Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!



Come 31st August, Malaysians will be celebrating their Independence Day.

I thank God for that. Not every humanoids on the face of this earth know the true meaning of the word "independence."

So many are still yearning for that moment, we should be grateful having achieved ours, over 50 years ago, now.

Blood was even spilled, and civil wars erupted all in the name of achieving that elusive freedom for some, all in the name of INDEPENDENCE!

Spare a moment this season won't you my friends, pondering what might have been should you are re-located to another country rather than Malaysia?

Ours may not necessary like a "land of milk and honey" but quite near to that term.

Value your FREEDOM. What more could a man ask ???

English Premier League kicks off !!


(Berbatov on the ball)

Somehow, without Ronaldo & Tevez, MU still won their 1st game.

It made us so proud, associating ourselves with this historic Club.

Their achievements on the playing field are hard for any Teams in the English League to emulate, and I think this Season 2009-2010 will see many "pretenders" trying to topple them from their regular Top Spot!

Arsenal won handsomely, Chelsea won not too convincingly, BUT Liverpool started its campaign on the wrong track. Liverpool lost at Tottenham Hotspur and Mr.Benitez is very, very angry about the game, and how the game was handled by the match Officials.

Well, that is part and parcel of the game. A split second decision maybe enough to destroy somebody's title hope and dreams!

This Season, I predict Arsenal to be amongst the frontrunners, maybe Chelsea will provide a close fight.

It's going to be a frantic finish to the end, Man United as Champs, Arsenal, Chelsea perhaps Liverpool in that order till the end of the Season.

So, you may not agree with me, but that's the way it should be come Season end.

Please share your thoughts with me on this.

Perodua MPV D46T




COMING in November of 2009?

Not many months left before we witness another MPV taking to our roads.

Its upcoming Perodua D46T 7-seater MPV is based on the Toyota Passo Sette.

The front end features a new grille that very much reminds me of the one found on the Perodua Nautica. Perodua has also changed the shape of the headlamps. The Passo Sette and Boon Luminas versions sold in Japan feature headlamps that have a straight bottom design but Perodua’s cuts upwards towards the outer edge of the car.

The bumper features a wide central air intake flanked by two large round foglamps. In a way, Perodua’s design has all the design cues to look relatively more sporty than the more conservative standard Toyota bodykit in comparison, but there are some optional bodykits on the Japanese versions that look way more aggressive than Perodua’s take on the Passo Sette.


Its likely to be powered by a 1.5 liter DVVT engine with front wheel drive.

2009 BMW X6




BMW has never been shy about inventing new vehicle categories out of thin air.
The X6 has a coupelike fastback roof line, so that will have to be justification enough for calling it a sports activity coupe.
And it's backed up by a twin-turbo, 400-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 and a twin-turbo, 300-hp 3.0-liter inline-6.

CHARITY SHIELD: Chelsea 2 - 2 Manchester United

09th August 2009


Goalkeeper Petr Cech was the Chelsea hero as Carlo Ancelotti's side beat Manchester United 4-1 in a penalty shoot-out to win the Community Shield after a 2-2 draw at Wembley.

The match finished level at full-time thanks to Wayne Rooney's late leveller, but Chelsea's second goal had sparked controversy.

* Fergie: Ballack should have seen red

Chelsea substitute Michael Ballack appeared to elbow Patrice Evra, but while the French left-back lay hurt on the ground referee Chris Foy allowed play to continue.

Chelsea's Didier Drogba broke clear of the United defence before slipping the ball to Frank Lampard to fire the Blues ahead.

Evra then had to be kept apart from Ballack and was booked for a cynical foul on the Germany captain in the 80th minute.

But with Chelsea heading for victory, Rooney broke clear to level the scores in the final minute and take the game to penalties.

Cech then saved from substitute Ryan Giggs and the luckless Evra, to earn Chelsea a 4-1 victory on spot-kicks.

In contrast to the ill-feeling in the later stages of the contest, the afternoon had begun in a more fitting fashion with one minute's applause for the late Sir Bobby Robson.

When the action began on the pitch, United goalkeeper Ben Foster was tested within the opening two minutes.

Drogba collected a pass from Lampard and fired a 20-yard shot towards goal but Foster, selected in the England squad for Wednesday's friendly against Holland, saved at the second attempt.

It was a bright start by Chelsea who almost went ahead in the fifth minute.

Lampard's corner was met by right-back Branislav Ivanovic whose effort was headed against the bar by Evra.

United took the lead with their first real attack of the game in the 10th minute.

Darren Fletcher's sublime cross-field pass was collected by Nani and the Portugal winger beat Ivanovic and Michael Essien before sending a 25-yard drive beyond Cech and into the far right corner.

United should have made it 2-0 in the 16th minute when Dimitar Berbatov crossed for Rooney to head the ball back to Park Ji-Sung on the edge of the six-yard box.

Park was thwarted by a great save from Cech, and the Chelsea goalkeeper then pulled off another fine save moments later when the South Korean midfielder set Berbatov through on goal.

Chelsea were beginning to exert some control as the interval approached but they failed to find a cutting edge.

That lack of precision was underlined again five minutes before the break when Nicolas Anelka sent a drive just wide of Foster's left-hand post.

