OMG


High Court grants Catholic publication Herald the right to use ‘Allah’ word again
KUALA LUMPUR: The Catholic weekly Herald is now free to use the word “Allah” in its publication after the High Court quashed the Home Minister’s prohibition against it using the word, declaring the order as “illegal, null and void.”

In her decision, Justice Lau Bee Lan also declared that under Article 3(1) of the Federal Constitution, applicant Titular Roman Catholic Archbishop Tan Sri Murphy Pakiam had the constitutional right to use “Allah” in the Herald in the exercise of his right that religions other than Islam might be practised in peace and harmony in the country.

She further ruled that the Constitution, which states Islam as the country’s religion, did not empower the minister to make such a prohibition.

What a surprise for a new year.

Probably I may not the most rightful person to comment on the court’s decision. In fact I’m not trying to, as I’m more interested to comment on the current atmosphere surrounding the issue itself from my personal point of view.

Some strongly disagree while some others agree under conditions.

Everyday we can see objections from certain groups. They are really fighting for it. While it showed their spirit to defend Islam, it also raised doubt in my mind.

Are they only defending the usage of the word itself?

How about the more important issues like continuing & expanding the teaching of The Prophet?

How about revamping the image of Islam that has been ‘scratched’ to the extent Islam is associated with terrorism, conservative & uncivilised?

And most importantly, how about adapting Islam in the right place – as the highest foundation of politics, jurisprudence, economy, social etc… How many of us really fighting for that?

I don’t know, I’ll just pray for the best.

A Dark Knight - Part 2 (Finale?)

This is The Batman.

He has devoted his life as The Guardian of his Great Lady – Gotham City.

To get rid of evil that took away his once perfect & beautiful life.

All he ever wanted is to see his Lady safe & prosper.

He never asks for anything in return, though he’s still human, flesh & blood – a little acceptance means world to him.

But nobody appointed him as Her Guardian, he appointed himself out of his responsibility & principles.

To some people, he’s a Hero. To most, he’s an outlaw – putting himself above others including the law.

It’s true. He’s methods are quite extremes. But he was raised in the most extreme psychological conditions not many can understand.

But deep in his big & warm heart, he’s the person that cares most for Her & the people. And he’ll keep fighting his inner demons, never betray Her, never cross the line, never will he become what he hates most.

But most people won’t understand him, for he’s not an open figure.

He’s hated, despised, cursed, spat on, being irritated of, betrayed & hunted – all due to misunderstanding.

Because he’s the Hero that She deserved, but not the one She needs.

But he can take it.

Because he’s not a Hero, not a knight in shining armour.

He’s more than that.

A silent guardian, a watchful protector, a self-sacrificing supporter.

The Dark Knight…




…so do I, except my Great Lady is not a city… but rather, owner of a City.

The Real Truth Behind The Missing RMAF Missing F-5E Jet Engines - Updated!

Seriously, I've finally deducted the mystery of this case.

It's started in September 2009 with the announcement of the formation of 1Malaysia F1 Team by the Prime Minister.

In mid-December 2009, local newspapers published the story of missing Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF aka TUDM) F-5E jet engines. It was mentioned that the engines were missing since 2007...

2 friggin' years and now only it's heard? And just 3 months after the announcement of the 1MF1 formation?

"In the name of my grandfather... This mystery is solved!"

What will you get when you combine this...

...with this?


Answer: You'll get this:


Yeap, they are using the jet engines on Malaysia's first F1 race car!

Think I'm joking? See: (...of course they are masquerading as Toyota F1 Team)

Bye bye 2009

2009 is nearing it's end.

2009 has taught me a lot,
the hope of life,
the reality of death,
the sweetness & bitterness of love,
the nature of trust & being trusted,
the richness of friendship,
the frustration & anger out of betrayal,
the selflessness of sacrifice,
the fear of failure,
the thrill of success,
the joy,
the sorrow,
and of course, the pain...


People says:
"The night is darkest just before the dawn, and the dawn is coming..."


and just yesterday's evening...
I received a shocking phone call,
it's from the PC service center where I sent my laptop for repair,
that my laptop was infected with too many viruses & beyond saving,
there goes my 5 years of personal & professional data...

Being optimistic, it's time for me to start a clean slate.
Moral of the year: Back up all your data...sob! sob!

The Truth Behind The Missing TUDM's F-5E Jet Engines

Few days ago, Malaysia was shocked with the news of a General Electric J85-21A after-burner turbojet engine – used in single-seater F-5E Tiger 11 and RF-5E Tigereye fighter jets – was discovered missing from the Sungai Besi RMAF airbase during a routine maintenance service.

Also missing were avionics system, maintenance and service records.

It was also confirmed by Ministry of Defense that 2 (WTF!) engines were stolen, with each costing RM50mil if they were new.

While we still can't forget the Al-Maunah's weapons 'heist' & use of armed force's C4 in the bombing of the late Altantuya, this is 1 fu**ing serious case! It's a matter of national security & Malaysia's credibility in the eyes of the world.

But while we continue to blame the government & the corrupt military officials, have we ever consider that all these military cases are actually conspired by this guy:


It's Starscream!!!

Seriously dudes, Starscream couldn't find any 'Kedai Potong' for his spare parts, so he actually found a weak link in RMAF's procedures.

Man, this is serious. The evil 'Decepticons' are infiltrating our Military's structure.

What next? We'll become slaves of the alien robots?

Just where the hell are 'Optimus Prime & the Autobots' when we need them?
