Faith, is something which is difficult to explain.

A VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the problem Science has
with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.
But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella.
Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe

the World around you.
Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD?
Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes,Faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega
Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat.
But we don't have anything called Cold.
We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go
any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir.
Darkness is the Absence of Something
You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .
But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called
Darkness, isn't it?
In reality, Darkness isn't.
If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.
You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD
and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something
we can measure.
Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully
understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved
from a Monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of
course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and
Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor,
Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain,
Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable,
Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says that You have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly !
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

Some of you are supporting the proposal to cut govt subsidies... . some of you are not sure... so, please read the following... ...

Please note below is not my own finding. I receive in on email, and I am too tired to modify it to my own writings. Must be because of the world cup and not enough sleep But read the below and make your own decision.


PEMANDU and Idris Jala are actually right to say that cutting subsidies could lower Malaysia’s debts, but the cuts will ONLY BE successful if leakages from corruption are plugged first.

For example, govt. subsidies are being given to Independent Power Producers (IPP), so that they can supply electricity to TNB and earn profits. The govt subsidies to the IPPs are worth RM13 billion every year. These include cheaper Petronas gas supplied to them.

There is a 20-year interest free loan of RM 320 million given to SYABAS, the Selangor water company. SYABAS is also a privatized company, why does the govt subsidise it by giving it 20 years of loan, free of interest?

The total deficit the government need to cover amount to RM47 billion. The total subsidy is about RM74 million. Removing the subsidies will NOT help reducing the deficits a lot, but a lot of poor and middle-class Malaysians will be affected....

Details of subsidies are Social (RM42.8 billion), fuel (RM23.5 billion), Infrastructure (RM4.8 billion) and essential food (RM3.4 billion). If this amount includes subsidies for health services, then PEMANDU must review the market price of medicine and pharmaceuticals and compare that with the price the Ministry of Health is buying.
In 2008, global price for crude is about USD140 per barrel, and the fuel subsidy the government have to bear was RM17 million. Today the global price for crude is about USD70 per barrel, yet the govt. fuel subsidy is RM23.5 billion. Why? Have we forgotten that recently the govt has spent RM8 billion on purchasing armoured vehicles and tanks? And another RM3.4 billion for the submarine that could not dive? Idris Jala claimed Malaysia consume more fuel per capita than many countries. That is correct. But, has the government made serious effort to combat the fuel subsidy leakage?

Take fishing fuel subsidy in Sabah as example. There are 1,200 trawlers registered with the Fisheries’ department. However, there are only 200 real trawlers (physically present), this means there are 1,000 phantom trawlers enjoying fuel subsidies.

How sure is Idris Jala that similar phantom trawlers do not exist in Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia (LKIM) registry throughout the country? And the govt is telling you that it is subsidising RM12,900 per household per year! Have we also forgotten the Auditor-General' s Report that revealed the govt. actually spent RM500 to purchase 1 unit of screwdriver, or the same govt car being pumped to full tank twice in just 1 minute apart, or Port Klang Free Zone's project that has ballooned to over RM4.6 billion from original budget of RM1.1 billion?

Today, when you drive thru Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP), you pay RM 1.60. The govt said that you get 50 sen subsidy, else it should be RM 2.10. But, LDP was built with RM 1.42 billion, with a concession period of 1996-2030. And, the govt. is paying out RM 2.6 billion every year in subsidy to the highway company. So, if the govt subsidy is removed, you will pay RM2.10 each time you pass thru LDP. So the question is, who approved and signed the contract with the highway company? Who agreed with such toll rates?

In the UK, British students paid subsidised university fees. International students there paid fees between 8000-10,000 pounds per year. In Malaysia, local students took PTPTN loans of about RM21,000 for 3-year undergraduate studies. Foreign students paid only about RM15,000-RM17, 000 for the entire 3 year of studies. The govt. is subsidising foreign students so that we can become the education hub. Why use taxpayer's money to subsidise foreign students? Why foreigners can get subsidised medical care at govt hospitals?

