Huge python caught

The 70 kg python is 7.1 metres long and is 60 cm in diameter

The New Straits Times reported the capture of a huge python in Kampung Pogoh, near Segamat, Johor. It was later collected by officers of the Wildlife and National Parks Department in Segamat.

I hope it doesn't end up in some Chinaman's cooking pot!

Gem stones, my foot!

The New Straits Times reported the case of an extraordinary toe which produces gem-like stones.

The toe belongs to a 23-year-old girl, Siti Suhana Saadon, from Taman Cempaka in Durian Tunggal, near Alor Gajah who had become an overnight sensation when TV3 aired the bizarre story of crystal-like stones popping out from beneath her toe nail.

Her rubber-tapper mother Kamariah Komeng, 52, said Siti Suhana's left toenail has been discharging crystal-like beads over the past three months.

A medical specialist has expressed interest in checking Siti Suhana's condition, describing that it was unusual. "The stones looked like gems," said the doctor who is attached to the UKM Faculty of Medicine.

The Star, however, got the last word when it exposed this elaborate hoax. After Siti Suhana Saadon was admitted to the Putra Specialist Centre in Malacca on Thursday afternoon, doctors bandaged her left toe with gauze and sealed it with adhesive plaster.

Nothing here: No crystal-like beads or other out-of-the-ordinary objects
can be seen after Dr Senasi unwrapped Siti Suhana's left big toe on Saturday.

Yesterday, in the presence of curious reporters, surgeon Datuk Dr A. Senasi unwrapped the bandage to see if there were any beads.

There was none.

"As we can see, there is neither any crystal nor any other foreign object here," he said and proceeded to dress the toes with a new set of gauze.

Gem stones, my foot.

Africans treated like shit in Malaysia

Yes, Africans are treated like shit in Malaysia, as this article written by my good friend Jonathan from the BBC ~ which describes the experiences of two black Americans who were mistaken for Africans in Malaysia ~ will attest:

Incidents may mar Malaysia's tourism bid

One of the reasons blacks are treated this way in Malaysia is because there are a lot of Africans involved in criminal activities here. And, quite frankly, Malaysians are, by and large, pretty much fed-up and therefore these blacks and their like are not welcome in Malaysia.

I have personally dealt with African tenants who have not paid rent, people with implausible names like "Mr Fine" and "Prince." They seem to congregate in certain neighbourhoods like Damansara Damai and Batu 9, Cheras. Many claim to be students, footballers, or even, as one clearly incorrigible conman notoriously did, football coach to the Malaysian national and Selangor state teams, but are really nothing more than confidence tricksters.

Having said that, there is also a sizeable community of blacks in Cyberjaya, but they comprise of MMU students and are not necessarily associated with criminal activity.

Everyday, I get bombarded by Nigerian scammers who send e-mails trying to con me into parting with some money. One of the old scams is the "bovine medicine" scam, where they claim to have a dairy farmer in the UK willing to buy some antibiotic for cows at an exorbitant mark-up. The implausible thing is, they also give you the contact details of the seller of the drugs, who are themselves, in reality.

What they try to get you to do is to pay cash for the meds with the promise of them getting an unsuspecting farmer to pay for it at many times the price you paid for. Of course, the buyer never pays you because there's no such farmer in the first place. If you're greedy and gullible, you may well fall for this scam.

However, if you're level-headed you'd realise that since they have the buyer in hand and also know the seller, why do they need you to conclude the deal for them? Its not as if you're some world-renown expert in veterinary pharmaceuticals. Neither is Malaysia on the leading edge of pharmaceutical production that UK farmers have to source meds from here.

These Africans must be pretty stupid to think we'd fall for a scam like that. Its these stupid Africans that we want sent back to Nigeria or whatever AIDS-infected cesspit in Africa they came from.

As for the rest, Selamat Datang ke Visit Malaysia Year 2007, please pay cash, and have a nice day!

And, finally, a special message for Wayne Wright and his fellow American compatriot Yahweh Passim Nam: at least now you know how almost every Muslim visitor ~ including our International Trade and Finance Minister ~ to your wonderful land of the free gets treated. Actually, you got off pretty lightly ~ you didn't have to endure anal probes, did you?

Americans have a habit of treating others like pieces of shit and whinging when they get a piece of their own medicine. Why don't you show some grit like the Brits ~ lie back and think of Uncle Sam, for Chrissakes, be a man!

And Wayne, don't scream "I'm an American citizen!" ~ shouting a daft thing like that will get you killed in most parts of the world these days, man. Duh!

To annanorm:

This has been my experience with African tenants. If you've had better luck, then good luck to you. Tenants who don't pay rent and expect to stay for free are scum as far as I'm concerned.

As for African spam scammers, this will dispel you of your ignorance. Its typical of the daily scam spam I get:
