come what may.....
Hi Folks,
Back again...after a week of the Eid Mubarak Break....back to life again.......
Takziah/Condolence
Very tragic to hear our fellow countryman who was a photojournalist from Bernama lost his life. Let us put politics aside, he was there simply to cover the famine or humanitarian crisis that has been lingering in Somalia for decades. No doubt, we want the culprit who is responsible for his death to face justice, but again his bravery and sense of humanity is what should make us Malaysian proud because we assisting and lending a hand to another country that is really in need of food and medicine.
It is really unfortunate that when incidence like this happen, there are groups of 'intelligent people' who just love to gain the political mileage and start condemning and finding blame with what has happened.
Obviously, the government have done its part to ensure that the trip was going to be safe, but as unexpected the unfortuante incident happened. To make it interesting according to BBC, the shot that was responsible for the death of our fellow countryman was coming from the Peacekeeping force of the African Union! Not from bandits or militias or gangs or thugs, but from the Peackeeping force from the African Union countries. Strange that the so-called possible source of firing is from the Peackeeping force of the African Union, but again the Somali Government have promised to investigate and provide a full report on the incident.
For the time-being let us share this moment of grief and again prayer for Allahyarham Noramfaizul Mohd Nor. Al-Fatihah.
Say What...Gloryfying Malayan Communist Party...!?
Much is said about the 'Bukit Kepong' incident back in the early 1950s when the police station was lost to the Communist attack. It was a startling blow to the British and the Anti-Communist force at that time.
Lately in the news, PAS one of the 3 parties that form what is Pakatan Rakyat which is the infamous Opposition Bloc is saying otherwise. Yes, they are saying that Mat Indera the so-called 'fighter' in the Communist force was merely fighting against the British. Sounds like 'war of independence' or some sort. Are we saying that that all this while the Malayan Communist Party, the party or guerilla group that was once terrorizing Malaya is the actual 'freedom fighters'. Fighting for freedom and independence of Malaya...against the British....BUT wait.....hello they are fighting to gain independence for Malaya to establish a Communist State! What is the world going right now. Don't these so called smart politicians from the other political spectrum (ie. Pakatan Rakyat) know that thanks to the MCP, a lot of innocent lives and properties were lost and damaged.
The MCP were responsible for a lot of atrocities and not to mention causing grievous harm and instability to Malaya at that time. Not to mention, isn't that the MCP got their moral support from one of the Communist Giants (beside USSR) at that time which was China due to the 'Cold War' effects.
Now in the latest saga, PAS is saying that the late Mat Indera is the true freedom fighter and that he was fighting against the British in the whole Bukit Kepong incident. Mat Indera decided to join MCP to be part of the guerrilla resistance against the British rule. But wait hold on here, the MCP not just harm the British, but also innocent lives of other Malayans at that time. Of course like any patriot, Mat Indera has the right to fight for independence, but he joined the wrong party or group. Maybe he must have hate the Brits so much that he decided to go for 'arm struggle'.
One thing for sure a lot of our former soldiers and police have done so much to fight the Communist threats and terrorism in order to regain stabilization of Malaya and thus leading to independence in 31 August 1957.
One thing that we must not forget, the Baling Talk which was the only room that was given to MCP to give up their armed struggle and Communism, but they rejected it because of wanting to uplift the Communist thoughts and beliefs.
Thank God that our late PM Tunku Abdul Rahman (Father of Independence) managed to seek independencce the peaceful way and later after 1957 the so-called Communist struggle gradually phased out.
In my opinion, let us not get distracted by resurructing the Communist so-called fighters cause thanks to them there are families who have lost their loves ones and yes it does leaves bitterness, anger, and resentment until today. Rememer the Communist uprising or armed guerilla struggle was just part of the Cold War phenomenon when Communism was on the rise. We were just lucky that Malaya was not like Vietname, Laos, or Cambodia. We managed to pull through and gain independence the peaceful way and 'naturally' led to the decline of the communist terrorism in Malaya.
Cheerios!

