Your Opinion Does Not Matter
With the signboard down, efforts are being taken to bring new funds pumped in by new investors (read: suckers) to another country where ideas originated.
For you guys who have wrong-coloured skin, read the company’s actual policy:
We don’t necessarily discriminate. We simply exclude certain types of people.
Well, well, well. War of the Running Dogs. Nothing to do with the Malayan Emergency of the 1950s, but it would put some people in emergency mode.
Down comes the signboard…and soon, the equipment and people as well.
As for the Running Dogs? They’ll be running away, believe me.
Yes…counting the days now.
This was taken in Tioman. I thought post April 21st 2006 I wouldn’t see this anymore…
The world’s full of it, I guess.
The outcry against the destruction of the reef between the old pier and Barracuda Point at Sipadan by a barge laden with sand, gravel, construction equipment has continued to grownin momentum, with members of the Malaysia Diving Community forum calling for a boycott of Borneo Divers over a self-centered statement made by one of its directors.
The question remains as NOT TO WHY was the barge there, but why was construction of facilities been mooted for the paradise island after the painstaking step of chasing away resort operators off the island a few years back? The Sabah state government has a lot of explaining to do.
As for Clement Lee of Borneo Divers’ statement that “only a small percentage of the reef was destroyed and that the reef will be back to normal” for divers to visit, I hope he will commence his reefcheck duty now. In 200 years time, I’ll come and visit him and the rejuvenated reef.
The wanker. Borneo Divers should kick Clement Lee out and employ Clemency instead.

Some idiot allowed the barge above to moor at Sipadan. Somehow, a storm came and this barge had caused lots of damage to the surrounding reefs between the pier and Barracuda Point.
I’ve already lodged a complaint with Sabah Tourism, and another with several committee members of the Marine Branch of the Malaysian Nature Society. Why the MNS? Well, they were so negative in reporting about artificial reefs that were deployed in Tioman, and at times were giving stupid reasons (artificial reefs shoulodn’t be deployed as it causes marine life to seek refuge in them and disturnb their natural behaviour – said an MNS committee member).
For those who want to complain, send your complaints to the following:
Sabah Tourism or e-mail info@sabahtourism.com
MNS Marine Group Coordinator (TC Lim) – mnsredang@yahoo.com
MNS Reef Check Coordinator (Saras Suresh Kumar) – robo88_88@yahoo.com
MNS Secretary (Serina Rahman) – serina74@whale-mail.com
So I want to see what response Sabah Tourism would give me, and what is MNS going to do about this. I hope they put their money where their mouth is.
I am so…..bored! Need to get back into the water.
I had my haircut today (or rather cutting what’s left of it). The radio at the barber’s blared this very familiar but long unheard of song: Anjali, Anjali, sung by Illayaraja.
I first saw this film on TV on Deepavali day of 1995. At that time I was with my investigation team at the Penang Station Staff Headquarters at Batu Ferringhi in the midst of an criminal investigation for the Air Force.
The film is about a dying autistic child, Anjali. She was born into a family that has two elder siblings. When the hospital alerted the father about her condition, so the father colluded with the hospital staff to inform his wife that she had stillbirth. The father however continued to care for this child secretly.
Eventually the truth leaked out, the child is brought back to the household. The film explores why the husband did what he did, how the family, including the two other children come to accept the child into their lives, how she is cared for, and whether they finally are ready to let her go.
This film is a true tearjerker, and tests your feelings if you are a parent.
Watch it if you are a parent.
Sitting some 17 meters beneath the surface of the sea between Perhentian Kecil and Kuala Besut on the mainland is the wreck of the MV Unistar, also known to divers as Sugar Wreck, or to the locals, Kapal Gula. It sank in heavy seas back in 2001.
I took this on our last dive of the trip, two days ago.
