This sat is Bersih 4 day.<br />
<br />
The objective is to ask the PM to resign.<br />
<br />
I know a lot of people will go to Dataran Merdeka but I caution all yellow shirt people<br />
<br />
to be careful because Umno is sending a group of young malays boy to attack BERSIH 4 members.<br />
<br />
Therefore,i call upon all of you DO NOT BRING YOUR WIFE,DAUGHTERS AND SMALL CHILDREN to<br />
<br />
this rally because of security reasons.<br />
<br />
Do not let this people to hurt your wife and children and let the govt have an opportunity<br />
<br />
to declare emergency because of security reasons.<br />
<br />
The job of this group of people is to CREATE RIOT so that UMNO can declare an emergency<br />
<br />
and continue STEALING THE RAKYAT MONEY.<br />
<br />
At the same time UMNO CAN ESCAPE FROM PROSECUTION FOR PREVIOUS THEFT OF THE RAKYAT MONEY.<br />
<br />
SO,come alone for security reason as we still have a lot of people together even without<br />
<br />
the ladies,girls and small children. <br />

GST is the goods and services tax which will start on wed 1st April 2015. A more accurate or<br />
<br />
appropriate word is GOVT SAY THANK YOU because all GST registered entity have overnight <br />
<br />
become the custom tax agents.<br />
<br />
Acoording to the govt,GST is a broad base tax which help the govt to be more efficient in the<br />
<br />
collection of taxes.<br />
<br />
This reasoning is BULLSHIT because the purpose of GST is to increase tax revenue for a <br />
<br />
BANKRUPT and CORRUPT GOVT LEAD BY UMNO. The expected GST collection for the 1st year is<br />
<br />
RM 23 Billion and in this way UMNO will have more money to STEAL from the govt.<br />
<br />
We have a WEAK PM who does not show LEADERSHIP and with low oil prices,low ringgit together<br />
<br />
with the RM 45 Billion 1MDB debt problem, GST is the Life saver for UMNO as no foreign Fund<br />
<br />
is willing to buy MALAYSIAN BONDS.<br />
<br />
UMNO is not interested in the welfare of the people and businesses because its objective <br />
<br />
is to raise fund at the RAKYAT EXPENSE in order to cover the BIG HOLE they have created<br />
<br />
in the govt accounts.<br />
<br />
Just go to Custom HQ at Kelana Jaya,the officers themselves are very confused.Ask them about<br />
<br />
Standard and zero rated items for traditional chinese medicine items,they are unable to answer<br />
<br />
as they are not sure which item is STANDARD RATED (SR) or ZERO RATED (ZRL).<br />
<br />
The govt do not care about this confusion as its main aim is to raise funds.<br />
<br />
Will you belief Ahmad Maslan when he say the money from GST will be for the people.<br />
<br />
THE ONLY WAY WE CAN SAVE MALAYSIA FROM BECOMING THE NEXT GREECE IS TO CHANGE THE GOVT.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
MH370 in the indian ocean.<br />
<br />
I want to make it clear that I do not know Captain Zaharie or any member of his family. Ever <br />
<br />
since MH 370 WENT MISSING ON 8TH March 2014,the foreign press especially the UK Daily Mail in <br />
<br />
in order to increase its readership have been reporting stories which painted Captain Zaharie <br />
<br />
in a bad light.<br />
<br />
I am also dissappointed with the family of the Captain as they have not come out and defend him<br />
<br />
despite the bad report about him.<br />
<br />
The Captain have been with MAS since 1981 and and they is no reason for him to attack MH 370 as<br />
<br />
he have given 32 years of excellent service to MAS.<br />
<br />
The foreign press also speculated that the Captain commit suicide but they is no reason for him<br />
<br />
to do that as he have a great family and financially sound.Furthermore,if he want to commit <br />
<br />
suicide,he does not need to go so far to the indian ocean to do it.<br />
<br />
In fact the Captain is trying to save the plane by making a turn back to Langkawi because they<br />
<br />
is depressurization in the aircraft which made breathing difficulties. That is why the Captain<br />
<br />
brought the plane down from 35000ft to 12000ft.Due to unforeseen circumstances,the crew<br />
<br />
and passengers of the aircraft become unconcious and the plane was flying under auto pilot.<br />
<br />
The story of MH 370 remind me of the death of golfer Payne Stewart who died because the plane <br />
<br />
he was travelling from Florida to Texas have depressurization and everybody in the private jet<br />
<br />
unconcious but the plane continue to fly under auto pilot and crash into a corn field farm.<br />
<br />
I have been watching the news since MH 370 gone missing and i know the Captain is a good <br />
<br />
person and i am commited to defend him. <br />
