Looks like this blog is seeing its end of the light kinda thingy. I dunno why I just lost the spirit of writing these stuff even though Malaysian politic is going banana at the moment.

Luckily, we didn't go into KL since there was people going crazy. For whatever reason.

But either way, I wonder whether there is anything to report.

1. Going to Indonesia the other day was one bloody hell experience. Give me the creeps if I talk about it.
2. Finding new offices etc, looks fun and I wished our Company can super expand to everywhere around the world. Muahahahahahaha. :)
3. Since things are happenning quite nicely (I think), hope to see more things I can do in the Company.

Sigh. But of course there is going to have the ups and downs. We shall see.

Happy Birthday People

2009-06-28T15:58:00.001+08:00

Loads of June and July people. So happy birthday in advance la ah.

I know I have not written anything at all for nearly 3 weeks but let me just sum it up.

I have been mentally scared for life already.

Sigh sigh... Will try to write more about it...

Kris Allen Won American Idol

2009-05-21T10:11:00.003+08:00

Looks like Kris won American Idol. Yay. I was really supporting him!

Adam was great but he is always over the top. Good and bad. Very original. Sometimes painful to my ears.

But both will get their own records for sure.

How you'd all doing?

2009-05-10T22:26:00.002+08:00

Hey hey. It has been some time I have written a post. But anyway, I just got back from Houston. And let me tell you this. Although I love to flight, this is just crazy. It's like flying from KL to London on the same day. Just transit in Heathrow for 1 1/2 hours and off you go back to KL.

BANANAS!!!

However, the trip was one its kind. I loved it. It is the best show in the world and now it's true.

Okay. I have to go sleep now because the jet-lag is making my body a bit crazy.

Susan Boyle

2009-04-19T21:25:00.004+08:00

It's kinda wow and I'm listening to hear nearly every 20 minutes. It's really a heart-felt performance and she can sing for sure.

This is about the same case as Paul Pott. The previous winner of the X-factor. But even better. And I think it's the song too. I dreamed a dream.

From the BBC.

Last weekend, Susan Boyle was just a face in the crowd.

This weekend, clips of her singing on Britain's Got Talent have notched up almost 50 million views on YouTube.

Her face appears on the front pages of papers in Britain and beyond, she been offered a seat on Oprah's sofa and has been told she is as good as guaranteed a worldwide number one album.

Her face appears on the front pages of papers in Britain and beyond, she been offered a seat on Oprah's sofa and has been told she is as good as guaranteed a worldwide number one album.

The rise of the 47-year-old woman from Scotland has been a true global phenomenon.

Last Saturday, viewers saw Boyle, with double chin, unkempt hair, frumpy appearance and eccentric demeanour, step onto the talent show stage and proclaim her dream of being a professional singer.

The judges rolled their eyes and the audience pulled incredulous faces. Onlookers, on set and at home, were rubbing their hands at the prospect of another hopeless, deluded loser being crushed by a withering Simon Cowell insult.

Then she opened her mouth and sang I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables.

Her voice confounded all expectations - the judges' eyes bulged, the crowd went wild and Boyle became an instant star.

Susan Boyle

Watch Susan Boyle perform I Dreamed A Dream and speak to BBC Scotland

Ever since, the "fairytale" has travelled the globe and interest in the church volunteer has snowballed.

It is the story of a talent unearthed, but that does not fully explain why she has become such a sensation.

Boyle has shattered prejudices about the connection between age, appearance and talent. She has proved that you don't have to be young and glamorous to be talented, and recognised as such.

The YouTube millions have cheered on the underdog, and seen in her the possibilities for their own hopes and dreams.

Immediately after her performance, one of the judges, Amanda Holden, said they had been "very cynical", and that the performance was the "biggest wake-up call ever".

Another judge, former newspaper editor Piers Morgan, appeared with Boyle on CNN's Larry King Show.

"I'm sorry because we did not give you anything like the respect we should have done when you first came out," he told her. Referring to her appearance, he said: "We thought you were going to be a bit of a joke act, to be honest with you."

Boyle would have a best-selling album and a world tour by the end of the year, whether she wins Britain's Got Talent or not, he assured her.

And mentioning fellow judge Simon Cowell, Morgan added: "It's fair to say that his eyes have been going ker-ching ever since Susan's performance."

