Hi-tech and Low Tech toilets

Hi tech and low tech toilets and also some humans are also used as toilets by other human beings who consider the former a less breed of intelligence. This you can find in the Political world with the doers (The shitters) and the foot soldiers (toilets). Here in Malaysia can see these wonderful combinations every day in public life and now a tourist attraction.

Five brothers arrested over Sameera’s murder

Read more on the murder of a innocent soul here

They are remanded for seven days over the killing of transgender Sameera who was shot and slashed to death in Kuantan in February

KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuantan magistrate’s court today ordered five brothers to be remanded for seven days in connection with the murder of a 26-year-old transgender in Kuantan recently

The five siblings – aged between 19 and 30 – were picked up by police on Thursday afternoon.

The Star Online reported that they were arrested at their home in Taman Eng Ann in Klang and taken to the Kuantan district police headquarters to assist investigations.

All five brothers have criminal records.

According to a police source, more are expected to be detained in connection with Sameera Krishnan’s murder in Kuantan on Feb 23.

Sameera, who worked for a florist, was shot and slashed in the early hours of the morning.

She was the main witness in her own kidnapping case that took place two years ago at the Sungai Rasau toll in Klang.

In that incident, Sameera was abducted, tortured and was rescued when another motorist noticed her tied-up in the back seat of her abductors’ car.

Two men were arrested and charged under Section 3(1) of the Kidnapping Act, which carries the mandatory death sentence.

Where is the cheapest country to visit?

Where is the cheapest country to visit?

Jason Behrmann, Extensive traveller that's experienced both 5 star hotels and living in a slum

I describe here one of my best and most affordable trips; I want to emphasize that this trip was the best in terms of value for money.

My prices are estimates—based on my sometimes fallible memory—in Canadian Dollars.

These are actual photos from my trip.

Ditch the stereotypes, Mexico is amazing.

Mexico City: Same as a world-class European city, but at 80% off

Mexico City is one of the world’s mega-cities, with a metropolitan population of 30 million. Beholden to a history that dates back several centuries, this immense capital is the country’s epicentre of culture and business.

These attributes provide all the offerings of a prominent European city at a fraction of the cost, primarily due to the low value of the Mexican Peso.

All noteworthy attractions are accessible by an extensive public transit system; it costs pennies to ride the metro great distances throughout the city. Transportation costs are negligible.

An ancient empire with an endearing culture

Like Rome, Mexico City was the centre of an ancient empire: the Aztecs. The Spanish colonizers destroyed most of the Aztec ruins within the downtown core, but a two hour bus ride away ($7), you can visit a UNESCO World Heritage site of a Teotihuan city with several pyramids, many of which are mind blowing in hight and size; you are free to climb on whatever you want.

Mexico invests heavily in arts and culture, so the city’s many museums are top-notch. My two favourites, the Museum of Anthropology and the Museum of Modern Art, had entry fees of a couple of bucks. Many epic, and extensive, murals by the renowned nationalist painter, Diego, are in public buildings where you can view his most famous works for free.

Everywhere you go you can hear live music on the streets—seriously, it’s everywhere; walking along the bustling sidewalks, you will pass several people singing while playing instruments, as well as the occasional dance event in a public square. Of course, there is no charge for revelling in these public displays of an endearing culture.

A unique shopping experience

Markets and boutiques abound.
The extensive marketplaces, full of artisanal and hand-made goods, are a signature of the city. You’ll be hard-pressed to find any item over $15 here, whether it be shoes, or clothes, or giant bouquets of flowers. The central food distribution centre for the city, Central de Abasto, has literally mountains of produce piled to the ceiling in transport/warehouse facilities. Here you can buy any kind of produce for pennies.

Mountains of watermelons on display at Central de Abasto.

You will find the occasional designer clothing boutique in trendy neighbourhoods. While not cheap, I estimate that these designer items were sold at half the price I would pay in Europe or Japan. Everything was high quality.

(There is a high-end shopping district in Polanco; you’ll find no deals here because the prices are the same as those at any North American city).

Incredible Food, delicious wine, and a booming nightlife

Mexico is an agricultural powerhouse, producing incredible amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables. Cheap, quality food abounds; a sizeable lunch, with a beer, at a regular restaurant will set you back a few dollars. The country also produces great wine. Common wines are equivalent in quality to the average Californian wine, but at a third of the price.

I would randomly choose restaurants in the historic colonial neighbourhood and request their best tequila, best glass of red wine, and a full gourmet dinner with desert. The tab was never over $30. It was common to have live music performances accompany my meal.

Bars are lively and crowded; clubs are expansive, far cleaner that any club in my home town of Montreal, and offer quality service. A couple of bucks will get you a nice drink, five dollars will get you fancy one.

