Another scam wasting public fund

It was quoted in Malaysikini that The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has once again turned its sights on the Transport Ministry by planning to look into the ministry's RM6 billion Ipoh-Rawang double-tracking project.PAC chairperson Azmi Khalid told reporters at Parliament today and the committee is presently investigating the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project, another controversial undertaking by the ministry.

The double-tracking project was highlighted in the 2008 Auditor-General's report as one that was poorly managed, thus resulting in losses amounting to RM1.4 billion. According to Azmi, the committee was briefed by Auditor-General Ambrin Buang on the annual report yesterday. He added that the transport ministry, under the stewardship of Ong Tee Keat, would be among the first to be called up as the double-track project was "the biggest mismanaged project". "The project has RM1.43 billion of cost overruns and we do not know the reasons behind it. So we want some explanation from the people involved," he said."We will also call the contractors, some of whom who belong to several government-linked companies," he added.He also revealed that the PAC will table its findings on the PKFZ probe in Dewan Rakyat next Wednesday.
So Azmi, what are you going to do about it? This is not the first time the PAC had investigated such mis-management yet no action was taken. All is possible in 1Malaysia, Malaysia Boleh country!

Zahid the UMNO goon

V Sivakumar's role in the 'Pakatan sitting' in the Perak legislative assembly this morning was an act of treason, according to Umno vice-president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Commenting on the commotion created by Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat holding simultaneous ‘sittings', he alleged that Sivakumar had clearly committed treason because he disregarded the command of the Perak sultan.

So Zahid what do you want to tell the sultan, to bar him from Perak, just go ahead. We have no respect for him anyway!
"In my opinion, under Perak laws, the power to dissolve and the power to call for an assembly is under the authority of the sultan of Perak. Hello UMNO crony who asked you for comments, go think how to make money from another submarine ordered from France if you think you can out do the others! You know who I mean.

"I do not think we should tolerate these actions by Sivakumar and his stooges as the legislation should be respected by all parties, whether they are from the opposition or the ruling party," he said.
Know what Zahid, I think the Perakians are coward just like the ruler!
When BN buys over “kataks” one physically challenged and the other two mentally retarded, hence claim that they are legitimate to rule Perak, you must be an idiot to think that we believed what you say! Poorah che!

Malaysian Leaders Comments on tragedy

One pupil drowned and two others are feared missing after a newly-built suspension bridge collapsed into the Kampar River as pupils participating in a 1Malaysia camp were walking across at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kuala Dipang near Kampar last night.
Is this the first incident that has taken lives? This is one of the many that the “rakyat” have to live with for many years and to be precise it’s been 6 years. Well I am not talking about Najib’s 1 Malaysia or his National Service but a program mooted by his guru Mahathir when he was the then prime minister, he was adamant that this programme be carried out to foster "national unity and mutual understanding" among young Malaysians, and all the caution by the general public, civil society and experts against the hasty implementation merely fell on deaf ear. This is nothing new about him, when did he ever listen to the people?Tragically there were 18 young souls who perished in various national service camps since the programme was launched in December 2003.

Let’s hear to some of the so called leader comments about this tragedy!
Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced that a team will be formed by the ministry to probe the accident. He said the team will be headed by the Education Ministry director-general Ali Muddin Md Dom. He further mentioned that "What has occurred should not have happened and we want a full investigation into what happened and those responsible to be held accountable," he said. What else is new with this BN Leaders? Either they sweep everything under the carpet or form team to investigate with no outcome!
The backdoor Menteri Besar Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir visited the scene of the accident last night and ordered an immediate investigation.

"The suspension bridge was newly built. We want to know if it was built to specifications as it collapsed after a metal pillar got ripped off the ground," he said. He wants to inspect now after the incident? What was he doing

If this were to happen in any other country including Bostwania it would have been axed but not in Malaysia, as Malaysia Boleh! To rub salt into the wound, Najib Abdul Razak as defence minister argued the number of deaths during NS was "a small percentage" compared to the 339,186 trainees who had "benefited" from the programme by May 2008.This is the leaders mindset, they want your children to be sacrificed to ensure their programs are successful. Only in Malaysia a leader could get away with such statement!

Lingam's case closed, PM says so!

