MALAYSIA IS EXPENSIVE

Strongest purchasing power on arrival.

"Here's the price of a basket of goods inc beers, water & meals, which costs £72.14 in the UK (Brighton), compiled by the -UK- Post Office at today's -24 March 2010- exchange rates (it can vary by city too - this was priced at tourist resorts):


Hungary (£37.40)
Bulgaria (£39.52)
Thailand (£42.31)
Spain (£45.26)
Bali (£52.51)
Kenya (£52.60)

Malaysia (£57.71)
Croatia (£63.46)
Greece (£64.02)
Egypt (£65.45)
USA (£75.70)
Turkey (£76.08)"

So Malaysia is not so cheap even for holidaying British adult tourists.

However, even if they only earn the UK national minimum wage of £5.80 (RM 28.80) per hour, they are far better off than the vast majority of Malaysians.

For the locals it is so damned expensive in Malaysia because the wages are so low!!!

SOME EXAMPLES OF SHAMEFUL BEHAVOUR BY THE SEEMINGLY RELIGIOUS!






ISLAM

SAUDI ARABIA

Amnesty International is calling on Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah to stop the execution of a Lebanese man sentenced to death for "sorcery."

According to Arab News, an English language Saudi daily newspaper, after the most recent verdict was issued, the judges in Medina issued a statement expressing that Sibat deserved to be executed for having continually practiced black magic on his show, adding that this sentence would deter others from practicing sorcery. Arab News reports that the case will now return to the appeals court in Mecca.

Guests at the Penarik Inn here were flabbergasted by the actions of a group of men said to be from the state Religious Affairs Department (JHEAT) who conducted a raid yesterday morning.

Guests claimed they were rudely awakened at 2.25am by loud, incessant banging on their chalet doors…….

He said during the raid yesterday, a couple was taken away by the group and were only sent back at 6am after they proved that they were legally married.

"It was a harrowing experience for them. They checked out immediately and I don't know if they will ever stay at my chalet again."

ISLAM & CHRISTIANITY

NIGERIA

The central city of Jos is on high alert after Sunday's Nigeria violence in which a late-night attack by herdsmen killed up to 500 people from nearby farming villages. The attack has been seen as a reprisal for attacks in January, in which about 300 herdsmen were killed by youth from the farming community.

Jos is also right on the de facto fault line separating the Nigeria's mainly Muslim north from its mainly Christian south. The farming community in Jos are primarily Christians of the Berom ethnic group, while the herders are ethnic Fulanis who practice Islam.

CHRISTIANITY (Roman Catholic)

WORLWIDE

Example:

A report commissioned by the Church the following year said more than 4,000 US Roman Catholic priests had faced sexual abuse allegations in the last 50 years, in cases involving more than 10,000 children - mostly boys.

Religious hypocrites and ‘holier than thou' attitudes are combining with lack of education, and fear, through ignorance, of the various religious leaders.

Abuse of power and trust, the mixing of politics and religion are some of the root causes of such events as those illustrated above.

Freedom of religion should be upheld everywhere, it is after all a basic human right.

We all should have respect for all religions and their followers. At the same time should strongly condemn all types of shameful behaviour carried out in the name of religion.

Religious belief, or not believing in religion, being an atheist, an agnostic, a freethinker, or whatever a person believes in or does not believe in, is a personal and private matter.

St. Patrick's Day Greetings to Everyone, Sláinte


1st Irish Pub Joke

An Irish man shows up in a pub one day and orders three pints of Guinness. He takes sips from each glass until they are empty and calls the bartender for three more. The bartender says, 'Sure it's up to yourself, but wouldn't you rather I was bringing them one at a time? Then they'll be fresh and cold.'

'Nah...' your man says, ' I'm preferrin' that ye bring 'em three at a time. You see, me and me two brothers would meet at a pub and drink and have good times. Now one is in Australia, the other in Canada and I'm here. We agreed before we split up that we'd drink to each other's honour this way.'

'Well,' says the bartender, 'that's a grand thing to do, all right. I'll bring the pints as you ask.'

