Passport Safety

This is an excellent tip : to always insert your email id in your passport on the  address page. For all the frequent flyers......do check this one out.

This is an incident that occurred at the airport yesterday.

A passenger with an American passport, changed money, and in the process
left his passport and boarding pass on my counter. As it was placed on the side, where my monitor blocks the view; it remained there for over 20
minutes; when the next customer brought it to my attention. I went outside, to search for him but to no avail.

The passport was well worn, with numerous visas, including Japan . He had travelled from Narita to LAX. The page in the ( U.S. ) passport where one can write home address and third party contact was blank.

All there was is his e mail address.

I went on line, and emailed him a brief message, including my phone number.

He turned up about a half hour later, profoundly grateful.
He was blissfully unaware that his passport was missing!
He was checking his e mail in the cab when he saw the mail I had sent. So he turned the cab around and came back to the airport to collect it. He works in Japan and his work permit was attached to the Japanese visa in the passport. He was in the US only for a week.

In retrospect it is evident that even if he had written his address in the passport, it would not have helped. Even a phone number is not much help,
as a finder may not be willing to call long distance, if  'found' in another country.

An e mail,......... any one would send, from any place; and you can access your e mail from anywhere in the world, when you are travelling!

Therefore PLEASE WRITE YOUR E MAIL ADDRESS IN YOUR PASSPORT; it can really 'save your bacon' some day!

RAFIZI AND INVOKE : Rafizi himself had injected RM787,049 into Invoke. Tabek Tuan.

Within hours of being thrown a challenge, PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli has revealed the financial statements for both his NGOs – Invoke and National Oversights and Whistleblowers (NOW).
The challenge came from Ampang PKR Youth leader Adam Rosly Abdullah, who demanded that Rafizi comes clean on the public funds collected for the two organisations
“Even though I am of the political opinion that I should not respond to the antics of Adam, who has been relieved of his positions in PKR and is being investigated by the disciplinary board for his case, I also believe that a public official like myself should be fast in responding to all issues related to transparency,” Rafizi said in a statement this afternoon.
In the attached financial statements, it is shown that Rafizi himself had injected RM787,049 into Invoke.

The Pandan lawmaker said this came from his own Lembaga Tabung Haji and Amanah Saham Bumiputera savings.

“I have to top up the injection every month from my salary as well as pay for several Invoke expenditures using my own credit card,” he added.

In his asset declaration last year, Rafizi revealed he had withdrawn RM530,000 in stages from his Tabung Haji account in 2016, and used most of that amount to set up Invoke.
Based on the financial statements released this afternoon, Invoke had earned RM857,369 through fundraising events and RM1,063,066 through donations since its inception till April 30, 2017.
Its total income for the same period of time was RM2,780,652.
Its total expenditure during that time came up to RM2,394,440, with the money being spent on things like the call centre equipment, field campaign spending, social media marketing, as well as on other utilities and so forth.

Their biggest expenditure, it is shown, was for the salaries of its employees, at RM888,487.
“I do not take any salary. Not a single cent of my personal spending is paid by Invoke,” Rafizi added.

Meanwhile, for NOW, Rafizi said there was no income for 2016 and 2017 as the NGO did not organise any fundraising events or collect online donations.
“NOW’s spending is minimal, only the rent for the office, which is an advance from me,” he said, adding that the NGO has no employees either.

Therefore, the included financial statement is for the year ending 2015. It has total assets of RM139,188 and liabilities of RM349,261.

In making the challenge earlier, Adam had claimed that numerous PKR leaders and activists have been patient with Rafizi for too long.

However, he said, the demand had to be made in order to safeguard public confidence in PKR and the opposition.

Adam, who is currently on leave from his party post pending his court case, had previously criticised Rafizi for urging PKR to distance itself from the businessman.

The 30-year-old politician was charged with providing false statements and documents on his wealth. He has denied the charges.

FINANCIAL CRASH WARNING: China’s debt could cause economic disaster ‘worse than 2008’

CHINA'S mounting debts are a huge cause for concern and could blow up into a financial crisis worse than 2008, experts have warned.

By LANA CLEMENTS

China's debt pile continues to soar

The colossal country has seen its GDP to debt ratio soar to eye-watering levels, from 148 per cent at the end of 2007 to around 277 per cent at the end of 2016. 

Fears over China's slowing economy triggered a huge stock market crash in 2015 and again at the start of last year. 

However, policymakers managed to ease fears with actions to prop up markets and the economy. 

At the end of last year, the Asian economy was growing by a bumper 6.8 per cent. 

But the expansion is being fuelled by spiralling debts. 

