9w2di dan 9w2mw adalah rakan sepejabat dengan 9m2dz. Tapi 9w2mw adalah adik angkat kepada 9m2dz. Mohd ridzuan (mualaf). Nama cina dia lupa lak aku. Kami tinggal serumah di Sungai Petani. Susah senang kami bersama. Beliau seorang yang cukup kuat makan..heheh..hatinya baik..dan sifat manjanya tu masih aku ingat hingga kini.

Aku dan wan (9w2mw) selalunya akan berborak dan berinteraksi dalam bahasa inggeris. Bukan apa, ini bertujuan untuk kerja kerja kami yang selalunya melibatkan bahasa tersebut. Tak la selalu. Kadang kadang tu nak cakap..kami cakaplah.

Wan dan aku ambik periksa sekali. Sama ngan Taha 9w2ti (tak pernah keudara). Jadi sebelum kami ambik RAE..kami beli radio dulu. Untuk praktis ..kami selalu pi frekuensi yang orang tak guna..tak jauh laa..kadang dari kedai ke rumah sewa 9m2dz..dalam 50m....apa kami cakap?

Kami selalu tiru macam dalam HF yang selalu kami dok dgr 9m2dz cakap. CQ DX CQ DX..dan..terus terusan dalam bahasa inggeris..

Aku seronok dan wan pun seronok.."wahhh...wan..kita boleh praktik cakap bahasa inggeris dalam HAM nanti"....

Kami lulus..aku pun teruja nihhh..nak praktik apa yang aku praktik di CB dan apa yang kami nak praktik di repeater...

Repeater yang kami selalu guna ini adalah milik persatuan yang meletakkan nama Melayu sebagai asasnya. Ok...repeater Melayu la kut...

Aku pun tak tahu yang ada persatuan nihh..tapi apa yang 9m2dz bagitau ..ada persatuan yang iktiraf kat Malaysia ..Marts..okk..mana aku nak masuk?

Ada kisah aku masuk Astra...nanti akan dikongsi...

Satu hari ..aku dan wan berQSO direpeater..masa tu aku tinggal di kampung (Teroi)...wan di SP..aku dan dia berborak dalam bahasa inggeris..satu soraaa sudah mariiii "sila berkomunikasi dalam bahasa melayu...ini bukan repeater orang putih..ini repeater orang melayu"...tersentak aku....hampir seminggu aku tak sembang dalam repeater..

Aduhhh...kenapa begini? Ini kisah hampir 10 tahun lalu..aku harap kini ia tidak lagi berlaku...

Sekarang kebanyakan 9w2 tak nak ke HF dgn alasan ..tak tahu BI...aku BI SPM fail...mana pandai..hentam kromo jaaa..tapi nak juga cakap..ada pulak yang paku kot belakang..sabar jaa laa...

Itu kisah dulu..sekarang bukakan minda kita...apakah cara QSO di HF..mudah jaaa..dah berlambak rakan2 HAM upload video...jom kita kongsi kat situ...

Bagi rakan yang menegur kami dulu....aku persilakan beliau masuk ke 10m...jomlaaa tegur kami kat sana...kat sana ramai cakap Bahasa Inggeris...10m band Melayu ka?

FarmVille user runs up £900 debt

2010-04-29T23:37:00.002+08:00

Jill Insley ,

Article history Wednesday 7 April 2010 13.15 BST

A 12-year-old boy spent £625 on his mother's credit card and £288 of his own savings on Facebook game FarmVille

FarmVille: £900 of fun on Facebook?

A mother has warned of the risk of children spending hundreds of pounds on "free" online games available through Facebook after her 12-year-old son ran up bills of more than £900 without her knowledge.

The woman, who prefers to remain anonymous, discovered last month that her son had spent more than £900 on FarmVille. He had emptied his own savings account of £288 and had used her credit card to the tune of £625 to pay the bills.

FarmVille, one of the most popular games on Facebook, allows members to manage a virtual farm by planting, growing and harvesting crops, trees and livestock. New users are given virtual coins to set up their farm, and the revenue from matured crops can be used to maintain it. But those who are desperate to progress more quickly can buy extra virtual coins using real cash.

The mother said: "The first use of my card was on 14 March. I discovered it on the 29th and the card was stopped at that point. Any transactions after that date were already in the system, so what I thought was a £427 spend turned into £625 over the next few days.

"The total spend is about £905, but the credits are still rolling in. Facebook and [game creator] Zynga will not refund anything as [the son] lives in my house. Facebook has disabled his account and Zynga has unhelpfully suggested I use password protection on computers in the future."

She contacted her credit card company, HSBC, but was told she would only qualify for a refund if she reported her son to the police and obtained a crime number. "He would be cautioned and I have been told that this caution would stay with him. Obviously the idea of a stupid farm simulation jeopardising his future earnings is not something that I want to consider," she said.

She added that her son was "very shocked" when confronted with the amount he had spent, but it was clear he knew what he was doing. "When I asked him why he did it he said that they had brought out 'good stuff that I wanted'."

She does not blame Facebook, Zynga or HSBC, saying that her son was the one using the card and is entirely at fault. But she added: "I do think they need to shoulder some responsibility in this business and put systems in place to stop this happening again. The fact that he was using a card in a different name should bring up some sort of security and the online secure payment filter seems to be bypassed for Facebook payments."

A spokeswoman for HSBC said that had the credit card been used on a gambling site it would have started alarm bells ringing for "unusual usage". But because the card had been used to buy Facebook credits HSBC did not consider the transactions to be suspicious, even though £625 was spent in just two weeks.

Michael Arrington, founder of the Techcrunch blog, criticised Zynga last year for "monetising" the game, and warned that people who didn't have access to a credit card to buy extra virtual money could use "pay by mobile" companies instead.

The indebted 12-year-old has not used his mobile to pay for virtual money, his mother said, but only because his older brother lost all his credit buying a ringtone a couple of years ago.

"We sound terribly technologically unaware don't we? I wouldn't mind but I am always explaining that all of these online offers, ringtones and games are a scam designed to take money off stupid people. Kids know best though."

Letter from LHDN

2010-04-26T21:57:00.003+08:00

This truly is a classic!!

True story...

A taxpayer called up the LHDN (Inland Revenue Board) in Terengganu, and asked for Form B. The LHDN clerk who answered the call asked for the address to send the form to. The conversation goes:

LHDN CLERK : "Boleh bagi alamat encik?" (Can you give me your address?)

TAXPAYER : "Hantar ke Ranhill Worley." (Send to Ranhill Worley)

LHDN CLERKI : "Ranhill... eja macam mana?" (err... How to spell Ranhill?)

TAXPAYER : "R.. for Rumah... A for Ayam.. N for Nangka... H for Holland .... I for itik... L for lain-lain...." (spelling)

LHDN CLERK : "Ok.. nanti kami hantar ke alamat tu" (OK, we will send to that address...)

After waiting for a week, the form arrived - have a look at the address on the envelope!!!

Guide to Shortwave Radios

2009-10-31T00:19:00.004+08:00

People all over the world use shortwave radios to communicate news and opinions. This fun, informative and growing hobby is a great way to talk with people all over the globe that share interests. Plus, using a shortwave radio is as easy as turning a dial and tuning in. Below you will helpful information for selecting a shortwave radio and accessories to enhance your listening experience.

What is shortwave radio?

A shortwave radio is a radio receiver that can receive the frequencies between 3 and 30 MHz. These frequencies are used for long-distance, worldwide radio broadcasts because the short wavelength enables the signal to propagate for long distances. Shortwave works well for this purpose because of two characteristics: Shortwave frequencies tend to follow the curvature of the earth, which allows them to bend around the horizon rather than going off into space. Shortwave frequencies can be bounced off of the ionosphere, which also allows the signal to be sent past the horizon.