Well, time goes on and your man's peculiar habit is known and accepted by all the pub regulars. One day though, he comes in and orders only two pints. A hush falls over the pub. Naturally, everyone figures something happened to one of the brothers. A group of the regulars corner the bartender and finally persuade him to find out what happened. With a heavy heart, the bartender brings the two pints and says, 'Here's your pints... and let me offer my sincerest condolences. What happened?'

The Irish man looks extremely puzzled for a moment, and then starts laughing.

'Oh, no, no, no! 'Tis nothing like that. You see, I've given up drinking for Lent...'


2nd Irish Pub Joke

An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman go into a pub. Each orders a pint of Guinness. Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and land-- one, two, three-- in each of the pints.

The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away and demands another... the Scotsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow.

The Irishman reaches in to the glass, grabs the fly between his fingers and shakes him as hard as he can, shouting 'Spit it out, ya bloody bastard! Spit it out!'


3rd Irish Pub Joke

An Irish man has been at a pub all night drinking. The bartender finally says that the bar is closed. So your man stands up to leave and falls flat on his face. He figures he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up.

Once outside he stands up but again falls flat on his face. He crawls home. Reaching the door he tries to stand up, and yet again, falls flat on his face. He crawls through the door and up the stairs. When he reaches his bed he summons the last of his strength and tries one final time to stand.

It's no use. He tumbles into bed and is soon sound asleep, only to awaken the next morning to the sound of his wife standing over him shouting.

'So... you've been out drinking again!'

'How did you know?' he asks, his head hung in shame.

'The pub called-- you left your damn wheelchair down there again!'



A Irish toast to everyone:

My friends are the best friends
Loyal, willing and able.
Now let’s get to drinking!
All glasses off the table!

Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold pint-- and another one!

Sláinte!


Nemo risum praebuit, qui ex se coepit

THE ARMS RACE IN S E ASIA


e.g. Scorpine Submarines

“15 Mar 2010

New SIPRI data on international arms transfers reflect arms race concerns

For immediate release (Stockholm) by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute [SIPRI]

Concerns about brewing ‘arms races’ in a number of regions of tension around the world are reflected in new data on international arms transfers published today by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). The comprehensive annual update of the SIPRI Arms Transfers Database is accessible from today at www.sipri.org.

Combat aircraft accounted for 27 per cent of the volume of international arms transfers during 2005–2009. Orders and deliveries of these potentially destabilizing weapon systems have led to arms race concerns in the following regions of tension: the Middle East, North Africa, South America, South Asia and South East Asia.

‘SIPRI data show that resource-rich states have purchased a considerable quantity of expensive combat aircraft’, states Dr Paul Holtom, Director of the SIPRI Arms Transfers Programme. ‘Neighbouring rivals have reacted to these acquisitions with orders of their own. One can question whether this is an appropriate allocation of resources in regions with high levels of poverty.’”

Extract……………………

“South East Asia

Transfers to South East Asia have increased dramatically between the periods 2000–2004 and 2005–2009. Indonesian, Singaporean and Malaysian arms imports have increased by 84 per cent, 146 per cent and 722 per cent respectively. Singapore is the first ASEAN member to be included in the SIPRI Top 10 arms importers since the end of the Vietnam War.

Acquisitions of long-range combat aircraft and warships by these states have influenced the procurement plans of neighbouring states. SIPRI Asia expert Siemon Wezeman notes that ‘In 2009, Viet Nam became the latest South East Asian state to order long-range combat aircraft and submarines. The current wave of South East Asian acquisitions could destabilize the region, jeopardizing decades of peace.’”

Note: Emphasis was added by me,

WOW!!!!

WHAT A LOT OF MONEY HAS BEEN THROWN DOWN THE DRAIN, PISSED AGAINST THE WALL, WASTED SQUANDERED ON USED ON IMPORTED ARMS IN MALAYSIA, A DRAMATIC INCREASE OF 722% between the periods 2000–2004 and 2005–2009.


UNFORTUNATELY, SO MANY FOLKS IN MALAYSIA ARE REALLY POOR AND PRICES, COMPAIRED TO AVERAGE INCOMES, ARE VERY VERY HIGH.

HOW WASTEFUL, HOW DISGUSTING , HOW SHAMEFUL AND HOW DISTRESSING!