And its feared the economy could start to slowdown in the coming months, as actions by officials begins to fade.

China's slowing economy created market panic at the start of 2016

Sky-high debt combined with a slowing economy is a toxic mix, experts have warned. 

Sheridan Admans, investment research manager at The Share Centre, said: "China’s continues to pile on the debt at a worrying rate. 

"The only comfort at this time is that it is internal rather than external debt. 

"China has been working on ways to tackle this problem but such a sharp increase combined with the delays in coping with debt mountains, have previously been the cause of financial crises the world over."

Credit in China is now approaching a historic crisis level, according to Anthony Doyle, investment director in the M&G Fixed Interest team. 

He said: “The problem with heavily indebted economies is that the financial cycle could peak at any time. 

"At some point, borrowers like households and corporations will conclude that their income is not sufficient to service their debt obligations. 

"This will see the non-financial corporate sector enter into a deleveraging cycle: as has happened previously in Japan, Spain, and the US.

“As we are now nine years into the expansionary phase of the global economic growth cycle, and developed economies are still characterised by rock-bottom central bank rates, one has to wonder whether the next global recession will be much longer than the experience of 2008-09.”

The risks to China could be grow this year, thanks to Donald Trump, who has previously spoken out against trade policies 

It's feared the US president could slap trade tariffs on imports, which would heavily hit China's economy. 

Another risk is the US raising interest rates, which could speed up the amount of money flowing out of China. 

Mr Admans added: “A key risk to the Chinese economy in 2017 is the US FED raising interest rates as this will likely lead to an increase in the pace of outflows from China. 

"Furthermore, the region’s exports could come under pressure if the new US president Donald Trump initiates protectionist measures. Indeed, the devaluation of the Chinese currency against the dollar, and China burning through reserves to support it, could contribute to a rise in interbank rates."

Capital Economics has also issued a warning over China. 

In a note to investors it said: "We expect China's growth to peak early in 2017. 

"Thereafter, the key question will not be whether China faces an imminent hard landing but whether the leadership embraces the structural reforms needed to prevent trend growth from continuing to grind lower."

At the moment, however, investors are not too panicked by the risks. 

But it's feared this could change at short notice. 

Matthew Dobbs, fund manager for Asian Equities at Schroders, said: "Longer-term, the issue of rising debt to GDP and burgeoning non-performing assets in the system will have to be addressed, along with a recognition that the growth potential of China is materially lower than the six to seven per cent cited by Beijing. 

"Clearly there are risks as to the timing of that realisation, and a potentially hostile geo-political and trade environment does not help, although US exports are less than five per cent of China’s GDP. "

These Charts Show That China May Be Headed For A Financial Crisis

This is a warning sign of a potential crisis.

BEIJING ― There have been mounting concerns among China watchers about a debt bubble growing and possibly bursting. As China has the second largest economy in the world, a Chinese financial crisis would significantly affect a globalized world economy. Beijing argues the problem is manageable but new data shows a dangerous increase in the number of new loans issued in China: 16 percent more in the fourth quarter of 2016 than the third quarter and 26 percent more in the fourth quarter of 2015 than that of 2016.

In 2016, credit expanded to 16 percent more than in 2015, and total debt grew nearly 2.4 times China’s GDP. Taken together, this is a warning sign of a potential crisis.

AKSHAY SHAH

This continues a trend of an unprecedented increase in the level of debt in the Chinese economy over the past five years. Debt in the non-financial sector has increased by 74.4 percent over the past five years, compared to only 8.6 percent over the eight years before the financial crisis, from 2000 to 2008.

AKSHAY SHAH

This increase has been driven in part by the Chinese government’s efforts to meet the annual growth target of 6.5 to 7 percent that was the centerpiece of the Communist Party’s five-year plan for the years 2015 to 2020. This target could be too high, as China transitions from an export-oriented economy to a consumer-driven one. With the normal economy unable to deliver, the government has promoted credit growth to prop up short-term growth rates. Similar fast credit growth has played a key role in past financial crises, such as the recent U.S. financial crisis and Japan’s “lost decade.”

China’s banking sector is experiencing a very high level of what are called non-performing loans. China has a large number of loans that have been overdue for more than 90 days. Official statistics estimate this figure to be around 2 percent of all loans outstanding. But third-party estimates from Fitch and Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia are higher ― between 15 to 20 percent of all loans outstanding ― which would put China in the company of countries such as Italy, which is currently bailing out its banks. A high number of NPLs is caused by the Chinese economy’s poor underlying performance, as well as by poor credit decisions, like extending credit at too fast a pace.

