HOW DARE YOU DISTURB GANG 36: COPS ATTACKED ALONG BANGSAR’S ‘HAPPENING’ JALAN TELAWI STRETCH

KUALA LUMPUR – Three policemen, who were investigating a fighting incident along the happening stretch of Jalan Telawi 3 in Bangsar here, were assaulted by a group of men, early this morning.
In the 4.30am incident, the trio were investigating an incident where six party-goers, who had just left Echo Club, were assaulted by a gang of eight men.

A police source said the gang members were drunk and one of them had pointed a gun at the victims. They fled the scene and lodged a police report.
When the three policemen came to inspect the scene, an unknown man appeared from the Echo Club and shouted at the police, asking them “What’s your problem?”.
Then about eight to 10 men armed with wooden sticks and bottles came out from the club and assaulted the trio.


One of the attackers allegedly shouted, “”How dare you disturb Gang 36?”.
One of the policemen shouted “Police” but to no avail as the men continued to attack the trio.
The men eventually fled when one of the policemen whipped out his gun.
One of the officers sustained serious injury and received 30 stitches on his head at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital. Another was reported to be in a stable condition and was discharged.
The source said police are still in the midst of investigating the case.

What happens when a Muslim woman has an affair with a non-Muslim man?

By Mariam Mokhtar 31 March, 2017

·         Najib Abdul Razak of Umno-Baru is euphoric. He has double crossed PAS  and used Hadi Awang, the PAS president, to achieve his goals.

·         How did he use PAS and why? 

·         Najib used PAS to break-up Pakatan. All he wanted was the complete destruction of Pakatan – the Opposition. 

·         He tricked Hadi and PAS, by implying that together they would unite the Malays and defend Islam.

·         Protect and unite the Malays? Defend Islam? From what? He never said.

·         If you think about it, why would anyone in Umno-Baru  or BN want hudud law? Once you start hudud in Kelantan, it will not be long, before a domino effect starts and hudud law is implemented throughout Malaysia. 

·         Limbless people in Putrajaya

·         Did you think Najib would want a lot of limbless people wandering around the corridors of Putrajaya?

·         In Malaysia, people tend to do things, not because they are right, but because others tell them. Remember how the tudung was implemented in University Malaya in the late 70s and took hold of Malay women? Nowadays, the tudung-less Malay woman is a rarity. 

·         If hudud law were implemented in Malaysia, we’d see a mass migration of élite Muslims, to foreign lands. On your television screens, and in your newspapers, you see and read about Muslim migrants, from North Africa, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq crossing the Mediterranean, walking overland or hiding in container lorries of goods, trying to flee to the west.

·         We’d have a mass migration of Muslim and non-Muslim élites from Malaysia  who have feathered their nests in England, principally London, Australia and America, with their ill-gotten gains. Perhaps, with money that was stolen from the taxpayer.

·         These places in the west are where the élite have their boltholes. They will arrive in their private planes or fly in MAS’ First Class, probably funded by us, the taxpayer.

·         Tok Guru’s warning 

·         “Tok Guru”, the former spiritual adviser of PAS, Nik Aziz Nik Mat, once warned PAS not to trust Umno and Umno-Baru.

·         In May 2013, he said, “If they (Umno) come, I will spit at them. They have misinterpreted Islam.”

·         Poor Hadi. He refused to listen but he was intoxicated by Najib’s sweet talk. Now he looks a fool and is mistrusted by his supporters.

·         Here is a puzzle for you.

·         The Star, dated 27 March, reported that a Muslim woman had an affair with a non-Muslim man.

·         The couple were caught naked, by the khalwat squad, when her husband lodged a report with the moral police.

·         She had fallen in love with the man, who had helped in the expansion of her business .

·         If Hadi’s hudud law was in force, what’s the punishment for this couple?  

·         The woman will be whipped or stoned.

·         As Hadi’s hudud law will not affect non-Muslims, then technically, the man is let off scot-free.

·         Was this a crime, because the adulterous act was not witnessed by four people? Or do the moral police qualify as witnesses?

·         A country cannot have several sets of laws. Sadly in Malaysia, we do not just have two sets of laws.