<br />
Finally,I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the family of the crew and <br />
<br />
passengers of mh 370.<br />
<br />
<br />

the European Champion League Trophy at the Munich Allianz Arena after Chelsea beat Bayern Munchen on Penalties.<br />
<br />
<p>In June 2003, Abramovich bought Chelsea Village from Ken Bates and he pumped in more than 1 Billion Pound into Chelsea with the intention of making Chelsea the European Champion. Before Roman came in, Chelsea were in deep debt as the Cooperative Bank in London <br />
have stopped overdraft facilities to Chelsea after the amount of overdraft reaches 94 Million Pound.But when Roman came in ,he settled all this overdraft debt.<br />
<br />
<P>Until today,the investment in Chelsea HAVE NOT BRING ANY RETURNS to Roman except the achievement of winning the Champion League Trophy.<br />
<br />
<P>In the history of Investment in the English Premier League, only ONE person have made money and that person is former<br />
Thai PM THAKSIN who sold Man City to Oil and Cash Rich ABU DHABI and Thaksin made 100 Million pound from this deal.<br />
<br />
<P>Since Chelsea have won the Champion League, I hope that Roman will appoint Di Matteo as the permanent manager of Chelsea<br />
and goal winner Drogba will be given a 2 year contract. I hope that Roman will not make the same mistake again when he SACKED Awrant Grant to make way for Brazil Scolari who lasted just 6 months. So, installing Di Matteo will send the right signal to the club<br />
supporters that the club is looking forward.<br />
<br />
<p>Even though Chelsea have won ,I hope Roman will continue to invest in Chelsea and bring more glory to the club.<br />
<br />
<p>Finally, CONGRATULATION TO ROMAN WHO HAVE WAITED FOR 8 YEARS TO CARRY THE CUP.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-11912690710312951342012-05-17T19:13:00.000+08:002012-05-17T19:13:06.893+08:00MALAYSIA ARMY is the KEYMany of my friends have ask me this question ? <br />
<br />
<p>Will UMNO SMOOTHLY TRANSFER POWER to PAKATAN RAKYAT if UMNO and BN LOSE in the next general election ?<br />
<br />
<p>My friends ask me this question after reading the STAR newspaper which quoted former Perak MB Nizar as saying that PM Najib recently met up with the ARMY top brass to seek the army help should Umno lose in the coming election.<br />
<br />
<P>They are very worried that MALAYSIA will end up like SYRIA where the ARMY is MURDERING THE SYRIANS PEOPLE ON THE ORDER OF THE GOVT<br />
in order to maintain power.<br />
<br />
<p>Initially,I was unable to give them an answer but I promised to give them an answer the next evening.<br />
<br />
<P>Early next morning, I went to see a friend of mine who is a retired LEFTENAN COLONEL of ANGKATAN TENTERA MALAYSIA (ATM) and after ordering our tea and coffee,I ask him the above question ?<br />
<br />
<P>Being a no nonsense ARMY MAN, he told me that the ARMY TOP BRASS support the GOVT but the lower ranking officers is WITH THE RAKYAT.His answer give me an uneasy feeling and kept me thinking the whole day on all the possible scenario if a RIOT occur on the street of KL.<br />
<br />
<p>As promised, I met up with my friends and I told them what my ARMY friend told me. I told them that it is very very difficult for a party that have ruled the country for more than 50 years to hand over power even if they LOST IN A DEMOCRATIC ELECTION.<br />
<br />
<P>So,I would not be surprised if there is RIOT in MALAYSIA SHOULD THE INEVITABLE HAPPEN.<br />
<br />
<p>Therefore, the ARMY IS THE KEY as they are the only people who will be able to maintain PEACE AND SECURITY in the country. I would not want what is currently happening in SYRIA to happen in our beautiful MALAYSIA and it is my fervent hope that the LOW RANKING ARMY OFFICERS WILL PROTECT THE RAKYAT AND MAINTAIN PEACE AND SECURITY SHOULD A RIOT CAUSE BY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAINTAIN POWER HAPPEN IN MALAYSIA.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-45181456941649687872012-04-28T19:31:00.001+08:002012-04-28T19:31:28.651+08:00BERSIH 3.0 - A SUCCESSI just came back from BERSIH 3.0 MARCH TO DATARAN MERDEKA FROM CENTRAL MARKET.<br />
<br />
<P>To get to Central Market is also an adventure. Initially, I intend to walk to Central Market from Brickfields<br />
but near Scott Road,they was a Police Block and even those on foot is not allow to walk to Central Market.<br />
<br />
<P>At 11am ,I told my despatch boy to give me a lift in his motorcycle to take me to the old railway station<br />
where a large group of people have already gathered outside Masjid Negara. From there, I wanted to walk on foot to <br />