(NST) - KUALA LUMPUR: Legal action will not be taken against prominent lawyer Datuk V.K. Lingam for lack of evidence and testimony in the findings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Lingam tapes.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak told Parliament the findings of the probe were not substantial enough to initiate legal proceedings. In a written reply to Lim Guan Eng (DAP-Bagan) in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday, he said there were several factors tied to the issue that had thwarted efforts to move ahead with the case. He said no evidence was found to prove abuse of power in judicial appointments as presented in the then Anti-Corruption Agency’s investigation report on the issue.

“Hence, the Attorney-General’s Chambers ruled that there would be no further action (in the matter. Najib said investigations commissioned under the Official Secrets Act 1972 could not identify any wrongdoing by anyone in the handling of documents related to appointments of High Court judges. Investigations into former chief justice Tun Mohd Eusoff Chin’s New Zealand holiday were also hampered as a key witness could not be found, he added. On alleged false claims for a hotel stay by former chief justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim, Najib said there was insufficient evidence to back up the allegation.

It must be true if the PM himself mentioned that there is no case due to lack of evidence.Next time if you get caught on video for whatever act, just say" It looks like me, it sounds like me but it is not me". Mr.Chua Soi Lek....please rethink of your strategy to win back MCA Vice Presidency!

Satu Lagi Projek UMNO/BN

NST;KUALA LUMPUR: Who in their right mind would pay RM42,320 for a laptop?

Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi Mara Balik Pulau in Penang not only paid the price but bought two units of the same brand – Acer Aspire-5052ANWXMI, at a whopping price of RM84,640, said the Auditor-General’s Report.

In addition, the college purchased 450 units of computer CAD with network card at RM3.45mil for 12 labs. Each 19-inch monitor costs RM8,500 while a 17-inch monitor costs RM7,500.“A check with local companies showed that the market price for the latest model is between RM5,350 to RM6,500 each. Worse still the computers, Precision 390 Dell, that were supplied are no longer in the market,” it said.Also purchased were 15 laser printers, Hewlet Packard P3005X, at the price of RM7,722 each when the market price was about RM5,000 per unit.In reply, Mara said the equipment were purchased in a lump sump and there was no price breakdown for the laptops.The price breakdown was only done after the equipment was supplied for the purpose assets record and it could not be used as a basis for reference.

“Nevertheless, Mara has created a task force and is conducting a price adjustment for all the equipment,” it said.The report also stated that the college had paid between RM1,398 and RM2,945 for 204 teaching manuals.

“Checks found that the teaching manuals supplied were bound using comb binding. The teaching manuals obtained at a cost of RM358,476 is a waste because they were never used,” it said, adding that the supplier has been notified to provide the original version of the teaching manual in hard cover.

Mara also spent RM2.08mil buying computer software it didn’t need.Audits also found many discrepancies in prices paid for the same equipment, including the same LCD projectors that costs RM3,500 and RM8,000 for two different laboratories.

“Swivel stools were also purchased at three different prices – RM340, RM350 and RM450 per unit and they did not even meet the agreed specifications in the agreement.“Other swivel chairs were bought for between RM810 to RM1,050 per unit when the college had bought the same chair previously at RM336 per unit,” it said.

The report also stated that the German-Malaysian Institute which was picked as the consultant, had proposed a ceiling price of RM84.5mil for the purchase of equipment for the college while the Economic Planing Unit (EPU) fixed the price at RM127.65mil.

“The reason for the higher price was to speed up the process of obtaining the supplies. In the end the agreed contract was fixed at RM112.42mil. Mara had submitted a letter to the Finance Ministry to say that the figure was reasonable.

“Audit found that the agreed price for the purchase of equipment is not reasonable. This is because the approach taken by Mara did not fufill the criteria set by the Finance Ministry, which is to negotiate for the lowest price possible.

If this is how they manage an educational institution, can you imagine how they are managing other agencies, GLC's and the country?Just to mention a few; PKFZ,Sukhoi Fighters,Submarine,Astronaut or space tourist!There goes my tax money, does anyone know how I can stop contributing to Income Tax?

Why PR was kicked out of Perak!

I read this article in MT and reproducing it to your reading pleasure!

If you can remember, it took one week for the Perak and Selangor state governments to get sworn in after the March 2008 general election. The Sultans of these two states wanted to first ‘discuss the matter’ with the Pakatan Rakyat State Assemblypersons. The Sultans then set certain terms and conditions before agreeing to swear in the new Pakatan Rakyat state governments. This gap of one week allowed the old Barisan Nasional state governments time to remove and destroy quite a lot of very damaging evidence of the wrongdoings of the previous governments.

