Merry x mas to all...
Nowadays, more and more companies implement CSR initiatives and one of them is my wife BPO company (wife dont want me to mention the Co name)
My wife works there as one of the 'key' and most VIP women there... (hehe over proud husband).
Every festive season a bunch of them will go visit some orphans, etc to spend time with them and give them presents... oh yeah its part of their KPIs... sheesh!
Well the thought that counts:)
This x mas they went to one of the homes in Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya that provide CARE to the elderly, physically challenged people and under priviledge kids.
My wife, Miss Renuka Shanmugam and her colleagues went as early as 8.30am to the centre and spend half a day chatting and just being with 'them' in the spirit of x mas.. (and maybe even for the KPIs)...
But ofcoz after a few hours spending time there Renuka and some of her friends cant stand and keep on crying after the officers there shared some of the 'stories' of the humans who have been staying there either by force or by 'chance'!
Renu cried expecially she saw a cute baby that was given away to the centre... the mother was a foreigner and had an affair with another foreigner and both 'parents' do not want the child for reasons of their own selfish thinking! Renu keep on sharing with me her 'experience' at the centre and i cant help thinking how much my 'baby' have matured and now CARE about 'strangers'! Im so very proud of her spending almost a whole day with 'them' instead of 24 7 worrying about her datelines in her projects at the Company...
But one of the thing that she told me is that the centre did not receive any support financially from the government except for some so called 'moral support' or what ever that means!
I still dont understand WHY the government not supporting them!
I told my wife that i will go there next week and 'interview' the centre manager for more inputs and i will find out more details and help them get somethings from the gov. InsyAllah..
merry x mas:)

GTP and the Driver's (PEMANDU) Driver!
The 1Malaysia Government Transformation Programme (GTP) Roadmap will be launched at the end of next month.
Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) will 'release' the roadmap on Pemandu's website after getting feedback from the public on new ideas or conditions that the government was not aware of.... or 'blur' with!
Over 7,000 nationwide activities along with over 2,000 projects and 100 programmes identified for the six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) are being showcased to the public at the GTP Open Day at the Sunway Convention Centre. The 1st day was dedicated ONLY to 'invited' NGOs and guest and the 2nd day for Rakyat!
I went for the 1st day as a 'gate crasher' and the 2nd day as an 'observer'.
First of all i dont undertand why the driver's driver or the CEO of PEMANDU descriminate the Rakyat by having the 'special' invitation NGOs and guest on the first day and the 'normal' public on the second day! i mean here we are on the spirit of 1 Malaysia and opennes bla bla bla and the first thing u do is to seperate the days by the invited guest and the tom dick and harry of malaysia!
There was a lot of public walk-ins anyways as there was no restrictions to enter the hall! so whats the point of having 2 seperate invitations where they should have simply a 2 Open day event for rakyat!
Back to the 1st day:
I was 'wearing two hats' that day... one: activist mindset for the elderly and the physically challenge community (Malaysian gov like to labeled them as OKU).... two:activist mindset to combat crime!
After a big launch done by a few VIPs (including ofcourse the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department and Chairman of pemandu, Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon; Chief Executive Officer of the Pemandu Board, Datuk Seri Idris Jala, and former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) i met the CEO and express my dissapointments to what have been missed by the think tank of the GTP.... there is no main agenda to make this country a dissabled friendly nation. ie the transportation masterplan did not include for malaysian public transport to be dissabled friendly and yet more 'so call smart card system' is being proposed, etc..
Of coz the think tank of GTP will defend by saying that the plan today may have certain imperfections which will need amendments.... BUT my point is that to CARE for the elderly and the physically challenge community is not a rocket science for it not to be included and displayed on the first place!
2nd day:
I saw lots of bloggers, media and general public were there and nice of the CEO to give unexpected impromtu speech. I might say it was good and full of sincerity in his face!
But one thing for sure ... sincerity and good intention alone without a good master plan and a good implementation process is just simply an empty hope!
So lets work together to make Malaysia the best country for our own sake!

Malaysia Government Best Practices Version 2.0
"The Government is willing to be evaluated" the Prime Minister said.
The six NKRAs — reducing crime, fighting corruption, widening access to affordable and quality education, raising the living standards of the poor, and improving infrastructure and public transportation — were announced in July -09.
(more stories do go to http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/12/14/nation/5299146&sec=nation)
To gets things done is frankly as simple as repairing roads, etc..
Below are simple solutions for the 6 major elements of CHANGE:
No.1 Reducing Crimes:
a. patrol police officers to be on alert for robbers and snatchers instead of 'traffic offenders'!
b. more pondok police with police officers in it and not just empty pondok!
c. snathers/robbers to be lock up and not able for easy release by the police stations
Note: is personal now as my wife was rob at a traffic light near one utama! the robbers smash her passesnger car window and took the handbag and tried to get in but my wife accelerated and hit a car infront coz the robber to panic and fled)
anyway..
No.2 Fighting Corruption:
yeah rite! nice try
No.3 Widening access to affordable and quality education:
gov have done good by no more fees and text books is free now...
on the quality of our education systems... a serious study need to be done to develop a ONE unique and yet best education system for malaysian young to be ready for globalisation!
No.4 Raising the living standards of the poor:
For goodness sake we have wasted enough of tax payers money by doing stupid things ie spending hundred of millions on sporting events, etc
Its time to set up a Social Resposible UNIT in all government link companies and start implementing good programms for the less fortunate...
teaching on survival independence is always better than just giving money and rice!
No.5 Improving infrastructure:
maintain ... maintain!
No.6 Improving Public transportation:
PLEASE CARE FOR THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED HUMAN BEINGS (malaysian gov like to label as OKU)
so now ... what more waiting...start doing something and stop being consultants with good slides only!

The 'Untouchable'
You might be thinking that I am writing about the movie or some corporate or even political society... nothing close!
I was in bahrain last few weeks ago and was watching the National Geographic in my hotel room and the documentary on them and program was titled The ‘untouchables’.
They are the poorest the low caste society in India and they are labeled, the ‘untouchables’... they work as labourer either in the construction site, mines or at the padi fields.
National Geographic interviewed one of them, Mr. Krishnan.
Krishnan is a 56 years old man and a family man. He live in a small old hut with his wife and his 4 kids. His job is at the padi field as a rat hunter!
The sad part of his job is that he have been a rat hunter for all his life (since he was 5 years old). All of them been eating rat to survive as they only get so little money for the job for a living. In fact few of his neighbour who also shares the same fate as him also eat rat as they is no way for them to buy chicken, etc in the market.
They will catch the rat and burn them and once the fur easy to be taken out then they will cut it like a chicken and cooked it with curry and eat with rice that been donated to them.
Even his 4 yrs old gdaughter eating it happily as she might think that that’s the only thing (meat) available in this world.
I felt very sad helplessly in my hotel room to see all this unbalanced world as we have human being who live like this and we have humans who lives in richness and fame...
But one thing that i dont understand is that why cant anyone help this people by teaching them on how to plant some vegetables and give them small piece of land near their huts so that they can eat that as its better than eating rats!
I remembered watching one program in TV3 (i think its called bersama mu or something) where there is one family in one of the states in malaysia eating snails for a living coz of their poor living conditions. I mean we are talking about Malaysia here! But ofcourse the 'bersama mu' team give them food and money.. BUT they should have teach them on how to plant vegetables instead of giving rice and money that will not last!
This is one of the thing that make me think that why cant all of us bring some balance so that the big rich and famous human beings realize that there is no balance and theres is suffereings all around us!
Hopefully one by one will start to share some of their wealth and give directly to this people some good alternative way of surviving by giving them basic training on how to farm with a small piece of land near their huts to start with! or even
work by giving some livestock or something as I believe if there is a will theres always a way do it!

