When i was young, my teddy was my best friend. He looked so cute and innocent. Just like this:-
wah…so CUTE
Then one day, i accidentally discovered Teddy’s darkest secret
Almost everyday, all my email accounts are littered with emails from scammers wanting to give a few millions Dollar to me for save keeping. The latest was a Desmond Tucker from Liberia, claiming to have $21.5m in a vaults of a classified International Security company in Monrovia (Where on earth is that?).
The email written by “scammer” Des
As I had received his email in all my 4 email account on the same day,I decided to write him back, to show appreciation of his enthusiasm:-
Dear Des,
It is a pleasure knowing that you trust me with $21.5m. Why don’t you drop the money at my door step tomorrow morning? I promise that I will sleep on it every night. Until then, may God bless your kind heart.
Yours sincerely,
Frank
Now just when I thought that I had to be the dumbest person in the world to ask a scammer to do that, I saw the story of “scambaiter” Mike from UK.
Mike received a random email from a man claiming to be Prince Joe Ebon, chairman of a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Eboh said he needed to get money out of Nigeria and was offering to transfer $US25 million to Mike’s account if he would send his bank details. Mike was promised $6.25 million if he helped.
Mike sent an email back, calling himself Father Hector and saying he would love to help but he could only have business dealings with members of his religious order, the Holy Church of the Order of the Red Breast. Eboh said, of course, he would convert. Mike sent him details on how to paint a red circle over his breast to join. Eboh duly sent Mike a picture of himself with painted breast and signed a membership form vowing not to covet his neighbour’s ass, to never listen to hip-hop and to honour the words of church guru Shiver Metimbers. Eboh pleaded for $18,000 to register the church in Nigeria so he could transfer the $25 million. Mike hit back, saying that under church rules he had to pay a clearance fee of $80 before he could withdraw $18,000. As a monk he had no money and asked Eboh for it.
Surprisingly, Eboh sent Mike the money by courier, which cost him $49.Eboh was down $129. He then got a message from church elder Father Mike Myers saying Father Hector had run off with $18,000 in church Funds. Father Hector sent a last email telling Eboh he had lost the money investing in a business exporting snow to Siberia and run off to join a circus.
NOTE: The story of “scam baiter” Mike was published in Melbourne Age and Sydney Morning Herald
At last we are back in business!!!

Translation
Always acting so greedy, your soul will wither
She only uses difficult words, I can’t become good friends with her
I crash into an opposing wind and start bawling my eyes out
In the morning I forget it all, “Aaah…”
Let’s lighten our heads
Until we can ride up in the fluffy clouds
My walking path in spring has a coronet of yellow flowers
My walking path in summer is covered with a march of cicadas
More important than anything else, let’s join hands in the softly blowing wind
It feels just a little bit nice, and we notice it’s already twilight
Without noticing, relaxed, our pattern of happiness gradually changes
My sky has grown far wider than I ever thought it would
My walking path in autumn plays a melody rustling through fallen leaves
My walking path in winter projects an icicle moon on water
More important than anyone else, let’s join hands in the softly blowing wind
It feels even nicer than before, let’s laugh with faces that haven’t seen a thing
On my walking path in rain, we make a sidelong glance at the soaking wet bench
On my walking path in sunshine our shadows stretch out long
More important than anyone else, let’s join hands and proudly look before
We continue along our path without using the map we made
More important than anything else, let’s join hands in the softly blowing wind
It feels just a little bit nice, and we notice it’s already twilight

“George?”
“Yes?”
“This is God here …”
“Hi, God. What can I do for you?”
“I want you to stop this Iraq thing, George.”
“But you told me to do it, God!”
“No I didn’t, George …”
“But you did! You spoke to me through Karl, Rumsey and Dick and all
those other really clever guys!”
“How did you know it was me talking, George?”
“Instinct, God. I just knew it!”
“Do you really think I’d want you to unleash all this horror and
bloodshed on another lot of human beings?”
“But they’re Muslims! They don’t believe in You, God!”
“But, George, they do believe in me. Jews, Christians and Moslems all
worship the same Me! Didn’t you do comparative theology at school,
George?”
“No, of course not! You think I’m some sort of peace-waving
dope-headed liberal faggot-lover, God?”
“No, of course not, George, but I expect you to know something about
the people you’re bombing.”
“Oh, come on! I know it’s right to bomb those oily rag-heads until
there’s not one left to wipe a wrench on!”
“How do you know that, George?”
“Cause You tell me that’s what I should do, God.”
“George, I do not tell you to do that!”
“But I hear You, God! You speak to me! You tell me what to do! You
tell me what is Right and what is Wrong! That’s why I don’t need to
listen to any soft-baked, mealy-mouthed liberal Kerry-pickers!”
“George, you’re deluding yourself.”
“God! How can you say that? I got some of the most powerful people on
this planet down on their knees every day in the White House just
a-praying to You! Now are you gonna tell me You ain’t listening?
Because if You ain’t listening, God, that’s Your problem – not mine!”
“George, of course I’m listening – it’s you who is not listening to
Me!”
“And I’ll tell you why! ‘Cause You ain’t addressing me right.”
“What d’you mean, you jumped-up little Ivy League draft-dodger?”
“If you’re so ‘omniscient’, God, you oughta know that you gotta go
through Karl Rove, John Ashcroft, Rumsey and Dick … those fellas
know what they’re talking about! I can’t listen to just any deity who
can pick up the phone!”
“But, I’m God, George!”
“Does Karl say you are?”
“But why do you believe Karl?”
“Because my gut tells me he’s right!”
“Listen, you ignorant little pinch-eyed Billy Graham convert! Can’t
you get it into your head that I’m God and I’m telling you to stop all
this ‘pre-emptive strike’ nonsense! Stop destroying Iraq! Stop
supporting that monster Sharon! Stop picking a fight with the only
other human beings on the planet that believe in Me! You’re leading
the world into unbelievable chaos and horror!”
“That’s enough, God! That’s just the sort of defeatist crap that I
won’t allow in the White House! Get out of here!”
“I cannot believe I’m hearing this, George.”
“Well you better start believing, God, because this is the new
reality. Don’tcha know that a recent Gallup poll shows that 42% of
Americans identify themselves as ‘born again’? That cuts across
Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, white and black! This is a
real political power base, God, and you’d better believe it!”
“Look, all I’m asking is for you to show a little compassion to your
fellow human beings!”
“I’m not going to debate this with you, God! You’re beginning to sound
like you belong to the reality-based community!”
“What the hell does that mean?”
“Well by the ‘reality-based community’, we mean people who believe
that solutions emerge from their judicious study of discernible
reality.” “Sounds fair enough…”
“But, as one of my advisors told Ron Suskind of the Wall Street
Journal: ‘The reality-based community is not the way the world really
works any more. We’re an empire now and, when we act, we create our
own reality. And while you’re studying that reality – judiciously, as
you will – we’ll act again, creating other new ealities, which you
can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s
actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we
do’.”
“You mean…you don’t give a damn, George?”
“I mean You speak through me, God, not the other way round! Is that
clear?”
“Yes, Mr President.”

