REALITY does not exist. Or does it?
What exists are illusions which appear as reality.
Is protein, for example, reality or a fleeting glimpse of something in transition? It's actually carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulphur and phosphorous coming together.
All elements are actually from hydrogen.
Move before hydrogen and then you have plasma etc.

Curse of No.13 to usher the end of Sabah BN?
By Jason Matius
KOTA KINABALU: There is now serious talk spreading among the Sabah opposition parties concerning the effect of numbers in the political fortunes of political parties in Sabah . And to the opposition parties’delight, the numbers appear to point to the death knell of the Barisan Nasional in the next general election.
A series of texts messages and excited conversations concerning the number thirteen, which prophesying BN’s supposed impending fall, have been making their rounds among mainly opposition supporters here. These messages remind Sabahans of the fact that USNO, Sabah ’s first government, was defeated by Berjaya in 1976 (7 + 6 = 13), Berjaya was defeated by PBS in 1985 (8 + 5= 13), and PBS was toppled from power by BN in 1994 (9 + 4 = 13). Also interesting is that each of these three governments ruled for exactly nine years!

Malaya Federation masquarading as Malaysia Federation ?
Malaysia has an unwritten Constitution based on the Batu Sumpah and other constitutional documents like the written Constitution of Malaya, Malaysia Agreement, the Malaysia Bill, the Inter Governmental Committee Report, the Cobbold Commission Report, the 20/18 Points, Adat, the UN's Informal Survey on Malaysia, the Sabah and Sarawak Constitutions, the Dent/Overbeck Agreements with the Sultans of Brunei and Sulu, the Madrid Protocol of 1885, the Singapore/Malaya Merger through Malaysia proposal, the various British Committees which studied the formation of Malaysia etc etc long before Tunku Abdul Rahman announced it in May 1961 at a meeting with the Foreign Correspondents Association in Singapore.
Asking RM 1,500 is a decent human rights demand - S.Arutchelvan
I refer to the article Pakatan rejects RM1,500 wage proposal in FMT today and would like to reiterate that asking a wage of RM 1,500 a month is not outrageous nor it is without basis. Asking RM 1,500 for every worker is a decent wage proposal and decent wages are part and parcel of Human rights. Outrageous or being impractical would be to ask the pay of Maybank CEO which is RM 90,000 a month or Syabas CEO who earns RM 450,000 a month.
Today we do not question the massive income inequality and discrimination when it comes to the rich and powerful. The highest 20% of Malaysian earn 51% of the total income whereby the bottom 40% earn merely 14%. The poorest 10 percent only control 1.7% of the total income. Today we question why must be the lowest 20% should be paid RM 1,500 and give that as the reason why the economy is going to collapse.

Umno needs Sabah, S’wak to hold premiership

| PKR-led Pakatan Rakyat is greedier than Umno, claims a Sabah opposition party leader frustrated with Umno and Pakatan 'hegemony' |
By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: UK-based NGO, Borneo’s Plight in Malaysia (BoPiMaFo) believes the only reason Malaya based parties are desperate to retain Sabah and ‘invade’ Sarawak is so that they can continue to decide which Umno leader would become the Prime Minister.
Daniel Jambun, who leads BoPiMaFo, said: “Umno wanted to go to Sarawak but its dream was shattered not because of Sarawak BN parties’ refusal but because of the people.
“If Umno spreads its wings to Sarawak, it would empower Sabah and Sarawak to decide who would be Umno president and eventually Prime Minister as both combined number of delegates from East Malaysia would have been the biggest to Umno’s annual assembly.
The cause and effect principle in the 'Allah' debate
In the last few days or weeks, we have seen a torrential debate
around the word ‘Allah’ in the public domain. It’s still going on.
The issue is not new for it has been debated for nearly a decade, though of late, it has gained fresh momentum and intensity. Briefly stated, the Malay-Muslim community leaders have somehow developed the perception that ‘Allah’ is a holy word in Islam and is thereby to be used exclusively only by Muslims.