BUN the Malaysian HERO in Games Industry
Im in Dubai now doing some 're branding' project for Study in Malaysia and incharge of Malaysia Pavillion at GETEX autum 2009 at the dubai world trade centre from 27-29 October 2009.(doing same thing at Bahrain and Jordon, back-to-back)
Next to the exhibition hall was dubai world game expo.
When i walk in I was so supprise to see the exhibitors... nothing like what i saw in Malaysia or even korea fairs as they focus too much on selling games, etc and sexy games characters (not that im complaining). The fairs is so much on CONTENT!
But one major booth that make me feel proud (not as malaysian but as human living in developing county) is that there s an IRAN Paviliion and hosted by IRAN NATIONAL FOUNDATION OF COMPUTER GAMES!!!
www.ircg.ir
I mean we talking bout iran here! to compare with Malaysia who started the most proud MSC and where we are now?!
I took the liberty to go to the booth and look for the person behind this sincere initiative to help building this 'future business' in a country such as IRAN for the youth and future leaders. Waited for 30min for him as he went for prayers but its all worth it...
His name is Behrouz Minaei PhD and he is the MD for eGame National Foundation of Iran
He shared with me his vision, story and journey for him to convince the Government togethr with his team and made it happen. When i ask him what drives him to do all this, and to my supprise he says " i remember few years ago i attended a talk by yr previous PM, Mahathir Mohamad and in his speech he says 'if you have the will, you can do it...Malaysia Boleh! and since then i told my self that i 'boleh' (i can) and IRAN boleh... the rest is history my brother", he explained while still looking whether am i a reporter from Malaysia or not!
I congratulate him and his team again for a job well done!
A good friend and a bro of mine is into this games business for more than 15 yrs, same time as me when i started my conference business. But this guy is the PIONEER in the games industry in Malaysia... and his name is BUN (real name too boring:))
BUN is a nice humble yet firm chap!
BUN have been thru a tough journey in his life to make 'them' understand how current and important the games industry to the country...
I called him and straight told him bout my 'discovery' and told him that when i get back to Malaysia in 2 weeks time... i will do my very best to help him on his quest to develop the games industry in malaysia so that Malaysia can be the hub for the asian countries and soon a leader in games development industry! Insyaallah!
BUN lets do this and form THE MALAYSIAN FOUNDATION OF COMPUTER GAMES and make Malaysia as one of the world leader in computer games industry!

Merdeka! Merdeka.... Merdeka?
Malaysia Happy 52nd Independence Birthday was on 31 August 2009
Some how the 'mood' of merdeka was not felt this year...
Why?
Well i guess lots of things been hapening in Malaysia and around the world...
Humans rather think about 'surviving' the world economic crisis and also other domestic issues...
When a Nation celebrates its independence day does the government or the citizen of that particular Nation are all independent.... are they all Okay? i mean do they all got money? to they got money problem till they cant buy any food to eat? do they all have shelter? all taken care off?
Well the answer to this question is simple... "NOT ALL...."
The real question is "WHO CARES?"
Who should care for them?
Any ways... this is what wikipedia :) got to say about Merdeka...
"Merdeka is a word in the Malay language meaning independence. It is derived from a Sanskrit word used to designate former Portuguese and Dutch slaves from India in the East Indies, whence the Malay meaning of "free(dom)" is derived. The term was significant during the anticolonialist and pro-independence movements of the colonies of Malaya, Singapore and Indonesia, in the history of Malaysia, the history of Singapore and in the history of Indonesia. It became a battle-cry for those demanding independence from the colonial administrations of the United Kingdom and Netherlands."
Hari Merdeka (Independence Day) is a national day of Malaysia commemorating the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule, celebrated on August 31. In a wider context, it is to celebrate the formation of Malaysia.
Malaya Independence
The effort for independence was spearheaded by Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, who led a delegation of ministers and political leaders of Malaya in negotiations with the British in London for Merdeka, or independence along with the first president of the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock and fifth President of Malaysian Indian Congress Tun V.T. Sambanthan. Once it became increasingly clear that the Communist threat posed during the Malayan Emergency was petering out, agreement was reached on February 8, 1956, for Malaya to gain independence from the British Empire. However, for a number of logistical and administrative reasons, it was decided that the official proclamation of independence would only be made the next year, on August 31, 1957, at Stadium Merdeka (Independence Stadium), in Kuala Lumpur.
The formation of Malaysia
The Federation of Malaysia, comprising the States of Malaya, North Borneo (later renamed Sabah), Sarawak and Singapore was to be officially declared on the date August 31, 1963, on the 6th anniversary of Malayan independence. However, it was postponed to September 16, 1963, mainly due to Indonesian and the Philippines' opposition to the formation of Malaysia. Nevertheless, North Borneo and Singapore declared sovereignty on August 31, 1963. Indonesian opposition later escalated to a military conflict. Indonesia considered Malaysia as a new form of colonization on the provinces of Sarawak and Sabah in the island of Borneo (bordering Kalimantan, Indonesia), which they laid claim on.[citation needed] To assure Indonesia that Malaysia was not a form of neo-colonialism, a referendum, organized by the United Nations, and the Cobbold Commission, led by Lord Cobbold, were formed to determine whether the people of Sabah and Sarawak wished to join Malaysia. Their eventual findings which indicated substantial support for Malaysia among the peoples of Sabah and Sarawak, cleared the way for the final proclamation of Malaysia.
Do you know that when Malaya celebrated its first Independence Day, new hotels were built everywhere in Kuala Lumpur to accommodate the huge foreign delegation invited by the Government of the Federation of Malaya to witness the historical day.
The historical event was captured by Malayan Film Unit (google them), below are the recorded arrival of the guest of honour.
The first batch of foreign representatives to Malaya were:
- King and Queen of Thailand
- Crown Prince and Princess of Japan
- Johannes Gerhardus Strijdom, Prime Minister of South Africa
- Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of India
- Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, Prime Minister of Pakistan
- Pham Van Dong, Prime Minister of Vietnam
- Solomon Bandaranaike, Prime Minister of Ceylon
- U Nu, Prime Minister of Burma
- Sim Var, Prime Minister of Cambodia
- Sir Alexander Grantham, Governor of Hong Kong
- John Foster Dulles, US Secretary of State (represent US President, Dwight D Eisenhower)
- High Commissioners of Australia, Canada and New Zealand
- Lim Yew Hock, Chief Minister of Singapore
- Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (represent Queen Elizabeth II)
- Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester
- Prince William of Gloucester
- Sir Gerald Templer (former British High Commissioner in Malaya)
- Lady Edith Margery Templer (wife of Sir Gerald Templer)
- Lady Isabel Lowther Weir (wife of Sir Henry Gurney)
- Lady Guendolen Mary Wyeth (wife of Sir Edward Gent)
Upon arriving at the Sungei Besi Airport, the guests of honour were welcomed by the British High Commissioner in Malaya, Sir Donald Charles MacGillivray and Lady MacGillivray, the First Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaya, Tuanku Abdul Rahman accompanied by the Raja Permaisuri Agong and the first Prime Minister of Malaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman.
The formation of the Federation of Malaysia was then announced on September 16, 1963 as Malaysia Day. The Independence Day celebration is still held on August 31, the original independence date of Malaya. However, this has caused some minor discontent among East Malaysians in particular since it has been argued that celebrating the national day on August 31 is too Malaya-centric.
"In the context of Singapore, Merdeka usually refers to the gaining of self-rule and self-government from the United Kingdom in the 1950s, as imperialism in Asia slowly declined. It usually does not refer to Singapore's independence from Malaysia in 1965, which followed its merger with Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak on 16 September 1963 after having held the 1962 national referendum.
The Constitution of Singapore had been amended in 1953 following recommendations by the Rendel Commission, creating a 51 seat Legislative Assembly of Singapore to replace the Legislative Council of Singapore. The Legislative Assembly would become the predecessor to the modern Parliament of Singapore. The following Singapore general election of 1955 had members that were elected by the population for the first time become the majority in Singapore's legislature. Previously, only six members of the Legislative Council were elected — the rest were appointed. This however did not satisfy individuals calling for full self-government at least in the matter of domestic affairs.
The call for Merdeka was a growing tension between progressivism and radicalism, cooperation and hostility towards the British. David Saul Marshall of the Labour Front narrowly won the Singapore general election of 1955, but being anticolonialist, tended to be a vocal opponent of the British rule. As such, the British found it hard to work out a compromise. A petition was started in 1956 which collected the signatures of 167,000 — a vast portion of the electorate in that era — in a petition that demanded Merdeka.
During the Merdeka Talks of 1956, the year before Malaya's independence, the British agreed to grant Singapore self-government over domestic issues, while the British retained control of finance and the military. This seemed to satisfy Marshall initially, but the negotiation later broke down when the British refused to turn over internal security to the local government. The British felt that Marshall was not doing enough to counter the threats of the communist insurgency and the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) which had sparked the Malayan Emergency. The march towards independence was stalled and Marshall resigned in 1956 making good on his earlier pledge that he would step down in the case of failure.
Another Labour Front leader Lim Yew Hock took over as Singapore Chief Minister and continued the effort to push for independence. Lim then undertook harsh measures against the communists demonstrating that his administration was willing to take a tough stance to safeguard internal security. In the Chinese middle schools riots of 1956, some nine hundred people were arrested. Leading a negotiation delegation consisting of several Singapore political leaders from various parties, Lim managed to convince the British to grant Singapore Merdeka by amending and revamping its Constitution in 1958 to allow for a fully-elected legislature which would form an internal government with complete autonomy over domestic affairs. This government was formed following the Singapore general election of 1959, but ironically the Labour Front lost as Lim Yew Hock's harsh techniques had alienated large portions of the electorate."
My comments: do you think it will be better if at all Singapore stays in Malaysia?
"Today in Malaysia, in which Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore merged in 1963, the term still remains pertinent in the present. It can be seen in the Malaysian national holiday of Hari Merdeka, commemorating Malaya's independence on 31 August 1957, and Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square) where the first ceremony raising the flag of Malaya was held following independence. Because Sabah and Sarawak gained their independence on 31 August 1963, Hari Merdeka is a significant date throughout Malaysia.
Tunku Abdul Rahman, the inaugural Malaysian Prime Minister, declared Malayan independence with seven shouts of "Merdeka"; the cry continues to be featured prominently in Malaysian Hari Merdeka celebrations."
My comments: 1 malaysia concept.... what ever year, Malaysia celebrates its independence on the 31st August!
let see what 'pop-up' when u actually google MERDEKA...
ever tot of doing that... i just did that and i have to say the first ten sites/links were not so encouraging...

