The Rambler Now Resting in Peace

The Rambler has passed away on Saturday, April 11th 2009.

The Rambler has a voracious thirst for knowledge and ideas. He accepts criticism and has no qualms to speak his mind. A sweet, caring father, a loving husband, an atok who never tires of giving his all and much more, a teacher and a lifelong learner, a listener and a friend forever.

Fondly remembered and admired.

AL-FATIHAH

USA the Rogue State

Who explode some of those car bombs in Baghdad? I suspect they were the work of Israeli agents and their cohorts, the CIA. Its part of their dirty game to prolong lawlessness in Iraq. That would be an excuse for them to stay there longer. Americans are noted for doing things for picking up a fight or cooking up excuses to go to war.

Obama is presently talking about reaching out to the Muslims. I guess sending more troops to a Muslim country like Afghanistan is part of this reaching out process.

Divine Guidance

Q: What is the theme common to most of the 114 chapters of the Quran?
A: Obstinate people who refuse to believe in God
Q: Is it within God's power to make every body believe in Him?
A: Yes, certainly
Q: Why didn't he do it?
A: Because He made man, a creature of choice. He wants man himself to decide whether to
. believe in Him or not.
Q: Why does God want man to believe in Him?
A: He wants to guide man, the crown of His creation
Q: Does God guide the unbelievers?
A: No. He says he only guides those who want to be guided and let astray those who don't want to
. be guided.
Q: What guides the unbelievers then?
A: I don't know. May be the mores and the norms of the ancient of their heritage. May be the instinct
. of greed and selfishness that are causing the current financial meltdown
Q: Who are the obstinate people mentioned in the Quraan?
A: "The Tribe of Bani Israel"
Q: But they believe in God, don't they
A: Yes, but they believe that God is for the people of Israel only
Q: Does the conduct of this tribe indicate the absence of divine guidance?
A: I think so. Just look at what they have done in the last 50 years.

Khir Toyo

Khir Toyo was so excited when he discovered that his rival Khalid had abused his power regarding the purchase of cattle for Korban as well as the maintenance of his personal car. The amount involved was more than a hundred thousand ringgit. But today we learn that the accuser himself was involved in a much bigger scandal than the man he accused and the amount involved exceeds more than a million ringgit- expenses of "Study Tour" undertaken by his wife and children at Disney World Paris and Florida.- another cock and bull story.

How many UMNO leaders out there are really clean - not stained by any form of corrupt practise?
It seems that the clean ones who did not buy votes are people like Shahir and Rais who were not voted into office

UMNO politics

UMNO leaders are talking about CHANGE in order to stay relevent. Good I support that. But why is repugnant old ways still being practiced. Khairy Jamaluddin is known to be corrupt. It does not matter whether the money involved is ten cents or ten million. Corruption is corruption. Why is he allowed to stand for election for "Ketua Pemuda". Is it because he is the son in law of the prime minister or is it because he started using money again after being cleared of corruption charges

There are two men in Malaysia who are obsessed with becoming prime minister one day. The first one is Khairy and the other bloke is Anuar. Looks like Khairy is going to make it before Anuar. Khairy as Ketua Pemuda is sure to get a cabinet post and from there on he will make his way up to the prime minster's chair. Then the government will be so rotten that the people will ask Anuar to sit in the prime minster;s chair

America should apologize

American owe the world an apology for messing up the economy. If they are too proud to apologize, they should at least admit their mistakes:

1. Consume more than they produce.
2. Import more than they export
3. Spend more than they earn

What do we call this kind of people?

1. Stupid?
2. Idiot?
3. Imbecile?
4. Irresponsible?
5. Selfish?

Why do we have to suffer because of these bloody f---- Americans? Materialism and greed are the hall mark of people who don't believe in God

To court again

Party X has won the election. So it sets up service centre where constituents can take up their grouses with Y.B. In the next election however, Party X has been defeated and Party Y comes into power. There is no law that prohibits Party X to continue operating its service centre though it has lost the election. They still have their supporters in the constituents though they form the minority this time. For the constituents its good to have two service centres that compete with each other to give better service.

However what is happening in Kedah is different. PKR that won the election is asking BN to close down its service centre in the constituency. Looks like Malaysians have to go to court again to find out their rights and limitation.

Damn the politicians!