Longwave frequencies tend to travel in a straight line and are more likely to keep going though the ionosphere than they are to bounce off and return to earth. Two communications types that use shortwave because of the distances allowed are international broadcasting and coordination of long-distance shipping.

Why would I want or need a shortwave radio?

The primary reasons people own and use shortwave radios are personal enjoyment and keeping up with local emergency channels. From a social point of view, shortwave radio is a method of enabling worldwide transmission of information and opinion, and a way to find out information and opinions from around the world. Many countries broadcast to the world in English, making it easy to find out what a given country's position is on those things that it finds important. Shortwave radio can also provide a way to eavesdrop on the everyday workings of international politics and commerce. You can hear news and other programs from a wide range of sources, and you can get emergency information by listening to amateur radio broadcasts including Single Side Band (SSB) transmissions. You also have Longwave (LW) band for Ship-to-Shore calls, FM and Medium Wave (MW) or AM.

How do I use a shortwave radio?

Shortwave listening is a hobby with thousands of participants worldwide, and all you need to know to begin is how to tune a radio. There are no special knowledge or skill requirements; however, as you gain experience and develop special listening techniques, your listening enjoyment increases accordingly. These skills include keeping up on local and non-local issues which affect broadcasting, knowing how to troubleshoot your radio and antenna installation and maintenance. The basic equipment you would need is a radio and a list of frequencies. In most cases, you can receive many stations using the antenna that comes with the radio; however, to receive more distant stations, you can use an external long-wire antenna.

You can hear a difference.

Shortwave radios can be distinguished from and compared to each other based on six primary characteristics:

• Number of Bands and Modes

• Tuning

• Audio Type

• Power Options

• Antenna Type

• Physical Characteristics

Number of bands and modes

The greater the frequency range, the more stations the radio can potentially receive. Generally, shortwave radios can receive both shortwave radio frequencies and standard broadcast radio frequencies. The common frequency bands received by shortwave radios are given below.

• Shortwave Radio: 120, 90, 75, 60, 49, 41, 31, 25, 22, 19, 16, 15, 13, and 11 Meters

• Standard Broadcast Radio: AM, FM, FM Stereo

Some shortwave radios also offer SSB (Single SideBand) monitoring.

Tuning and display

The type of tuning affects how well the radio can access the signal, while the type of display determines how precisely the radio can be tuned.

->Analog

Analog tuning is less expensive, and will generally include a fine-tuning knob to allow for more accurate tuning.An analog display is less accurate and harder to tune to a specific frequency.

->Digital

Digital tuning is more accurate and allows you to enter the frequency you want to monitor. A digital display indicates exactly which frequency you have tuned.

Audio type

The audio type indicates whether the radio has only a built-in speaker or a mono earphone jack. With an earphone jack, the radio can be connected to an earphone, headphones, external speaker or interface with an existing audio system.

• Built-in Speaker Size

• Earphone Jack (Mono Audio Out)

Power options

The power options cover how the radio can be powered. Basic shortwave radios may only offer replaceable batteries as an option; desktop or home units generally also offer at least a DC power jack to allow it to be powered from an adapter.

"Emergency" radios may offer a built-in generator, which allows you to power the radio via a hand crank.

• Replaceable Batteries

• Rechargeable Battery Pack

• DC Power Jack

• Built-in Power Generator

Antenna type

There are three antenna options available for shortwave radios. Shortwave radios will have at least a telescoping rod antenna, and many will also have a built-in antenna. Some radios offer an external antenna jack or connection point, which allows connection to a secondary antenna for greater reception.

• Telescoping Rod Antenna

• Built-in Antenna

• External Antenna

Physical characteristics

This final category covers the mechanical aspects of the radio (size and weight) as well as any other physical features, such as waterproof or water-resistant, or a backlit display.

• Dimensions

• Weight

• Waterproof

• Illuminated (Backlit)

What's your favorite band?

A radio band is a group of frequencies which are all described by a given characteristic, such as the purpose of the band (Aircraft Bands), a given wavelength (120 meter band) or a given frequency range. For example, amateur radio operators generally refer to frequencies according to their wavelength, with the 19-meter band containing the range of frequencies with waves about 19 meters long. The frequencies are measured in either kilohertz (kHz) or megahertz (MHz). You can use the following equations to convert between kHz, MHz and meters.

• To convert MHz to kHz, multiply by 1,000. For example: 9.62 MHz x 1000 = 9620 kHz

• To convert kHz to MHz, divide by 1,000. For example: 2780 kHz divided by 1000 = 2.780 MHz

• To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of MHz.

For example: 300 divided by 7.1 MHz = 42.25 meters To convert meters to MHz, divide 300 by the number of meters.

For example: 300 divided by 42.25 meters = 7.1 MHz Frequency

kHz MHz Wavelength (meters)
2300 to 2495 2.300 to 2.495 120
3200 to 3400 3.200 to 3.400 90
3900 to 4000 3.900 to 4.000 75
4750 to 5060 4.750 to 5.060 60
5730 to 6295 5.730 to 6.295 49
7100 to 7600 7.100 to 7.600 41
9400 to 9900 9.400 to 9.900 31
11,650 to 12,100 11.650 to 12.100 25
13,570 to 13,870 13.570 to 13.870 22
15,030 to 15,600 15.030 to 15.600 19
17,480 to 17,900 17.480 to 17.900 16
18,900 to 19,020 18.900 to 19.020 15
21,450 to 21,850 21.450 to 21.850 13
25,670 to 26,100 25.670 to 26.100 11

World JOTA-JOTI Peringkat Negeri 2009

2009-10-22T19:52:00.012+08:00

Pada 16-18 Oktober 2009 telah berlangsungnya program Jamboree On The Air & Jamboree On The Internet peringkat dunia dimana seluruh ahli pengakap berhimpun di seluruh negara dan berkomunikasi menggunakan radio. Walaupun kebanyakkan sekolah menjalankan peperiksaan akhir tahun dan juga pada 17 Oktober juga merupakan cuti perayaan Deepavali, ini tidak mematahkan semangat ahli pengakap untuk turut serta dalam World JOTA-JOTI pada kali ini. Tema Jota Dunia pada tahun ini adalah "Climate Change Challenge (C3)" dimana peluang terbaik untuk ditunjukkan pada dunia bahawa berjuta ahli pengakap diseluruh dunia harus melindungi alam sekitar dan ia perlu dilindungi demi kebaikkan semua.

Kelkom IPK pada tahun ini telah berpecah kepada dua kumpulan dimana satu kumpulan ditugaskan di Stesen JOTA 9M4SJZ di Pusat Belia Antarabangsa, Bandar Tun Razak, KL dan satu lagi di Stesen JOTA 9M4SJO di Kompleks Rakan Muda, Kamunting, Perak.

Di Stesen JOTA 9M4SJO, seramai 65 orang peserta dari sekolah sekitar Larut, Matang dan Selama telah mengambil bahagian dalam aktiviti yang dijalankan selama 1 hari. Walaupun aktviti dijalankan selama 1 hari, pihak pengurusan telah dibantu oleh KelKom IPK dan juga krew kelana tempatan.

RM300 untuk satu panggil telefon

2009-10-12T00:58:00.005+08:00

Bayangkan jika anda perlu membelanjakan antara RM300 dan RM400 untuk petrol sahaja pada setiap kali mahu pergi ke bandar terdekat dengan bot hanya untuk membuat satu panggilan telefon yang penting.