The one-week delay also allowed Barisan Nasional to negotiate the possibility of PAS teaming up with Umno to form the state governments in Perak and Selangor. Umno even agreed that PAS would become the Menteris Besar of these two states. And, to add icing to the cake, Umno even agreed to allow PAS to implement Islamic laws in these two states.

But PAS stayed loyal to their two other partners in Pakatan Rakyat, PKR and DAP, and they declined Umno’s offer. Finally, the two Sultans had no choice but to swear in the Pakatan Rakyat state governments in Perak and Selangor. But this did not stop them from plotting behind the scenes on how to bring down the governments.The Sultan of Selangor was quite prepared to consider the whole matter a fait accompli. After all, Pakatan Rakyat in Selangor had a clear majority and it would be quite difficult to buy off so many State Assemblypersons. But Perak was another matter altogether. Pakatan Rakyat’s majority in Perak was thinner than in Selangor.

As soon as the new state government had been put in place, the Sultan of Perak began asking for this, that and the other. The Pakatan Rakyat Perak state government would have been quite prepared to tolerate some of the demands of the Perak Palace for the sake of maintaining a good relationship with the Palace. But what the Sultan and his family wanted was just too excessive and the Pakatan Rakyat Perak state government had no choice but to say no to the Sultan’s demands.

And this, of course, upset the Sultan. So, when Pakatan Rakyat lost its majority in the Perak State Assembly, it did not take too much persuading for the Sultan to agree to swear in a new Barisan Nasional state government.At first, the Sultan was not too sure whether he should kick out the Pakatan Rakyat state government in favour of a Barisan Nasional government. When the Pakatan Rakyat Menteri Besar, Nizar Jamaluddin, went before the Sultan to request that the State Assembly be dissolved to make way for fresh state elections, the Sultan said he would think about it first. But immediately after that the Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak, went to meet the Sultan and the Sultan was persuaded to reject the Pakatan Rakyat request to dissolve the State Assembly and instead he swore in Barisan Nasional as the new state government.

Najib’s ‘persuasion’ was simple. Nazrin, his son, should not be the Raja Muda of Perak and this means he should also not be the next Sultan. And in the event that the Sultan dies, as surely he will one day, the federal government will not support Nazrin as the next Sultan of Perak. See what happened to Negeri Sembilan. Although the Yamtuan appointed his son as the regent, this does not mean he becomes the next Yamtuan.

So, Nazrin’s succession to the Perak throne depends on the goodwill of the federal government. But only if the state government is a Barisan Nasional government will there be this goodwill. If Pakatan Rakyat remains the state government, then expect Nazrin to pay the price when his time comes to succeed his father.Furthermore, the Sultan and his family has asked for a lot of things from the Pakatan Rakyat state government, all of which they rejected. Umno will ensure that the Sultan and his family get whatever they want if Barisan Nasional takes over as the Perak state government.

And with that Pakatan Rakyat’s fate was sealed. The Sultan swore in Barisan Nasional as the new Perak state government and Pakatan Rakyat was sent into the opposition aisle.

What was it that the Sultan and his family wanted which Pakatan Rakyat said no to and which Barisan Nasional has now said yes? Yes, let us see how in just a few months the Sultan and his family has suddenly become one of the richest royal families in Malaysia, of course, at the expense of Pakatan Rakyat.

1. Umno gave the Sultan a piece of state land known as lot 183578. The land is approximately 600 acres in size and is at Tanjong Tualang in the district of Kinta. This land has been parked under the name of the Sultan’s proxy, Mohamed Khaair Johari Hj Osman.

2. Umno gave the Sultan a 1,000-acre timber concession along the 11km Gerik-Kupang highway in Ulu Kenderong, Gerik, Hulu Perak. This concession was originally given to Universiti Utara Malaysia. However, it was later revoked and given to Pusat Kreatif Kanak-Kanak whose Chairman is Raja Datuk Seri Ashman Shah Ibni Sultan Azlan Shah.

3. Umno gave the Sultan seven timber concessions at compartments 39, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 49 in the Kenderong Forest Reserve in Hulu Perak. The seven lots, which come to approximately 600 acres, were parked under two proxy companies of the Sultan -- Syarikat Zotonjaya Sdn Bhd and Kibaran Wang Sdn Bhd.