AKSHAY SHAH

Could it be possible that the third-party estimates of China’s high number of NPLs are significantly off the mark? This seems unlikely. The higher estimates seem to be reflected in the stock market prices of the largest Chinese banks, which are trading at a discount of between 15 to 25 percent from their book value, compared to their long-term average of trading at around a 20 percent premium.

The price-to-book value is a commonly used metric to see how bullish or bearish the market is about the valuation of banks. A bank that correctly reported its NPLs would have to take a write-down to its book value to reflect the lower likelihood of repayment of these loans.

The market is essentially performing the same function by applying a discount to their book value. Therefore, the market seems to recognize a significantly higher degree of NPLs than what the Chinese banks are currently reporting. In comparison, U.S. financial stocks are trading at around a 30 percent premium to their book value. 

AKSHAY SHAH

At the same time, however, China enjoys some unique features that make it less prone to a banking crisis, including a closed capital account, a high saving rate and firm control on the real estate market. A closed capital account makes it difficult for Chinese citizens to take their money out of China and therefore necessitates them keeping their money in Chinese banks. A high savings rate enables China to sustain a higher steady state level of debt, which is also seen in countries like Japan. And by successfully controlling factors such as the supply of new land, mortgages policies and housing purchase criteria, a possible bubble in property prices, spotted as early as 2005, has not yet burst.

Most importantly, the Chinese government backstops the entire banking sector. Therefore, most Chinese citizens assume that the only risk they face is sovereign risk. Furthermore, the Chinese government appears to have the fiscal space to bail out its banking sector: the total debt of the Chinese government is comparatively low, around 45 percent of GDP, compared to U.S. government debt that is at 103 percent of GDP. 

AKSHAY SHAH

But even with these safeguards, China’s banking sector faces increasing risks; a crisis could be triggered by unfavorable or unforeseen events. For example, significant capital flight from China, due to an increase in interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve, could spark a liquidity crisis. Or a significant drop in real estate prices could increase non-performing loans to an unsustainable level. Lastly, further slowdown in the Chinese economy ― say around 4 percent ― could also further increase non-performing loans that are typically a function of business cycles.

How costly could this be to the Chinese government? Let us assume that the banking sector recognizes the 15 to 20 percent of non-performing loans explicitly and forces a government bailout. The average recovery rate that the Chinese government was able to obtain on these loans in its previous banking crisis was between 30 and 40 percent. Assume that we were to get a similar rate today, and multiply that by China’s current debt level of around 250 percent. We see that the cost could be between 23 and 35 percent of GDP ― in other words, between $2.5 and $4 trillion.

This is in line with estimates of what it cost the Chinese government in the 1999 bailout, which was between 22 and 28 percent of GDP. The bailout would cause credit supply to temporarily freeze, which would negatively impact the real economy and further increase NPLs. Therefore, the potential costs of this are, in fact, much higher.

The government’s current strategy seems to be to double down on credit growth in order to improve GDP growth and thereby hopefully grow out of its large amount of non-performing loans. But this is a bet and a risky one at that.

Cheers! Beer campaigners say price of a pint could be slashed by more than 20p if Government unshackles pubs from costly EU tax rules after Brexit

EXCLUSIVE: Campaign for Real Ale has released manifesto for the election
Calls on prospective MPs to take advantage of opportunities of leaving EU
Includes changes to beer duty currently not allowed under European rules 

  
Brexit could see the price of a pint falling by more than 20p if Britain seizes the opportunity to lift costly EU regulations on pubs, campaigners say.

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) wants duty on draught beers sold in pubs rather than supermarkets to be cut and a smaller bill for lower-strength pints.

These measures would currently need the approval of the European Commission, which has not updated its directive on excise duty since 1992. 

CAMRA’s General Election manifesto, revealed exclusively by MailOnline, also calls on prospective MPs to reduce VAT on licensed premises and cut business rates.

The group thinks politicians should encourage people to drink in well-managed pubs rather than buying beer from supermarkets to have at home or on the street.

It points to recent research by Oxford University which found people who visit pubs have more friends, are happier and feel more engaged with their communities.

CAMRA chairman Colin Valentine said: ‘Pubs are a uniquely British institution that showcase our nation’s brewing tradition and provide an essential community facility for those that use them.


Campaign for real ale turns attention to saving pubs after...

Living near a pub really DOES make you happy! People who...

I'll drink to that! Boom in the number of UK breweries as...

‘It is therefore crucial that beer drinkers and pub-goers are not left behind when it comes to negotiating Britain’s future over the coming years.’

