Congratulation Jimmy Choo as Tourism Ambassador

I would like to congratulate Jimmy Choo for being conferred as the tourism ambassador of Malaysia. Being a malaysian and a wealthy person, I hope that Jimmy will do Malaysia a favour by carrying out the duties of tourism ambassador for FREE. This is unlike a former manager of a F1 team who was paid RM 1 miilion BUTA GAJI for doing nothing as the tourism ambassador of Malaysia. This french man was appointed by a LESBIAN former Tourism Minister on the insistence of Pak Lah who is the worst PM in the history of Malaysia . This is due to the fact that the frenchman is one of Pak Lah best friend and in the end,Rm 1 million of taxpayers money was wasted by the tourism ministry. With his connections and reputation, I strongly belief that Jimmy will be able to promote our tourism to the world in an effective manner than what has been done previously.In fact,Jimmy would be a better tourism ambassador of Malaysia than "HONGKONG ACTRESS MICHELLE YEOH".

MALAYSIA save MANCHESTER UNITED

When Al Qaida malaysian bomber Nordin Mohd Top sent his man to bomb the JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton in Jakarta, his TARGET was the WHOLE TEAM of MANCHESTER UNITED. Fortunately,when the suicide bomb went off on friday morning 17 th July, Alex Ferguson and MU was on the way to KL from Hongkong. Luckily, the promoter arranged United to begin Malaysia first instead of Indonesia. If the arrangement of playing is to begin in Indonesia,the MU team was supposed to stay at the Ritz Carlton which was targeted by Nordin Top who learn his trade from Master Degree holder Dr Azahari Hussin of the University of Reading in the UK. United was supposed to play in Indonesia on Monday 20th July but the bomb went off 2 days earlier. Thus,it is a blessing for United to begin their Far East tour in KL and therefore,MALAYSIA SAVE MANCHESTER UNITED.

NEWCASTLE - ANANDA GREATEST MISTAKE

The latest news from the UK is that ANANDA KRISHNAN will takeover Newcastle United from Mike Ashley for 80 Million Pounds. In addition, he will take responsible for the club bank overdraft of 40 Million Pounds. Beside paying for the shares and taking over the liabilities of the club, Ananda have to pump in funds for the club to buy players to strengthen the team in order to help Newcastle to promote to the Premier League. I have a lot of respect for Ananda for the successes that he have achieved in Malaysia but I strongly belief that he will FAIL in this venture of returning GLORY to St James Park because of the following reasons:- Firstly, running a football club is different from running businesses like Maxis, Astro or Pan Malaysian Pool as the success of the club depended mainly on the 11 players in the football field. Even the Billions he has will not be sufficient if the 11 players on the field perform badly which will result in Newcastle not gaining promotion to the premiership.Remember Sir Jack Hayward ,despite investing millions in WOLVES,Wolverhampton Wanderers did not gain promotion during his time which is the same as Nigel Pickering who spend millions in Derby County without success in the English Championship which equivalent to division 2 under the old system.Just look at Harrods Al - Fayed,who have invested a least 1 Billion Pounds in Fulham and after so many years, Fulham have not won the premiership but every year have been fighting against relegation except for 2008/09 season. Secondly,if you look at the Newcastle squad,they is no quality in the team except for Damien Duff.The rest of the team memebers are just ordinary players and this bunch will not be able to carry the team to the premiership. Thirdly, most the teams members are not committed players except for Butt,Martins,Bassong,Duff,Harper,Beye and the 2 Taylors.With the majority of the team members are not committed,this spell disaster. Fourthly,all the players are on High Premiership Wages. With Newcastle in the Championship,the revenue from TV ,Sponsorship and tickets collection will be reduced and this will not be able to cover the wage bill of the players.This is financially disturbing. Fifthly,the timing of the takeover is late as the league championship is starting soon and this do not provide Newcastle enough time to recruit good quality players as many good players are sign by other clubs. In addition,they is no due diligent being carry out as the takeover is late as the season is starting soon and it would not be surprised if they are a lot of unrecorded and contingent liabilities together with huge capital commitments which are not included in the accounts of Newcastle. Finally, I hope that what I explained above is wrong but I am very confident that I am RIGHT. I certainly hope that Ananda Krishnan will proof me wrong and I wish him good luck.

TIME UP FOR HASSAN MERICAN AT PETRONAS

The latest news is that Petronas Chairman and CEO Hassan will be replaced by the CEO of FELDA. This is due to the fact that he does not see eye to eye with PM Najib on the rejection of Omar Ong to become a director of Petronas. As Petronas is directly under the PM dept, Najib can decide who should be Chairman and CEO of Petronas. It is rumour that Hassan contract with Petronas which expire in February 2010 will not be renewed and this pave the way for Syed Hamid to become Chairman and the Felda CEO to be CEO of Petronas. Hassan joined Petronas in the eighties as Vice President Finance on the insistence of Tan Sri Basir who was Chairman of Petronas and Bank Bumiputra. From there,he rose to his current position and he collaborated well with late Tan Sri Azizan and together they bulit up Petronas to become a Fortune 500 company. The only thing PAK LAH, THE WORST PM of Malaysia DID CORRECTLY during his time as PM was to leave Petronas alone and with the fantastic result Petronas is producing,it would be advisable for Najib to do the same thing. Given the politics in Malaysia, it would not be a surprise if Najib give Hassan a RED CARD before February 2010.

LOT 10,STARHILL & PAVILION HAVING BAD TIME

Yesterday,I went to Bukit Bintang to celebrate the birthday of my sister Choo Sooi Har. It has been a few months since my last visit there. At 7 in the evening, I went to LOT 10, to my surprise,they were very few shoppers out there especially during this supposedly peak hours. Next ,I visited Starhill, as usual there is very few shoppers which is of no surprise as this dept store sell very expensive items. From there, I went to Pavilion,the crowd was moderate but my observation at 7.30 p.m. shows that most people are window shopping. At Bintang Walk,3 or 4 food and beverages outlet have been closed for sometime. Even the restaurant which we celebrate my sis birthday party at Level 6 of the Pavilion is having a tough time because our party was the only customer of the food outlet on a Sunday Evening. After dinner at 10p.m. I walk to Bukit Bintang Plaza,the food outlet outside BB plaza was crowded and business there was good. So,there is the two side of Bukit Bintang that I found out and I can safely conclude that Lot 10, Starhill and Pavilion is having a tough time during this RECESSION which I confirmed to all the readers of this blog on my posting on 13th November 2008.
