The Watch, the Clock and the Dawn
Here is a present
Here is a watch
Time for us is inherent
And preciously forged
Here is a gift
Here is a clock
The sand falls swift
And our destinies unlock
Here is a tribute
Here is the dawn
The ever devine attribute
And our stories are borne
What have I got to repay?
When sorrow burns me into a hardened clay
Alas, time has passed and away
Half a century one may say
Leaving no more space to play
And I shall cry everyday
Waiting to be flown away
Here is a present
Here is a gift
Here is a tribute
To men and their lives
Resting in the hour glass
Waiting for the last grains to flush
And may we end in just

Angin
Angin bertiup kuat dan kencang
Di kala hidup bertemunya simpang
Ketat di dada belum lagi lapang
Setelah diasah mencabul senang
Dibelenggu warna-warna rambang
Yang mewujudkan rasa bimbang
Hanya tinggal gelap menanti terang
Oh! Tuhan, aku tidak girang
Aku masih berdiri tidaknya tumbang
Melafaz doa untuk semuanya imbang
Menantikan nikmat dan peluang
Agar berjaya aku di hari aku ditimbang

Kopi
Alangkah enaknya kopi jantan ini?
Walaupun pahit,
Citarasa manisnya membuai gelora riang
Bukan seperti kepahitan kehidupan
Yang sering dilanda pancaroba
Yang merombak dan berombak
Alangkah enaknya kopi hitam ini?
Walaupun gelap,
Ketelusan aromanya tulus tanpa hipokrasi
Bukan seperti kebencian manusia
Yang sering melayan prejudis
Yang merogol dan menyondol
Alangkah enaknya kopi hangat ini?
Walaupun lecur bibir,
Namun dihirupkan jua melawan rintangan pancaindera
Bukan seperti bahang kebodohan bangsa
Yang sering dibakar hasad dan dengki
Yang menfitnah dan memanah
Alangkah enaknya kopi ini?
Selalu menemani aku setiap malam sunyi
Menerbangkan aku ke alam mimpi

Drooling of smelly saliva

Smashing it like oats

Malkovich Trauma
It's four in the morning
I woke up to a weird dream
John Malkovich was in it
All he had to do was,
... scream "Fuck You"
And I was instantly awaken
The aircond was too cold
So, I switched to the fan
Then I was sweating
My eyes were still wide open
The tummy growled
The damn gastric juice triggered
Down the staircase I went
Heading for the refrigerator
Devoured three pieces of Tim Tam
And gulps of low sugar Vitagen
That'll do the trick
I should be able to doze off
But hang on
One Sampoerna cigarette had to be lit
That aroma of cloves
Aimed to be a closure
But, no ....
My eyes were still wide open
Perhaps masturbation would work?
(Commercial Break)
Oh! It did not work!
Damn! I am tired and sleepy
Yet the eyes were still wide open
Suddenly, from outside the window,
.... the mosque projected the Azan
Oh! Time to start the day again
This time, with a media presentation,
.... to the board of some palm oil association
And that is when,
My eyes would fall asleep

Blowing from the far out straits
Bringing with it the death whispers
Shaking the palm trees
Shivering down to its roots
The waves roared in anger
And the rain drops
.... like a thousand missiles
A judgement has been made
Damning humanity to its core
And soon it is discovered
A profound reminder of sort
Speechless and jaw dropping
A realisation that is overdue
Yet still no repentance

Forgotten, Have We?
And we forget
When the sun used to shine
The birds used to chirp
The meadows bloomed all yellow
In that absence
We continue our journeys
Crawling over cold black stones
Showering with chilling acid rain
Swearing at each other
As if we are different animals
Minding our own fortunes
That in itself becomes the opium
Fuelling our damned lives
Never to consider a turn
When the sign board offers the way
For salvation and a chance
And we still forget
The sweetness of that sun, birds and meadows
That we ought to seek
That we should have embraced
That we must not forget

