Barisan Somua Naik Election Discussion

This is a piece of good news for Malaysians :
Malaysiakini goes free for one week (Mar 4, 08 2:02pm)
updated 9.20pm In view that the country is going to the polls on Saturday, Malaysiakini has decided to make its website free beginning today for the next seven days.MORE
-> Reaching out to all
-> Growth in readership

Meanwhile, let's enjoy something I found in my e-mail this morning.....

Once upon a time, in a faraway nation called Bolehsial, various organisational leaders of Barisan Somua Naik discuss the up and coming election.

Bapak Tidor: This is the last meeting we are going to have before I make my decision on who our candidates are. First of all, I would like to thank KY-Cream Air Liur of Parti Gelak or voluntarily backing out. You are truly gentlemen. Anyone else wants to back out? Think of the party, not of yourself.

C4-Jeep: I think Semmi Value should back out la.

Semmi Value: Apa Pasai? Why you think I should back out? Why not you?

C4-Jeep: You are a liability to Parti YindYind and Barisan Somua Naik la Semmi Value, accept it la.

Semmi Value: What do you mean liability? Give me proof?

Krissham: Ayo Semmi Value, our intelligence report say, we will lose almost 100% of YindYind votes if you still lead Parti YindYind. If you get lost, maybe we can bring it down to 60%.

Semmi Value: Bapak Tidor, don't listen to this two young punks la. Let me read this report just sent to me. After extensive intelligence gathering, we find that 20% of the YindYinds hated Semmi Value. Ha, only 20% la, where got 100%?

BodoBodoBodo: Hey Semmi Value I also got the same report la. Why don't you continue?

Semmi Value: Okay, I'll continue, 40% cannot stand to see his face and 35% will kill him if they were to meet him. 5% believe that he is a good leader. Ha, I still got 5% what?

Bapak Tidor: Come on la Semmi Value, you've been around for a long time already; you have made your money. You are even richer than me, so back out la. Think of the party la Semmi Value.

Semmi Value: Yes, I am richer than you but C4-Jeep, 2 deals only is already richer than me, why not ask him also to go? His submarine and Sohai, I mean Sohoi. Anunya also make him a liability what.

C4-Jeep: It looks like me, it sounds like me but it is not me. Kau diam, Semmi !

Bapak Tidor: I know that one, but he is from Parti MakNor, that is the difference. The Merr-yus will accept corrupt Merr-yu leaders, as long as they potong, its okay.

Semmi Value: Oh, kalu chunik potong kalu, berapa banyak rasuah pun takpa ka? Mana adil ini macam Bapak Tidor?

C4-Jeep: That is the way it is in this country Semmi Value. We all from Parti MakNor got immunity, you people, tadak potong punya, don't.

Semmi Value: No, saya akan tetap bertanding.

K-Vee: Adei Semmi Value, listen to them la, what they say is true la. Don't talk about justice all la, as if you are concerned about justice. This is not the place to be talking about justice la old man. We want to win. If that means you will be dropped then so be it.

Semmi Value: Dei K-Vee, ass, you just shut up la. You budak lagi la, you apa tau? What you want to be champions of the YindYinds ka? If I am forced to back out, I make sure you go down with me. Hey, Mahatin also cannot force me out la.

K-Vee: Tengok Bapak Tidor, tadak guna punya YindYind. Think of himself only. Just shoot him la Bapak Tidor, don't give chance. C4-Jeep, itu C4 lagi ada ka? Mari kita sekarang taroh itu C4 sama dia. Cilakak punya orang.

Krissham: Yes, Yes, Yes. Correct, correct, correct...

KY-Cream Air Liur: Semmi Value ah, enough la. So long already you in the cabinet. You want to stay until you die ka? What you think they will bury you in the Makam Pahlawan ka? Every time people curse you la. Now even your own race cannot stand you, give up la Semmi Value. Come join me la. We all retire. After all, we are not sure if we are going to win this time around. Barisan Somua Naik also not sure going to win or not.

Bapak Tidor: What are you talking about Ky-Cream? Why you say like that? Lu jaga lu punya mulut ah Apek.

KY-Cream Air Liur: No la Bapak Tidor, If everyone wants to deny us 2/3 majority, then all of them would not vote us la. We may lose more than just 1/3 la. Haiya, that one also cannot see ah?

Bapak Tidor: Maybe the Zhina or YindYinds la KY-Cream, not the Merr-yus la. The Merr-yus love Parti MakNor.

