As if the injury is still not enough, an assh*le still cannot shut the fcuk up! He was quoted in the "star" newspapers on page N22 Nation, today. (Note: the paperwas passed to me for reading as I have stopped buying them.. So I get old news already) He said: "....I thought the petrol increase would be RM1.00 and not 78sen. We all are very Lucky! You can control the price but there will be no petrol...." WTF! .....and you of all person are the one who read, understood and agreed to all Highway/Toll contracts!
Dear assh*le Sami, like it or not, in six years time, petrol will be no more! Even if there are some left, it will cost us more than RM10.00 per litre !!!!!! Six years is not a very long time. You and I may still be alive.
How come you are in Ipoh? Go back to your cave in "Snail River" and stay there! We did not ask for your opinion. Nothing ever good comes out of your goddamn mouth so, shaddap!!!!!! Shoo!
Just called up my newspaper delivery man. Also cancelled newspapers for the office. I suggest all of you do the same and teach these media papers a lesson. I do not want to be shocked if my delivery guy increases his 'delivery charges'. Can still get news from my fellow bloggers and I trust them more than the stoopid main stream media (MSM). All others bluffing onli.
See, my fellow blogger posted some truth about other countries' petrol prices at the pump.
Our media do not highlight these info before until today! What we want to know is that whether other country got collect ROAD TAX or not? So many Toll? Now, Electricity price also kena.
Next is the cooking gas! So, how much other countries are paying for all these? Why are the Newspapers so quiet about all these? Why? Sure....... many croonies involved sure 'untung' one.
Did I also read right? Our 'taikor' also said something like the hike would be reviewed every month! Lucky Malaysians get a 30sen discount from the market price!!! Which market? Who's market? What market price? Base on the picture above, what about those market? Are we also not an oil producing country ?
By this, we need to go on a cost cutting life style. Maybe, those people in Putrajaya do the same!
We may even be planning to save more money by cutting up old 'news papers' and replacing our toilet rolls!!! See what 'shi**y news come around nowadays?
Since nutritionists say 'fibres' are good for the body, I may also have to eat the banana leaf packaging of the RM1.50 nasi lemak !!!!
Up 78sens! That means RM2.70 per litre! That equals 40%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!
In these coming few days, just see the already high food prices continues to shoot thru the roof! We will be cutting down on trips! So, all shopping malls going to DIE!!! Still wanna charge higher Pfarking rates too? Like Tesco Klang? Yah! and go and burn fuel on holiday (lokal) trips!!!!!
So fedap and ..........................not going to blog until I can! Yah!Yadda! In Amarlika fuel is RM7/gallon! Malaysia is still cheep! Yah! Amarlika also got Big White Breasted Women!
Compared to our Klang's White breasted Water Hen!!!
Fcuking lame excuse!!! Blardy Liar!
See told U so, the press says something in August, the Gormen says another. Please boikot the Newspapers. That is if you still can afford it! And making me more determined to cancel ..........ASSTRO completely!

Citrawarna 2008 has just been launched and it is to promote tourism in Malaysia with Colours of Malaysia. Many colours.
Below is a report that there are two colors we do not like!!! Red and Green.
Fake APPLE JAMBU Hybrid aka Crystal Apples from Cameron Highlands and is dangerous to health!
The following update is a report made in 2007 by our Consumer Association of Penang (CAP) who has warned the public about a fake fruit hybrid available in Cameron Highlands and the Tapah Rest stops which have been selling to many unsuspecting tourists both local and foreign.
This is the real apple. This is the real Jambu This is the fake jambu apple. It is a heavily processed local jambu (rose apple), specially trimmed out of its skin on a rotating gadget thus 'moulding it into a standardised shape, and soaked into coloured syrup (saccharine?)with added preservatives. It is then chilled. It is sold off in pairs at RM13.00 per pair during the peak season like these coming school holidays. The popular two striking colors are in red and green. These Fake guava-apples are sold chilled because it is to keep the crystallised colored sugar in solid state. It turns bad after a few days! Unsuspecting tourists always think that there are always 'new' fruits being continuosly hybridised by farmers especially from Cameron Highlands. Our group of elderly friends and relatives just got home from a trip to the Camerons, brought many back and we tried it out! It was just a (jeruk) preserved fruit and costs so much!
The worst part is that these fake products, not only gives our Government a bad name, contains coloring and preservatives which can cause health problems. The colourings are :- Tartrazine, brilliant blue, carmoisine, sugar/saccharine, artificial vinegar, preservatives. Why are fresh fruits being so heavily processed and sold off again looking like fresh fruits? Running out of ideas? It was also suspected that the idea came from Thailand.
Based on previous reports, the Fruits and Vegetables Farmers Associations started pointing fingers here and there saying something like it is not the Growers at fault but the fruit SELLERs brought it up from the lowland cities as the Jambu fruits could not be grown in the Highlands!
Another funny thing is that an official from the Federation of Vegetable Farmers Association even said that the whole thinggy is "News to him!!!" Another even accused CAP that there were "no such thing" and they would need 'proof' that this kind of fruit is sold in the Camerons!!!!!!
One just need to take a stroll at the areas near "Kea garden stalls" at Brinchang, and see the dozens of parked tourist buses and the tourists carrying bags of these fake and dangerous fruits with them. Sometimes we wonder just what are the Authorities doing to safeguard our health?
Another thing is that why our Health Ministry did not act when this was brough up way back in 2007? Is this product safe for consumption? To children? Elderly? Tartrazine have also been reported that it may cause tumour growth which is deeply linked to Cancer!
