Breaking News!!! Anwar arrested !!

DSAI was arrested at 1315hrs this afternoon outside his home in Bukit Segambut. I dont understand why DSAI was arrested even his dateline is 1400hrs ?? Why is he arrested when 'sp called crime' is not even committed yet ?

We could understand that he could be arrested if he didnt show up at IPKKL at 1400hrs as directed,but he still has 45 minutes before the dateline is over and if he was arrested at 1401 hrs. Would appreciste the cops that if they are so hot on the heals of the thousands of wanted criminals out there !!

Below is the latest news from The Star online...


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim arrived at the city police headquarters here in a white Pajero at 1.15pm Wednesday after being arrested by the police.

He had been arrested in front of his house in Bukit Segambut.

His lawyer Sankara Nair said the police told Anwar that he was being arrested for investigations under Section 377C of the Penal Code for alleged "carnal intercourse against the order of nature."

On June 28, his 23-year-old former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan had lodged a police report alleging that Anwar had sodomised him.

Asked if Anwar was handcuffed, Sankara said he was not.

Anwar started giving his statement to the police at about 2.50pm, said another of his lawyers R. Sivarasa, also the Subang Member of Parliament (MP).

Anwar's wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said he had called her from the police car to say he had been arrested.

"He asked me to go home to look after the children," she said when met in Parliament lobby earlier Wednesday.

Wan Azizah was at the city police headquarters by 1.30pm, followed 25 minutes later by daughter Nurul Izzah and her husband Raja Ahmad Shahrir.

"It's a feeling of deja vu with what happened 10 years ago," Wan Azizah said, adding that she was unhappy over how the arrest had been conducted.

"We'd already given our assurance that he would be at the police headquarters at 2pm," she said.

Police said they arrested Anwar an hour earlier before the 2pm deadline because they feared he would not show up.

Federal CID director Comm Datuk Bakri Zinin said Anwar was supposed to have gone directly to the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters immediately after giving his statement to the ACA in Putrajaya.

"However, we were informed that after he left the ACA headquarters in Putrajaya, he had changed his route and was heading back to his house in (Bukit) Segambut," he said.

"He was arrested as we had reason to believe he was not going to show up," he claimed.

"We wish to point out that Anwar had initially agreed to meet us on Monday but he failed to keep his appointment," Comm Bakri added.

PKR members and about 200 supporters had gathered at the city police headquarters after news of the arrest went out.

"I don't believe this is happening. We will seek to get him released as soon as possible," said DAP chairman Karpal Singh.

DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang described the arrest as "highly provocative and shocking."

Balik Pulau MP Yusmadi Yusuf, who was there as Anwar's lawyer, said the matter would be brought up in Parliament.

The police had on Tuesday given Anwar a 2pm deadline to answer allegations of sodomy.

Anwar was at the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) headquarters in Putrajaya at 10am Wednesday over reports he had lodged against the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the Attorney-General (A-G).

In his report lodged on July 1, Anwar had alleged that IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan and A-G Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail had fabricated evidence in the “black eye” investigation in 1999.

Musa was the investigating officer and Abdul Gani led the prosecution in the case in which Anwar had been beaten up by the IGP then, Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Noor.

The two were questioned by the ACA on July 11.

Anwar left the ACA headquarters at 12.20pm.

He said the ACA had not completed its interview, but he had to cut it short to make his 2pm appointment with the police to answer questions over the sodomy allegation made against him.

"I have adduced all evidence to the ACA officers and I am satisfied with the line of questioning," he said, adding that everything he said had been recorded.

The interview was conducted by a few ACA officers, said Anwar, who arrived at the agency accompanied by lawyers Sankara, Sivarasa, Param Cumaraswamy and dozens of supporters.

"If I am arrested, I guess the ACA can do their follow-up interview at the lock-up," he joked.

Parliament Dress Code : Too Short ??

Journalist Denise Lee’s skirt which the security guards felt was too short. — NST picture by Mohd Yusni Ariffin


Another amusing news from our Parliament is on the new dress ruling especially for women dressing .. check out this news taken from NST. An incident which involves a journalist from Kwong Wah Daily were barred from entering the Parliament yesterday by the security guards whom turned fashion police , because in their opinion her skirt is too short, when its already at knee length ?? Some were even asked to pull down their skirts by a few inches ?? Then the journalist with so called short skirts would turn out wearing a skirt ala rapper.

