毒奶粉事件,大大的打击了中国产品在国际上的声誉。
如果我身为中国国民,我会感到羞愧。丑陋的商人为了利益,竟可不顾下一代的健康,损人利己。如此短视,中国还有未来吗?如我公公仍然在世(中国福建永春出生),必为此深感痛心!他们那一代,对中国是抱着多么大的期望啊!奥运办得轰轰烈烈又怎样,国际声誉此时已破坏殆尽!层出不穷的毒产品事件传出已久,一宗又一宗不时发生,当局反应迟钝极了,难道现任政府已不能有效的治理国家了吗?
今年中国发生的任何一件大事,除了四川地震的拯救工作值得称赞外,对其他事件的表现简直让人失望,在在显示了现任领导层办事能力的不足。
我非中国国民,我只是代表我祖父说说话。我觉得当局该痛下决心“变法”了。虽然看得出当局已在改革政治体制当中,但进展缓慢,只怕赶不上快速的经济进展。一个十三亿人的大国,就由七个人决定政策,这当真可行吗?就不能让“国会”(人民代表大会)来讨论并通过政策?是时候下放权力了!
地方势力似乎很大,说到底还是跟体制有关,当局有必要削弱地方势力以确保中央决策能贯彻全国,始终保持宗旨。我所知不多,希望当局已有相关答案。
官商勾结,亦是体制问题,官联公司能去多少是多少,目的是让官员好好做官,商人好好经商。任何商业决策、程序都需透明化,然后给予媒体更多的权力去追踪、报道,形成一种监督力,政府也不用这么头疼了。
全民教育更须强化!每个人都需学习儒家经商精神。当局能拿一些二十世纪南洋华侨的经商故事为教材,列为典范。这些先贤都是经典的儒商,个个强调诚信,个个始终贯彻儒家精神!例子就有陈嘉庚、李光前等人。这些人当年都是先从中国走出去成功经商的一批!他们以儒家精神经商的经验对目前商业至上的中国是难能可贵的!商业之上已让人伦尽失,每个人往“钱”看,致富成了人生最大目标,颠倒了是非!儒家精神将恢复中华文明根本,唤醒这些迷失的人们的儒家根本,让社会健康发展。须知,社会是会因道德堕落而失序的。社会不稳,共产党也别想长久执政。
幸好共产党当局不掩盖事实,让媒体据实报道,这令人欣慰。海外媒体也会因此而尊重共产党,而非一面抨击。
中国大陆的宝贵传统文化、书籍等皆于文革时惨遭蹂躏、毁于一旦、地位跌至不值一文。人民丧失了精神依靠,行事没指导。共产党犯了如此滔天大错,就有责任把错误纠正过来。事事以民为主是永不会错的,历史已证实之!如此政权才会长久!领导人也会流芳百世!个个官员、商人以民为主将会形成健康的利益圈,而国家实力才会百尺竿头、更进一步!
望全体中国人民加油。为了爷爷!拼吧!

human can migrate to South Pole?
The world's largest lake lies beneath the South Pole mainland. Not only one, but many others. Also, you can find streams or rivers there too!
Based on all these facts, people start to wonder if there are other civilizations or other creatures?
In the 16th century, a Turkey general drew a map. Nobody knew what land he drew about. After some time scientists discovered that it was actually a bird-eye's view map of the South Pole mainland! Why was he able to draw the map? Some more it is a bird-eye's view map! It is beyond our imagination. Does it mean this general flew over the South Pole mainland? If so, how did he do that?
In additional, there are a lot of enormous creatures living at the South Pole sea! A plesiosaur body was found on 11th October 2006 near one of the South Pole islands! This creature is very much like the frequent spotted Nice water creature.
Below are some interesting stuff:
In year 1962, a Soviet submarine found a strange man-fish creature boy in pacific near Cuba. The boy told them there are creatures like him living below the pacific ocean.
The Sumerian worshiped a half man fish creature.
On 1930, a bird mouth man was found in Estonia.
On 1825 & 1972, during a military exercise, the army suddenly noticed a USO(unidentified sea object) bursting out from the thick iceberg at 7 degree! At that moment every machine & electronic devices stopped operating for sometime! It appeared that that phenomenon had caused a blackout to the surrounding area!
In Africa, green skin tribe were found! Yes you are right, they have green skin! They claimed that their ancestors are from Uranus. They worshiped a triphibian creature! It can live in water, on land and it can fly!
There are so many things out there for us to find out! My respect to all scientists and archeologists! I wish one day i may contribute as well. I want to join you guys.

