Is KL a safe city to visit..What foreigners think!

Perception ??
  It  is damaging ..especially when tourist are considering a visit to KL  
  and come across web sites who have rated KL according to feedback .
   Incredibly , we are one notch above Johanessburg at no. 7 ,
   a city notorious for unchecked crime and shootings,kidnappings,
   a virtual  crime paradise .

We as Malaysians may or may not agree with this "perception" of our
   lovely city but , does it make a difference.? 

Especially what has been going on in the crime scene in the city  lately.?
   Made to feel unsafe and constantly looking over our shoulder, as we
  stroll around town. 
 Hoping no one is going to  snatch or mug us.

 It has happened to not only locals but foreign tourist as well..

Check out this listing of the top 10 dangerous cities of the world from a website..
and at no..

                        6. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Malaysia also takes pride in its spectacular landscapes,
 a culture that begs to be discovered and explored and…
 a history of violence that made way too many victims.

 Presently, the state’s capital is said to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world, 
as the crime rate increased with 70% in the last three years. 
It wasn’t a peace on Earth display before either, 
but now things seem to keep getting worse.

From the Star...

TOURISM officials have expressed concerns that the media is playing up stories
about snatch thefts and this could hurt the tourism industry.

Some officials fear that the local reports would be picked up by the foreign press
 and foreigners would be deterred from visiting Malaysia.
 Tourism officials feel snatch theft is not a serious problem.

( who are they kidding! just a cursory search online and we can find 
dozens of accounts involving tourist, 

These are occurrences that have been reported and  publicized,
 what about the unreported that probably happens daily  )

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2004/6/19/nation/8252050&sec=nation

All these (and more) serious crime cases happened within the last eight weeks. 
And  not even taking into account the crime cases since January or even last year. 
Usually we would only read about these cases in the newspaper or watch them
 being covered on television.

 Not only us living in the country are alarmed but those who aren't even Malaysians
 have the same sentiments about the dire state of affairs with crime rates in the nation..

Launch crackdown to curb snatch thefts

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 2012 - 17:22

I HAVE been living here for less than three months and have already been a snatch theft victim.
 Five other women I know have also been victims within the same time span. 
The latest case occurred, last Friday evening.

These cowardly scum prey on expatriates or women tourists because they are seen as soft targets.
 Always on motorbikes, working alone or in pairs, they prey on defenceless women, snatching handbags or jewellery.

There should be a much higher police presence in the city centre and popular tourist areas in the evenings as these are the areas that these villainous vermin target.

The reputation of Malaysia as a tourist destination will suffer as details of these crimes are publicised abroad.

A crackdown on snatch thieves is required urgently.

A start would be to ban motorbikes from city centre tourist areas after sunset — 
at least this would deprive these rats of their means of escape.

There should also be police patrols through these areas on a constant basis in the evenings.

If this crime is allowed to continue without a crackdown, sooner or later there will be a serious injury or death — reported in the international media. Now that would not do Malaysia's reputation any good at all, would it?

Megalomaniacs..

The megalomaniatic cleptocrat's have zero empathy for their own peoples .
We need to go back to our original cultures and rescue our values  and stop absolutely this manipulative attempts to control minds and our wellbeing . Those responsible for these are  people that are so sick because of the power they wield , it makes me sick, and I know because I know I am   being screwed over by them ! 
But  methinks ....

a Government over-facilitating the people in exchange for votes and voters using the "this is a democracy" card in exchange for disobeying the law and getting away with it.
 On the verge of bankrupting the nation running up  humongous  debts because of non-democratic means of governing acting in authoritarian ways -completely disregarding the people's will and the country's interests in order to facilitate themselves and calling the whole system a democracy.

   A dysfunctional democracy- SHAMOCRACY-  practiced in Malaysia.
 No matter where in the world you go, whatever the continent the place, the poor always seem to suffer at the hands of the rich. Whether through religion, politics, class, always pitting  people  against each other and the ones who really benefit are-"  the super rich and powerful".......when will this ever stop, i wonder?

