Another Horrible Death!


This is our country...

Tan Shu Fang, a bright 17 year old girl died a horrible death! She was the latest victim of the rampant crime in this country. She died a victim of Snatch Thief and how heartbreaking to read news such as this. Shu Fang is a straight As student of SMK Mutiara Rini 2 in Johor Bahru. Read Her Story HERE.

And now even snatch thief carries Gun! Read the Story HERE. And another death from crime HERE and these are only reported stories from the media and you can be very sure that there are many more such crime stories not reported.

The government must take responsibility for all the distressing deaths that is happening in this country of ours, we have record breaking deaths from traffic accidents, from diseases of H1N1, from crime and from deaths under detentions! And there is Teoh Beng Hock and Kugan and many many more! Fcuk!

These deaths from traffic accidents and crime and a big share of the deaths in custody are all related to the Police department that is the PDRM. The people have repeatedly called for a change in the leadership and management of the PDRM and as usual, our government don't give a damn about the grievances of the people and has continued further extension of the services of the same Chief of Police (IGP).

The present IGP has served for so many years and way past retirement age and yet his services are once again extended upon by the new Prime Minister. Despite the many accusations of impropriety and accusations in his conduct as the Chief of Police.What is their problem?? I really cannot comprehend!?

What is the problem with this UMNO led government? Or is this the behaviour of a disintegrating dynasty?

Battle of the Internet


"There is no freedom without freedom of information. There is no freedom of information without internet freedom"
- Freegate -

China is a bad example of human rights and freedom and this stems from a fear of losing control by the communist government. And as China progresses, the call for freedom will ever be greater and this had developed into a constant battle in cyberspace with the authorities trying to block the free flow of information to more than 300 million internet users.

This year the autocrats will celebrate the 60th anniversary of communist rule in China and it will also be the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square democracy protest as well as the 10th anniversary on the crackdown of the Falun Gong movement. A grand celebration has been lined up for the National Day of the 60th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China next week which falls on the 1st of October.

There seems to be some kind of internal strives in within the communist party as earlier this year it seems to give way and allow more room for dissent online due to the rise of blogs and online forums which is actually impossible to control. Than in an about turn it started to block Facebook and Twitter, China also blocks site like You Tube and Wikipedia and have sometimes allowed and than to block again in an inconsistent pattern. China blocks access to a countless websites as part of filtering system critics called the Great Firewall.

And there rise “Freegate” and VPN (Virtual Private Network) in the battle with the “Great Firewall” of China, Freegate is a non-profit organization in the fight against repressive regime and propagates freedom of information. The Vision statement listed in their website states “The Great Firewall will be taken down as did the Berlin Wall”. Freegate provides a host of free programs and tools which allows users to circumvent the filters of block used by government and leads you to the free world of cyberspace. Yes!

You must check out Freegate HERE just in case our governments which have been contemplating the use of filters to curtail our freedom. You might have to use Freegate one day… hahaha.


"I just want to say that FREEGATE saves our life in IRAN. because during election days there was no communication way for us in IRAN and freegates opened this way to us. 
So many Thanks to freegate men.
"I LOVE YOU"

Malaysia-Today under Attack!



The Malaysia - Today Website is under Heavy Attack! 

Yes they have sent in the Decepticons, they are not blocking or using filters to block. They now have sent in their commandos in to attack. They are not blocking you this time but going on the attack and there will be damages as this is now an internet war.

And using tactical attack known as DDOS attack. The DDOS or Distributed Denial of Service Attack in an attempt to jam up or crash your servers and to try to plant in trojans  and viruses and sucking out the life from your server. There are many variations and combination to the DDOS and are not easy to defend. It basically uses thousands of computers to attack you in a single command thereby flooding your server and eating up the bandwidth and there are many variations of methods today.

Looks like these guys are quite amateurs as the server is still standing, and are just attacking intermittently and in sporadic intervals to jam it up.Well you have to just keep trying to access the website in intervals, just try to log in every hour, and you will get in when the attack stop. I was informed the attack is in 4 hours interval.

In DDOS attack a Firewall is quite useless and will require more advanced front end equipments and software to block or filter identified IPs address and to recognize and allow regular incoming ips and genuine visitors.

This is an illegal act in the advance countries and a violation of laws and or internet laws.And depending where the servers are located and if it is located in countries with internet laws, you could basically report a criminal violation of rights.

