Billions siphoned
As I read the front page of The Star, it reported that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission alleged that 60% of the Sarawak government allocations between 2004 - 2008 have been misappropriated.
Frankly what is new? What we desire is to see what is the remedy. The annual AG report for years more or less reports the same kind of things but what is being done about it? We work hard and have to pay our company taxes ahead of time based on forecast. We truly hope that the government be more accountable for our money. I really hope that Malaysia can be strong and be competitive regionally and globally in years to come.

Latest book I read
This is a 555 pager which took me a while to read. A very interesting read and also explains why my parents have always said I am the descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
Whatever the case I pray that God will continue to bless China and make them a super-super-super power and His will be done.
Also pray that God will bless Malaysia and purge all that is wrong. Malaysia is a blessed country and I hope that there will be prosperity, peace, racial harmony, even playing ground for all races and away with race based politics.

Wall of containment
I was watching a History channel program called "Escaping North Korea". In NK people are starving and don't even have enough to eat.The program showed people eating from whatever scraps they could find in the dumps and streets. During a recent famine over 2 million people died.
It is a wall of "darkness"! How good can a place good be if you need to use force to keep people from leaving! We are meant to live in liberty and have life in abundance.
The NK-SK border is impossible to cross given the 700k NK soldiers and 400k SK soldiers at either side of the border with a 40km of demilitarized zone in between. The documentary showed how people had to risk their lives to cross the North Korea-China border. They have to bribe the NK side to come across to China. And once in China they are at risk of being caught and deported back to NK. Lots of young N Korean women often come over looking for a better job but only to enter a life of prostitution.
Once in China many of the escapees are lost for work and risk deportation. But there exist a Christian ministry to help bring such escapees to SK. These fugitives learn about the ministry while in China and contact them in SK via the Internet. Through the Christian network, they are housed in Shenyang and be trained for the ordeal. The escapees had to take a 36 hour train ride from Shenyang to Beijing, then to Kunming. On the train they risk arrest and sit in different cabins to avoid detection and try not to speak as they have no valid travel documents.
Once they are in Kunming, the smugglers then help them to cross the Laos-China border through the thickest of jungle. This will take over a day with leeches clinging to your skin. There are border guards surveillance to avoid. Then they hop on an arranged mini-bus and head for the Mekong river. This is a whole day trip. If they are caught, they will be deported by the Laotian government to NK and likely to be executed. Only the Thai government allows asylum.
To cross from Laos in Thailand, they have to go in a canoe to cross the Mekong river. Once in Thailand they are safe. They will go to the S Korean embassy where they will be granted asylum.
I guess no matter how ill-fated we may feel, I believe there are many worse off than us. Post-war South Korea was in ruins. But it was God who raised the nation up into what it is today and used great men of God like Ps.Cho Yonggi to evangelize S.Korea during those difficult times. S Korea has now probably one of the highest number of Christians in Asia.

God's protection
As I sit here on the eve of my hospitalization I reflect on God's protection. He is the Lord our shield and Protector. I reflect on the things that have gone wrong and in truth could be worse.
The Devil is merciless. He is out to steal, kill and destroy. Without God's protection for an hour or a day, we are finished. Just look at Job when God merely removed His protection. The Devil destroyed his business and killed his children. So even when things take a down turn or life is driven to a corner, just bear in mind that God is always there to protect us. Without His protection it will certainly be much worst if not catastrophic.
Dear Lord Jesus, I pray, that may I never leave your protection and your shield. I love you dear Lord and know that You are protecting me even as I sleep or am busy with my daily chores. Even when all the chips are down, even if life takes a cruel turn, I know I am safely in Your arms. Amen!

Pray for me
Do pray that the Lord will heal me of my tonsillitis. I am scheduled for an operation under GA but been busy and I cannot even find the documents to admit me to hospital. I lost the documents and my admission forms oh Lord!
Please pray that the procedure will be smooth and that there will be no post-operative bleeding. The last time I had an operation on my sinus I bled a few pints of blood (2 bath towels soaked with blood) and rushed back to the hospital few days after the operation (at home) and nearly died.

Buddha - Siddhartha Gautama
(Foretold the Holy One) Spoke of Jesus
500 years before Jesus was born
(Foretold the Holy One) Spoke of Jesus
500 years before Jesus was born
In the Buddhist Suthra (Scriptures) in Khmer Language (a Cambodian language writing), there is a prophecy from about 500 B.C. (Before Christ) of the "Holy One" who would come. One who would lead the people away from the old way, and introduce a new way.
Buddha said “Keep on making merit and look for another Holy One who will come and help the world and all of you in the future.”
Buddha described the "Holy One" by saying;
"in the palm of his hands and in the flat of his feet will be the design of a disk, in his side will be a stab wound; and his forehead will have many marks like scars...." This describes the risen Jesus, after being crucified for our sins, exactly!
Wat Phra SingPermission was granted to copy these Buddhist Scriptures regarding the prophecy of the Holy One (Jesus) from Wat Phra Sing in Chiang Mai Province. The person who gave permission was Phra Sriwisutthiwong in Bangkok. It is guaranteed that this copy is accurate according to the original, that there is no error in transmission, which is in the book of the district headman, the religious encyclopedia, volume 23, book #29. This inquiry was made on October 13, 1954 A.D. (Buddhist era 2497). Phra Sriwisutthiwong is the Deputy Abbot and Director of Wat Pho Museum, Wat Pho Temple, Thailand.