Central Market through Dayabumi.On the way, I met 2 Young Man in yellow who told me they is a police block at Dayabumi.<br />
In the end, I troop back to the old railway station to go to Central Market.<br />
<br />
<P>Once I reached Central Market, I call my friend Tan but to my dismay, for my DIGI handphone,they is no line or coverage.<br />
I ask a few protestors and only Maxis have coverage while all the other line is OUT. At this time, they was around 2000 protestors outside Central Market and the PAS volunteer unit AMAL did a great job in controlling the crowd. At this moment,more people are coming by using the LRT Kelana Jaya line by stopping at PASAR SENI STATION. By 1pm, the crowd have increase to around<br />
10000 people.<br />
<br />
<p>Out of the blue,they is another group of protestors coming from Petaing Streets with half of them wearing green shirts protesting against the dumping of TOXIC WASTE IN LYNAS,PAHANG. This group was marching to Dataran Merdeka through Kotaraya but stop outside OCBC Bank Buliding because of police blockage. <br />
<br />
<P>At around 1.30pm, I was having a drink at my friend coffeeshop Lai Foong to quench my thirst and to relax after 2 hours of walk. <br />
<br />
<p>Suddenly, the group in Central Market starting marching to Dataran Merdeka through Jln Cheng Lock and walking pass the Old Maybank branch at Jln Bandar. I was marching in this group with former Perak MB Nizar who was carrying his little daughter in his shoulder surrounded by PAS volunteers from its AMAL unit. The procession came to a halt at Jln Tun Perak as the earlier group from Petaling Street have stop at Jln Tun Perak because of Police Blockage outside Masjid Jamek.<br />
<br />
<P>The crowd at this time is estimated to be around 30000 protestors and KL CITY have CAME TO A HALT.<br />
<br />
<P>I am a protestor because I want to protect and safeguard the future of our young generations of all races.<br />
<br />
<P>Today, I am very proud to be a ANAK BANGSA MALAYSIA as I saw Malaysian of ALL RACES taking part in this BERSIH MARCH to protest against the corruption of Umno and BN.<br />
<br />
<P>If we continue like this, MALAYSIA WILL HAVE GREAT FUTURE as malaysian of all races is able to COME TOGETHER TO SOLVE OUR NATIONAL PROBLEM.<br />

<p>During the early morning journey from his house in Cheras to Corus hotel, the traffic on that wednesday morning was heavy and he told me that MALAYSIAN ARE A HARDWORKING LOT as many of them are already on the road to their office.
<P>Based of this one factor, our country have a very good future as the people of Malaysia are not only hardworking but they are also clever people with great ideas and vision.
<p>Unfortunately, we have a CORRUPT GOVT LED BY UMNO WHO HAVE BEEN STEALING THE COUNTRY MONEY and as a result the Govt is currently BANKRUPT.
<p>Everytime when the govt is facing a financial crisis like in 1997, IT IS THE HARDWORKING PEOPLE or MALAYSIAN WHO PULL THE GOVT OUT OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.
<P>Currently,with the money in PETRONAS IS DRYING UP,THE GOVT IS USING THE PEOPLE EPF MONEY TO SOLVE ITS PROBLEM.This is another case of MALAYSIAN PULLING THE GOVT OUT OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.
<p>To prevent MALAYSIA from being another GREECE and to protect our future generation of all races,I urge all HARDWORKING MALAYSIAN TO REJECT UMNO and BN in the coming election.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-79598045594730733792012-03-10T14:42:00.009+08:002012-03-10T15:35:41.352+08:00Malaysia Oil ProductionMalaysia production of oil have improved tremendously.
<P>In a recent report by Petronas, Malaysia daily oil production is 1.5 Million barrels per day (BPD).
<p>The breakdown is as follows :-
<P>-----------------------------------------2012---------------------2011
<P>-----------------------------------------(BPD)--------------------(BPD)
<p>SABAH--------------------------------163,000---------------196,000
<p>SARAWAK----------------------------845,000---------------820,000
<p>PENINSULAR MALAYSIA---------520,000---------------580,000
<p>------------------------------------------------------------------
<p>---------------------TOTAL---------1,528,000-------------1,596,000
<p>-----------------------------------========---------------========
<p>Currently, the price of our oil TAPIS in the spot market is US $134 Per Barrel. The TAPIS is the most expensive oil in the world because it contain very little SULPHUR AND IT IS A VERY HIGH QUALITY OIL.
<p>At a CONSERVATIVE price of US $100 per barrel,the daily income from the oil is US $150 MILLION which is equivalent to RM 450 MILLION.
<p>Currently, Malaysia daily consumption of oil is 700,000 BPD and hence we have a daily surplus of 800,000 BPD.
