African Scam Blown....

There is a scam(s) by Africans currently taking place in Malaysia. Many Malaysians and foreigners have fallen for this scam and lost a lot of money including lawyers as well. These Africans have created fictitious website of Courier Services namely American Express Courier Services and claim there are parcels from the UK up for collection. 

They say these parcels contain jewelleries, notebook, chocolates for Valentine's Day and a whooping GBP35,000.00 and awaits for the sender's loved ones to collect.

Many have fallen for this trap and yours faithfully here, after hearing the above  porky story, did some research and called to the numbers to ascertain the authenticity of this scam.

I even called American Express to inquire if there is ever a company under their tutelage called American Express Courier Services ( website : www.aex.c-ssr.com). Their answer was a firm NO. 

AMEX told me they use Nationwide Express Services for their courier services. 

Below are 2 correspondences from the scammer(s).

Mrs. Nurul Faizal

South East Asia Regional Co-coordinator.

I hope the Police Di Raja Malaysia do read this and take it up.

Antiques...

Things I've not seen in a very very long time....

Hong Kong Phooeeyyy...Whooo hahhhhhh!!!

Someone I know came back with loads of goody goody stories about Hong Kong. Talked at length and breadth winching every muscle on her face.

I couldn’t help but eavesdrop for every word she bragged was boisterous. I thought she was full of crap shit talking about some forlorn territory the Brits threw back at mother lode swine China.

Let me tell you my version of the Hong Kong I know.

Hong is one bloody scam of a Kong country. Doesn’t matter if it’s Cowloon, Pigloon or Dog’s Arseloon, this place that is lit up like Xmas trees on any given day is nothing but a cheap mother lode China’s Hell’s kitchen.

 Don’t be fooled if a brand like Nikon turns up being a Kon or a Fujica camera turns out to be Fujicrap. Absolutely, I mean absolutely nothing in this hog’s territory is genuine. Even the Hongkies are rude arrogant ugly three-eyed hooded hogs. Customers and foreigners are ripped and fleeced and some are threatened by wayward gangsters looking like traders.

I wonder why Disney built their famed theme park here where the waterfront is filled with people in boats throwing just about every bit of shit into the ocean and killing the environment.

I simply don’t know and can’t understand why Chinks scramble to visit this barbaric land full of knifing sick headed goons. And Hong Kong isn’t a cheap country either. If you want to get robbed, please book the earliest flight, go there and get robbed. Every honkie or donkie that passes you by is either looking to rob or 'kang foocuk' you or scare the shit outaye.

And now since Hong Kong is under China’s arse...what more is there to.....anyway to talk or brag about.

Hosni and the Pyramidians...

Hosni Mubarak has resigned. Good riddance. It took a big push by Egypt’s “people power” to ouster Hosni and the rest of the Mubarakas out of Egypt. I mean a greedy a-long-coming swayer met his fate. 

Comprente.

With the level of corruption in Egypt and the billions of assets accumulated over a period of 30 years or so, what else can the Egyptians, drowned into poverty and pity do then revolt and create anarchy. Yes...that’s the word. ANARCHY.

Hosni and the Mubaraks, their families, relatives and maybe next-of kin fled to another country with their assets intact – a whopping 70 billion dollars American. (from sources I read over the net). That’s a lot of money for one man or one dynasty to handle. I wonder what kind of a nation would want to grant him “amnesty” or shelter a screwed-up of a man like Hosni. Shame on the asylum giver to the seeker. The asylum giver should too be scourged.

And now as I write this, a string of chain revolutions and revolts are hitting across the Middle East like foraging locusts. Maybe it’s high time for people like the remorseless Mommar Ghadafi to face his fate. He is another long time ‘cactus’ and so is Fidel Castro. Why won’t these guys kick the bucket?  These so called tyrant leaders have actually eaten up the Middles East leaving the rich richer and the poor penniless. Maybe history is coming back alive. Past histories had said larger empires deem to rule for eternity had fallen from grace due to people power. Now the very same banality has come to eat up those who have defied to move on.

Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither should rulers rule all day.

