Saiful Medical Report

Saiful, who had accused Datuk Seri Anwar of sodomising him had himself first examined by Dr. Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid of Hospital Pusrawi and attached is the report as widely circulated in bloggersphere.




The examination and report was made at 2:14 pm on 28th June 2008.
This report was clarified by Mark C., a commenter on Raja Petra Kamarudin’s Malaysia Today website, where the medical report first appeared.
We know how difficult it is to read doctor’s handwriting and I believe Mark C is of the same breed.

There is argument that such report is violating the privacy between doctor and patient. We should also be reminded that there is also a law against concealing of evidence.
Saiful knew that evidence did not exist and yet made the police report.
He is making a mockery of our police force which otherwise would have better things to do.
Or do they?

The Quality of our Leaders And Patience of our Police Force thoroughly Exposed.

Wan Farid: What's the difference 20 or 50 minutes

TAKE TWO

What's the difference Rm1.92 or Rm2.70

It has been political ‘cat and mouse’ game between the opposition and the government for the past few weeks.
Somehow, the people that our PM had assigned to carry out the duties, had turned out to be liabilities to him rather than help, to secure more confidence in his government which had been badly scarred since the 12th general election, in march this year.

If the main-stream-media reports were to be believed, which we normally thought to be biased on the government side, than this indeed convinced the Malaysians more than ever that we had inherited in government, a bunch a no hopers, lack in focus and patience but full of arrogance and still convinced than it is not their own doings that had caused the Malaysians to be disillusion to them. It may perhaps hit the dead nail to the present ruling coalition.

Let us start with the debate between Anwar and Shabery.
The subject matter was on oil price increment and the opposition said that they would be able to reduce it if they were in government.
The government side in fact had lots of points to rebut this. One of which is perhaps to change the mentality of Malaysians not to be wasteful on limited resources and the perennial expected price subsidy attitude.
This was good forum for the government to lay their case and thrush out any lingering doubts that may be in the Malaysian minds. But no, instead of having an intelligent debate from the government, it had turned out to be a history lesson and accusations on its opponent, which were totally out of the subject matter of this debate.
While the opposition, represented by Anwar, gave the reasons on how they are able to do it and the benefits it brings.
If our PM still had full trust on such minister, I am sad on the prolonged consequences to our beloved nation.

We know very well that the opposition is doing what they can, to expose the weaknesses of the government and the subject is doing a splendid job to help them.
Such weaknesses are already inherent, to be exploited and the government just do not have the ability to change, it is already too ingrained.
It is becoming clearer by the day, that we indeed need a complete change, nothing can be worse than what we had, that is what the government seems to be telling its people from its actions. What a pity!

Another example, as reported by MSM, the CID police branch arrested the opposition leader before the deadline. The deadline was widely published by media and from the horse’s mouth itself.
Though they may not be wrong in doing this, but it shows the arrogance and impatience of our police force, which already had suffered in the past, out of their own doing. Do they simply lack intelligence and common sense?It only shows how capable they are in handling highly charged cases and in protecting the image of Malaysia by taking actions on presumptions. They are just dangerous!
Worse yet, our deputy in Home Ministry said what is the difference in 20 to 50 minutes. Now, such attitude only further convinces the Malaysians that our government just cannot keep a promise. It is just not in their habit.
These people in power have to change before the Malaysians change them!But then again….. don’t waste my time, they are just incorrigible!

Malaysia Today

The Malaysian government said we were spending almost 40 billion in fuel subsidy, in which just about equal our development budget for the year.
With our population at 26 million, this works out to rm1538.46 per Malaysian per year.
If this is distributed, that person who had 3 wives and going for the forth and had 18 children, would get a total of rm35,384.62 for his family, almost equal to his yearly salary of 36K per year. I don’t think he needs to work any more.

Jokes aside, where had all our billions gone to, was it used to improve our cost of production whereby foreign investors would find it attractive enough to invest here and multiply our billions of hard cash spent.
We are a net oil exporter and if foreign investors do not find us attractive enough, something must be very wrong somewhere.Our past policies must have been wrong and it is coming back to hound us.

I have to take our klang valley as an example, as it is the most industrialised part of our country. It cost quite a lot to stay in the klang valley of Malaysia, where most of the industries are and thus job opportunity.
The closer you can get to rent a residence, to your place of work, the higher is the rental and unfortunately such residences are also limited and fully occupied. The security is another problem.
After staying in the klang valley on and off for the past year, I have come to the conclusion that you need at least Rm900 per month now, just to stay there and move around. This does not include your other necessities. (This is beginning to sound something like a head count tax)

It seems everything goes in sync with each other, if you were to stay near a place where you work, the rent will be exorbitant and should you stay in another residential area away from the industrial area, you pay a high price for transportation or an unavoidable loss of time.
Thus my gut feeling is, you will have to spend that much if you are to stay alone and being a working person. This is beside the food that you have to consume and other necessities.
For a person to live decently in klang valley, he would need a job that pays at least rm1800 per month, anything less than that, he would be living like a rat in a rat hole.
I do not think, one would have much left over at the end of the month and he can forget about entertainment, just work like a slave.

So, can the Malaysian government bring down the cost of living in the industrialized area like klang valley, despite raising the cost of fuel?
Without a doubt, I think they can, if they are sincere in tackling this issue.
There had been so much abuse and conflict of interests in the past that it gives them a huge margin to adjust without burdening the Malaysians further.
There was desire to improve the public transport in 1996 after the fuel increment but as we could see, the desire was not to improve the mobility of the working people but for school children to school and housewives to do shopping.
The conflict of interest here, it seems, the government wanted the working class to have their owned form of transportation.
It wanted to see no end in the increasing sales of motorized vehicles.

It takes at least 4 changes in public transportation to get to your place of work on a single trip (return trip not included), if you are lucky and staying about 20 km from your place of work. This distance takes at least 2 hours in traveling and waiting time, on a single trip. Thus for a day, you spend 4 hours on a 8 hours working day just on transportation time. Don’t you think it is ridiculous?

The government had said that the fuel subsidy had reach a point where it almost equate the development budget for the year and thus the fuel price increased up to 40%.
It is only logical now, more important now than ever, to discourage vehicle ownership. The public transportation improvement should get the first priority.
Shaft those corridors, if you can convince at least 50% of the working class and industrial sector to used public transport, imagine the saving, it will be in billions and actually it will be self financing.
We do not know what the former transport and works ministers had been doing, to get us to such a mess but hey, this can be a blessing in disguise.
The present ministers can improve on this without straining the budget further.
If this is given the priority, our ministers should be talking and discussing about this, not the corridors, shaft those corridors for all I care!
We had been going down the wrong path for the past 25 years and it is about time we make the right turn.