While traditional dress is allowed..I would suggest the reporters to try to wear this to Parliament and see what would happen ?? Well the length is way pass the knee length and its traditional clothings mar........deng deng deng........



Nah..traditional costume and the length is way pass the knee length mar....cannot meh ??


What has our parliament is now ???

MP of Kinabatangan Datuk Bung
Mokhtar Radin said that "It was not a
bad sign- i was just showing like this

Parliament House.

Check this out...Hey Mr MP ' You are caught on TV '....somemore deny wor..cant you just be like our Dr Chua , who is really a gentlemen, by admitting his own wrong doin.

Is this what our country needed ?? IS this the type of MP who to fight for our rights and the rakyats ??

Wantan Mee at Restoran Mee Wah,Bidor,Perak



Each time when I pass thru Bidor on my way up north, this is a must stop for me. No not at Pun Chun where everyone is flocking to for their wantan mee, duck thigh soup etc..I would prefer to head to this local eatery for some homemade wantan noodles,which in my opinion beats Pun Chun's wantan mee flat down , which was once claimed as the best you can find in this state. Maybe after years of popularity took its toll on its quality which has since detoriated so much lately.

This eatery is much lesser known than the infamous big brother of Bidor, Pun Chun, which puts Bidor into the maps of food connesiours around the country. But this place is a well kept secret of the local community here.

The wantan noodles are all homemade thus it retains the springy texture in every bites..which machined made noodles cant deliver . And the wantans are made fresh and each bites never fails to delivers satisfaction, thanks to the amount of fresh prawns versus pork in each wantans. They made their wantans just as the Hongkies made it, more prawns than pork in their wantans, unlike our local versions where its the opposite.

Try for your self....and you'll never regret !!


Directions : From PLUS highway exit thru Bidor. After paying the toll you would come to a T junction . Take a right turn. Go straight till you reach another traffic light with a KFC restaurant on your left( one and only you cant miss that !! ). The restaurants is just located opposite KFC, right beside the traffic light on the right.

Dunno how far its true..lets wait and see

Received this in my mail today..duno how far its true...Just wait and see lol

If it really happens.....remember where you read this !!



Mr. Juseleeno, born in 1960(reportedly still alive in 2008), is a Brazilian who has made many predictions, and MOST have come to pass, including Princess Diana's death by car accident (which is instigated by someone near her and will probably unfortunately be written off as a car accident), 911 and the 2004 Indonesian tsunami. He sees the future in his dreams, and has an average of 3 to 9 such predictions per day. When he wakes up, he will write them down, and send warnings to those concerned. If it concerns only a normal individual, he will write a letter to warn him/her. If it is a famous person(celebrity, politician etc.), or matters concerning the public, he will not only send it to the individual himself/herself, but also related agencies, government, and media. He urged the media to publicise these predictions, but the reply always went along the lines of rejection for fear of arousing public panic.


