PERSONAL ACCOUNT
1.   In an attempt to legalize Najib for depositing RM2.6 billion into his personal account for so-called meant for 14th general election, I was accused of doing the same thing. This accusation is unfounded and slanderous.

2.   When I was UMNO President, the Headquarter have three trustees. I was one of them. Trustee owns accounts in bank. All donations, especially during election will be deposited into these accounts. Two of any these trustee have the authority to manage Headquarter's account and sign cheque for withdrawal.

3.   These trustee are also named as owner for shares and properties belonged to UMNO.

4.   When I resigned as UMNO President, I ordered all the cash in bank and shares together with property papers to be given to Dato Abdullah Badawi. The officers who gave all the relevant documents are Nor Mohamed Yacob and Noordin Bachik.

5.   Total cash handed over exceeds 200 million Ringgit. Total value of shares and property handed over exceeds 1.2 billion Ringgit.

6.   Not even a single sen from the donation money that meant for election deposited into my account. To verify my confession or vice versa, I'm ready show my personal account for 22 years to be check by those who have no interest.

7.   On 1964 and 1969 elections, the Headquarter gave me RM20,000 in cash to be distributed to parliment areas 40% and state areas 30% each. I deposited RM20,000 into my account because I'm not willing to keep the RM20,000 cash and I issued cheques to House of Representative and State Legislative Assembly election committee according to distribution set by the Headquarter. The money is not from donor but it's UMNO money that meant for candidates use.

8.   When I was removed from the party in 1970, the Intenal Revenue Department searched my house and clinic. They found the cheque stub issued by me and claimed that I didn't fully report my income.

9.   They fined me of RM300,000 with a warning that if I object and went to court, I will be fined three times more.

10.  I didn't go to court but I appealed that the money deposited into my account is from the party. But UMNO Headquarter didn't admit the money was from them.

11.  Finally, I was fined with RM130,000. I was already appointed as Minister in Government by that time. I paid the fine in instalments and settle it when I was Deputy Prime Minister.

12.  There is a little difference between RM20,000 cash I received and cheque amounting to USD 700 million equals to RM2.6 billion that were said deposited into Dato Sri Najib's personal account.

13.  If all the expenses used for five election during my tenure as UMNO President are checked, not much money is used, especially allocation from Headquarter, but BN never win less than 2/3 seats in Parliment.

14.  If now UMNO needs 2 1/2 billion of Ringgit for election, it still break election rules and regulation. Every candidate have to report election expenses account to the authority. It's wrong if it exceeds certain amount. I apologize if this rules has been dropped. This is to avoid corruption.

15.  I don't want to question where these USD 700 came from. I will wait for the Auditor-General and PAC make final report, even though I can't accept all the statement that will be made.

16.  I don't wish to touch on 1MDB even though I, as tax paying citizen have the right to question nation's finance. But as I have explained earlier, I have to pay income tax and fine for the money in my account.

17.  The question I would like to ask is, has the Internal Revenue Board acted according to the power given to them about the money amounting to RM2.6 billion in Dato Sri Najib's personal account.

PINGGAN BERTINTA PANTUN Pinggan bertinda pantun adalah penanda yang menandakan kepentingan rangkap catur larik dalam masyarakat Melayu pada masa dahulu. Bagi pengumpul barangan seramik dan barangan tembikar, nama Staffordshire mungkin sinonim dengan nana-nama seperti Wedgwood, Royal Doulton dan Royal Albert . Barangan berjenama ini merupakan pinggan mangkuk meja dan pinggan hiasan serta patung hiasan kecil yang menghiasi meja-meja dan dinding-dinding di kebanyakan runah di Malaysia. Bagaimanapun, hanya sedikit yang menyedari bahawa ada di antara pinggan-pinggan ini mula dibuat di Staffordshire , sebuah mukim di West Midlands di England bagi pasaran timur, ditulis dengan pantun Melayu dalam tulisan Jawi. Mungkin seawal tahun 1826, beberapa rangkap catur larik Melayu yang baik telah dipindahkan ke pinggan oleh para pengusaha sebelum dibawa belayar untuk pasaran di dunia Melayu. Kebanyakan pinggan bertinta pantun ini merupakan pinggan makan biasa dan ada juga mempunya

LESSONS FROM ANCIENT COMEDIES There is wisdom in these seemingly silly tales Picture this. A man mistakenly gives his newborn baby a bath in boiling hot water. The child's face, grimaced and distorted, reflects her agony. In the throes of death, she fails her hands about and dies in her father's arms. This is one of the most gruesome scenes in the popular Malay folk literature series of Pak Pandir.Pak Pandir, in absurd conclusion, looks at the baby's face and thinks she is laughing with glee. Mak Andeh comes home, to find her only daughter scalded to death. How this could be considered comedy is probably beyond the comprehension of the modern audiences of today. And yet, perhaps, this is the genius of the ancient comedies in delivering the simplest of messages. That sheer stupidity can cause great grief and untold personal loss. The unthinkable makes you think. Why such tales? Perhaps comedies are prevalent in all old fables as a means to share wisdom

Henry Gurney's Final Fight Gurney's funeral procession through the streets of Kuala Lumpur on Oct 8, 1951. The place is infested with mosquitoes and one glides to a halt on Siew Mah's sweat-soaked right forearm. Yet, the guerrilla commander of Pahang's 11th Regiment and close confidante of Chin Peng remains motionless at his ambush station. His eyes and mind are transfixed on the section of narrow twisting road further in front that forms an almost perfect S-shaped bend. Siew Mah moves his head slowly to check on the positions of the rest of his 38-member platoon. The movement startles the mosquito and it quickly flies away without having the chance to draw blood. From the corner of his eyes, the commander traces the tracks connected to his three Bren-gun firing positions. Satisfied, he turns to check the crucial withdrawal route where he and his men will dissolve back into the jungle once the act had been committed. The date is