<p>Therefore, the INCOME amount from being a daily net exporter of oil of 800,000 barrels at a price of US $134 is US 107 MILLION daily.
<p>If all this is taken into account,our petrol RON 95 should be RM 1 per liter.
<p>Due to massive corruption by Umno and BN,the money from oil export have gone missing.
<P>In order to protect our younger generation, in the coming election,we MUST VOTE AGAINST UMNO AND BN TO PREVENT THEM FROM DESTROYING MALAYSIA FURTHER.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-81783046987405010852012-02-28T12:45:00.005+08:002012-03-01T21:48:54.467+08:00EPFThe EMPLOYEES PROVIDENT FUNDS (EPF) currently manages RM 407 BILLION belonging to 12 millions members.
<P>As a EPF member, I am very worried of my savings as the govt is the using my money in the EPF TO SOLVE ITS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
<P>As every malaysian knows,currently the govt of Malaysia is BANKRUPT BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION BY UMNO and BN. It would not be long before our national oil company PETRONAS will be BANKRUPT like PERTAMINA.
<P>Recently,the govt ordered EPF to finance RM 1.5 BILLION for a housing project by the Ministry of Federal Territory for malaysians who are not qualify for bank loans to buy houses. This was announced by the Raja Nong Chik.
<P>This is a risky investment as the loan may go bad due to the poor financial background of the borrowers.
<P>I want to ask Nong Chik,why should EPF finance this project when Dewan Bandaraya KL can finance this project.The annual turnover for DBKL is around RM 11 BILLION.Where have this money gone?
<P>Therefore,it is time we amend the EPF ACT which will state clearly:-
<P>a) The type of investment it should invest.
<P>b) The type of project it should financed
<P>c) No govt influence in its decision to invest or not.
<P>Thus,we can ensure that all investment decisions made by EPF is tranparent and accountable to members like me.
<P>I am very worried because the govt is influencing EPF in its investment decision to benefit Umno and BN like what is currently happening in PETRONAS.
<P>The corrupt MOF II Yakob will able to influence EPF because his machai Shahril Reza is in EPF.
<P>To get rid of all this nonsense and to safeguard our EPF savings,we should change the govt in the next election.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-74080672665188711692012-01-21T22:03:00.002+08:002012-01-21T22:06:59.966+08:00Great Year of the DRAGON 2012I would like to wish all malaysian A GREAT YEAR OF THE DRAGON 2012 and MAY THE DRAGON PROTECT MALAYSIA FROM ALL NATURAL DISASTER AND BRING HAPPINESS TO ALL MALAYSIANS.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-67390747455480963322012-01-13T19:54:00.004+08:002012-01-14T10:06:17.061+08:00Why Anwar should not be finance minister if pakatan win.Anwar Ibrahim was the financed minister of Malaysia during the A,sia financial crisis in 1997.
<p>The crisis erupted because George Soros with the financial backing of the US Federal Reserve start "SHORTING" the ringgit. At that time,Malaysia have only US$ 20 BILLION in foreign reserves and this amount is insufficient to defend the ringgit.
<P>As a result,the economy of Malaysia collapsed and heading into depression.
<p>Under the keynesian economics theory,when the country economy is heading towards depression and collapsing,it is the duty of the govt to PUMP PRIME the economy by spending money on project like infrastructure and other developments projects in order to create jobs and business growth and the economy will expand through the MULTIPLIER EFFECT.
<p>This is due to the fact that foreign investment is non existent and Pump Priming is the only tool to get the economy going towards recovery.
<p>Instead of doing the above move,Our Friend Anwar do the opposite and introduced the followings measure:-
<P>1)Tightening and reduction in govt spending. THIS IS A STUPID MOVE as reduction of spending is a negative move that reduce economic activities which result in high unemployment with an increase in social problems.
<P>2)Anwar like to listen to advice from the Americans and all this advice is DETRIMENTAL to the economy of Malaysia as the americans want to use Anwar to control Malaysia economically and politically.
<p>3)Telling the Rakyat to tightened their belts by reducing personal spending and comsumption.This is a BODOH move by Anwar with the hope of KICKING OUT OLD MAN M as PM.
<p>I am not a fan of Orang Tua but I respect him as he was right to implement Capital Control to save Malaysia and also in sacking Anwar.
<P>I will be very worried if Anwar is the finance minister if Pakatan win the next election and I would prefer accountant Guan Eng to be the finance minister as he is known to be careful with the Rakyat money.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-67825217721652213662011-12-30T17:18:00.003+08:002011-12-30T17:22:02.817+08:00GREAT YEAR OF THE DRAGON 20122011 IS COMING TO AN END.