Overall, I was so impressed with the value for money I obtained from this trip that I plan on going back to Mexico City in the near future.

Jais Will Not Accept Marriage Certificates From Outside Of Malaysia As Prove Of Marriage!!

Yeeh only marriage certificates issued in Heaven is valid as Malaysia is Heaven and when dies straight go to hell and friend below is waiting for you all. Must be a certified devil worshiper from Malaysia and with Malaysian issued certificate only the pious allowed into hell. No outsiders please

Jais Will Not Accept Marriage Certificates From Outside Of Malaysia As Prove Of Marriage!!

Malaysian Islamic Religious Department (Jais) is labeled as the most strict in most Muslim countries. Last month a married couple was arrested for khalwat (close proximity) by the religious authorities despite them having a marriage certificate

“Most of the time arrests are made if the husband is unable to provide sufficient evidence that the woman he is seen with is his wife,” said Hairul Nizan Mhd Idris, who works under the preaching department for Jais’ Hulu Langat division at a forum on Islamic family law.
Most of the time, husbands are unable to provide evidence because the couple got married in Thailand or in Indonesia. Malaysia will only accept marriage documents recognized in our country, so providing documents that the marriage took place outside the country is not enough.
However, Hairul pointed out that a raid would only take place if there was a complaint. “If there is no complaint, then we don’t come. If there is a complaint, then as religious authorities we have to act,” said Hairul.


For instance, when the religious authorities receive a complaint from a hotel, they would then go to the hotel and if they see the person’s car parked outside, they know the couple is inside the hotel room without a doubt. They will then knock on the door and say ‘Assalamualaikum’ (standard Muslim greeting) three times.
He said “only if there is no answer, although we know the people are inside, we will get the keys from the reception and go in the room. If the husband answers and says ‘I am with my wife and I don’t allow you to enter’ then, naturally, we will ask for proof that the woman is indeed his wife.”

“If he can provide proof, then that’s that. If he can’t, that’s when we take action,” he adds.
Most religious authorities do their job properly, but when they do something wrong, it is quickly spread without further verification because the majority of people loves to read the negative news.

MARKETS IN TURMOIL, FLIGHT TO SAFE HAVEN AS U.S. FIRES MISSILES AT SYRIAN AIR BASE

SYDNEY ― Bonds, the yen and gold jumped in Asia today, while stocks slipped, as investors turned to safe-haven assets after the United States launched cruise missiles against an air base in Syria, raising the risk of confrontation with Syrian backers Russia and Iran.
The US dollar dropped as much as 0.6 per cent, while gold and oil prices rallied hard, though the early market panic calmed when a US official called the attack a “one-off,” with no plans for escalation.


US President Donald Trump ordered the strikes yesterday against a Syrian air base controlled by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces in retaliation for a chemical attack that killed at least 70 people on Tuesday in a rebel-held area that was launched from the base.
MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.4 per cent after earlier sliding as much as 0.85 per cent to a 2-1/2-week low. The index is set to end the week down about 0.2 per cent.
E-mini S&P 500 futures lost 0.3 per cent, having earlier tumbled as much as 0.7 per cent, in unusually sharp moves for Asian hours.
But Japan’s Nikkei reversed course again to be up 0.5 per cent, heading for a 1.1 per cent drop for the week.
“It was a knee-jerk reaction because markets are starting to come back a little, as it doesn’t seem like there will be further retaliation coming,” said Christoffer Moltke-Leth, head of institutional client trading at Saxo Capital Markets in Singapore.
“On the other hand, this could be a positive for Trump, showing that he stands firm on his word. When a strike happens, it leads to a little bit of a spike in the president’s popularity.”
Facing his biggest foreign policy crisis since taking office in January, Trump took the toughest direct US action yet in Syria’s six-year-old civil war.
Investors had already been on edge as Trump met Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Florida for talks over flashpoints such as North Korea and China’s huge trade surplus with the United States.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson noted the attack was “proportionate,” suggesting no follow-up was planned.
“The unexpected and unequivocal nature of the US response to the sarin-centric carnage in Syria, by President Trump, was very much in keeping with his promise not to telegraph his military options to the world in advance of taking action,” wrote Peter Kenney, senior strategist at Global Markets Advisory Group in New York.
“This comes at a time that President Trump is likely to be addressing the North Korea problem with his Chinese counterpart. Peace through strength is clearly the message.”