4. Umno is about to approve a proposal for reforestation involving 10,781 hectares. 5,781 hectares is at the Gunung Besout Forest Reserve in Southern Perak while 5,000 hectares is at Pondok Tanjung in the Larut Matang district. The company that will get this huge project is Permatang Utama Sdn Bhd (company registration number 513583-D) whose Executive Chairman is Datuk Seri Ismail Farouk Abdullah, the Sultan’s son-in-law.

5. Further to that, Datuk Seri Ismail Farouk Abdullah was allowed to take over the state-owned Casuarina Hotel in Ipoh for a negotiated cut throat price of only RM43 million whereas it can fetch a far higher price on the open market. The hotel is located in one of the most prime land in Ipoh and just the empty land alone is worth a huge amount of money.

It is not that the Perak Royal Family is destitute. It is more like they are greedy. Raja Datuk Seri Eleena Azlan Shah is a Director of GAMUDA BERHAD and is Malaysia's 25th richest person with assets worth over RM 773 million. This makes her the second richest woman in Malaysia after Puan Sri Chong Chook Yew, who occupies the number 18 slot with more than RM 1 billion in assets.Gamuda Berhad has been awarded more than RM10 billion worth of contracts. It also operates and maintains 230 kilometres of highways plus is a major township and property developer with four township projects involving more than 30,000 houses.

So there you have it. Perakians, in particular the Malays, think that the opposition is not showing the Sultan of Perak the respect he deserves. What they do not know is the Sultan does not deserve any respect. And many are also not aware why the Sultan wanted Pakatan Rakyat kicked out of Perak. Now, we hope, they do.

Malaysian, what are you going to do after knowing this truth?

AG's Report-Nothing New

The STAR wrote today that "The Malaysian Tourism Promotion Board" has not turned in a single ringgit of profit despite making investments of RM41.9mil since its inception in January 1976.The Auditor-General’s Report revealed that the ministry’s subsidiary Pembangunan Pelancongan Nasional Sdn Bhd (Pempena) had not done due diligence before making its investments. Why are we suprised by this report, it is not new in Malaysia where accountability is just a passing statement!

The report also found that seven subsidiary and 17 associated companies under Pempena suffered cumulative losses of RM32.37mil until Dec 31 last year with only one company, the Malaysian Travel Business Sdn Bhd, made a profit of RM438,240 in 2007 after taxes.According to the report, Pempena would record RM40.03mil in overall losses from its investments and initial capital outlay of RM52.86mil for the 24 entities.

The reason cited was that “Pempena has made investments in subsidiary companies that are not viable because it has not done due diligence as a whole before making the investments,” the report said. It added that Pempena’s investments in its seven subsidiary companies and 17 associated companies were not presented and discussed with the board prior to approval.

The board in reply said it would report to the Finance or Tourism Ministry to withdraw the Government’s investments from subsidiaries that failed to declare dividends for three consecutive years. This is another eye washing statement by those resposnible just like the last years report on the

In its response, the board said it would form investment committees on “project basis” if its subsidiaries decided to make new investments.“The audit also found that the board did not have any long-term and short-term strategic plans for the entire organisation,” it said. This is how indeed even the country is managed i.e PKFZ, Sukhoi & Submarines!

Should'nt the entire board be sacked? Just in our wildest dreams will it ever happen in Malaysia. 1 Malaysia; Rakyat diutamakan dan duit di boloskan!(People First and Money Whacked)