Itulah keadaan yang dihadapi penghuni rumah panjang dan guru sekolah yang terletak jauh di pedalaman daerah Song.

Menteri Muda Pembangunan Luar Bandar dan Kemudahan Awam Datuk Ambrose Blikau membangkitkan masalah itu untuk perhatian Timbalan Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan Datuk Joseph Salang di pekan Song dekat Kapit hari ini.

Salang berada di pekan ini bagi merasmikan pembukaan Pusat Internet Luar Bandar di Pejabat Pos Song.

Beliau berkata situasi sebegitu dihadapi oleh penghuni rumah panjang di Ulu Katibas dan guru SK Lubok Ipoh, yang terletak jauh di pedalaman di Kapit. Beliau mencadangan kerajaan mendirikan lebih banyak menara pemancar di lokasi strategik di sepanjang jalan balak di kawasan seumpama itu.

"Terdapat tempat yang isyarat penerimaan dan pancaran adalah baik. Daripada apa yang diberitahu kepada saya, telefon bimbit yang murah dan hanya lengkapi kemudahan asas dapat menghubungkan anda ke dunia luar berbanding model yang mahal dan canggih," katanya secara berseloroh.

Namun, katanya penduduk di beberapa rumah panjang di sepanjang sungai Rajang yang terletak berdekatan dengan bandar seperti Song atau Kapit boleh menggunakan telefon bimbit untuk berkomunikasi. Beliau yang juga ADUN Katibas berkata siaran radio RTM yang jelas juga amat diharapkan oleh penduduk di kawasan yang terletak jauh di pedalaman.

Katanya, radio merupakan saluran yang amat penting kepada penduduk di pedalaman untuk mendapatkan maklumat terkini mengenai apa yang berlaku di negeri dan negara. BERNAMA

Interference by the WAG contest.

During the JOTA weekend there is unfortunately one contest (amateur radio competition). It is an exception to the agreement that there will be no contests during the JOTA weekend. However, an agreement has been reached with the organizers of this German WAG contest on the use of amateur radio frequencies during the JOTA in such a way that it allows both events to operate in parallel. This worked satisfactorily last year, so we would like to continue it for this years' JOTA as well.

The German contest stations will not operate in the fol-lowing segments (called "contest-free zone"):

80 m 3650 - 3700 kHz,

40 m 7080 - 7140 kHz,

20 m 14100 - 14125 and 14280 - 14350 kHz,

15 m 21350 - 21450 kHz,

10 m 28225 - 28400 kHz

There is no contest traffic on the 17, 12 and 6 m bands. This leaves all World Scout Frequencies in the clear !!

Scout stations may use the whole of each amateur radio band. But if you experience any interference from the WAG contest, please move to the segments listed above to enjoy an interference free contact.

The film begins with Yoon So-eun (Kim Ha-neul), a student at Shiji University eagerly awaiting a certain student Dong-hee (Park Yong-woo) returning to school after serving in the army. She meets him outside the amateur radio club room, where she tells him HAM radio is her hobby, and he thanks her for all the letters she wrote him during the war.

Plasma Radio

2009-09-08T18:39:00.005+08:00

This video of so called “plasma radio” is popular lately on Russian blogs. The shown effect is very cool. Here is a short story to understand it:

Location: Brovary town, Russia.

Transmitter output: 150 kW

Also used: old Soviet antennas, 90 meteres (280 ft) long cable.

That’s all what you need for UNSAFE experiments to receive radio waves.
In the area of the effect of radio waves very big potential difference emerges. Because of the modulation of the radio signal the electical spark arc starts vibrating with the human voice and begins to “speak”.

The intensity of current in such “radio” can reach hundreds of ampers and it easily can molt metals.

Such electricity doesn’t have any barriers, it can come through the thick tree.

MEASAT-3A berjaya dilancarkan pagi ini - Malaysiakini

2009-06-22T13:12:00.006+08:00

Jun 22, 09 12:34pm

Satelit terbaru Malaysia, MEASAT-3a berjaya dilancarkan dari Baikonur Cosmodrome (Kazakhstan) pada jam 5.50 pagi waktu Malaysia hari ini.Ia dilancarkan dalam keadaan cuaca dingin dan berangin.

MEASAT-3a sepatutnya dilancarkan Ogos tahun lalu tetapi kemalangan kren telah merosakkannya semasa persediaan untuk pelancaran dan terpaksa dihantar kembali ke Dulles untuk dibaiki.

Satelit MEASAT-3a bernilai AS$165 juta itu akan meningkatkan kapasiti satelit syarikat dengan ketara, lapor Bernama.

Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim mengetuai kumpulan 50 anggota untuk menyaksikan pelancaran satelit keempat milik Measat Satellite Systems Sdn Bhd, menggantikan MEASAT 1 dan 2 yang dijadualkan selesai memberikan perkhidmatan pada 2015.

Satelit itu akan mula beroperasi pada Julai. MAESAT 3 dilancarkan pada 2006.Rais berkata beliau sangat gembira dan berbangga dengan kejayaan pelancaran satelit berkenaan memandangkan ia akan membantu meningkatkan kedudukan Malaysia dalam perniagaan satelit antarabangsa serta penyiaran.

Peluang seumur hidup

"Ia juga akan meletakkan satu asas bagi rakyat Malaysia sendiri untuk mereka bentuk, mewujudkan dan mengeluarkan satelit mereka sendiri di masa depan dan tidak bergantung kepada pihak lain, satu langkah yang boleh dianggap sebagai suatu yang menggalakkan untuk industri kreatif Malaysia," kata beliau selepas menyaksikan pelancaran MEASAT-3a seberat 2,366 kilogram.

Pelancaran itu disiarkan secara langsung di Awani, saluran 501 Astro.Antara yang menyaksikan pelancaran itu ialah Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif kumpulan Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) Datuk Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa.

Rais berkata ini merupakan kali pertama beliau menyaksikan pelancaran satelit.

Pelancaran MEASAT-3a, yang dikeluarkan oleh Orbital Sciences Corp of Dulles, Amerika Syarikat itu juga menjadi satu peristiwa yang tidak boleh dlupakan bagi 14 pelajar cemerlang dari Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Filipina dan United Kingdom.

Bagi mereka, ia merupakan peluang sekali dalam seumur hidup.

Lima pelajar Malaysia yang diberi peluang menyaksikan sendiri pelancaran itu ialah Ahmad Ruiz Mohd Asri dari Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur; Edmund Chen Min Lau dari Kuching, Sarawak; Lina Na'ilah Abdul Talip dari Kajang; Chandra Sekhar Kuppusamy dari Johor Baharu, dan Cliff Asher R. Ongil dari Beaufort, Sabah.

Mereka menganggap peluang sedemikan sebagai impian yang menjadi kenyataan.

H1N1: SJKC Jalan Davidson KL ditutup - Malaysiakini

2009-06-21T20:31:00.000+08:00

Jun 21, 09 8:19pm

Satu lagi kes Influenza A (H1N1) melibatkan seorang pelajar perempuan berusia 11 tahun dari Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina SJK (C) Jalan Davidson di sini disahkan hari ini, menjadikan jumlah kes Influenza A (H1N1) di seluruh negara sebanyak 50 setakat ini.

Menteri Kesihatan Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai berkata pelajar tersebut adalah rakan sekelas kepada kes terdahulu di sekolah berkenaan iaitu di Kelas 5(I), menjadikan kes Influenza A (H1N1) di sekolah itu kepada tiga, dua daripadanya kes penularan tempatan."Kami akan memantau sekolah itu dari dekat bersama guru-guru dan PIBG," katanya kepada pemberita selepas melawat sekolah tersebut di ibunegara hari ini.