Looks like MT will be down temporary or intermittently, don't worry, you can't completely or permanently shut down freedom of speech and the internet but one problem MT could faced are higher financial cost in protecting their servers as more manpower and expertise will be needed to design, program and monitor the system as well as new equipments and other resources.

Humanitarian Crisis in Malaysia?


Malaysia in a Humanitarian Crisis?
Today six more migrants die in detention!

Malaysia will soon be famous for "Death" with the numbers of people dying in detention. The nation made world headlines with the death of Teoh Beng Hock and till todate there has been no outcome from police investigation although an inquiry is being held and is on going.

It looks like the authorities are at a loss at how to resolve all these problems which  may now be in a crisis situation. The numerous  and repeated complaints and reports made by international and local humanitarian institution had fallen on deaf ears and it seems the government is still in denial or either in defiance as no solutions or any attempt to correct this inhuman situation have been presented.

Pakatan Needs A Unified Command



A Unified Command and Unified Action are Prerequisites for Success and this are fundamentals of  the Tao of the Military as from the Grand Duke Jiang Ziya, the Supreme Strategist.

"Unification approaches the Tao and touches on the spiritual, its employment lies in subtlety, its conspicuous manifestation lies in the strategic configuration of power, its completeness lies in the leadership." said the Duke.

The Duke advises that in administering a State (King Fisher V),  the ministers and officials must be truthful and neither irritating nor troublesome to the people.

The Duke further advises to "Elevate the worthy, and place the unworthy in inferior positions. Choose the sincere and trustworthy and to eliminate the deceptive and devious."

Pakatan Rakyat in Selangor must show a unified command and that the leadership must be able to reign in all in unity (Completeness lies in the leadership). And in that unity of command, act to quickly eliminate that who is deceptive and devious. Remember do not be dilatory, as dilatoriness overcomes respect one will be destroyed.

The Duke, in his teachings had meticulously warns against the danger of trusting villains as in the "six thieves and seven harms" (The philosophy of the six thieves and seven harms has on its own developed to famous poems and poetry over the years and are popularly heard in theatrical plays and opera even today).

Malaysians Fed-Up with Corruption!

Headlines reported in the Sun papers today and some points extracted below:

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and other "reforms" introduced by the government has so far been ineffective in fighting corruption in the country.

"Malaysians are fed-up with the status quo and the unbearable effects of corruption in the country,"

Transparency International president Datuk Paul Low told a press conference after presenting the country report in the Global Corruption Report (GCR) 2009.


Low pointed out that the controversial death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock in July, in itself raises questions on the MACC's professionalism and hints of abuses of powers in the way it conducts investigations.

“Until drastic action is taken to separate the cozy relationship between government, business and politics, the anti-corruption effort will remain no more than a token gesture,” he stressed.

In the Global Corruption Barometer survey 2009 released in May, when asked if their government was effective in fighting corruption, 76% of Indonesians said “yes” while 70% of Malaysians said “no.”

There should be a separation in the relationship between the Government, business and politics in the fight against corruption, according to the Global Corruption Report.

XXXXXXX

What does the PM Najib Razak has to say about this report and will there be any effort to revamp the Anti Corruption Commission and make it totally independent? 

Some say that it will be brushed aside as usual or pretend to say some things and formed another committee that takes forever. 

And there are those that believe that the BN government must be in total control as they had already seized all powers long ago and there are no longer anymore independence in any of our institutions.


And yet there are those that say that the opposite are true as the new administrations has lost control of these institutions and the powers are now in the hands of the appointed heads and that they cannot be removed and their services are endlessly extended.

Terengganu's Khalwat Troopers

Saw this report as below in the Straits Times Singapore and wondering what is going on up in Trengganu? Is there any privacy for any couples to go out anymore?

KUALA TERENGGANU - THE Terengganu PAS Youth wants to mobilise its vigilante squad to check on the rising cases of khalwat (close proximity) in the state.

Its chief, Mohd Nor Hamzah, said the squad comprised volunteers from the Youth Welfare Association - Perkerti, a non-governmental organisation under the party's purview.

'The squad can scrutinise areas deemed 'hotspots' where khalwat cases are rampant,' he said here on Tuesday. 'We have details on these areas.'

Mr Mohd Nor said the intention was not to nab the offender or for the squad to act as enforcement officers.

'We would merely advise Muslim couples that it's morally wrong to commit khalwat,' he said.