<p>My answer to his question is The RICHEST MAN in Malaysia Taib MAHMUD. When old man Dr M was the PM, the then MB of Selangor Mat "MIKE TYSON" Taib wanted to challenge Orang Tua for the UMNO presidency. To overcome Mike Tyson,Old Man appointed a private investigator(PI) from London to investigate Tyson.
<p>After 2 months,the Mat Salleh PI CAME BACK WITH A VERY THICK FILE which shocked old man.The reason the file is thick as it contain the information of 2 TAIBS because as far as the Mat Salleh is concerned Mat Taib and Taib Mahmud is the SAME person.Immediately,old man summoned Mike TYson to Putrajaya and from that moment Mike Tyson became a GOOD BOY to old man.
<p>As far as Taib Mahmud is concerned,he is only interested to stay forever as chief minister of Sarawak. Hence,he is not a threat to old man but orang tua know that he has a lot of cash.So,old man summoned him to putrajaya and ask him for a donation.Immediately,he made a personal donation of RM 400 million to UMNO with the condition that Umno do not go into Sarawak.In this coming election,I think he will come up with another RM 400 million to fight for the 31 parliament seats in Sarawak.It will not be a problem since his total assets is RM 4.6 BILLION and Najib need not finance BN Sarawak as along as he leave Taib alone.
<p>My last posting is an analysis of the amount contributed by the 40 companies to the UMNO election warchest and the total amount came to a staggering RM 790 MILLION.
<P>The above amount does not include the warchest of other BN component parties such as Parti Pesaka Bumiputra (PBB),MCA,MIC and other parties. We assume that the total amount of all the other parties is RM 100 million.
<P>Therefore,the total of all BN funding is as folows:- RM (Million)
<p>1) UMNO----------------------------------------------790
<p>2) PBB Sarawak---------------------------------------400
<p>3) Other BN parties----------------------------------100
<p>--------------Total-----------------------------------1,290
<p>With a total election fund of close to RM 1.3 Billion, it will be hard to beat BN in the election.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-73177649916346252992011-12-04T18:39:00.032+08:002011-12-05T23:31:38.445+08:00UMNO ELECTION WARCHESTToday,we discuss an interesting topic that is the Umno warchest in the coming 13th General Election.
<p>In 1984,I was a young man working for Hanafiah,Raslan & Mohamad (HRM) who was the auditors for Bank Bumiputra (BBMB). During the course of the audit,I found out that before any general election, BBMB will donate RM 5 Million to the Umno election fund.
<p>Before he died in the helicopter crash in Trengganu,the late Yahya Ahmad of DRB donated RM50 million to the warchest of Umno.
<P>A lot of people is expecting an opposition win in the coming election but in my opinion it is not easy to beat Umno in the coming election due to the huge warchest that it has because of the contribution from the private sector and the GLCs.
<p>I have chosen only 40 companies who I think will contribute towards the Umno election fund and most of this companies are listed in Bursa Malaysia.The followings are the companies and the amount that I think they will contribute:-

<p>------------------------TOTAL----------------------------790
<p>============================================================
<p>The total of RM790 Millions is a conservative number and it does not
include other donations especially from small businesses.
<p>Playing politics is like playing POKER in that the person with the most cash will always win.With RM 790 MILLION,it will be difficult for Umno to lose in the election.
<P>Personally,in order to secure the future of our younger generation,I hope Parti CURI Umno will lose in the next election but with the warchest that it has,it will be difficult for Pakatan Rakyat to win.
<p>Even if Umno loses,it will not let go of the power it has easily, as I belief,SOME PEOPLE WILL CREATE RIOT IN ORDER TO RETAIN ITS POWER THROUGH THE EMERGENCY ACT.

<p>So,last tuesday 22nd November,after years of waiting,Elton John finally performed in Malaysia by playing to a full house at Genting Highlands.
<P>As usual,I bought the cheapest ticket which is RM 380 and this money of mine is well spent when you see the Rocketman sing Sad Song,Candle in the Wind,Daniel,Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,Sacrifices,That why they call it the blues and lastly,Crocodile Rock.
<p>After Crocodile Rock ,he went backstage but was coaxed by the applause of the fans and he came onstage again to sing Circle of life and Lion KING.
<P>I have a very good and enjoyable evening and I hope the rocketman will come back to perform again in Malaysia.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-64323463891959327782011-11-16T19:49:00.003+08:002011-11-16T20:50:03.865+08:00MAKAN dan MINUMToday,for a change,we get away from politics and we discuss about food,that is the food we MAKAN and MINUM.
<p>The favourite sports and pastime for malaysians today is not football,hockey,sepak takraw or badminton BUT MAKAN dan MINUM.
