YIPEEEEEEEEEEE. THIS BLOG IS ONE YEAR OLD!

Today this blog is one year old. This day one year ago, I unmasked myself in solidarity with the above Blues Brother, Rocky and Jeff who was being sued by the nasty New Straits Times. I hate bullies especially bullies who use others money to bully ordinary people. But I know that these bullies do not sleep soundly. Trust me. They don't.

That day at Denmark House I met old Xaverian Syed Imran with his son who told NST what he really thought of them. The presence of this father and son further convinced me that I cannot remain just a commentator called Zorro.I have to unmask. Back in the National Press Club that night, former student Tony Gayangdato urged me to put up a blog of my own, as he had done earlier. It didn't take much persuasion and that was how zorro-unmasked joined the band of bloggers who put a name to their nick.

So how did we fare. I really don't know. Perhaps the figures below could tell although I lost six months of sitemeter records. But truth be told I met some wonderful men and women who agreed to disagree. Today, these are my buddies and soul-mates. I have learnt a lot from them and they have touched my life, believe me you men and women did. You have all enriched my life. I dont know how to repay you. My gratitude goes to the readers and commentators who visited, said their piece and mostly professionally too. I only had to reject four commentators and if I did not apologise to these four, I am saying it now. My gratitude also goes to Sheih, Mob1900 for lending me their graphics.

Did I make a contribuion? Was the posting impactful? I tried to contribute from the heart. Impact? Maybe I got recognition for the wrong reasons: Somebody impersonated Zorro and had his posting hosted by Mahaguru. When alerted Zainal immediately broght down the posting. Then last Saturday during the Price Hike Protest a police superintendant called out to me: "Hello Zorro, can I have your particulars?" And three weeks into opening up this blog, an anonymous caller reminded me that there was a place called Kamunting. If getting noticed is impactful for whatever reasons I will continue to write from the heart, for justice, for peace, for freedom to speak, freedom to assemble, and freedom to tell it as it is.
I HAVE LIVED A GOOD LIFE AND IT IS NOW PAYBACK TIME IN THE LITTLE INSIGNIFICANT WAYS MADE AVAILABLE TO ME.

RECORD QUARTET CONDEMNED INTO THE FART CHAMBERS.

(The Star) - SEREMBAN: The High Court here dismissed an application by the family of a 74-year-old Chinese man who was buried according to Islamic rites to verify his thumbprint on his conversion papers.

Gan Eng Gor's widow, Chua Chun, and her six children had filed the application claiming there were discrepancies in the deceased's conversion papers.

The family's counsel Khoo Chin Nam said judge Datuk Azhar Ma'ah dismissed the application without costs in chambers.

"We wanted to have Eng Gor's thumbprint on his conversion papers examined by the Chemistry Department. But the judge said we would need to go back to the Syariah Appeals Court to do so," he said when met outside the court.

Last Thursday, the Syariah High Court had released Eng Gor's remains to the state religious council after the deceased's widow and six children failed to appear in court to challenge his religious status.

Syariah High Court judge Mohd Nadzri Abdul Rahman in his ex-parte judgment said Eng Gor, whose Muslim name was Amir Gan Abdullah, was a Muslim based on the testimony by officers from the council and his oldest child Abdul Rahman Gan Abdullah.

In his testimony at the Syariah Court, Abdul Rahman said his father had converted to Islam on July 3 last year. This was witnessed by council officer Shasainie Siau Abdullah.

HOW THESE THREE AND ONG KA TING QUALIFIED FOR PUNISHMENT IN THE FART CHAMBER AND WHO CONDEMNED THEM.

Azhar ma’ah (High court Judge)

Yen Moy, January 29, 2008 | 16:05:03, said:

For cry out loud, thumb print or no thumbprint, with or without declaration from a person the person lives a life that he was. If you smoke and die you are a smoker you can't be a non smoker by thumb printing or declaration.
How good is it to get a dead Muslim with a Buddhist heart or a dead Buddhist with a Muslim's heart?
In my opinion Mr Gan Eng Gor should be judged by the way he practices in life. If he eats pork after thumbprinting then I think ALLAH will reject this contaminated body. If ALLAH is compassionate then he would say "let you have the body but I will always have his heart."

Angela Ooi, January 29, 2008 | 16:05:36, said:

Ahzar Ma'ah you have abdicated your role and brought contempt and shame to yourself and your profession. You will have to live with your decision. JUSTICE WAS NOT SERVED. I pray you will get your just rewards with interest too

Malaysiaputra, January 29, 2008 | 16:36:06, wrote:

Looks like our judges hold little importance of justice for the plaintiff. Why has a non Muslim got to resort to an Islamic court ? The clown who sits on the first appearence in the Sharia has not done his job properly. He is just too emotional when it involves a non muslim.

From the pic of the conversion documents, one can see that somethings are definately not in order. How come the judge is blind to this ?. Obviously he must be a clown .