Future predictions:
2008, July: There will be an earthquake in Japan, which will cause a tsunami of 30 plus metres high to occur as well.
2008, 18th September: An earthquake with magnitude of approximately 9.1 will rock China , simultaneously causing a tsunami of more than 30 metres to occur, resulting in the deaths of more than 1 million people. Although this huge earthquake will happen after the Olympics have ended, there will be a series of relatively smaller earthquakes occurring in China before the huge earthquake. The China government, which is more concerned with the success of the Olympics, will most likely neglect to employ appropriate cautionary measures, thus the high casualty rate. If the China government does not publicise the occurrence of these minor earthquakes and evacuate people, the number of deaths will be as predicted.
2008, 17th December: terrorist attack in America
2010: The temperatures in some countries of Africa could be as high as 58 degrees Celsius, and there will be a serious shortage of water.
2010, 15th June: The New York Stock Exchange market will fail, causing an international financial crisis.
2011: The research on the treatment of some cancers will be completed, but a new life-threatening virus will appear. People who are infected will die after only approx. 4 hours of coming into contact with the virus.
2013, 1st – 25th November: Research on treatment of cancers, except for brain tumors, will be completed. An earthquake, caused by volcanic eruptions, will happen on Bahama Island of the Canary Islands. A gigantic tsunami of roughly 150 metres will result. America mainlands, Brazil etc. will be affected, with the tsunami pushing into the land as far as 15 to 20 kilometres. Before the occurrence of this gigantic tsunami, the sea/ocean water levels will sink by about 6 metres, and large flocks of birds will start to migrate.
2014: A small planet that has been gradually closing in on Earth might eventually collide with Earth, and this collision, if come to pass, will affect the survival of humans as a whole.
2015: By the mid of November, the average temperature of Earth could be as high as 59 degrees Celsius. Many people will die from the overheat, and international confusion and terror ensues.
2016, April: A huge typhoon will invade China, causing massive damage. The 43rd USA president, George Walker Bush, will enter the hospital, and faces a life or death situation.
2026, July: A super earthquake will occur in Sans Francisco, and it will be named "The Big One". Huge damage to surrounding areas. Many volcanoes will re-activate, and the height of resulting tsunami will be more than 150 metres.
Mr. Juseleeno made known his predictions in hopes that people will take heed of his warnings, so that these disasters may be avoided. He hopes there will be a major change in the thinking of people's mindsets in the time period 2007 – 2008. One factor will be the environmental issue of global warming, which is more serious than what some meteorologists assume.

預知地球與人類之未來的預言家
(提要)

Mr. Juseleeno是巴西的一名預言家,他出生於1960年,今年47嵗。曾預言過許許多多的世界性的災害與事件,包括:九一一事件、伊拉克戰敗後海珊總統被捕被判刑、印尼囌門答臘海上大地震與印度洋海嘯、羅馬教王保羅二世辭世等等。 1997年4月30日Juseleeno寄給梅加瓦蒂總統一封信,預言2004年12月26日早晨7點南亞洲將會被8.9級之超大地震侵襲同時也會引發10米高的海嘯。Juseleeno收到從梅加瓦蒂總統府寄來的感謝信函:「……有很多事情我們不得不去做,但是我們又無能爲力。」 對於尚未發生的事件,Juseleeno也有很多預測,看起來觸目驚心,而又迫在眉睫:
2008年的7月日本會發生地震,同時會引起30米以上的大海嘯。12月17日美國會發生恐怖事件。
2008年9月18日中國將發生超強烈9.1級大地震,其震源地在南寧與海南島,同時也會引發30米以上的大海嘯,造成數百萬以上的人遇難死亡。
雖然中國是在奧林匹克運動會結束之後才會發生地震,但9.1級的大地震之前會有頻繁的小地震發生,中國政府只顧面子以世界運動會之成功與否為最優先考量的話,而忽視了頻繁的前震,事前都沒有做任何對策的可能性很高。中國政府也許會根據情況而發佈報導管制將預兆的前震之發生對內於對外一切封閉。如此的做法絕對會如預言所述災害慘重。Mr. Time Trabeler John Taiter的遺言:"2004年在希臘雅典舉行的奧林匹克是最後的一次。"
2010年:非洲的數個國家之氣溫可能高達58攝氏度,同時發生嚴重的缺水。6月15日紐約的股票市場會崩盤,世界的經濟將陷入危機狀態。
2011年:癌症的治療方法研究成功,但另一種新致命性病毒會出現。感染上此病祗要4小時即會死亡。
2013年:腦腫瘤以外的癌症之治療法研究成功。Canary群島(加勒比海附近諸島)的巴哈馬島11月1日~25日期間,因爲火山爆發而發生地震。之後又會引發150米高的超巨大海嘯。約80米高的海嘯會湧到加勒比海。美國本土、巴西等地也會再沖到15公里~20公里的內陸地。海嘯要發生之前海水會沉下約6米深,大量的鳥類也會開始移動。
2014年:慢慢接近地球的小行星(Planet)有可能與地球發生相撞,此小行星的存在影響世界人類存滅之問題。
2015年:11月中地球的平均氣溫可能高達59攝氏度,會有很多人被熱死。世界的大混亂也隨之擴大。
2016年:4月中會發生颱風侵襲,中國有大都市會遭到破壞。美國的現任總統喬治布希先生將會緊急入院,面臨生命危機。
2026年:7月舊金山會發生超巨大地震被稱爲"The Big One"聖安德列斯大斷層會被破壞,加州會崩垮掉。很多火山口會重新開啓,海嘯的高度也會超過150米。
從Juseleeno的預言來看,地球溫暖化年年急劇上昇,到2012年非洲國家的氣溫可能達到讓人驚慌的高溫58攝氏度,同時也會發生嚴重的缺水,之後氣溫也會更加上昇直到2015年地球的平均氣溫會達到59攝氏度,有很多的人會被熱死,人類的大恐慌將會擴大到全世界。
無論如何,現在發生的溫暖化現象並不像氣象學家認爲的"暖化速度很緩慢"而是直綫急速上昇的。
留給人類的時間祇剩不多了!
2007年年底止是我們人類覺醒的最後時限。Juseleeno期望到2007年底世界上能發生很大的"意識改變"。