<P>That is why we have a lot of malaysian especially the young who are having at least one of this so called EMPAT SEKAWAN DISEASES :-
<P>1) High blood pressure
<p>2) Diabetes
<p>3) High Cholesterol
<p>4) Heart Problems
<p>Nowadays,it is not unusual to hear of teenagers
who have diabetes and high blood pressure because young people like them like to patronise fast food outlets where the food that is served is unhealthy and fattening which leads to all this sickness.
<p>In order to avoid all this problems,we must discourage our younger generation fron being fascinated by this fast food circus and we must encourage them to exercise frequently in order to ensure that they stay healthy.
<p>If this trend continues, Malaysia will have a lot of problems in the future in that beside having a sick workforce,we have to incur substantial amount of money to treat them. In the end,we will have a lot of economic problems.
<P>We must also discourage our young people FROM SITTING TOO LONG IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER as this will make them lazy to exercise.Together with the food they take while playing the computer,no wonder most of our young people are getting fatter and fatter.
<p>To all the readers of this blog,please encourage your children to exercise.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-91442358550035051432011-11-05T19:18:00.006+08:002011-11-07T20:35:02.245+08:00WHY THE GOVT OF MALAYSIA IS BANKRUPTThe Auditor General(AG) Report 2010 concluded that the current national debts of Malaysia is RM 407 BILLIONS which is 53% of the Gross National Product (GDP).
<p>Under the loan and investment Act,the maximum amount of govt debt is 55% of the GDP.In fact every malaysian share of the govt debts is RM 15,074.
<P>The AG report state that the govt have a big deficit in its accounts because the following reasons ;-
<p>1) Wastage
<p>2) Mismanagement
<p>3) Overspending for not doing market research.
<P>All the above reasons are BULLSHIT.The real reasons for all this is CORRUPTION.
<P>The National Space Centre spend RM67.7 Million on Hi-Tech equipment and this equipment is lying in the store with its packing intact.
<P>The National Sports Institute spend RM 5.66 Million on 23 horses without the approval of the ministry and this horses did not qualify for the World Endurance Championship.
<p>The Marine Park Dept spend RM 56250 on a pair of night vision binocular when the market price for it is only RM 1940.
<p>The govt bought 150kg of sugar for RM 25,500 for a price of RM 170 PER KG. I imagine this sugar must have some magic in it.
<p>The way this govt is running the country,we are the GREECE OF ASIA as the amount of debts incurred by this govt have already made us bankrupt.
<P>I just mentioned a few corrupt practices as they are too many to mention as this govt is willing to bankrupt Malaysia in order to MAINTAIN POWER.
<p>Therefore,to overcome this problem and to prevent Malaysia as the GREECE OF ASIA,WE THE RAKYAT MUST CHANGE THE GOVT IN NEXT ELECTION.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-13549847125018784372011-10-07T23:01:00.004+08:002011-10-09T22:11:24.285+08:00Budget 2012 - An Election budgetToday,the PM Najib unveiled the budget for 2012.If you study the budget closely,it shows that a general election is coming soon in Malaysia where the PM is seeking a new mandate for his leadership in Malaysia.
<p>In this budget,they will be a half month bonus for all civil servants together RM500 for all pensioners. In addition,all household with a monthly income below
Rm3000 will also received a one off payment oF RM500.
<P>All this goodies point to one thing.That thing is call GENERAL ELECTION. In all fairness,Najib is working hard to gain support for Umno but unfortunately he is the only one working very hard unlike the rest of Umno and BN who are BUSY making BIG money by "RASUAH" the Rakyat money.
<P>Najib is alone working very hard to win back the Rakyat support by giving financial assistance to all races such as giving funding for the construction of Chinese and Tamil schools. He knows that Umno days are numbered and in order to survive,he is giving all this goodies to the rakyat.
<p>Thus,he hope that all his hard work will be translated to votes for Umno and Bn in the coming electio which should be held during the year end school holidays.
Unfortunately,his hard work is not supported by his cabinet ministers.
<p>For the 1st time ,I agree with Najib that it is better to give the money to the Rakyat rather than it being "RASUAH" by A CANCER PARTY called UMNO.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-52466011340644123102011-09-10T00:26:00.003+08:002011-09-10T01:03:52.918+08:00QPR - TONY FERNANDES GREATEST MISTAKE.In 2009,I wrote an article on this blog Entitled Newcastle - ANANDA KRISHNAN GREATEST MISTAKE in which Ananda Krishnan was supposed to takeover Newcastle and this deal was subsequently aborted.
<P>I respect Tony for the way he run Air Asia(AA) and I congratulate him for the success of AA.In fact,I fully supported the way he run AA with its LOW FARES which enable everybody can fly.If I am in a position of power,I would merge AA with MAS and let Tony and his team run the airline company.