KY-Cream Air Liur: Are you sure ah Bapak Tidor? Now, even the Zhina and YindYinds are willing to vote Parti Yisleh if it is the only opposition available to them, don't you think that there would be Merr-yus willing to vote Parti Demo? Don't be foolish la Bapak Tidor. Until now still cannot get negeri Kerangdon despite all the dirty tricks. Who are majority voters in Kerangdon? Merr-yus la, some more what.

Bapak Tidor: Betoi ka dia kata tu C4-Jeep?

C4-Jeep: Jangan dengar cakap orang tua penyembur tu la Bapak Tidor. Orang Merr-yu takkan lupa Parti MakNor punya. Orang Merr-yu rela mati untuk Parti MakNor.

BodoBodoBodo: Ntah la, ada lojik jugak cakap KY-Cream tu. Memang la orang Merr-yu rela mati untuk Parti MakNor tapi rela ka dia mati untuk kita?

Bapak Tidor: Apa yang orang Merr-yu tak puaih hati lagi dengan kita? Kita bagi macam-macam kat depa, apa lagi dia mau?

Kata-noThing: Lu mau tau ka? Dia olang tengok sumua itu Parti MakNor punya olang besar manyak kaya. Bikin lumah banyak besar. Keleta 4, 5, sumua mahal-mahal punya. Dulu punya Merr-yu punya Parti MakNor punya olang tak buat itu macam. Kalau dia kaya pun, dia tak tunjuk sama olang. Sekalang punya Parti MakNor punya olang manyak sombong oh. Dia kaya, dia selalu tunjuk. Dia tak takot punya. Itu olang Merr-yu biasa tak suka la ini macam punya sombong punya olang.

BodoBodoBodo: Kata-noThing, lu pulak macam mana? Apa, salah ka dia beli rumah besar dan kereta besar? Apa orang Zihna saja ka buleh beli rumah besar. Bapak Tidor, letak Kata-noThing kat Tanjong tengok. Jom kita tengok orang Zihna suka kat dia ka tak?

KY-Cream Air Liur: Tak salah, tapi baru 2, 3 hari jadi menteri sudah kaya ka? Dia punya gaji berapa? Dulu jaga gate keretapi sekarang boleh bikin Istana, orang tak heran ka la Bapak Tidor? Your weakness ah, is that you think the Merr-yus are stupid. They are not la Bapak Tidor. Many have opened their eyes la. Many are not ignorant anymore.

Bapak Tidor: Alah, kalau kalah pun, kalah sikit saja. Close one eye lar (*Blink blink*)

KY-Cream Air Liur: Sorry ha Bapak Tidor if I say something. You have been sleeping too much, you have lost touch with reality.

Bapak Tidor: I think ah KY-Cream, you don't resign la. This year you stand in Bermatang Baoh, mau ka?

Semmi Value: Bapak Tidor, saya macam mana?

Bapak Tidor: Meeting adjourn la, semua balik dulu. Saya mengantok ni. Nanti lain kali la. zzzzz.

Suspicion On AllMalaysian Blogger Project by The Star

There is a new blog portal called AllMalaysian Blogger Project.



This portal is, managed by The Star, in association with Genting....



I feel very skeptical when it comes to projects organised by "The Star" concerning blogs and portals. A search through the net landed me in a wikipedia page about this tabloid:

" ..... The Star is majority-owned by the Malaysian Chinese Association, the second-largest party in the ruling Barisan Nasional alliance.... "

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star_(Malaysia)

This is the most important point taken from the project page that I wish to highlight with regards to my skepticism:

" ..... The AllMalaysian Bloggers Project (AMBP) is an undertaking of the folks behind the AllMalaysia.info website, all of whom believe strongly in the freedom of speech..... ".

Let's say, I have articles that are "NOT" pro-government, for instance, criticising certain ministers and policies from the ruling party of Barisan Nasional or open discussions about May 13. Will AMBP help me promote? Will the owner of The Star give privilleges to only pro-government blogs?

Again I stress, I do not trust what was being written on the "freedom of speech" area. Not to mention, there were numerous attempts and ideas to "control bloggers", "register bloggers", "classify bloggers" from Barisan Nasional Ministers. Some even called bloggers as liars and unemployed.

To exert control is the opposite of freedom of speech.

If the ownership of The Star as mentioned by wikipedia is true, that would mean AMBP is directly (or indirectly) controlled by a component in Barisan Nasional. With those "tough statements" mentioned by ministers, I am curious as to what extent this so-called umbrella site will be allowed to function. Is this an attempt from the ruling party to register, classify and control bloggers? I am asking with confusion, some words used were in ambiguity?