Sebelum itu pelajar perempuan kelas yang sama telah disahkan menghidap penyakit itu pada jam 6.30 pagi hari ini.Menurut Liow kedua-dua pelajar perempuan berkenaan duduk berdekatan (di dalam kelas) dengan pelajar pertama sekolah itu yang mendapat jangkitan Influenza A (H1N1) selepas melawat Melbourne.

Berikutan itu Liow mengumumkan penutupan SJK (C) Jalan Davidson ditutup mulai 19 Jun (Jumaat lepas) sehingga 26 Jun minggu depan sebagai langkah pencegahan penularan jangkitan penyakit itu di kalangan warga sekolah.Beliau berkata sepanjang tempoh penutupan, semua murid, guru dan kakitangan sekolah itu perlu berada di rumah masing-masing dan mengelak pergaulan dengan orang awam.

Nasihat duduk di rumah"Semasa tempoh kuarantin di rumah, mereka tidak dibenarkan menghadiri kelas tuisyen (bagi murid-murid), melawat tempat awam dan pergi ke majlis keraian."Semasa berada di dalam rumah, mereka juga dinasihatkan agar mengurangkan pergaulan dengan anggota keluarga lain yang tidak dikenakan arahan kuarantin itu," kata Liow.

Katanya mereka yang dikenakan arahan kuarantin dikehendaki segera menghubungi Jabatan Kesihatan Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur di talian 03-26983757 atau 019-2299397 sekiranya mereka mula merasa kurang sihat atau demam.Penutupan itu melibatkan kira-kira 2,100 orang warga sekolah berkenaan termasuk guru, pelajar dan kakitangan.

Liow berkata kementerian turut menyediakan pasukan khas dan ambulans untuk mengendalikan pesakit yang disyaki menghidap Influenza A (H1N1).

Beliau menegaskan mereka yang diarah menjalani kuarantin supaya tidak melanggar peraturan yang telah ditetapkan bagi menjamin keselamatan dan kesihatan orang ramai.

Liow mengingatkan sesiapa yang melanggar peraturan Akta Kawalan Penyakit boleh didakwa di mahkamah dan dikenakan denda RM10,000 atau penjara atau kedua-duanya.

"Jangan langgar peraturan ini. Jangan paksa kerajaan guna akta ini untuk dakwa sesiapa," tegasnya.

Awal hari ini, Liow mengumumkan tujuh lagi kes Influenza A (H1N1) disahkan dalam negara, tiga daripadanya melibatkan pelajar sekolah, menjadikan jumlah kes bagi penyakit itu menjangkau 49 kes.

‘Datuk’ rekrut ahli baru - Harian Metro

2009-06-16T16:32:00.000+08:00

GOMBAK: Selepas enam tahun hilang, seorang ‘Datuk’ yang pernah menggemparkan negara berikutan terbabit aktiviti menjual pangkat tentera mencecah RM25,000 kepada ahli persatuan sekali lagi ditahan polis semalam selepas didapati cuba menghidupkan semula kegiatan berkenaan.

Datuk berusia 41 tahun itu didakwa menjalankan penipuan dengan mengutip wang ribuan ringgit daripada orang ramai yang diperdaya menyertai pertubuhan Pasukan Khas Persekutuan Malaysia (PKPM) terbabit dengan berselindung di sebalik slogan ‘membanteras dan menentang musuh negara’.

Suspek yang pernah diberkas polis enam tahun lalu, turut mengejutkan orang ramai berikutan pernah mengisytiharkan dirinya perdana menteri keenam selepas Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi selain mendakwa memiliki kilang pemasangan komponen kenderaan mewah Mercedes.

Suspek yang hanya bersekolah setakat tingkatan lima turut mendakwa sebelum ini memiliki Ijazah doktor falsafah (PhD) dan pakar jurutera, tetapi semua gelaran itu rekaan semata-mata.

Semalam, sepasukan pegawai dan anggota polis dari Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial Bukit Aman melakukan serbuan di ibu pejabat pertubuhan berkenaan di Taman Gombak Jaya di sini, kira-kira jam 11.45 pagi.

Timbalan Pengarah II Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial Bukit Aman, Senior Asisten Komisioner I Tajudin Md Isa, berkata serbuan dilakukan selepas pihaknya menjalankan pemantauan dan mendapati pejabat pertubuhan itu menjalankan aktiviti merekrut dan mengambil ahli baru secara haram bagi tujuan mencurigakan.

“Hasil pemeriksaan mendapati 36 individu berusia 20 dan 40-an yang datang dari seluruh negara menjalani peperiksaan serta sesi temu duga di pejabat pertubuhan itu dan mereka ditahan untuk diambil keterangan lanjut.

“Kami turut menahan enam kakitangan termasuk dalang pertubuhan itu dan kes disiasat mengikut Seksyen 420 Kanun Keseksaan,” katanya pada sidang media di pejabatnya di Bukit Perdana, dekat sini, semalam.

Menurut Tajudin, selain dokumen seperti soalan peperiksaan dan sesi temu duga, polis turut merampas puluhan barangan dalam premis berkenaan untuk siasatan lanjut. “Ia termasuk resit bayaran yuran keahlian berserta wang tunai RM340, beberapa uniform serta topi, satu cota, 13 lambang PPKM dan gambar ketua pertubuhan itu yang dipamerkan di premis berkenaan,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, siasatan awal mendapati rekrut baru PKMM diminta membayar RM180 untuk yuran keahlian atau kemasukan dan dijanjikan gaji RM1,900 sekiranya diterima menjadi ahli, namun mengikut pangkat masing-masing seolah-olah menyamai pasukan keselamatan negara.

“Antara kelayakan yang perlu untuk menjadi anggota PKMM adalah warganegara Malaysia berusia 18 hingga 60 tahun tidak kira lelaki atau perempuan dan bangsa, berkelulusan semua peringkat dari sekolah rendah hingga ijazah, tidak gila, buta atau pekak dan tidak mempunyai rekod jenayah.

“Bagaimanapun, kami akan menyiasat motif dan rancangan sebenar pertubuhan itu termasuk mengenal pasti jumlah sebenar ahli PKMM di seluruh negara,” katanya.

Berikutan itu, Tajudin meminta mereka yang terbabit pertubuhan itu supaya tampil memberi maklumat untuk membantu siasatan.

Ketika diberkas jam 1 tengah hari semalam, suspek yang menggunakan gelaran Datuk berkenaan tampil ceria sambil melambai tangan ke arah wartawan dan jurugambar di bawah bangunan.

Suspek yang berpakaian kemas lengkap dengan jaket gelap dan topi baret sempat bersalaman sebelum dibawa pegawai polis menaiki kereta ke Ibu Pejabat Polis Bukit Aman bagi siasatan lanjut.

Wartawan Harian Metro yang meninjau lokasi kejadian mendapati, pertubuhan terbabit seolah-olah mencabar polis apabila menampal salinan laporan polis yang mendakwa kenyataan Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Musa Hassan berhubung PKPM melalui sebuah akhbar pada 26 Mei lalu adalah fitnah.

Punca bumbung stadium runtuh - malaysiakini

2009-06-12T17:57:00.000+08:00

Kuala Terengganu 12 Jun 2009. Punca bumbung Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, di Terengganu runtuh kini terjawab setelah seorang saksi yang enggan dikenali telah menyerahkan sekeping gambar melalui email yang diterima pada lewat malam tadi. Saksi berkenaan juga merupakan seorang jurugambar bebas @ Paparazi memberi penjelasan dalam email tersebut bahawa beliau pada mula telah datang ke kawasan tempat letak kenderaan di luar stadium terbabit setelah mendapat tahu bahawa Ultraman akan datang untuk menangkap raksasa yang terlepas dari kandang dasar laut 5 batu nautika dari sini.

