Lucky Wild Boars In Indian Temple

Thousands have, over the years, flocked the Om Sakthi Sri Jada Muneesvarar Alayam temple in Happy Park, Kamunting, Taiping to touch the wild boars there, for good fortune.



The wild boars which congregate at the temple grounds are from the secondary jungle nearby. They feed on the food prepared for them by temple volunteers. The temple, popularly known as the "Lucky Wild Boar Temple", have attracted hundreds of visitors daily since news spread of many people winning the local empat ekor (4-digit lotteries - Magnum 4D, Sports Toto, and Damacai) draws.



According to folklore, the wild boars are specially protected by the deity of the temple and are said to have special powers to bring good luck to those who touch them.



Believers usually stretch out their hands through the wooden barricade holding either pieces of paper with numbers written on it, paper money or lottery tickets to rub on the wild boars. Some even pluck strands of hair from the boars to keep as lucky charms.



According to local residents, about 6 years ago, news began to spread about the temple when a local Chinese handyman, carrying out repair works at the temple, stroked the wild boars and won numerous empat ekor prizes.



There are a few pantang larang (prohibitions) when at the temple, one of which is that visitors cannot refer to the wild boars as 'boars' or "pigs" in their presence, but must refer to them as "ah-maa" or chant “Ba, babababa…”

National Sports Council Hostel Being Attacked By Spirits

Harian Metro reported that the National Sports Council hostel in Bukit Jalil is under attack by supernatural beings.

Approximately 400 athletes and coaches had apparently experienced the phenomena of spirit possessions and disturbances while asleep including computers mysteriously being switched on at night.

One athlete claimed that she was possessed by a spirit and was pinned to the wall, then as she screamed loudly, she fainted. She only regained consciousness with the assistance of an ustaz.

An official from National Sports Council admitted that these cases had been occurring since the complex opened in 1996, however the intensity of these attacks have increased over the past couple of months.

The area under supernatural attack is now sealed with Islamic protective spells for 3 nights in a row from last Saturday with the help of Islamic healing centre Darul Syifa.

Plump Girl Desperately Seeks Companion For Valentine's Day

Diva reported recently that the Singaporean girl in the picture above has gone to website, STOMP, to publicly appeal for a date on Valentine's Day.

According to the report, she emailed STOMP saying, "I am Valentine, 25, and I will be turning 25 on 14th February 2010, which is Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and also my birthday.

"I was wondering whether STOMP can make my birthday wish come true.

"I would like to have a memorable 25th birthday to remember and it's not often 3 situations can occur on a single day (birthday, Valentine's Day plus Chinese New Year), therefore I would like to have an opportunity to have a smashing birthday.

"Can you find me my Valentine?"

However, the response from netizens' was less than flattering. Apparently, 62 people out of 70 people who voted, said "no" to dating her. Most were blunt saying that she was just not pretty.

A psychiatrist when analysing her said there are 2 possible reasons for her actions. She is either
mature and self confident or she's immature and lacks self confidence.

He said if she has self confidence, she would have expected such criticisms but is unfazed by it. But if she lacks self confidence and just wanted to have fun in attracting some attention, the vicious comments will erode her fragile confidence.

Here are what some comments in support of her say:

• "I admire her openness. For that she deserves to be applauded. Guys, please do not degrade her. Look at yourself in the mirror first before saying anything negative about others. It's better to have inner beauty than beautiful external aesthetics."

• "Well, I am surprised at the bad responses she got because she's not forcing anyone to date her. For those who told her off, are they sure that they are so good-looking ? They are just being mean to her. I like her frankness and honestly, from her photos, she's definitely not ugly. I would rather have a date and have fun with someone like her than going out with a 'beautiful vase'.

• "It is a brave act to share her happiness with someone she looks forward to. Don't spoil her life with ruthless comment. We should inspired others not create despair. :)"

Ok, what do you think, guys ? Will you date her or not ?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apple has launched its latest creation yesterday - the iPad.