<p>I hope Tony together with his AA director Kamaruddin Meranun and Westport Ruben Gnanalingam will succeed in this football venture of buying London football club Queen Park Rangers(QRP).
<P>They further command my respect because immediately after taking over from F1 Bernie for Pound Sterling 35 million,they inject funds to QPR and bought Anton Ferdinand,Shaun Phllips,Armand Troare and Joey Barton to strengthen the team.
<P>I have nothing against Tony and his team but I THINK THEY WILL FAIL in this venture because of the following reasons:-
<p>1). Running a football club is different from running AA or Tune Hotel as the success of a football club depend on the performance of the 11 players in the field.If the 11 players play badly,QPR will be like Blackpool who was demoted after just one season in the premiership.
<P>2). Even with the acquisition of the 4 players mentioned above,they is still insufficient quality and strength in depth in the team to sustain a full season in the premiership.It is likely that QRP will have to fight against RELEGATION towards the end of the season.
<P>3).The wages of the players MAKE UP 70% of the total operation cost of the club.
Thus,only Manchester United make profit from operation while the rest of the clubs MAKE LOSSES especially Chelsea and MAN CITY whose PLAYERS WAGES IS MORE THAN ITS ANNUAL REVENUE.Therefore,if this 2 clubs do not have RICH OWNERS,They would have BANKRUPT long ago.
<P>4).No investors have make money from football except for Thailand Thaksin when he sold CITY to Abu Dhabi.Look at the amount of money Roman Abarmovich spend on Chelsea and the amount Al fayed invested and loss in Fulham.
<P>The above is the reasons on why Tony and his team will make its GREATEST MISTAKE and FAIL in London.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-16208351080015970762011-08-30T19:26:00.002+08:002011-08-30T19:28:25.120+08:00Selamat Hariraya and Selamat MerdekaI would like to wish all my muslim friends Selamat Hariraya and to all malaysian Selamat MERDEKA.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-51488304746083519682011-07-20T22:49:00.004+08:002011-07-20T23:20:37.189+08:00Veteran RTM football commentator Aziz IbrahimI would like to ask the readers of this blog this question. Can you remember the last and final time an English FA Cup Final being carried live by RTM Channel 1 and the commentary of this cup final match is in Bahasa Malaysia?
<p>Yes,that was in 1977 and it was a very long 34 years ago and the commentator for this match is an old timer by the name of Aziz Ibrahim. That cup final match in 1977
at the old Wembley is between Manchester United and Liverpool in which United won 2-1
<P>The first time I met Aziz was at the AGM of Nestle Bhd in which he was the head of Public Relation of Nestle and I am a small shareholder and it was in the early nineties.
<P>On Tuesday 19th July,I went to the office of water service provider Syabas at Jalan Pantai Baru to seek clarification and explanation as to why Syabas charge me Commercial Rate on my water bill when I am staying on the 4th floor of a shophouse.
The answer given by Syabas customer service is that they follow the zoning of DBKL which state that any property which is on top of any shophouse is considered as commercial property even though that property is a family house.
<p>When I was looking for a parking space I saw Aziz and called him. The first thing I ask him is what he has been doing since retirement from Nestle and he said that he is in permanent retirement. Immediately,I ask when was the last time he was doing a Bahasa Malaysia commentary in an English FA Cup Final at Wembley?
<p> His answer is 1977, a very very long time ago.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-54872309092785991822011-07-02T21:51:00.004+08:002011-07-02T22:16:12.984+08:00Burma or MyanmarToday, I will blog about Burma or Myanmar.As all of you know,Burma is under the control of a military govt where the general and his fellow army officers who run the country have only FORM 5 level of education.
<p>I wanted to write this article a long time ago but the inspiration to write on this came when Hongkong actress Michelle Yeoh was BAR from entering Myanmar.The burmese govt bar her because the govt was suspicious that Michelle is giving Money to Aung San Su Chi in order for Su Chi to fund her political activities.
<p>As far as I am concern,the people of Burma are all coward as they do not have the guts to form an army to overthrow the govt.All the burmese have done is to leave Burma and go to Malaysia to work illegally.
<p>The burmese people especially the young future generation is going to suffer for a long time because the present generation is not willing to sacrifice themselves for thr good of the future.
<p>In order to overthrow the govt and secure a better future for the next generation,the present burmese must form an army and must be willing to sacrifice themselves as alot of people will die in a civil war to kick out the present oppressive regime.
<p>Unfortunately,this is not happening as all the burmese are having a good life in Malaysia. In downtown Kuala Lumpur,the Burmese are no longer working for their boss in the Char Kway Teow,Wantan Mee or Laksa stalls but are instead the Boss of all this food stalls as they rent the stalls from the chinese owner.
