Malaysia Now : Hanya Nyanyian Dalam Sepi

is the title track of Gingerbread lead vocalist,  Chris Vadham's solo debut album of the same name.  The Singaporean 's solo album was officially launched on April Fool's day in 1985.

Malaysia Now,  the news portal run by  Latheefa Beebi Koya's brother is getting from bad to worst.

The portal's coverage about AirAsia,  in recent weeks,  merely goes to show the inexperience of  Latheefa Beebi Koya's brother,  as well as a stubbornness in ignoring, the fundamentals of good journalism;  RESEARCH.

READ: 2.Malaysia Now : The principle of refunding AirAsia flight tickets

Malaysia Now,  should have a close READ  on this Skrine  report READ: Based On MAVCOM’s own earlier statements, it would appear that airlines such as AAX are not bound by the Consumer Protection Code to reimburse any amount to their passengers for flights which were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

There are plenty of ways to skin a cat,  but being ignorant or being a donkey ass are not one of the skill set's required.  Keep this up,  and soon Malaysia Now will be:

Hanya nyanyian dalam sepi
Jangan kau hujaniku dengan pertanyaan
Kerna pasti akan mengecewakan
Pahamilah pengertianku ini

Fahmi Fadzil & Gang : MALULAH BOS!

is  a song by Al Zabran,  produced by Rapper Kampung,  that was released just nine days ago,  garnering more than 100k views on YouTube in such a short time.

Thank God,  we don't have a daft index to measure our politicians. READ : Fahmi Fadzil, wants the MACC to identify possible elements of corruption between Ericsson, and Digital Nasional Bhd

Malu boss (bukan main)
Jadi bahan bercanda
Malu boss (bukan main)
Jadi bahan lawak negara tetangga

Apart from hampering Digital Nasional Bhd from READ : Ramping up the 5G rollout in a bid to achieve 38% population coverage by year end, perhaps the Ministry of Finance should also be publicly rebuked for choosing the most competent bid,  which happens to be RM700 million lower than its rivals.

Talking about daftness,  can anyone explain how the telcos managed to convince our politicians to derail the nation's  5G plan to consider a dual infrastructure network setup.

It's taken the cabinet THREE months and counting to consider this U TURN  of a request.

And WHY is it a U TURN?  Because every now knows back in 2020, the telco's themselves said READ : Single network approach is best 5G bet for Malaysia, telco bosses said

On This Day, FEB 3 2020, Mobile Service Providers, Admit That The Single Network Infrastructure is BEST FIT for Malaysia. This Drama Must End Today : You Can't Always Get What You Want!!!

is part of the historic,  Let It Bleed album,  released in 1969,  which saw the founder of the Rolling Stones, Brian Jones get booted out from the group and die of an overdose.

Over the last 52 years,  many have been led by the narrative,  that the Rolling Stones,  was all about Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The record books though,  would state otherwise.

Never underestimate,  the power of a half baked narrative,  because over time,  it will be taken as a norm,  and like wise be accepted as one.

Take for example , the current narrative's  that have been built by the telco's,  that a dual infrastructure  network is best for Malaysia,  is built around, what I believe,  even the telco's know is not the best fit for Malaysia. 

Why,  do I believe so? Well look closely at the telco's real narrative  READ : On This Date Feb 3 2020 : Malaysian Telco's say that the Single Infrastructure Network is BEST BET For Malaysia

This current  narrative  is fundamentally flawed and based on self interest. Are the telco's trying to screw up my country? Nevermind, that they may try to dodge the spectrum rights payment in the process.

Why should,  a private entity,  owned by private stakeholders be given the same privileges as the government owned Digital Nasional Bhd?

The 3g spectrum rights cost the telco's  READ :   More than RM6 billion . 

Now how about the cost of building the 5G internet highway?  Are the telcos,  who currently pay more than 90 per cent of  their profits, as dividends, banking on getting cheap loans from  China,  in return for appointing either Huawei or ZTE,  both who black listed by the USA?

What if  the war in the Balkan's escalate... can these contractors deliver?  Do the contractors have enough 5G  technical equipments,  considering the Western world's embargo.