The iPad, which is a tablet computer, supposedly a cross between a smartphone and a laptop will apparently make web browsing, email, photos sharing, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, and reading ebooks, better.

The sleek looking iPad tablet is only 0.5 inch thick and weighs 680 grams featuring a big 9.7 inch LED backlit multi-touch screen.

Despite its looks, most technology observers describe the iPad as just a giant iPhone and are rather disappointed with it - they say many basic features are not available on the iPad.

Here are just a few of the things that the iPad doesn't have:

• No camera: There is no front-facing camera for video conferencing, and there is no back-facing camera for taking pictures.

• No phone calls — Although the iPad supports cellular networks and has a build-in microphone, you cannot make telephone calls or send SMS.

• No multitasking: You cannot run multiple applications simultaneously. Thus you can't, among other things, listen to the online radio while updating your Facebook.

• No HDMI Output: You cannot connect your iPad to your TV or a projector to do presentations.
  

• No USB port: You cannot plug in any other device, such as a thumb drive, into the iPad.

• No flash — As there's no Adobe Flash Player on the iPad, you cannot play flash animations, videos or games on the iPad - yes, you cannot play Facebook games on it.

The iPad tablet comes in 2 versions — with WiFi only or with both WiFi and 3G.

The price of an iPad starts from US$499 (RM1,697) for WiFi-only models and up to US$829 (RM2,818) for the WiFi- and 3G-enabled 64GB model.Although there is no determined date when the iPad will be available in Malaysia, Apple says the iPad will be available worldwide within 2 months from now - sometime late March, presumably.

Apple's huge brand advantage and its loyal customer base has not discouraged its competitors from introducing their own tablets, many of them running on the Google Android OS:

• HP Slate: Runs on Windows 7

• Asus Eee Tablet: Soon to be reveled, which may run on Google Android

• Notion Ink Tablet: Runs on Google Android
  

• Google/HTC Tablet: Rumors in the market is that Google and HTC are developing a Google tablet to run on Google Android.

Astrologers Influence The Sri Lankan Election

Mahinda Rajapakse and Sarath Fonseka during better times

Although Sri Lanka has ended its 37-year civil war the in today's presidential election, fortune tellers and astrologers still play a large part in the countries' politics.

Apparently the decision to call the snap election, the exact date of voting and the emergence of opposition candidate Sarath Fonseka is the result of astrologers' advise.

Astrologers' forecasts are accepted as more reliable than the more conventional methods of gauging the poll results.

In this superstitious country many politicians have personal astrologers and all events are seen to be determined by the planets.

The national parliament has its sessions at times times dictated by astrology .

There was a case where former president, Ranasinghe Premadasa, even used air force helicopters to sprinkle blessed soil over key cities. He also used psychics to ward off an impeachment against him in 1991. However, his fortune tellers could didn't predict that he would be assassinated without warning in a suicide bombing in May 1993.

The Sri Lankan military is also known to have launched attacks against the Tamil Tigers at auspicious times decided by astrologers rather than military strategists.

In this presidential contest, President Mahinda Rajapakse, a lawyer by profession, is standing against his former army chief and close friend Sarath Fonseka with whom he defeated the country's Tamil Tiger rebels last year, ending their 37-year battle for a Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka.

However the friendship was strained after a Buddhist monk and respected astrologer predicted that Sarath Fonseka was going through a "raaja yoga", which means a sign of "great things" usually seen in the astrological chart of a statesmen.

Rumours say that Mahinda Rajapakse's government saw Sarath Fonseka, who is regarded as a national hero after the war, as a threat, as he could successfully pull off a coup given his powerful celestial position and popularity.

Sarath Fonseka then quit as head of the armed forces in November and entered politics, saying that the government suspects him of mutiny and has moved to sideline him.

Mahinda Rajapakse decided to call the presidential election 2 years earlier before the end of his term relying on several astrological predictions saying that January 26 2010 is the most favourable date for him should the poll be held.

On Sunday, the opposition warned that Mahinda Rajapakse's United People's Freedom Alliance is preparing a state-backed coup to keep themselves in power should they lose the election.

