Received an email from my ex-colleague the other day and was shocked that the shit happened and to our horror, she sustained injuries after falling onto a pavement which requires her to seek medical attention at the prosthodontics department and maxillo facial department. By the way, I’m refering to a snatch theft tragedy here. As I have experienced it first hand myself last year (luckily minus the injury, though), I know what she’s going through now. Before this, there was another colleague who was snatched right at the door of her apartment. Man, this is all crazy. Malaysians are all fucked up crazy. Pigs are idiots.

As we all know, many of all these snatch thieves are of that pig race, we often fail to understand why they would resort to this sohai craft. Ok, lets do some analysis. Here’s something I can sum up to:

1. Many of these society’s scum are those “nata karan” (a Tamil word which is unknown to me of its origin). Many of them have a similar trait. They are those who hails from kampungs (villages), not educated, poor upbringing, the fact that they are stupid and they know it but they still have no initiative at all even to get a job as a rubbish collector (Alam Flora), just loiter around in five-foot way… wasting time talking cock, or perhaps.. if situation permits, trying to rape their family member.

2. Some of these scums of pigs have a day job… probably as a despatch boy, a security guard or a window cleaner just to name a few. And as we all know, the wages for a pig is far lower as compared to an Ah Beng or maybe a macha for some job. This all drived them to resort to this sohai craft for an additional source of income. And they certainly need to do it because of the higher cost of living in KL is too much for them to bear.

3. They just want easy money and they are lazy. Sometimes have you ever wondered why we see a lot of pig men in their cars waiting to pick up someone at the office building entrance ?! You can know whether they work or not by looking at their clothes. Some brought along their kids and clad in just a t-shirt and a trouser, waiting for their wife/girlfriend to leave office at 5.30pm. Don’t these idiots work? I wonder how they manage to get home to change the clothes and bring along the kids after they (the husbands/boyfriends) dismises working hour. Man, I think they don’t mind “eating slipper rice” (“getting a lady to feed your fucking mouth”; grinding is left to the wife/girlfriend)

So… please take precaution when you’re on the streets of KL. Never walk on the outer side of the pedestrian pavement.

So, this year we will be having a makan feast. BBQ-steamboat buffet. All you can eat.

Venue: Restoran Talipon (Telephone Restaurant), Jalan Kuchai Lama {NON-HALAL}
Date: 1st April 2006 (Saturday)
Time: 7.00pm (sharp?), hopefully you all can be there by 6.30pm to snap up tables.

*No dresscode but bear in mind that there may be some oil from the BBQ hot pan. So white clothes is not very advisable. Up to you. Don’t wear thick clothes as you will sweat like hell. They (the restaurant) sell beer.

So, this is not where Lee is working. Definitely not although this restaurant is also named Swiss Garden. But why “swiss garden”? Is it because the words rhymes? Why don’t they name it Shangri-La Steamboat and Fish Head Restaurant? Who cares. Its located at Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya (PJ tai kong ??). Its very near to the eye-catching Baywatch Cafe/Pub. There’s a few rows of new shops around that area which can be seen from the NKVE.

Ok. Well, the food here I’m reviewing are the porridge steamboat (chuk tai fo wo) and some other dishes. First things first, the porridge was very carefully blended with, of course, fragranced rice (beras wangi) and skins of soya bean milk (fu chuk). The aroma is just mouth-watering. Then, there are the normal seafood stuffs like the fishballs, meatballs, prawns, crabmeat roll, “white vege” (direct translation from Chinese), “life vege” (direct translation from Chinese), fish fillets, fish noodles, porkballs, beancurds, golden needle mushrooms, dumplings, wan tan‘s bla bla bla etc. Just like the normal steamboat, you just dump everything into the pot of porridge and let it cook. Be ready in minutes. Oh, by the way, they still have a list of steamboat stuffs which you can add for your meal.

Besides the steamboat, this restaurant have their own recipes for chickens and fishheads. As they are famous in fishheads (or so they claimed), they have fishhead curry and many other types of fishead dishes. As I went yesterday with my family, we had this mak chap kai (I dont know what its called in English, its a chicken dish though). It came with some chopped gingers sprinkled on it. Man, sometime its very hard to translate the cooking jargons to English if you’re not so keen in cooking.

Overall the place is not bad. Worth a try. At least there’s a lot of parking space, the area is still not so crowded and its still clean. The restaurant’s toilet is clean. In terms of porridge steamboat, they are still not to the level in terms of varieties of steamboat stuffs with the one in Pudu, Farmland Porridge Steamboat. But, at Pudu you have to look for parking space which is scarce and wait for your turn to be seated. Hell damn a lot of people. Maybe because they are the famous pioneer. Ok, enjoy your food. We live to eat. “man yi sek wai thin”.

Fraud A Worrying Crime, Says IGP
15 March 2006, By BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR — The police are finding it hard to fight fraud cases where criminals of criminal breach of trust (CBT), cheating and forgery have amassed a whopping RM784.9 million in 6,422 cases last year. Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Bakri Omar said the police were less successful in fighting fraud as compared to other crimes such as rape, murder and drug cases where the solving rate exceeded 40 per cent. “For fraud cases such as CBT, cheating and forgery cases, the solving rate is about 33 per cent or one third of the reported cases. But there are various reasons which contribute to this,” he said in a keynote address at the official opening of the seminar on ‘Insurance Fraud – Detection, Investigation and Prevention’ here Wednesday. Bakri said eventhough the number of cases increased by leaps and bounds, the number of officers under the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) remained at 80 officers, which eventually led to a backlog of cases. “Due to this, since January this year, the CCID has quadrupled its size (320 officers) when compared it was a branch of the Criminal Investigation Department,” he said. However, Bakri said there was a drop in fraud losses last year as against 2004 where fraudsters “got away” with RM813.7 million with a slightly-lesser 6,404 cases.

Bakri said commercial crime cases now were very complex and diverse with fraudsters continuing to be inventive and getting more sophisticated by the day which required knowledgeable and experienced officers to handle the cases. “Experienced criminal investigation officers with qualifications of law, accounting, multimedia, forensic accounting, banking are being roped in to carry out the challenging task,” he said. Bakri said the police had also set up its own forensic unit which had been very fruitful in solving many cases when assisting commercial crime investigations. He said periodic meetings between CCID officers with various bodies such as the Securities Commission, Bank Negara Malaysia and other professional bodies had benefitted the parties involved to curb the crime. “In these meetings, ideas and information are exchanged, minor problems are ironed out and red tapes are reduced. All these are aimed at providing a better service to the public,” he said. On insurance fraud, Bakri proposed insurance fraud to be identified as a specific crime as to define what constituted the crime, along with the penalties that could be imposed. He said the move would be easier to prosecute cases since it was timely to formulate significant provisions in the Penal Code to address the serious problem of insurance fraud. He also said immunity statutes should also be considered to provide protection for good faith exchange of information between insurers or law enforcement officials or organisation and exempt them from lawsuits brought against them.

Bakri said insurance fraud would push up the cost of operations of the industry and would in turn be passed to the general public which would end in paying higher premium. “So it is not a battle of the police alone, there must be sound cooperation and collaboration between the police, the insurance industry, adjusters and general public to thwart insurance fraud effectively,” he said. The seminar is jointly organised by the Malaysian Insurance Institute, The National Claims Society, the Association of Malaysian Loss Adjusters, Bank Negara Malaysia and the Royal Malaysia Police. The seminar aims to expose local and international participants on the current regional fraud scenario, latest strategies and techniques in preventing and detecting fraud, insight of police investigations, forensic investigation and the art of collecting fraud evidence.