MUST READ AND VIEW

HERE







.......and this is the biggest piece of Chinese shit....

Abdul Rahman Gan Abdullah THE RENEGADE SON….AND HE WAS THE ELDEST.

He is the biggest fraud here. There was only a thumb print (or was it his fathers? ) The judge did not allow Chemistry Department to verify this. Suspicious, suspicious!!!!Did he pay the religious authorities to vertify his father became a muslim so they he could possess the “ill-gotten” goods????? Remember the recent case of bribery in the syariah court? Which parent can own such a renegade son? As the eldest male son it was duty to take care of his father. He never even visited his father after the massive stroke. He gave his address as the address of the new convert. How can he lie so blatantly. Somebody give me his photo. I need to put him longer in the chambers. The family should disinherit this dastardly eldest brother and publish it in the papers. I would.....and may a million fire-ants make nest in his rear-end orifice.

Yes Rahman Gan Abdullah, you are this


Ong Ka Ting.

As MCA president and avowed representative of the Chinese (he does not represent me, please) there was not a SQUEAK from him nor from any MCA blokes. When Hindraf took to the streets what did the Chinese say: we lost millions of dollars….so said that Running Dog ‘whats-his-name…..the guy with no neck who was Bukit Bintang MP for one term through the grace of a corrupt judge…..

CHINdraf? Fat hopes. The Chinese will never….will lose business. Money is more important than values, more valuable than soul. By the way, me Chinese too you know? But I am Malaysian first and Chinese by birth.

KHAIRY IS FURIOUS....REPORTS HANTU.....

terima kasih Chris


Hantu corrected me. "He is not furious, he is raving mad!" Of course it was all about the insipid performance of his favorite FIL(?????). Hantu as resourceful as ever overheard this conversation but would not say it was to his spouse, although later reference to Gabriel during the conversation gave sufficient hint that he was speaking to Nori.

"I am terribly disappointed. Hasn't he learnt after so much advise from me? Didn't he see how I handled al-Jazeera. I had to over-do Nazri because he was dry-throat like a zombie. Didn't you all noticed how I expressed and emphasised with my hands, my body and my eyes, even my smile. When you appear in front of the camera, you are making a statement without having to say one word. I did that, for sure,Didn't you notice that I had PRESENCE? Even Maya-di.....my friend sms me that my presence was just overpowering. I just don't like what is happening of late....why is Gaby dozing off so often......I am already having my hands full and now this CNN caper! I have to take more control. Sometime this week I will make an announcement about the selection of candidates for the GE. Somebody has to be incharge right...and who better than me, right? I am already overwhelmed with running things right up to the 11th floor, monitoring Haidar's every move, selecting candidates, and getting pledges.....(long pause or groping for the right word)......of support that is. There are DVDs making their pilgrimage around the states. I have to do some damage control and some conflict resolution. I thought I would use all these skills when I am PM but looks like I have to apply them now. The damage is humongous! Now I have to worry about abang Hisham....can he be effective in Pematang Pauh? And I think you need to whisper a few words to Jean on the choice of head-gear for her husband when being interviewed. His PA should never allow an interview by cNN on the golf-links. He is the leader of Malaysia. The interview has to be in a studio and with make-up. See, I have to even worry about all these. Sometimes I just want to tell him, "Step aside, I will take over now." but then, I realised that most of the time he listens to me. It is when I slip away to do other things that those old goats around him come kissing hands and you know where!
But I put the blame on this CNN fiasco on this character. I summoned him to the fourth floor but was told he had scooted off to Sungei Patani to give goodies to kids who did well in some exams.
I really have to re-engineer this slob. He got hammered when he protested to BBC that they should not interview Anwar. He got the whole country gassed and water-cannoned by bunglingIt waI when al-Jazeera talked to him. It was the mother-of-all bungles. He just cannot communicate.....just like Nazri, he can only make pronouncements and he has to read from prepared text. Yes, I did warn him not to attempt a language that makes a dunce out of him. He should not have allowed the CNN humiliation. See, why is Gaby dozing off again....do something about this....he is still so young. Rataplunk (a German expression he picked up and use quite often.....its meaning depends on the mood of the moment.)"

I asked, "Hantu, what is happening to the Royal Commission of Inquiry? Is it going to be a white-wash again?"

He flew off with: "Read my beak tomorrow, I have an evening rendezvous with Little Bird and Deep Throat....anyway show our people this CNN disaster:




NO PAPER TUESDAY LAUNCHED.