Blogs, newspaper columns and talk shows have been full of discussion about why Boyle has sparked such a reaction.

"She reordered the measure of beauty - and I had no idea until tears sprang how desperately I need that corrective," said Lisa Schwarzbaum from Entertainment Weekly.

Lisa Schwarzbaum, writer for US celebrity magazine Entertainment Weekly, said the performance was a powerful reality check.

She wrote: "In our pop-minded culture so slavishly obsessed with packaging - the right face, the right clothes, the right attitudes, the right Facebook posts - the unpackaged artistic power of the unstyled, un-hip, un-kissed Ms Boyle let me feel, for the duration of one blazing showstopping ballad, the meaning of human grace.

"She pierced my defences. She reordered the measure of beauty. And I had no idea until tears sprang how desperately I need that corrective."

Her post has been followed by comments from scores of readers saying they watched the clip repeatedly, with the same emotional response.

"I cried SO hard," read one. "There's something so beautiful about reaching your dreams... and knowing that age means nothing."

Another wrote: "I cry because she reminds us to hope, to never lose track of our dreams, to keep putting one foot in front of the other no matter what others say or think. She gives us hope."

"Fairytales don't come any more satisfactory than this," wrote columnist Melanie Reid in The Times.

"The sisterhood of the plain, those of us who will never look like Girls Aloud, nor even Girls Aloud's grandmothers, are cheering as never before.

"Susan Boyle is the ugly duckling who didn't need to turn into a swan; she has fulfilled the dreams of millions who, downtrodden by the cruelty of a culture that judges them on their appearance, have settled for life without looking in the mirror."

Miranda Sawyer, writing in the Daily Mirror, questioned why image was less of an issue for male singers.

"No woman gets to perform publicly unless she looks like Mariah Carey," she wrote. "If you're a female singer, you are required by showbiz law to appear sexy at all times.

"Poor Madonna and Kylie are desperately keeping up appearances, holding back the years with Botox and face-fillers just so they're allowed to continue with their careers."

The Sun newspaper has given away a free Susan Boyle souvenir poster. US talk show host Jay Leno performed an impression of her on his show.

Demi Moore famously joined the fan club. Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has congratulated her. She is odds-on favourite to win Britain's Got Talent.

A star has been born. Whether she will she leave a dent on our prejudices about age and appearance remains to be seen.

What have I been up to?

2009-04-14T22:14:00.001+08:00

I'm back. It has been busy and not busy.

The worse part now is that I have to do a presentation which I have no idea and experience. This is more like a sale talk!

Help me!

But I suppose it's good training aye? :)

900th post

2009-03-29T21:56:00.003+08:00

Well, this is my 900th post. Not too bad eh. Though I have to say that my posting has dropping crazily. From 2-3 posts a day not to hardly once a week.

I guess I don't have the feel to write anymore. Not to say that my engrand and england so good also.

Anyway, happy belated Earth Hour. I'm sure it was a good attempt to inspire and aware people on how we can save the world. Though to be honest again, it shouldn't happen just once every year. Just do it once a week and I bet it will make a bigger impact. :)

Singapore yeeeee

2009-03-24T10:06:00.002+08:00

I just got back from Singapore. Wooooooot. I think it's still one of the best place to work. Remember just to work. Not to live. Food is puiiiii. :D

Raffles Quay reminds me of Canary Wharf and you can feel the power man.

I will write more later on. I'm swarmed with work after leaving for 1 day.

Weird

2009-03-17T09:11:00.002+08:00

More and more naked pictures. Sorry la ya but who can you think for a minute that going naked for an interview is appropriate.

From the Star.

Naked photos taken during job interview

By KNG ZHENG GUAN

KUALA LUMPUR: He answered an advertisement to be a guest relation officer. Instead, David (not his real name) was photographed naked as part of an interview to be a gigolo.

The 28-year-old salesman from here said he had telephoned a man called “Uncle Simon” because he needed a better paying job as he wanted to plan for his future.

Bare truth: David explaining his situation to Chong at Wisma MCA Wednesday.

After “Uncle Simon” met him for the first time, he asked David to be a gigolo as he was good-looking.