Proses untuk membawa raksasa itu pulang tidak berjaya setelah usaha memujuk raksasa tersebut gagal. Rundingan yang selama 5 jam itu gagal setelah salah seorang jururunding telah bertukar menjadi Ultraman dan sehingga kini tiada sebarang kenyataan akhbar dari pihak kerajaan negeri mahu pun kerajaan pusat berikutan dengan kewujudan Ultraman di negeri ini.

Pihak polis dan tentera dikerah ke tempat kejadian kerana bimbang orang ramai akan berpusu-pusu datang untuk menyaksikan pertarung hebat antara raksasa dengan Ultraman. Pertarungan ini juga pada awalnya di buat di luar stadium tetapi pihak keselamatan telah mengarahkan perlawanan dibuat di dalam stadium untuk mengawal keadaan dan keselamatan orang awam. Oleh kerana bertindak ikut arahan, maka kerosakan stuadium telah berlaku dimana raksasa terbabit dengan tidak sengaja telah jatuh ke atas bumbung stadium kerana tergelincir dalam perlawanan tersebut.

Dan kini menjadi persoalan, siapakah yang patut dipersalahkan? Siapa yang akan membiayai kos baik pulih Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin? Tepuk dada, rakyat yang bayar.

Media dedah luka di dada Manohara - malaysiakini

2009-06-11T18:20:00.000+08:00

Jimadie Shah Othman Jun 10, 09 4:55pm

kemaskini 7.21pm

Kesan luka di dada Manohara Odelia Pinot, yang mendakwa akibat penderaan putera Sultan Kelantan, kini boleh disaksikan oleh semua pihak apabila ia didedahkan oleh sebuah media Indonesia hari ini.

Sekeping foto, daripada 10, yang dianalisis seorang pakar fotografi republik itu dimuatkan dalam akhbar internet terkenal Detik.com.

Penganalisis foto itu, yang juga seorang ahli parlimen Partai Demokrat, Roy Suryo Notodiprojo meneliti gambar-gambar itu yang diserah oleh ahli forensik Dr Abdul Mun'im Idries yang menjalankan pemeriksaan perubatan awal terhadap wanita 17 tahun itu.Selain pemeriksaan perubatan yang rapi itu, Manohara juga menjalani satu lagi pemeriksaan perubatan bersama pegawai penyiasat polis selepas memberikan keterangan kepada pihak berwajib itu semalam bagi melengkapkan siasatan kesnya.

Roy Suryo dilaporkan berkata beliau membuat analisis foto itu atas permintaan keluarga Manohara dalam satu pertemuan dengan wanita itu dan ibunya Daisy Fajarina di sebuah hotel malam tadi. Bekas model muda itu, yang bergelar Cik Puan Temenggong Kelantan, menyerahkan 16 keping foto kepada ahli parlimen itu tetapi hanya 10 yang dianalisis kerana bakinya tidak begitu jelas.

Mengesahkan keaslian foto-foto itu, Roy Suryo berkata foto yang dirakam melalui kamera telefon bimbit dipercayai diambil sendiri oleh Manohara pada waktu malam antara Mac hingga April lalu.Isteri Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra melarikan diri ke Jakarta pada 31 Mei setelah berada di Malaysia selama beberapa bulan sejak selesai mengerjakan umrah di Jeddah pada 9 Mac lalu - hari beliau mendakwa diculik oleh suaminya.Pakar teknologi maklumat itu berkata, hasil analisisnya terhadap foto-foto tersebut, beliau menemui beberapa kesan luka di serata badan Manohara.

"Ada 11 titik luka di bagian (bahagian) depan tubuh. Lukanya berbagai macam, sayatan (calar), sundutan (kesan cucuhan api rokok), dan lebam. "Saya bisa memastikan (foto itu) asli. Tetapi lukanya saya serahkan kepada ahli (pakar) yaitu doktor," Roy Suryo dipetik berkata hari ini sewaktu menunjukkan foto-foto tersebut di komputer ribanya di sebuah hotel.

"Saya menyatakan foto itu masih asli sesuai dengan ukuran asli di (telefon jenama) Blackberry tidak ditambahi dan tidak diedit, (atau) diubah setting-nya.

"Roy Suryo menunjukkan, antaranya, foto kesan lebam di tangan Manohara yang bertarikh 10 Mac lalu, manakala foto kesan calar di bahagian tangannya dirakam 29 Mac lepas.

Terdapat juga foto kesan cucuhan api rokok di bahagian kening yang diambil pada 5 April lalu, serta dua foto kesan calar di dada pada 6 April, lapor Detik.com lagi.Foto-foto itu mampu menjadi bukti sokongan terhadap bukti utama, pemeriksaan kesihatan rapi, tambah ahli parlimen itu.Sementara itu, akhbar Surya petang ini melaporkan, hasil pemeriksaan perubatan rapi mendapati terdapat bekas calar, suntikan dan kesan terbakar "seperti akibat diseterika" ditemui di bahagian-bahagian dada, leher, belakang dan paha Manohara.

Peguamnya Hotman Paris Hutapea dilaporkan berkata, dua doktor yang memeriksanya telah mengambil gambar Manohara menggunakan kamera khas untuk mengecam kesan-kesan tersebut.

Beberapa Kad Pengenalan Bersama Kad UMNO DDPNJ Buat Laporan Polis

2009-06-11T17:22:00.000+08:00

Dewan Pemuda PAS Negeri Johor telah membuat satu laporan Polis di Balai Polis Skudai, Batu Sepuluh Johor Bahru berkaitan dengan penemuan 14 keping kad pengenalan bersama beberapa keping kad perwakilan UMNO oleh Sdr Za’aba Bin Haji Ibrahim, Ketua Pemuda PAS Kawasan Pulai pada 6 Jun 2009 lebih kurang pukul 6.15 petang di tempat pembuangan sampah berdekatan Taman Dahlia, Tampoi.

Penemuan ini merupakan satu sejarah yang cukup besar ertinya kepada politik negara kerana ia sudah pasti akan menguatkan bukti bahawa berlakunya penyelewengan terhadap sistem pengundian di dalam pilihanraya Malaysia.

DPPNJ mempersoalkan bagaimana kad pengenalan sebanyak ini boleh dijumpai dalam keadaan yang elok tanpa ada tanda-tanda ianya telah dilupuskan dan lebih mencurigakan ianya dijumpai bersama-sama kad perwakilan serta baju dan topi berlambangkan UMNO.

DPPNJ mendesak agar PDRM akan membuat penyiasatan segara terhadap laporan polis ini terutamanya kepada seorang Naib Ketua Wanita UMNO Cawangan Taman Baru yang mana kad perwakilannya turut sama dijumpai bersama-sama IC tersebut.

DPPNJ tidak teragak-agak untuk membawa perkara ini ke peringkat atasan termasuklah kepada ahli Parlimen PAS/PR untuk dibentangkan di dalam persidangan. -khairul faizi

Nagasaki A-bomb plane co-pilot dies at age 88

ORLANDO, Fla. – Charles Donald Albury, co-pilot of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan, has died after years of congestive heart failure. He was 88.

Albury died May 23 at a hospital, Family Funeral Care in Orlando

Albury helped fly the B-29 Superfortress, nicknamed "Bockscar," that dropped the weapon on Aug. 9, 1945. He also witnessed the first atomic blast over Hiroshima, as a pilot on a support plane that measured the magnitude of the blast and levels of radioactivity.

