The following stories may fire your imagination, pique your interest. Some say 1MDB is Malaysia's Sovereign Wealth fund; to others they asked what wealth fund when its total capitalization is just One million ringgit? But, then again, if you think you can look down on the pet idea of the Malaysian prime minister, think again. His idea has the potential of turning the now world famous - or shall we say, infamous - 1Malaysia Development Berhad into a giant corporation you can ever imagine - even bigger than Bill Gate's Microsoft! At least, it could be, if the original course is stayed. It was supposed to inspire Malaysians to think big besides advance growth, according to its slogans screaming out of giant bill boards throughout the country. 'Backed' by the finance ministry who owns it - which means money will never be the problem - it can only succeed. But..it didn't. It failed! That's why it may have piqued many people's curiosity. How can a company flush with cash and can borrow any amount (billions) anytime could fail? Well, this may be in line with your thinking. People have seen since its inception - I mean after its name was changed in 1999 from Trengganu Investment Authority (TIA) to the present - it hasn't done any business! I have used present tense deliberately. It hasn't done any business yet. I mean if you are in business you need to make profit or find ways to make profit. Or close shop. Oh, I had heard about their filings of tax returns and hiring of a couple of internationally known auditors to sign off on their balance sheets; but these concerned only the company's borrowings and interests to be paid. Two massive bonds were issued to the tune of $7 billions. To buy up power plants. Again I want to say if you are in business to make money even investing in independent Power Plants, it should be done with the view to making a profit. The decision may be long term or short term, it doesn't matter, it has to make money, or no deal. May be they have done the right thing. Maybe luck was not on their side. Still, the amount is staggering. I didn't know having or managing so much money can be a problem! But many - especially the Malays - have not given up hope yet. Yes, may be the durians are just ripening; may be they need time and may fall soon!

Malaysia's Vision 2020
By:David Lang
Malaysia is supposed to be on its way to becoming a developed nation, by the year 2020. Will she make it (in less than five years -tick-tuck, tick-tuck)? There is no doubt the year 2020 is coming whether the country is ready or not, and if that will be the only requirement then Malaysia will attain that developed nation status on schedule. There is a question, though, Will Malaysia, or Malaysians, for that matter, be ready for that status as far as their affluence, quality of life's concern? Currently Malaysia's GNI per capita stood at US$10060. According to the World Bank high income economies are those with GNI per capita of US$12,745. And until Malaysians earn much more to be there, the developed nation status may not be achieved even by the year 2020. The futility of declaring a country a high income country when it's not, achieves nothing. May be even counter-productive; it lulls the country into false sense of success and premature celebration. Don't forget China reportedly overtook Japan as the world's second largest economy, but in actual fact China's citizens' ca pita income is a fraction of the incomes of the Japanese who earn $37,000. Chinese incomes range from $13,000. China's gross domestic product, taken as a whole, may beat Japan's, but in term of quality of life, and GNI per capita income, the criteria for a developed nation status, China still has a lot of catching up to do. That's why China still qualifies as recipient of Japan's economic aid meant for developing countries. Comparing with the Chinese per capita domestic product, Malaysia is even worse off. Unless the government bucks up and rushes to create more wealth for its citizens, the Vision 2020 dream may remain just that ..a dream.

'MCA go home' vs 'Where was DAP 13 years ago?' at Jonker Walk
What?! Gan qualified his being there as a survey, not to protest? Let alone to lead the protest? Did Mr. Gan Tian Loo realize that the MCA protest carries more weight than DAP protest many times over. The state government, being UMNO-led government, considers the DAP as the opposition working hand-in-hand with PAS and PKR to oust UMNO from power, rescinding the directive on the request from DAP leaders will make the party even more popular. I thought, at first, here come the MCA, finally to do what it's supposed to do. Then the expected happened. He got cold feet. The reporter who covered the protest reported Gan was suddenly cautious . He was like ..."I'm here to lend my support to..the .. no, wait! I am not here to support the traders - but just to do a quick survey! But I am glad to be standing here with the protesters but reporters, please put it down in black and white I am not, I repeat, am not here as part of the protest. This is the reason the MCA was shunned, I mean has been shunned by the Chinese. They do not represent the Chinese anymore. They cannot get things done anymore unlike in the old days. Gan admitted his meeting with the chief minister was fruitless, but would keep trying. Keep trying for what? He should stop embarrassing the MCA and reducing its credibility further by continuing to beg despite being rebuffed earlier. Again, this proved that the Malaysian Chinese Association has really completely lost its usefulness. If a small matter like Jonker Walk closure was beyond its power then, that 's it.