Both sides appear to have soothsayers on their side predicting their win.

In Asia, it is not uncommon for leaders to rely on the supernatural to regulate their lives and the fortunes of their countries on the basis of superstitious beliefs.

In Malaysia, local politicians consult bomohs to obtain advantages against their adversaries when the party or general election looms close.

China Fashion Week

This is one of the new fashion revealed at the China Fashion Week in September last year. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought it was the China Comedy Week. The picture above shows a model wearing mismatched outfit bought from a pasar malam in Beijing. Honestly, who will really wear these clothes ? here's another one:

This creation can be called "Suit of the Times" ?. This joker got some clocks from IKEA and sewed it on a diving suit.

Please post your comments.

Cleansing Ritual By Family For Family Caused Death

The local newspapers are filled of stories pertaining to the deadly cleansing ritual that cause the death of 2 family members.

2 of 3 family members charged with the death of a couple during a exorcism ritual on 1st Oct last year, were sentenced by the HIgh Court to 10 years jail while the other was ordered to undergo treatment at Hospital Bahagia in Tanjung Rambutan.

Muhammad Ilyas, Muhammad Fauzi and Muhammad Nizam were jointly charged with causing the deaths of Mohd Ibrahim Kader Mydin, 48, and Rosina S.M. Mydin Pillay, 42, (Muhammad Nizam’s parents and Muhammad Ilyas's uncle and aunt) at 57C Blok A, Flat Seri Sarawak, Jalan Kenanga, in 2008.

The 3 apparently practised the teachings of Abuya Ashaari, whom they believe have the ability to raise the dead. Abuya Ashaari used to head outlawed religious sect Al-Arqam (which is now called Rufaqa).

In the current case, 7 family members were allegedly beaten up in a ''cleansing ritual''.

During the trial, Muhammad Ilyas told court that he had hit his uncle and aunt to death with a motorcycle helmet and piece of wood to cleanse them of the jin (evil spirits) in them.

Muhammad Ilyas told the court that he had no intention of killing the couple. He hit them because could see that there were many evil spirits in his house and in the bodies of all his family members which he had to chase away to prevent the jin harming the family.

Muhammad Ilyas also said after the house had been cleaned of the blood spots, he ordered Muhammad Fauzi to pour hot water over his aunt's an uncle's body in attempt to revive them.

Sofiah Mohd Ibrahim, 22, and her aunt Sairah Banu Sultan, 45, who witnessed the event told the court that they allowed themselves to be hit, slapped and kicked because they were hypnotised and were not fully conscious of what was happening.

Old Women Cheated Of RM256,565

A 61 year old woman from Cheras was cheated of RM256,565 in money and valuables by 3 women.

The victim, Lee Yoke Chan, went to the morning market in Cheras last week when the women approached her.

In the pretext of asking for directions to a temple, they told Lee Yoke Chan that she would die in 3 days unless she goes through a cleansing ritual by a sifu at the temple as she had been followed by the ghost of a pregnant woman who had died in an accident.

The women persuaded her to hand over all her money and jewellery, which they said was essential for the cleansing ritual, but assured her that these will be returned to her after the ritual.

When Lee Yoke Chan agreed to their suggestion, the women followed her to the bank to withdraw RM186,565 and then followed her home to obtain the RM70,000 worth of jewellery.

Once the money and valuables were obtained, they returned to the market to meet other women. Upon some discussions, the women said the cleansing ritual could not be performed that day because the sifu wasn't at the temple. However, they assured Lee Yoke Chan that the sifu had already blessed the bag containing the money and jewellery, and everything was alright.

Then, without Lee Yoke Chan noticing, the women apparently the swapped the bag containing the money and jewellery with another bag filled a few oranges, packets of instant noodles, bread, a bottle of water and bottles of salt.

The women then returned the "bag" to Lee Yoke Chan and told her not to open it until the next day to avoid bad luck. She made a police report upon discovering the scam the next day.