Malaysia in the Eyes of the World: Malaysian Court is Whipping A Women In Public?
Malaysia again have make a name in the World...
Sadly, this time its nothing that i can be proud of... infact i am disgusted that the malaysian leaders are not 'stopping' this from hapening!
I mean common 'guys'... whipping a women in public? !!!!!!!!
I hope the United Nation can do something bout this!
If she shoot down a cow during a thaipusam festival i can undertand if humans want to 'whip' the women.... but to whip the mother of 2 IN PUBLIC just bcoz she drink a fucking beer is just not humane anymore....
I think u guys know what im talking about here...
Im just too angry / sad / disgusted to blog about this... below are the details
article from a local newspaper:
Allah will decide my punishment in the hereafter, says Kartika
Ng Suzhen
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 07:21:00
IN a new twist, part-time model Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarnor, 32, now says she wants her punishment to be carried out quickly and that she will not file an appeal.
Ordered to be whipped six times by the Kuantan Syariah Court, after she had pleaded guilty to consuming beer in public in Cherating, Pahang on July 11, 2007, Bernama reported that Kartika just wanted the ordeal to be over.
"I will accept this punishment, let Allah decide my punishment in the hereafter," said Kartika, who has been residing in Singapore for the last 15 years.
Based on the Syariah Criminal Procedure Enactment 2002, the whipping tool used must be a rotan or small branch that should be not more than 1.22 metres long and not more than 1.25cm thick.
The whipping has to be done using moderate force and the punisher should not raise the hands over the head to avoid injuring the skin. The appointed punisher must be a fair and mature person, During the punishment, the offender must be dressed according to Syariah law.
Male offenders will be whipped while standing whereas female offenders will be in a sitting position when whipping commences.
Whipping would not be done on pregnant offenders and would only be done two months after delivery. It must not hit the face, head, stomach, breast or private parts - only the buttocks.
The offender's health should be checked by government health officers who should also be present during whipping.
The whipping must be done at locations determined by the court or the State government. The whipping punishment is more commonly conducted at the Penor jail in Kuantan, Pahang as the officers there are trained to conduct them.
Earlier, women leaders such as Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil and Titiwangsa Member of Parliament Dr Lo'Lo Datuk Mohd Ghazali had expressed concern over the harsh punishment in relation to the offence.