Dear fellow bloggers, please let your friends and relatives know immediately about these fakes and not to be cheated! The school holidays have just started. As it is also a health hazzard just think of the dreaded Cancer it could cause! Also think of our kids as they are always attracted to bright colors. Avoid these if possible as we are all well informed these days.
Come on lah Authorities, please wake up! Is it so difficult to confiscate the stuff and stop these people or is it just plain "could-not-care-less" or is it sheer laziness? These are the colors we do not need.
Ours,Mine,Ours,Mine....... ..or Pedro Branca? ICJ says its SINKAPORE one!!!!
You know hor..so much headache already. Malaysia's Johore say that the Batu belongs to them and Sinkapore says it is theirs. So LKY's people renovated the lighthouse which was built by the East India Company in 1851. It was named after their hydrographer, Capt. James Horsburgh. So the small quarrel began. Small got big and bigger. So big, that someone says we go to UN! Yah, get the ICJ (International Court of Justice) with so many big,big laywers to decide. Last night, I heard the verdict. Sinkapore got to own the rock where the lighthouse stands. We managed to get the two little stones also near Pedro Branca. Ours is Pulau Batu Puteh.
So, I also read that some poor fishermen in Johore would be very dissapointed. They say that there got plenty fishes wan. Maybe including John Dory fish!
So I will ask them to sing some peaceful song to give them hope and take things "IN A CALM MANNER" and RESPECT ICJ's decision. So let us all sing this song to de-stress and enjoy the two small ROCKS that we have got! At high tide, only ten seagulls can stand on!
It is an 1955 oldie sung by Bill Halley and his Comet. It is called:- Rock Around The Clock
Not familiar? Click here to see and hear this song but use our lyrics for some fun. Enjoy!
ROCK AROUND HORSBURGH (please sing to the tune of "Rock Around the Clock")

Fake Dory Fish Fillets at it again! A Catfish is NOT Dory Fish! ......Part 4
Would you believe that since 2002, this kind of frozen 'John Dory Fish fillet' has been selling in our Hypermarkets when it is actually, NOT the real Dory Fish?
A newspaper advertisement three days ago:-
And a flyer of another hypermart (supposedly by an 'educated' foreign company):- The Indonesian packaging (sold in Jarkata ) did not mention "Dory":-
Until today, our Consumer Ministry and the Consumer Associations are 'silent' about the way they market this fillet, falsely labelling it as the 'first class thing'. Spoken to the Consumer Association of Penang 2 years ago. They were investigating the addition of gelatine (Halal?) to make it heavier.
So there are three things here. 1) Is this the real Dory fish or not? 2) Why must they used gelatine to double the weight of the fillet? 3) Is the gelatine safe and from what source?
For question one, it was already confirmed that it is not the real dory fish. (as in John Dory below) It is actually a species of a river scavenger, a catfish called pangasius/basa/sutchi (Vietnamese)It is equivalent to our Ikan Patin.
They are caged bred by the thousands along the fresh-watered Mekong.
The original John Dory Fish is from the temperate sea waters and do not swim in shoals. They do not taste 'muddy'. They are classed as the "Cordon Bleu" in fish receipes and they may cost 'an arm and a leg' to eat.
The size of the actual John Dory is much larger and shorter as compared to the other, it is smaller, longer and is heavier due to the water plus gelatine to hold more water.
The Agri-food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore have even issued a stern warning to retailers with a heavy fine if found cheating. Please see a copy of their notice of 13th. May, 2005 below.
Enlarged Part 1 & 2 Enlarged Part 3 & 4 (Copy of letter courtesy of AVA of Singapore from Google)(click on image to enlarge)
While in Singapore, the supermarts followed strictly and did not mentioned anything about Dory but when eating out, almost all hawker stalls and cafes even printed 'dory fillets' on their menu!! A well known cafe at Clarke Quay still does that.
Would you believe that after so many years of such malpractices, the Authorities in Malaysia did not bother to look into this. What was their excuses?
It is not that we are against eating catfishes but the issue here is that the importers and hypermarkets are still advertising it (boldly enough and in full colour) in their flyers calling catfish as Dory fish! It is so blatant and it is just like showing the 'finger' to the Government.
Or is it that we do not have 'smart' people in the Ministry?
Serving to the public as dishes.The current situation here in Kl and PJ especially towards lower to mid sized western cuisine restaurants serving fish dishes, almost all of them uses this so called dory fillet as a subsitute to increase the choice available to customers. Thus when ever fish and chips, and grilled fish fillet are ordered, alternative are preferred because they are cheaper. It was surprising to note that several well known fish eateries for western dishes are even located at high end places such as The Mid-Valley, One-Utama. The Curve. The Pavilion and the Queensbay Mall in Penang, are already involved in using and naming them as dorys.
This have got to stop. Consumers must be made aware what they are ordering and what they are actually eating. Even frozen 'quick-cook pre-packed' meals, stating only whitefish meat as an ingredient, must declare with the actual fish used.
Maybe, each and everyone of us should make a unified report to the Consumer Associations to stop all these cheatings. Either that or we are not bothered by it ourselves?
Still talking about being "Smart Consumers? Talking since 2005!!!! No action! Duh!
He was quoted in the "star" newspapers on page N22 Nation, today. (Note: the paper was passed to me for reading as I have stopped buying them.. So I get old news already)
We did not ask for your opinion. Nothing ever good comes out of your goddamn mouth so, shaddap!!!!!! Shoo!