Wetherspoons chairman Tim Martin backed the campaign, telling MailOnline: ‘CAMRA is right to try and use this opportunity to create political support for pubs.

‘Pubs and supermarkets should be taxed equally – supermarkets don’t need tax breaks.’

The EU Excise Duty Directive prevents the government from giving pubs a preferential rate of beer duty compared to supermarkets.

Draught beers below 2.8% alcohol receive a 50% duty discount, but CAMRA wants this raised to 3.5% to take into account the strength of pints at an average pub.

This change alone would cut the price of a 3.5% pint by 19p.

CAMRA's proposed cuts to overall beer duty and VAT are not included in this calculation, so if these were included the saving would be more.

VAT is currently 20% and is paid by pubs on sales at the till. EU directives mean member states are not allowed to drop their rates of VAT below 15%. 

CAMRA, which has more than 187,000 members, has not stated the exact amount they would like general beer duty and VAT to be reduced to.

Business rates, which the EU does not influence, also penalise pubs compared to supermarkets, campaigners believe.

Chancellor Philip Hammond responded to criticism by including a £1,000 rates discount for pubs with a rateable value of less than £100,000 in his budget.

CAMRA wants MPs to consider further changes to business rates to make sure pub going remains an ‘affordable activity’. 

At present, pubs pay 2.8% of the total amount paid in rates, despite accounting for only 0.5% of total business turnover.

Mr Valentine added: ‘Current business rates discounts for pubs in England should be made permanent and increased to £5,000.

Mr Martin agreed, saying: ‘Pubs pay about 18p per pint as business rates and supermarkets only 2p. 

'Pubs also pay 20% VAT on food sales, whereas supermarkets pay nothing.'

He has previously noted that his chain is 'not eligible' for Mr Hammond's rates discount and told MailOnline he faces paying £8,000 more per pub each year.  

The CAMRA manifesto also calls on the current exemption from duty for cider makers who produce under 7,000 litres a year to be kept. 

In addition, the group warns politicians to mitigate against the risks of Brexit for the pub trade as well as seize the opportunities it creates.

'You're dead to me':

 White Arkansas father calls his teen daughter a 'f***in wh***' for taking her 'subhuman' black friend to prom in vitriolic racist rant that has shocked America

Anna Hayes, a high school senior from Lake Village, Arkansas attended prom last week with a male friend, Phillip Freeman - who happens to be black. When her father - whom she does not live with - saw the photos, he was livid, and sent her a long tirade of racist, sexist text messages telling Anna that he was disowning her and calling both her and her date heartbreakingly offensive names. 'We are done,' he texted her. 'I won't be coming to your graduation. Nor will I pay for your college. Go live with the n*****s. Don't ever contact me again we are through. Go ahead be a F***IN wh*** leave me out of it. Your pictures are already off my walls. You can go to hell. What the f*** is wrong with you? ... You want to mingle with Subhumans I'll treat you accordingly. [sic]'

Iskandar no longer Selangor PAS chief

Abdul Hadi Awang with party leaders during the PAS muktamar in Kota Sarang Semut, Kedah on May 1. Iskandar Samad and Mustafa Ali havebeen dropped from the party exco. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Nazir Sufari, May 6, 2017.

TWO senior PAS leaders have been dropped in a reshuffle of the party's working committee today.

Selangor housing exco Iskandar Samad and long-time elections director Mustafa Ali, who are said to favour working with other opposition parties, were axed. Iskandar was retained as the vice-president during the party polls last weekend.

Iskandar was replaced by Salehin Mukhyi as the new Selangor chief while Mustafa will be replaced by party president Abdul Hadi Awang’s former political secretary Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.

Temerloh MP Nasrudin Hassan was retained as the information chief while Razman Zakaria will replace Mohd Nor Mohamad as treasurer.


The announcement was made by general secretary Takiyuddin Hassan after PAS’ central committee meeting today.

Asked why Iskandar was dropped, Takiyuddin said the vice-president’s position is more senior than a state chief.

“Salehin will be able to focus on Selangor better as he’s not an exco,” said Takiyuddin, who is also Kota Baru MP.

Mustafa was seen as one of few PAS senior leaders constantly in touch with Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin and Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali.

PAS also moved ulama Husin Awang to lead Terengganu instead of Satiful Bahri Mamat. – May 6, 2017.

Turgay is Gulen sympathiser but no terrorist, says wife

Ayse Gul Karaman (left) and Hatice Ozcelik, 42, wife of Ismey Ozcelik speak at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Nazir Sufari, May 6, 2017.