Of AllMalaysian Blogger Project might not be a friend of free speech, writes Hafiz No Shams in his highly recommended analysis of the portal.

-------------------------

Currently, I only believe in the Bloggers United project. A gathering was held on 19th May 2007.



As for my daily dose of socio-political articles, I would recommend these three blog portals:

SOPO Sentral
Malaysiakita
Malaysia Today

I am sorry for AMBP. There is too much suspicion.

Car Accident Case Closed: Kenny Sia Fulfils Social Responsibility


The wait is finally over.

Kenny Sia has eventually fulfilled his social responsibility as the most popular, automatically rendering him as one of the most influential bloggers in Malaysia as well.

Link: http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2007/05/trauma.php

Previously, many commentators in his blog remarked that he should not post the photos of a deceased in an accident, to respect the unfortunate who passed away in a car accident in Kuching. He was coincidentally at the scene.

For more information, you can read these in sequence before proceeding:
http://sagaladoola.blogspot.com/2007/05/not-unethical-pictures-of-car-accident.html
http://sagaladoola.blogspot.com/2007/05/consumerism-and-car-accident-pictures.html

and The Drifter's Rants blog entry: "The Kenny Sia Controversy"
http://knytan.blogspot.com/2007/05/kenny-sia-controversy.html

He remarked in the comments section in one of the links above, requesting me to check my mail:
http://sagaladoola.blogspot.com/2007/05/waiting-for-kenny-sias-reply-car.html

We discussed with details on the issue at hand and came to a conclusion. You can view his blog for the outcome, and get to see the "Public Service Announcement". The announcement proves that he acknowledges and undertakes his social responsibility to send the right message to his viewers and loyalists.

*~*~*~* Public Service Announcement *~*~*~*
Please note that kennysia.com has received permission from the involved's direct family to publish the photos of the car accident on this website.

kennysia.com wishes to advise anyone reading this entry that not everyone may wish to have these photos published as such. If you encounter a potentially fatal car accident in the future, please always ensure that the victims are safe first and foremost.
*~*~*~* Public Service Announcement *~*~*~*

In his mail, Kenny described at length that he indeed tried his best to save the victims involved with the skills that he had. Diagnosis was performed to decide whether the victims have died or otherwise. The photos were taken after rescuing all potential survivors of the tragedy.



With this, the confusion is cleared that he placed the importance of a rescue operation before photography.

Typically, I do not find the publishing of the deceased kid with protuding legs appealing. Since the family of the victims have given him the permission to publish (I have seen the letter), it would be acceptable as well.

My condolences to all related to the tragedy.

Previously, an issue was made out of this because many commentators (that includes me) dislike the fact that the combination of Kenny Sia's supporters' remarks and the content of this blog entry tend to justify that everyone in this world would be able to accept to see the pictures of their loved ones being photographed and published in such a way in a blog.

It is indeed untrue. As my blog is a socio-political blog, I feel the urge to note this to Kenny and he has agreed that everybody should be sensitive to anyone involved direct or indirectly in any form of tragedies. If those involved dislike the pictures of them or their loved ones to be photographed, then the photos should not be taken. Similarly, if those involved dislike such publishing, then their photos should not be blogged for all to see. This is an ethical thing to do. It is a human right of the deceased and its relations.

He has stated his agreement on the "sensitivity" part in his public service announcement as a token of social responsibility. Considering that a chunk of his viewers are teenagers of pre-teens, he has shown a good example in this case alone. Before we perform deeds in a tragedy, we should consider the consequences and emotions of all involved.

Kudos to him for this case alone.

P.S. Bear in mind Sagaladoola Blog is a socio-political, arts and art-music blog. The content is different than those of kennysia.com . Sagaladoola Blog had never written or interfere in kennysia.com issues except for this case, as there are issues of social ethics, rights and responsibility involved.

Next: Institute of Global Ethics, Princess Diana and the car accident tragedy. How does Diana and the Kuching car accident case tally? An analysis shall be provided....

Waiting for Kenny Sia's Reply: Car Accident Not "Unethical" Issue

On my article on Kenny Sia's pictures of the deceased ("NOT" Unethical Pictures of Car Accident from Kenny Sia), I received the comment below

Kenny Sia said...
Sagaladoola,I have sent you a message to your gmail. Please check.
Kenny
Monday, May 21, 2007 4:34:00 PM

I have since made a reply to Kenny. I am waiting for him to come back with a 'socially' responsible answer.

Hope he thinks ahead.....

COMING SOON .............

