F1 2011

1) I am fully agree to Fernando Alonso point of view, which I think he is realistic. Of all 6 grand prix, Sebastian Vettel claims 5 victories with 1 second place. Which mean, he just throw away 7 maximum championship points.

2) Given example of 2009 championship, which Jenson Button took 6 grand prix under his belt during early season, he just maintaining his consistency during 2nd part of the season which already enough for him to be crowned as world champion of 2009.

3) Seba and Red Bull Renault has learned a lesson from last season. They are not waste too much points this season, where Seba has translated 5 grand prix winning out of 5 pole positions. Unlike last year championship, Seba have to wait until final grand prix to be crowned as world champion despite having quickest car. Red Bull so far has shown good reliability and maintaining its aerodynamic competitiveness whiles Seba on the other hand has committed less mistake. Unlike last year, those are the mains flaws which haunted Red Bull and Seba dearly. Luckily, it was Ferrari and Fernando Alonso mistake during final grand prix had handed Seba with world championship crown.

4) Probably McLaren and Lewis Hamilton is closest contender who could squander Red Bull and Seba chance. But with 58 points different which equal to more than 2 races winning proved too far to catch. However, mathematically it is reachable, considering the current season has only completed just 6 grand prix so far.

5) Luck and competitiveness must work of Lewis / McLaren hands, otherwise there would be another empty handed season for Lewis / McLaren.

6) Lewis / McLaren cannot throw away another golden opportunity as they experienced during recent Monaco grand prix. Monaco circuit demanding high mechanical grip, as compared to other circuits which require more aerodynamic grips which tend to be on Red Bull hands.

7) Hence I can understand Lewis disappointments even though they simply have pace to compete with Red Bull and Seba. It is all due to strategy mistake during Q3 plus with bad lucks. They cant afford to do the same mistake again, especially when it comes to circuit that is more suit to their car. Otherwise they can throw in the towel again if they keep repeating mistake when in need most.

Chelsea and Football Development

1) As expected Roman Abramovich decides to sack Carlo Ancelotti, 2 seasons after he guided Chelsea its first double championship crown.

2) This is the price that football manager have to pay, how good you are and how much the success you have brought to the club, wont guarantee your position in the future.

3) Of all European clubs only English Premier League clubs would tolerate with it managers except Chelsea - who own by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. Roman has so far sacked 7 coaches since all of them failed to deliver an overnight success to Chelsea.

4) Unlike Manchester United, Arsenal, Everton or even Barcelona - the board of management is more patient and give ample time for its manager to deliver success. The good example is Sir Alex Ferguson, who took 9 years to deliver MU with the first EPL after 26 years drought. Arsenal also following the same footstep - Arsene Wanger thus far completed its 15 years as Arsenal manager. For your info, both managers remain coaches of both clubs.

5) I was told, both Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wanger has full authority over club youth coaching - to ensure smooth succession of young players to senior level. These are the key ingredients of Barcelona success recently - the senior player has been playing together for over 10 years since their youth apprenticeship. To name a few Xavi Hernandez, Pedro Rodriguez, Andries Iniesta, Victor Valdez are the products of this youth development program initiated by Barcelona. The success of this program has not stand still but also has spilled over to Spain, where the same players brought Spain to be crowned as World Champion and European Champion.

6) All these successes are due to tireless works, good working program and good implementation by these clubs. Without this initiative the club or any country would not go far in the domestic or international competition. France also has proved that by being World Champion in 1998 and European Champion in 2000, all of this is due to bunch of good talents blended with good coaching staff who brought their first ever World Champion. As Aime Jacquet and Vicente Del Bosque enjoyed, they came at the right time with good the stuff for the right players.

7) Probably these are the things that Roman Abramovich should learn. It is no point spending on good players and sacking coaches if you neglected the youth breeding in your team. Of course it would take time to see the result, its the matter of patient and right ingredient for it's to bear fruitful. In the end it is better to safe your financial burden from having to buy expensive players, its more wiser to invest on the youth development program  for long lasting of talents breeding. In fact Ajax Amsterdam, Barcelona, MU, Arsenal and etc has did it.