Be aware of what is unfolding before our eyes and perversely disguised by politicians and media. There must be an  insurrection! This nightmare needs to be be stopped! The people must unite against the elitist tyranny who wants to easily take possession of what was earned for through the  efforts and sacrifice by the people!

  Ethics, integrity are just words, means nothing to politicians! Wake up and do what you can,
or it will be A bit like finding out you have STD, and then start wearing condoms. 
Too little too late. 

WTF does a "Guided Democracy" really mean? Just another veiled attempt at imposing dictatorial rule.

If that is how UMNO is to be run, then at the same token, it is what to expect as well from BN. 

A "Guided democracy" for the nation since they are running the show also.

‘Guided democracy’ is the Umno way, no leadership contest necessary – Ku Nan

JUNE 18, 2013

Umno secretary-general  Datuk Seri Tengku  Adnan Mansor stressed that the top two posts in Umno – president and deputy president – need not be contested in the upcoming party elections as the party follows the principle of a “guided democracy”. He said this after some party leaders and groups insisted on a leadership contest, despite the supreme council’s recent decision that there will be no contest for the top two posts.

"What we want to follow is the ‘guided democracy’. As such, there won’t be any contest for the post of president and deputy president. After all, we just had our general elections,” Tengku Adnan told reporters at his office in the Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur building today. – June 18, 2013.

Does Ku Nan realise the implications of what he is suggesting?

Now UMNO seems to be borrowing old school methods from Sukarno, are they so out of ideas.? Retrieving and recycling  useless junk  from a known dictator.

Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Democracy allows eligible citizens to participate equally—either directly or through elected representatives—in the proposal, development, and creation of laws. It encompasses social, economic and cultural conditions that enable the free and equal practice of political self-determination.

How do you guide  a democracy? By forcibly telling (mental bullying)  the citizens what to think, who to select...That will be a Shamocracy!

- Guided democracy, also called managed democracy, is a term for a democratic government with increased autocracy. Governments are legitimated by elections that are free and fair but emptied of substantive meaning in their ability to change the State's policies, motives, and goals.

In other words, elections are controlled so that the people can exercise all their rights without significantly effecting any  changes in leadership or policies. While basic democratic principles may be applied,  there can be major deviations towards authoritarianism. 

 Under a Guided or managed democracy, the electorate is prevented from having a significant impact on policies adopted by the State's continuous use of propaganda techniques.

The term was first imposed for  Indonesia, but it is now also widely employed in Hungary ,and in Russia,and to an extent in Singapore, introduced into common practice by the Kremlin theorists, and  even the United States of America according to Princeton professor Sheldon Wolin and his theories regarding inverted totalitarianism. 

 Guided democracy was  the brainchild of President Sukarno of Indonesia ,putting in place a political system from 1957 until the New Order began in 1966. Sukarno felt that the Western-style democracy not suited for Indonesia's situation. Ironically inspired by Communism after visiting Mao.
Sukarno proposed a threefold blend of nasionalisme ('nationalism'), agama ('religion'), and komunisme ('communism') into a co-operative 'Nas-A-Kom' government, designed to appease the three main factions in Indonesian politics — the army, Islamic groups, and the communists. He proclaimed in February 1957, 'Guided Democracy', and proposed a cabinet representing all political parties of importance including the Communist Party of Indonesia.-

In other words, a guided democracy is just another veiled attempt at imposing  dictatorial  rule!!

Listen to this Muslim man !!

You must listen to this Muslim

People from every religions, and how many can learn from this guy !.

The gathering was to celebrate the work of a guy called Izzeldin Abuelaish, a doctor from the Middle East who has written a book. 

He was born to a Muslim family who had lived for generations in a farming place in Palestine.

But the family was dispossessed, their land taken over by a man called Ariel Sharon.

The family was sent to a refugee camp.

But they didn’t fight. They knew that someone had to break the cycle of hate, so they focused on the positive, working hard to get their children to school.

***

One of the kids, Izzeldin, worked really hard at school, and got himself all the way to university to become a doctor.

He was so talented in his field that he was offered a job in a hospital in Israel.

Despite this, he was tormented continuously by guards every time he had to cross the border from Gaza to Israel.