These narratives are missing in Malaysia's  5G  story.  Have we forgotten how Huawei fell from being the number one phone maker in  the world. READ : In Less than 12 months, Huawei's phone business has been dismantled

Why have these narratives been shielded from  the Malaysian public? Also,  giving in to the telcos mean,  we the public must pay more for a proven rotten bunch of service providers,  which have placed us at the bottom of  the pile in South East Asia.

The Prime Minister,  Ismail Sabri must say NO and save  Malaysia,  once again.

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you'll find
You get what you need

MALAYSIA : NEVER ForGET

Taken from  Take That's third studio album,  this song is best remembered for, Robbie Williams  departure from the group as well as a rarity with Howard Donald as lead vocal in this UK number one hit.

Can we safely say that Francis Fukuyama was wrong , ie  The End of History ? 

SEEMS to me,  many  and I mean many Malaysians seems to have burried our painful history.   Just scroll through Tik Tok, and you will see many who are glorifying Russia.

I am not anti Russian. I can speak as well as write in Russian. I have no hate for them,  but to those who have over played their hand on Tik Tok ... here is a TIMELINE

TIMELINE

[  ]  17 July 2014 .  MH17 shot down

[  ] 298 passengers and crew on board were killed.

[  ] Dec 21 2021,  Dutch prosecutors have demanded life sentences for four suspects in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014.

NEVER FORGET

"I can't explain this feeling" now
And it feels so unreal
At night I see the hand that reminds me of the stand that I made
The fact of reality

Never forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will all be someone else's

Ismail Sabri : Some Guys Have All The Luck

is a Jeff Fortgang composition, a rare piece of music which hit  the US Top 40 twice,  first by the Persuaders in 1973 , and then by  the  former frontman of Jeff Beck Group , Rod Stewart in 1984 where it peaked at number ten.

Some Guys Have All The Luck, and no one in Malaysia has had more luck than  Ismail Sabri.

You had nothing to say
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

No one expected him to be Prime Minister, but now during his tenure,  the luck seems to be flowing to Malaysia.

Consider this,  under Ismail Sabri,  READ :

🟥   Palm oil tops RM8,000 for first time in History

🟦   Crude Oil Tops US$107 per barrel

🟩  Demand for Malaysian Semi Conductor Is HOT

CREDIT to the Prime Minister for getting the job done his way ,  thus far.  Hence, the nation will be counting on him this Friday, so that Digital Nasional Bhd and Ericsson can bring the latest in technology to RURAL MALAYSIA  READ : DNB's 5G network to use Ericsson dynamic radio resource partitioning.

The Prime Minister  must stand firm this Friday if he truly wants to see his RURAL MALAYSIA dreams turn into REALITY!!!

5G : IMAGINE

is a song by English rock musician John Lennon from his 1971 album of the same name. The best-selling single of his solo career, it was a top five hit in the USA in 1971 and a top five hit in the UK in 1975.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace

 

IMAGINE the opposite to tranquility.

MAYHEM is what in store for us when we start to imagine of a telco which needs to borrow money READ : To pay its major shareholder,   failing which it's major shareholder can  even go BUST today if 80 per cent of its yearly profit is not given out as dividend. 

IMAGINE a world where they are not honest tax payers READ :Maxis' unit slapped with RM107m additional tax bill

IMAGINE a world in where the honest civil servant says that their service is bad READ :  More people complain about network quality from Celcom, Maxis & Digi: MCMC.

But greedy politicians want to allow them to screw up our 5G dreams so that their already filled picked will overflow!!!.

Something Rotten In The State of Denmark : From the Land of the Rising Sun : Here Comes The Sun

is one of the most well known song written by George Harrison.  The song was featured in  the Beatles, 1969 Abbey Road album.

It seems like years
Since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun

 

Early this morning  when I struggled  to find a Doctor for my tummy ache around the PUDU area, my eyes were amazed with the number of  LCD advertisements  taken by  JCL Credit Leasing Sdn Bhd  or better known as Japan Credit Leasing.

Yup,  they are licensed money lenders. For JCL to take up so much advertising space in the heart of Kuala Lumpur,  means business must be very good.

What this means is the banks get a big F on  their report cards for failure to provide loans to the segment of  the economy which needs it the most,  forcing them to secure loans from the likes of JCL,  which comes with a much steeper interest rate!!!.