Kes Sodomi II - Suatu Penilaian

1) Utusan Malaysia melaporkan Mahkamah Tinggi telah mengambil keputusan untuk menolak permohonan barisan pembelaan yang memohon agar menolak hujah Dr. Seah Lay Hong dan Nor Aidora Seadon yang bersependapat bahawa DNA lelaki Y dalam rektum Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan adalah sepadan dengan DNA Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

2) Aku tak berminat atau berniat sama sekali untuk mencampuri urusan mahkamah. Aku cuma ingin menjelaskan strategi yang dimainkan oleh barisan pembelaan untuk mewujudkan keraguan terhadap terhadap saksi - saksi pendakwa, barisan pendakwa, hakim serta elemen - elemen luaran kononnya terdapat campur tangan PM dalam prosiding mahkamah. Jika berjaya mewujudkan keraguan tersebut serta berupaya meyakinkan mahkamah dan rakyat mengenai cerita rekaan tersebut, DSAI akan berjaya membuktikan kepada dunia:
  • Proses judiciary Malaysia adalah tidak telus serta penuh dengan keraguan - terdapat campur tangan dari pihak eksekutif bagi mempengaruhi keputusan mahkamah.
  • Beliau tidak bersalah sejak kes yang terdahulu lagi - akhirnya beliau berjaya membuktikannya melalui kes sekarang. 
  • Jika beliau berjaya membuktikan keraguan tersebut dan beliau tidak bersalah, ia bakal meningkatkan prospek beliau sebagai ketua parti pembangkang yang akhirnya akan memberi impak besar kepada pembangkang.
  • Peranan media mainstream seperti Utusan dan NST sebagai kuda tunggangan UMNO/BN berjaya dibuktikan.
  • Kononnya rakyat Malaysia selama ini telah ditipu dengan dakyah pembohongan yang dijalankan oleh media mainstream dan sistem yang korup.    
3) Pada aku, hakim telah cuba sedaya upaya yang mungkin untuk berlaku adil terhadap barisan pendakwa dan pembela. Sebagai contoh - dengan menolak permohonan pendakwa untuk mengambil sampel DNA DSAI, tetapi bagi berlaku adil kepada pendakwa, hakim telah menarik balik keputusan beliau yang sebelum ini menolak permohonan menggunakan sampel DNA DSAI ketika dalam tahanan lokap. 

4) Sebaliknya barisan pembelaan gagal untuk berlaku adil malah menuduh hakim sebagai tidak layak dan biased - malah DSAI telah menuduh hakim telah pun membuat pra-penghakiman ketika prosiding mahkamah masih berjalan lagi. Beliau telah menyatakannya ketika menjawab soalan wartawan sebaik sahaja mahkamah membuat keputusan DSAI perlu mengemukakan hujah pembelaan beliau. 

'Anwar adalah Lelaki Y, DNA mereka sepadan'

KUALA LUMPUR 16 Mei - Mahkamah Tinggi di sini hari ini menerima keterangan dua ahli kimia yang mendapati bahawa asid deoksiribonukleik (DNA) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim adalah sepadan dengan DNA Lelaki Y yang ditemui di dalam rektum bekas pembantu peribadinya, Mohd. Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

Hakim Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd. Diah menyatakan, walaupun barisan pembelaan memohon agar keterangan Dr. Seah Lay Hong dan Nor Aidora Saedon ditolak kerana terlalu banyak keraguan, mahkamah tidak mempunyai alasan untuk berbuat demikian.

Beliau dalam penghakimannya menyatakan, ini kerana selain meneliti keterangan kedua-dua pakar tersebut di mahkamah, maklumat latar belakang mereka juga menunjukkan bahawa Lay Hong dan Nor Aidora mempunyai pengetahuan, latar belakang pendidikan dan pengalaman yang tiada cacat cela.
''Bukti ini (padanan DNA Anwar dan Lelaki Y), jika diterima masuk, membuktikan bahawa penyumbang air mani yang tidak dikenali dan dinamakan Lelaki Y yang ditemui di dalam dubur pengadu berasal daripada tertuduh,'' katanya.

Selain itu, terdapat bukti daripada tiga doktor yang memeriksa mangsa pada 28 Jun 2008 di Pusat Khidmat Krisis Sehenti (One Stop Crisis Centre - OSCC) Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL); Dr. Siew Sheue Feng, Dr. Razali Ibrahim dan Dr. Khairul Nizam Hassan, serta Lay Hong yang menyokong keterangan Mohd. Saiful Bukhari bahawa telah berlakunya penetrasi.

''Keterangan ketiga-tiga doktor itu berdasarkan latar belakang mangsa dan lokasi calitan-calitan kapas diambil juga secara positif merumuskan bahawa telah berlaku kemasukan zakar ke dalam dubur mangsa,'' katanya.

Merujuk kepada ketiadaan kesan luka pada bahagian dubur, hakim tersebut menyatakan, Sheue Feng dan Khairul Nizam dalam keterangan mereka telah menjelaskan bahawa penetrasi boleh berlaku tanpa sebarang kecederaan atas beberapa faktor termasuk penggunaan pelincir.