<p>Thus ,with such good life and having a business,this burmese will not go home to fight the militery govt and Myanmar will be continue to suffer as the military regime is going to rule for a long time.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-43944449841780552202011-06-09T23:11:00.010+08:002011-06-09T23:56:40.152+08:00FranchisingToday,I would like to talk about Franchise. Franchising is the Practice of using another person firm SUCCESSFUL business model.
<p>Today in Malaysia,they is a lot of successful franchise business and to acquire the franchise from the original owner is not cheap.The franchise business is such that if the business is good ,the payback period for the capital investment could be in 6 months but if the business is bad,the person who took the franchise could lose millions in a few months.
<p>Example of franchise business together with the initial capital investment(ICI) and the monthly royalties which is a percentage of the gross revenue (GR) is as follows:-
<p>Name--------Business-----------------ICI----------Royalties % of GR
<P>1.Overtime----PUB------------------1,000,000------10%
<p>2.Papa Rich---Cafe------------------1,000,000------8%
<p>3.OldTown-----Cafe--------------------850,000------8%
<P>4.Station ONE-Cafe--------------------550,000------6%
<p>5.7 ELEVEN----Convenient Store---250,000------5%
<p>6.Macdonalds--Fast Food-----------3,500,000-----RM 12,000 per month.
<p>In addition,the Franchise owner will supply all the goods and services that are needed by the outlet as stated in the franchise agreement.The franchise owner will provide training to the outlet owner and staff before operation begins.
<p>Recently,I attended the opening ceremony of the new Overtime pub at Tesco Scott Garden at Old Klang Road. Business was so good that the pub ran out of the Starker beer by 11pm and they have to request for the beer from Overtime in Puchong.In fact,the owner who is my friend told me to stop ordering beer in order to allow his other friends and associates who came late to order the beer.
<p>It is estimated that if the business is good and consistent,this pub will BREAK EVEN WITHIN 6 months and after that it is home run all the way.
<p>By the way,most of this franchise outlet is always located in the corner of any place as this business require a big and visible place.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-67899142458636135712011-05-22T20:15:00.024+08:002011-05-22T21:16:46.857+08:00No reason to increase RON 95 PRICEAs we all know ,the govt of Malaysia is BANKRUPT because of MASSIVE CORRUPTION by UMNO and BN.
<P>Currently,we are in a situation where the govt have no more money to pay sudsidy in order keep the prices of petrol low. Come June 1st,after a 6 months rest,the govt will review the price of petrol RON 95 which is currently price at RM1.90 per liter.
As such, the govt have been telling the RAKYAT to prepare for an increase in RON 95 price. Recently,the RAKYAT have to bear the price increase of essentials items like sugar and cooking oil.
<p>The govt do not have a good reason to increase the price of RON 95 because of the following reasons :-
<P>1) Malaysia (NOT PETRONAS) is a NET OIL EXPORTER with a DAILY SURPLUS OF 45000 BARREL PER DAY (BPD)
<p>--------------------------2011
<p>--------------------------BPD
<P>Daily Production-----600,000
<p>Daily Consumption---555,000
<P>Daily Surplus-----------45,000
<p>2) Our oil TAPIS is the best quality oil because it have very little sulphur content and it is the MOST EXPENSIVE OIL in the world. We sell our TAPIS to the world but we import Cheap oil from the ARAB world and thus Malaysia profit from this arrangement.
<p> If the price of RON 95 is increase, it will cause an increase in the cost of living for the RAKYAT as transportation cost increase, the transporter will pass the price increase to the consumer to protect their profit margin.
<p>As explained,the govt have NO REASON to increase RON 95 price but it will do so because the govt is BANKRUPT and cannot pay the subsidy to the oil companies like Shell and ESSO.Hence,the RAKYAT is the VICTIM of CORRUPTION by UMNO and BN.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441335674307547489.post-62178077785570538642011-05-20T22:15:00.003+08:002011-05-20T22:32:49.659+08:00Congratulation to Bank Negara Governor Zeti.I was watching the news just now and I was very happy when the news reader over at Astro Awani said that Bank Negara Governor DR Zeti was nominated for the post of Chief Executive officer of the Internationa Monetary Fund (IMF).
<P>The CEO position in the IMF is vacant following the resignation of Strauss Kahn who is being charged for sexual assault on a young maid of the SOFITEL Hotel in New York.
<p>Dr Zeti have done a fantastic job in the running of our central bank BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA.As such she deserve to be nominated to the top position of the IMF.
<p>I sincerely hope that if they is a contest for the top IMF post,I hope that Dr Zeti will win and become the 1st asian to helm the IMF.
<P>Congratulations to Dr Zeti and it is the 1st time that the IMF id not control by the West.George Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913781793420734784noreply@blogger.com1