Lets go Jungle!!!
Last saturday i went into d' JUNGLE for the first time!
A city sleeeeeekkker like myself no NUTS bout the jungle what more driving into the mud, climbing hillslop and crossing river!
but i did just all that!:)
further more i drove my SORENTO with normal ONROAD tyres!
This crazy idea going into the Jungle is to understand the whole 4x4 thingy and to support my 4X4 team....
YUP ... i set up another division to explore the 4X4 Industry... I 'reactivate' my 1st company that i set up in 1994 for this project... "X4" is now a division of Power Mind Consultancy Sdn Bhd and my partner and CEO of the Company is Jeff Zaiham (i will 'blog' bout him soon enough)!
x4 first task was organising a trip for me and a few of my friends to evaluate x4's "X4 Weekend Xcape: Xplore Ulu Slim" program...
Anyway...
....back to my 'adventure'...
We assemble at KL Sentral last saturday at 8am... (Juhaidi and Syed ofcoz were there early...ehhem... on time but i was late! )
We makan first then 'rolling' @ approx 8.45am...
Three 4WD... Jeff the Commander is driving the JeeP ; me they call me LINCAT (a hybrid of lintah and pacat) driving a SorentO and Zali driving a Monster JeeP (pic)! The 'cargo' : Syed , Juhaidi, Richard, Fizrul (my younger brother) and Rina (Zali's fiancee)
We convoy to ulu slim using the Plus highway....
There was a Ferarri Team convoy too at the highway..zzooming away...think bout atleast 13 ferraris... dont think they re going to the Jungle..Duh!
We took the Behrang exit and stop at the small old town of Kampung Ulu Slim... Its a very small old town... i mean its a 10 small one storey of shops facing each other on a not too long a road... ata the end of that short road stand a small 'restaurant'; owned by Pak Atan..
Pak Atan is a very humble old man with tough fit body... macam komando! He explained the history of the town as the town is more than 100 years old. He also told us that next to his shop is a chinese barber shop that has been operating since the birth of the town and now passed down to the son that is also damn old:) the uniqueness of the barber is that he will take more than an hour to complete a haircut and only charge RM5 to his customers... how he survive the month?.... he cuts his own hair and not at a hair salloon in KLCC!
While waiting for our 'simple lunch' to be served there was a group of 4 more 4WD big pajeros arrive and parked infront of the shop...there were Jeff's friends and they too going at the same camping site...
The first thing they ask was "Siapa punya Sorento tu?" (who's sorento is that) ... the 'guys' tone of voice is almost a tease yet confuse on what the f_ck a sorento doing here and what the H_ll the driver is thinking to drive the sorento up into the jungle! further more with ONLY a normal on road tyres!!! :) ofcoz all fingers pointing at me and Jeff starts to introduce them one by one to me and the 'cargo' too...
After our early lunch (approx 1130pm) we continue our convoy ... we stop at the hot springs nearby and all of us try to 'boiled' eggs by slowly putting the eggs onto the small rocky pool of the hot springs... all enjoyed ourself ofcoz right after syed almost fell into the big 'hot pool' and richard 'half boiled' eggs broke INSIDE his pockets:))
Approx 12pm we went 'IN'!
My heart starts beating fast when jeff radio me and ask me to engage to my 4WD Low gear...
I might say that i am almost ready to get scratches on my car or some shit things to happen:)
The route is getting tougher and rougher by the minute!
its not a light terrain as what Jeff have told me... its actually a medium terrain route where they are muddy and hillslops to climb and also rocky river crossings ahead! I was just focusing on the route and instructions especially when i got stuck at the hill slop! thanks syed,juhaidi and ofcoz Zali and the echo of Jeff on the radio...thnx guys! (fizrul just pissing in his pants n pray to god dont kill him today:)) (i will upload more pics and video soon)
When we almost reach the camo site, we stop at a small Orang Asli settlement and joined y the 'other 4x4 guys' ... After just saying 'hi' to the head of the settlement he all continue convoy to the site that was not far from the settlement...
I got woried when i hear a big strong current of the 2 rivers ahead as we need to cross the river to get at the camp site:p Jeff crossed the river like an expert... well ofcoz..he founded the camp site and been there almost 50 times..grrr... Jeff step out fromn the his Jeep and signalling me to cross over... i was telling Juhaidi, syed and Fizrul... my mechanics will tell me to change everything when i got back to KL...
Slowly i let my car slide into the river and then 'GONG' ... i hit a rock and i keep pressing the power and puff the car lift and crosssed the river... man i felt like i just got my 'akil baligh'! (will upload video soon)
After i crossed the river...one by one of the 4x4 guys crossed and all step down and congratulating me for crossing the river well... very good for a first timer... (kembang hidung aku):)
The rest of the trip is just great... details of the trip will be shared via my pictograph
syed tengah rajin...
syed tengah menunjuk...
Zali memotong...
syed's hand blister after not blogging:)
Juhaidi BBQ ala Kelantan Delights (sebelum masak dia buat salad... with petai and potato chips and thousand island)
Syed also wanna be a chef... (ade assistant cook lagi)
Op api hilang...hehehe :)
all busy eating... bbq ala kelantan delights really 'sedap' with a touch of Jeff marinate chicken and his 'creative serai' (lalang)
But Juhaidi is still bbq-ing... rajin rajin! (semua rajin dalam hutan)
After Makan session: talk and kelantan delight painful massage!
Pain in the Jungle: only Syed volunteer:))
Next Morning: Zali getting prepared...
All Set! Ready to go up hill...
Stop for some scenic view...
Syed just finish meditating...
Me with the Orang Asli's Kids
Back from the hill... Zali is crossing the river that i crossed with my sorento:)
End of trip: Zali's Jeep mandi lumpur

Sport as an Industry
I was invited to attend a conference last friday and saturday organised by the Ministry of Youth & Sports via Institut Sukan Negara (ISN)
The Conference titled "Konvensyen Industri Sukan Malaysia 2009" or "KISMAS 2009"...
Dunno why the title is in Malay as the whole convention were conducted in English... i guess its the same case of whether Maths & Science to be taught in English or BM :)
anyway..back to the conference...errr...convention
The MAIN reason I attended the convention is bcoz i was quite happy that Malaysia FINALLY realise that Sport is an Industry!
Its like MITI just realised (2 years ago) how important the SMEs to compare with nurturing only the SMIs that is only 2.5% of the companies registered in the Registrar of Companies... SME is 97.5% and growing each day! (b4 that MITI only extended their grants n loans to SMIs and 'a few' SMEs)
After 52 years of independence... Malaysia acknowledged "Sport as an Industry"....
well... its better now than never... Alhamdullillah!
I will be in touch with the Ministry as a 'committee member' (most of the time self appointed) to make sure ....err ... oklah i can use a friendlier word .... to ASSIST on the intention and the acknowledgement of Sport as an Industry is well implemented and no more 'wasting' or so called 'investing' money in events only... especially event that the Rakyat can not participate.... tengok perahu belayar and kereta laju lumba je... bukanya boleh naik jap pun...
Main focus on Sport Industry is to develop and nurtured companies that are now currently manufacturing (or in planning) the sport equipments, products for manufacturing exports...
Ministry must also focus on the Sport Aviation Industry...
As the VP (ehem, ehem) of Malaysian Sport Aviation Federation I will be in contact with the Ministry of Youth & Sports and a few other ministries on the great benefits that Malaysia will achieved by focusing on Sport Aviation
But one thing for sure... for Malaysia to be serious in making Sport as an Industry, the Ministry of Youth & Sports need to set up a task force consist of rep from Ministry of International Trade & Industry; Ministry of Tourism; Ministry of Higher Education; Ministry of Finance; the Prime Minister's Office; Sport Educators, Industry Players (well chosen) and also the Media... then ONLY the world will take u seriously...
Ministries should learn how to work together and have an internal motto...."ONE GOVERNMENT"!
Good Luck Malaysia!