Consumerism and Car Accident Pictures of Kenny Sia's Blog

A continuation from my previous article:
"NOT" Unethical Pictures of Car Accident from Kenny Sia

Link: http://sagaladoola.blogspot.com/2007/05/not-unethical-pictures-of-car-accident.html

Please read the above before proceeding.

Let's see what the man has to say in his blog:
http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2007/05/trauma.php

-----------------

KENNY SAID: The guy is the real hero because...? He chanted some Muslim prayers to a dead girl? Please explain why you think the man holding the dead girl after we have already ascertained that they were no survivors is a real hero.

COMMENT:

This is the photo.

Link: http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/2007/20070518-3.jpg

Yes, he is a hero. He helped the victims in need, dirtied his hands while SOMEBODY took picture for his blog (consumerism).

-----------------

KENNY SAID: I took photos during my father's funeral as well. There is nothing wrong in that.

COMMENT: The pictures that he took wasn't funeral photos. Wonder why he answered it this way.

-----------------

KENNY SAID: There is no need to ask. It is a news item. Does newspaper need permission to ask when reporting the news? For God's sakes, the family is grieving you still wanna ask that type of question? And for your information, The Borneo Post posted the news item on their website first before I did. Do you think they asked?

COMMENT:
This is Borneo Post picture, no blood, after the accident. China Press posts similar pictures as Borneo Post.
http://www.theborneopost.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/00002004.jpg

This is Kenny's picture of a victim, with blood, leg and pain. Taken EXACTLY at the accident scene.
http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/2007/20070518-6.jpg

So, which picture will make the family suffer the most? You judge yourself. Are they the same genre of pictures? No, right?

He hasn't quite replied that if he were the one involved in the accident, would he be able to accept it that we are taking his picture provided he is dead.

If he say it is ok, then we can understand where he is coming from.

So far he is avoiding the question. Wonder why?

Is he doing it for consumerism? Is his blog getting money for hits? Will this kind of pictures generate hits?

-----------------

KENNY SAID: I helped before I took any photos.

COMMENT: Refer pictures above and read below on consumerism and whether he can accept his photo being taken in that way (read above).

-----------------

KENNY SAID: In this situation, if they are still alive they would be crying, or screaming, or making movement. If they are unconscious then they are in no danger of becoming dead. As long as the area is safe (ie, no danger of the car blowing up), it is perfectly alright to leave the unconscious inside the car.

COMMENT: An unconscious but STILL alive person would not be crying nor screaming nor make any move. An unconscious person MAY NOT be a dead person. Look at his answer. That is how he assumed they are dead. Guess what, he said he had first aid skills. He has not answered us on how he made the diagnosis on whether they are dead or otherwise. Wonder why?

Keep on snapping pictures for consumerism and blog after that.

He said he panicked, but the strange thing is, his pictures look perfectly well. Perhaps, panicky makes good pictures.

-----------------

KENNY SAID: You can name me EVERY SINGLE code of ethics that press photographers follow and I can prove to you that I followed EVERY SINGLE one of them. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF THEM.

COMMENT:
Let's read what comes from NickTay's blog:
http://the-reflector.com/?p=1838

Journalist Creed: http://journalism.missouri.edu/about/creed.html

Sentence 1: "I believe that the journalism which succeeds best — and best deserves success — fears God and honors Man; is stoutly independent, unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power, constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid.... "

Sentence 2: "I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by one’s own pocketbook is as much to be avoided ....... "

Perhaps, we should all read and understand what Sentence 2 REALLY means. Perhaps, Kenny should tell us that those pictures on his blog is not available for consumerism? From what I gather, Kenny gets some money from his blog, not sure, maybe a rumour. How did Kenny get the Samsung X something something to take the pictures by the way? You tell me.

-----------------

Ladies and gentlemen, should we capitalise suffering? Can we justify it is OK to take pictures of the dead (without the face, but with blood and body) draw hits for our site and use it for consumerism? Is it ethical to do so?

If you were involved in an accident, would you want to have such photo of yours taken and be used for consumerism in blogs?

The picture: http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/2007/20070518-6.jpg

Should we respect the dead and the family of the deceased? Is it tasteful or distasteful to do such a thing?

I do not know, you decide and judge.

The meaning of 'Consumerism':
1) A materialistic attachment to possessions
2) An economic theory that increased consumption is beneficial to a nation's economy

Link: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/consumerism

"NOT" Unethical Pictures of Car Accident from Kenny Sia

Some Commentators asked:

When you are dead in a car accident, do you want pictures of yourself taken and published in a blog? Pictures of everything, your leg, your car, your blood. Everything but not your face?