As we all know that Malaysia’s Credit card is not accepted by a lot of internet shopping portal and web money transfer service namely PayPal. This is because credit card fraud is rampant in our country. I don’t know whether we should be proud or ashame of this but apparently Malaysia’s credit card fraudsters are the best or to be more precise, “the most creative” in the world. On Sunday, News Strait Time (NST) published an article about a new method that our credit card fraudsters are using now.
According to report, the fraudsters nowadays are not merely professional criminal but also inventors. They are like the high-tech thieves we see in the movies. The fraudsters are now using two new devices to steal credit card number. These two devices are so new and rare that the police have not come out with a name for it. The first device is something akin to digital voice recorder (DVR). The fraudster use it to tap phone lines and another is to transfer the data via SMS,the police call it “”wire-tapping transmitter”.
This is how the devices work:” With the DVR, the fraudsters connect the device to the merchant’s telephone line, which sends data to the bank. So any transaction conducted by the merchant is copied by the DVR, which can run for nine hours. If you only have the DVR, someone will have to come and get the device to download the data to a computer. With the wire-tapping transmitter, no one has to collect the device. As it is SMS-ing the data to a phone, the fraudster could be relaxing on a beach somewhere getting all the data,” This new method can steal in between 100 to 1000 accounts daily, depending on the traffic rate.
Next time if you are thinking of paying with your credit card, please do check whether they have additional devices attached to the machine.

In the article written by Claudia Theophilus entitled “Azan controversy draws mixed reactions” published in Malaysiakini on 12th August 2004, Prof Mahmud Zuhdi Abd Majid of the Islamic Studies Academy warned that religion should be politicized as it “defeats our efforts to create a peaceful multi-racial, multi-religious society in Malaysia”. He said that such matter can only be discussed with an open mind. Unfortunately, the grassroots tend to react defensively, a sentiment which is often manipulated to suit the interests of certain quarters.”
He advised the people (non-Muslims) who were unhappy over the loud azan should approach the state government. The state would refer the matter to the religious department and decide against the use of loudspeakers for anything else other than the azan. Mahmud said that in the 1980s, the Kelantan state government, following complaints from non-Muslim citizens, had ruled that loudspeakers in mosques and suraus should only be used for the azan, especially in dense residential areas. Perak Mufti Harussani Zakaria agreed that loudspeakers should only be
used for the azan and nothing else. “There is no need to use loudspeakers to air the pre-recordings of the tarhim, Quranic recitals or selawat preceding the azan,” he said.
On the other hand, Harussani – a member of the Malaysia Mufti Council defended Shah Alam UMNO’s move to lodge a police report. He said that UMNO was merely upholding its motto to defend, protect and preserve religion, race and country by lodging the report, not to gain publicity.
Parti Keadilan Rakyat vice-president R Sivarasa believes that such issue will not occur if there is an open discussion about this so call sensitive issue. “We should instead talk about how to practice our respective religions without interfering with another person’s quiet time. The fundamental thing is not to use oppressive laws to intimidate
people into silence because this is not the way for Malaysia to grow into a genuine multi-racial society,” he said.
Echoing Sivarasa’s call for open discourse, Sisters in Islam legal
adviser Nora Murat said Muslims should take into account the feelings of others. “We must consider how we as Muslims would react if we were the minority in a country. That is why we must be able to dialogue with non-Muslims. It is good to remember the ethical principles of the Quran which is to engage and accept the differences within the society leading to a peaceful co-existence.” Nora said Muslims should not turn away from talking about these issues and should refrain from using the notion of racial disunity or religious sensitivity as a shield to suppress an opportunity for greater understanding. “Prophet Muhammad himself had great empathy towards believers of other faiths and never forced them to accept the Muslim practice,” she said. “So, how can we now force our respective practice unto others?”