medical gods
about 2 months ago my father in law was admitted into Pantai Medical, a private hospital runs by a group of bizmen from singapore...
after 7 days of no response from the 'experts', finally they diagnosed him and advice us that father had a stone in bladder and need to also undergo a small operation to his prostate...
he became more worse after the operation as he starts to urinate blood non stop... even that the 'experts' or medical god said that he is fine and discharged him and slap us with a RM35k bill!
And when we call the expert or the medical God ... he will shout and yell and was being very rude by telling that he is busy and he have cured the father and dont disturb him anymore or just come as outpatient and we have to pay him more!
father in law could still walk but in a very slow pace and still urinate blood for weeks till we admit him in University Hospital as we were not satisfied with the way the 'experts' treated us in the hospital that runs by bunch of bizmen.
we cant complaint much with the service in UH as we tot we cant do that since its a 'government hospital' ... but what i can say is that... bad bad service and there is no care or sincerity in 'caring' for the sicklings...
on the second thought..why cant we expect a good service... infact becoz its a gov hospital the nation's hospital should be an example and provide the best medical care...
(ofcoz u can provide comments and do that straight to the MoH)
what i learnt is that in gov hospital u got to wait for the medical gods and goddes to come for a 'visit run' and worse there is no specific time when this gods will do it... and we should forget bout daily chores and just wait whole day for this gods to show up while they re running from one sickling to another (by numbers and turns)...
as we not satisfied we transfered him to UH Private Wing and we got better 'treatment' .... where i believe the 'repayment system' (sacrifice) to the gods is some how more lucrative!
we got the 'treatment' but only in terms of service... theres no answer to what my father in law is becoming more sick then ever...
family decided after 2 weeks no answers from the medical gods...the family took him back home...
and got slap with a RM10k bill!
father's health was going from bad to very very bad in just matter of days...and a week later admit him back to hospital..this time its damansara specialist hospital... where we hope the medical gods there will find an answer to his sickness...
just after few days they transfered him to ICU as he have some breathing problem...but frankly its just his phlem clog as he was bed ridden for more than 2 month...
there is one nite when i was having a 'VIP Dinner' oustation... my wife was calling me and crying saying tht the medical god told her that the father would not survive the night! (this was 3.5 weeks ago...he is still breathing now)
i rush back to kl that nite itself and when i reach the hospital early early in morning..maybe around 3am... it was a nothing really...father was stable..he just need further care as the 'gods' and his assistance should just give father extra care to vacum out the phlem and sliver...
but for the medical god to even think of making a statement that father would not survive the nite is just not humane... especially to my wife who love the father so so much and now have gone very thin crying almost every nite for the past 2 months...
father health is just getting worse and finally after 2 weeks in the icu (rm3k a nite) the med gods keep on pastering to do a trekeostomy as it will ease the breathing... but they never told us the hidden cost... ie life support machine that cost 6k per nite and worse not sure how many nites he would be on it...
when we say that we want to transfer father to GH the medical gods again make another stunt by making a statement father wont be long in this world... in a way convincing us to just maintained him in their ICU...
They keep on making excuses that they cant get a bed for father in GH... of coz i cant take the nonsense from them and i start to 'throw' some names that ive make the calls to and i put them in a corner where they have to get the bed or 'else'
knowing the fact that they just thinking bout money i make some 'calls' and arrange for father to be transfered to general hospital and manage to get him a bed at the neuro icu in General Hospital....
Ofcoz i went to GH myself to get this done!
i have to say the service in GH is good especially at the information and enquiry room located next to the emergency area...
Father was brought to GH in an ambulance that we manage to arrange and pay RM300 from the blood sucking hospital
the bill....more than RM50k! and if we to do the trekky and icu for another week bill would come up to RM100k or more!
my wife was experiencing her 1st being in an ambulance by herself and worry that the father will get panic as he is at that stage in a semi koma...
Once arrive father was ruch to neuro icu and we was stable... alhamdulillah... syukur!
Now he is there for almost 2 weeks.. atleast in GH the medical god that attending to father is a good sincere doctor and she is only looking for answers and done test after test...sincerely!
and the trekky was done and no such life support machine was required after the surgery like what the d specialist claims!
last saturday father received a ministrial visit... i guess the whole VIP staff of GH were there and ofcoz we received more 'information' on what they are doing and what they will do to find answers and solutions for father...
how we wish father was not on semi koma and say tq to him
today he is still stable and we re doing what ever things possible for his recovery...
my wife even starts her emails to prof in california asking and seeking for answers as she thinks that she could help the medical doctors in GH to open their minds to other practitioners oppinions...
lets all pray for father's health and hope for a fast recovery...
and i have a long report to submit to the minister of health...
will keep u updated on fathers condition n with regards to my report... i guess it might be confidential...
it might be 'NOT' ...

Good Service and Neon Lights
i was in Ipoh last week and it have been almost 10 years since ive stayed in Casuarina Hotel Ipoh...
Me, jeff and zali drove and only manage to leave kl at 1130pm... when we reach Ipoh exit we just follow the 'guy instict' and follow the force and jeff refuse to ask for direction ... ego is one thing but his inlaw is from Perak:) so more pressure for himself to find the hotel...
We went arround and arround and use all the 'fimiliar' road to Jeff and ofcoz i also try to use my force in trying to get to the hotel...
Finally we spot 2 patrol car parked infront of the 7 11 (buying top up and power root i guess)
I wind down my window ask politely for directions... one of the officer is so so nice to request help from the other patrol car (i guess they have bought their top ups and power root) to escort us to the hotel... mind u we were just driving a waja...and not X5 or some luxury car...
The patrol car escorted us all the way to the hotel with the beacon light on....how i wish with sirens but i guess its not appropriate ... its 230am...
when they showed us the hotel we were all hitting our head as we have passed this building before ... in fact it was the first road tht we took (i guess Jeff force serve him good...but not his eyes)... what makes us passed the building was bcoz the hotel signboard...neon lights was not on..or maybe there was no neon lights.... and 10 years ago there is no UMNO building next to casuarina hotel ....it was an empty land (thats why i tot its just another office building next to UMNO's (maybe PKR Perak HQ:))
We checked in at 315am and the next morning we cant stop talking bout the good service of the police force in Ipoh.... syabas!
and comes to casuarina not having its neon lights...shame on U

The patrol car escorted us all the way to the hotel with the beacon light on....how i wish with sirens but i guess its not appropriate ... its 230am...
when they showed us the hotel we were all hitting our head as we have passed this building before ... in fact it was the first road tht we took (i guess Jeff force serve him good...but not his eyes)... what makes us passed the building was bcoz the hotel signboard...neon lights was not on..or maybe there was no neon lights.... and 10 years ago there is no UMNO building next to casuarina hotel ....it was an empty land (thats why i tot its just another office building next to UMNO's (maybe PKR Perak HQ:))
We checked in at 315am and the next morning we cant stop talking bout the good service of the police force in Ipoh.... syabas!
and comes to casuarina not having its neon lights...shame on U

