aliens in KL?

And we're not talking about the Bangla's and the Indons. We're talking about green Martians from out of space!

The sequence of pictures above were taken from a video-clip claimed to be taken somewhere in Kuala Lumpur. With a voice of a young boy and another elderly person talking in Mandarin, the 18 seconds clip dated Aug 17, 2006 managed to capture the movement of an Unidentified Flying Object hovering above the condominiums for several seconds before zooming off in a flash of light.

Suich sightings are rare especially in this part of the world. To UFO believers it is a sight to behold while to sceptics it could be a prank. True or otherwise, its for you to judge.

p/s: Are you hearing the X-Files theme song in your head now?? :)

what a bloody future

FROM high profiled murders to parang wielding robbers. This is Malaysia.
A country where robberies and murders was something foreign now seems to be the way of life. What about the frauds and white collared crimes which have not been published? The list is longer than it seems.
And when the police capture the ‘culprits’, most often then not, are accused without proper evidence thus seeing them walking out of the courtrooms as free men. Whether the decision is fair and just is left to be seen but sadly why does a country, which boasts to have mega infrastructure and multi million dollar investments, cannot conduct a proper crime scene investigation.
The police have been in the limelight for the wrong reasons and can they be blamed? There are always two sides to the story but none of this will happen if the public are well fed- monetary.
This brings back to the discussion of offenders, mostly jobless, venting their frustration towards a flawing system thus profiting from an easier route. It is a known fact the rich are becoming richer while the poor are becoming poorer. High cost of living, even in small town like Muar, with prices expected to increase even more next year (Petrol is currently priced at RM1.92 but is rumoured to increase at RM2.01 come Jan). However, returns are still the same if not less and pays are hardly increased.
They say the government is bullish about its financial status and that the country is doing well in the stocks. Yet how come many people are struggling to find ends meet. It’s either Malaysians are spending unnecessarily or the cost of living in this country is becoming ridiculously high.
One wonders what the government plans to do with the current state of living. If nothing is being done, expect more crimes by a bunch of disgruntled people. Can you blame them for trying hard to feed their families? You decide.

King of the Road

SO it seems the people has spoken.
Works Minister Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu responded in the affirmative when asked if our roads are at par with foriegn countries. Nevertheless, NTV7's just conluded news ran an SMS poll which read only a mere 8% agreed with Samy's sentiments while the rest believe our roads need a lot more work.
In defence to the minister, it was after all an SMS voting system and it is not know how many respondents voted in the first place.
Nevertheless, the road issue, like many others, have received much criticism from the users.
The motorcyle lane along the Federal Highway is filled with holes. The Middle Ring Road 2 also faces the same issue.
What about cracking bridges and sinking schools? What about poorly design roads that only cause deaths and nothing else.
Surprisingly, heavy vechicles contribute to much of the road damage and yet big bikers are forced to fork out RM400 per year in road taxes. Wonder how much mess can an 800cc bike do to the streets of KL?
Sigh!

the naked truth- sex did kill

A long meeting followed by several explainations which kept most of the Malay Mail staff at ease- at least for now.
Except for the immatured magistrate turned magazine cum newspaper editor wannabe M Zul and his good ol' mate 'Sick' Simon Burgess being suspended, the other staff will carry on doing what they do best without fear.
Burgess is said to have left Malay Mail. Very typical for a Mat Salleh to pull such a cheap stunt only to dissapoint the hands that feed 'it'.
Yes, as announced the Weekend Mail has been suspended till further notice. As for the content for the Malay Mail, it will still be the same despite being headed by both of its current deputy editors for now.
Traditionalists still believe the Paper That Cares can thrive to be at it's best, ie by making it into a lunch time paper (hits the news stands by 12.30pm) and capatilise on the crime, local council and sports stories.
However, all this will only fall on deaf ears as the powers to be still mantain the magazine type approach, which surprisingly doesn't get the support of many writers.
Fortunately (or unfortunate to some), there will be no more 'juicy' stories or campus babes to look at from now on. All this no thanks to the uncreative minds of two lousy editors.

The Man Who Sold The World

the naked truth- sex kills

AT times I wonder if I am a harpist.
Not that I play the harp brilliantly, but I feel the articles are being repeated month in month out.
However this goes to show that such issues just go round and round like a wheel with no brakes attached.
Remember the earlier postings of cream-less cracker (April 2006) and cracker up the biz, cream up the sex (May 2006)? Well this posting has the combination of both.
The ‘new’ Weekend Mail have buried itself six feet under with a humiliating cheap stunt of headlining its ‘Lets Talk About Sex’ story in the Nov 5-6 issue.
Almost 80% of the paper was purely on sex -literally- and even caught the attention of deputy prime minister Datuk Najib Abdul Razak, citing it as ‘memalukan’.
“Ada cerita, yang dulu tak tahu pun sekarang dah tahu,” Najib was quoted on air during TV3’s Bulletin Utama during his address to the Federal Territories UMNO convention over the kinky stories published.
It is no secret the Malay Mail have been doing rather badly in its sales ever since the new take over. However, the Weekend Mail, ‘headed’ by a Mat Salleh; Simon Burgess, is said to make more sales compared to the Sunday Mail. But are they so dumb to realise the Weekend Mail is sold over two days??!?
Nevertheless, the new yuppie editor M Zul has got a lot of explaning to do. And he ought to be worried of what to expect next. While The Malay Mail is no stranger to such sanctions (as the paper once operated for a week despite not having its licence renewed during Ahiruddin Attan’s tenure as editor), this is certainly a blow below the belt and the paper ought to take the lashing for such lame stories.
It is indeed surprising the Campus column, which mainly portrays mostly busty young girls from local higher learning institutions, be allowed. The questions posed are very ‘notti’ in nature. None of them are model material and one begins to wonder if those upstairs have a fetish over busty young lasses. Hmm…
Also, the news reporters who were party to the stories are presumed to be stoned as their by lines were coupled with degrading words, simply portraying them as glorified whores.
A mistake done by one party but the effect leaves many with a sour taste. Those in the sports and entertainment desks are not too happy, unlike the news desk folks who were laughing and joking while watching the news, despite the fact the paper was condemned by the country’s number two man on national television.
Deep down, the matter could just wear off and the editors could go back to their magazine like antics. On the other side of the stick, the Mat Salleh could be suspended while the Weekend Mail could be put off the stands for a month or so.
Will the Paper That Cares be finally Taken Care Of? We shall find out in days to come.