Arabic speaking people are now revolting in Yemen, Bahrain, Libya, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Morocco, Kuwait, Jordan, Djibouti, Syria, Algeria and a flint revolution had sparked in China calling it the Jasmine Revolution. Sweet name for a revolution don't ye thnk. Many parallels can be drawn between the Egyptian uprising, Tunisia and the likes of what is happening in the Middle East right now. But the irony is that, Mubarak escaped unhurt. He never came under the sword or the gallows like Saddam Hussein.  One lucky Egyptian and that so he had refused to step down.

Democracy hopefully would again be revived in Egypt. Congratulations.

What about the other nations on this side of the planet including Malaysia.  Will there be a similar one here like in Egypt?

Heh!!  We need a revolution too, you know. It’s healthy.

Datuk Tony Fernandez...

To Datuk Tony Fernandez

I know you were awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services in promoting commercial and educational links between Britain and Malaysia and something somewhat similar to that I suppose from the French as well.

Kudos and congratulations – to you and to Air Asia. From my little musings and readings, I know not of any dark skinned Malaysian born entrepreneur receive such awards let alone from a foreign Government.  This is a defo KUDOS undoubtedly.

It’s all plausible to read you a person in an industry hardly imaginable make that much “paparazzi” in this part of the world we call Asia when Malaysia is all about the cake and icing belonging to the master-race Moslems and nothing less.

That must be a hell of a gadabadonk to you.

Air Asia is now the ‘taxi’ for many Malaysians. The caption cliché, ‘Now All Can Fly’ is popular in not only here but to all destinations your birds fly to. Many low budget airline industries haven’t made what you and your pet ‘science-project’ industry have done in a short span of time and in revolving hiccups as well. Again yes - plausible.

And now you’re into Formula One – toys only white men play and fiddle with. You have embraced the league of the mega-insane infidels. Now this is beyond imagination as well. I wonder if you’ll be going into train travel business as well and that so only you can tell as Sir Richard Branson runs trains too. (just asking...hic!)

Now, Tony - albeit all these praises, accolades and laurels and money rolling like jackpot-winnings into AirAsian pockets, I do, the hopeless me, see pit and shortfalls. I do see the very motto you build around us crush by you – which I may (with permission) call it CHEATING.

I believe many observant-minded lame travelers like me see the loophole but what are we suppose to do? Will Air Asia not give a damn if we bring it to your sane senses? I think not. Many know and am sure you would have been asked by many as well. Why should you even, a giant of sorts, consider listening to queries qualms of the travelling public anyway? (I did browse your latest QNA ‘gimmick’ in your website.)

Anyway, if you choose to put aside your heighten gait and mellow down to a man-in-the-street stature, then do please read what I’ve got to say.

You rake in millions when the public use your airline services. But what about the scores of travelers buying tickets and not being able to travel on the day of flight? Why isn’t the money discounted and returned back to them. How can you sit all day and think about your expensive toys when the very money (partly) you rake and make to build your castles is somewhat amalgamated from non-utilizing your fly services? How can you hold unwarranted money? What do you call this kinda airline-trade if not cheating plundering?

In simplicity – how come you don’t have a refund counter in your industry which is now festering?

Other transport industries, a lot cheaper in stature and income do have refund counters. Even Thai Railways do have non-travel counters. (money returned after a discount.) 

I’m not talking about the travel delays your industry never rue about, or the impartiality of the air fares you charge, or even about the all red-white clad arrogant and racist bimbo stewardesses you employ who grin and look like poison ivys and swagger too or even the rude behemoth narcissist your personnel we have to put up with. This is about you not giving us back what is rightfully NOT yours to take.

Tell me Tony – if I’m not asking too much – how will one know of an impending travel one takes in the future and when that very day arrives, a calamity strikes on behalf of the passenger or a dear one falls sick or kicks the bucket? 

Maybe you may wana employ a gypsy or a genie to forecast all future travelers’ dates of passengers to see if no impeding delay or cancellation is due on the passenger’s behalf. But can you do that?

Why this greed? 