The Hiroshima mission was led by Col. Paul Tibbets Jr. aboard the better-known "Enola Gay."

"When Tibbets dropped the bomb, we dropped our instruments and made our left turn," Albury told Time magazine four years ago. "Then this bright light hit us and the top of that mushroom cloud was the most terrifying, but also the most beautiful, thing you've ever seen in your life. Every color in the rainbow seemed to be coming out of it."

Three days later, Albury copiloted the mission over Nagasaki. Cloud cover caused problems for the mission until the bombardier found a hole in the clouds.

The 10,200-pound explosive instantly killed an estimated 40,000 people. Another 35,000 died from injuries and radiation sickness. Japan surrendered on Aug. 14.

Albury said he felt no remorse, since the attacks prevented what was certain to be a devastating loss of life in a U.S. invasion of Japan.

"My husband was a hero," Roberta Albury, his wife of 65 years, told The Miami Herald. "He saved one million people ... He sure did do a lot of praying."

Gwyneth Clarke-Bell, Albury's secretary at Eastern Airlines, where he worked for most of his career after World War II, told the Herald that Albury "felt he was doing his job, and that lives were saved on both sides."

Albury was born in 1920 at his parents' home, now the site of the Miami Police Department. He enlisted in the wartime Army before graduating from the University of Miami's engineering school. In 1943, Albury joined Tibbets' unit: the elite 509th Composite Group. They trained at White Sands, N.M., where FBI agents tailed them night and day. At the time, the participants were clueless as to the scope of what they were training to do.

After the war, he settled in Coral Gables, Fla., with his wife and flew for Eastern Airlines. He eventually co-managed Eastern's Airbus A-300 training program.

Albury told the Herald in 1982 that he deplored war but would do what he did again if someone attacked the United States.

"Everyone should be prepared to fight for liberty," he said. "Our laws give us our freedom and I think that's worth fighting for." - AP

Ini smua kerja orang gila...

2009-06-05T10:23:00.000+08:00

Pagi nie aku dapat panggilan dari SWL Irwan.. Dia tanya samada aku dah baca paper The Sun ari ni.. Aku mmg jarang baca paper sebelah pagi.. Kalo ada pon just selak2 muka depan jerr.. Itu po kalo singgah kat kedai mamak utk beli rokok @ top up hp aku.. Berita yang membuatkan kami gelak besar sgt tuh berkenaan 'Laptop Detector'..

Hmm.. Sape la yang handal bonar nak jual laptop detector semurah RM50? Barang2 nie smua bersepah di Jalan Pasar atau Low Yat Plaza? Barang2 yang selama nie dalam media elektronik dan media cetak tunjuk tuh bukan lah untuk mengetahui apa isi dalam kenderaan.. Ianya hanya untuk kegunaan seperti mengesan cable di dalam dinding, LAN Tester, etc..

Aku tak pelik untuk orang mencuri laptop atau brg2 berharga spt radio transceiver, hp, PDA yg mungkin kita tinggalkan dalam kenderaan kita.. Orang nak mencuri ni biasanya bergerak dalam kumpulan.. Kerja2 mencuri nie derang dah wat recce a.k.a survey dulu.. Kerja mencuri nie pon kena ada strategi dan perancangan yang rapi..

Aku nak tanya pendapat korang la, kenapa derang pecah kenderaan mewah atau kenderaan model baru? Bukannya kereta Saga Orient, Datsun 120Y, paling tidak pon, BMW tahun 1975? Sebabnya jarang diantara mereka yang memandu kenderaan lama ni menyimpan barang2 berharga spt laptop.. Kalo derang simpan pon, takde sape nak caya..

BUKTI

Masih blom ada ujian dari pihak SIRIM atau pun mana badan professional mahupun mana2 syarikat yang membuktikan semua alat2 yang 'dituduh' tu sememangnya Laptop Detector..

Dulu ramai yang percaya Frequency Counter merupakan alat pengesan laptop sampaikan benda alah tuh kena banned dgn kerajaan Malaysia.. terus terang la aku nak cakap, kita bukan sebodoh tuh..

Yang slalu cakap kat TV, Radio & dalam paper, smua hanya pegawai polis yang buat tangkapan.. Bukan nya pakar dalam bidang elektronik mahu pun gelombang micro.. Kalo cam tuh, orang lain pon leh cakap, alat penggera kebakaran mudah alih juga merupakan alat pengesan laptop dalam bilik kebal 5 kaki bawah tanah..

Thieves use device to detect laptops in cars

2009-06-05T10:13:00.000+08:00

Khalid takes a look at gadget used by the thieves.

SHAH ALAM (June 4, 2009) : The mystery as to how thieves could single out vehicles for the laptops stored inside has been resolved with the arrest of two Indonesian men.

Police found that the suspects had used an inductive amplifier -- an electronic device similar to a handheld metal detector and as small as a hairbush -- to "sniff" out laptops kept in parked cars.

Selangor police chief DCP Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said today the men, aged 20 and 39, were

arrested in an ambush at Kampung Changkat, Gombak at about 7.30pm on Tuesday.

He said police recovered the gadget and seized several laptops, custom-made break-in tools, handbags and watches among other items.

The suspects are believed to be behind at least 20 cases of theft of items stored in cars.
Khalid said the younger suspect did not possess any travel documents while the other man had an expired passport.

He said police learnt that the men had purchased the gadget from an electronic shop. The conventional use of the inductive amplifier is the location of breaks in hidden wires, even buried in concrete. The typical wire detection range in a concrete wall is 10-20 cm.

He said police are also investigating if the suspects are involved in the forging of fake travel documents and work permits as a few such items and a colour printer were seized from them.
He said police are looking for several other members of the gang.

Meanwhile, the operation to weed out underworld gangs in the state continued yesterday when Kuala Selangor and state police arrested about 20 people at the Tennamaram Estate, Batang Berjuntai for suspected gangland activities.

Khalid said those arrested are suspected to be from the notorious 08 Gang and 21 Gang and are being probed for a string of crimes such as rioting, murder, extortion, causing grevious hurt, robbery and arson.

"We urge the public to provide us with information about these gangs. Do not be afraid of these gangs." he added.

No survivors found in wreckage of Air France jet, official says

2009-06-03T09:34:00.000+08:00

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (CNN) -- Debris located early Tuesday in the Atlantic Ocean off the northeast coast of Brazil is wreckage from the Air France jet that disappeared Monday, Brazil's Defense Minister Nelson Jobim said.

No survivors have been found, he said.

Jobim made the announcement after meeting with relatives and friends of Brazilians who were among the 228 people aboard Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, France.

Two debris fields were found about 650 km (400 miles) northeast of the Fernando de Noronha Islands, an archipelago 355 kilometers (220 miles) off the northeast coast of Brazil -- or at latitude 2 north, longitude 30 west, the Ministry of Defense said on its Web site.

One of the fields was 5 km (3 miles) long and that both lie near the flight path between Rio de Janeiro and Paris.

Among the wreckage was an airplane seat, metal debris, an orange float, a drum and an oil spill, the posting said.

See map of suspected crash zone »

Brazilian air force planes spotted the debris field Tuesday morning, but it was not until a French commercial vessel arrived on the scene that the debris' origin was confirmed. The planes searched 10,000 square kilometers (3,861 square miles) of ocean throughout the day and will continue to search for more debris overnight, the Brazilian Air Force Said.