And, it's not just govt is proposing to reduce our subsidies, we are actually already subsidising govt projects! Let's take ERL (express train from KL Sentral to KLIA) for example. Did you know that each time you use LCCT in Sepang, RM5 of your airport tax actually goes to subsidising the ERL? LCCT passengers like yourself who don't use ERL are subsidising the ERL train service! I am not bluffing you, this has been confirmed by the Finance Ministry. Why are you paying subsidy to something that you don't use?

The govt spent RM1 billion in sugar subsidy in 2009. But let's don't forget, Malaysia's sugar is now controlled by govt's BERNAS after Robert Kuok sold off his entire sugar monopoly. So, that RM1 billion subsidy is actually for BERNAS's profits, which of course means "come out from left pocket, go to the right pocket". But remove the sugar subsidy means most food prices will go up. Our sugar price may be lower in the region, but our fresh graduates salary is also among the lowest in the region!

And our food prices is already among the highest in the region. Just ask any tourist in KL if they find Malaysian foods are cheap or not. According to Idris Jala, the government debt stands at RM362 billion and rising and may reach RM1.158 trillion by 2019 and the possibility that Malaysia may go bankrupt after the Greece footsteps.

Actually this is against the statement made by Najib recently where he assures the nation that Malaysia is not affected by the Greece contagion. Why the contrast? Actually, it is true that Malaysia is one of the most subsidised nations in the world. But think again, where else in the world that you can find so many tolled roads in every corner of the city? Where else you can find foreign students subsidised in universities? Where else you can a govt spending billions here and there, and tell you that "we are going bankrupt" because of subsidies?

Last week, we were told that Malaysia is 10th most competitive country in the world. But has anyone told you that 2 days ago, Malaysia has been ranked 102 (out of total 152 countries) in terms of average Internet speed? We are 18 times slower than South Korea! (Thailand at 63rd, Philippines 90th, China 76th, Spore 31st, Taiwan 36th). Do you really still want your subsidies to be cut?

So The Unexpected Won Again!!!!!!

The results of the last season American Idol with Simon was announce this morning. A lot are far beyond satisfied. Some are even saying this is a repeat of last year winner. Well everyone is subject to your opinions and thoughts which I don’t have to agree or disagree upon. To be honest I don’t follow or even try to catch the show, I only watch them if I so happened to have it on, and I have to agree that all of them have talents. I don’t know about the two finalists, but eve they are the only two contestants left. They must far better than good.

Okay, so maybe many wanted Crystal Bowersox to win. But as you all know the winner is based on total amount of votes from fellow Americans, so let it be, there’s nothing you can do to change what the Americans has voted. Even if Hillary Clinton was tipped to win, but that black African American was voted, that means he is the winner. Okay, you might be wondering how American Idol is related to Democratic Parliamentary System. It’s very much alike, artist perform, voters vote by mobile. Isn’t it the same as politician campaign then “the rakyat” elects?

The results should be taken as a lesson learned the differences we can be make if we want to change. Every single votes counts. At least for those who doesn’t enjoy the special privileges rights, make the best of one of the rights given to you, the rights to exercise your votes.

For those who are still dissatisfied for the American 2009 and 2010 winner, take it as example how you can make a change. If were given the chance for Malaysian to vote for the American idol, I would still think that there would no difference in the outcome. Malaysia still have “tidak-apa” attitude, if I don’t vote, there is still many others would vote for him. The common excuse would also be, my vote only count as one, it will not make any different. The best excuse I came across today is “I have money to spent, who the government is I don’t care”

People, I advise you not be too comfortable at where you are now. The ballot box is a box where you can tick off your dissatisfaction. Think about the future, your generation in line to come and you are good enough try to change the perception of the elderly Forget about the pass of what you have been thought or exposed, there is no more such thing as “I don’t like the government but I am afraid voting for the opposition will ended up me being in ISA”.

