy I and way before he was sacked as DPM. When exactly? It started when he was bestowed the DS title and when he belittled others who fondly called him AI. When was that? Anwar knows...

This time around Sg Buloh will be his home for the next 5 years. Will he served the full sentence? Only God knows. Do he has a chance to be released before his 5 years is up? Yes, he has. How? One of this possibility...
1. Full pardon by HRH the King
2. Early release due to good behaviour
3. Early release due to political and external pressure
4. Early release due to judicial review
5. Early release on God's calling

There will be another by-election soon. This will happen when Speaker Pandikar declare Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat vacant as Anwar is serving time in prison. Who will stand for him in Permatang Pauh? Honestly, this writer hopes that it will be someone other than Azizah. Reason? She vacated the seat to make way for Anwar once and for that reason she should not stand in Permatang Pauh lest t will be a political issue to BN. Who will it be then? PKR has several choices..let's see whothey choose and I will be my views...

Anwar's issue should not cloud us from the real threat by the name of 1MDB. Despite the announcement of new CEO, local banks has issued an ultimatum, pay up or face loan default. During lunch today, a CEO friend lamented where's the dough? 1MDB claims they have sufficient funds, this CEO friend is sceptical. 1MDB should make good on it's name and should avoid using the federal government and 1?? to armtwist local banks. Pay if 1MDB has the money or else 1MDB will further pull Malaysia down the drains...

Will Anwar starts bargaining with 1??, will 1MDB bargains with local banks? If the bargains starts taking place, will Tun M be happy keeping quiet? You have your stand and I have mine...