·         There will be four sets of laws. Civil law. Syariah law. A set of laws for the ordinary folk. Another set of laws for the élite  (Most of them will get away with most crimes). Under syariah law, women are at the bottom of the heap, so, perhaps, we have altogether five sets of laws for Malaysians.

·         Be warned

·         You have not seen the last of Hadi’s hudud bill.

·         When the nation goes through another crisis, like trying to hide another 1MDB episode, or if the Opposition gathers strength again, Najib will give Hadi’s hudud bill another airing and lead us through another drama. He’s done it time and again.

·         Do not let Najib, Umno-Baru and PAS, sidetrack you from their corruption, injustice and wrongdoing.

·         Be on your guard.

Citizen Nades steals our hearts, when exposing “Curi-Curi Malaysia”

Citizen Nades steals our hearts, when exposing “Curi-Curi Malaysia”

       By Mariam Mokhtar

       1 April, 2017

R. Nadeswaran aka Citizen Nades, is arguably Malaysia’s foremost, investigative journalist, who last December, retired as Editor of Special and Investigative Reporting at The Sun. Despite a distinguished career of 45 years as a journalist, he still found time to study and graduate with a law degree, in 1996.
He’s been described as tetchy, argumentative, confrontational and aggressive, but if you know how hard it is to get straight answers from corrupt politicians, then you, too, might end up being belligerent. For those of us with nothing to hide, we only know Nades’ soft-spoken side.
A former Judge, called Nades “the nation’s conscience”, and so he is. In Malaysia, he exposed the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal, a project which ballooned from RM2 billion to RM12 billion. Nades also has a global reach and has investigated  Malaysian connections in scandals, from Australia, to England, to Disneyland Orlando and Hawaii.
In his hometown of Klang, Nades exposed a state councillor, Zakaria Md Deros, who built a palatial mansion, on land meant for low-cost housing. Nades must have fumed, when in the ensuing trial, all charges against Zakaria were dropped, but six months later, Zakaria died of a heart attack.
In London, Nades broke the story about the Awana Chelsea Restaurant, the Malaysian irregularities in the Chelsea Flower Show  and another white elephant; the sports centre in Brickendonbury. There are many other London scandals.

The interview 

1.    You have not been banned, from travel, or charged for sedition, despite your many exposés. Do you have friends in high places?

Even friends in high places will not come to help when you get into trouble. They won’t want to be associated with a trouble maker, would they?
No! I don’t have such friends. But there are ordinary folk who will come to my aid should I be pulled up for what I stand for.  Touch wood, I have stayed out of trouble by being careful. But never say NEVER!

2.    You consciously avoid race, religion and political issues so as to be able to write uncensored.

What would happen if a whistle-blower were to bring you information about a scandal involving the Tabung Haji or the Zakat fund – both of which are politically charged and involve race and religion? Would you act on it, or do nothing?

If it involves people’s money, I am ready to sink my teeth in. but if it is of religious interpretation, I would rather leave it to the experts because I am not well-versed in such areas.

3.    What is the normal route for investigating an irregularity in government? Does it start with an anonymous letter, posted to you?

It starts with a tip-off or a lead. Sometimes by post, sometimes hand-delivered — most of the time anonymously. There are some who e-mail and want to meet up to hand over documents. Some call over the phone.

4.    Which of your exposés, has given you the most sleepless nights?

I think it was Brickendonbury. So much was at stake for far too many people. They even roped in so-called foreign experts to say the project will be good for Malaysia.
Besides, they threw in Najib’s name for a good measure. The Youth and Sports Minister at the time, Azalina Othman Said was adamant that it would go on.
They had PR consultants, advisers the whole lot. Finally, they used threats, They wanted to charge me and the editor for “acting against national interests”. No such offence on the statute books.
They were exposed each time I wrote something. They were embarrassed. They wanted their pound of flesh.

5.    Have you received threats, to try to prevent you from investigating a particular story?

Yes and No…. long tales to tell and I am not talking about it.

6.    The trend is this: Rakyat’s money vanishes. Someone has stolen it. No one is found guilty.

Your exposés are probably the tip of the iceberg, but the rakyat carries on as normal. What’s wrong with this rakyat?