“I accepted the offer because there was an interview, and I didn’t think there would be anything wrong with it,” David said at a press conference yesterday at the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department,

During the interview, he was required to be photographed naked.

He agreed to do so but covered his private parts during the photo shoot.

“I was afraid to reject Uncle Simon because he had my personal details as well as the pictures,” he said.

“They asked me to wait for a telephone call but it never came.”

He added he wanted to forget the whole issue because it was a stupid decision.

David sought help from the department yesterday because he was afraid that “Uncle Simon” would expose the photographs of him.

David also said there were other gigolos as well and their naked pictures were compiled into an album for women customers to choose from.

Department head Datuk Michael Chong said there were many such advertisements that offered lucrative pay to attract naive young men and women.

The Painnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

2009-03-04T09:45:00.002+08:00

To read more newspaper every day just sickens me. I think it's just a load of crap. Period.

To read our newspaper, it pains me. I rather read international news. Even though it's more tragic that our current situation but it doesn't make me suffer even worse.

Some people just don't listen

2009-02-27T09:47:00.002+08:00

Tak peeee. No worries. There are always other ways to make them listen. :D

If I have to play the baddie, so be it.

I'm just sick and tired. Is it just so hard to come up and just collect a damn form. Nevermind. I will do what is necessary to make all of this happen.

F**K THURSDAY

2009-02-26T09:15:00.002+08:00

Just f**king spoilt my day!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Hu Ha Ho

2009-02-22T22:44:00.001+08:00

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Is there anything to write?

Oh ya, just the laughing joke about our politics. Hahahaha. Anything can happen. The sky is limitless right.

I read until I can burst out laughing one.

Bitdefender

2009-02-19T22:34:00.004+08:00

I think it's one of the best product around for anti-virus. Compared to Norton, that is nothing. To be honest, I'm quite surprised that I'm chatting with one of the technical teams now. Ah ha. Now, I wonder where they are speaking to me from?

Well, I strongly recommend it to anyone who needs any antivirus. :)

Bad Sunday

2009-02-15T12:23:00.003+08:00

Oh my goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood. How can one person have so many bad things happening and it's only half the day!

First, my tummy is like dunno what, exploding. But it seems that I have a hyper active tummy. Dunno what that means.

After that, my baby took a big fall. CRAP!!! Luckily, it's chipped at the base so it's not obviously. It split into many pieces. Heart attack!

And now my application for something has been rejected!

F**K la.

The Drama

2009-02-12T20:18:00.001+08:00

Never in my life time now this would happen. I'm not going to spit out the details but it is unacceptable in any organisation.

We all have to be fair at all times. No matter what the consequences are.

Malaysian MP removed from office

2009-02-06T23:00:00.002+08:00

FINALLY! This made news on the BBC.

God damn it la Malaysia what is happening?!?!?!?!

A Malaysian opposition leader has been forcibly removed by police from his office in a political tussle over which party controls the state's legislature.

Perak state's chief minister, Nizar Jamaluddin, described his removal as a "coup" and promised legal action.

The opposition won control of Perak state in general elections last March. But the ruling National Front coalition said it was wresting control of Perak state legislature after the defection of several opposition lawmakers.

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said the lawmakers were now "friendly independents".

Mr Najib is expected to become prime minister next month in a transition agreed with incumbent Abdullah Badawi.

Commentators have described the Perak manoeuvres as a burnishing of Mr Najib's image as a decisive and politically adept leader before next month's internal party vote.

He had recently run two by-election campaigns in which the National Front coalition lost.

Public concerns

The National Front claimed it had wrested control of Perak's legislature after three lawmakers quit the opposition on Wednesday.

Following the defections, both sides have 28 seats in Perak's 59-member legislature, but the National Front claims it effectively has control because the three independents would back it in any vote.

Due process?

Opposition leaders have criticised the conduct in the Perak change of power, saying the use of defections instead of an open by-election has damaged democracy.

Anwar Ibrahim's opposition Pakatan Rakyat alliance won an unprecedented five of Malaysia's 13 states in general elections last year.

He later tried to take over the government by engineering defections but failed to gain adequate numbers.

The same party has controlled Malaysia for more than 50 years but analysts say there is no doubt the government is struggling.

