Chia-lat man,,,,live and die in jail

Madoff pleads guilty, faces 115 years in jail for US$64.8b fraud

Wah lau eh,,,even if God extends his term on earth, not sure if he will be able to live through to complete his jail term. But 115 years only for this man? He would have passed on lots to his relatives to survive many generations to come. 511 years may be more like it.

Happy retirement mr madoff. Cheers

Mr MAD-off's new Manhattan home

NEW YORK, March 13 - Bernard Madoff's new Manhattan home is the size of a walk-in closet, with cinderblock walls, linoleum floors and a bunk bed. Breakfast will be served before sunrise, and the disgraced financier can stretch his legs outside, but only every other day - in a cage. The Metropolitan Correctional Centre, which has housed accused terrorists and reputed mobsters, welcomed the 70-year-old Madoff yesterday after he pleaded guilty in one of Wall Street's biggest investment swindles and a judge revoked his bail. The federal jail in lower Manhattan stands between a courthouse and a church and holds inmates awaiting trial or serving short sentences. Currently, about 750 men and women are behind bars there. Since his arrest in December, Madoff has been confined to his US$7 million (RM25.2 million) penthouse apartment. When inmates first arrive at the jail, they are given physical and psychological exams and instructed on the rules. If cleared to enter the general population, they are issued a baggy brown uniform and assigned to cells measuring 7 ½-by-8 feet, each fitted with a sink and toilet.

Many inmates must share their cells with another prisoner, but it was not immediately clear Thursday whether Madoff would have a cellmate. There's a strict schedule: Lights on at 6 a.m., breakfast at 6:30 a.m., lunch at 11 a.m., dinner at 5 p.m., lights out at 11 p.m. During the day, inmates can watch television, play ping pong, work on their cases in a legal library or volunteer for janitorial duty. On alternate days, they are allowed up on the caged roof, where from courthouse windows they can be seen playing basketball. For court dates, they are shackled and escorted by deputy marshals through an underground tunnel.
The facility alots three hours a week for visits by family or lawyers. Inmates can also spend up to 300 minutes per month making phone calls, which can be monitored. Those who misbehave or present a risk of violence are thrown into a separate unit where they spend nearly all day locked in their cells and must endure strip searches and constant monitoring by cameras. Authorities tightened security in the unit after a guard was seriously injured in 2000 by a terrorist convicted in the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Notable inmates have included blind sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, who was sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt's president, and John "Junior" Gotti, the Gambino crime family scion now jailed in Brooklyn on murder charges. Current inmates include former Florida hedge fund manager Arthur Nadel, who is accused of bilking investors out of up to US$350 million. - AP

No more bulls please

PKR tells MACC, "No more bulls please". Haha
The pkr today tried to deliver a bull on a lorry to the macc to prove its point that MACC does not mean the malaysian commission for cars and cows. "why did they investigate the issue of 46 cows but sidelined all other reports?", pkr asked.

This is becoming indeed too much, too amusing and just too ridiculous for malaysians to understand. Can you?

Period of tribulation?

According to economist Nouriel Roubini, there is a high risk of severe global depression, with the capital "D", that may last for 36 months.

RM60b of what????

RM60 billion. That's a lot to swallow. Even to share it out among ALL the cronies, family members, friends and the lot, incoming, outgoing and all former heads of state. Man, man, oh man. What an utter lot to swallow. That man who utters nonsense will be so happy that he may just instantly have a heart attack and die grinning from ear to ear. Boy, boy,,,,as one blogger puts it, "The boys will be licking their lips,,,,"

But all that crap aside, what is this sum going to do us, as lay people of this nation. Details are so wishy washy.

A rotten friday but hey ,,,a shining star

And catch this:


Asian stock markets resume slide after US rout
HONG KONG, March 6 — Asian stock markets resumed their downward slide today after
Wall Street fell to its lowest levels in more than 12 years amid deepening fears about the
future of General Motors Corp and major financial companies.
The region's retreat marked a return to the selling that had gripped global equities markets
until a brief rally earlier this week on hopes China would announced major new stimulus
measures.
Investors, already deflated after Beijing failed to deliver, were rattled by a warning from
General Motors that the struggling automaker may have to file for bankruptcy.
Along with growing uncertainty about the financial system, the news led to yet another rout
in US markets with banking stocks suffering some of the steepest drops. Citigroup Inc.,
stilling reeling despite billions of dollars in government aid, fell below US$1 (RM3.70) a
share.
"You can buy Citi at the 99 cent store now," said Paul Schulte, a chief Asia equity strategist
at Nomura International in Hong Kong. "It's nauseating. We keep grasping at straws to find
hope, and the markets keep punishing us."
Investors were also holding back ahead of what is expected to be an especially bleak US
employment report later today.
Every major Asian market traded into the red, though,,,,,,


And another headline today:

BCHB overtakes Citigroup among world’s top
banks
KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 —Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings Bhd has overtaken Citigroup Inc, the US bank which was once the world’s biggest bank, by market value, according to a Bloomberg report.
Bloomberg said that Citigroup fell as low as 97 US cents (RM3.60) in New York Stock
Exchange composite trading before closing at US$1.02, marking an 85 per cent decline this
year and giving the New York-based company a market value of US$5.7 billion.
Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings Bhd's market capitalisation as of today is RM22.2 billion
while its assets are valued at RM210 billion.
Based on data compiled by Bloomberg on the American bank, Citigroup Inc's market value
dropped below US$1 in New York trading for the first time as investors lost confidence the
shares can recover after more than US$37.5 billion in losses and a government rescue.
At its peak in late 2006, Citigroup stock was worth US$55.70, for a market value of
US$277.2 billion.


people, let's launch a takeover of citigroup.

Yet another crap

It's endless. Yet another embarassing and blood numbing development in the silver state.

The silver state pakatan rakyat will be filing a suit at the KL High Court to stop the silver state legal adviser from representing the silver state assemply speaker in the High Court.

What a childish endless drama. Dumbstruck.

STOP IT

TO ALL POLITICIANS, STOP ALL THE CRAP !

To:
Nizar Jamaluddin
Ngeh Koo Ham
Nga Kor Ming
All the rest of Pakatan gang
Dr Zambry
All the rest of BN gang
And ALL the politicians out there

Please stop the crap. We are sick and tired of the shows that all of you are putting up. Just like the rest of the world, this country is going through the worst economic crisis ever but you people are in the meantime, acting numb to the situation. What are you people? Animals? Even animals have feelings for each other. Animals are sensitive too to their own species. Animals know how and when to act and react. What are you people? Retarded? Even retards have emotions. Retards have feelings too. What are you people?

To me and every other God fearing citizens of this nation, all you people are sick, sick and sick. You have sinned against your own gods by foresaking your responsibilities towards the people that voted you in to take care of our plights and interest. After we voted you in, you have taken oath to do your best for the state, for the country, for the people. But just take a step back and look at what you are doing now. You have sinned. And I wonder how you live with the conscience of having sinned and still sinning. We are dumbstruck.

If you care to listen for just a moment, we say it loud and clear: PLEASE STOP IT. FAHAM ??? Period.

The pokok assembly

The country today saw an unprecedented, uncharted history being made. Definitely a record at all levels. A state assembly was convened in the shade of a tree.

What a malaysian politics has this become. Very childish, cartoonic, simply out of this world. Huh what, cant hear you - uhh, yes, very childish political game being played out in the open.

It is sickening, very sickening, very embarassing, and very worrying too to have all these games reaching this level. In as much as I would not support a street demonstration by anyone, it would be very hard to resist any efforts and attempts now for people to go out to the streets. Temper is rising, high and fast.