BM Jamboree

I could sleep well last night ( 10th October 09) and got up at 4.00am and lied on bed while watching the time go by till 5.00am and got up to get ready, packing the things that I need for my first Jamboree. I guess most of the team members also could not sleep well except for Yazid who was knocked off yesterday after his company event! We met as usual at Dinas and I was the first to be there followed by Yazid, Arthur, Idris, Tee and Suffian. We loaded our bikes onto Idris 4x2 pickup truck and headed towards Mengkuang Dam. Once we reached the road heading towards the Dam, we realized that the traffic was heavy hence Idris had to move inch by inch to reach the Dam.
All of us were excited about this jamboree as this is the very first for the Sungai Ara Bike Pusher Gang (SABP) as this has been a dream for Suffian for a long time and we would like to acknowledge his effort on this! There was an ocean of riders along the road some doing warm up or preparing for the jamboree. We saddled in our bikes and headed towards the starting line, boy there were some few hundred bikers already ahead of us . We were leading the pack from the backline as it was impossible to move to the starting line and as if we need to! We took this opportunity to snap as many photographs as possible at the starting line.
The siren was blown and all hell broke loose with bikers making themselves to be among the lead, we tried to follow the crowd and the early morning view of the dam was breathtaking! Our joy ride was short lived as we came to the foothill and could not cycle further and all of us pushed our bikes. We heard Arthur saying to Tee that he’ll stick to him and to that we all said we’ll bet that won’t last a minute and to our prediction as usual he broke away from the group and disappeared among the other bikers. I was talking to the other riders while pushing the bike going up the hill. It was merely impossible to go any faster as every one of the bikers were pushing their bike till we reach the first peak and the group begin to break on a ride now. It was downhill ride for while and we headed towards the main road which took us towards the second hill and as usual the regular push for while and ride till we come to the third red earth hill. I pushed as usual and by now none of the other team members were insight! I was among other bikers and made it to the top and started to paddle. I was riding till I saw Tee and Yazid pushing their bike s and heard Tee asking for chain cutter, I could not helped but move on and asked everyone on sights if they have a cutter even the Marshalls, none had any and I felt sorry for both of them.
I continued to cycle knowing that the rest of the team members were ahead of me, it was a familiar trail as we have been there last week to try out the trail! Reached the first Pitt Stop and collected the sticker and moved to the second one as well. During the descend going downhill at the rubber plantation as the trail was both steep and rugged with the trees roots protruding out the earth which caused a bottleneck by the slow moving bikers. Suddenly the rider before me stopped and I tried to avoid him but applied more pressure on my brakes which cause the back tires to flipped over which in turn tossed me out of my saddle. I could see the earth moving below me with my head going first, I realized that if I did not do something I may go head on which may turn out to be not a good idea. I turned my body thus allowing the body to hit the earth rather than my head and had some minor bruises on my head, leg and knees but I picked up and continued the journey. Suffian overtook me just before the under pass near the Shell station as he was moving fast, this guys is a power house!
It was challenging ride after the rubber trees as it was a new route for me yet I continued into an unknown territory following the rest of the bikers. The distance between the second pit stop and the third was indeed a long distance as I was wondering when it will ever come in sight. The number of streams that we need to go over was between 4-5 and at each and every one it was filled with soggy dirty mud and it made us difficult to cross over . While I crossed the first stream, I caught my left leg in the water and later my right leg in the mud somewhere else! We even needed to carry our bikes over the steams at times and we formed human chain to help each other to get over the stream and the one with planks was out of this world. Some bikers slipped and fell in the mud stream and I can’t remember how many times I skidded while riding or even while pushing my bike. Met Idris and we both pushed the bike for a while till I lost sight of him later and at another hill at the electric cable tower I met Arthur and we pushed for a while but parted way then. I continued my ride till the third and forth pit stop to collect my sticker. Just after crossing the main road leading into the palm trees we saw few ladies with boxes of 100 plus and mineral water and thought it to be the third pit stop but came to know that she was selling it! Must been a brisk business as she was greeted by many thirsty riders and I came to know from Tee that he ordered three cans just to quench his thirst! Three cans..mmm!
The final stretch was real killer with narrow path overlooking the dam where most of the riders need to push or even carry our bikes. If we miss our footing we’ll be over the steep cliff or even land into the dam which can be detrimental. It was difficult for all the riders as many were pushing downhill till the road leading to the dam came in sight. Finally at last the sight of the finishing line audible as the speaker from the starting line tent was blaring and it was a relive to hear that this painful agonizing ride is finally coming to an end! It was a fantastic feeling coming to the cross line and I was greeted by suffian and Yazid who made it to the finishing line ahead of me. I wondered when did Yazid overtook me? I came in number 391 which was a great surprise for me, yet it was indeed a pleasant surprise. I felt both relief and accomplished to complete my very first Jamboree! We waited for the rest of the team to finish the race as one by one came through and we sat down chatting exchanging our experiences throughout the ride over lunch to which Suffian mentioned that he was not hungry but after taking the first mouthful he claimed to be very hungry now. Must be his taste buds influencing his stomach!
Arthur was the one with a whole lot to tell us of his fortunes or rather misfortunes ; his tire punctured first, later both his tires and also his chain converter dropped off. We were wondering only a man of this courage could continue the ride under such conditions. Bravo Arthur or is it King Arthur! That’s nothing compared to Yazid who rode without any bicycle chain and managed it to the finishing line! We were worried about Tee as we could not see him so I tried calling him but his phone was out of range or coverage and as usual he was helping people along the way and that is the reason why he was late to the finishing line. He and Idris are two good people with good heart in helping people and I am glad that you guys are in our team! Overall it was satisfying ride to all of us as we got the finishing medal to show off! We took many photos to cherish our accomplishment and it was worth all the pain that we went through! Will we do it again, you bet we will!