THE ZIONIST LANDMARK IN MALAYSIA
What is shown in this video is actually not a sinagogue. It is a Freemansonry temple or often known as the Grand Lodge. Freemason is a society originated in Scotland for ancient architects who build cathedrals and castles. Later morphed into secret society of gentlements who wanted to influence governments and society, and later became demonic. But this metamorphosis did not happen in Scotland, rather, it was hijacked by Jews as a vehicle to put non-Jews under their control, hence members of Freemasons are non-Jews. Also believed to have been used to extend the cult of decendents of Namrud, the ruler of Babylon who burnt Nabi Ibrahim. The decendents include Cleopatra of Egypt where Freemasonry flourished first. And Cleopatra's DNA flowed into Romans when she married a Roman Caesar, and that Namrud Egyptian bloodline flows all the way to Queen Elizabeth. So, it is no surprise that the late Queen was the Chairman of English Freemasons and she supports the Zionists.
These are the logos of Freemasons:
HOW A CEO SHOULD RESPOND IN AN INTERVIEW
By Johan Ishak
21 May 2024
CEO is a title that carries a lot of weight. It represents the organisation that the CEO is representing as well as the industry that the organisation is operating in. It also represents the alumni from which the CEO graduated from as well as the ethnic group or state from where the CEO hailed. The CEO also represents the more personalised groups such as his or her family, or the family surname itself. In a more general sense, he or she also represents the gender that the CEO belongs to. Therefore, if you appear to be like a bloody idiot, then unfortunately, it reflects badly on those various groups you are associated with in life.
One morning, while driving to work, I listened to the radio station BFM89.9. It was the Breakfast Grill session. I shall not name the CEO who was being grilled out of respect to fellow CEOs out there. However, I will share what went wrong in his replies to the questions asked by the radio DJ. So, readers, please do what is the opposite of what went wrong. Here goes.....
Q1. Why acquire assets and not lease them?
A1. Well, why do you need to lease them when you can buy?
Comments: Whaddahell? The assets in question were not any specialised assets. They were generic equipment that you can lease like computers. In addition, he even said that he still buys even when the leasing supplier provide warranty and replacement with new models when the current ones reach the end of their commercial or technical useful lives. What annoys me is that he answered the question with a question that makes him sound stupid. The Company is listed on the 2nd board of Bursa. So, what he is doing is worsening his Return on Asset (ROA) ratio.
Q2. Why not utilise assets fully?
A2. Because we want to make sure that when there are new clients, we are ready to serve.
Comments: My understanding of his business is that it requires careful planning of capital expenditure to ensure that the expansion of production is done timely in tandem with the demand growth. Simply wasting valuable funds that end up to be idle asset is just stupid. Why bother? Apart from your ROA getting worse, you'll incur unnecessary finance costs, be it debt costs or equity costs. That cash could have been used for working capital purposes. He should have tackled the question from demand-pull perspective. That would have made it intelligent.
Q3. Why do you limit your number of staff?
A3. We try to avoid the formation of unions.
Comments: Oh! My God. Whilst I do agree with his statement, you DO NOT say that in public. I hope his legal counsel tells him that that is a big No No for a listed company to say. Here we are moving towards bloody ESG and shit, this CEO goes the opposite direction.
Q4. How do you ensure that you are able to secure Government subsidy?
A4. We are lucky that we turned into profits because of the huge Government subsidy. For the next coming year, we got some hearsay that we will be getting the subsidy again.
Comments: First of all, the Company is a listed company. They are expected to strive for profits from operation, and not from Government subsidies. What is even worse is that, he uses words such as "Hearsay" of Government approval of subsidies. Furthermore, the word "Hearsay" can also lead to wrong understanding that the Company is confident to get the subsidies as they have paid certain corruption money to certain people in the Government. Not a good perception to be stamped with, I must say.
Q5. Why did you increase your CEO's salary when you are cutting other costs?
A5. I have worked so hard for the past years. Therefore, I deserve that salary.
Comments: Sounds very selfish when he had just explained earlier how he avoided unions and that no salary increment was awarded to his staff. I think he should have said something along the lines of adjustment to reflect the work description for the enhanced profile of the Company. That would have sounded better.
Q6. What is the prospect of your revenue vis-a-vis the recent financial reports?
A6. As you can see, our revenues have declined against last year. That is normal for any business. You get this ups and downs all the time.
Comments: That is not how you answer a revenue question. A CEO must always deflect the negative attack of a decline revenue by highlighting factors that can contribute to the revenue growth in the future. Even if he or she is pushed to a corner for the matter, he or she should associate the decline in revenue to uncontrollable factors (such as exchange rate, Government recent changes in tariffs, etc) as much as possible and not give room for people to form negative opinions on the sales activities that are based on controllable factors.
Q7. How do you plan to achieve a PE ratio of 19?
A7. This is a family run business. We have friends and family who will help to buy our shares when the share price goes down. That will significantly help us to maintain price, relative to the Company's earnings.
Comments: Whaddafak! It is a godamn listed Company. You should never ever make references to activities akin to non-listed companies. He had just fundamentally destroyed the credibility of the business itself in everyone's valuation of the business.
Q8. { No particular question. However, I noticed that he kept on using the word "Honestly" when ever he answers }
Comments: That seems to suggest that prior to the particular interview, he has been answering dishonestly? Or is he indicating that he has a compulsion for lying?
End of "bitchin".