Okay let me go back to the new American Idol winner. Congratulations. If America have deicded. Let the results speak for itself. Like i read somewhere today, " and that's what count... in the end... its not just about winning a competition/award, rather the results at the end of the day... the difference we make!"

Millions of Ringgit and Three Minutes of your Time is just not enough anymore...

First of all we are thankful for all the cash you already splash out. With that cash, many can be done and fixed. The people will definitely be grateful and thankful to you too.

But people even in the east, or urban are getting smarter. They are no longer dumb and can sell their pride away. Many say Hulu Selangor is the turning point for PR in the Peninsular. But not many realize that the lost of Sibu a Stronghold of BN is also a new beginning of PR to conquer the East which means taking their place in Putrajaya. PR can lose Selangor and also Penang if they are not careful, but if BN would to lose the east if matters are not taken into action, then it’s an overall success for PR.

Winning Sibu with a minimal majority with or without the help of postal votes indicates even the Eastern wants change. They are now more exposed to the surroundings, news, and etc. It’s just a beginning for PR to work harder and putting in more effort to try to convince the people that PR now is a united party.

The only set back now is, the people in Sibu might not see changes promised by the BN, but surely the PR will try to make some changes, because of limited fund without help from the Federal Government. The PM already said he would now have to reconsider all the cash that he was about to splash out, as you all know his speech mentioned “You know what I want, give me what I want, and I will give you want you want.” Maybe this was what made the people in Sibu very angry hence giving the win to PR.

This win could be a one timer, or it could be the start of history.

A word or two on RPK's Writing on The Begining of an End of Selangor PR Goverment.

By now, most of us should or rather already know why Anwar decided to become the advisor to the Selangor state government. Some were saying that this was another move as a power hungry person. But what most never realize is, if Anwar haven’t done so, Najib would have stepped in and Selangor would be a goner by now. So far Anwar has done enough, to protect the state from falling. But the question is how much Anwar can do more with the shit that is being thrown at him at the moment. Anwar himself knows very well, he cannot cover up for Khalid any longer.

Though the issue is with Khalid, Anwar Ibrahim faces a bigger catastrophe of his PKR MPs froggy. He himself knows that his party is made up of opportunist. Those who weren’t given the chance in UMNO and have the mind set of UMNO. That is his biggest problem. He needs not only to satisfy his MP, but he is worried that if he removes Khalid and replaces him a new crisis erupts.

With this RPK says “What Anwar fail to realize is that Selangor is already in crisis and if he doesn’t remove Khalid, a crisis will for sure erupt”

I don’t deny RPK is correct, but I am not too sure whether RPK realize the difficulty of being in Anwar shoes. He was in power, and the PM at that time just stripped him off everything. Because of this, I think Anwar have a soft sport inside and have problem removing his MP from power, and thus he got played out many times. If he cannot sack Zulkifli, what makes you think removing Menteri Besar would be easy?

Well so what can Anwar Ibrahim do? Call for fresh election when you are governing the state? I am not too sure Anwar have all the confidence to win back Selangor to begin with at this point of time. Make the MB step down, and replace with a new MB. Is there a good candidate? Azmin Ibrahim, Wan Azizah, or the axed MB from Perak Nizar Jamaluddin.???

A lot blame Manikavasagam for putting an ultimatum on the MB and is not the proper channel of doing things. But have you seen Sami trying to correct any UMNO leaders, or for the matter of fact Ling Leong Sik correcting the Prime Minister at that time. At least PR is living up to their manifesto though not all are clean, but at least they still trying says it all. Give them a break man, this is their first year.

Are you guys to comfortable and blinded with fifty two years of corruption. More of people like Mani, or Karpal Singh are needed in PR to ensure that, every mistake regardless whether its leader from PAS, Pakatan Rakyat or even DAP, they are there to raise their concern and dissatisfaction compared to people like Sami and leaders from MCA

So, what should or can Anwar do to safeguard Selangor?

