7 Years Ago


Above is an ads which I found it and I think it is very meaningful.

I still remember vividly on this day. It was a very sunny day and I was sitting in front of the car seat and was tuning into MY FM. When the news 9am announce saying that NYC World Trade Center (WTC) was attacked by terrorist, I was so shocked! So does my mum. How on earth got such an inhuman maniac to caused such thing. The northern facade tower was crashed by American Airlines Flight 11 at 846am (Eastern Time). After I got off to grandma's house, I quickly rushed into the living room and grabbed the remote and turn into CNN and the newscaster were talking and you can see the picture clearly how the plane crash into that building. 17 minutes later, at 903am, a second team of hijackers crashed United Airlines 175 into the South Tower, which collapsed and disintegrated at 959am. You can see it's like a giant falling down. And you could see everyone stay nearby that area are covered with dust and people are searching for survivors. My heart was suddenly pain and was pity with those people. How could this thing happened to Americans? I just pray hard there were survivors. The whole day, CNN is reporting and showing the pictures of this. It's really sad and I do understand they were angry about it.

At the time of the incident, media reports suggested that tens of thousands might have been killed in the massacre, as on any given day upwards of 50,000 people could be inside the towers. Ultimately, 2,749 death certificates were filed relating to the 9/11 attacks, as of May 23, 2007. Of these, 1,614 (59%) were identified from recovered physical remains. 343 of these deaths were New York City Firemen, 84 were Port Authority Employees, of whom 37 were Police. Another 23 were New York City Police. Of all the people who were still in the towers when they collapsed only 20 of these people were pulled out alive. Morgan Stanley was the largest tenant in the WTC, with approximately 2,500 employees in the South Tower and 1,000 in the North Tower.For the following 8½ months, the WTC site cleanup and recovery continued 24 hours a day and involved thousands of workers.

Besides WTC, the other hijackers took over American Airlines Flight 77 and at 937am, the jetliner was deliberately crashed into the west side of the Pentagon. All 64 people on the airliner were killed as well as 125 people who were in the building. The impact of the plane severely damaged the structure of the building and caused its partial collapse.

Then the fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Somerset Country, Pennsylvania, after some of its passengers and flight attendants attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington DC. There are no known survivors from any of the flight.

Although sadness and pain always brings us down. This is a song from the motion picture, World Trade Center that I would like to share with you guys out there. When I first listen to it, the feeling is that it encourage everyone to stand up. No matter what happens, just keep on moving. It's really beautifully created by Craig Armstrong.



Before I end this chapter, this has become part of the history and also reminds to the world that everyone of us should stand up and fight against terrorism. I also do wish that Americans could be strong again and those who died, we will always and deeply miss you there. May God Bless You and also Americans.

Malaysian's Report on Human Rights

Monday September 8, 2008 MYT 7:51:26 PM

NGOs submit report to UN on human rights here

By SHAHANAAZ HABIB

KUALA LUMPUR: A coalition of 56 NGOs calling itself Comango has submitted a 10-page report to the United Nations High Commissioners for Human Rights in Geneva saying that after 51 years of independence, human rights in Malaysia remains a big concern.

They said there was still politicising of race and religion, racial discrimination, violations of freedom of religion, denial of sexual rights and more sophisticated methods being used to stop freedom of assembly.

They also expressed concern over the privatisation of the healthcare system, the rising violence and abuse against women and children and detention without trial.

Furthermore, they called for a number of Acts to be reviewed or repealed including the Internal Security Act, the Official Secrets Act and the Printing Presses and Publications Act.

They also asked for the Article 121 (1) of the Federal Constitution to be restored to its original form because 1988 amendments have made the Cabinet “all too controlling and powerful” and had taken away the power of the courts to review the decisions of ministers.

They said the National Economic Policy (NEP) was supposed to be a “temporary” special measure to reduce and eradicate poverty and restructure society meant to end in 1990, but the continuation of this discriminatory policy since then was not justified.

They questioned the equity figure released by the Government, saying that the feeling is that it does not accurately reflect the amount of corporate equity ownership in the country by ethnicity.

The Comango report is part of the Stakeholders Report which would be used in the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) by the UN Human Rights Council.

The Malaysian Government will be in Geneva next February to answer questions on what the NGOs had raised and to showcase what it has done to fulfil its obligations and commitment to human rights. At a Comango press conference, Honey Tan -- representing Empower -- said restrictions on the freedom of assembly have morphed into a more sophiscated form with the police now going to the courts.

“Previously, the police would crack down physically but now they are using the judiciary to suppress peaceful freedom of assembly.

“They are getting court orders and injunctions to stop people from attending rallies. If you breach the court order, that is actually contempt of court.

“This can have very serious repercussions,” she said.

On sexual rights, Comango also called for a repeal of Sections 377 (a) and (b) of the Penal Code so that anal and oral sex would no longer be criminal acts if they are consensual.

Andrew Khoo Chin Hoo, representing the Bar Council human rights committee, said there was selective prosecution and questioned why Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was being charged for sodomy while former Health Minister Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek was let off for oral sex.

“Both are offences under the same Act,” he said, and noted that while Anwar denied he had committed sodomy, Chua had admitted to oral sex by saying that he was the man in a sex videotape.

“The Government chooses its victims and who it wants to charge,” said Ivy Josiah, executive director of the Women’s Aid Organisation.

Josiah said human rights as a whole had improved in the country, and there was a consciousness among Malaysians that they have a say. More people were now coming out to demonstrate because they were no longer afraid.

The press too, she said, was freer and more balanced now in covering even sensitive issues.