Hilang semua warna-warna,
..... yang dahulunya indah
Nyah ia bersama maut
Aku terus jua melangkah
Di alam yang tiada warna
Di maya serba 'sephia'
Diheretnya berus dan cat
Digaulnya keluarga hijau
Untuk mewarnakan pohon dedaunan
Dicampurnya biru, putih dan kelabu
Untuk mencantikkan langit dan awan
Diadunnya merah dan kuning
Untuk kuntuman mekar dan lebah
Namun,
Sehebat mana pun kebolehan
Masih tidak sempurna gambarannya
Sungguh lengkap dan tertib
Kecantikan duniawi ciptaan Tuhan
Sesungguhnya kudrat ini,
..... kurniaan Dia
Tidak terdaya aku menggagah
Untuk mengembalikan seri
Agar muncul warna-warni dahulu
Hanya sekadar imitasi nikmat

Hutang
Lemah longlainya kaki aku
Kusut serabainya kepala aku
Apabila dihitung hutang,
..... yang selama ini tidak diperlaku
Seribu hari puasanya tak tentu
Dan diabaikan pula rakaat dua ratus ribu
Belum lagi zakat yang beribu-ribu
Sempatkah lagi bila masaku sudah tepu?
Atau harus aku terus redah jalan berliku?
Membayar apa yang patut selagi laku
Oh! Tuhan, tenangkanlah hatiku yang pilu
Kerana aku terasanya sangat malu
Dengan Engkau aku mengaku
Layakkah aku menerima kurniaanMu?

Tau-tau 24 kali bulan berulang

KepadaNya jua dia pulang
Tidak ditinggalkan pun bayang
Tidak pula diberinya peluang
Untuk aku membuat dia riang
Hidup ini terasanya amat kurang
Sehingga air mata titis terlinang
Aku harap dia sentiasa tenang
Dan tidak dibiarkan seorang
Berdoa aku dalam sembahyang
Semoga dia sudi kunjung datang
Di dalam mimpiku sebelum siang
Di kala malam awannya rendang
The Promised Land
Go back, go home
Where you came from
You bloody Penangites!
Go back to your promised land
For you are the people of the island
And your tongue desires the spices
And your feet longed the ocean splashes
Have you not any love and desire to go?
To walk the streets of Gelugor
Or to scream, swear and hate
At the motorist with 'P' plates?
Go home, go wander
You bloody islander
Nothing less than RM300 per square feet
And certainly anything more would be great

Distrust, Loath and Disbelief
Do we trust the person who is looking for an answer?
.... and distrust the person who says he has found the answer?
For the questions with no answers we should desire,
.... and loath the answers that we cannot question
Are we to find faith?
.... and if so, must we first be in disbelief?
Because when we have faith,
.... we are already certainly bias
So, those are the questions we are faced,
.... for trust, desire and faith
Or,
.... for distrust, loath and disbelief