Pyramid In Eygpt
Wow! I just discovered some interesting facts about the 3 pyramids at Giza.
They are actually corresponding to The Orion and Nel River is actually corresponding to The Orion Galaxy.
The distance among the 3 pyramids are according to the golden proportional rule: 1 to 1.168!!
The pyramid is also a small model that simulates our solar system and earth!
The pyramid is built at an angle of 52 degree. It means, if you are standing on the peak of the Pyramid, you would not know there is strong wind at below.
Bear in mind that The Pyramid in Egypt is located at the north attitude at 30 degree, which is where a lot of great discovering of ancient civilization were found!
Also, on the Mars, there is a human face very much similar to The Sphinx and there are 5 things very much like the Pyramid. There are more mathematical facts about that. I can not list them one by one here now due to time constraints. You can find out yourselves.
More to find out!

林相如先生談八字
今天林相如先生在南洋商报的专栏文章没那么废了。他平常的文章对我来说简直是欺骗大众,鬼话连篇,说了等于没说,恕我时间有限,不能一一举例,但我非口说无凭,乱乱放炮。
今天他谈了命理学的作用。他举了个很好的例子,我在这里大概的简短说明。 他说命理学就像气象学,气象学提供有用的资讯如刮风、打雷等等于渔夫们,但此学并不能告诉渔夫今天能有多少鱼获及等等。命理学亦如是。它能告诉人们高潮及低潮期,至于人们能不能于高潮期顺流而上则看他们的造化了。同样的,如没必要,就别在低潮期尝试逆流而上,以防得不偿失。
换句话说,高潮期勇往直前,低潮期韬光养晦,能让我们有个较顺利的人生。
他也大概透露了八字计算法,皮毛而已。就是从八字中看五行。从五行的相生相克论,再配合个人每个八字的五行属性来作出这个人的一生命途大概如何。他举了一个“衰”人为例以进一步解说。
我非第一次听到此说法,而我一向来都是非常认同此说法的。
我希望林先生日后能继续写些诸如此类的好文章,而不是些废话,否则则有损名声矣。

Japanese Invansion to Malaya during WW2
Just read an article interviewing an old man who managed to survive during Japanese Occupation in Malay during World War 2.
There is a part where he said there were a lot of Japanese businessmen back then. They turned into some major or sergeant after Japanese army conquered Malaya. That is their real identity.
This reminds me one story that my English tuition teacher told us before: When he was still a kid, there was this Japanese old businessman neighbor who always gave him & his fellow playmates sweets. To them, he was just another kind old man. The kids were joyful. They liked this old guy very much. In the end, only they found out his real identity is spy. He did not say or he was not sure of what did the guy do as a spy tough. The memory that he got was the old guy was good. Like any grandpa that me and you can see anywhere on each day.
At the end of the article, Mr Wu, the interviewer, criticized the militarism mindset that is still haunting the Japanese. They never really feel "they are wrong" about the occupation. This kind of thought is scary. My personal opinion, those who were involved in those evil deed should sincerely apologize to their victims and start treasure the harmony from today onwards. After all, it is a value of what the Japanese Buddhism Group Sokko Kadai have been promoting.
Japan will win more respect from its surrounding neighbours if they really sincerely apologize.