He decided to again break the cycle of hate, patiently enduring the humiliations, focusing on the opportunity to buy “luxuries” such as food and clothing to take back to Gaza for his children.

***

One day a tank rumbled down his street and fired missiles straight into his home.

They hit the girls’ bedroom.

Four young people died.

Izzeldin rushed into the room to find pieces of his children all over the room. One child in the room survived, but her eye was dangling on her cheek.

He called for help.

But ambulances were not allowed to approach, so he had to pick up the survivors and carry them across town.

***

“Now do you hate the Israelis?” his friends asked.

“No,” he replied. “Someone has to break the cycle of hate.”Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of his 

book...

This powerful firsthand account of grief, loss, and forgiveness is set against one of the longest running conflicts of modern times: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The author weaves his own coming-of-age against the history of two peoples in conflict. The message is, surprisingly, one of peace and calling individuals to consider the good in one another in place of broad, mostly negative stereotypes.

Countdown to Black505 protest Rally.Will the fire be rekindled or just embers!

The Choice has reported before on the manner in which it seems as if PKR's intemperate rhetoric about electoral fraud and its seemingly endless rallies have unleashed a tiger in the form of NGOs and grassroots who took them seriously. We noted at the time that PAS and the DAP have long experience in managing their grassroots, and so have been able to accept the election results and move forward with the task of governance.

PKR, however, is and for as long as he lives will be the party of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, and so lacks the institutional competence to understand how far matters may be pressed. Matters were clearly becoming shambolic when various Pakatan Rakyat-aligned NGOs began calling on the Opposition to boycott Parliament. As noted at the time, this demand was perfectly reasonable if you believed Pakatan's ridiculous notion that the election was stolen – if the elections were stolen, Parliament is illegitimate, and it is morally and legally wrong to pretend otherwise.

This forced PKR into a complicated series of promises and climb-downs that ultimately ended with PKR's political officers voting unanimously to be sworn into Parliament, a move that likely confused those of their supporters who thought Keadilan serious about allegations of fraud rather than simply working up outrage to compel Anwar into Putrajaya.

This near-miss has not caused Pakatan's leadership to contemplate whether it might be wiser to tamp down the rhetoric; or if it has, they fear the consequences of such a move too much to stop. Thus, yet another Black 505 rally is planned for Saturday, ostensibly for Padang Merbok and in apparent violation of the Peaceful Assembly Act.

Yet six weeks after GE13, some of Pakatan Rakyat's most fervent supporters at online portals and outside have begun to ask whether there is some point to all of these rallies and assemblies, with hard work yet to be done. Perhaps most pressing is the redelineation exercise set for later in the year – a simple majority can set new boundaries for various seats, but experts agree that only a two-thirds majority can create new seats, as doing so will require constitutional changes.

Pakatan Rakyat does not command a two-thirds majority. Only by working with Barisan Nasional and showing seriousness of purpose will Pakatan have any say in new seats – and yet doing these things will be a slap in the face to those supporters whom they have convinced that working with BN is not many steps removed from treason.

Yet failing to work on new seats will leave BN to simply set new boundaries on its own and forego the addition of any new seats – something that will undercut Pakatan's message that only BN gerrymandering allowed the coalition to win GE13.

Yet the rally set for Saturday shows no signs of disappearing, and so Pakatan must now somehow lower the fires it has set – or be burned, one way or another.

Maybe Anwar should adopt this approach and do away with the Black 505 rallies.Jive the Hindustani/Tamil blues

Can you really blame them for feeling marginalized? All she ever wanted was to seek a better life for herself and her family.And she is more than qualified...BUT..!!

A very inauspicious "Runtuh" culture seems to be going on lately! Very worrying trend!

Let see now ..There was the collapsing crane during construction near Brickfields on the  monorail project- then the JPJ collapsing roof  at Wangsa Maju - cracks in the Kepong flyover (relieved that they have made rectification works to reinforce it) - CyberJaya bridge-Trengganu Gong Badak stadium (video below)
 More recently the Penang Bridge extension collapse(still reeling from that) and to make it worst the horrific collapse of the lightning arrestor structure  of the Penang UMNO building claiming lives.
 All these are high profile incidents covered by media..I have a sneaky suspicion that there are others as well which have been kept from public knowledge.  Question is, how many?
   How much more jinxed can BN get?