Observation 2 :

Why do your air fares between two destinations differ tho the two destinations geographically do not move? Why aren’t the fare same when the time taken and the journey is ALWAYS the same irrespective of when you travel. Is this somewhat a clowning jester by your good Air Asia?

Maybe other airlines have their own senile version of making the customer look dim but do you have to forage your clientele as well?

Believe me, apes do look alike tho’ both have different DNA and gene structure. Or maybe this is what we travelers have to wake up to – to the snide cheating and hoodwinking traits – some ‘trait’ you geniuses have and please don’t tell or give us your ‘Air-Asia’ size of problematic stories. We don't have that much grey matter to harness and understand.

We want to know what you once called LOW COST TRAVEL is now none of that no more.

Thank you.

Interlok...

Hey bro..why so much of commotion la over this Interlok issue?

Some so called self-professed / induced Sastrawan has depicted Indians as Pariahs and the entire Hindu and other Indian descendants are rallying a protest.

Why only now you fellows wana do this? Almost every other day in Parliament, the word Pariah oozes out like butter from the so-called non-pariahs.

And moreover are we not pariahs?  Pariah is still a recognized human-caste in India. The only thing is that it is definitely not the lowest I think.

And moreover, do we become lesser a human when someone calls us Pariah??

Tell u what am gonna do...am gonna seize dis moment and call myself a proud pariah.

Tell me....where can you find a "pariah" who worked as a trainer / banker in a bank, a writer/ translator  for Angkasapuri, someone whose brochure write-ups are now with NAM nations, and currently pursuing to launch his debut Novel (not about pariahs) and earning handsomely working for a super giant IT company on this planet? 

Lets see if you non-pariahs can beat that.

Oiiii Melayu......

Adui... Melayu Melayu. A certain political party youth chief said before Valentine Day.

"Preemptive measures are needed to promote a sin-free lifestyle" and this got SIS (Sisters In Islam) agitated. Can't blame them for they're only sisters.

In August last year, it was quoted Valentine’s Day and New Year celebrations were among the major causes of baby dumping in Malaysia, as both occasions encourage liberal socializing and free sex. Haha..now the Malays of Malaysia are talking about sin free lifestyles.

Woi...Melayu...you mimpi ke ape? Sin free life style konon??  You tak sin ka?  You tak cakap benda2 haram ke? You tak khalwat ke? You tak rogol anak sendiri ke?

Bodo.

Father rapes daughter – Melayu.

Mother throws baby – Melayu.

Mat rempit and all the havoc - Melayu.

Drugs & ganja – Melayu.

Corruption – majority Melayu.

Gelagat artis – Melayu.

Gosip lucah – Melayu.

Scandal sex - Melayu.

Jual baby – Melayu

Semua ini bukan sin ke?  And they the youth want to police the public onthe sins committed on Valentine’s Day.  Do they even know what Valentine means?

To make all this farce simple and straight, let me tell you a simple story.  Tak’yah pakai otak. Baca pakai mata cukup.  Kalau-kalau you tak paham, lebih  baik pee terjun dalam laut and save us all the blushes.

Here goes...

I beli compass. Compass itu ade 4 penjuru.  Satu penjuru – Melayu. Satu Cina.   Satu India dan satu Pendatang.

Setiap kali a sin is committed or published in papers dan bila saya lihat penjuru   dalam compass tu...pasti ia akan arah kat Melayu (majority).

The lifestyle of Malays have culminated to such an extend. Here is a Malay   dumbwit (Youth Chief) telling Malaysians to stay away from sinning on Valentine’s  day. But does he know almost every other day, Malays are sinning out rightly?  Does he...Doesn't he?

Asking his hodoh ketam to jalan straight konon...

Hoi....sedar la diri. Put yourself in others’ shoes and try to analyse society. And  moreover...the Malays often tell the non-malays – “don’t meddle with our religion  and beliefs or our women.” Fine.

Anyone can understand that.  So can a kid but do they do what they preach?

If that is so, you should NOT interfere or poke your filthy nose into other religions’  affair and life styles as well. What the other religion do apart from the molsems is  NONE of your BLOODY concern. Dah la you bodo papan, lagi-lagi keluar statement dua kali bodo.

