From Sinchewyitpow...
Our competitive advantage under review...
is now all but gone.






 夢醒時分 The moment when dream is awakend...



 I wonder you feel the same as me, all the sudden I realized friends and
 relatives around me seems to get less and less.

 以往接近過年時,各種聚餐排得滿滿的,而今年,似乎沒聲沒息。

 Those years when the New Year drew near, all sorts of gathering
 appointments almost completely filled the diaries, but this year seems so
 quiet.

 即使是平常日子,電話少了,與大家見面也少了。

 Even in nromal time, phone calls become less and less, face to face meet
 up also become much less.

 也許,大家各忙各的;或者,目前流行“宅生活”,儘量避免出門。

 Perhaps, everybody is busy with their own things, or perhaps, nowadays
 people prefer to stay in.

 也不盡然如此。再想一想,很多老友和親戚,已經不在了。嗟!大吉利是,他們都
 還好好的,只是離開了馬來西亞。

 However, it is not entirely like this, thinking further, actually old
 friends and relatives are not around any more. God bless, they are still
 alive and well, they just left the country, Malaysia.

 去了中國大陸開工廠;王子不做工程師,移民到澳洲開小食檔;阿風離開本地大
 學,去香港做講師;青蛙去了台灣,開展事業第二春;還有的到了美國、英
 國,唔,還有去印尼的……。

 They have gone to China to set factory; ah Wang quit his engineer job and
 migrated to Australia to set up his little food store business, ah Fong
 left the local University went to Hong Kong as a lecturer. 'Frog' went to
 Taiwan to pursue his second career life. Others went to
 Americia, England, even Indonesia...

 起初,以為這只是個別現象,逐漸的,旁人也有同樣發現;原來,這不是個別現
 象,而是社會現象;這不是少數,而是相當大的數目。

 At first, I thought these are individual cases, but gradually, people
 around me realized the same, these are not individual cases but a general
 symptoms of oursociety. they are not small numbers but the pretty big
 indeed.

 外交部早前披露了一個數字,說明這個現象是多麼真實,多麼貼近。

 Department of Foreign Affairs released the figures earlier, it confirmed
 the situation is real.

 從去年3月到今年9月,已經有30萬大馬人移民他國;其中20萬人是今年1月到8月出
 走的數目。

 From March 2008 thru September 2009, a total of 300,000
 Malaysian migrated to other countries, among them 200,000 left between
 Jan - Aug 2009. (in 8 months)

 累積下來,已經有超過200萬大馬人移民,接近今天印尼外勞在大馬的人口。

 Cummulatively, there are 2 million Malaysian migrated, this figure is
 close to the number of Indonesian workers in Malaysia today.

 不同的是,移居他國的大馬人,多是專業人士、中產階級。

 The difference are, those migrated are mostly professional and middle
 class people.

 他們有很多出走的理由,追求事業發展,為了孩子前途,尋找個人更大空間……,概
 括一句:對馬來西亞失望。

 They have many reasons to leave: pursue career development, for the
 future of their children, in search of better life and environment... In
 one sentence, they lost hope of Malaysia.

 50年前,大家說,馬來西亞真好,好過香港,甚至日本。

 50 years ago people said: Malaysia is very good, better than Hong Kong
 and even Japan.

 30年前,大家說,馬來西亞還不錯,比得上韓國、台灣(不提香港和日本了)。

 30 years ago people said: Malaysia is not bad, comparable to S. Korea and
 Taiwan. (No mention of Hong Kong and Japan any more).

 20年前,大家說,馬來西亞還可以,至少超越中國、泰國(不能和台、韓比了)。

 20 years ago people said: Malaysia can do la, at least better than China
 and Thailand (Cannot compare with Taiwan and Korea lah)

 10年前,大家說,馬來西亞再差,還不至於像越南、印尼(中國已是不同級別)。

 10 years ago poeple said: No matter how bad Malaysia is, cannot be worse
 than Vietnam and Indonesia ko-ah. (China is already in a different
 category).

 今日,越南和印尼的經濟成長率遙遙領先大馬,社會活力和知識發展也勝過一
 籌;距離愈來愈近了。

 Today, the economic growth rate of Vietnam and Indonesia already far
 exceeded Malaysia, Social activity and intellectual development of the
 country is also better, the gap between us and them is closing up.


 怕甚麼,還有菲律賓和柬埔寨、緬甸。

 Why worry? there are still Philipines, Cambodia and Myanmar behind us.

 但是,一位經濟學家最近到菲律賓考察之後,認為再過20年,大馬可以取代菲律
 賓,出口馬籍女傭到全世界了。

 However, according to an economist who recently surveyed Phillipines, he
 think in 20 years' time, Malaysia can replace Phillipines to become the
 World exporter of Malaysian maids.