UFO Sighted In Penang

Sin Chew reported last year that a “burning fireball” in the sky was seen at Balik Pulau, Penang.



Apparently residents of Kuala Sungai Pinang and Sungai Rusa started gathering around the oil palm estate following rumours of the UFO sighting. They kept on looking up at the night sky, waiting to catch a glimpse of the UFO.



A “fireball” was then seen moving up and down above a coconut tree. This sight got everyone shouting which caused a few young men to rush to the location on their motorcycles to witness for themselves.



Read the full story here.



The above video, however, was recorded recently in Batu Ferringhi by someone calling himself "Penang Chai". He captured the phenomena using his hand phone while he and his girlfriend witnessed the "dancing lights" in the sky that night. What do you think ?

Magic Chinese Bowl Can Cure Erectile Dysfunction

The Star recently reported claims of an ancient Chinese bowl, inherited by an ex-government servant from Kampong Seberang Jerteh, Terengganu, having supernatural powers including being able to cure erectile dysfunction.

70 year old Mohd Nor Daud (picture above) says that he believe that the bowl was given to his ancestors by traders from China. The Bowl is estimated to be of 16th century. He learned of its magical powers from his father who died years ago.

Mohd Nor Daud claims that the bowl can change seawater into freshwater safe for drinking if the water was kept in the bowl for 8 hours.

He claimed that illnesses like impotence can be cured by drinking the water from the bowl.

Another claim is that cooked food can be kept for days without refrigeration and won't go bad if kept in the bowl.

Further, those who intend to lift the bowl, according to Mohd Nor Daud, must clean their hands thoroughly. If not, they will not be able to lift the relic.

Prostitute Causes Man's Death With His Penis And Anus Injured

This photo is for illustrative purposes only

Sin Chew Daily reported that a 65 year old Singaporean businessman was brutally killed in Thailand with his penis and anus severely injured. He was allegedly gruesomely killed because he refused to pay a prostitute who was also one of his Thai mistresses. Businessman Teoh Ah Hui's dead body was found in a paddy field at Sriracha, Thailand.

According to the news report, his 29-year-old mistress, who was also working as a prostitute at the Health Recreational Park charges 600 baht (RM60) per night and is married to 2 men whom she supports financially. These 2 men are the suspects believed to have killed the businessman.

Teoh Ah Hui's mistress apparently became jealous and angry with the businessman when she heard that while he refused pay for her services, he had earlier given another one of his mistresses 15,000 baht (RM1,500) to go on holiday.

Remove Your Bra For Free Drinks

The photos are for illustrative purposes only

According to China Press, a Singapore bar is offering free drinks to women if they take off their bra. But not all women's "breasts friend" are rewarded equally.

Singapore's OverEasy bar promotional “Fill My Cups” theme gives free drinks to women according to their bra cup sizes as follows:

• A cup would get 1 free drink
  
  
• B cup would get 2 drinks
• C cup would receive 3 drinks
• D cup would be given a bottle of alcoholic drink worth S$168 (RM408)

Look at this girl. She just can't wait to finish her free drinks in the toilet. :)



Do you think this is creative marketing or is it degrading to women ?

What you should know about GST

Because the new tax is complex and broad-based, we have a lot to learn ahead of its introduction. As a start, StarBizWeek has asked some experts to each highlight five key points.

Pauline Lum

Director, BDO Tax Services Sdn Bhd

·GST is a consumption tax on imported goods, and on supplies of goods and services in Malaysia other than those exempted or zero-rated. It is mainly borne by the end-user/consumer, and therefore, is not intended to add cost to businesses.

·GST is applied at each level of the value chain. This tax will be applicable whenever value is added to goods or a service.

·Businesses are required to register for GST if their annual turnover exceeds RM500,000. They can claim the input taxes paid on purchases of intermediate goods or services, against the GST charged on the final goods or services that they sell.

·Preparations can include the setting up of a GST committee, staff training for all departments, and manuals/systems to ensure compliance. Businesses that do not have internal expertise should consider engaging external advisors.

l As co-head of the tax authority of France, Maurice Laure created the GST system in 1954, when he introduced the TVA (the French abbreviation for value added tax).