Highs for oil and gold

The yen, a favoured haven in times of stress due to Japan’s position as the world’s largest creditor nation, climbed across the board. The dollar moderated losses, last trading at ¥110.62 (RM4.44), after touching a near-two-week low of 110.14 earlier.
The dollar was otherwise steady against a basket of currencies at 100.65, as it benefited from flows into safe-haven US Treasuries.
The euro was trading at US$1.0648, near its close yesterday following comments by the European Central Bank head Mario Draghi that he sees no need to deviate from the ECB’s stated policy path at least until the end of the year.
Yields on 10-year Treasury debt fell as much as five basis points to 2.289 per cent, its lowest level since November, briefly breaking a significant chart barrier at 2.30 per cent for the first time this year. It was last at 2.3122 per cent.
Oil also rose on concerns the military intervention could affect supplies from the Middle East.
“What will be the response of Iran and Russia, two of the world’s largest oil producers and staunch allies of the Assad regime? … We will have to wait for these answers as the day moves on,” said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at futures brokerage OANDA in Singapore.
US crude added 1.7 per cent to US$52.59 a barrel, after earlier touching its highest in a month, putting it on track for a 3.9 per cent gain this week.
Global benchmark Brent climbed 1.5 per cent to US$55.71, set to end the week up 5.5 per cent.
Spot gold prices added 0.9 per cent to US$1,262.46 an ounce after hitting their highest point since November 10.
“Clearly this raises the stakes, and we expect to see gold prices continuing to push higher in the short term, at least until there is some clarity around whether this is a one-off or develops into something more,” ANZ analyst Daniel Hynes said.

Why the Navy’s Tomahawk missiles were the weapon of choice in strikes in Syria

The U.S. Navy launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles early Friday in Syria at a military airfield in response to a chemical-weapons attack this week on civilians, U.S. military officials said, relying on a mainstay weapon when the Pentagon wants to attack from a safe distance.

The missiles were launched about 4:40 a.m. local time from the USS Ross and USS Porter, Navy destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, defense officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the operation. The strikes targeted al-Shayrat air base in Homs province, from which the Syrian military allegedly launched chemical weapons attacks against civilians Tuesday.

The Tomahawk has been a critical part of U.S. warfare since the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and commonly carries a 1,000-pound warhead. It was last used by the Pentagon in October, when the military launched Tomahawks from the Red Sea at three coastal radar sites in Yemen after Houthi rebels there fired missiles at several U.S. ships over several days.

Before that, the United States used them in September 2014 as the country expanded its air war against militants from Iraq into Syria. The Pentagon said at the time that it launched 47 Tomahawks from two ships — the USS Philippine Sea in the Persian Gulf and the USS Arleigh Burke in the Red Sea — and hit sites used by what it called the Khorasan Group, an Islamist cell said to be linked to al-Qaeda.

The strikes, announced Thursday night in Washington, were launched from the USS Ross and the USS Port, two destroyers in the Mediterranean Sea, a defense official said on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the operation. Russian forces also use the base, but U.S. military officials said they “deconflicted” with them ahead of time to minimize the possibility of them being caught in the strikes.

One of the largest advantages to using the Tomahawk is that it does not require a pilot to be anywhere near a potential target. They can be launched from Navy destroyers up to 1,000 miles away, a tactical consideration when facing enemy air defenses. Assad’s military operates modest S-200 surface-to-air missile systems but is backed by Russian forces, which have more advanced S-300 and S-400 missiles. Those systems have better radar and fly faster than older surface-to-air missiles.

Chris Harmer, a defense analyst and former naval officer now with the Institute for the Study of War, said that the U.S. military can jam some of the Russian radar through the use of the EA-18G Growler jet and other means. But the Russians likely can withstand some of that jamming, especially the most advanced S-400 systems.

“We have the advantage, but it doesn’t mean it renders the Russian air defense irrelevant,” Harmer said.

Tomahawks have less explosive yield than larger bombs carried by manned U.S. aircraft, but to bomb Syrian planes on the ground, that does not matter, Harmer said. Planes, he said, are the “softest of soft targets” and do not require the largest U.S. munitions to destroy or incapacitate them.

There also is a specific variant of the Tomahawk that can carry cluster munitions that separate over a target, causing fragmentation and incendiary damage that could destroy vehicles, supply depots and aircraft on a flight line. The missiles would not cause as much damage to a runway as a larger Air Force bomb launched from a bomber or fighter.

The decision may have been driven in part by political concerns. The closest airfield the United States uses in the region is Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, but an operation against the Syrian government would likely require Turkish consent. The United States also has strike aircraft in other countries in the Middle East, but their use also could raise diplomatic issues.

If the Trump administration decided to use manned aircraft, the most likely option was naval aircraft. That could have included Harrier jets deployed with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, which were on Navy ships in the Mediterranean Sea as of Wednesday, according to photos released by the military.

The aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush also is in the Middle East but farther away in the Persian Gulf. Part of the fleet of ships accompanying the carrier are closer by, in the Mediterranean, and can carry Tomahawks