Life and/or Death
Have u experience near death?
Have u seen death?
Have u seen people experience near death?
There is no specific answer to all these questions.....
Why im thinking of death?
Why not!
I always notice that humans do not how to face death! nor near death experience...
Are we all affraid to die?
I guess U might be affraid of not knowing where U heading to...
Or do we know where we heading to and then affraid of not knowing how good or bad the situation might be...
Few years ago i almost face death...
I was involved in a 10 car accident in the north south highway... my car spinned and my tyre rim was screecthing on the tar road for miles...
so many things came to my mind in a mili seconds... loves ones, life, biz,etc all at the same time... i just went blank during the whole accident till my car stop itself at the side of the road! 3 cars infront of me and 6 cars behind me coz a massive traffic jam for hours...
But did i really go blank?!... i cant forget one thing....
i was scared!
AS when my mind ponder on somany things at the same time in that mili seconds... i do realise that i have not done enough for the life that GOD have given me...
Whenever u experience a near death situation i guess thats the only time u start to ponder... y are u here?
and i do wonder... why the old ones... affraid of dying... of death...
what else do they have not done>?
not enough?
worried of the loves ones that he or she will leave behind?
or is it just simply affraid of not knowing whats next?
Hell? or heaven?
whos to judge.... GOD?
well i believe so as GOD creates....
whatever the creator creates the creator can destroy!
then again...why create?
the intention to create humans have always been a big question to those who r searching for the 'answers'...
are we not suppose to ask? then why create the ability of humans anxiety to know...
and for those who believe in GOD...
why the worry of not knowing whats next...
will GOD really punish those who do BAD in their life... how BAD is the punishments... how long is the punishments....
what about diferences of belief system....
how one choose ones true belief?
'true' belief....
then again who are we to judge...
so whats the conclusion for all these questions....
there are none!
one have the right to think what to belief...
BUT one also need to think
WHO/WHAT starts the ORIGIN of life
and WHY
close your eyes and pause yr life for a while and think
U might find an answer...

Malaysia Sport Aviation Federation (MSAF)
Last Saturday was the 6th AGM for the Malaysian Sport Aviation Federation (MSAF)...
MSAF was formed under the office of MIGHT(PMs department) and DCA to monitor the sport aviation initiatives in the country.
Much have done to promote the 'new' sport but there are much to do
Last saturday, i was elected to be the Vice President (Sport & Business Development)
:)
My main job is to promote the sport aviation and also to keep the MSAF running by getting some funds an grants from the government.
One thing i did even before being the VP is by organising the Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 with my friend, Din of AKA balloon..
Organising that event is just a teaser to Malaysia as we will organise more sport aviation carnival very soon...
Look out for the next SF trademark event:)

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
this is what wikipedia got to say bout it ..
"Respect is esteem for, or a sense of the worth or excellence of, a person, a personal quality, ability, or a manifestation of a personal quality or ability. In certain ways, respect manifests itself as a kind of ethic or principle, such as in the commonly taught concept of "[having] respect for others" or the ethic of reciprocity.
esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability: I have great respect for her judgment.
deference to a right, privilege, privileged position, or someone or something considered to have certain rights or privileges; proper acceptance or courtesy; acknowledgment: respect for a suspect's right to counsel; to show respect for the flag; respect for the elderly''.
WHAT A MOUTHFULL!
Respect is simply an act of good intentions...
ONE should only RESPECT the ONE that respects the other ONE
:) sometime i talk like master yoda (star wars)
Aretha Franklin also thinks R.E.S.P.E.C.T. is important :)
Even Barack Obama respect her for respecting RESPECT untill he ask her to sing (my country tis of thee) during his inauguration last Jan 20, 2009
God wants us to respect each other for all good reasons... as he is the Lord for all of us...
Respect each other for you to be able to respect yourself!
I always respect those who know how to respect others and for those humans who wants and need to respected... i got only one thing to say... dont ask for respect...earn it by respecting others...
Those who still dont understand go to music store and buy Aretha Franklin CDs...

Singapore CusToms
So many hapenings since i last blogging and i will try to re cap the most important things... (one of the reason why i did not update my blog is i still want a 'few' good gentlemen to read my Niat part 2 story)...
Anyway....
last week i was driving down to Singapore with TA (a good buddy of mine) and his buddy from indonesia... we were driving from melaka. The Remote Control Helicopters (aeromodelling) team participating in the Singapore Aeromodelling Competition 2009 in Tuas, Singapore ...
We were using the second link to go into Singapore...
The plan was just go into Singapore to see the finals and the closing ceremony and head back to melaka as some one organises the melaka air Carnival (not so hapening event anyway)
Not knowing SG Customs Law... we were just chatting away thru the customs without checking my car if we got some ciggy box un opened or something... just my bad luck my car was inspected by one bloody nerd custom officer whom i guess desperate to get a job promotion or achieve high marks in his KPIs... he inspected my car in and out and found 2 ciggerete box not open ...frankly im not a smoker...onely smoke when im driving long distance/tired... he ask me to park my car and follow him to the custom office...
He even check my engine if im trying to smuggle more ciggy in my engine... tru dumbo!
well anyway to cut the 2 hour arguement short we end up being charge SGD 400 for the 2 boxes...
the thing is..even some singaporeans were cought and fined.... i have sent a letter anyway to the sg customs and also to straits times as this stupid law is not fair and for personal consumption i dont thing u should be fined SGD 400 for 2 box of ciggy...
Worst there was this chinese lady was cought bringing 'malaysian soil and plants'.. the customs took away her plants and fined her too... ciggy boxes i can understand... cant bring in plants from malaysia???
Are malaysian plants/soil too dirty for Singaporeans Government???
This i believe is too much!
A small island that once belongst to Malaya now thinks that their land is more pure than us.... too much...just too much...
Anyway by the time we get to the competition site...all has ended... but good news..Malaysia team won 1st and 3rd prize (all effort without malaysian gov funding)
anyways....with regards to sg customs interesting law... Shall i do something bout this...you bet!

NIAT: part two
Few weeks ago I wrote about humans' intentions (NIAT)
This is one thing that I just do not understand about human and its characteristics
Why if one human wants to do something the one would not put [his] best effort to do it in upmost perfection...but again ... who is judging???
This time i would like to point out (target: with my sniper riffle) on the welfare department in Malaysia... (Ministry of Women, family..mouthfull) (I would like to give a new name to them "Ministry of Betterliving & Caring" if they really want to change to a result oriented ministry)
We all assume or some dont even bother to care that the welfare department always take care of those unfortunate human beings... well guys U are WRONG! They look caring but no results and only those in the 'market' knows about it...unspoken truth!
Recently there was a case bout the welfare department want to take off some funds from the disabled if there have astro/tv at their homes... nonsense!
(Matters still unsettle and 'they' are suffering still!)
Now I heard that there are some 'homes' either for under privilege kids or orphans DO NOT receive the proper aids from the welfare department.
NOW…. Why is that???
Oh Yeah for your information… to makes matters worse... In the ‘market’ the non-muslim homes get less or none from the welfare to compare to those muslim homes!!!
I hate when humans forget their NIAT in life
Must we differentiate between one muslim kid to a non-muslim kid if your NIAT is to help a Kid!
I will be very very angry when things like this happen and guys .... I will do my best to change this mindset in the relevant ministries or government agencies...
I will do something bout this very soon!