Today at 11.00am at Bloghouse, the People's Parliament, thru a Press Conference will launch a boycott against the Main Stream Medias that for quite a while now have been pedaling lies, half-truths and blatant spins. The MSM have prostituted themselves to serve their political masters.I want to state here and sincerely, this is not a move against my many journalist friends with whomn I have shared many fond memories. I am fully aware that whilst they write with the right hand, they have many times been forced to use the other hand....or else. This move is to target the owners and by extension the editors to write it as it happened and to allow journalists to report what they see and not what some subservient editors and their masters want the people to read and belief. I want to see editors break free from the grip down there. I want to see journalist, editors stand beside each other and say, "Let us do our job as professionals or take your job and shit-can it." Stupid suggestion, of course, because I am not amongst them. But in real life, things like this have to happen for better things to happen.... a fruit must fall to the ground before it can take root for another tree to sprout. We either live by our convictions or be subservient all our lives. Living is bland and colorless if it is not blended with self-respect and self-esteem.THE TIME IS NOW FOR JOURNALIST AND EDITORS TO SAY: WE WILL CALL THE NEXT DANCE.

Rocky says it better here

POLICE BRUTALITY? IMPOTENCY MORE LIKELY...'THEY CAN'T DO IT ALONE.....THEY NEED THUGGISH REINFORCEMENT.

THERE WERE MORE OF THEM THAN US.
THEY WERE ARMED
WE ONLY WORE OUR MALAYSIAN SOULS
ON OUR SLEEVES.
Yet see how they crowded over and intimidated Affendy and family who came all the way from Kajang with their infirmed children just to lend support to the cause.
When did it become unlawful
to stand close to your citizen brothers and sisters?
Who made this unlawful?
Has Parliament become IMPOTENT?
THEN WE NEED TO CHANGE PARLIAMENT!
TAKE BACK THE POWER THAT BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE.
Today a commentator wrote this on my previous blog:

HELLO ZORRO....CAN I HAVE YOUR PARTICULARS?

“Hello Zorro, can I have your particulars”, he asked.

I was waiting outside Suria KLCC for Terrence Tan. It was 5.30 pm and the cops had already apprehended some two dozen protesters but they were hanging around just as I was hanging around. It has been sometime since I lepak and since the police, and Rela(x) were also lepaking, I knew I was in good company. That’s when this guy approached me.

“Who wants to know?” I asked.

Stupid question, on hindsight as he displayed his name tag as EIAP….a Superintendent I later found out from another cop. Earlier at around 5.00pm he was the one who ordered the arrest of Iskandar (Black in Korea) and lady activists Ms Nooraza Othman.

I produced my MyKad. He handed it to an un-uniformed guy who held it for an un-uniformed lady who took down my particulars. I like this type of teamwork for a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Supt. Eiap was polite and I reciprocated likewise. I must have looked like me and sounded like me. Betcha, one of the SB guys pointed him out to me but like Haidar said it may be irrelevant to ask. He then asked me what I did? I told him I was beyond hiring age at 68. When he commented that I did not look my age I rewarded him with my secret…..”clean living and a lot of things spiritual few nights a week”. Probably he did not dig that. He returned my MyKad with a “have a nice day” and I was supremely polite with a “you too, and sleep well.”

HOW THE AFTERNOON UNFURLED:

What happened before 3.15pm according to Malaysiakini:

More than two dozen individuals have been detained by the police near the Kuala Lumpur City Centre ahead of a protest against price hikes organised by the Coalition Against Inflation (Protes).

At about 2.45pm, seven PAS’ party volunteers, including one woman, were picked up outside the KLCC Jalan Ampang entrance and brought to the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters for questioning.

Almost simultaneously, near the
Ampang Park LRT station, another five women and three men were also detained in connection with the rally.

Malaysiakini reporter Syed Jamal Zahiid was also picked up. He was detained while questioning a police officer over several arrests near the Ampang Park area.

Malaysiakini office has contacted Dang Wangi OCPD Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman to vouch for the identity of Syed Jamal who then assured that the journalist would be released after giving his statement.

At about
3.30pm, about 200 Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) supporters marching from Ampang Park towards KLCC were locked in a standoff with the police.

Ten minutes later, at least 12 PSM supporters and leaders were arrested after a minor scuffle with the police.

And this from Malaysia Today:

We're not causing any problems, we're just saying that prices are going up and the poor are hurting,' Socialist Party of Malaysia chairman Mohamed Nasir said before he was taken away by police.

'The leadership is paranoid, there's no democracy,' he said.

The detained journalist was from Malaysiakini, a news website which is one of the few independent media organisations in the country and whose offices were raided by the government in 2003.

'I'm definitely disturbed by this. It shows that police are not respecting the rights of journalists to do their job,' said Malaysiakini's editor in chief Steven Gan.

'They should have released him as soon as he identified himself as a journalist,' he said.

Police refused to say why the reporter, who had been asking an officer for information, was taken away.

3.15pm LOCKED IN.