Truly Disappointed

2009-02-05T16:00:00.002+08:00

The decision made today by _____________ is truly disappointing. Period.

I guess we have to just watch more drama.

Perak's Situation

2009-02-05T14:35:00.003+08:00

Well, to be honest, I didn't know until this morning. Even American Idol can't beat this drama!

But truth to be told, this is just pure stupid. If they don't hold elections for that state, I believe you can see the destruction of the ruling party the next coming elections.

However, many months back, PR was trying to people to defect. Would they call for fresh elections if they won the majority?

Well, we will never know.

11 months to go

2009-02-01T22:28:00.000+08:00

Wah... So fast hor. 1 month finish and then 11 more months to go. Better take things to its fullest as time passes so fast these days.

Don't want to be emo bemo. :)

I'm back

2009-01-29T09:48:00.002+08:00

Happy New Year everyone.

2009-01-21T10:03:00.003+08:00

Man. I was suppose to see him last night but haiya, it was like 1am then. I need to sleep.

But either way, now you just know that this is just a great person. One who is passionate. I know I suck in speech writing etc but seriously the speech he wrote(I'm sure with some assistance of his speech writer someone) is just amazing.

His speech is about 19 minutes long so ~~may be~~ too long to read and even listen. :)

Go listen in the BBC la.

Boo Yaaaaa

2009-01-17T22:41:00.001+08:00

Today seems to be a busy day. I just need a mini break.

So what have I done for the New Year. To lose weight.

Firstly, must cut down on the eating.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2009-01-01T21:33:00.001+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2008-12-29T09:51:00.001+08:00

Well, I was back for sometime already. But nevertheless, it quite tiring travelling. I met up with some good friends and it's never bad to laugh your head off with these crazy lot.

The new year is approaching. Hope you all are ready for it. :)

Merry Christmas

Looks like this is the end of my blog. And I haven't updated it for like 5 days! Oh well, I guess, you reached a point where you can't blog forever.

I think I need my break.

My neck hurts now. I dunno why. :(

Encouragement?

2008-12-17T07:54:00.002+08:00

I guess there was nothing much to talk about. Just that it was really slow and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. There are still a number of things I have to go through but I will try to get there.

Any words of encouragement people?

Sunday Work

2008-12-14T12:57:00.002+08:00

Wahhhhhhhhh. Sunday kena work. Oh well. That's part of the business. :)

Now, let the training begin.

‘Final warning’ on rear seat belts

2008-12-12T22:28:00.003+08:00

Not to be a pessimistic, but I don't think this will work. Fine, I don't do myself but trying to remind myself la. Let me briefly explain.

First of all, people already beat the red traffic lights especially those damn motors! Those are the ones causing the accidents. DUHHHH! And that's like the first rule of driving. STOP AT RED LIGHTS. NOT GO FASTER!

How about those who has those damn white blinding lights at night. I thought it was banned but does the enforcement take place. You can answer that. Also how about tinting the windows with ultra dark films. Also banned but it's everywhere.

Then you have those in kampung not wearing helmets. Does the police even bother summoning them? NO. Though I have to admit, it won't be kampung if they don't wear their helmet.

But of course safety comes first.

So, what's the point in asking we people to wear the rear selt belts where enforcement is like #@$*@#&%*(@#&*#@$&#@$&#@!

From the Star.

PETALING JAYA: From Tuesday, motorists whose passengers are not belted up will be stopped by police. However, instead of summonses, they will be issued “advisory notices.”

The ruling comes into effect on Jan 1, after which the police will issue summonses. Road Safety Department director-general Datuk Suret Singh said the advisory notice was a final warning to motorists on the new ruling.

“It is not a summons but we will take down the car’s registration number, driver’s name and MyKad number, date, time and place they were caught flouting the law,” he said after launching a campaign advocating road safety here Friday.

He said motorists should not have the mentality of “wearing the seat belt only when they see the police” as the ruling was for the safety of passengers.

Suret Singh said research had shown that wearing seat belts saved the lives of 200 backseat passengers every year.

“Half of the accident victims were saved from severe and minor injuries by wearing rear seat belts,” he said.

A Good Day?

2008-12-11T08:24:00.002+08:00

It's very very cold here. But the people are damn nice though. Sometimes, I wonder they would treat me the same if I weren't you know.