The Great Formidable Interviewee
6 hrs agoWho did you interview, Citizen Nades? Why so secretive about the subject? people may ask. What's so special about this interviewee?
Those are good questions; indeed, and the answers are pretty good, too. Let me guess, the subject of the interview was not from Mars but right here in Sarawak! An ordinary fellow just like any of us. Pot-bellied, perhaps, and married young when he was naughty with his girlfriend; five-feet-six-or-seven and in his sixties (as most people with grown-up children are).
That's where our similarity ends.
I am not assuming who he's, but I am assuming he's a politician (who else from this land of the Horn bill can attract the attention of Citizen Nades), as why else would The Sun Daily's investigative editor waste his precious time doing a boring interview.
I don't want to get into trouble by mentioning names here. Let's just say the interviewee was a VIP. A VIP because of his money or being a leader, I don't know; probably the former, or both. Even the fearless The Sun Daily's CITIZEN NADES was cautious. He could only say - not some grey-haired couple looking to spending their golden years together some where in the sun, but just "someone" - or his alter ego. Someone who had been through a real interview (the mother of all interviews if you know what I mean) somewhere before his.
Even Citizen Nades, as he's well-known due to his pen-power, couldn't be too careful. He knew a powerful man, and ruthless one too if he wanted to be, when he saw one. He saw this man as so fearless that he belittled all threats and accusations against him, and that deterred his enemies. He even warned the anti-corruption agency (the most powerful federal agency of all) without any repurcussion which will surely not be the case if the personality that issued that warning was just an ordinary citizen. He would forthwith be arrested and charged with an offense which they were actually reluctant to do.
This VIP also had the gall to scold the anti-corruption officials. "Don't play with me..." he said. And that's what earned him the interview, perhaps! Despite Citizen Nades' respected name and many no holds barred articles he penned which few mentioned in them dared to contest or sue for libel, he's conspicuously extremely cautous in his handling of this interviewee.
Maybe he's smarter than we thought. Maybe what he hears frightens him somewhat? Checked. Do you wish to know more?

Premature Ejaculation
News > Carnal Desires >Dalliances
During my youth I attended a practical course provided by the GEC (General Electric Company of England). Everyday I would be at the GEC workshop located at Biship Street from nine to five.
As repairs and servicing...refrigerators and air-conditioners its only core business, it was out-sourced to another servicing company located not far from the GEC workshop.
While most repairs were to be carried out at the GEC workshop, the people doing all the work were from the out-sourcee company. I worked for the out-sourcee company. So did another 6 persons. Two of them were head mechanics. Their jobs were to test run all completed repairs before declaring the jobs done. One of the head mechanics was a man of 27. His name was Wong Jen; scarfaced and highly sexed. He's , incidentally, the subject of this article.
Wong inspired this story/ I hung my story on Wong because of his...sex drive. I know some of you may consider a waste of time to read this story because what's a big deal about a man with a strong sex drive, you may ask. You have heard about this story often enough, you may add. But you won't think it's a waste if you hear how highly sexed he's.
Well, he's so highly-sexed that he needed release often; sometimes 2-3 times in an hour! Let me explain. Let me give an anecdote of what I mean.
One day, while idling at the workshop directly opposite a hotel noted for its service in providing rooms for prostitutes to entertain clients, we were alerted a new hooker had just arrived from the mainland.
At once we realized we needed to get laid.
So without hesitation we rushed up stairs to investigate. The girl was young and desirable; and that's all we asked. After all, we didn't need need to marry her but just to satisfy out lust. Get laid.
It was agreed that Wong was to be the first to go in while the rest to wait outside the door for our turns.
But after a few seconds after he entered the room, and the door shut after him, the door opened again and Wong rushed out...and headed for the bathroom. We rushed into the room and found the prostitute in her birthday suit, legs spread wide to real her hairy pussy. when the girl heard us wondering whether Wong was done, she told us he was not. "He said he needed to use the bathroom room first,why?" The girl also seemed to wonder and added, "He looked at me and there," pointing to her wet vagina, "and then said he'd be back!" We could only become aware of the reason for Wong's disappearance to the bathroom after he went into the girl's room again to pleasure himself and (this time) invited us to view the intercourse. However, hardly any intercourse took place; Wong's penis was fully erect after he returned from the bathroom but not for long, unfortunately.
As soon as he touched the girl's pussy lips (with his cock) he cried out..in pleasure, (fortunately) and shot his load on the the girl's private part.
The girl who closed both her eyes during all this probably didn't feel anything at all. She earned RM30 (approximately $10) for nothing. If this was a rape case trial, the judge would probably return a verdict of not guilty since there was no penetration.
Wong later confessed he was ultra-sensitive sexually; he went to the bathroom earlier to masturbate and ejaculate he said, in order to reduce the sensitiveness of his penis and have a better staying power when mounting the girl. But it was to no avail. He admitted he suffered from premature ejaculation. But when asked if he suffered from lack of sexual pleasure, he said no. On the contrary, to be able to ejaculate a multiple of times in just one hour makes him happy for now!