THE wife of a Turkish businessman today knocked back Putrajaya's assertion that he has links to the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, and defended his support for ideas promoted by Turkish dissident Fetullah Gulen.

Ayse Gul Karaman, 38, said her husband Turgay Karaman subscribed to "the ideas of Gulen, which are love and patience, everything a human being should have, so what is wrong with that?

"He is not a member of the Gulen movement, nor is he a supporter or member of the Islamic State," Ayse told reporters at Publika Shopping Gallery in Kuala Lumpur today.

Turkish newspapers reported that Turgay, Ihsan Aslan and Ismet Ozcelik were ‎abducted by unknown individuals, and noted that Malaysia had extradited sympathisers of Gulen to Turkey.


Turkey's leader Reccip Erdogan has accused the US-based Gulen of organising the July 15 coup.

Following those newspaper reports, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said all three were in police custody while Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that Tugay and Ihsan were arrested for alleged links to IS.

The first hint of trouble had come on May 3, when Ayse's husband returned home to get his passport. He was accompanied by policemen.

Ayse said she and her husband's lawyer had been denied the opportunity to meet her husband in detention.

"After maghrib, the inspector-general of police called me, (told me) not to worry about my husband as he was in good condition.

"He was very polite. He said the police were just investigating whether he had committed any crime, but he didn't mention what crime."

Ayse said the IGP told her that the police would only let her see her husband after giving her "notice".

"I asked him, when can I see my husband? He said after one week, I said that was too long and I couldn’t trust him.

"I then asked him whether my lawyers could see him. He said within 48 hours, but until now, my lawyers still haven't met him.

Ayse also confirmed that her husband met Prime Minister Najib Razak as reported by the Guardian.

"It is true that my husband has met the prime minister before, but I don't remember the day," she said.

She added that she believes the Malaysian government would do her justice and release her husband soon.

"I don't think they will deport my husband to Turkey; I believe they won't do this; 15 years we have been living here." – May 6, 2017.

My comments : Saya nak tanya sedikit soalan kepada Kaum DNA Bahalol yang berkuasa dalam negara kita ini. 

Berapa banyak kah faedah, kebaikan atau apa pun yang berguna yang negara kita dapat meraih hasil daripada kehadiran puak-puak yang bermusuh ini dalam negara kita?

Turki ke, Zakir Naik ke, puak Moro ke, pemisah Thai ke, Arab ke - apakah faedah yang mereka membawa kepada negara kita?

Kalau nak kata kita membantu 'sesaudara islam' pun tidak betul kerana yang bergaduh dengan mereka pun  'sesaudara islam' juga.

Rupanya mereka semua bermusuh kerana politik dan kebencian perkauman. Tidak ada kena-mengena dengan Islam pun.    

Negara kita sekarang seolah menjadi  'stesen bas'  bagi berbagai dan bermacam jenis suku, puak dan kabilah Islam yang bergaduh, bermusuh dan berbunuh di serata dunia.  

Anehnya mereka semua ini tidak minat berlari atau berhijrah ke negara Islam lain seperti Arab Saudi, Pakistan dan Afghanistan. Ataupun Turki.   

Mereka  berkerumun  di  Malaysia  juga.  Serupa lalat  tahi menutupi tahi lembu.  

Dan sekarang kehadiran mereka hanya 

i.    menimbulkan kontroversi sesama kita sendiri
ii.   menarik perhatian musuh-musuh mereka dari luar negara dan  
iii.  membazirkan tenaga dan masa pihak Polis (dan juga wang kita)  

untuk menangani kes-kes mereka melalui surveillance, siasatan, penangkapan, dakwa di mahkamah, tahan dalam penjara dan sebagainya. Semua ini membazirkan wang rakyat kita (taxpayers funds).

Semuanya perbuatan bodoh yang membazir.  Seolah Polis Malaysia tidak mempunyai tugas lain, contohnya menjaga keselamatan warga negara Malaysia.  

Saya hairan kenapa kaum pemerintah kita sebegini bahalol dan bodoh?

The Best Statement By Tan Sri IGP So Far. Terima Kasih.

First here is the video from The Star:

If the video does not pop up, here is the direct link : http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2017/05/04/igp-khalid-two-turkish-men-threat-to-malaysia/ 

Here is the news :
IGP: Detained Turkish men 'threat to Malaysia'

two Turkish men arrested Tues threat to national security, said IGP

Khalid say they posed a threat to the country.

"I just want to say this, we Malaysians are a peace loving people.

"We do not welcome foreigners who cause problems for our country.

"We also do not welcome them to come here and bring their problems to our country," Khalid told reporters on Thursday.