But all I have to say that this Company has certainly has some fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeee people (not in a sexual or horny way!). The best I have worked so far. They are passionate and they are all out for the Company.

Sayonara!

2008-12-09T22:40:00.001+08:00

Bye bye. I will be out for sometime but who cares right. This blog now is just redundant. :(

Worse than a snail!

2008-12-08T10:58:00.001+08:00

But most of all, it's the people. Tockie Tock.

Happy birthday okay. I hope you didn't get drunk and hey, I hope to see you next week la. :D

Anyway, I went to Bar Club in a Heritage Row or Road(which by the way, I lost my virginity again!) and sorry I didn't take pictures. I was in a trance with loads of smoke. Man we need to do something about the smoking indoors.

Time to exhale all the bad bad smoke! *cough cough*

2008-11-11T09:04:00.001+08:00

Looks like today is going to be a long day. I presume it's my weekly PMS. Lol. A bit drama hor but I'm not feeling the love today. Aihhhhhhhhhhhhh. Nevermind. Life has to go on.

I really hope I can find my lost item. I really dunno whether it is. T_T

Again I'm Back

2008-11-10T16:56:00.003+08:00

Lol. I know you all don't miss me but yes, I'm back.

To be honest, I have been travelling quite a bit. My eyes already also like O_O!

But it's all fun. We have to do this at a young age. When you are old, sure don't have the time and bones might have been broken already. :)

"Sawatdee Khrab!"

We Shall See!

2008-11-06T09:12:00.002+08:00

Time passes so fast now huh. It's already Thursday. To be honest, I thought it was Wednesday. Oh well.

I attended a higher management training *cough cough* (the next CEO in the making man! Muahahahahahaha!), and it was really interesting. You would never imagine what have people to turn around a company or of course embezzled the company but in thousands but in hundreds of millions!

What to do. We have people like that in the world.

Ahhhhhhhh. On the second note, Barack Obama won! Yay. Very happy about that. Hope we can see big big changes in that country and not to mention our country about our political future.

We shall see. We shall see.

Wa Siao Lang!

2008-11-03T22:31:00.001+08:00

Slowing down it looks to me since I'm blogging down less frequent now. I guess blogging could takes its toll who blogs everyday. I suppose 'wa siao lang!' But hey, it's a Monday anyway.

But as for now, nothing much. The family is coming back for a reunion etc. Hopefully it would be great fun. :)

Health Ministry stepping up no-smoking enforcement

2008-11-02T21:34:00.005+08:00

FINALLY! They took my complaints seriously! Well of course not solely mine la but seriously, Malaysian law enforcement sucks.

As for them finding ignorant restaurants which doesn't follow this law, just go to the hotels first. Don't need to scan the mamak place etc(if they ever have air-con and no smoking place).

Thank you very much, Mr DAP Segambut. :)

From the Star.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry is stepping up enforcement against smokers who light up in non-smoking areas.

Action would also be taken against restaurant owners who allowed smokers to puff away at non-smoking sections, said its minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai.

“Air-conditioned places such as restaurants must have separate smoking areas with their own vacuum system to prevent other parts of the premise being polluted,” Liow told reporters after launching Health Day here on Sunday.

“We will increase the number of raids and checks to ensure rules are abided by,” he added.

The intensified measures to stop the offence were decided after the ministry received various public complaints of smokers who refused to put out their cigarettes despite “No Smoking” signs being displayed.

Liow said the ministry would also try working together with shopowners to bar children below 18 years of age from buying cigarettes.

Those caught smoking at prohibited places and premise owners who neglect the rules face a maximum fine of RM10,000 or two years jail or both.

I'm in loveeeeeeeeeeee

2008-11-02T21:16:00.006+08:00

Ya man. I'm in love. With this ice-cream la! What were you thinking! They don't call it Love Potion #31 for nothing!

In Malaysia, it only comes out at Valentine's Day. That's like 1 year! But now at least it comes out every 31st.

Sooooooooooooo in love.

Of course have to see what it's made off. If not, I'm a fat pig, die also. :) And NO MELAMINE TOO!

PCA 2008 Forum

2008-10-21T22:29:00.002+08:00

Though I have to admit sometimes listening to music in the morning gives you an headache. Most likely we should like to music in the car going to work THEN slow start to listen in the office.