News > American Politics >November General Election
Destined to wear the jeweled crown; the Chinese, and that includes the Hong Kong Chinese, are genius people. They can make anything, from pencils to watches, cars, motorcycles, hand phones, computers, home appliances to warships and jet fighters, to name just a few as examples, if they can get their hands on the originals.
And you can't tell the difference from the imitation to the original, except the price.
Hong Kong thrived as a British colony in the old days its economy driven largely by imitation industry. Then, when wearing a watch was a must, Swiss- made Rolex watches were the #1 selling watches - or shall we say the most longed for watches - because of superb craftsmanship and the price tag that enhances its prestige further.
Then came the vision; some smart people with vision, I mean - and none other than the Hong Kong Chinese - who pondered only a mere few seconds before imagining himself a very rich man in no time, so rich he could fly in his own jets..if he could, well, come up with a master-piece like the Rolex - imitated but as good as the original and sporting exactly the same name - to be sold at a fraction of the price of the original. The rest is, of course, history.
Back to the espionage business. Why the German intelligence sounds the alarms (warnings) nobody knows, but it's certainly not polite to accuse the Chinese of wanting to learn (copy) from German technology and inventions, if not counter-productive.
As the Chinese from top leaders down to farmers are able to read and write, they are bound to read about what the Germans spy said. It's common nowadays for buyers of complex technology products like warplanes, etc. to demand technology transfer beside a package of training to pilots from the purchasing countries to fly the planes. (Even today's news front-pages India as on shopping spree for $12 billions worth of the most advanced fighter planes for is air force!) The Malaysian prime minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Bin Mohammad even demanded and got one of his pilots to be sent to the international space station!
Granted, there's no denying that China wanted to be the only super power of the world one day and would need all the technology it can get get, it prefers to learn on the fly rather than beg for help. They would secretly observe how others do and memorize them to apply for their own use. Or, in case of Chinese - even Taiwanese Chinese, for that matter - record the plans and blue-prints in tiny cameras if they work in overseas high technology firms and send them to communist China - for their mother-land's advancement! What's wrong with that? Espionage?
Instead of accusing the Chinese of being copycats, we should instead be grateful for their past inventions. Historians pointed to Chinese being the earliest inventors of many tools and (even) language and calculating methods we use today. The Chinese or what they call themselves among Chinese people, the Middle Kingdom people, led the way for everything; in olden time and today.
Modern day:
In sports, who excels? The Chinese. (The Badminton Olympics champion, for instance, is Chinese (and will always be for the foreseeable future)
Characters: The Chinese have scruples, which stand them in good stead wherever they go or live.
Government: The mainland Chinese government may be communist and would fiercely resist any parties who oppose them, they are invariably just in their action or operation. They may put their foot down on certain matters, for the good of all, but allow citizens to excel in their individual enterprises, and to prosper without hindrance. They are just in the way they deal with their people without discrimination fueled by corruption of its leaders. They operate within boundaries set by themselves!
Because of this the Chinese or their government whether communist or otherwise can only and do prosper.
Even the current scenario makes the Chinese hold their heads high among nations or race. Communist China is the world's second economic power behind only the US; its market is the world's largest; so is its population and possibly is armed forces - in numbers' term at least.
Economy is not the only catching up that China has accomplished. In space exploration technology, China hopes to send men to land on the moon in the foreseeable future!
Militarily China has evolved from depending on obsolete plane prototype loaned by Russia to learn from, to now designing its own radar-proof advanced super-sonic fighter jets; and other weapon creations helped by the Jewish state, no doubt.
Because they are from a race that have scruples, the only place they are going is up and up, to the stratosphere. Period. Checked. Do you wish to know more?