Before, During, After....RaYa...
Hi folks,
welcome back again.....
Hari Raya Aidilfitri is coming close to us in less than 2 weeks...
One thing again that trigger in my head is the usual and unfortuante, sad news....yes....accidents.
To all fellow Malaysians,
Drive carefully. Think of your loved ones. There is no reason for us to break the rules of driving.
Let us strive to get the number of accidents to a minimum. It is really heartbreaking to see every Hari Raya since 1997 (when I came back to Malaysia), there are just so many incidents of accidents be it minor or major.
The authorities (Police and Road Transport Department) tirelessly monitors the road and highways and at the same time enforces the law.
Whatever it is; it is sad to see innocent lives gone thanks to the accident.
For us to be really ready for the future, for vision 2020 or even the 21st century, we've got to drive safe and smart. Yes we have one of the best highways in the world, but our attitude and 'crazy' style of driving got to stop.
The decision is yours my fellow Malaysians, love your country, love your family, and love your life.
Cheerios!

So Long Shammi!
Hi Guys,
BAck again to the world of blogging!
Midway thru Ramadhan
I was shocked only to learn that the once great Hindi/Bollywood Legend that I still admire today, the Great Shammi Kappor has left us for good.
BAck again to the world of blogging!
Midway thru Ramadhan
Imagine it is already the midpoint of the holy month of Ramadhan and time is flying fast. Alhamdulillah, thanks to the almight Allah, the fasting month is going smooth for me. In less than 2 weeks from now, it will be Aidil Fitri. Talk about shopping..haven't done it yet.
Shammi Kapoor
I was shocked only to learn that the once great Hindi/Bollywood Legend that I still admire today, the Great Shammi Kappor has left us for good. He was really an amazing actor. A mix of 'ol Blue Eye, Elvis, and Jerry Lewis in my opinion formswhat is or was the Great Shammi Kapoor. He was what epitomoze the popularity of Bollywood movies. If it was not for him, Bollywood wouldn't be like today.
First time, I was watching his movie was 'Jungalee'. Yup, remember in the 80s, I was like watching the tape 10 to 20 times....just admiring his acting and not to mention his good looks. He was versatile and talented all the way.
He will surely be missed by everyone be it old fan, current fan, and soon to become fan.
Shammi, we will miss you. Thanks for the movies!
Cheerios!

August....Awesome!
hey guys,
back finally after a long break...i mean blog break that is...
weird to start blogging..
Yup, it is the fasting month (Ramadhan).
Every year for Muslims all around the world; it is time to appreciate what Allah have gave to us the precious meaning of life. Of course, as a Muslim, we must always be very thankful for what we have no matter how difficult life can be.
MAS and AK = MASAK!
Surprise surprise...anyone know of this... It finally happen. A major development in the history of Aviation. An interesting phenomena. Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia together, definitely not a merger, but some sort of partnership. Reviewing the news; it looks like there is pros and cons... Hopefully this time around something good is going to happen out of it...
Elvis...!
The king of Rock n Roll; well he is RIP. May his memories linger on. Next week will be his...can't remember...but the day he 'left the building'. Gotta play some Elvis tunes.
Cheerios!

Close to June already...GOLLY!
Hi Folks,
Yup back again to the world of blog....
Prices going up....Good Grief!
As expected the electricity tariff went up as announced by the Government. Of course not just that, but just almost everything from food items, clothings, etc.
Of course blame it on the instability of the world economy and blah blah blah. Well we've got to admit that the price of oil does have a correlation with the market price around the world. Price of tickets especially airline is increased.
This expected inflation is again a normal phenomena I mean it will happen and there is no reversing or two way about it.
Reality speaks that the price do go up over a certain period and that also include the price of Gold.
As an average Joe, one just have to be prudent in spending and be more economical savy.
Politically; Government and Opposition will have a field day with the pros and cons of it and again the average Joe just have to tolerate the bickering and focus on how to stay alive in this mad and friendly jungle!
RareEarth Issue
Pretty hot issue especially after the Fukushima reactor crisis. To make long story short; a company from Australia is investing in building the rare earth plant in Kuantan and of course strong opposition from fine citizens of Kuantan.
Well we've got to symphasize or emphathize with the Kuantan citizen for standing up and ask that the project be abolish completely.
Like they say, let us see both sides of the coin. Pros.....provide jobs and better economic investment for Kuantan (especially for state of Pahang)...and Cons.....environmental damage (possible radiation involve).
It is good to know that in order to ensure and assure that all views are listen and taking note of; the Government have have invited International experts especially from IAEA to do a complete study to see as to whether it will bring good or harm to the people.
We will just wait n see.....as usual...some say!