Dr Veerinderjeet Singh

President, Chartered Tax Institute of Malaysia

·GST is not a new tax for Malaysia. It is intended to replace the existing sales tax and service tax.

·It has built-in control mechanisms that help minimise tax evasion by traders.

·GST requires good and proper record-keeping by businesses that need to be registered. This can lead to improvements in the maintenance of proper accounts and financial records.

·The tax will not lead to inflationary pressures, that is, a persistent increase in prices.

·Once GST is effectively implemented for some time, there is the possibility of decreases in corporate and personal tax rates.

Ronnie Lim

Country tax leader, Deloitte Malaysia

·Exemption is bad for GST. Businesses should not ask for their output to be exempted as this will create more costs for them, arising from restricted input tax credit. Instead – and perhaps strangely – one should seek to be a taxable person with either zero-rated or standard-rated output.

·GST implementation is not as easy as merely activating an accounting software’s GST module. That system has to be tailored to the profile of the business and the Malaysian GST law.

·Most companies leave tax implications to the tax, accounting or finance departments. GST should be viewed differently as it has enterprise-wide effects.

The sales department has to revise selling prices exclusive of GST. The procurement unit must re-negotiate purchase prices. The legal team need to review long-term contracts. Therefore, the whole company must understand this tax.

·Much more administrative and documentation requirements arise from the introduction of GST. Compliance costs are bound to increase. Often, adverse situations arise when documentation is inadequate.

·GST can potentially reduce tax leakages, such as smuggling, as there could be checks before unusual credit claims are processed. Leakages will be further minimised if the Customs and the Inland Revenue Board are unified to create a powerhouse, as seen in Britain.

Dr Arjunan Subramaniam

Adjunct professor, Universiti Utara Malaysia

·GST is due when a person makes a taxable supply in the course of business. As a taxable person, you must charge GST to your customer when you supply to the customer. This supply is output and your charge to the customer is output tax.

·GST charged to you for your business purchases is called input tax.

·You must pay to the Customs the amount of your output tax minus your input tax. If the input tax is greater than the output tax, the difference is claimed from the department. So keep accurate records of all your sales and purchases.

·GST is a consumption tax. It is your customer who bears the burden of tax.

·Imports are subject to GST, while exports are exempt.

Khoo Chuan Keat

Tax leader and senior executive director, PricewaterhouseCoopers Taxation Services Sdn Bhd

·GST is a fiscal policy feature in over 140 countries. Many developing and emerging economies have been transforming their tax revenue bases by progressively moving from direct taxation to consumption taxes such as GST in recent years. Malaysia is in the minority segment.

·GST affects all functional areas of a business and is not just a finance issue. The GST implementation is not only about reconfiguring the computer system in order to charge output tax. In fact, businesses should re-assess their entire business processes, including supply chains, so as to optimise input tax recoveries. Otherwise, they may suffer input tax leakages, thus hurting their competitiveness and profitability.

·Consumers can expect to see a drop in prices of certain goods and services. Without realising it, the consumers are already paying sales tax and service tax embedded in the supply chain. Anti-profiteering measures should be implemented and strictly enforced to deter traders from taking advantage of GST to raise prices and increase profits.

·The GST input tax incurred by businesses is claimable as a credit if they make taxable supplies. This avoids the cascading tax effect of the current single-stage sales tax and service tax regime, which results in higher prices.

·Recognising the wide-ranging impact of GST, the Government has proposed an initial low rate of 4%, coupled with zero-rating and exemption of essential goods and services. Anti-profiteering legislation and other measures for qualifying persons in the lower-income groups may be introduced to alleviate the adverse impact of GST on consumers.

Dr Jeyapalan Kasipillai

Professor, Monash University Sunway campus

·GST is a multi-stage tax but is a cost only to the final consumer.

·The GST system is transparent, with a built-in mechanism to track down defaulters.