As the Fair Sun Sets Today
As the Fair Sun sets today
It shimmers across His Milky Way
Ending Ramadhan as it bows to Pray
Closing books accepting No More pay
It submits well to sacrifice its Ray
Allowing the Moon to Eclipse in its way
But what does Humanity have to say?
When Rafa is Blackened with forays
And its sky in Penumbra haze
Nevermind the Dead under the gray
For they are Martyrs as when they Lay
Leaving the Universe for God to slay
As the Sun rises on Judgement day

Minta Maaf, Perempuan
Minta Maaf, Perempuan
Bukan gua nak buat generalisasi
Tetapi kalau gua buat observasi
Di jalan raya lu lagak langsi
Lu fikir jalan bapak lu kasi
Nak tukar tayar pancit pun lu geli
Minta Maaf, Perempuan
Bukan gua nak buat cerita
Tetapi kalau gua buat kira-kira
Berapalah sangat lu belanja
Lu sibuk beli beg, baju dan cucuk muka
Nasi, api, air, sekolah anak gua settle semua
Minta Maaf, Perempuan
Bukan gua nak perangai 'sexist'
Tetapi kalau gua fikir habis-habis
Ada sahaja benda lu nak tepis
Lu rasa hak lu dengan gua harus persis
Jangan sampai nanti lu yang mengemis
Minta Maaf, Perempuan
Bukan gua nak tunjuk alim
Tetapi kalau mata gua mengerling
Dikatakan gua otak pusing
Lu juga yang tunjuk paha, punggung dan puting
Habis lu ingat gua tak runsing?

Tutuplah Matamu
Engkau terbeliak
Rakus membaham apa sahaja
Kononnya wanginya ketiak
Hidungmu itu dikencing ganja
Matamu memandang dengan riak
Tidak engkau sedar usiamu senja
Jika betul, dikau harus teriak
Atau tutup sahaja pancaindera
Jangan syaitanmu itu membiak
Seolah-olah ditaburkan baja
Maka itulah lumrah manusia
Nafsunya bertahan waja

Lembah Kehancuran
Turunnya Sang Hujan
Deras yang meneggelami
Lembah ketikanya
Manusia terlupa
Janji-janji yang tertera
Ketika bermulanya alam
Di detik pertama azali
Kembalilah .....
Sujud ikhlasmu
KepadaNya
Zahirkanlah .....
Cahaya imanmu
UntukNya
Kita berdoa
Agar dapat ditebusnya
Dosa,
..... hidup ini
Kita berdoa
Sejuknya alam
Akhirnya