Ask Kenny Sia, he and some of his supporters said it is NOT unethical to do it. Does 'NOT unethical' means 'ethical'? Close but not really the same.

Read his account and comments:
http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2007/05/trauma.php

He was there during this accident:
http://www.theborneopost.com/?p=19021

For Example, I would assume that if I were to (touchwood, only an assumption, example) see them (Kenny Sia and supporters) involved in an accident, they would not mind their photographers being taken and put in a blog for everyone to see (provided they are dead and cannot be saved).

Would you mind (the photos and blog) if that happened to you?

Would you mind being photographed like this and published in a blog?
http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/2007/20070518-6.jpg

Please view the picture above before proceeding. He equate himself to the China Press journalist. Kenny Sia is a celebrity blogger in Malaysia.

It seems China Press only have photos of grieving members of the family and POST/AFTER ACCIDENT scenes. Kenny Sia has the live photos of the event. Taken when live saving is critical. Did China Press provide photos such as the above?

That is the difference.

Quotes from Spider-Man: With great power, comes great responsibility.

I say: With great authority (Technorati's words)/popularity, comes greater social responsibility.

Poor TM Customer Service: My 45 Minutes 'Interrogation' Experience to Lodge a Simple Report

The blogger A Voice was dissatisfied over the bad customer service and slow yet inefficient turnaround of TM when his phone line was not functioning for a week. Trying to lodge a report and getting it solved feels like living on a small deserted Pacific Island with no food and slim hope of getting saved.

Telekom, Does It Have To Be Sooo ... Complicated?

Upon reading A Voice grievances, other bloggers share their own dramas of their calls to TM customer hotline.

Complaints about TM is nothing new. Since its privatisation about 10 plus years back, their level of service is generally terrible. As for TMnet, users have to pay a hefty price (more expensive than First World) for using a poor Third World facilities.

I had several experiences that Streamyx isn't working. Each time i have to spend at least 2 calls.
First call, they will request you to check the Splitter (telephone and modem splitter). That is the tiny box that allows you to use the phone and modem at the same time. To do that, you will have to disengage the current call. Test the modem without the splitter.

Remember to plug back your splitter, otherwise you have to make a 3rd call.

2nd call is done when you realise your splitter is not spoilt. 5 TO 10 MINUTES to reach the operator, another 45 MINUTES to 'follow instructions' from TM. Almost one hour there.

Among which,

"Have you made sure the cable is plucked into the correct hole."

"Are you sure your network card is working? Explain why you think it is working, technically."

"Are you sure your configuration is correct?" I had to perform reconfiguration on the spot to prove it. Have to explain how I can be sure my reconfiguration is correct, technically. In short, I have made the troubleshoot on the spot.

"Are you sure your firewall is not blocking?" You have to explain to them why you are sure your firewall is not blocking technically.

By this time, you can almost sense that TMnet has placed a 'BIG FIREWALL' in their customer service and call center. Almost impenetrable. Pun intended, literally.

"Are you sure your modem is still working?" You have to explain why you think your modem is not spoilt. "How do you prove it? Which light is blinking and not."

"Are you sure your cable is not spoilt?" That you have to tell some lies because it is ridiculous to prove it on the spot

"Are you sure your all devices are configured correctly?" Prove it! I will tell them that in the device properties, I get to see the phrase "Device is working properly"".

I thank God Almighty that they do not ask me how sure am I the phrase "Device is working properly" shows that the device is really working ! I mean that is a Windows message. I can't do the work of an EnE (Electrical and Electronical) engineer.

Of course there are a lot more questions that I can't recall already.

That is to 110% ensure that it is not my computer and line's problem so that they can lodge an official report with a servicing level authority of 3 days. Note that I am using "110%" instead of "100%" to illustrate my point. Guilty customer until proven innocent.

As you can see, I will normally get the appropriate report after the ALMOST ONE HOUR "INTERROGATION". That is because I work in the IT line.

I know it when my modem is not working. When I call, I can be sure that the network or line is down.

As for my friends in the music, arts or other lines of work. They are not so lucky. I mean it to both sides of the operator and the caller.

When faced with such questions, they will Scream. You are asking someone from the Music line to do those IT stuff?

Well, sometimes, my friends request me to make the call. It is lucrative you know. I will normally ask for a treat.

Many dread the number 1300-88-9515. I don't even have to search for this number on the net, it is all in my head.

This is my experience.

The confirmed thing is after 3 working days, the problem will be solved (only for Streamyx). A call will be made to inform me.

Hahahaha, Good luck people. Happy calling TM.