Aduh hai ,  Jambatan runtuh, stadium runtuh, highway runtuh, Steel berat bangunan umno  tumbang.. menyebab kematian,bumbung hospital runtuh -- Sueih betul.!!

    As  If -SOMEONE on TOP is NOT PLEASED!!


On a more serious and very worrying note. Will there be more collapsing structures to come? 
Can we feel safe driving the highways and by ways and crossing bridges?
 Should Malaysians be worried that they may  end up in a river or sea  driving across a bridge, or crashing into the traffic below  or God forbid-the flyover toppling onto our cars  crushing or flattening us like insects- as we drive on the elevated highways or flyovers or have tons of structure, toppling on top of them while cruising the streets or merely out for a stroll?

 Need i worry that the train might jump the tracks everytime i am riding on the LRT or KTM?
Will we be safe watching a football match at a stadium and not have to be concerned that the roof may come crashing down or the seats not able to hold the weight and collapsing the platform and end up hurting , maiming or horrors - killing innocents just out for a good time? 

 Now it has got me worried about going to PUDURAYA to catch a bus somewhere, may have to keep an eye on the roof.

 Are public amenities safe to use ? How childproof or even adult proof are they?
 I may be exaggerating a little or some may say paranoid yet  but it is food for thought!

Can we trust all the billion dollar structural projects by the goverment since completed and used by the public? 

Or will there be more fatalities because of the incorrigible practice of cutting corners purely motivated by the greed dimension, wilfully disregarding public safety and long term durability ,sacrificing quality control of the constructed projects, just for the sake of higher profits.

And now a collapsing roof at a hospital,of all places . Oh dear , what is this country coming to.!
          VIVA - La Compinches (cronies) capitalismo!

See what ails goverment projects.

A living nation

A Living Nation

By Allan CF Goh

A nation cannot live
With its people truncated,
Like the dried fallen leaf,
Crushed and emasculated.

A people cannot thrive,
Under any tyranny,
Be it of racist strife,
Or undeserved agony.

A state cannot progress
If she rejects the truly best,
And goes on to transgress
Her people’s talented quest.

A country will degrade,
When swamped full of corruption.
It cannot maintain grade,
Based on discrimination.

When the country’s future
Rests on men of arrogance,
With talents not nurtured,
We face only ignorance.

There is only one choice:
To nurture virtues valiant,
Listen to progress’s voice,
And sideline all the villains

Police brutality in Malaysia. Where does it start from ?

This is an observation, and not any condemnation in showing the videos. But cannot help to think what prompts our law enforcers to behave so brutishly during the Bersih  crackdowns.

And when we reflect that displayed behaviour onto all the  deaths in custody and police brutality cases. The videos offer a small insight on the way they react to stressful confrontational situations and how they may behave and how much courtesy they will be allowing when it comes to ordinary police work involving criminal suspects.

In situations shown in the videos ,they are behaving like  mob mentality. They seem to have a greenlight to go on a violent rampage  because they feel the power to do so. Bashing whatever comes their way, just because they can. Professionalism and discipline in carrying SOP completely out the window. Aren't they suppose to be trained better in the academy?

  Almost every video i viewed of the Bersih crackdowns seem to suggest a pattern of behaviour or misbehaviour of our boys in blue that does not vary very much when it comes to arresting protesters. To be fair, there are the responsible ones who displayed exemplary self control and professionalism in carrying out arrest , observing SOP as they should be doing. There were even some of these officers stopping their colleagues from the senseless brutality and shielding the victims.

 But even  a few incidents of the brutal behaviour is alarming enough to be very concerned about.It shows the mentality and lack of discipline among our PDRM crews.

  Viewing the videos ,it can be seen that  the person/persons being arrested has already been subdued, still you can witness the cops continuing their physical brutality on the person. Ganging up to cause pain, exhibiting a sadistic streak of pleasure being derived from the violence inflicted on another human. Ostensibly to teach the victims of their physical assault  a lesson but not realizing it is not their place to do so. Their job is to arrest and neutralize of which they clearly have done so..