Two Netherlands-flagged vessels were expected to arrive in the area later in the day; a Brazilian navy ship was expected to arrive Wednesday, officials said. Brazilian air force jets were continuing to comb the area for other debris, and a U.S. P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft was assisting as well.

Watch how wreckage has been spotted in Atlantic »

The searchers also want to find the cockpit voice and data recorders, which might shed light on what caused the jet to disappear before any of the three pilots was able to issue a mayday.

"That really is an ominous sign," said former U.S. National Transportation Safety Board Managing Director Peter Goelz. "It means, whatever happened, it happened so quickly that the pilots were not able to radio out. It probably indicates a catastrophic failure at altitude."

He said that meteorologists have been checking weather data over the area "to see if there was some phenomenon that was taking place -- so far, we haven't seen it."

The Airbus A330 encountered heavy turbulence early Monday, about three hours into what was supposed to be an 11-hour flight, according to the airline.

The plane carried 216 passengers -- 126 men, 82 women, seven children and a baby -- and 12 crew members, Air France said.

Former royal, Riverdance star among plane's missing

2009-06-03T09:30:00.000+08:00

PARIS, France (CNN) -- Friends and relatives of the 216 passengers and 12 crew members on Air France Flight 447 are coming to terms with the news that wreckage from the flight was found in the Atlantic Ocean.

Among those on board were a member of Brazil's former royal family, a one-time performer with the Riverdance troupe, a Rio city official, executives from major international companies and an 11-year-old British schoolboy.

Pedro Luis de Orleans e Braganca, 26, was a descendant of the family that ruled Brazil until 1889, a branch of the former Portuguese royal family. The Orleans and Braganca family considered him to be fourth in line to the throne. Pedro Luis was the oldest son of Prince Antonio and Princess Christine, the family said. He was the only member of the family on the flight, his relatives said.

Eithne Walls, who danced with Riverdance on Broadway, was also on the plane, said Julian Erskine, senior executive producer of the troupe.

"I never saw her without a smile on her face," Erskine said in a statement. "It is hard to believe that such a bright light could be quenched so early and while burning so brilliantly."

She joined the Irish dance troupe in 1998 and performed with them for most of a decade, studying medicine at the same time, Erskine said.

Watch CNN's Paula Newton report on families awaiting news of Air France Flight 447 »

"Anyone who traveled with Eithne will remember the medical books always on the go and her constant attention to her studies," he said. "Without doubt she was someone with a rich future stretching out ahead of her."

Saudi Billionaire With HSBC Stake Has Accounts Frozen (Update3)

2009-06-01T12:22:00.000+08:00

May 31 (Bloomberg) -- Saudi Arabia’s central bank ordered the country’s banks to freeze the accounts of Maan al-Sanea, the Saudi billionaire who owns a stake in HSBC Holdings Plc, people familiar with the instructions said.

Al-Sanea, who is chairman of the Khobar-based Saad Group, also manages The International Banking Corp. B.S.C., the Bahrain-based unit of Ahmad Hamad Algosaibi & Brothers Co. that has defaulted on some of its debt, according to an Algosaibi official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Saad Group said al-Sanea does not manage the unit.

The Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency sent circulars to the legal departments of Saudi-based banks on May 28 and May 30 telling the lenders to freeze the accounts, including credit cards, of al-Sanea, 54, his wife and four family members, according to one person who read the documents. SAMA didn’t say why it took the action, according to the person, who declined to be identified because the information is confidential.

Algosaibi said last week that TIBC’s creditors weren’t paid “pending a debt restructuring exercise.” The bank has $2.2 billion of short-and medium-term debt, according to a May 16 report by Capital Intelligence, a credit analysis and ratings company.

Although al-Sanea was at one time named as a managing director of Ahmad Hamad Algosaibi & Brothers Co., he has not acted in such capacity for “many years” and is not involved in the operations of Ahmad Hamad Algosaibi & Brothers Co. “in any way,” a London-based spokesman said on behalf of Saad Group in response to questions from Bloomberg News.

Risk

People in the Saudi banking industry said their employers had received instructions to freeze al-Sanea’s credit lines, though they hadn’t seen the documents. They spoke on condition that they not be identified because the information is confidential and they’re not authorized to speak to the press.
“The impact of the global financial crisis is now showing on Saudi family businesses and the amount of risk they have accumulated,” John Sfakianakis, chief economist of Saudi British Bank, said in a telephone interview from Riyadh. “The state is healthy, but the global economic crisis is impacting at a micro level, on Saudi family businesses that have taken excessive risks.”
Al-Sanea who is married to Sana Algosaibi, of the Algosaibi family, has a net worth of $7 billion, ranking him as the world’s 62nd richest person, Forbes magazine reported March 11.

Saad Group

As of Dec. 30, al-Sanea indirectly held 359.1 million shares, or 2.97 percent, of London-based HSBC, Europe’s biggest bank, according to an HSBC filing. The stake is worth about 2 billion pounds ($3.28 billion).
The central bank didn’t respond to two e-mails seeking comment on al-Sanea after the governor’s office asked for questions to be submitted electronically.

Saad Group was formed in the 1980s and was the first family conglomerate to be rated by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s in Saudi Arabia, according to its Web site. Saad Investments Co. Ltd. is the investment and finance arm of the group, which holds listed debt and equity issues, funds and real estate, operating from offices in Bahrain and Geneva. The group also invests through Awal Bank, its Bahrain-based wholesale bank.
The group has international investments that include Berkeley Group Holdings Plc, a U.K.-based residential and commercial property develop company, York Pharma Plc a U.K, provider of medicines for skin diseases, Imagination Technologies Group Plc, the U.K. maker of Pure digital radios, Syndicate Asset Management Plc which invests in the global asset management industry, Proton Power Systems Plc, which produces fuel cell systems for industrial applications.

Borrowing

Al-Sanea’s Saad Investment Co. received a $2.82 billion loan from a group of 26 European, U.S., Asian and Arab banks in September 2007 as the global credit crisis damped demand for debt. Earlier that year, Saad Trading Contracting & Financial Services Co., part of al-Sanea’s Saad Group of companies, said it would borrow $5 billion as part of a 20-year plan to diversify investments inside and outside the kingdom.
The Middle East Economic Digest reported on May 23 that Algosaibi had defaulted on $1 billion of foreign exchange transactions, trade finance loans and swap agreements. The magazine cited unidentified bankers.
The default by TIBC, Algosaibi’s Bahrain-based unit, was a “conscious decision not to honor debt payments,” even though the bank’s $400 million equity portfolio means it had enough money to do so, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services said May 12.

‘Financially Solid’

Algosaibi said May 27 that it was “financially solid and capable of meeting obligations.”
Algosaibi, founded in the 1940s, is a major investor inside Saudi Arabia, and owns shipping companies, a hotel and has significant stakes in banks inside the kingdom including Saudi British Bank and Arab National Bank, according to its Web site. The president of the family-owned holding company, Sulaiman Hamad Algosaibi, died earlier this year.

S&P revised its outlook on Saad Group and related entities on May 22 to negative from stable because of its increased real- estate exposure resulting in less liquidity and a more limited geographic diversity of its holdings. S&P affirmed the company’s “BBB+/A-2” corporate credit ratings.

“The ratings are constrained by the high concentration of securities holdings in the global financial services sector, the volatility of Saad Group’s portfolio, the active use of debt to expand Saad Group’s asset base, and the relatively low liquidity of real-estate holdings, which represent an increasing portion of Saad Group’s portfolio,” S&P said in the report.

Last known Titanic survivor dies

2009-06-01T12:12:00.000+08:00

(CNN) -- Millvina Dean, believed to be the last survivor of the Titanic, has died at 97, her friends confirmed Sunday.