“The culture is changing. There is more freedom than five years ago,” she said.

The full Comango report would be available from Tuesday onwards at www.empowermalaysia.org or www.suaram.net and www.wao.org.my.

Group: Human rights better now

KUALA LUMPUR: While human rights in Malaysia has shown some improvement from five years ago, there are still concerns to be addressed 51 years after independence, says Comango, a coalition of 56 non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

In a 10-page report to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva, Comango said there was still politicisation of race and religion, racial discrimination, violation of freedom of religion, denial of sexual rights, and a more sophisticated method used to stop freedom of assembly.

It also expressed concern over the privatisation of the healthcare system, rising violence and abuse against women and children, and detention without trial.

It called for a number of Acts to be reviewed or repealed, including the Internal Security Act, Official Secrets Act, and Printing Presses and Publications Act.

The report is part of the Stakeholders Report to be used in the Universal Periodic Review by the UN Human Rights Council.

3 Years Suspended???? Better RIP FOREVER!!!!!

WTF!!!!! ONLY 3 YEARS SUSPENDED???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? Me and Penang CM also have the same point of view. This kind of things that Ahmad did recently are very hurtful towards everyone especially the Chinese community and other races I guess. Even the Malays also think that Ahmad should serve a HEAVY PUNISHMENT. 3 years is just a kacang putih (piece of cake) for him man!!!! As we know that human being normally take the advantage of certain things. Maybe some people think that 3 years are too little for them so they might as well commit the same thing AGAIN or I can said, they sacrificed themselves to obtain or to achieve their goal. Who knows?

In my opinion, Malaysian's politicians nowadays are very IMMATURE and RIDICULOUS when coming to settle problems. Even Ahmad's supporter / member tore the Gerakan President's picture. Thanks to the cameraman who recorded this incident. Besides that, the Parliament is seriously like a circle. Inside a circle, there would be clowns, monkeys, lions, magician and so on. So I guess some of us take this like an new entertainment channel hosted in the Parliament. Sooner or later, it will become a laughing stock among the world I mean just Asian Region ONLY. A Great Publicity right?

SORRY, The Hardest Word?

Do enjoy the MTV by Blue Feat Elton John, Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.



Sorry seems to be the hardest word

What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there?

What I got to do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when its all over? (babe)
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's so sad so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

What I do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

(Elton John)
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad sad situation
And it's gotten more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

Yeh.....sorry
Nah.......
Sorry

What do I do to make you love me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
Yeah.....What do I got to do?
What do I got to do?
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Is it hard to apologize to everyone? I've been questioning myself, why muka tebal still don't want to apologize. I think our beloved media, fella reporters did not misquote anything wrong for god sake!!!! IMPOSSIBLE 10 reporters got hearing problem EXCEPT or MAYBE 1 out of 10 man!!!!

Here are something which I was thinking.....

1) This was reported in the THE STAR....

Ahmad also blamed the reporter of a Chinese daily for twisting his (Ahmad's) words for his own agenda. (WHO THE HELL SO FREE TO TWIST THE STORY????? YOU THINK MEDIA ARE SO FREE TO DO SUCH THING????)

2) From THE STAR.....

He said there were reports of his going to the Bukit Mertajam police station on Wednesday night (to make a statement).

“I want to make it clear that I never told anyone or informed anyone that I would be there. It was their assumption,” he said. (Hello muka tebal!!!! The police told the media YOU ARE GOING TO BE HERE!!!!!!! So everyone knows!!!!!!!!!)


3) Everyone is "SEEKING" him but I'm curious that the police could contact him (I assumed), WHY NOT EVEN OUR BELOVED PM????? Weird right??? Then he said he was in Thailand (or where ever) aren't that country got something call ROAMING????

Weekends

Yesterday after my exam, went to One Utama to have my hair cut. After that went shopping around and bought a jean, white belt, a pair of Converse and also my monthly magazines from MPH. When I got down and saw this photography exhibition organized by the The Star, at the mean time Daniel (2005 Malaysian Idol) was there too. I'm NOT a BIG FANZ of it. Saw a few girls took picture with him. When today I read the article in the THE STAR, only I realized Jac (2004 Malaysian Idol) was there as well man!!! MISSED IT!!!! Daniel's image still the same. But getting "abit taller", "semi-lala" now. The frst time I met him when 3 years back when he came into the boutique and wanted to purchase the Adidas red color jacket. But even S size is large for him. His size is XS man!!!! Ok, back to the photography exhibition!!! The photos are all very nice I could say. And it's REALLY TRULY ASIA!!!!! Photos are taken by journalist and most of it are from KL, metopolitain city, Penang, Malacca and also just one or two from Sarawak. I even asked the exhibitioner whether I could purchase one of the picture. But they asked me to contact the editor. Hehe. But don't know how much it will cost.

Things I bought!!! ----> and a new hair style ---->



----> my own pictures???? BRB =)

The "MUKA TEBAL" Fella

Imagine, there's a black ink on a white piece of cloth, are you able to make the black in back to the container? Think about it!!!!

Sometimes I don't understand why people who made a mistake and refuses to apologize of what they did. Can't they just think again of what they did? If you are WRONG means you are WRONG, unless you have the proof or fact to prove yourself right, thus is reasonable. God damm it! This "Muka Tebal" (thick skin) fella, I mean this word should be CAPS and make it like thick "MUKA TEBAL" FELLA, really unashamed of himself or herself. A really fucking joker of the year again. Last year we already had one who don't know how to give answers well during a LIVE interview from Al Jazeera news anchor. Haha. You know who you are guys!