At 3.10pm the Putra Line pulled into the KLCC. I went thru the tunnel to exit Jalan Ampang. All automatic doors were locked-down except for a small door that was guarded by a lone cop. I asked to move in. “Pergi mana encik”?…”girlfriend tunggu bus-stop,” I fibbed. He let me thru but still we were not allowed onto Jalan Ampang. Locked in again, I asked a security personnel what was happening. His reply: those stupid people demonstrating. I zapped him: Those people are fighting for you too….so you are stupid and a coward. He walked away timidly….yes I was ready for a fight. I hate stupid people like this worm who let others fight their battle.

There must be a way out. A corner outlet had an exit to the front of Avenue. I smiled at a sales personnel and signalled exit. She pointed to her left and that is how I got out.

3.40pm outside Avenue

Media people were clicking away at somebody who was sitting on the Avenue entrance steps. I asked Eli Wong and she said that a cop elbowed the Indian lady and she passed out. Iskandar confirmed this. A paramedic stretcher was made available but the lady and her companion refused to use it. I later asked an Indian what the lady said….loose translation: “Bring me down and offer me government stretcher. I don’t need government help.” Spot on, I say.

3.50pm at Avenue Bus Stop:

A journalist (I was told) Chow was bundled into the police truck because he was wearing a Bersih T-shirt. I was talking to Terrence Tan and I had noticed Chow sitting with his lady companion at the bus-stop. Whilst Chow demanded to know why he had to get into the truck, an elderly malay couple was forced up through the back of the truck. I gave her the V sign and she returned same to me. I then gave her the two thumbs up greeting.


affendy and family

4.15 pm outside Wisma Central:

I met Affendy and his wife and their two “special children”. He related that earlier he was held by a cop. He held on to his child. Photographers clicked away and the cop released him. Why? Because he wore a Bersih T-Shirt. PEOPLE, THE GOVERNMENT ARE NOW AFRAID OF A YELLOW T-SHIRT. I hugged Affendy and patted his wife on the arm and told them to continue to be strong. Affendy asked me: “Zorro, when the hike is announced I will take my family to PM’s house. Will you come with us?” “Of course I will” and offered him another assuring hug. We then exchanged numbers.

PEOPLE, WILL YOU FOLLOW AFFENDY?



at IOI protest
at Summit Mall



4.40PM: outside SuriaKLCC:

The crowd had thinned but the police presence were conspicuously thick. The heli still circled above us. Chances are they think they can spot Nini’s abductors from up there. Burning fuel at our expense. Shouldn’t the few hundred cops be searching for Nini and how many weeks has she been missing. Nah, protesters are easier catch……child abductors are too much trouble. A catch a day keeps the protesters away…..nah, not Malaysian protesters.

Besides the police some twenty Rela men and women were sitting under a tree on the Jalan Ampang road divider, like on a picnic. One particular old guy in shades was moving his head from right to left and from left to right. He was leering at the ladies who came out of SuriaKLCC. One other old guy Tan looked

lost. I could take these two guys down anytime, even if they wore combat boots. But I would not want to meddle with two lady Rela…..their body language give me the butch red-alert. There was nothing ladylike about them. Where did these species come from and how were they recruited? Anyone has the answer?

5.00pm at entrance of SuriaKLCC.


Photographers rushed towards the entrance. The police were surrounding Iskandar and Nooraza Othman. Nooraza was taken in by the police during the Human Rights Walk on 25/10. They were escorted into a waiting truck. I shouted encouragement to Iskandar (Black) and blew Nooraza a kiss and a two thumbs up sign. She did likewise. Another unidentified Malay man with Black threw down some leaflet at us (v below).


Iskandar aka Black in Korea - he is amongst those who send the pillow and bolster to PM,

Fearless activists Nooraza Othman

All this while I noticed a young lady photographer. She was covering media photographers from all angles…..instead of subject. She must be a police photographer, volunteered an AFP photographer who noticed her antics too.

I signaled to her to take a photo of me with my T-shirt which was more provocative than the Bersih T-shirt.(below). She gave me a virginal smile and moved away. Spurned I walked onto the concourse of SuriaKLCC and that is where Superintendent Eiap said, “Hello Zorro.”


Below: the leaflet distributed by Black, Nooraza Othman and another. For this they were arrested?
TODAY I SALUTE ALL THE PATRIOTS ARRESTED BECAUSE THEY CARED ENOUGH. I WAS FOUND UNWORTHY TO BE AMONGST THEM.....ANOTHER TIME....ANOTHER DAY...WHEN I AM MORE WORTHY TO BE COUNTED AMONGST THOSE BRAVE MALAYSIANS.

SAY WELCOME TO BONNIE BLOG LADDIE.