YES! I can do that. There are like 5 of us and all 4 of us are hearing to different music at one time. So you can see that it's quite a party up there. Hehehehe.

Though to be honest, there is more to come. But hell no I'm not doing it! We shall see how this goes. :)

Finance crisis: in graphics

2008-10-09T12:00:00.005+08:00

Now this is more like it. For noob and dodo like me for the Finance Crisis happening, this is a much better way of display what's really happening. I find it very funny. But I know it isn't because people might have lost everything. Nevertheless, I believe this is all greed.

Remember, nothing is too good to be true.

From the BBC.

It is shaping up to be one of the most tumultuous times on record in the global financial markets.

The financial landscape is going through a period of upheaval with some major firms folding, other operations merging and a limited number of companies in both the Europe and the US, being rescued at a governmental level.

THE CASUALTIES

As the global financial crisis has worsened, the number of firms to crumble or be bought out has increased.

US BAIL-OUT

Governments have spent billions of dollars on rescue packages, led by the US with its $700bn rescue package.

SHARE PRICES

Banks have continued to suffer the steepest falls in share prices. HBOS share prices fell sharply on Tuesday, down 26% at one point, before picking up again.

Royal Bank of Scotland shares have followed a very similar downward path. The bank suffered a pre-tax loss of £691m in the first six months of 2008, the second biggest in UK banking history.

US bank Merrill Lynch was taken over by Bank of America on 15 September prompting an initial recovery in shares, but they have since dipped again.

Fortis shares were falling sharply until a rescue deal was mounted by European banks on 29 September.

Central banks cut interest rates

2008-10-08T19:30:00.001+08:00

Seven central banks - including the Bank of England - have cut their interest rates by 50 basis points.

The UK rate move - which had not been expected until Thursday - puts interest rates at 4.5% from 5%.

The US Federal Reserve has cut rates from 2% to 1.5% and the European Central Bank trimmed its rate from 4.25% to 3.75%.

The central banks of Canada, China, Sweden and Switzerland all took similar action in the co-ordinated move.

The unprecedented step is aimed at steadying a faltering global economy and slumping stock markets.

The Fed said that it had acted "in light of evidence pointing to a weakening of economic activity and a reduction in inflationary pressures".

Malaysian PM 'to quit in March'

2008-10-08T18:39:00.002+08:00

Well, I didn't want to speculate but of course I was right. Takut ISA mah. :D

From the BBC.

Malaysia's Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has announced that he will step down from office in March.

The move will effectively hand power of the ruling National Front coalition Umno, and therefore the job of prime minister, to his deputy Najib Razak.

Mr Abdullah has been under pressure to quit since disastrous election results earlier this year.

He has faced discontent within his own party, and also an increasingly strong opposition led by Anwar Ibrahim.

"I am now announcing I will not seek the presidency of Umno in the upcoming elections. I want a party that is united," Mr Abdullah told a news conference.

By tradition, the president of Umno is leader of the coalition government and therefore prime minister as long as the coalition is in power.

"I hope Najib will be my successor, I believe he can win," Mr Abdullah told reporters.

Switching allegiance

Mr Abdullah resisted pressure to resign in the immediate aftermath of the election result in March, in which the government lost its two-thirds majority in parliament for the first time since Malaysian independence.

Many of Umno's traditional supporters from the majority Malay community switched allegiance to Anwar Ibrahim's multiracial coalition, the People's Alliance.

In the months after the polls, Mr Abdullah hammered out a plan for a transition of power to Mr Najib in 2010, but his critics still remained unsatisfied.

Mr Anwar is now threatening to bring down the government with parliamentary defections from the National Front.

All go go go!

2008-10-08T10:39:00.002+08:00

Hahaha. Now, I have a lot of things to do. Ekkkkkkkkkkssssss. Wish me luck.

Good Bye My Friend!

2008-10-07T12:35:00.005+08:00

Good bye my friend. My very good friend. So sad. T_T

May you rest in peace. You took the fall for me. I will always remember you!

You served me well. But your brother will do a finer job. :D

Got Rejected

2008-10-07T11:55:00.003+08:00

Yea so much for keeping my hopes high for 8 months! Go die la Shell! :D

Too bad, you are losing a good employee! Muahahahahaha!