The display of a complete lack in self restraint and professionalism is disturbing.  Power over another human being is very dangerous if abused.

Where does this type of  behaviour come from , because it shocks decent law abiding citizens.

These rank and file cops really need guidance and to be instilled in them ,more discipline in self restraint.  Something that basic training in the academy should inculcate in them is to respect people's rights  and above all the law that they  represent.
 Enforce the law  by all means and if it is deemed that the crowd is getting too disorderly , their  job is to  neutralize the situation by making arrests - that is understandable - but  not behave like gangsters beating up defenceless individuals, even after they have been subdued. They cannot just react to their basest of instinct for violence. That instinct needs to be trained out of them that they can do their jobs more effectively and earn the trust and respect of those they are pledged to serve and protect.

They still fear authority but lack  proper guidance and  training.
See how in the video below they dispersed when Tian Chua stepped in to stop the brutality.

  The police are not ordinary citizens.  They cannot behave like an unruly mob. Profesionalism is expected from them. So where does the training to have that mindset in professional and disciplined police work start from ?
 I would say during the police academy training and continue on after they have joined the force.




The videos above and  below shows very clearly , gang mentality, the arrested person was not resisting and still he was ganged up upon. You wonder what is in the minds of the police during this situation. Were they angry and lashing out at the most convenient scapegoat they could get their hands on. Surrendering to basest of instint to cause harm or caving in to the pressure of the situation.? What happened to cool heads under pressure that law enforcement are supposed to indoctrinate into their adherents ?

 But again , they are supposed to be disciplined pros. Above and in control at all times of the weaknesses of basic human emotions to just react in violent reprisal -  so that they can perform their duties efficiently. It is expected of them as guardians of the peace.


 But watching the video below , you cannot help but feel that , if minus  the uniforms , they are typically behaving exactly the same as expected from any unruly mob attacking a perceived enemy.
What do they teach and  indoctrinate in them during basic training?
Also more worrying , is this the existing culture that is still prevalent and acceptable within the force and is taken for granted that it is how things are done?
Notice also that those commiting the brutality are mostly youths, probably fresh out on the beat,their ages not far from the Mat Rempits, except they are on the other side. There are some videos of the plainclothes detctives as well, likely of the same ilk as those who do interrogation on suspects in custody. And they were even more aggresive  as if ingrained in their mindsets to be like that.
     People in any organisation  are shaped by the environment they work in and determines how they will approach their duties, if it is any reflection, these type of reaction mirrors very much on the institutional culture and mindsets in the PDRM.
 A thorough overhaul of culture and mindsets starting from the grassroots and basic training all the way to the existing top ranks is sorely needed to transform the force into a sleek,disciplined  and efficient organization trusted and appreciated by the people.

 It is not the methods of policing on trial in the court of public opinion but the attitudes of those in the whole institution!

Protest continues in Turkey despite concessions by goverment! Defiance vowed till demands are met.

• 
  T he protest has gone on for 2 weeks and still defiance is shown in spite of concessionary attempts by the goverment
   . When passions are aroused , it will take a lot of effort to put out the flames raging in the hearts of ordinary citizens. And all they want is to be heard and acknowledged in the beginning.
   Is there going to be a parallel situation in our nation? Lets hope not.!
  
  
  
  
   Protesters sit on the steps of Gezi Park of Taksim Square in Istanbul, Saturday, June 15, 2013. Protesters will press on with their sit-in at an Istanbul park.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Protesters will press on with their sit-in at anIstanbul park, an activist said Saturday, defying government appeals and a warning from Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoganfor the two-week standoff that has fanned nationwide demonstrations to end.

The announcement from Taksim Solidarity, an umbrella group of protest movements in Gezi Park, is likely to return the spotlight on Erdogan's government — and how it will respond. He already has offered to defer to a court ruling on the legality of the government's contested park redevelopment plan, and floated the possibility of a referendum on it.