PENDULUM
By Jo Haq
25 March 2024
6:08 am
THE PENDULUM, that was the focus of my dream, at least that was what Tun was interested about, "Say what? Tun, what do you mean?"
Tun looked at me with his fierce pair of eyes and uttered, "Look at the bitch's face will you. See how satisfied she is. It is as if she has discovered the secret of the Universe. That nasty bitch!"
I looked at Margaret who was sitting on a red-white-blue stripped sofa, with a stupid grin on her face like a crazy female Joker. Tun made his way to Margaret walking slowly but steadily in his grey bush jacket. He greeted, "Madam Thatcher, how do you do?"
"Ahhh! Mahathir! How nice of you to come visit me here. I am bored sitting on this red-white stripped sofa."
"If you do not mind me asking, from a distance, I hear the tick tock of a clock radiating from this rediculous sofa of yours. What is that sound?"
"Ahah! That is the sound of my policies. Hear it! What do you hear?"
I took the opportunity to say something while walking towards them after Tun had, "We heard a tick tock of a clock from that beautiful sofa of yours"
"Don't be a hypocrite boy! Tell the bitch the sofa looks ugly", scolded Tun while staring at me, again, with his pair of big fierce eyes, only this time accompanied by a big ridiculous nose.
"Well, I am sure this boy has better EQ than you Mahathir. Let him say the good things about my sofa", says Margaret. "So, boy, what do you think it means, .... my tick tocking sofa?"
"Well, errr... "
"Shut the fuck up will you boy", says Tun while kneeling to see underneath the sofa. I too find myself kneeling to have a look at what was under the sofa, only to be distracted by Margaret's old ugly legs swinging by the edge of the floating sofa with no shadows on the floor, if there was any floor at all. "Look! Look! I see now".
"See what Tun?"
"The arm of the pendulum. It is long, longer than one would expected. When it is long, the sway takes longer time, accumulating stronger momentum, hence producing a slower but more powerful sound of tick tock".
I observed. There was a golden pendulum swaying from left to right, and right to left, making a ticking sound that irritated my ears. "Okay, I see it. But I have no idea what the yardstick would be to conclude that it is longer than what one would imagine"
"You young punks know nothing about the tick tocks of a clock's pendulum. All you do is just play with the Chinese TikTok", grumbled the old Tun.
"Mahathir, my dear friend, my pendulum is made of cast iron and plated with gold. Its density is solid and that gives a wonderful velocity to its tick tock. It is very much like the solid move of a big ship. The bigger the ship, the stronger its inertia. Ain't no one gonna stop the ship, ain't it", responded Margaret, again with her stupid grin.
"Huh!", sighed Tun while standing back up. "I shall build my own pendulum, but for my red-white striped sofa accompanied by blue cusions with yellow moons and stars motives". Tun walked away while saying, "Okay Margaret, we shall meet again to compare the sounds of our sofas. Till we meet again".
I greeted farewell, "Thank you Mrs Thatcher. It was nice to have met you", and walked away.
"My pleasure young man. Go do your own shit with whatever you can find in that pathetic peninsula of yours".
I walked behind Tun towards an open door where another Tun was waiting with a pen and a little 555 note book.
As soon as Tun reached the other Tun, he said, "Daim, hang tengok sat apa besi, emaih, kita ada. I want to build our own super tick tocking pendulum". The other Tun just jotted down some notes and gave Tun a nod. Both Tuns left before I even reached the door.
I told myself, "What the fuck was all that?"
Rimba Bangsaku Kini
Rimba kini rimba batu
Penuh dengan hati beku
Sana-sini mereka kaku
Degil sampai kena duku
Rimba kini rimba hitam
Panas jiwanya berdendam
Asyik berdengki menikam
Ghibtahnya terus diperam
Rimba kini rimba nestapa
Mulutnya hancing berdusta
Fitnah ditabur pelbagai rupa
Seolah-olah lupa neraka
Rimba kini rimba hangus
Maruah bangsa dibungkus
Lagu tangisnya berhingus
Namun sanubarinya dayus

Lampu Trafik 199
Lampu merah sombong
Tidak mahu dia minggir
Sudah 199 minit berlalu
Ia terus jua,
.....menganjingkan kita
Kepala otak kita semak
Berkira-kira waktu
Bertahan pundi kencing
Dan perut kembung angin
Namun,
..... susah hidup puas rasanya
Lebih rela kita bertungkus
Mahu pun onak belukar dirempuh
Dari dipenjara zoo binatang
Kata orang kita harus terus berjuang
Bukan sekadar jam Rolex
Kononnya hadiah bersara
Berkilat berkilau cantik
Namun maknanya jelek
Di ufuk sana matahari malu
Pergi ia jauh dia dari kita
Agar kita berteguk air
Menghembus kretek
Dan bersyukur masih hidup

Sebab Kita Sayang
Kita marah dengan anak
Perangainya malas mencanak
Mahu dicorakkan otak
Sebab kita sayang anak
Kita membebel dengan isteri
Belanjanya boros tak terperi
Mahu dibendung kata hati
Sebab kita sayang isteri
Kita gelojoh wang dan harta
Lumayannya terbeliak biji mata
Mahu dikumpul macam Si Qarun Izha
Sebab kita sayang dunia
Kita mencabut lalang di pusara
Sejak kita bayi sabar mereka membela
Mahu kita tebus apa yang alpa
Sebab kita sayang ibu dan bapa
Kita meroyan fasal Kerajaan
Politikusnya hancing labunan
Mahu dirombak keterampilan
Sebab kita sayang nilai kebangsaan
Kita sujud dan berdoa
Kumitannya nangis tak berirama
Mahu ditaubat dari segala dosa
Sebab kita sayang yang Maha Esa