Scientist have proven that a beruk can be thought to learn and understand what  some humans till today still find it impossible to do so. But the Malays, given all  the luxuries and titles, can‘t even keep their house in order.

Oiii....Melayu... ni petua untuk you...kalau-kalau you nak gaduh, gaduh dalam   rumah cukuplah. Jangan la gaduh sampai you baling lontar pinggan mangkuk   you keluar tingkap kena pada jiran.

Then you get people like me writing to popularkan your stupidity.

Valentine is also for individuals to extend their love to their parents or loved ones.

Valentine is also for courting couples whether the female wear panty or not. (last year Valentine's huu haa slogan..remember!!!.)

Valentine is also to show your love and appreciation to your favourite teacher, adviser, friend, postman, fireman or even Superman if I may...

Valentine is NOT about sex and getting laid. I don't blame the Melayus because  this is exactly what they perceive. Receiving a bouquet of flowers or even chocolates from a loved one is by far  more humanistic then being Melayu and having our Melayus - mostly hierarchy  lanun brandishing their stupidity in public.

In Japan, the men go on a shopping spree to buy women undergarments for   Valentine's day. Have the Japs became cave dwelling society / populace?  Or have they lost their morals and grown backwards.

1 MalayISA flak...

A blogger’s response  (anonymous) on one of the reasons why 1Malaysia hogwash cannot be a reality. 

Extracted  from a blog.

Edited for easy read.

Kami bangsa Malaysia walaupun kerajaan kami anggap kami Cina. Apakah logik ini, tak fasir cakap Bahasa Malaysia atau Bahasa Melayu bermakna tak setia atau racist? Hantar anak ke sekolah vernacular dan bukan sekolah kebangsaan bermakna tak setia atau racist?

Sejak tahun '70-an kami sedar negara Cina akan jadi negara penting dan dengan penduduk begitu ramai menjadi pasaran yang begitu besar. Itu sebab kami hantar anak-anak kami ke vernacular school dengan pengenalan bahasa Mandarin mereka akan ada peluang kerja yang lebih luas. Itu bukan racist.

Lama dahulu, saya hantar anak saya ke sekolah nasional. Apa berlaku? Di sana, cikgu dia sebelum mula kelas akan berdoa secara Islam. Orang beragama Islam memang takut anaknya dipengaruhi agama lain dan akan bantah kalau Cikgu Kristian bermula kelas dengan berdoa secara Kristian. Sama juga kami yang beragama lain. Itu racist kah?

Tahukah anda dalam sekolah kebangsaan, ada cikgu Melayu diskriminasi terhadap orang bukan Melayu. Lagi, ada oleh kerana dasar NEP ada ramai cikgu-cikgu tidak cekap mengajar Bahasa Inggeris, Matematik dan Sains. Kami yang ada pengaruhan yang begitu nipis boleh mengubah keadaan itu kah? Itu alasan kami tidak hantar anak-anak kami ke sekolah kebangsaan.

Walaupun mungkin ada overt discriminasi (harap tidak luas) tapi itu bukan dari orang bukan Melayu sahaja. Tanpa NEP dan lain-lain, pun ada diskriminasi orang Melayu terhadap orang bukan Melayu. Itu malang kejadian seluruh dunia. Itu boleh jadi sebab kenapa harus ada diskriminasi RASMI terhadap orang bukan Melayu kah? Supaya hampir tak ada peluang orang bukan Melayu menjadi kakitangan kerajaan dan lain lain.

Immigration Department...

Well!  My passport is coming to its demise in 6 months time and our beloved Immigration Department sent me a note reminding me of the impending document expiry with the date of expiration quoted.  

Thank you pihak Immigrasi for the reminder though I'm well aware of the date even before I received the note.

So...what do I do?

The first thing that came to my mind is to get into  www.imi.gov.my to see how I should go about getting a renewal of my passport.

I clicked and clicked all over the site reading earnestly and the more I kept doing that, the more I got balled-over and embarrassed.  After a while, I decided to stop the browsing and to spend my one Saturday or Sunday at the nearest Immigration office.  It isn't about the info being insufficient, but the way and nature this web site is written in English is appalling.