Don’t ask me. I am can only expose the shortcomings. I don’t have powers to prosecute. If the people are content that theft of their money is acceptable, what can I say? But I will continue to comment on abuse of power and money.

7.    You said that you have covered every election since 1969, and you miss writing. GE-14 is coming up.

What will you do now? Rejoin The Sun?

I don’t know. I will decide when this whole book project is completed by end of April. Going on the lecture circuit is an option. But I will continue to write, if not for the The Sun, some other platform which is willing to give me the freedom and the backing. I don’t intend (for the moment)  to be a blogger — post-paid or pre-paid but the efforts of independent-minded journalists must be supported.

8.    Will Najib triumph in GE-14? 

I don’t know but hopefully, the rakyat will make the right decision.

MALAYSIAN, INDIAN FIRMS TO DEVELOP PORT & MARITIME CITY PROJECTS ON CAREY ISLAND

First it was china and hoping been friendly with China , the Malaysian Chinese will vote BN , the Mlaysian Chinese welcome the Chinese business but say vote not for sale and mind made up , DO NOT LIKE YOU AND BN SO WILL VOTE PH-DAP-PKR-PRIBUMI-AMANAH

Second now India and The Malaysia Indians have only one this to say to you and BN. See below

MALAYSIAN, INDIAN FIRMS TO DEVELOP PORT & MARITIME CITY PROJECTS ON CAREY ISLAND

NEW DELHI – Malaysian and Indian companies will jointly develop port and maritime city projects worth about US$32 billion (RM142 billion) on Carey Island in Klang, Selangor.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak said the Indian companies were interested in Carey Island due to its strategic geographical location.

“It’s a sheer coincidence that the Kabali film was shot on Carey Island, but off course, the Indian group is interested because of its strategic location,” he said at the Roundtable Meeting with Captains of Industry here today.
Najib told his audience that he had a chance to meet Kabali superstar Rajinikanth in Chennai during his visit there on Friday, and the selfie with him has since become viral both in Malaysia and India.
Malaysia’s MMC Port Holdings Sdn Bhd and Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Limited of India are expected to develop the Carey Island Port Project worth US$9.39 billion.
The development of an integrated maritime city to the proposed Carey Island Port will see a joint venture between MMC Port Holdings and Sime Darby Property Bhd with Adani.
The integrated maritime city is worth US$22.78 billion for a 30-year period.
Najib also told the captains of industry that there are many exciting developments taking place in Malaysia, citing the recent US$7 billion investment by Saudi Arabia’s Aramco and the Digital Free Trade Zone, the first in the world which was launched by him and Jack Ma of Alibaba last month.
On trade between the two countries, Najib said they hoped to achieve the US$15 billion target within three years, after the initial target in 2015 was not met due to global economic slowdown.
Najib also said the various economic transformation programmes taking place in Malaysia were bearing fruit, with the creation of 1.8 million jobs, reduction in poverty and doubling of gross national income.
The premier, who is also the Finance Minister, said Malaysia’s economy was able to cushion the global economic slowdown due to the transformation, adding that the reliance on oil and gas had dropped to 14% from 41% in 2010.

“With our highly diversified economy, strong manufacturing foundation, developed infrastructure and connectivity, proactive government policies and sound legal system, we believe that there is enormous potential for further cooperation between India and Malaysia, and that our country can be your gateway for Asean and beyond,” he added.
Najib urged the Indian businesses to take advantage of the wealth of opportunities offered by Malaysia, adding that the country had the highest percentage of Indian diaspora outside India.
“The market is open for your business and ideas. With joint efforts from both our countries, Malaysia-India economic trade and cooperation will be taken to new heights,” he said.

It’s no longer ‘easy money’ for Grabcar, Uber drivers

Uber , Grabcar are only a fade. All professions need full timers and not part timers. Taxis will come out stronger from this and UBER and Grabcar will die a natural death in 2 to 3 years’ time

It’s no longer ‘easy money’ for Grabcar, Uber drivers

As a ride-sharing driver, Mohamad Syahrin Abdul Aziz must deal with difficult passengers and long hours to make enough to support his family. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Kamal Ariffin, April 3, 2017.

·         WHEN the ride-sharing service providers Uber and Grabcar first surfaced in Malaysia, the idea of being able to earn a sizeable income without investing in new vehicles caught the imagination of many middle-income Malaysians.