NIAT
Niat means intention...
Humans some how do not know the meaning...
This is the meaning (reference; wikipedia):
Intention:
An agent's intention in performing an action is his or her specific purpose in doing so, the end or goal that is aimed at, or intended to accomplish. Whether an action is successful or unsuccessful depends at least on whether the intended result was brought about. Other consequences of someone's acting are called unintentional. Intentional behavior can also be just thoughtful and deliberate goal-directedness.
In Philosophy;
G.E.M Anscombe made the topic of intentional action a major topic of analytic philosophy with her 1957 work Intention. She argued that intentional action was coextensive with action of which one could ask "why were you doing that?" In the sense that Anscombe meant her question, it was "refused application" by the answer "I was not aware that I was doing that," but not by "for no reason at all." Therefore Anscombe held that it was possible to act intentionally for no reason at all. She also claimed that intentional action was subject to "knowledge without observation."
In the philosophy of mind, intentionality is the property of being "about" something else, or to have some subject matter, in a certain way. Many states of mind, such as thinking about the pyramids, are characteristically about things (in this case the pyramids). Other things, such as words and paintings, can also have kinds of intentionality. Rocks and tables, in general, do not have intentional states.
hmmm... interesting yea... let me try to digest this:
(italic bold is my digestions:))
An agent's intention in performing an action is his or her specific purpose in doing so, the end or goal that is aimed at, or intended to accomplish.
An agent or a person need to know why he/she had that intention....
then he acts towards its goal
Whether an action is successful or unsuccessful depends at least on whether the intended result was brought about.
The success on achieving the goal of the intention is depends on the sincerity and seriousness of the intention...
An agent should NOT stop (his good intention) and if no hope of success... dont give up... source for it!
Other consequences of someone's acting are called unintentional. Intentional behavior can also be just thoughtful and deliberate goal-directedness.
When a person is act as an agent of intention... that person will have a strong will power and self confident as a weapon of mass destruction!
I have come accross so many humans in my life...
Not many understand the meaning of the word, coz they dont know the real reason of why(s);
Why we do good?
Why we do bad?
Why we do things that we do?
Why we pray?
Why we help those in need... how far?
Why we dont help?
Why we fight?
Why we stop fighting?
Why we think?
Why we need to think?
Why we care?
Why we need to care?
.... think..... Why....

Creating Heroes : Sheikh Faleigh
By Syed Akbar Ali
There are a thousand reasons why UMNO is losing popularity among the Malays (and everyone else). Many of the reasons can be read here in the many angry comments and replies. They can also be heard in other Blogs, at the Kopitiam and the mamak shops.
And yet there is one more reason too. The UMNO system of largesse and patronage does not allow the creation of independent heroes among the Malays. If you do not have the party’s patronage (meaning if you are not a supporter) then it is most likely that the powers that be may not pay much attention to you. They can also seriously obstruct your forward motion.
Some academic type people were discussing this sometime back and came to agree on this point too. Even in sports, in the badminton associations, football associations and others everything is politicized.
Recall the young man from Penang who swam across the English Channel? He was an UMNO Youth protégé. They took him under their wing. Later he became a Datuk. (Anyone knows where he is now?)
The taxi permits are politicized (who cares about the poor cab drivers or the suffering public). The award of hawkers licenses are politicized. Everything is controlled.
If you don’t stop to kowtow your local party boss, then you are out of the largesse loop. This has become the norm. And this is greatly resented by many many people, especially the young Malays. Hence they are voting for other parties.
The party has to learn (by yesterday) to go out and genuinely help people without expecting anything in return, without checking if someone is a prty supporter or not. It is called selfless public service. Nak sebut altruism pun boleh.
Despite the stranglehold on just about everything in the country, there are numerous people from among the Malays who are able to break through barriers and emerge on top minus the heavy political connections or largesse. One such person is a young man (33 years old) called Sheikh Faleigh. He is listed in the local records as the youngest entrepreneur etc.
Sheikh is into major event management. He is an incorrigible entrepreneur. Tenacious when he latches on to something. I met him many years ago when he was in his twenties and already a successful entrepreneur. It was during a dinner meeting with the then Datuk Bandar of Kuala Lumpur (cant recall which one but also got ‘booted’ out of office).
I remember I had forgotten to bring a pen. Sheikh had a pen and was doodling on a small note book (or so I thought). I asked to borrow his pen to take some notes of the Datuk Bandar’s speech. The boy became visibly uneasy like he really needed to have the pen back. So I gave it back to him and he seemed happy ‘doodling’ again. Later he told me that he needs to constantly write things down, ideas that popped into his head about how to make money, what venture to explore and so on. (In brief never ask to pinjam his pen).
As with all entrepreneurship not all ventures are financially successful. But what marks the usahawan is their tenacity to never let go. They always bounce back, trying this or that, until one day they hit the mother lode.
Not too long ago I introduced Sheikh to a very savvy Chinese tycoon. It was just a short introduction but before I knew it, the young man had convinced the tycoon into doing something with him.
Most recently Sheikh has organized the Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon Fiesta on March 28 and 29. The first of its kind in Malaysia, more than 19 hot air balloon enthusiasts from around the world came to participate. The event turned out to be a resounding success. Over 150,000 people came to the Fiesta including the Yang Di Pertuan Agong’s four young children.
Perhaps for the first time, Putrajaya was filled to the brim with people. The streets became parking lots for the over 150,000 people who came. (I am also glad the event was not held in Kuala Lumpur, which would have caused massive traffic jams and disrupted business for the whole weekend.)
What is significant was that Sheikh organized the whole event without any Government help or assistance from the Ministry of Tourism. He is also not a member of UMNO. Actually he is quite sore at the Ministry of Tourism who did not lend a hand although the Fiesta attracted 150,000 people and helped put Malaysia on the world hot air ballooning map (which apparently has its own crazy followers – just like the F1).
A Google search for the 1st Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 registers over 34,000 sites while Yahoo generates 25,600 references. This is tremendous exposure for Malaysia.
Sheikh says there are major Hot Air Balloon Fiestas in Thailand and Phillippines which have been going on for over 10 years. In Thailand the King is the Royal Patron and hosts the event free for the public.
Sheikh wants to make the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta here an annual affair too. Knowing Sheikh he will possibly get Royal Patronage too.
You can see more pictures of the Fiesta here
Ever entrepreneur needs a break. I hope Sheikh Faleigh will take off to the skies (and quite literally too).

As usual, I'm sure there will be some political characters trying to gain some mileage from him.
But Sir, there are many stories like this, and these people are not into politics and don't believe it will help.

Finally a Bumiputera that is standing on his two feet without the Government/UMNO help.
I totally salute this man! Keep up the good work! I hope more Bumiputera brothers and sisters like him will step forward.