·The new tax will give the Government an opportunity to reduce corporate and individual tax rates.

·It will also enable the Government to subsidise essential controlled items for the poor and to improve healthcare for taxpayers.

·GST can be a good source of government revenue and will help shrink the deficit.

Nicholas Crist

Executive director, KPMG Tax Services Sdn Bhd

·GST and value added tax (VAT) are the same conceptually. Over 100 countries have GST/VAT as part of their tax systems.

·Malaysia’s proposed GST rate of 4% is among the lowest rates in the world. The highest rate currently is 25%.

·Basic necessities, such as food, are proposed to be zero-rated (0%). However, processed food, such as canned food, will be charged at the standard rate. Classification can lead to interpretational issues. For example, in Britain, the courts had to determine whether a Jaffa Cake, a biscuit-like cake, was a biscuit (standard-rated) or a cake (zero-rated).

·GST/VAT can be used as a tool to manage the economy. For example, Britain reduced its VAT standard rate from 17.5% to 15% in December 2008 to boost consumer demand during the financial crisis.

·The Government has indicated that the GST would provide an opportunity to reduce income tax rates. This has happened in other countries, such as Singapore.

Chas Roy-Chowdhury

Head of tax, Association of Chartered Certified Accountants

·In Europe, GST is known as VAT. Most of the rest of the world uses the term GST.

·GST rates may start off low, but in the global context, they have always risen. In the European Union (EU), the rates have increased considerably from the introduction of the tax. The rate in Britain, for instance, was once 10%. It is 17.5% today.

·When Britain introduced VAT in 1973 as a prerequisite to joining the EU, it was seen as a simple tax. Now, it is one of the most complex of taxes. Therefore, serious effort is needed to stop complexity from creeping into the system.

·Because most intra-EU goods are not subject to VAT, there is an opportunity for various types of tax fraud. It is thought that the amount involved could be as high as 100 billion euros.

·There is a debate in the United States over whether to introduce VAT, mainly as a way to address the country’s huge budget deficit.

Bhupinder Singh

Partner, Ernst & Young Tax Consultants Sdn Bhd

·GST will not burden the rakyat. For those currently consuming goods and services that are subject to sales/service tax, the impact of GST should be neutral if the rate is 4%. In fact, consumers should benefit if the suppliers pass on the savings from their ability to claim back input tax on their purchases.

Consumers should also be better off because some essential goods will be zero-rated, while certain items are exempted from GST.

·A business can claim an input tax credit on purchases irrespective of whether it has paid the suppliers, as long as the suppliers have issued tax invoices to the business.

There should be no adverse GST impact on a business that makes taxable supplies. In the long run, the cost of doing business will go down because the business will have the ability to claim input tax on the purchase of goods and services, which they cannot do under the sales/service tax regime.

·Businesses will experience a cash flow impact. They have to charge GST on sales and if the customers are late in paying, the businesses will have to pay the tax first.

·It is important to educate businesses, especially the small players, on the cost savings and potential cash flow savings aspects of GST. It is equally important to educate consumers so that they understand that the goods and services they buy may not necessarily be subject to a price increase because of GST.

·GST works on the affordability concept. As a consumer, you decide which goods and services to buy, and if these are subject to GST, you then have to pay it. This is no different under the current sales/service tax regime except that these taxes are embedded in the price of the goods and services, and the consumer may not realise that they, in fact, bear the taxes.

Boss Jailed For Kissing Interviewee

The Singapore Straits Times reported that Lim Peng Heng, 36, (pic above) was jailed for 2 weeks by a district court for outraging the modesty of a 25-year-old woman by kissing her on the lips and bragging about his sexual prowess.

The 25 year old woman was being interviewed by Lim Peng Heng, the boss of an advertising agency, for the post of administrative clerk when he pulled her close and gave her a "birthday kiss" on the lips.

According to the news report, Lim Peng Heng apparently has a previous conviction for molestation for which he was jailed for 2 1/2 months in 1995.