Anwar claims more than 31 MPs will cross over

2008-09-16T18:12:00.002+08:00

Music to my ears! Malaysiakini is down so I have to make do with the Star.

From the Star.

PETALING JAYA: Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has claimed that more than 31 Barisan MPs have agreed to cross over to Pakatan Rakyat.

He, however, refused to reveal the names of the 31 MPs.

Anwar told a press conference at the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya on Tuesday that he would give the list of the names to the Prime Minister when he meets him.

The Permatang Pauh MP also claimed that the transition to the new Government has been delayed a few days pending the meeting with Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to ensure a smooth and peaceful transition.

“The numbers are increasing by the hour, but as of now, it is in excess of 31 MPs.

"This is not empty talk. I am fully responsible for my statement but we have choose to be patient and use the conciliatory way,” the PKR adviser said.

He called on Abdullah to meet with him, where he said he would even give the Prime Minister the names of Barisan MPs wanting to defect to the Pakatan Rakyat alliance of opposition parties.

“I am appealing (for this meeting) in the name of political stability and a smooth transition. It will be preposterous for the Prime Minister to deny me this meeting,” said Anwar, who was flanked by leaders from PKR, DAP, PAS and even non-member Parti Sosialis Malaysia.

Asked why he still refused to give the exact number of defecting MPs or their names, Anwar said there was a fear the MPs would be detained or harassed if their names were released.

Asked what he would do if Abdullah refused to see him, Anwar smiled and replied: “Why assume he will refuse to see me? I am his friend. I believe we will meet.”

He said Pakatan would give Abdullah some time to consider because the latter was having problems within his own party.

Pressed for a deadline for a meeting with Abdullah, Anwar said he did not like to give any ultimatum but it should be within the next few days or “other options would be considered.”

He said he would refer to his coalition partners in Pakatan to discuss the next course of action, but was committed to ensuring the takeover was constitutional.

Anwar was non-committal when asked if he would seek an audience with the Yang DiPertuan Agong to present himself as commanding a majority in Parliament, or if he would seek a motion of no-confidence against Abdullah at the next Parliament sitting in October.

He said these options would be discussed with other Pakatan leaders.

Anwar said that in a letter submitted to Abdullah on Monday, Pakatan had made four demands to ensure a smooth transition:

1) That Barisan does not hinder or prevent the MPs from acting in accordance with their conscience, constitutional rights and independentjudgement;

2) That the Barisan government should not invoke the Internal Security Act to detain the MPs or any other current Pakatan MPs;

3) That the Barisan government does not invoke emergency laws or police powers or suspend the Constitution or dissolve Parliament; and

4) That the Barisan government shall not impose roadblocks or impede MPs from going to Parliament or any institution of government.

A Change of Government?

2008-09-16T17:16:00.002+08:00

Tadda. So they say la. Well, we just have to see another 2-3 days.

But many are speculating about the use of ISA. You know what I mean.

Pray hard!

D-Day

2008-09-15T22:21:00.002+08:00

It's upon us. To change or not to change. That is the question.

We shall be waiting closely tomorrow.

Though don't wish too hard too.

Lehman Bros files for bankruptcy

2008-09-15T21:05:00.004+08:00

Well, I won't say I told you so because I have loads of friends being in this company. Not to say that they were in for like 4-5 years but just joined the bank like 3 months ago. They worked their ass off for this and look what happened.

They have to go through the entire process and what's worse is that they have to do it in recession. And of course I hope they don't!

However, all of these are too good to be true. Not to pry on this, but didn't I tell you that oil and gas is the way. It's always constant and always in demand. Well, within our lifetime anyway.

All the best peeps. Just remember to keep your head high. You didn't do anything wrong!

From the BBC.

The fourth-largest investment bank in the US, Lehman Brothers, has filed for bankruptcy protection, amid a growing global financial crisis.

Lehman had incurred losses of billions of dollars in the US mortgage market.

The move threatens to deal a further blow to the global financial system, as banks unwind their deals with Lehman.

Merrill Lynch, also stung by the credit crunch, has agreed to be taken over by Bank of America in a dramatic weekend of events for Wall Street.