Gentleman and Ladies of All Blogs, please give Captain Karim Stu Russel, the traditional All Blogs welcome. He is the Ancient Mariner's sea-dog buddy of many adventures in all ports of call.(here) I met him last Saturday and never have I seen a more engaging Malaysianised mat salleh. Hoist them sails Mindful Mariner ....we sure got a lot of sailing to do. If not sailing Captain Stu resides at his pub here...
.....and might I add that he and YLChong aka Desiderata controls quite a bit of the Seremban better mafiosi like
Promptus Arriveth In the Midnight Clear

DOESN'T SOUND LIKE HIM....DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HIM.....HANTU THAT IS.


DAMN! He was foul last night...foul-mood that is. Nothing seemed right: the sushi joint I chose was not a celebrity hangout; he was not being appreciated for his efforts; he never even got a mention at the Loaf; the single malt was suspect; he was bitching about out-of-pocket expenses and even hinted about retirement plans.
On normal days I would have blown my top....but because Hantu did not blink once....I knew that he was bitching serious and I hate to have to look into his eyes that tells you....invariably and inevitably...."read my beak, stupid." In situations like this I am not allowed to speak (I write down my questions) but just listen. But before I could write my first question he went into me....sounded like this but did not sound like Hantu....with "before you came to this pseudo japanese eatery that has nothing japanese like in japanese you posted something inaccurately about the involvement of a japanese and an american. It is just one person, a Japanese-American, just as in African-American." I apolgised becasue it was unwise not to.

WQ
(written question): What's the take on Lingam?

Hantu: Do you want news on the Raw Water Transfer Project or Lingam? You people are so obsessed with him. He is an unscrupulous, compulsive, irascible, incorrigible, irrational, irreverent, irremediable LIAR. Given half the chance he can lie his way to convince those already in heaven to give up their PR (permanent resident) status and follow him to hell. May not sound like him or look like him, but we can smell that type of stink miles away. So do you want the RWTP or the man called Penis? Malaysia should shit-can this guy. His fart seems to have more substance than his words. Shit-can him!

WQ: What is shit-can?

Hantu: American expression I picked up....interpret it anyway you want. I am a messenger not an interpreter.

WQ: Point taken. What is this Raw Water Transfer Project.....I thought it was already a done deal involving Pahang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan.

Hantu: Done deal? Your minister should stop the tender and recall the PQ (pre-qualified) selection.
There is widespread market talk here and overseas of foul play during the PQ exercise. The Gamuda-China Consortium was disqualified from the PQ! Tell your machai to question this.

WQ: But you are my machai!

Hantu: You are insulting now.....I am not your's or anybody's machai......I am your messenger, observer, and on the ethereal plane, your conscience.

WQ:
Anything more on the RWTP?


Hantu: yes, but not today....leave it for later....got two items here: TV3 has sex DVD on MB of northernmost state. Sandwich style.....he in between mah! The other item:Samy already has 5,000 asli votes and 5,000 army votes. So he is ahead by 10,000 votes. MIC may have been given shares worth 5 billion over the years from various projects. So, he not pochee yet as you said earlier.

WQ: Is that all?

Hantu: Tell that friend of yours...that Shanghai Fishy fellow....I dont like his insinuations....I will not dig out anything about small-town folks. I have relatives in Taiping and they are all gentle people .....so he is safe for now, unless he continues to provoke.....but since he is a malt-kaki his sins are absolved.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

I came across an interesting posting picked up by Malaysian Unplugged Uncensored. Seems that after Dr. Chuah's episode there are a few to follow and that DVDs are already circulating. Blogger Politica has the story here
Ministers, Please Be Forewarned!

Tonight, I will be meeting Hantu at an undisclosed sushi joint. He claims to have something for me. Seems there's a multi-billion dollar scandal unfolding......involving three states, a Japanese, an American and our chief. We might have the story tomorrow.

FOUR MONTHS AGO.....

Just over four months ago, on Thursday October 18 2007 a Hantu-inspired post was titled: Go to

WHAT, A FAMILY RUNS OUR NATIONAL ZOO? JUST LIKE MALAYSIA?

The Malay Mail broke a similar story yesterday:

An MZS life member, who asked for anonymity, had referred to The Malay Mail’s report on a former Zoo Negara contractor, who claimed that a vice-president had allegedly demanded RM3,000 a month for several years, purportedly to safeguard his contract, adding that it “had been happening for some time.”

“It is common knowledge and most MZS members are aware of the malpractice, but everybody kept mum and never spoke openly about it.

“Word has it that the vice-president also demands money from other contractors too.

“Your (The Malay Mail) report had opened a can of worms and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Since the matter has been reported to the Federal Territory Anti-Corruption Agency, I hope it will be investigated thoroughly,” he said, adding that he is willing to co-operate with the ACA in their investigations.

The member commended the former contractor for coming out in the open, adding that the malpractice could have gone on for much longer had it remain un exposed.

“I hope other contractors, if they were or are in the same predicament, will come forward,” said the member.

MZS president and chairman Datuk Ismail Hutson, speaking to The Malay Mail earlier, urged those with evidence to come forward.