Mengenai isu pencemaran dan degradasi, hakim itu memberitahu, tiada bukti-bukti lain bahawa keadaan tersebut wujud sehingga boleh menjejaskan profil DNA diperoleh.

Ujarnya, Lay Hong dalam keterangannya menyatakan bahawa degradasi akan sentiasa berlaku dalam mana-mana sampel DNA tetapi apa yang penting ialah tahap keseriusannya.

''Walaupun terdapat kemungkinan berlakunya degradasi tetapi ia tidak cukup untuk memusnahkan DNA. Dalam kes ini, saksi pendakwa kelima (Lay Hong) menyatakan bahawa profil DNA yang diperoleh daripada calitan-calitan putik kapas adalah jelas,'' ujarnya.

Selain itu, keterangan doktor- doktor yang memeriksa mangsa di HKL turut menunjukkan bahawa setiap sampel yang diambil daripada tubuh Mohd. Saiful Bukhari telah dimasukkan ke dalam bekas steril, dimeterai dan dilabel sebelum diserahkan kepada pegawai penyiasat untuk diberikan kepada Lay Hong.

Atas sebab itu, mahkamah mendapati kemungkinan berlakunya sebarang pencemaran ke atas sampel-sampel selepas ia diperoleh adalah sangat terpencil.

Mengenai isu pegawai penyiasat mengganggu bahan bukti apabila membuka bungkusan plastik mengandungi sampel-sampel yang diambil itu, Hakim Mohamad Zabidin menyatakan tiada cara Supritendan Judy Blacious Pereira untuk berbuat demikian.

Ujar beliau, pada ketika barang-barang kes dari lokap Bahagian Siasatan Jenayah Berat (D9) Ibu Pejabat Polis Kontinjen (IPK) Kuala Lumpur pada 17 Julai 2008, sampel-sampel yang diambil di OSCC telah diserahkan kepada Lay Hong dan telah berada di Jabatan Kimia Malaysia.

RAPID

1) If it is true the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development [RAPID] in Pengerang, Johor, would be develop by Petronas, I would welcome it. But the feasibility studies and environmental & health impacts studies have to be carried out first.

2) I believe it has to do with current rapid development of Oil & Gas complex in Jurong Island, Singapore, where I thought certain portion of those refined products would be sell and transfer to Jurong Island. Or else, its may a tactic by the government to compete with Singapore Jurong Island. To me, whatever it is, it was a good tactics by the government to woo foreign investment or FDI into our country.

3) To make this investment worthwhile, I suggests the government and Petronas would consider on more active participation by local contractors in this project. I have a strong believe that our local contractor have the capabilities to participate actively in this project. I am sure they have all the resources i.e. financial and technical capabilities to carry out this huge project successfully along with thier own foreign partners.

4) Unlike Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal [SOGT] in Kimanis and Plant Rejuvenation and Revamp 2 [PRR2] package in Kerteh, Terengganu, local participation in these project seems only to comply the government and Petronas procedure, where Naim Holdings Bhd and PFCE seems only being sleeping partners while the actual works of engineering and construction were fully carry out by their respective foreign partners. As I always stressed in earlier post on Petronas VDP, it is not the system is wrong but human whether it was the authority or receptive people are the real culprits. This is what has made our national social engineering i.e. NEP less successful, its all due to human error and negative behaviour.

5) There are several potential local constructors which I assume have that capability i.e. Kencana Petroleum, Sapura Crest, Sime Darby Engineering and etc. To me these companies have all the resources i.e. engineering and financial to be active participant along with their respective foreign partners.

6) I hope Petronas will look into this matter seriously and learn from the past mistakes. I am sure there are a lots good local engineers who are still hungry to learn more. The brain drain would normally happen when there are no opportunities available in the local industries or their capabilities are not being heard and simply neglected by the respective industries.

Where We Are and Where We Heading to

1) The issue of congregation of several pastors from Sarawak in Penang recently would definitely will put our racial and religion segregation into the deepen. It is indeed unbecoming situation and will put another blow into already hostile relation among races and religions in the country. That mater has persisted since general election in 2008, where the current government is perceived weak. To worsen this already fragile relationship, Perkasa has made the police report throughout country, demanding police to investigate the allegedly meeting as highlighted by Big Dog and Marahku blog.

2) To find the root caused of the whole episode, first and foremost, one should do is to find the role being played by every political parties, whether from opposition or ruling party. The failure to introduce vision school plus with PAS political motto to introduce the so-called Islamic country [according to their own interpretation], has contributed dearly to our racial and religious division. It was further boosted by the introduction of Islam Hadhari by previous government. To my best understanding, these are the roots causes.