Dean was just an infant when the RMS Titanic -- publicized as "practically unsinkable" and the largest passenger steamship at the time -- struck an iceberg on the night of April 14, 1912, during its maiden voyage from Southampton in southern England to New York. The ship sank less than three hours later, killing more than 1,500 people.

Brian Ticehurst, a friend of Dean, said she died at 8 a.m. Sunday.

Millvina Dean was just an infant when the RMS Titanic sank.

Dean was hospitalized a few days ago for medical complications before returning to the Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home in Southampton, said Charles Haas, a friend and president of the Titanic International Society based in New Jersey.

A nurse at the home declined to comment on Dean's passing.

Haas said Dean's last public appearance was at the British Titanic Society's convention in April, which she attended with her longtime companion, Bruno Nordmanis.

"She only visited a short while, but she wowed everybody with her charm," Haas told CNN. "She seemed in good spirits."

Haas noted that Dean's death fell on May 31, exactly 98 years after the Titanic was launched.

While Dean's survival brought her celebrity-like status in some circles, she was 8 years old before she knew she was on the fateful ship. Dean, along with her young brother and mother, survived the sinking of the Titanic, but her mother didn't tell her about it until years later, Haas said.

Although she didn't have memories of the historic and tragic event, Dean, who never married or had children, became a larger presence for Titanic enthusiasts and historians over the past three decades.

"Having gone through that disaster she was given extra years and an extra dose of vitality," said Haas, who recalled escorting Dean to a Titanic society gala a few years ago.

Dean became the last known Titanic survivor after Barbara Joyce Dainton died in October 2007. The last American survivor, Lillian Asplund, died in May 2006.

Dean's death leaves only artifacts and videotaped interviews with survivors to "speak to us about the Titanic," Haas said.

9M2AR quit from ham?

2009-05-15T00:56:00.000+08:00

What I am going to write here is a matter of my own opinion. It may not be statements of facts.
What do I think of ham radio today:

a. Ham radio consists of people of various categories and qualities, from the good ones to the bad ones. The number of the bad ones could be as many as the good ones. The bad ones are

- arrogance

- believe they are the best people in the world of hamming

- Encourage piracies

- Using word like fuck, pig and other sinister words

- Show no respect towards experience hams with higher intellectual ability eg 9W vs Dr Ken

- boasted even though with poor or no knowledge

- start as pirates and continue with pirates lingo

- lending call sign to others

b. A big majority petitioned against CW exam. CW is a part and parcel of ham radio. ARRL, ORARI and many other radio organizations are for Morse codes because it is a feature of ham radio. Besides it is a character building of a ham to make them more organized. Usually bad character people cannot pass CW exam. In my mind those who are scarred of CW do not have positive attitudes.

c. The MCMC people had taken advise from people without knowledge and experience. These people had not been Short wave listeners and were not aware of many things. It is not surprise that the MCMC allows people it arranged to go to Indonesia to use Malaysian call sign there instead of requesting the Indonesian special call sign. The MCMC also allows someone in a war ship talking to a regular ham on the land. The allocation of call signs are confusing to the international ham community. And finally it allows non-ham using ham equipment giving them a special frequency which other nation had thought that the Malaysian authority had expanded the frequency of amateur band.

d. I believe there is some sort of corruptions going on because there are many hams who do not have even simple electronic knowledge who passed the Radio Amateur Examination. At one time it was said that someone collected money to ensure of the passes.

e. No action has ever been taken on to reported pirate stations

f. Ham Radio is now being politicized. There are occasions that the repeater was used to broadcast political event or activities run by political bodies.

g. People who committed crimes and cheat many other hams are in the ham radio.
Lately there were were talks on PRADAS, wrong SOPs, excessive used of Q-Codes and CB as well pirate terminology were brought in. New hams spoil ham radio. The sanctity and divinity of amateur radio has been washed away by new comers and new administrators. Ham radio has become just like any other radio; pirate, CB, Family Radio, commercial.

I notice one of the main problems of the new hams is that they think they are very smart and always want to show their pride of being smart. And they would organize into groups condemning other groups, want to compete with all other group even though they just became hams within one year. At the same time they would break rules after rules.

There were several occasions that subjects on illegal fund collecting were taking place here and there. The accused would create stories and asked his friends to boycott anyone who pointed out the misdeed. Though further investigation show the accusation was true it made the hams split more.

Last time ham radio operators must know English. Today it is not mandatory. Since it is an international hobby and not invented in Malaysia English is still vital. But those who could not speak English were never criticized. On the other hand there are people who condemn hard the people who speak the language. And they behave like a moron or barbarian on the air. These people use Western gadgets, dress Western and practice Western culture.

I would like to mention a little on PRADAS. It is a form of pre-marital sex or live in partner. A couple can have sex before marriage or living together as a kind of learn how to fuck before gets married. I was told that the MCMC says that piracy is a training ground to be a full pledge ham. I would called it a distorted thought in the spoil mind. The main training ground is called Short Wave Listening. SWL in fact is also an art. PRADAS is a symbol of silliness and inefficiency. It also contributes to the death of ham radio.

I appreciate those who continue to sit for CW test. I salute them. These are people with courage and positive attitude. Having failed once they made a second try and the third. These are real amateur radio enthusiasts. They fought against all odds. I pray for their success and well being.
I feel very sorry for the more educated and learned hams like doctors and lawyers. To me they jump into the wrong hobby. Yes once it was noble and respectable. It carried the flag of the nation.

29/04/2009 - One of my former students with a call sign said ,"Cikgu, Ham radio is for us to have fun...". I told him that ham radio is something can be treated as serious. It is a national reserve of a kind. During the Malaysian-Indonesian confrontation at least one known hams were taken to Singapore to help in the deciphering of enemy Morse codes. In time of war all modes of communication will be used by a nation. A nation must have enough people with Morse knowledge to intercept all the traffics and decode them.

Ham radio is also an ambassador. It broadcasts the existence of a nation and it's location. At the same it broadcasts the knowledge and culture of a country. When hams from a certain country are rude it is telling the world the nature of the people. The questions asked, the topics discuss and the way hams carry themselves can enhance or bring down the image of a country. Do you think the MCMC ever think about this ?

If you have been a ham for many years you will know which people from what nation could and could not be trusted and you can their characteristics from experiences.

30/04/2009- Many old hams blamed the MCMC for many things. Certainly the authority will fully reject any accusation. Administratively I would say that the MCMC is accountable for any wrongdoing by people using the radio. In some areas the body is also responsible in addition to accountable. There are many things that we do not agree but we have to carry them out because of our duty and our work. Read what Judge Chan said about judges and executing the laws. He mentioned that he had to hang many people who were found guilty though it is against his will.

I heard a few people said that the MCMC disregard the international convention on a few things. This will likely to happen when people in the MCMC are new to ham radio and are being advised by the very new people who think they are the smart lot. People had been mentioning name like Zol or Zul or Zu. I don't know whether such person exist.

But on the other hand the MCMC may be saying that there is nothing wrong in Malaysian Amateur Radio. Everything goes on fine. In that case there is nothing that we can do. We just wait until things explode and the politicians will throw some people out of the office.

03/05/2009 - Who owns owns amateur radio ? The MCMC does not own amateur radio. It cannot manipulate it as it likes. Neither do the plain Malaysians. We don't own it too. The MCMC administer it, arrange for exams and issue the licenses. The MCMC follows the international convention. But cavemen seem to think they owe ham radio and use it as they like and manipulate it to suit their needs. Even a radio society can say that it permits non licensees to operate ham radio on it's repeater. What a shit....