“Give me proof and I will investigate this matter,” he said.

On Tuesday, The Malay Mail front-paged the former contractor’s claims, who decided to spill the beans following the decision by Zoo Negara to terminate his contract recently.

It was reported yesterday that Federal Territory ACA had launched an investigation and were verifying the information forwarded by the former contract or to establish if there are ele ments of corruption.

A source was quoted as saying that several MZS council members will be summoned to have their statements recorded.

It was also learnt that ACA officers will also visit Zoo Negara to obtain relevant documents.

I like this bit: MZS president and chairman Datuk Ismail Hutson, speaking to The Malay Mail earlier, urged those with evidence to come forward.

“Give me proof and I will investigate this matter,” he said.

No Mr. Hutson, the proof might be under the "family" carpet and you don't have to invigilate and investigate ....it should have been done as early as last October.....the investigation WILL BE DONE BY THE ACA. This should be a piece of cake for the ACA unless somebody cast a long shadow over the on-going investigation. You people couldn't do much in the other zoo along Jalan Parliament, we hope you be more successful at the National Zoo....and believe me those animals there are not that dumb.....they do leave tell-tale signs only if you people try hard. Best of luck then.

Allow me to congratulate the Malay Mail team for championing this cause. This has always been the "Paper That Dared". Yushaimye Yahaya and Yusri Azmin, I owe each of you one at the usual place. Cheers brothers. Convey my gratitude to your team.

ZORROPEDIA EXPLORES THE NUANCES OF CLOSE FRIENDSHIP BORDERING IMPERCEPTIBLY ON INTIMACY.


You won't put your arms around somebody's shoulder, unless you are close. NO? You don't send 3 bowls of soup to somebody's sick wife, unless you are concerned close friends. YES? You won't purchase a handphone for any Apu, Ahmad and Ah Kow, unless he is is special friend. NO? You will only buy a lady's handbag and a man's wallet for people you are close to or indebted to, one way or other. YES? And you would not give the MOTHER OF ALL GIFTS - A HOUSE unless your friendship is like to death do us part....that type of friendship....NO?

I thought I would end here but HANTU burpped his pungent wasabe breath into my face and admonishing asked: What about the proof (the witness Thirunama Karasu's statement?). OK, but I dont intend to cut and paste the 21 paged statement. Day by day, I will put up relevant statements that proves the closeness between VK Lingam and Eusoff Chin. We need to do this because after a week the commissioners still choose to be pur-blind to this established fact.

Handbag and Wallet given to Tun Eusoff Chin

On or about 1996, I was instructed by Dato V K Lingam to go to Tun Eusoff Chin’s house to deliver a briefcase with a brown envelope in it. There were some documents in it. Together with this briefcase, I also delivered a ladies handbag and a man’s wallet. Dato V K Lingam told me that these items were from Italy. I personally gave it to Tun Eusoff Chin.


Three (3) bowls of soup

On or about 1996, I was in Dato K L Rekhraj’s house with Dato V K Lingam. The two of them were talking something about Dato Gopal Sri Ram. They referred to Tun Eusoff Chin as Y.C. Dato V K Lingam told Dato K L Rekhraj that Tun Eusoff Chin’s wife was ill. At that juncture, Dato V K Lingam told me to ask my brother, Panjaratnam’s wife to make soup and deliver it to Tun Eusoff Chin’s house. The following night, I went to see Rebecca who is Panjaratnam’s wife and Panjaratnam and I collected 3 bowls of soup from the house. We drove Panjaratnam’s car, Proton Wira BDV 1862 belonging to Panjaratnam, to Tun Eusoff Chin’s house. Both of us went into the compound of Tun Eusoff Chin’s house to deliver the 3 bowls of soup.

Intended purchase of house for Tun Eusoff Chin

On or around October 1995, I was instructed by Dato V K Lingam to bring the house keys for the house No. 2, SS1/38, Kg. Tunku, Petaling Jaya. I accordingly went there to Dato V K Lingam’s house and I met Tun Eusoff Chin and his wife at Dato V K Lingam’s house. Subsequently I followed Dato V K Lingam in his BMW (Registration No. WDN 788). Tun Eusoff Chin and his wife followed our car in their Mercedes Benz. At the back of Tun Eusoff Chin’s car, Dato V K Lingam’s bodyguards namely Ramli and Budiman were following in a car bearing registration number WCN 8981.

In the car, Dato V K Lingam told me that he wants to give the house at No. 2, SS1/38, Kg Tunku, Petaling Jaya to Tun Eusoff Chin as a gift. Upon arriving at this house, I showed Tun Eusoff Chin and his wife the house in the presence of Dato’ V K Lingam. However, from the conversation between Dato V K Lingam and Tun Eusoff Chin, I gathered that Tun Eusoff Chin and his wife were not happy. I heard Tun Eusoff Chin telling Dato V K Lingam he wants a bigger land to build a house of his own choice.