Duan Wu Jie( Rice Dumpling Festival) - A tribute to a special poet


Every fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar chinese calender marks as Duan Wu Jie to remember the death of a chinese patriot by the name of Qu Yuan . There were several versions of legends and stories that indicate Duan Wu has existed way before Qu Yuan's death, the tradition still carries on. Most importantly for me is that on this day , I am able to savour this once a year delicacy commonly as CHUNG !!!



Qu Yuan

Duan Wu Jie is a widely celebrated festival amongst the Chinese, to pay respect to the patriotic poet, Qu Yuan . The legend involves a really long and complicated throne-fighting war and political history. But to make a long story short: Qu Yuan was an important minister back in Chu Kingdom in ancient China. He had been known for his loyalty for the emperor of Chu, and loved his country greatly. However, His Majesty had not taken Qu Yuan's advice seriously, and he eventually got himself trapped and captured in a foreign land by his enemies, which then lead to his own death.

Sad and angry at the corrupted, dying Kingdom, Qu Yuan tied himself to a big rock and threw himself into the River of Puo Luo. The people then made rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves and threw them into the river. They believed this would stop the fish from eating Qu Yuan's body. Some would even row down stream in a boat, beating drums and shouting out loud in the hope to scare the fish away (it was believed that it is how the Dragon Boat event is related to the festival.

Another popular version is that, the festival pays respect to court official and poet Qu Yuan, who stood up to the corrupt Chu government in ancient China. Unfortunately the patriotic statesman was wrongfully accused of treason. Later upon hearing that the present government was defeated by the Qin Kingdom, Qu Yuan, in despair drowned himself in a river.

People who came to know of this selfless act made dumplings and threw it into the river to appease the poet’s spirit. And the practices still last till today, and we are bestowed with such a delicacy !!

Itis a traditional delicacy that has been around for centuries but over the years the art of making yuk-chung (Chinese meat dumping) is said to be dying. The art of making this dish is handed down from generations. Fewer people from the younger generation, including housewives are unfamiliar with the preparation of this delicious dumpling, preferring to buy them instead. And this includes yours faithfully's family !! We hasnt had this practice of making our own chung since my grandmother death 20 years ago.

The Chung making process

To make the yuk-chung, five basic ingredients namely stir-fried and seasoned mung beans, chestnut, salted egg yolk, dried mushroom and pork are used. This are then wrapped in special bamboo leaves, normally imported from China. But modern businessman nowadays has created variety of chungs from the humble plain 'kan sui ' commonly eaten with sugar or plain kaya to some ultra luxury which consist of luxury ingredients like dried scallops, dried oysters , abalone and even pate !!

For me..nothing beats a traditional Bak Chang ( Ham Yuk Chung ) filled with dried shrimps , mung beans , salted egg , dried black mushroom , water chessnuts and a piece of fatty pork belly , eaten steaming hot with a dash of Maggi Chilli Sauce !!



The binding process

The art of stuffing and binding the dumplings, is a meticulous process. The most important part in chung making is actually not the stuffing, but the binding part. Too loose the rice would fall out during boiling, too tight it would burst as the dumpling would expand during the boiling process !! The completed dumplings are then simmered for six to seven hours before it is hung to dry.