Turgay Karaman and Ihsan Aslan arrested on Tues for links to (IS) terror group.

Zahid Hamidi said anti-terrorism unit monitoring communications by the two 
had reason to arrest them under Sosma) 

My comments :  This was the news on Friday.  This is the news about a total of THREE Turkish fellows who have been arrested for ISIS links and/or, maybe  links to the Turkish dissident  Gulen.

So lets look again at what the IGP said :  
"I just want to say this, we Malaysians are a peace loving people.
"We do not welcome foreigners who cause problems for our country.
"We also do not welcome them to come here and bring their problems to our country," Khalid told reporters on Thursday.

Well said Tan Sri IGP.  Very well said.  

Then why do we allow trouble causers like Zakir Naik into the country?

Since his arrival here it has been nothing but trouble and controversy.  

Zakir Naik is from India. In India they have their own problems between Hindus and Muslims. And Zakir Naik is no stranger to fanning hatreds between Hindus and Muslims in India.

Hindus and Muslims in Malaysia have no problems.  In Malaysia there are no problems between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, Sikhs and any other religion. We all live in peace.

But since Zakir Naik's arrival here he has been making unnecessary statements about Hinduism and also about Malaysian Hindu leaders like Waythamoorthy - the Chairman of the Hindraf.

This is a carryover from Zakir Naik's problems with Hindus in India. As the IGP has said so clearly:

"We also do not welcome them (foreigners) to come here and bring their problems to our country," Khalid told reporters

Exactly the point.  Zakir Naik only knows how to fight with Hindus, Christians and others in India.  They have their reasons and their arguments. But that is an Indian problem.  It is NOT A MALAYSIAN problem.

Just because Hindus and Muslim fight in India, it does not mean that Hindus and Muslims will fight in Malaysia.  So as the IGP has said,  we do not need Zakir Naik   "to come here and bring their problems to our country" 

This is where I must say the Malay people who run the country  are really kurang peka.  This is a polite way of saying they are stupid.

We bring in all sorts of people into the country without checking how their presence here will affect the social eco-system.

We bring in Rohingyas Muslims and Buddhist Myanmars. In Myanmar both these groups are killing each other. There was a killing spree among Rohingyas and Myanmars somewhere in the north. At last the Police arrested some Rohingyas gang leader who was behind all these murders.  

So when we import these people, we inevitably also import their problems.

I am not saying that we should NOT import foreigners into the country. 

The Indonesians (Muslim or Christian), Filipinos (Christian) the Bangladeshis (Muslim), the Indians (Hindus and Muslim) and the Nepalis (Hindu) are doing wonders for our economy. 

They come here and work at their jobs with passion and dedication. We have little or no problems from the Indons, Filipinos, Banglas, Nepalis and Indians.

But not the case with the Rohingyas and Myanmars.  

Then due to their own historical problems  the Myanmars also have a problem with Indians - who used to monopolise the economy in Myanmar.  There is plenty of racial hatred towards Indians in Myanmar.

So we have had cases at the Pasar Borong in Selayang where Myanmars were fighting and killing our local Indians. 

As the IGP says, the Myanmars and Rohingyas    "come here and bring their problems to our country".

Our people in the gomen are stupid. They do not seem to understand all these simple things.  

Now the Police have arrested the three Turkish guys.  One of them has been a school headmaster here for 14 years !! So how did that happen?   
And they have brought their rubbish into our country - whether it is ISIS, pro Gulen or whatever. 
These are problems that are theirs and theirs only. 
These problems are alien to our country and to our society.  
Why do we allow all these problematic people into our country?


Just because they are Muslims? 
What type of a stupid answer is that?   

Just because someone is Muslim DOES NOT MEAN that they are not trouble causers.

Here I must repeat what I said earlier from the Quran. I really hope all the Malay Muslims read this carefully.


Surah 28 : 15-19


28:015   Once he (Moses) entered the city unexpectedly, without being recognized by the people. He found two men fighting; one was from his people, and the other was from his enemies. The one from his people called on him for help against his enemy. Moses punched him, killing him. He said, "This is the work of the devil; he is a real enemy, and a profound misleader."


28:016  He said, "My Lord, I have wronged my soul. Please forgive me," and He forgave him. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful.


28:017   He said, "My Lord, in return for Your blessings upon me, I will never be a supporter of the guilty ones."


28:018  In the morning, he was in the city, afraid and watchful. The one who sought his help yesterday, asked for his help again. Moses said to him, "You are really a trouble maker."

28:019  Before he attempted to strike their common enemy, he said, "O Moses, do you want to kill me, as you killed the other man yesterday? Obviously, you wish to be a tyrant on earth; you do not wish to be righteous."