Its impact is being felt around the world:

Stock markets and the US dollar have tumbled in reaction to Lehman's collapse, with banking shares hardest hit. UK bank HBOS saw its shares plummet 30%.

Central banks have moved to reassure markets. The US Federal Reserve has broadened its emergency lending scheme and the UK and European central banks have injected a total of $39bn (£22bn; 28bn euros) into the financial system.

There are fears AIG, once the world's largest insurer, could also face collapse. It is taking steps to raise money amid reports it is seeking a $40bn emergency loan from the Fed.

Bank of America's move to buy Merrill in a $50bn deal means that three of the top five US investment banks have fallen prey to the sub-prime crisis within six months.

In the UK, accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers have been appointed as administrators for Lehman.

Anxious markets

Stock markets in Europe and Asia dropped sharply and the dollar tumbled against the yen, the euro and the Swiss franc as Lehman's failure raised fears about the strength of the global financial system.

The FTSE 100 index of leading UK shares was down 271 points, or 5%, at 5145.3 by midday.

Wall Street is also expected to open lower in what is likely to be a tense day of trading.

The Bank of England and the European Central Bank said they were monitoring developments and had pumped £5bn and $30bn respectively into money markets to help stabilise them.

US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said he would work with regulators and policy-makers around the world to maintain the stability of financial markets.

"I am confident in the resilience of our capital markets, and in the commitment of US regulators and market participants to work together through this difficult period," Mr Paulson said.

Talks collapse

The chance that Lehman Brothers could collapse increased sharply after the strongest potential buyers pulled out at the weekend.

Barclays and Bank of America had been in talks to rescue the bank but negotiations faltered when it became clear that the US Treasury was strongly opposed to using government money to help clinch a deal.

The Treasury had given $30bn backing to Bear Stearns in order to secure its sale to JP Morgan in March.

Greg Wood, the BBC's North America business correspondent, said that police had cordoned off the bank's headquarters in New York and staff were leaving with cardboard boxes as onlookers gathered to watch the bank's demise.

"I think the whole history - 150 years of effort and hard work - that's the most saddening part for me," said one Lehman employee as she left the building.

The bank, which employs about 25,000 staff worldwide, including 5,000 in the UK, was founded in 1850 by three brothers.

'Extraordinary 24 hours'

Lehman Brothers said it intended to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which allows a company time to reorganise and devise a plan to pay creditors over time.

It said that its broker-dealer division and asset management division Neuberger Berman Holdings would not be included in the filing.

The accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers said the UK operations of Lehman Brothers have been placed under administration, and the business would be wound down in an orderly fashion.

Bank of America said it had agreed to buy investment bank Merrill Lynch for $50bn (£28bn), in a deal that will create the world's largest financial services company.

Three of the top five US investment banks have now fallen victim to the credit crunch.

Lehman and Merrill join Bear Stearns, which was sold to JP Morgan for a knockdown price in March.

The BBC's business editor, Robert Peston, said that it had been Wall Street's most extraordinary 24 hours since the late 1920s.

He said that Merrill's sale was almost as shocking as Lehman's demise.

"The global financial economy has never in recent years been tested by quite such a combination of accidents and jolts to confidence," he said.

Insurer in trouble

In addition to Lehman and Merrill Lynch, problems at AIG, once the world's largest insurer, are also mounting.

Reeling from losses on its exposure to real estate, AIG has sought $40bn from the Federal Reserve to shore up its finances, the New York Times has reported.

To help prevent panic on financial markets, the Federal Reserve said for the first time it will accept stocks owned by banks as collateral for short-term cash loans, broadening its emergency lending programme.

Also 10 of the world's biggest banks on Sunday agreed to establish a $70bn emergency fund, with any one of the banks able to able to tap up to a third of it should they face any liquidity problems.

SHOES!!!

2008-09-14T13:05:00.002+08:00

In Malaysiakini, the minister say(you guess who) said that it was the reporters fault for starting the information spread.

Tadda. This is the brilliant minister's work at his best.

Hello! You got to be kidding me!

What are reporters are suppose to tell? Your love for all races story and somehow filter all those bad remarks made by some %*$#&#$ idiot! Or what? Create stories ah? That also use ISA. Write the truth also use ISA.