Dear Syed,
Sheikh Faleigh - Sounds like a great guy.
Just how do you define a "HERO"?
Now that God Almighty has "Enlightened & Empowered" him....
I would like to advise him to "Go Forth" beyond "Malaysian Shores" to "Establish" himself in "their Register Book" as an "International Hot Air Balloon Enthusiast Committee member" on his OWN steam without any "Malaysian Govt & Corporate" Sponsorship....
It is not in the "Money or Sponsorship" rather the "Passion, Honesty & Sincerity" that will attract the "Money".
Money & Accolades will come from ALL sides if one has "Achieved through Passion, the Honourable way".
My salams & best wishes to him.
Cheers bro.

thnx ya all...
i am going Australia to challenge myself doing some biz there.... i find pple there are less judgemental... doing few things...opening up Kelantan Delights restaurant and bistro with a close friend and also to fly Malaysia hot air balloon in the australia circuit promoting the country... Malaysia need to be more creative in promoting our existence and NOT only relying on tourism offices worldwide... One of my ideas to the gov is to but a hot air balloon with malaysia pictures on it and one more a special shape balloon...a shape of our Twin Towers and me n my team will participate in the hot air balloon fiesta in europe,americas n etc... most creative ways to promote the country....and we do not need rm 300mil budget from gov to do this mass creative promotion... thnx guys for the encouraging comments and brother thnx for the cool story on heroes:)

make the universe our ally and have thoughts of abundance as opposed to scarcity. An entrepreneur thinks of wealth as an infinite pie (melimpah-ruah) - and not joining a scramble for stuff like employees do.

I heard your interview with one of the radio station a few months back. You were talking about the balloon thing. You were hit badly once and move office to far away places.
Since your name start with Sheikh, are you having a pure malay/ bumi blood or campuran? I know a mama guy who is a millionaire at about your age. His name starts with Syed.
Maybe mix blood is good for our country's progress. No need political connection, just pure brain and attitude.

Syed & SF,
That's the way to go Bro SF....
When you have achieved your International status beyond our shores....
Boy, they will regret allowing their "Window of Opportunity" to go by....
Bet you they will be "Chasing" you with their "Datukship" & it will be your your "Choice" to accept it or tell them to go "Fly Kites!"
Cheers & Good Luck SF.

When a tense meeting ends with a smiling faces...
Yesterday i had a 2 hour meeting with the ministry of tourism with regards to me being a 'pain' of wanting my voice heard...
(for those who not been following my blog im refering to the ministry giving me notice in writing 2 days b4 the balloon fiesta saying...good luck by theway no money for u!)
The meeting is also join by a representative from PEMUDAH and PUBLIC COMPLAINTS BUREAU respectively. They were there as an observer to my 'yapping':)
I must say that I was very happy with the way the meeting was chaired and conducted... ofcoz there are tense moments as all i guess think that im a lunatic goon.. BUT it all went very smooth...infact, silky smooth... intead of being a mad lunatic i went there being a yoga master or frankly i was master jedi YODA:)
Both parties, my self representing the organising committee of the fiesta and the tourism ministry have our own points to address... and all noted... hope they give me a copy of their version of the minutes of meeting tho...
During the long meeting.... i remember there was one question thrown at me if i would want to stop and stand down for the sake of having a continuous relationship with the ministry and 'its' people (since i'm in the MICE industry for 15 years now)..
Actually i was really waiting for a right time for 'them' to know bit about me and what ive done in 15 years other than just running companies..
I told them that it was never in my intention to be a pain to anyone or to create enemies... i do not have enemies and ill be a fool to create enemies with the government ... BUT if there are issues that need to bring attention .. I WILL BE THERE DEMANDING FOR AN ANSWER AND A SOLUTION!
I was sharing with them my journeys in making a clear and fair path for entrepreneur
that have merits do their biz in Malaysia:
1. conference was not claimable under the HRDF scheme till 1.5 years ago... now conference can be claimable as this is important if the nation serious of building a knowledge society.
NO ENEMY.. in fact the ministry n the industry gained a lot after the 'change'
2. miti under midf/smidec/matrade focusing their grants to SMI (factory owners) when they should focus nuturing the mass 90% industry in Malaysia..the SMEs... now grants and soft loans are available within miti...further more u can claim 80% of the conference fee for u to enhance yr knowledge n skills
NO ENEMY... same... both gained!
3. contributed to the rights for the physically challenge community(i hate label them as OKU)
NO ENEMY... i hope:)... no result yet.. very complicated...still fighting!
4. some CSR projects here n there...
so that was my answer to them on me just want to bring up some issues that was not just!
At the end of the meeting... all wish me the best and all smile and of coz i gave all a hot air balloon cap!
:)

Politic-a-bit: Perak, Parliament,etc..
i just saw on you tube the 'hooligans' in the Perak State Assembly Hall...
plus so many videos on how Malaysia Parliament being conducted...
I thought that the 'Hall' and the 'people' that represent a bunch of other people should worry about the people and not bout themselves or their boss or their political career or etc...
When i saw the 'hooligans' attacking another 'hooligans' i thought of calling WWF and asking them to open a ring in PERAK...and one in Jalan Duta!
On other note...
The guys that put things on you tube do not have any brains... i mean there's a limit on how much you can tell the world bout Malaysia Truly Asia!
Cameraman out there... pls la..go to National Park, Mount Kinabalu or even National Zoo and take lah all the picture/video u want and put it up on you tube...not go to stupid defunct assembly hall and take the endangered species!
anyway... this is why i never join any political party in Malaysia
dont mind being in OBAMA administration tho:)
OBAMA... u hiring?

JoKe No. 1
Why Indians cannot be terrorist!!
1. We are always late; we would have missed all 4 flights.
2. We would talk loudly and bring attention to ourselves.
3. With free food & drinks on the plane, we would forget why we're There
4. We talk with our hands;therefore we would have to put our weapons down.
5. We would ALL want to fly the plane.
6. We would argue and start a fight in the plane.
7. We can't keep a secret; we would have told everyone a week before doing it.
8. We would have put our country's flag on the windshield.
9. We would have postponed the mission because a cricket match was going on that day
10. We would all have fallen over each other to be in the photograph being taken with one of the hostages.

i must say....
WOW
well... i hope the Villains are not stronger than the super hero PEMUDAH..
to be continued...
Below are some background on PEMUDAH or you can go to www.pemudah.gov.my
PEMUDAH Background
The idea for a high-powered taskforce to address bureaucracy in business-government dealings was first introduced in the Prime Minister’s annual speech to the Civil Service on 11th January 2007. It was recognised that a concerted cross-ministerial initiative was needed to effect greater improvement in the way government regulates businesses. To be truly relevant, it was also essential to have active participation by the private sector.
On 7th February 2007, the Special Taskforce to Facilitate Business or PEMUDAH (taken from the taskforce’s Malay name ‘Pasukan Petugas Khas Pemudahcara Perniagaan’) was established. Reporting directly to the Prime Minister, the team comprises 23 highly respected individuals from both the private and public sectors. It is co-chaired by Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan, the Chief Secretary to the Government of Malaysia and Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Datuk Yong Poh Kon, President of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers.
Terms of Reference:
To review the status of the public services delivery system in terms of processes, procedures, legislation and human resource towards introducing improvements;
To study best practices in the private sector that can be adopted by the public sector;
To coordinate programs across public sector agencies towards enhancing Malaysia's competitiveness;
To monitor the implementation of policies, strategies and procedures aimed towards improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the public delivery system; and
To take appropriate action in addressing issues raised during Cabinet meetings regarding the public delivery system.
Values
The vision of PEMUDAH is to achieve a globally benchmarked, customer-centric, innovative and proactive public service in support of a vibrant, resilient and competitive economy.
This vision is underpinned by the following values:
A sense of urgency
Proactive public-private sector collaboration
Facilitation, not hampering
No more regulation than necessary
Zero tolerance for corruption