But concessions over the park seem to no longer be enough. A violent police crackdown on what began as an environmental protest over a redevelopment plan sparked a much broader expression of discontent about Erdogan's government and what many said was his increasingly authoritarian manner of governing.

Erdogan, who was elected with 50 percent of the vote for his third term in 2011, vehemently rejects the accusations. But the protests put some of the greatest political pressure on him in his 10-year tenure.

Earlier this week, Erdogan ordered the adjacent Taksim Square to be cleared of protesters who had also been staging a sit-in there. Police moved past improvised barricades on Tuesday, firing tear gasand rubber bullets and using water cannons to fend off small groups of demonstrators throwing stones, bottles and firebombs. Tear gas was also fired through the trees into the park, although the protesters were not removed.

Taksim Square itself returned to normal right after the end of the police operation early Wednesday. Traffic returned, the protest banners and flags were taken down, and cafes set up their chairs and tables outside again. At night, demonstrators still spill out from the park down the steps, while riot police keep watch from the edges.

Tayfun Kahraman — a Taksim Solidarity member who met with Erdogan in last-ditch talks that lasted until the pre-dawn hours Friday — said the protesters had agreed to continue their sit-in at Gezi Park after holding a series of discussions about their response to the pledges made by Erdogan.

"We shall remain in the park until all of our democratic rights are recognized," he told The Associated Press, insisting that four key demands laid out by protesters in the talks had not been met.

The group has demanded that apart from the park being left intact, anyone responsible for excessive police force must resign or be fired, all activists detained in the protests should be released, and the police use of tear gas and other non-lethal weapons be banned.

"As of today, with the dynamism and strength that comes from the struggle that has spread to the whole country, and even the world, we shall continue the resistance against all kinds of injustice and victimization in our country," Taksim Solidarity said in a statement posted on its website and later read out in the park. The group didn't say explicitly that it would remain in the park.

As the statement was read out, many among the gathered crowd clapped and began shouting, "This is just the beginning — the struggle continues!"

Although the most prominent group to emerge from the protests, Taksim Solidarity doesn't speak for everyone occupying Gezi. With many protesters saying they have no affiliation to any group or political party, many could make individual decisions on whether to stay or leave.

But there were few signs of anyone intending to pack up Saturday afternoon, and the daily activity in what has become a tent city continued with little indication of change. Deliveries of bottles of water and food arrived, people lined up for servings of lunch, while others cleared garbage and swept the paths clean after the morning rain.

According to the government's redevelopment plan for Taksim Square, the park would be replaced with a replica Ottoman-era barracks. Under initial plans, the construction would have housed a shopping mall, though that has since been amended to the possibility of an opera house, a theater and a museum with cafes.

Protesters angered by the project began occupying the park last month, but the police crackdown on May 31 saw the demonstrations spread to dozens of cities across the country. In recent days they have concentrated on Istanbul and the capital, Ankara.

The anger has been fanned because riot police have at times used tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets to disperse mostly peaceful protesters. Five people, including a police officer, have died and thousands of people have been injured — denting Erdogan's international reputation.

The announcement from Taksim Solidarity came as Erdogan's supporters were gearing up for their own pro-government rallies on Saturday and Sunday in Ankara and Istanbul.

On Thursday, Erdogan issued a "final" warning that the protesters must leave the park.

Earlier Saturday, President Abdullah Gul wrote on Twitter that "everyone should now return home," insisting that "the channels for discussion and dialogue" have opened — an apparent reference to the talks between Erdogan and a small group of delegates from the protest.

Overnight, police firing water cannon and tear gas dispersed protesters who erected street barricades near Turkey's parliament in the capital, Ankara. It was in the latest face-off between authorities and demonstrators over the park redevelopment plan and the police handling of the earliest days of the protests.

Death is not the Tragedy,

It is not Death, The tragedy. But the Life that goes before it.

by E. Paul Newell

All humans have just one thing in common, that is the ultimated and pre-arranged end to the unusual struggles of life. Death.

No one gets out in any other fashion, and no one (in spite of what any reader may think, or believe) dies in any special way. 

In a sea of energy, the human, swims the upstream battle of life against the natural elements put before them. These elements are harsh indeed, however over the last thousands of years humans have managed and maintained presents, faced with these basic elements of nature.