Back to old tech? Oh no...
So today, i met Lim KY. He is a project manager. He is currently handling a bank system project team. I am not sure what system is that but i was told it is already a phase 2 project. I may take part in the UAT session of phase 2, and phase 3 too.
After bidding farewell to him, i asked one of the team members what technology they use. Unfortunately they are using those obsolete technologies such as Java 1.4, EJB2, Struts 1.2 and so on. Oh no, not even using Object Relational Framework or Dependency Injection Framework. I need to dig deeper in those areas. I want to try out JBoss Seam, more Spring, EJB3, more Hibernate and so on. I need to sharpen those. Now my dream will likely break. I know it is normal for a client like bank to use those technology they are comfortable with because they are proved to be stable. So i can not blame. I am wondering if i shall talk to my manager to avoid working on something i do not like.
I do not know how long will the phase 3 last. I just know that working in this project will not offer me a chance to travel to oversea. That is what i am looking forward to: to communicate with oversea colleagus or clients, i want to improve on that part. Furthermore now i am going to use the obsolete technologies. It is a double blow to me. I do not want to waste my time doing things i do not like. I want to achive my goal as soon as possible before i get married. As you guys out there know, normally man will lose lots of freedom after getting married. Sorry, i should say this phenomenon is common in Asia.
Wish me good luck.

Are we from Mars?
The human face on Mars. The pyramid on Mars. The water on Mars.
Is there any life on Mars?
Can human move to Mars?
Are we actually from Mars? As there are so many ancient legends telling us the 'spaceship' story?
If we are from Mars, then what had actually happened to Mars back then? Why our Mars ancestors chose to move to Earth? Where did water on Earth come from?
Is there really an ocean beneath the Mars land surface? Will we discover life in there?
Those Mars machines were washed by rains? Why they look so clean all the time? What has caused this? The rain?

bomber & cowboy on the moon?
Neil Armstrong saw many footsteps on the moon when he made his first step on the it. this particular part was removed by NASA from the video because it was too shocking! Who made those footprints? Years later those moon astronauts claimed that they saw all kinds of weird things outside the spaceship while on their way to moon. What are those weird things? They claimed that they were being trailed by some unidentified flying object. What was that? Fortunately they managed to make it to the moon. Nevertheless, there is something shocking, a Soviet satellite saw an American WW2 bomber on the moon before! Sometimes it was there and sometimes it disappeared suddenly! Besides that, at a different time, a dead cowboy was also seen on the moon! Did all these 'earth' things travel through some special 'tunnel' ???
In spite of that, a Soviet spaceship was reported vanish before during the space competition between Soviet and the U.S period. Before the spaceship was gone, the crew said the spaceship was surrounded by some kind of 'light'. Interesting isn't it?
When can we know all the truth? Are we really being supervised by some unidentified being? If so, why did they allow The U.S spaceship to land on the moon? Does NASA ever land on the moon? or it was just a show so that the news can be seen as a victory over Soviet?
Please let us know the truth. It something that every human has to know.

Great conversation with friends
I had a gathering with my university mates at 1U on 17 September 2008, which is a holiday in Selangor. We had a great conversation.
We talked about religions. One of my friend, who is a Methodist, said his Christian fellow will get angry every time he questions on the logic of certain Christian teachings. For example, if there are only heaven and hell for human to go to after death, then the number of being in hell is surely greater than the number of being in heaven as the rule to the heaven is so strict. Then the power of devil who governs the hell is surely greater than 'god' who governs the heaven. That is only one of many relevant topics that we discussed. Of course we did not only talk about Christian, but other religions as well.
We concluded that religion is a system. A system will surely have logical flaws. Of course we do not know if there is something that is beyond the logical flaw but for certain if based on the current knowledge we have, nothing can really explain the logical flaw of every religion or every system. It is a universal law.

Ugly King Of Thai
The King of Thai is another ugly one. I really think he explains why the monarchy system should be abolished. Monarchy emphasizes "privilege" be given to a minority group - the noble one who is actually a normal human like us.
In the past 60 years the military "coup de tat" always happened with the secret approval from the King of Thai whenever his great wealth is being threatened by the government then. Just check the history of the "coup de tat" that happened in year 1981, 1985 and 2006. It is all about money. The government and King of Thai are just playing games and the people who live in poverty are the one suffering the most.
The current biggest opposition party in Thailand very much support the idea to increase service tax, to reduce the cost that is meant to help people living in poverty and to set a limit to suppress the working salary of the labor. You know what? The king of Thailand supports this idea!!! He is "indeed" a good king!!!
In short, i think, nobody should enjoy the so called 'privilege'. The royalties are born as normal human too. They are like us. Nothing different. So, please please everyone of you help abolish the monarchy system. First of all, let us pull down the one in British first. That one really makes me sicked.