Under Intense Pressure at the Age of 14 going on 15

Under Intense Pressure at the Age of 14 going on 15

Instead of being in a cyber café, or riding your mountain bike or BMX in the neighborhood, or maybe playing football in the field, you have to be called for a press conference, going to police station so that your statement could be taken, and on top of that your good friend just died on your lap. It not only makes your miserable, he pressure makes you recall back right to the very night you decide to take a ride in your friends car.

Although many are focus on the deceased, the cause of the death, the circumstances the family members have to go through, I see afar that. There are many things that’s not only annoyed me, but I am at the stage where disgusted is not anymore the word I can use. Hopefully in words it will be self explainable.

Immediately after the shootout happen. IGP says “If that is what you want, I can remove cops out from the streets” Hissamudin says “ Why if a boy get shot, you blame the police, but if the Police get shot, nobody blames the criminal” These are mature man and great leaders of the country speaking. How can you release such statement? If I as an adult can feel that the IGP is trying to protect the police from a mistake already happen, how are we going to respect the police force, and to make things even worst, how are we to teach our children to respect them. That is just being hypocritical.

I can agree with not politicizing the issue, but if Lim Kit Siang and others do not questioned the IGP to and force him to retire early, who the fucking hell is going to take the matter seriously. Waiting for an MIC to stand up and its already hopeless, you think a Chinese man will stand up for young Malay that has died in a police chase. These Chinese men will be sitting back and say, let the Malay leaders help, since is their own people. And you idiots out there can call DAP a racist party. At least he is trying to help instead of being a coward and sit back and be afraid to voice out.

I still stress this point very strongly. The boy is only 14 years old. Put yourself at the age of 14. Even if you are caught stealing from your neighbors mango tree by your parents, you shit bricks in your pants. You panicked and get frighten. This boy not only got caught by parents, but got caught by Police, with his friend dead on his lap, and he is being put through media, lawyers, and police. That is hell more lot pressure compared to stealing mangoes. If some of you still say he is lying, the man on the wheel chair who is one of the country renowned lawyers must have trained him very well to handle press conferences.

On top of that, now the police say his first statement and recent statement are not 100% accurate. This is based on the question of “when was the last bullet fired after the car crash or before the car crash?” This doesn’t make sense at all, do you think you would recalled, when you are trying to run away, your friend died while driving, and crash into a tree and he was lying on lap. What fascinate me more is, how in heavens name did a small boy manage to escapade more than four policemen, after he was kicked on the head while trying to escape from the back window???

I still remember watching Lethal Weapon where Mel Gibson was staring together with Danny Glover. There was this one scene Danny got into a shootout with thugs and what not and shot one of his son's best friends. Even though he was upholding the law, he felt so sorry and apologize to the parents, and even attended the funeral. I guess most of this scene only happens in the movies.

This Would Make Some People Very Angry.....

If you are wondering whether RPK is trying to pull a Tiger Wood's stunt, you are far from beyond correct. I wont deny they might look a little elderly, but I wouldn't mind spending my time with them, ushering the new year. I am sure my wife would allow me too, but I might get some nagging the day after or so. But what I am quite sure is, neither one of them will be blew up into pieces. By now you should already know they are RPK friends that was with him ushering the new year.Some says its a disgraces being Malay
Muslim Married man to do such a thing, but what I am quite sure is Marina would not be rushing out to his car, and smashing the windscreen. This has been published on RPK site openly. The possibility of him doing so is to show that Malaysia Police, and Immgirision is a piece of trash and a bunch of empty wessels making noises to show the nation that they are working. Such action not only shame the Police, but shame the Country. This also would make some people very angry. Below is not my original script, but i copied it from some where with edited names.

Though of the Day!!!!

The economy has not fully recovered. The government has run out of money and is trying to raise money via the controversial GST (goods and services tax). Crime is rampant. Corruption is rampant. The judiciary and the MACC? Raja Petra is in Excile. Teoh Book Hock Case is still on the run. The Altantunya Sharibu issue is not resolve. Well, you get the idea. And they are all fighting on the use of the word 'Allah'.
