MEDICO-PROGNOSIS OF 1MDB


The current state of 1MDB affairs is likened to be full of bugis shit worms wriggling out for the public to stomach.



Medico treatments

TURP-cum-castration

Shove it into the arsehole (conventional).


Arab style

Rear-end bashing:
 Bastinado (spanking of the buttocks)

Forced circumcision, barbaric style


The traitor deserves life imprisonment if not death sentence. The 2.6 billion in his account to be forfeited.

TRIBAL NOSE FIX


Tribal people who live in remote jungles are warlike and may even practice cannabalism or human sacrifice. Not too long ago tribal wars were common and survival means that one has to be always on the alert to ward off enemies. In fact, the fiercest tribe survives better than the others. 

Thus, members of different tribes try to look as brave and fierce as they could by making use of various parts of animals (eg. bones, teeth, claws, feathers, skin, tusks, shells) , plants (eg. stem, bark, dye, poison),  various stones and metals for adornment, weaponry, talisman. Perhaps they want to resemble a human with animal-like instincts.

It seems there is a commonality amongst men of tribal people of different lands to practice nose-pricking.

GRAVESTONES OF THE ARCHIPELAGO


The history of the Malay empires (Majapahit, Srivijaya, Melaka, Rhiau ...) in the Archipelago are fairly well documented but not all of them. What remains are some markings of those empire builders as gravestones and other artefacts of historical value that help link events, tribulations, progression and finally demise.

SUNDAY NOSTALGIA - THE BEATLES


One of my early postings quite long ago was on John Lennon. I found (1993?) the inside of the hard cover page of an old register book for tourists visiting Cameron Highlands signed by John Lennon, 5 Liverpool. 

For a while I thought that John Lennon was really in Cameron Highlands but it could not be true. Most likely, a visitor had done it for fun. (I was posted to Cameron Highlands twice, 1973 and 1990-1996).

REMEDIES FOR THE SICK - POLYNESIA


Islanders in the South Pacific (Oceania), geographically isolated from land masses must depend on traditional knowledge inherited through generations, natural resources, and ingenuity for survival, livelihood and health.

Sea food and coconut (known as Tree of Life) are abundant around/on the islands. Their main worry is to cure sicknesses if not attended early enough can be debilitating and bring death.

Fortunately, there are  found much diversity of medicinal plants on the islands for use to cure illnesses. It is interesting to note that 17% of the medicinal plants of Polynesia are used in Western medicine.

11,000 YEARS AGO - THE PERAK MAN


The first human wave of migration to the East is postulated to begin 150,000 years ago from Africa through the Red Sea (80,000 years ago), Yemen, Indian subcontinent, the Malay Peninsula (61,000-70,000 years ago), Australia and spread elsewhere.



Identity of the Perak Man, 10,000-11,000 years ago (Lenggong Museum, Perak).



Apparently, the remains of the Perak Man show deformities of skeletal structure.




Recorded history of later migration from Yunnan that reached the Malay Peninsula c. 4000 years ago.

MALAY TRAITOR IN THE MIDDLE KINGDOM



The arsehole you know who, is a traitor to the motherland.



The Union Jack down, in comes the Middle Kingdom via 1MDB's fiasco.