Click here for a complete step by step guide of Bak Chang making.

Warning : Do not overeat this delicacy . I once downed 3 helpings at one go,and ended up blurping and suffering from indigestion for the rest of the night . Best to go with some really hot chinese pu-ergh tea !!

Petrol rise again !!!!!!! Pump in water now ??


I believe all Malaysian knew that Mr Sleeping has just announced that the petrol price would increase tomorrow to RM2.70/litre wef 5th June 2008 !!! Just a few days ago..he just announced that the petrol price would increase in August..so guess that he must has made the remark while sleeping !!!!

As an effect almost whole of Setapak suburb was jam just now... thanks to some smart aleks motorist who caused it by queing up to get petrol at the few gas stations leading into Setapak..Aiyo..how much can you save lar.... ???? Also u burn petrol while seating inside the car also mar.....right ?

I sometimes really dont understand Malaysia as a petroleum producing nation, we still need to import petrols from overseas ?? Also as Petronas is making so much money exporting petroleum to overseas.why cant they channel all their profits to subsidise the petrol..rather than chanelling to some pockets ???

Also the move to subsidize private car owners RM625 for each car below 2000cc wouldnt help much either. For the 78 sen increase...its just to offsets about 800 litres of petrol on price difference only. If to be divided into 12 month.......its barely enough to subsidize 2 tank full of petrol..on just price difference, in a month .

So its very clear now...BN = Bil naik, barang naik !! Bila naik ?? Baru Naik !! Berapa Naik ?? Banyak naik !!!!!! Gaji saja tak naik !!!!!

Click here for Asian petrol prices

Also that our PM keeping on stressing that our petrol prices is cheapest in da region ... Yes if you were to count in USD/litre... but dollar for dollar ?? For example your salary is RM3000, compares to someone in Singapore who gets SGD3000. He pays SGD 2.15 to 2.35/litre and yet we pays RM 2.70/litre. Then a bowl of wantan mee already cost RM4 in Kuala Lumpur, while in Singapore its SGD2.50 only. YOu get the picture ??? Our folks there can stretch their dollar more than we folks stretch our ringgit here !!

Back to nature..Bukit Gasing explored


Its has been 2 weeks since we talked about trekking up Bukt Gasing forest reserve, but it has to be cancelled due to the weather, and we finally maked it on Labours Day holiday. It's been quite sometime since my last hike, and my first to Bukit Gasing. I would be ashamed that since its so near to KL, but I've not done it before....but now we've done it...half way.

There are no less than 10 different trails of varying difficulties in the forest today, giving anyone – from the beginner to the super-fit – a decent workout. It’s also a favourite with nature lovers who come here to view the leaf monkeys and do a bit of bird watching.

To our dismay find out that our usual trail has collapsed due to a landslide, some trees have fallen from the heavy rains. Gone are the stream and bridge and we has to walk thru some half walkable trail, lining behind some houses to bypass.

Cutting thru some forest trail in the first leg of the trail.

Since its been quite some time since my last trekking, I was quite tired being put thru the pace of climbing some steep earthtrail,coupled being hurt my knee due to an earlier fall just minutes ago,which my shoelace got entangled with a water pipe and being a humpty dumpty and fell flat on the floor.



Bukit Gasing should be rich with plnats and insects but unfortunately we didnt manage to catch a glimpse of that. Maybe we got on the wrong trail ??

A suspension bridge which cross over a small stream. Not frightening at all !! Was hoping for some Indiana Jones things, but its securely built with steel ropes.


Its been a good workout, my first to Bukit Gasing,but definitely wouldnt be the last. So we target to get to the top at 160m the next time aroundwhich gives a panoramic view of both Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya.

Getting There: From the Federal Highway, exit at the EPF building on Jalan Gasing. Follow the road before taking a left at Jalan Lembah 5/2. ( Take a Chinese Temple as a landmark . The entrace is just beside the temple on your left ). At the next junction, turn into Jalan Tanjung 5/4. A wooden arch opposite a children’s playground marks the Bukit Gasing entrance.