 Overcoming and overwhelming in some cases. In order to live in the elements in a comfortable fashion the human must make compromises, and adaptions.
 Still all in all it is a struggle and a “fight to the bitter end”.
 In the end, (being death), it’s as common and natural as birth.
 As you enter the light from darkness, so shall you return to that darkness, of “ever lasting peace” and “tranquil glory”, for the energy itself can neither be “created nor destroyed”.

Let’s examine the “struggle” . Dr.’s, and other experts say that being born is the most traumatic event any human will ever endure. The ”trauma” they say, is the fact that your big, goofy looking baby head (average 12 inch circumference) while exiting the birthing canal must be pressure fitted through an opening that is just nine centimeters in diameter.
Yes you do the math. In order for it to fit the skull plates must overlap each other and be pressurized in order to make that transition.
 Also the fact of being encased in a protective and warm womb for nine months, only to be ejected outwards into a very cold and sterile world, where everything and everybody wants a piece of you.
 Good Luck.

Today however it is not just the elements that we face it is also the new wave of intentional violence perpetrated on the unknowing and manipulated by other humans.
These new elements induced upon the common human are paid for and concocted up by “the common humans” dime, nickel, what have you.
 But are implemented by just a few freaks, who are leading the freak show.

What can be made of this intentional violence? Human on Human. Only that it is wanton behaviour.
Only that it is needless.

Only that in no way does it serve as any great or advancing cause, noble or creative endeavor.
Only that the nature of this behaviour is the cause of added struggle and hardship heaped upon the most basics of the human population.

The only apparent end to this type of crime is purely entertainment.
As seen in every shape and form through the media re-port. As well as vid/games, where players can kill, maim, and rape at will, in their virtual world.

Humans have a keen curiosity into the morbid aspects of life.

Therefore the supply and demand order ( death, destruction, gore) of the epoch is prevailing.
The talking heads are spinning vertigo to the viewer’s delight.
 The viewer’s heads are spinning so fast that up has become down and down is now up. Sideways is now backwards.
Forward thinking has been rendered redundant. Not necessary. And, not welcomed in the world of intentional violence.

By the way, god is not coming, nor is Jesus not aliens or spirits from the ethers, there will be no outside help to save the pathetic human race.

Tesla was here once with his gifts for all, but humans destroyed him. For malice, greed, and control. He won’t be back.

Did you ever wonder why there were “prophets” way back in the day, but none since and none now, ever wonder why there where saints way back in the day to try and save souls, but none now .
 Is this strange? Or just arranged too?

Ever wonder, where are all the great inventions and advancements that the mind can come up with. Since the last major advancements everything has been suppressed for the sake of malice greed and control.

In the end each person will die, but how they live will determine how they die.

There is a “heaven” and there is a “hell”, however they exist only in your mind’s eye. And you experience these two aspects of life, during your life on earth, not after.

In ”heaven” the brain functions on an even keel , with common, cognitive thinking, therefore smooth transitioning and movement forward through time.

In “hell” the brain is like frying scrambled eggs, or a dog’s breakfast, always in a state of chaos, confusion, dark clouded thoughts, that only give way to morbid, grave and humiliating actions.

In the end religions have, absolutely nothing to do with your place in “heaven” or” hell”. Only you can determine your path of movement. However “religions” do have everything to do with the human death and destruction, chaos, madness, torture, greed, malice, hunger, strife, famine, over population, fear mongering, air, food, water contamination. They and their doctrine have created the living “hell” for so many for far too long.

End the tragic life now by ending man and earths most destructive unnatural element, “RELIGIONS”.

As a matter of pure fact, (read a book… any book) so blatant and obvious to anyone looking, it is all the religions that are responsible over time, for all the negative aspects of the tragedies of a human life. (other than natural elements)
even the so called “natural elements” are now under the guise of neo natural events, controlled to a degree by the “few freaks” running the “freak show”.

Think about it folks.

In the Land of the not so free but definitely the brave!