Besides, do you have any other companies as choices if they give you such poor service?

No, right? Well, you have no other companies, but you have the other 2 choices. Use it as shoddy as it can be or be totally disconnected. Pick one.

I wouldn't blame the operating staff answering the TMnet customer calls. I tried to be patient, because I work in the "Operations" area of IT. There are well-defined standards and procedures that Call Center staffs have to abide. The method of asking was defined by the management.

Therefore I understand their position and took pity of them and with my maximum capability followed through the "interrogation" process.

If I were to scream, I would make those small salary earners suffer for procedures they themselves may even detest.

The problem is with the management. How could they let this happen? How could this happen (Taken from the article above):
"Those days one team can fix some 40-50 house a day. Now the Telecom team can only do at best 20 a day. We contractors just take orders when called on." He continued.

As usual, in any corporation, these executive staff will be unfairly "penalised".

Time to change the poor management !

The Racist Propaganda: Racism, Bigotry and Supremacism

Never before have I met a person as racist as a person by the nickname of Statsman. Statsman dislikes East Asians (Orientals) and tend to post racist remarks to put these people in a bad light. This Statsman, who said he is from multiple forums say that he has been made an impostor.

He likes to say that Caucasians belong to the superior race and Aryans are supreme than everybody in the lines of beauty which is quite untrue as beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

It is evident in certain forums around the net.

Luckily most forums do not tolerate racism and removed his racist items after me and another Malaysian lodged a report. My accusation on him remained intact on pages of those forums.

I happen to chance upon other websites where he propelled his "screwed up intentions" at racism. Some posts date back 2005. I have his biodata. However, I will not put it up unless it is necessary.

------------------

Ohh dear, Statsman, 49 year old then (2005), now should be 51, old man behaving like a child, terrorised Singapore forum.

SINGAPORE versus STATSMAN
http://hotspots.com/cgi/board/thread.cgi?id=91321&page=2

With his ridiculous and ugly words, Singapore was culture-shocked !

If Statsman is reading this, I dedicate this message to him: "Statsman, guess what, we have further information about you from somewhere,where you worked before and stuff. I mean you said it there, but we are notgoing to post it because we respect Topix, but not you."

------------------

Goodness gracious, look at this. Statsman , look at what he had posted here.

JAPAN and TAIWAN versus STATSMAN in Asia Times
http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1299&whichpage=3

Same racist rethorics as in Topix. Japan and Taiwan found that they can't reason with Statsman, which is downright opinionated. At the end of the day, Japan and Taiwan was so furious with the racism of Statsman that they equate him to as something equivalent to a zombie; a new unique species that requires biological research.

------------------

INDIA and CHINA versus STATSMAN in Asia Times
http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5000&whichpage=4

India was so furious that they scolded him and cast him as a pariah.

------------------

UK versus STATSMAN in Asia Times
http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1299&whichpage=5

UK was so sick of Statsman's war mongering and racism that the person decided it wastime to leave.
I feel like registering in Asia Times too.

------------------

MUSLIM versus STATSMAN in Asia Times
http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4550

Here, you can see him insulting someone by the name of Khalid by bashing on Islam.

------------------

MALAYSIA versus STATSMAN in Asia Times
http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5566&whichpage=6

Harimau is Malaysian. It means tiger in Bahasa Malaysia.

------------------

The amazing point is, such person can have that kind of persistency to post ill-gotten remarks and intentions in so many forums over the years despite being criticised by people of all nationalities, religions and ethnicities. Perhaps, that is what we call a reincarnation of Hitler in the new century. He supports Aryan-ism.

It is true that humans are made unique, as evident by the Statsman character. Sometimes people are unique and can be stupid in their own ways.

------------------

NEXT: What Statsman actually said (RACIST REMARKS 1 to 14). What Asia Times, Hotspots and other forum visitors say about Statsman.

Sagaladoola blog battles Racism !

Racist Insults: Hitler Holds No Prisoners, No One Is Spared

Ohh dear, Ladies and gentlemen. I am perplexed as to read what this Mr STATSMAN from multiple forums has to say about other races.

Here it is:

The visitors VENCINGETORIX, LES, LUF, RAF, RUSSIAN GIRL, QWERT, PHAN BOI CHAU, JENNA, YITZCHAKERA, "I THINK", STANLEY TAM, TOTEONE, IDIOT ONE among the many were downright angry with STATSMAN. One may ask why? Let's see what he said and perhaps that way, we can understand their anger.

RACIST REMARK 1 - Calling other races bastards
Statsman wrote:
..... Indians and the Chinese ) are BASTARDS..for your information !