3) These things happen when UMNO decided to brand our country as so-called Islamic country in order to compete with PAS brand of Islamic country by neglecting the true Islamic values which are supposed to be the main pillar of the country.

4) One must remember, the citizenship of this country is not comprising Muslims community alone, but its also comprising other Non-Muslims either. Last two weeks ago, I had visited Balik Pulau in Penang, during my journey, I has pass through Ayer Hitam town, which predominately are Chinese inhabitant. While moving along the main road of Ayer Hitam town, I had came across two large Churches which sitting opposite by each other, divided by the main road. What has caught my eye is, how come these same religions have the two churches sitting near within the same location. Soon afterwards, I realized its was for two different sects of Christianity, one is for Catholic, while the other one is for Protestant followers. In Islam, the two and more different sects still can performs their religious indictment within the same mosque and the same time.

5) I am not sure, whether these churches would be filled-up during their Friday till Sunday congregation prayer. But I am guess, its just a branding to show their existence in Malaysia. For your info, this are what PAS currently doing, a matter of branding to show how pious and religious they are than the rest of other fellow Muslims. As I mentioned above and during previous post, Islam is not about the look or branding, but it is about the way of life, the faith of our tawhid. If I am not mistaken, there were certain factions of Protestant called the Navigator also preaching the same value and opposing the preaching brought by the Catholic.

6) Its really annoying to see PAS government of Kelantan introducing the Jawi road signboard as to show to the whole world that they are more Islamic than the rest of other states. If I am not mistaken, there was a mosque lookalike Buddha temple in Rantau Panjang, Kelantan built by the PAS government under Nik Aziz rule to capture Chinese voters against MCA. It was meant to show that the Islamic of PAS ruled state of Kelantan is inclusive to other Non-Muslims either. What we did not realized is that, the impression among the Non-Muslims of the self impose of Islamic rituals upon the Non-Muslims. Therefore, it is not surprising to see the Newton third law of strong action would create strong reaction afterward. To see UMNO follow the PAS footstep, has shows how stupid we are.            

7) One must remember the history of Islamic spreading during our Prophet Muhammad SAW, Khalifah Ar-Rashidun and the subsequent Islamic empire after that. During those days, Islam was not spread by sword or force imposition, instead Islam was spread by preaching the right values of Islam that it is the way of life and the faith of the tawhid. The clear example is our nation history, there was no blood feud occurs when Malays started to embrace Islam brought by Arab and Indian Muslim traders during 12th century. It was all due to good values brought by these traders. Unlike to Philippine history, the Christian missionary has used physical forces when imposing their Christianity among the Filipinos during Spanish colonial era. Otherwise, we could see the Philippines of today would remain in Islamic hands.

8) The whole polemic also remind me the issue of UITM Dungun, Terengganu student who became apostate, he had openly declared renounce from Islam and embraced Christianity, but later return to Islam after serving one week in detention centre as ordered by Syarie High Court. My question is, aren't this poor young boy really re-embraced Islam fullheartly and faithfully? Can anyone answer this question? Can anyone prove to me that they have seen his heart is already return to Islam?

9) I am not intent to belittle to our Islamic religious authority approaches in dealing this matter, but the approaches taken simply not matching with the approaches taken by the Christian missionary. The Christian missionary was able to tackle his heart and soul, while the Islamic religious authority using force imposing against this poor boy. It is simply will make Islam is unattractive to this boy. It shows we have made an u-turn, contradict to the approaches of Islamic preaching during our prophet days and subsequent Islamic empire after that. It shows that the Christian missionary has learned from our Islamic history, while we on the other hands have chose the other way round. How poor we are.

Kuala Muda Flood Mitigation Project

1) I just came back from my hometown, Kuala Muda, Kedah. As you may or may not know, the federal government through Jabatan Parit dan Saliran [JPS] or Drainage and Irrigation Department currently constructing a huge flood mitigation project along Muda River stretching from upstream Sik of Kedah till the downstream of Kota Kuala Muda, the border between Kedah and Penang . The cost for the construction of this project worth almost to 1 billion [probably].

2) I do not interested to highlight some kind of corruption or under table money might be used or whatsoever, what I do interested to elaborate here is, about the benefit of Kedahan and Penangites would get after a very long anguish and problem due to water spilling from Muda river during monsoon rain.

3) To solve this problem, the federal government of BN had come out with this huge initiative to its people. Unfortunately these same people of Kuala Muda decided to ignore this contribution by voting opposition parties during recent GE. How ungrateful they were.

4) It is true what had Tun Dr. M said "Malays Forget Easily", sometimes they would not only forget, but willing to bite the fingers that feed them. That is true Malay.