In the car, on our way back, Dato V K Lingam told me to look for two plots of land as Tan Sri Vincent Tan and Dato V K Lingam want to buy the land for Tun Eusoff Chin. I contacted Mr P M Vijendran who was then working for Reapfields Sdn Bhd. Dato V K Lingam also told me to tell Dato Sivaparanjothi and Mr Panjaratnam to look for the two plots of land.

Good people. There you go....or as my two mariners Capt. Yusof and Capt. Stu Karim would shout into the thundering waves: Its buggery on the high seas, mate.

Sheesh.....that calls for a stiff single.....no water Hantu.

SAMY POHCHEE:YOUR WATERLOO IN BATU CAVES TOMORROW?

Sam your days are numberd.....you are worn out.....you walked too many miles aimlessly....you are thread-bare....things are looking ugly.....can't hide anymore

From whichever side, east

West

even North......it is useless.....you should have done the Ling and Mahatir exit ....you overstayed your welcome.....the trouble with you is that whilst you build roads, you forgot to put your ears to the ground....that is if you understand the expression. You did not because you are too much of yourself. You only hear your cronies, especially those who polish apples; you forget that hearing is only an ability (unless dumb) whereas LISTENING is an acquired skill. You miserably failed to listen to your people, the abject poor, the marginalised vox populi. You thought you were god almighty, omnipotent....and now?

You are past your shelf-life.....rusty....unable to penetrate.....unable to do what you are supposed to do......last sunday you umpu just for left-overs.....it was a pathetic display of fawning ......pay your visit to Batu Caves tomorrow and bathe in the glory of the past....that is if they do not boo you.....and the stage give way (what year was that?).

POHCHEE SAMY.

CAPTAIN KARIM SAID: HAIDAR, YOU ARE A HIDER.



I have to agree with Capt. 'Stu' KARIM a retired sea-dog sidekick of the Ancient Mariner Capt. Yusof.

Remember this:
RCI chairman Tan Sri Haidar Mohamed Nor told theSun today it is good that people are willing to come forward and offer their help in the case. (or maybe you also forgot you said this less than three weeks ago...)

But I am sure your Lordship cannot forget this about the hidden seal:

The Supreme Court Judges [Wan Suleiman, George Edward Seah, Azmi Kamaruddin, Eusoffe Abdoolcader and Wan Hamzah] who held the sitting were suspended on 6 July 1988. In their press statement made on the same day of their suspension, they said the following: -

“We would add that when we sought to sit in court, we were informed by the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Haidar bin Mohd Noor, that instructions have been given by Tan Sri Abdul Hamid bin Haji Omar, the Acting Lord President, that none of the court staff should be present in court and the court doors should not be opened and we should not have the use of the facilities of the court including the Seal of the Supreme Court. In those circumstances, it even became necessary for Tan Sri Wan Suleiman himself as the presiding judge to sign the order which we made which in fact should have been the duty of the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court.”

And the age-old mantra: ...."if I didn't do it someone will...who is going to compensate me for the losses"....

Here I’d like to use Capt.Karim’s comment on my previous post:

Transparency, honesty, clarity and accountability should be the keywords of the RCI.

In order to determine the truth, nothing should be hidden, and all persons who can shed light on the affair should be permitted to testify.

If the Chairman is uncomfortable, or fearful that he may be in a conflict of interest position, then clearly he should step aside.

If not then RCI chairman Tan Sri Haidar Mohamed Nor may eventually be seen to be living up to the name 'HIDER' which is phonetically the same as his own name!

So your Honor, the people wait for you to call the following to testify:

Anwar Ibrahim

Karusu and his brother Rajendram Velupillai (gee it is three versus one...Hokkien says very "chyar lat".....strength sapping!)

and Abdul Murad Khalid

and in the process you can tell the other silent ones to hold their tongue….too late for them to break their vow of silence…..it was prodigiously deafening.

TWO PREDICTIONS CONFIRMED.WHAT NOW?

On Tuesday January 15, 2008 I made a prediction that Thaipusam would be declared a national holiday and I gave credit to Hindraf instead of Works Minister for this little gift to the Indian community. But it is not a national holiday! Just crumbs. Read

HINDRAF DID IT! SYABAS,SYABAS,SYABAS!


On Saturday 19 January (my previous posting) I mischievously said that VK Lingam will take the cue from his old buddy who accused him of either being mad or drunk. From Malaysiakini's report this afternoon, it looks like this has happened!

'Questioned by his counsel Thayalan as to why he has no recollection of the events of Dec 20, 2001, Lingam referred to the footage as he responded: "Looking at the video, there are bottles of wine, whisky or brandy, and a bottle of 7-Up. I would have had one too many drinks. It was a drinking session, a celebration, a party. It was more than six years ago, I can't recollect."