My comment:
Another RACIST remark.... Statsman say Indians (his wife is Indian) and Chinese are Bastards. Respect thy wife.

I repeat "Indians and Chinese" ARE NOT bastards.

Hi Luf,
Before I knew Apu is Statsman, I really thought it is not proper to post these kinds of pictures for Apu until I read Statsman's last post. But anyway, I still feel sorry for the poor people in the pictures. I am sure their HOPE can only be to wait for next life cycle (is there another life cycle for the same person?) now that they have country-mates like Statsman. Statsman, please keep on being arrogant. Yeah, you have the most rich person in the world and the most beatiful girl in the world, that is enough.

My comment:
Hi qwert, thank you for the comments.

This is the 13th racist/bigot post from him. If you read page 64 to 67 you may be able to see his previous 12 RACIST REMARKS (labelled RACIST REMARK ).

We do hope that India will grow into a great economy one day. We do hope that India will have more middle class and everyone there can have better lives and purchasing power.

After all, Indians are human and we do pray for the best of all races.

For that to happen, racists like Statsman who discriminates other races (he is an Aryan although there are Dravidians in India) and the poor have to go. We have to speak against racism.

Besides that, he said he is a "Nobleman Brahmin". It is strange how can one be considered "Noble" if he has no pity for the poor in India.

Look at what he has written, he is calling these people losers:

My comment:
That's not what Indians said. That's what you Statsman Apu said. It is bad to stereotype another race.

-----------------------------------

CONCLUSION
Nuff said.. Racism (A TOTAL OF 14)

When we confronted him, he claimed that "Jap" is not a racist word. In fact, it is. According to http://www.askoxford.com "Jap" is an offensive statement to refer to the Japanese.

Other than the above, STATSMAN seems to have a habit of promoting Aryan-ism. He said a few times that, races marrying one another should be made Law. Thank God Almighty, we do not have such leader in Malaysia.

That makes you wonder, how does Aryan-ism and racial segregation works? Such principle experienced an implementation during World War II by Adolf Hitler himself. Millions were killed because of the LAW. Just like Hitler, it can be said STATSMAN is trying to spread a racist propaganda by twisting the facts of Darwin Natural Selection.

That apart, Statsman perhaps support Pan-Aryanism, which is another subset of the White Power/White Supremacist movement in America. I am wondering whether he is bald. That would make him look more like a skinhead. Maybe he IS a skinhead.

When I dig him up and found out that he tried to propagate such outdated bigot and racist propaganda in other forums (Asia Times and Hotspots), he made a denial in the original forum he is in. He said impostors set him up.

It is strange that he can say such a thing, when the impostors say similar remarks as highlighted above and share the same style of writing. Who would believe him?

VENCINGETORIX, LES, LUF, RAF, RUSSIAN GIRL, QWERT, PHAN BOI CHAU, JENNA, YITZCHAKERA, "I THINK", STANLEY TAM, TOTEONE, IDIOT ONE, if anyone of you is reading this, please post some comments.

Thanks and Regards....

NEXT: As Statsman pushes its propaganda, Sagaladoola may be forced to react by alerting Asia Times. Sagaladoola may consider copying and pasting the jokes what Statsman actually said in Asia Times and Hotspots in this blog.

Statsman, if you are reading this, I advise you not to push too hard. It may end up ugly.

Statsman Insults: Hitler Holds No Prisoners, No One Is Spared

Ohh dear, Ladies and gentlemen. I am perplexed as to read what this Mr STATSMAN from Topix forum has to say about other races.

Here it is:
http://www.topix.net/forum/world/russia/TT7Q5L3KHSQNAQP72

The visitors VENCINGETORIX, LES, LUF, RAF, RUSSIAN GIRL, QWERT, PHAN BOI CHAU, JENNA, YITZCHAKERA, "I THINK", STANLEY TAM, TOTEONE, IDIOT ONE among the many were downright angry with STATSMAN. One may ask why? Let's see what he said and perhaps that way, we can understand their anger.

The Racist Propaganda: Racism, Bigotry and Supremacism

Never before have I met a person as racist as a person by the nickname of Statsman. Statsman dislikes East Asians (Orientals) and tend to post racist remarks to put these people in a bad light.

He likes to say that Caucasians belong to the superior race and Aryans are supreme than everybody in the lines of beauty which is quite untrue as beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

It is evident here:
http://www.topix.net/forum/world/russia/TT7Q5L3KHSQNAQP72

Luckily Topix does not tolerate racism and removed his racist items after me and another Malaysian lodged a report. My accusation on him remained intact on page 66 of that page

I happen to chance upon other websites where he propelled his "screwed up intentions" at racism. Some posts date back 2005. I have his biodata. However, I will not put it up unless it is necessary.