·         Uber made its debut in Malaysia in January 2014 and is currently available in 12 cities, including Langkawi, Alor Star and Miri, which were recent additions.

·         Grabcar, previously known as Grabtaxi in June 2012, launched Grabcar soon after in July 2014 and boasts of 780,000 drivers operating in Southeast Asia.

·         Less than three years later, as the industry becomes more competitive, ride-sharing drivers are finding that it is getting harder to earn a decent income.

·         Mohamad Syahrin Abdul Aziz from Setiawangsa, Kuala Lumpur, has been a full-time Uber and Grabcar driver for the past two years and earns a monthly gross income, ranging from RM3,000 to RM6,000.

·         The father of three said with the increasing number of ride-sharing drivers, rising cost of fuel and the constant challenge of dealing with difficult passengers, he had to work longer hours throughout the week to make enough to support his family.

·         “I have three children to feed. My eldest is taking her SPM this year, the youngest is UPSR and the middle is in Form Two.

·         “Nowadays, with so many drivers, you need to work hard, because you have to fight with the other drivers to get trips.”

·         The rising cost of petrol and toll has had an impact on earnings, too.

·         Syahrin, who also works as a part-time photographer, said: “If, for example, I get a request from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca, it’s only RM250 or RM300 a trip. Imagine, your petrol is already around RM100 and toll is RM50, so how can you survive?

·         “With petrol prices changing weekly, I only worry, because what if the petrol price increases? These ride-sharing services won’t change their fare just to cater for higher petrol price.”

·         Syahrin also has his share of bad passengers, who refused to pay and ran off after a trip, leaving him to bear the entire cost of the ride.

·         “I was cheated once. The passengers gave me a RM100 note for change and when I said I didn’t have any, they exited the vehicle on the pretext of getting change and never come back,” he said, sighing.

·         Uber and Grabcar passengers can pay either by card or cash, while drivers are paid weekly via bank transfers.

·         For Zaiton Alwi, 56, her Uber income is sufficient to support her and her husband, a pianist.

·         “If you work hard, you can earn and enjoy a good income. Like for me, I drive from 11am to 6pm and on Fridays, when the male drivers go for prayers, I can earn more then,” she said.

·         Lee Kah Hao has to weigh the pros and cons of being a Uber driver. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Kamal Ariffin, April 3, 2017.

·         However, Zaiton admitted that driving has its risks and apart from occasionally being “cheated” by passengers, there are more reports of aggressive and angry taxi drivers lately.

·         “I’d been bullied by the taxi drivers before. Once, a taxi driver threw a tennis ball-like object at my car while I was picking up a passenger. My car wasn’t damaged but my passenger was startled. I just ignored them and carried on driving.”

·         While Zaiton is able to take the threats in her stride, other drivers find it a risk that they are not willing to take.

·         Newlywed Lee Kah Hao has only been working as a part-time Uber driver for a month and started out eager and confident that he would be able to make enough side income to start a family.

·         He registered when he decided that his work as a contractor for a telecommunications company, setting up towers and offering door-to-door electronic repair services, was not enough to support his family.

·         “I heard from my friend that an Uber driver can earn up to RM12,000 a month! I thought it was quite hilarious, actually,” Lee told The Malaysian Insight.

·         “Furthermore, Uber has flexible timing and I can choose when to work, I can go online any time.”

·         In his first month on the job, Lee made RM1,200 gross, almost half the RM2,600 he earned in his day job. The amount, he said, was more than enough to cover his household expenses, such as toll charges, dining out and so on.

·         However, while the extra money and flexible time are attractions, the 32-year-old soon abandoned the plan of being a full-time driver after weighing the dangers and risks.

·         “There are risks associated with this job (Uber driver). I’d just heard recently there was a protest by taxi drivers.

·         “The other day when I picked up someone from an LRT station, I felt afraid that I’d get beaten up by the taxi drivers waiting there.”

·         As part of its incentive scheme, Grabcar drivers are paid hourly if they fulfilled certain criteria like acceptance rate, hours online and number of trips within their core service areas. For Uber drivers, they need to go online and the app will automatically highlight the region with higher fares. – April 3, 2017.