This is the story where Moses was actually tricked by a man from his own clan or tribe into WRONGLY killing another human from their enemy.  

The first day Moses intervened to help his tribesman and killed the other fellow.  Then the next morning Moses went about the place and saw his same tribesman fighting again.  Again his tribesman asked Moses for help to fight the other fellow.  

Only then did Moses realise that his own tribesman was the real culprit. 

Moses said to him, "You are really a trouble maker."

So it does not automatically mean that just because someone is from your own kampong, from your own state, your own tribe, your own race, your own family, your own religion etc that automatically they are the best people in the world.  That automatically they are always in the right.

If you believe like this, you have been really brainswashed by satan. 
Wa antum hizbi syaitan. 
You are from the party of syaitan.

Some of you may think this is racial prejudice, religious prejudice, tribal prejudice, language prejudice etc.

I just call it stupid. 
You must be  gila babi type of stupid. 
Because thats what it is : stupid.
So please stop importing all these trouble causers into our country just because they are "Muslims".  

This is Malaysia.  For  hundreds of years this country has been a cultural mix of Malays, Chinese, Indians, Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Taoists etc. 

The oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia was built in 1645 in Melaka - 372 years ago.

The oldest Church in Malaysia was built in 1710, also in Melaka -  307 years ago.




The oldest still functioning Hindu Temple in Malaysia was built in 1781 - which is 236 years ago.  It is also in Melaka. It is a Chitty Temple.

'The Sri Poyatha Moorthi Temple is the oldest Hindu temple in Malaysia and one of the oldest functioning Hindu temples in Maritime Southeast Asia. Located in Malacca, the temple is one of the few existing Chitty temples in Malaysia. Wikipedia
Year built: 1781'

The Melaka Chitty's are Indian Hindus whose mother tongue is now  Malay. Although Indian the Melaka Chitty's cannot speak any Indian language (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi etc).

Now for all you ignorant Muslims out there, here is another verse from the Quran:

Surah 6:108


which is translated as :

1.  And insult not those whom they worship besides Allah, lest they insult Allah wrongfully without knowledge. Thus We have made fairseeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do.  (by translator  Hilali-Khan)


2. Abuse not those to whom they pray, apart from God, or they will abuse God in revenge without knowledge. So We have decked out fair to every nation their deeds; then to their Lord they shall return, and He will tell them what they have been doing. (by translator AJ Arberry).

3. Do not curse the idols they set up beside GOD, lest they blaspheme and curse GOD, out of ignorance. We have adorned the works of every group in their eyes. Ultimately, they return to their Lord, then He informs them of everything they had done.  (by translator Khalifa).

The meaning is very clear. Do not be an idiot and go around insulting, abusing, cursing or making fun of other peoples gods, deities, temples, rituals etc.

If you do that, then they will also return the insult to you.

Its called "Tit for tat,  you kill my dog I kill your cat."

Takkan bodoh sangat DNA bahalol sampai tak boleh faham benda-benda simple macam ini pun?

This is what the Quran says in Surah 6:108.

If you dont believe in the Quran then you cannot be a Muslim.
Just go and stand in the kafir line. 

You reject the Quran, you become kafir. 

But long, long before that, kalau awak semua jahil Quran, garenti hidup awak semua akan jadi susah. Susah merana,  gusar, gelap gulita, bodoh dan papa kedana. 

You want proof for what I am saying? 


Err  .  .  .have you heard of the  err .  ..   ..  "Islamic countries" ?

HEARTBREAKING: 5-Year-Old Desperately Dials 911 To Find His Mom Who’s In Heaven

If nothing on the internet moved you today then you are in the right place now because the short film below has all the emotions neatly wrapped up in a perfect gift.

The short film features a little boy and a police officer. In it, the little boy called the police officer with a report that his mom is missing. After becoming a little suspicious and thinking that it was all just a prank it came to the realization of the officer that the boy’s mother was really missing. But not missing, in the usual sense of the word. She was missing from the boy’s life because she died.



While talking, the little boy went on to tell the officer that his mom was sick and after some time of being sick, she just disappeared from his life, no longer wearing those beautiful headscarves he used to see her in. 

For a kid, only now learning about life something like that must be very perplexing.



And the officer, knowing this, decided to help the boy. He suggested something to the boy that absolutely changed the little boy’s perspective on his missing mom. The boy instantly went from extremely sad, to elated to try what the officer told him.


Here’s the touching video:

JOHOR: Chinese Man Honks Continuously During The Friday Prayers Causes Ruckus In Broad Daylight!!!