 半個世紀以來,馬來西亞是在大宅院裡,用封建方式,分配祖宗家業,消耗社會資
 源,浪費和逼走人才;不談競爭力,忽略生產力,討厭績效制。

 Over half the century, Malaysians live in the big old imperial housing
 complex, closed up and survive on properties left behind by the ancestor;
 continue to consume up social resources, wasteful, and drive away
 talents; they never talk about competitiveness, totally neglect
 productivity, and hate meritocracy.

 亞洲金融風暴來襲時,大馬把門關起來,以為避過一劫,有人還自我陶醉,自以為
 是天才策略。

 When Asia economic storm hit in 1997, Malaysia closed their doors,
 thinking we beautifully avoided a disaster, there even think of
 themselves as genius, being able to handle the situation so well.

 然而,其它國家面對風暴,走出風暴,進行體質改革,跨步向前,登上另一個水
 平;大馬卻還在原地踏步。

 However, just look at other countries in our neighbourhood, they stand
 up, face the storm, and walk out of the storm. They overhaul the
 system, improve the processes and march forward, they moved up to a new
 level. And Malaysia, still walking on the spot.

 馬來西亞,該醒一醒了。

 Dear Malaysia, it's time to wake up! We are very very late now!

"The Uncomfortable Definition of an Infidel" By John Harrison MBE. MIDSc

0 comments
Allah or Jesus Christ?  Islam is the fastest  growing religion in the UK .

Last   month I attended my annual training session for  maintaining my security clearance in the prison service.  There was a presentation by three speakers from the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say about the basics of Islam, complete with video.

After the presentations, question time.  I directed my question to the Imam and asked:  'Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a Holy War against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven.  If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'

There was no disagreement with my statement and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!'

I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight.  All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not a follower of Allah, so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'

The expression on his face changed from one of authority to that of  'a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the biscuit tin.'

He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'

I then stated, 'Well, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope Benedict commanding all Catholics to kill Muslims, or the Archbishop of Canterbury ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

The Imam was speechless!

I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because He will take me to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam remained speechless.

Needless to say, the organizers of the Diversification'  seminar were not happy with this way of  exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.

Within twenty years, i.e.. 2029, there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.K. To elect a government of their choice, complete with Sharia law.

Everyone in the U.K. Should be required to read this, but with the current political paralysis, tolerant justice system, liberal media and p.c. Madness, there is no way this will be widely publicised.

Is Religion Humanity Friendly?

Speak to the Nations, First that comes to mind was humanity. It has something Unique and Catchy that draws FreedomExpressions© to some enlightenment interest. Event Lasted 3 days started 3 days before today's blog post date. Nevertheless, this conference shares unique blends of people.

Isn't It Good enough, to just end just right there as People?

I personally believe as a Christian by fate, balanced by equations of humanism, and being a "realist dreamer" that "Yes" because when "The Conference" remarked participants as sub ethnic/country, It is autonomous giving further unseen categorization such as Color/Race/Country to the purpose of Speaking to the Nations. God do not categorize People.

If Participants from all nations were to form groups of "All Mixed Up" To Share and Speak , Where Youth Share Their Minds with Another, This would promote Humanism and Harmony in the context of Faith That The Conference Took Pride for...Christianity. Nevertheless, the event was beautiful, sights of different unique people from every parts of the world, flocking the gospel main hall of the venue. Efforts spilled in by organizers of the Christian Youth Community were highly spirited and only made sure things were running smoothly during the conference.

FreedomExpressions© was extremely enthusiast as of this is our golden opportunity to listen to what "Speak to the Nations" is all about besides the Fact that this is A Christian Conference of Asia Pacific. Fact 1, we were placed in country contingent like some Olympics delegates. Fact 2, they were no voices or story being told by any of the people of nations attended. Only A whole loads of worshiping and great music.


Words of holiness filled the atmosphere at the venue blessed by its official life span of Conference, verses and choruses were sang passionately to praise God and to Honor God. Music was rocking, some was mellow, some was mood swings, and all in all it was simply awesome. Great Speakers were uplifting the morale of the People at The Conference. The Least would send some negative impact to the attendees of the event.

·         Speaker A, Sends the most prolific talk about God with mutual balance to the environment and the facts that we are living in today’s world.

·         Speaker B, Sends the most unique and dramatic expressions through bad pub British jokes, and smart intellectual jokes and points.

·         Speaker C, Speaks about brain when she admits that she had never finished off anything in her life.

·         Speaker D, Allows emotions to overpower thoughts and speech.

·         Speaker E - Gave pretty deliberative fresh expressions.

·         Speaker F - Gave innovative expressions through people activity while communicating.