------------------

Ohh dear, Statsman, 49 year old then (2005), now should be 51, old man behaving like a child, terrorised Singapore forum.

SINGAPORE versus STATSMAN
http://hotspots.com/cgi/board/thread.cgi?id=91321&page=2

With his ridiculous and ugly words, Singapore was culture-shocked !

If Statsman is reading this, I dedicate this message to him: "Statsman, guess what, we have further information about you from somewhere,where you worked before and stuff. I mean you said it there, but we are notgoing to post it because we respect Topix, but not you."

------------------

Goodness gracious, look at this. Statsman , look at what he had posted here.

JAPAN and TAIWAN versus STATSMAN in Asia Times
http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1299&whichpage=3

Same racist rethorics as in Topix. Japan and Taiwan found that they can't reason with Statsman, which is downright opinionated. At the end of the day, Japan and Taiwan was so furious with the racism of Statsman that they equate him to as something equivalent to a zombie; a new unique species that requires biological research.

------------------

INDIA and CHINA versus STATSMAN in Asia Times
http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5000&whichpage=4

India was so furious that they scolded him and cast him as a pariah.

MUSLIM versus STATSMAN in Asia Times
http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4550

Here, you can see him insulting someone by the name of Khalid by bashing on Islam.

------------------

MALAYSIA versus STATSMAN in Asia Times
http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5566&whichpage=6

Harimau is Malaysian. It means tiger in Bahasa Malaysia.

------------------

The amazing point is, such person can have that kind of persistency to post ill-gotten remarks and intentions in so many forums over the years despite being criticised by people of all nationalities, religions and ethnicities. Perhaps, that is what we call a reincarnation of Hitler in the new century. He supports Aryan-ism.

It is true that humans are made unique, as evident by the Statsman character. Sometimes people are unique and can be stupid in their own ways.

Tutorial on "How to get the IP of a blogger"

A blogger by the name of SBennit has given a guide on "how to get the IP of a blogger" in the Malaysia Today comment section of the article "You condone a Mafia in your website?"

I am not very sure whether it works but here it is.
_______________________________________

SBennit wrote:

I'll just do it. I'll give the tutorial anyway as I think some others here might be interested to know as well:

First, let’s sign on to the website, Google.com. Right now you should be on the “Classic” homepage and signed out of any username you may have with Google. Click on “Personalized Home” at the top. More options on the homepage are featured here. Click on “Make it your own”. If that isn’t available, go to the right of the page and click “add stuff”. If you clicked “Make if your own”, check out the right side of the options list. That’s pretty interesting…there are tons of News and Sports options I can choose that are specifically related to whichever part you are from. Choose “the entire collection” link at the top. This is the page that comes up if you chose the “add stuff” link before. Here, you are taken to a literal mall of features one can choose for their personalized homepage. On the left side of the page, click the “tools” option. Scroll down the list of options to IP Address lookup.

Still with me Qua Vadis. You might see this popup “You are about to add a feature that was not created by Google. Preference settings and other information you enter in order to use this feature may be available to the feature’s provider. Do you wish to continue?” Click OK anyway!
Now go to the main Google page and play with the e IP Address Lookup box. Put in your ip address there and click. What do you see.

Now take my ip address 210.8.139.62 and insert in the box and click. Click also on “more info”. A new page pops up with options you can choose to explore about my IP address. Take some time to check out the various options such as “address information” or “domain owner info”.

That’s it…YOU ARE DONE.

If you find the above information useful. Please thank me.

Interesting Bangkok Local Snack

I visited Bangkok and visited the Sukhumwit area. There are many stalls by the road side and we chanced upon one that sells some local delicacies snack.



Do you see something that resembles your Twisties, Cheezels or Pringles? Hehehe ....

Let's see, in the middle, the one with the long legs is actually "Something" that resembles a small frog. There is a cricket, a cocoon or a worm, a mini lizard and of course the locust.

All of them fried !!!

Me and my friend actually wanted to buy the locust only. The seller asked us whether we wanted to mix. As it was night, and we were a little drunk, we agreed.

Question, did we try any of those? We tried the locust. It is crunch, something like eating a crunchier version of french fries. The taste is okay only. As for the rest of the snacks, we were not adventurous enough, especially when it concerns the frog. We can still see its eye and face.. hahahaha.. imagine putting that thing into your mouth ..