What an experience-BM Jamboree

Saturday the 3rd is the day the “Bike Pushers Gang” was getting ready to try out the BM Jamboree Trail before the actual competition next week as part of our rigid training preparing to meet the challenges of our first jamboree together. ( talk about shiok sendiri). We planned to meet at Dinas at 6.15am and I got up at 5.00am because I could not sleep peacefully as my dreams were all about riding and the jamboree, so I decided to get up and get ready to head towards Dinas. It was dark and I do not have any bike lights…shame on me for not buying it any sooner. I was there first and no one was at sight, later Idris came and followed by Suri, Suffian and Yazid. Murphy’s Law came true when things go wrong they will definitely go wrong as Sufian's bike hit a double-whammy of flat tires bur our own Major Suri saved the day with his technical prowess by changing the tires not once but twice and Suffian was feeling bit uncomfortable for holding us back. We did not gave him a chance to back up as he has been training secretly practically every day to gear up for the Jamboree!

Idris "bike-mobile", which is not a 4x4 but a 5x5 (5person with 5 bikes) was loaded onto his pickup truck and he even suggested that his truck can carry 6 bikes but the last passenger need to be tied on the truck’s roof top! We met and greeted the Cranky's team at trail start which was a flat hard-packed “ tanah merah’ (red earth) path. Some twenty riders assembled slowly at the meeting point and we quickly made friends and Suffian seems to know quite a number them, which is nothing to be surprised about. I met Ang Poh Hin and several others whom I could not remember names but two less serious riders by the name of Lau and KK warmed up with few jokes on how we are going to manage this ride!

The first 5-10 minutes were pleasant till we reached the foot hill of Bkt Langkap where the painful long and very steep ascend on tarmac started it was a real challenge to most of us but surprisingly Yazid who claims not to have trained since Puasa ( fasting days) were among the lead and I was trailing behind with Lau and KK.

It was really a difficult climb as usual we lived up to our team motto…if you can’t ride..don’t push yourself but instead push the bike. We pushed our bikes and the four of us sticked together; Yazid, KK, Lau and I. After climbing two hills the aerial view of Mengkuang Dam was an awesome and we took some photos as it is a must in our every ride. The path led to a rocky and loose rock trail then followed by uphill soft red earth (tanah-merah). Our tires collected the mud along the way and the bike weigh as if it added 10kg going thru the uphill till we reached the palm trees. Suri, Idris Suffian and few more rides were awaiting the fabulous four to join them and it followed with photo session as we wanted to look good and to show to our spouses as a symbol of achievement.

The ride through the palm estate was great followed by the rubber estate was equally bumpy and rough as the tree roots were protruding above the earth that gave us some excitement going downhill. We found another downhill hero in KK as he was going very fast till we lost sight of him many times.

Finally we reached the underpass and made a pit-stop at the BKE Shell station wanting to know which way to head back. We heard that one cranky member met in a little accident and Sufian helped him to BKE Shell gas station. While resting a while the other team members came and said that we could not pursue through the rubber tree trail as there are no indicators on how to head back to the Kampung. We decided to head back using an alternative road and but came to a dead end after a while! We became creative in managing ourselves out of it by sneaking and crawling under the fence to come to the main road. It was total teamwork that all our bikes were safely carried under the fence and we rode on the expressway. Within minutes all of them disappeared including Yazid as I was slowly enjoying the ride hence I need to catch up L ater I heard that Suri broke the 40km speed as he tried Pak Shah's technique. What was the technique only a few of us know that include Idris, Suffian, Yazid and I! It was wonderful experience which shall be in memories for a while and we are looking forward to next week for the real challenge!