Not even the US is spared from racial morons who cannot seem to discard their prejudices.Using social media to pummel a talented Mex-American talented kid. Obviously patriotic and passionate of his nationality and proud of his ethnic roots.
  But it is heartening to note that they are the exception and not the norm.
  Why can't we just embrace diversity and chuck out irrational race based prejudices. After all we all bleed red when we get cut.

But i just loved his response when he was asked about it!

What the innocent minds perceive .!

It is so humourous how toddlers perceive their world and what they see. Especially with the quips they make that has that " where did that come from moment". Quips that make you just have a guffaw for the sheer innocence and seriousness of the remark made by the innocent observer's mind

Jack (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister.
After a while he asked: 'Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?'

Brittany (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle.  Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her.
Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'

Susan (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. 'Please don't give me this juice again,' she said, 'It makes my teeth cough.'

DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: 'How much do I cost?'

Clinton (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried When his Mom asked what was troubling him.
He replied, 'I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married.  How will my wife fit in it?'

Marc (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering in her mouth?'

Steven (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. 'I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window.'

Melanie (age 5)  asked her Granny how old she was.. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more.
Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties.  Mine say five to  six.'

Tammy(age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew.
Tammy  looked at her for a while and then asked, 'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'

James (age 4)was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: 'The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.'  Concerned, James asked: 'What happened to the flea?'

Sunday sermon: 'Dear Lord,'  the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

Thought provoking ! Don't you think?Malaysian tax RM at work!

Your Tax ringgit at work , spent by BN






Meantime to ensure they can continue to go on their unchecked  spending spree....





But totally ignore what is decent and dire that needs to be addresed  urgently.....

Banglas are not our Enemies!

Trust Namewee to bring to  light the situation of a misunderstood people , perhaps defuse some animosity of Malaysians towards them  and be cynical at our Goverment at  the same time.
   And it doesn't lose to make a movie out of it either.  Humour may make us more receptive to the reality and not be overly engrossed in our communal and political passions.

  I'd rather laugh or be amused at my own and societal's  shortcomings than to be outraged and start lashing out at the most convenient scapegoat. I ll be in a better balanced state of mind to start effecting a change within my self  and also be more acceptive of those around me, regardless of creed sharing this land we call home. It is Hopeful that  same sentiments can be floated around.  

The Banglas are not our enemies , they are mostly decent hardworking migrants to our country in search of better lives just like many of our own Malaysian forefathers .Lets reach out to them and get them on our good sides.

They were just exploited by the unscrupulous and  who seriously have a crisis in morality .

12 Jun – Actor-director Namewee has started filming his latest movie titled "Banglasia", which will include a multinational cast from Malaysia, Singapore and Bangladesh. The new action comedy is produced by Fred Chong who is noted for "Nasi Lemak 2.0", "Hantu Gangster" and "Kara King".

Yesterday, Executive Producer Fred Chong introduced the line-up of local and foreign talents, which include Nirab (Bangladeshi star), Saiful Apek (Malaysian star). Atikah Suhaime (Singaporean actress), Dato David Arumugam (veteran singer) and Lao Zha Bor (Singapore comedy actress).

According to Nirab, the reason that he accepted the offer to star in "Banglasia" was because he has seen some of Namewee's work and is very touched that Namewee flew all the way to Bangladesh to meet him.

"This will be Nirab's international film debut and he will be speaking Malay with the help of a Bengali translator," said Fred Chong.

When asked about the title of the film, Fred hurriedly explained, "The title of the film may sound very crude and racist, but we flew to Bangladesh to carry out our research beforehand, and we have been given the green light. As such, we are not trying to create any racial stereotyping or hate with the title "Banglasia", because the people there do use the word "bangla", so we have that Malaysians do not jump to conclusions and take it out of context," said Namewee.

Along with Nirab, it will be Singaporean actress Atikah Suhaime's first time starring in an action comedy film. The actress is currently signed under the Malaysian production company Metrowealth.

"Banglasia" will be Namewee's first fully action-packed movie. Currently, all details about the movie are kept under wraps but it has already undergone a month's worth of filming in various districts of Kuala Lumpur. The film is expected to be released during 2014's Chinese New Year.