·         Speaker G - Allows emotions to overpower Facts.

Contradictions of pastor’s , directions of directory made inspirational talks became deliberatively meaningless with hypo criticism expressions shown by certain individual of speakers.

“When One Spoke about a New System, Another Spoke about Ignoring Denominations Differences. Then Another spoke about to be more than a Conqueror. “

Somehow One Spoke About The Human Brain - bringing Science VS Religion Insurance into that session. Contradictions of the brain theory being expressed were awfully spoken onto the ears of the world that day. Another Encouraged People to be Brave Hearts to start making changes for the nations and only to tell the people that He doesn't know how? Another Created Rain within the venue which was an remarkable experience.

FreedomExpressions© looks into Christianity.

"The word pastor usually refers to an ordained person within a Christian church. It comes from the Latin word pastorem, which means to shepherd. In some countries the term is used in relation to Protestant churches. It can also used in reference to priests and bishops within the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox churches. The word itself is derived from the Latin word pastor which means shepherd. The term pastor is also related to the role of elder within the New Testament, but is not synonymous with the biblical understanding of minister.

Present day usage of the word is rooted in the Bible. The Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) uses the Hebrew word רעה (raʿah). It is mentioned 173 times and describes the feeding of sheep, as in Genesis 29:7, or the spiritual feeding of human beings, as in Jeremiah 3:15, "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding" (KJV)."From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 "In Protestant churches, "minister" generally refers to a member of the ordained clergy who leads a congregation as its pastor. A minister may also participate in a leadership role in aparachurch or allied ministry such as a street ministry, reaching out to those in the community who do not attend or regularly participate in church services or activities. Such a person may also be referred to as a Preacher, Chaplain or Elder (although in some cases, an elder may be a layperson, not fully-ordained as a minister). A minister may also be designated a Bishop, but this is usually a hierarchical designation, for management or coordination of the church organization.
Professional ministers in many religious affiliations are seen as set apart from the community to which they minister through ordination. They may be provided a stipend, a wage or a salary.

All denominations make some claim to finding their model of leadership (or church governance) in the New Testament. However the variety of relationships is large, ranging from the view of a minister as one of the people, to that of the minister as a priest or church leader, set apart with special qualifications or authority. Ecclesiology is the area of theology that relates to church structures and ministry."From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Professional ministers in many religious affiliations are seen as set apart from the community to which they minister through ordination. They may be provided a stipend, a wage or a salary." FreedomExpressions© Says Lord Jesus Didn't Get Paid for Spreading his Love but only pain misery sadness and all the world most adverse emotions was placed and tested upon Him. So What Makes Humans with such ordained status claimed by achieving Knowledge to get paid to help God when he is busy saving the world?


Is it a need to condemn or shall we say instruct? Pastors, Priest, Ministers Are all Human Qualified. By Man themselves through biblical knowledge studies. We only listen to what speakers have to say, we have got 29 other nations participating with a unique individual mind of each. How Can a Pastor Give Motivation by the words of God when only the people who suffered hardship knows how it feels like to be in Hell Daily. Who are we to Judge or planned or instruct?

God Do not force no one in fact anyone to believe in him, all he does was to touch people who he thinks needs him most when he sees everyone else but you. He do not sit to gather disciples or only to pray for more followers. God walked with his feet, door to door, heart to heart, one by one. So again a question always bugs me in my head that is why would Lord Jesus Needs Politics in his kingdoms? Pastors claim not to preach about politics and claim not politics but what are they trying to administer to the Christians that attended? This is the real world, Cold and harsh and Blunt and Corrupted.

Lord Jesus Do not Pamper His Disciples.
Lord Jesus Do not Need Politicians Running as Minister to ensure the longevity and foreverness of his Faith.
God is Already Forever.

What's the point of having such great conceptual event? When above all contradicts the Objectives of this Gathering of the Christians.


FreedomExpressions© Strongly agree to Rev.Ong The First very Inspirational Speaker that seeks to see a new system of change in the way a Church has to function.

Pastor Mike Of UK, inspires the different with the indifferent. He says,” To ignore denomination when it comes to God Lord Jesus Christ.”

The rest were just harmonious church gospel been played by live worship bands from participating nations. Cultural dances was an eye opener, people who represented African Nations didn't quiet forget their highly spirited worshiping to their unique way of musical expression.

When Nations are still being placed as Nations throughout the whole entire conference, they will be going back home as Nations again.

They all gathered for God but they all went back home with their own problems with their own nations again. We didn’t hear anything from the people who attended. Ain't that the objective of having such grand religious conference with speaker and crowd interaction? Improper arrangements on participants seating that goes by nations separates us all again under the category of nations. How is Christianity ever going to prevail by having such categorizations? Where Gods love for human was so simple guided by his words from the bible.