Later asked who provided the alcohol, Lingam replied that Loh usually brought "three to six bottles of red wine and one to two bottles of whisky or brandy" during visits to his house.

“He (Loh) insists we drink, so just to accommodate him, we drink,” Lingam said.

Wow, I want to know Mr. Loh .....good way to stock up my depleted bar. After six years Lingam can still remember details like "three to six bottles of red wine and one to two bottles of whisky or brandy".

In my previous posting I also urged the RCI that Lingam's brother Karasu should be called as a witness to establish the "hand over shoulder" relationship between Lingam and Tun (non-chinese)Chin. His lawyer this afternoon say the danger signs. Malaysiakini reported this:

The session then moved to issues related to the admissibility of events prior to the recording of the footage, with Thayalan seeking to expunge all testimony relating to the purported close relationship between Lingam and former chief justice Eusoff Chin.

ANYONE GETTING THE SENSE THAT THE STAGE IS NOW SET FOR THE STAGED ENDING TO THIS VERY unROYAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY?

GOD SAVE OUR JUDICIARY, PLEASE.....

IF GOD CANNOT SOMEBODY MORE POWERFUL IN MALAYSIA, PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL.

POM! POM! POM! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! AND MORE BULLSHIT COME MONDAY.

Good People, do you get the sense that more dirt will be swept under this monstrous malaysian carpet. Tengku Adnan, one time a salesman for Carpet International can't forget his roots. His answer to the RCI gets my prize for originality born out of desperation: He (Lingam) is either mad or drunk!
PEOPLE, DON'T BE SURPRISED THAT LINGAM WILL TAKE THE CUE AND ECHO THAT YES HE WAS INTOXICATED AND FULLY INEBRIATED AND THE DUO WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER....and the shutters will come down,
THIS OF COURSE MIGHT HAPPEN IF THE COMMISSIONERS FOLLOW THE SCRIPT.
Is there really a prepared script? Just curious only.


From the start of the RCI I have not been comfortable with the composition of the commission. Of course , what right have I to comment on this, but I have a right to feel uncomfortable, can't I?

As I observe, only Shankar seems to be asking some probing questions. If it carries on this way and the man sitting on the pile of durians accepts and allows witnesses to avow loss of memory, those two rats will scurry merrily away with the candy. Think about that.

I am convinced now. This whole RCI is one farce, at best a dog and pony show starring a faded and jaded quintet. Haven't we all noticed that the former madame solicitor-general and professor-hisotrian have since the start of the commission, taken a holy vow of silence. tsk, tsk...
If this charade is allowed to bore us no end, be prepared for more


lies, couched or subtle, but lies nevertheless.....

more lies, twisted or otherwise but still lies

and we all end up royally screwed and from the rear, be warned. Unless.....

unless....tuan Hider stop hiding something like establishing the fact that Lingam and Tun Chin's friendship tips into the extreme. And this can only be established if Karasu is subpoened as a witness. This commission has the stamp of ROYAL, this is not an internal domestic inquiry. If we continue to see this wayang, I say all the members should recuse yourselves, collect your allowance and @#*k off. You guys are no bloody good.

A CONCERT TO REHABILITATE RELA?

On July 6, 2007 Rocky put up this posting:

For Muslim women only. For exposing her arms while singing for a living, Siti Nor Idayu has been ordered to appear before the Syariah Court. She will be charged with"exposing her body" during a performance and "encouraging immoral activities". [Singer held over dressing, thestar online, 6 July] Did Siti Nor Idayu (pic) expose her body and encourage immoral activities? I wasn't there so I won't know. But I am tired of this Apartheid. Some Muslims in this country derive pleasure from shaming other Muslims and you'd note that these happen only to the lower caste Muslims. They are never going to order the Muslim directors in Malaysia Airlines to appear before the Syariah court for allowing liquor to be flown and consumed on board, for example. Or are they? There are a thousand other better ways if religious department still want to help promote a good image for Islam. Without shaming the Muslims, including those who are just having a good time and not hurting anyone.

Of course good sense prevailed and she was absolved but of course with some 342 warnings on the do's and dont's. (That bit I got from Hantu) Well, this is about the Religious Moral Police.

But now we have another called RELA, the Secular Moral Police, trademark cloak and dagger antics include hiding in dark corners and bushes to apprehend anyone digressing from the moral code in dressing and touching. Shanghai Fish, always and easily angered by any dickheads who cross the line by infringing into our private lives fumed over this here

PEOPLE, REMEMBER I AM SAYING THIS TODAY:

In the not too distant future, the hundred thousands of RELA will soar the POSTAL VOTES.

But I always believe in giving people a second chance. In the case of RELA would rehabilitation help. If I were to get sponsors to bring this singer from an Arab land it may help change their perspective and to re-engineer their image. If you people think it is worthwhile, let me know. We have a few sponsors lined up.