This is not about me taking a swipe at the Malaysian Government but if a website is exposed with such irregularities and semantics mayhem, who wouldn't.

I‘ve a few examples quoted below from www.imi.gov.my for your reading laughter...

See if you can spot the ‘laughters’.

Hahaha….

Aren't Immigration personnel trained to look or observe at applicants before processing travel documents.

They're many inconsistencies with the Malaysian Immigration's website but only if I have the time to go through it. They're better things to read and do for now.

Sachin Tendulkar...

..."Batsmen walk out into the middle alone. Not Tendulkar. Every time Tendulkar walks to the crease, a whole nation, tatters and all, marches with him to the battle arena..."

I cant believe an Indian poet and critic C.P. Surendran said this.

HOW MORE DUMB AND DAFT ARE YOU INDIANS ANYWAY?

If stupidity had a yardstick of measurement, you can always get it from Indians.

Chink shit...

The below caption, I hope becomes a world cliché.

“India and China are great countries but not the Indians or Chinese.”

Can anyone tell me, "Is there anything out there NOT made from mother lode China?” Everything I browse, look, smell or read seems to be made in China. What the fish? What’re the other nations doing anyway – laying eggs for China to hatch?

China makes inferior designer clothes, faulty electrical goods, self assembly broken furniture toys cars trucks engines, mould cheap plastics, prepare contaminated food...gosh... the list goes on like a menu. I couldnt believe even BMW cars are assembled in China. And when they aren’t busy making all of the above they’re either picking a fight with neighbours Taiwan which is a good thing or trying to screw American’s arses. In fact they’re so good at their craft they can make fake shit out of their own shit. And the hilarious part is that almost everything they make isn’t a penny's worth. The goods these hog looking Orientals make and manufacture are a genuine reflection of themselves – cheap, ersatz, fake, disgusting and utter useless.

Someone bought a new computer, took it home, unwrapped the package, read the broken English instructions, powered it up and what-you-know, the damn computer did not even blink. (brand name withheld). Looked here and there and on the underside of the computer saw a faint silver sticker that said “Made in China.”  

How can a new product bought off the shelf not work?

Angry and frustrated, the whole package was taken back to the very idiotic blockhead Chinaman's store to demand an explanation and exchange…but guess what the mather China fellor  said…”you suda beli ma…apa pasai u talak chek ma.”

Every word ends with the word ma…Ma your ass. Chinese bastards.

Where is the quality control for Chinese “rubbish” sold in Malaysia? Is there any?  And the Chinese thicko swine brandish themselves as intelligent.

Intelligent my arse. Even a retard donkey can fair better than you worthless hogs.

I guess every Chinese is born with a handbook called “Cheat, Lie and Abate every mother F*******” just like during dickhead Mao’s time where every “sepet” swine was required to carry a red handbook.

This unhealthy push towards making China a manufacturing giant is a BIG GLOBAL MISTAKE and a nightmare to the word MANUFACTURNG INDUSTRY. And please don’t tell they’re the new emerging tiger or giants in world economy. You don’t become an economy giant of any sort by manufacturing goods that is lesser in worth and quality than the ones sold in Petaling Street. I hope some conglomerate giant or even a street urchin sues them for big bucks and bankrupts these knifing Chink’s economy.

Nowadays, salesman proudly say, “This one come from China” like the whole world is ‘guggin’ for it. If I've my say it will be simply this – “This one made manufactured and prepared in BODOH BABI CINA”.

Why can’t I? 

Am I to pay good money for something cheap or for the quality of dirt? This matters to me most as I don’t want to franchise or even populate something inferior and swell up that idiots’ economy. We should not fatten the bank accounts of these cheaters for their worthless and useless products.

                  Even Amerian freedom is made in China .. hahah

We should rally a mega campaign or dedicate a day in a week to campaign for NOT buying CHINESE PRODUCTS.

Or better still rebrand all Chinese goods as “Please buy this shit. Made in China.”

Remember, Earth is exploited as well to enrich mother swine China.