老马又开炮
http://test.chedet.com/che_det/2008/09/malay-unity-and-malaysian-unit.html
老马又要挑起事端了,这次要利用部分史实来强化他种族主义的论点。
嫌国内政局还不够乱吗?股市已跌接近1000点了。
说华人和印度人不愿接受同化,简直是在放屁!我想多数大马华人印度人都很乐意学习马来语。很明显的,我们的阻碍来自两点:
1)同化包括:被强逼皈依伊斯兰教、奉行马来人文化和舍弃华人姓名。
2)经济上:政府又处处以保护马来人利益为借口来限制别族的赚钱或升学机会。
这两点,都是问题的根源!都是造成大马人民不能团结的祸首!
还有,挑起事端地人总是那些印裔穆斯林(在大马我们称他们为嘛嘛),他们就是那些很会经商的一群。当年他们看到自己的商业利益逐步被华人侵蚀所以才认自己为马来人并强调需打击其他的种族。
这是有根据的!因为佩特拉亦有撰文透露这点。大家去找找看。

unknown histories about Singapore
Watched a documentary that talks about some unknown history Singapore.
When Singapore was expelled from Malaysia, Lee Kuan Yew was crying after hearing the news from radio. He was sad because he did not have a clear direction for his 'child', which is Singapore to go for. Nobody looked good on Singapore at that time as it was only a third world country port without any natural resources. Back then, it was really a tough job for Lee Kuan Yew.
At that time there were 3 isolated countries in the world: Israel, Republic of China(Taiwan) & South Africa. Therefore Lee Kuan Yew seeked for help from the RoC as he was a strong anti-communist politician. His relationship with the then President of RoC 'Jiang Jing Guo' was close. The good relationship started even before Jiang Jing Guo took over the president seat. Lee Kuan Yew visited RoC very frequently then. The rate was about once or more than once per year. Each time Jiang Jing Guo treated him as special guest.
Lee Kuan Yew's visit to Taiwan was not of no intention. Political system wise he adopted a lot of RoC's ideas as RoC is one of the Repulic in Asia then. RoC even helped build Singapore military system by sending a few good officers who later became important military officers in Singapore. Of course the help was not without any reward. Singapore helped RoC to purchase weapons and did a number of kind of sensitive things. It also became the 'international representative' of RoC as RoC's diplomacy was defeated badly by People's Republic of China then. RoC would always get Singapore's help to transmit messages to the worldwide.
Singapore's idea of welcoming talented people from worldwide are actually originated from RoC as well. In year 1985 Singapore was facing serious economic growth problem. The world's economic turned bad, the atmosphere was very much like the one right now. Singapore's economic growth percentage of that year was 0%! It was a big blow to Lee Kuan Yew. While his good friend the RoC managed to achieve a 6%! Lee Kuan Yew asked Jiang Jing Guo why his country was able to do that. jiang jing Guo said it's due to the policy of encouraging talented people to come to Taiwan and also due to the government's policy of encouraging creative and innovation in technology. Lee Kuan Yew was impressed and he quickly went to RoC for a toru of obversation. He spent a few days in the technology park! His earnest attitude impressed a lot of RoC officers. He brought back all the ideas to Singapore and immediately applied them and nowadays it is even doing much better than the RoC now.
I never expect Lee Kuan Yew believe in Feng Shui. The story is: Back into year 1997, the economic downturn came like a strong wind and defeated a lot of countries in Asia. Singapore was hit as well. Then the Feng Shui consultant of Singapore suggested that each Singaporean had to carry a 'Ba Gua' (Chinese ancient 'Eight Trigram'). The problem was: how to get every Singapore to carry that kind of awkward thing? Hence the government came out with an idea, which is to put the 'Ba Gua' in the 1 dollar coin! If you notice, the 'Ba Gua' was actually put into all 1 dollar coins that were published after year 1997!
Lee Kuan Yew strongly believes that dictatorship would help growing a country by ensuring a stable political environment. He objected jiang Jing Guo's idea of allowing 'democracy' to his country. However Jiang Jing Guo did not listen to him and now RoC's democracy was quite a role of model for the Asia countries.
Well, i am glad to be able to know this history.
