Only Raja Petra and all his readers don’t believe…
October 31st, 2008 by MM2H
In total that makes:
- Raja Petra = 1 person
- his readers = 10 million persons
All in all 10 million and one person not believing that there is no case against political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda having abetted the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.
1 person says Anwar has sodomized him:
got HUGE case!
1 person says Baginda has abetted the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder
NO case!
You believe?
And if you do believe:
why is one case a huge case and the other not even a case?

No test drive needed, just pay the F*&%ing RM200 million
October 29th, 2008 by MM2H
You like the above picture? Yes? So you buy? Yes? Ok, RM200 million:
DEAL!
By all means, what is all the fuzz about, it’s only a… helicopter!
You read that right: the Malaysian government signed a letter of intent to buy Cougar EC-725 Helicopters from Eurocopter.
Nobody even bothered to do a test flight.
Would you buy a car just buy reading what is said in the prospectus? No you don’t.
So why is the government buying helicopters without even testing them? Especially when you want to replace Nuri Sikorsky helicopters of which already 9 crashed on routine missions…
Smells fishy, doesn’t it? 
Not to mention:
- the deal was signed 2 days before DPM and PM switched defence and finance portfolios
- the high price involved
- the absence of a usual deep governmental study looking at all the advantages and disadvantages involved
- the sudden governmental decision to put the buy on hold until economy does better…
Wouldn’t you buy things because you need them in stead of spending money just because the economy is better?
And wouldn’t you at least try a helicopter before you buy it?

Food of Deepavali
October 24th, 2008 by MM2H
3 days to go to enjoy the delicious food of Deepavali.
Not being that religious, and not being in for Indian traditional Deepavali music and dance, for me this coming Deepavali Monday - October 27th - means my yearly indulging in Indian food. Don’t ask what food do Indians eat on Deepavali : it’s just too many names to remember and it doesn’t mean anything when you can’t taste it.
My friend’s mother Deepavali rituals include spending all day making murukku of which I prefer the ones formed into a spiral, see above picture.
Go to the supermarket and by all the savory snacks you can find: just nothing beats her murukku. I mean, where do you find fresh curry leaves inside a savory snack? That’s right, she has it and I bet other Indians will have it to. Just that I don’t happen to know too many.
Luckily I managed this year to visit New Delhi, so I brought some cloth to give to her to make Deepavali clothes. Just her murukku will pay back for all the money spend traveling 
If you never made any Indian friends, then you are loosing out big time now! But it’s never too late to go out and make new friends! In Malaysia that’s a bit hard these days, as most of the Indians there are detained under the ISA and 30.000 don’t even hold a passport 
Happy enjoying the food of Deepavali!