Kiss also cannot ? For some girls, if you don't kiss them, they get angry. For other girls, if you kiss them, they will report you. One girl told me when she first met a guy on a date, the guy started licking her face like a puppy dog - so weird.

When girls talk about sex to guys, its ok - guys have to just listen and cannot complain. Not fair, right ?

Menstrual Blood Vegetable & Nasi Kang Kang Recipe

Last year, Indra Ningsih, an Indonesian maid, was charged in Hong Kong for allegedly adding menstrual blood into her Hong Kong employer's food in an attempt to improve her difficult working environment.



The 26 year old Indonesian maid believed that the vegetable recipe she prepared, with her menstrual blood as an ingredient, would improve her strained relationship with her employer.



She was however caught in the act by her lady boss before she could proceed with her plan...



Read the full story here.



Some southeast Asian cultures believe that virginal fluids, including menstrual blood, have special supernatural powers and is commonly used by individuals and witch doctors in rituals.



In Malaysia, a somewhat related recipe is called nasi kang kang. According to Malay folklore, a woman who feeds her husband or boy friend with nasi kang kang can have absolute control over him.



It is a very easy recipe to follow - no advanced cooking skills are required. You just need patience. The female must squat (kang kang), without panties, over a pot of steaming hot rice (nasi) until the steam condenses at her muff and thighs. The condensed sweat and virginal fluids are then allowed to drip into the pot of rice. The fluids are then mixed thoroughly with the rice and served to the clueless man together with his favorite dishes.



There are many variants to this method. Some people say that it works only if done during a full moon, while others say that a full moon is not necessary.



Some women have reportedly improvised this recipe successfully by using claypot chicken rice. This method is useful for busy career women - just tar pau (take away) the claypot chicken rice from a shop and do the kang kang at home. Mix the damn thing up and serve it to the man.



No need to keep a pet dog, just get a man. A man can be just as obedient after eating nasi kang kang.



Caution: Nasi kang kang doesn't work on all men. If it doesn't work on him, then something bad will happen to you. Take note of this warning.

Ram Bahadur Bamjan - The Boy Buddha

17 year old Ram Bahadur Bamjan, some believe to be a reincarnation of the Buddha, has made a new appearance after more than a year in the forest.



Thousands of devotees have flocked to see Ram Bahadur Bamjan after he appeared a few months ago preaching in a temple in Ratanpur, Kathmandu, Tibet.



According to reports the whole jungle area where he has appeared has turned into a festival and approximately 10,000 pilgrims turned up.



While many are convinced that he is the reincarnation of Siddhartha Gautama, born in about 560BC, who later became revered as the Buddha, there are some who have expressed doubts.



Critics alleged that he is a fraud and is out to make money. They say in his past appearances thousands of pounds were collected from devotees. A French journalist had also filmed Ram Bahadur Bamjan eating while supposedly on a fast. There are also reports of him sleeping while he was supposed to be meditating.

Human Bones Used To Make Spiritual Swords

Kuo Chang-hsi the 65-year-old swordmaker from Taiwan uses human bones to make swords.

Kuo Chang-hsi, the swordmaker for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, uses the ancient Chinese technique of adding human bones to the fire in which he forges the swords.

According to the Kuo, this technique fills the swords with "spirit". Apparently in ancient China, a good sword was made by burning a whole man in the furnace, instead of just his bones.

Read more here.

From what the swordmaker said, I can assume that if you use the bones of a cowardly man, your sword wont be filled with a brave and powerful spirit as compared to using the bones of a courageous warrior.

Although the swordmaker didn't say anything about using the bones of animals to make swords, I would imagine that the same principle applies. For instance, if you use the bones of a tiger, it should make the sword ferocious as it will be instilled with the spirit of the tiger. Is this the reason why some Asian men eat tiger meat ? - to instill the tiger's spirit in them (i.e. their little "swords" in their trousers) ?

So if a man likes eating bak kut teh, then you'll know the quality of his "sword".

Sadly the swordsman didn't mention anything about how to improve the quality of your manly sword by what to eat.