Malaysian netizens are now divided into 3 after the case of a Chinese man honking continuously during the Friday prayers in front of Surau Austin Perdana, Johor, that took place yesterday.

It was reported to the police by an eyewitness, Khairul Azlan, of the incident that a Chinese man driving a white coloured Toyota Camry with 1 male and 1 female passenger, continuously honked in front of the surau to drive his car out of the location as the roads were blocked by the worshippers who parked their cars along the roadside.

Khairul then claimed that as soon as he was done with his prayers, he quickly came outside to calm the man down and asked him to please respect the people who are still performing their prayers inside the facility, in which the impatient man replied him with the middle finger gesture.

He also claims that despite there were worshipers who were trying to move their parked vehicles away, the rude man still behaved very impatiently and kept pressing on the accelerator which caused him to collide with the car in front him.

Probably due to the collision, the man seemed to have panicked and reversed without checking his rear and almost knocked a Malay man who is believed to be in his 50s.

This has caused much ruckus and made the whole incident erupt into a massive ‘mob’ attack.

From the 3 videos that were shared on Facebook, it clearly shows that the man in the white Camry was driving pretty reckless as he kept going back and forth despite being surrounded by many people. When the angry worshippers started to react violently, they somehow managed to pull the man out of the car and started beating him with a traffic cone.

Right after this happens, the female passenger gets off the car and tries to stop the raging men from beating up her acquaintance however it seemed that she was quickly ‘shoved’ back into the car by the men.

Later, on it seems that the male driver, Toh Chai Eun, had also filed a report claiming that his car was blocked by a Perodua Viva hence why he honked. Even when the Malay car owner went into his car, he did not move his vehicle. This caused Toh to honk once more and before he knew it, suddenly his car was surrounded by the angry worshippers.


It seems that Toh sustained head and back injuries due to this unfortunate event.

Now, Malaysian netizens are ‘fighting’ against each other claiming that either party is in the wrong and it seems that a racial fire has started.

Many are angry at the fact that Toh had no patience and wasn’t being respectful towards the Jumu’ah, while others are angry at the worshippers for turning so violent right after prayers. Then, there are some (I would say rational ones) who aren’t taking sides and stating that both were in the wrong and all of this could have been solved in a proper manner.

With that being said, you know where I stand in this situation, what about you? Honestly, this shouldn’t have happened because, in Islam, there’s a proverb saying, “Patience is half of faith”. And clearly, no one was being patient that afternoon despite just finishing their prayers.

Always be the better person, as my parents had taught me.

Asri urges Muslims to respect others’ right over roads



Perlis mufti says vehicles should be parked in an orderly manner outside mosques to allow other commuters to use the roads unhindered.



PETALING JAYA: Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin has called on Muslims to respect the rights of others who use certain roads in the vicinity of mosques and surau.

He said this was important as everybody had the right to move around freely in public spaces in accordance with the law.

“We should be aware that giving way on a road is among the teachings of Islam,” he said today.
“The roads are not just for us to use, as others also have a right to use them by following proper rules,” he added in a posting on his Facebook page under Dr MAZA today.
He said they included Muslims and non-Muslims alike, who needed to reach a destination urgently due to an emergency.

“I urge Muslims in Perlis to allow right of way, especially during prayer time,” he said, adding that this should also apply during Friday prayers and special celebratory days.
“It should be the same during sermons where many people are gathered, including my sermon at Masjid Alwi in Kangar,” he said.

Asri said vehicles should be parked in an orderly manner to allow other road users to move about unhindered.

“Being blocked along a road can sometimes be very distressing for some,” he said, giving as examples those who were ill and rushing to seek medical treatment or those hoping to catch a flight.

He also clarified that his message was not connected in any way to what occurred in Johor yesterday.

In the incident at 1.30pm during Friday prayers, two passengers in a car were confronted by a group of worshippers outside a surau in Austin Perdana, who assaulted one of them while others in the group vandalised the vehicle.

Johor CID chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Kamarulzaman Mamat said the assault and vandalising of the vehicle was caused by a misunderstanding due to congestion and obstruction of traffic around the vicinity of the surau which made it difficult for the car driver to pass through.

A video of the incident, that has gone viral, showed a man in a white Toyota Camry honking continuously because his vehicle was blocked by other cars parked outside the mosque.
A group of people soon confronted the driver, while striking at and kicking his vehicle as another was seen hitting him repeatedly with a red traffic cone as others called for calm.
Four men were later arrested and are being investigated for rioting under Section 147 of the Penal Code.