Do we need to further complicate this beautiful faith call Christianity by having an ongoing church supremacy exhibition? Or the system of the Youth Church needs to be changed before the world continues this circle of no progress as Humans not Man of Gods. Because God says this, Place your eyes before all mankind and all living things. So what about in this event of such conference? When all pastor spoke about how to reach god when everyone that attended the conference has a burden unheard in their inner hearts. Voice out to God your confessions God says. What have we heard from the people that came to the conference with a hope? They will all return home with a slight hope that will forever be silent.

This is the real world. Should the world even start to consider the removal of RELIGION REGISTRATION to all nations in this world? Can a Pastor preach the current without any Concrete Supporting of Knowledge one possess?

- Can a person With Unfinished Education and negative lifestyle during her young age Preach about the working logics of a Left Brain & Right Brain Concept?
The Author Felt fouled mouthing expressions when FACTS were MERGED with RELIGION and HOW RELIGION STIMULATES THE BRAIN ON A RIGHT AND LEFT BRAIN PERSON. First of all How Can We Humans ever know this? Did you know that Medical History Started through a series of killings and murder and stealing? FACT

Can A Pastor Pave Dreams for People who attend the conference?
- Dreams are individualistic goals. When the conference was all about Speaking To the Nations They all Ended up telling every youth attended that they be business people that earns mega tons of cash and other occupation like divas and likewise like not. Pastors preached at their own will of emotional Expression for God. What we seriously need is “Talking with Responsible” Pastors.

No Truth was revealed upon the Microphone about any nation. All we here was Encouragement to the Nations through prayers without even knowing which nations which source that is facing problems.

“Humanity needs a revolution in Religion, in fact All Religion” The Author. This world today needs a revolution of mutual respect govern by Humanism as a core structure to adhere.Humans tend to conglomerate meanings and interpretations to incidents and accidents that occurred.

Why not Christianity Be Only Christianity?
Why not Islam Be Only Islam?
Why not Buddhism Be Only Buddhism?
Why not Hinduism Be only Hinduism?

Why Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism and Like Wise to other Respective Religions out there in this world today has Sub Categorizations to their believes of Their Respective Faith and the way of life. All Religion Teaches Humanity to be good. All Religion Bestowed to be Godly through History of All Nations are not made up or simply An artifact that is being placed onto the world’s under earth.

Why People Needs To Fight and Seek Blood Spills to end every miss understanding to Humanity?
Why Does a Same Faith that Believes the Same Savior, Fights for Glorified Supremacy to whose Teachings to the Same Savior is better? All Religion Has This Problem. So to humanity, why are we fighting among ourselves to proof whose ways of preaching is the better truth? Where we can all just sit down and preach our respective teachings the way the world is being bestowed with our own directions with Humanism in Mind as Humans?
The World Needs Religion, God Didn’t Place Religion in this world for no reason, It is evident that humanity hadn’t learnt anything about “Religion – The Purpose, The Needs, The Truth.”

If only Humanity acts in Humanism, Our History could have been a little more Civilized.

God Save US All

Amen.

Humanity Brooding By Joel Low

It seems it is destiny
Always but a fleeting memory
Ah… in uncertainty…
I love it when you’re loosing sanity…

A nomad wanderer
In the lives of those dearest around me
No… dumb slumberer,
Awake your deepest furnace - set it free!

These soulful few
Of which I laid part of my life into
That useless crew?
Don’t bother laying their dues in queue…

Leaving when the smiles
Strikes across their beautiful faces
Seeking through these piles…
All these stacks of picturesque places…

Bidding goodbyes
When the mood’s in sweet lovely laces
Cutting the ties,
Just when you’re breaking to pieces!

It seems it’s my lot
To be just the catalyst to the plot
Ho… you’ll just rot
Lost in the dark, like a blackened blot…

Second fiddle
Only to the music of the coming chords
Worst than a weasel,
Trying to get past the trapping boards…

Oh, but a muse
To lay caring dreams in their beds
Oh… it’s all a ruse…
 I’ll tell you when dream & nightmare weds…

Dare I feel used
Another tool in God’s shed
You’re abused,
 God has thrown you out to be dead!

Left once more lonely
In the shadows of another wayward path
 Bereft of anything holy…
Cast in the depths of fiery wrath…

Though I feel fulfilled
My task completed and the joys abundant
Our agreement sealed…
I await you in this pit of burden…

I long for companionship
One who would walk with me instead
You’ll wish no friendship!
Once you’ve walked my hounds of dread…

Along the deep roads
Those lovely moats of agape love
A long painful path, these moats…

Come now to me, come now to sacrifice your love… 
For Humanity