A cross from Ivanovic moments later failed to trouble Foster even through Drogba lurked with intent.

Three minutes before the break Cech had to be at his best again to tip a 20-yard shot from Fletcher over the bar.

Chelsea replaced the struggling Ivanovic with Jose Bosingwa at the start of the second half, and equalised in the 52nd minute through Ricardo Carvalho's diving header.

Lampard and Florent Malouda had combined on the left and when the winger sent over a volleyed cross, Drogba and Foster collided as they went for the ball.

Foster's attempted clearance fell straight to Carvalho who dived to head the Blues level from eight yards.

Chelsea were full of confidence and Anelka soon tested Foster with a powerful 20-yard drive that the United goalkeeper did well to push away to safety.

In the 59th minute Drogba was inches away from meeting a cross from Ashley Cole as Ancelotti's side continued to control the game.

United were rocked by an injury to goalscorer Nani on the hour. The winger hurt his shoulder in a clash with John Terry and was replaced by Antonio Valencia.

Three minutes later Chelsea replaced John Mikel Obi with Germany captain Ballack.

The London outfit took the lead in controversial circumstances in the 70th minute after Ballack appeared to elbow Evra.

While the United player was down Chelsea broke away and Drogba's pass to Lampard allowed the England midfielder space to beat Foster with a crisp drive. The ball struck the inside of the left post and bounced over the line before spinning back out, however it was clearly a legitimate goal.

With seconds remaining Rooney broke clear of the Chelsea defence and slipped the ball beyond Cech for a dramatic equaliser, but United were not so clinical in the shoot-out.

Fergie: Ballack should have seen red

After the match Sir Alex Ferguson criticised referee Chris Foy and claimed Michael Ballack should have been sent off.

"I think the referee has made a rod for his own back," said the United boss. "He stopped the game twice, first when Nani was down, then on the second occasion Ballack has gone down, which we have seen before with him.

"I asked the referee, he said he thought it was a serious incident, and he thought the player needed treatment, whereas he [Ballack] was up right away.

"Once he has done that, I do not understand why he has not stopped the game when Evra is lying down?

"With a replay you can see Ballack has elbowed the boy, and if the referee had seen it properly, it is a red card.

"The referee is in line with it, and should have at least stopped the game, but he did not.

"Of course, then they went on and scored the second goal. It is hard to blame the Chelsea players, because it is a professional game.

"But it is making it very difficult for referees [to know] when players are acting to get the game stopped.

"It is an area I am concerned about and we have got to find a solution to that part."

Ferguson continued: "If we are putting the responsibility back on the referees and they are deciding when the games should be stopped, then fine.

"He has got to be correct in that respect. As we saw today, he never got it quite right. You have to be consistent."

Portugal midfielder Nani impressed, but Ferguson revealed he could now be set for a spell on the sidelines.

"We could not put the shoulder back in, so that is the worrying part for us," said Ferguson, who has had to reshape his attack following the summer departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.

"He had done very well, and we are very pleased with his performance."

United goalkeeper Foster, 26, was standing in for injured Edwin van der Sar, but did not enjoy the best of afternoons and let Lampard's shot through his gloves for Chelsea's second goal.

Ferguson, though, has every confidence in the England stopper, who is likely to face Holland in next week's friendly.

"Knowing Ben and the ability which he has, he should have done better with the second goal," said the United boss.

"However, it was his first big challenge.

"He has waited a long time, has had his injuries, and in pre-season I spread the load between the three 'keepers, and maybe we did not have enough minutes for him.

"But the important thing is, knowing his ability, it means I do not have any worries about him."

Ferguson felt United should have put the game beyond Chelsea following their dominant first half, with defender Ricardo Carvalho eventually pulling the FA Cup winners back in it on 52 minutes.

"We should really have put the game to bed," he said.

"The equaliser really knocked us back, and at that point Chelsea were the better team.

"The second goal was the deciding factor."

Ferguson added: "We should have been three or four goals up. When you get chances in big matches and do not take them, you can suffer and we did today."

For new Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti, it was a first piece of silverware in English football.

The Italian coach made several tactical changes during the second half, which paid off.

"We found it difficult, but we were better in the second half when we put more strength on the pitch. In the end, we deserved to win," Ancelotti said.

"It was an important start to the season and now we have to continue to work and improve.

"I like the mental attitude of the players and the organisation of the club.

"We are now ready to start a very important season and want to do the best.

"This result is important because it proves our possibilities."

On the controversy in the build-up to the second goal, the Chelsea manager said: "The referee can stop the play and also the players can put the ball out.

"However, for sure they did not see Evra down on the pitch, because a Chelsea player would put the ball out if they saw an opponent down."

Source: ESPN Soccernet


This is a "curtain raiser" before the Premier League begins. Manchester United lost Cristiano Ronaldo & Carlos Tevez before this campaign, and the impact is already seen through the results.

We know this match is for charity purposes, but the players I'm sure are not charitable being a highly paid entertainers and professionals.

I was a bit disappointed by the results but I have always respected Chelsea with their galaxy of stars.

I hope Sir Alex will do act soon to stop more poor results like these which is not good for the players' morale in the long run-up to the Championship.

Toyota Prius (2010)




This NEW "hybrid" model from Toyota, should tempt many of us to change our old "workhorse" for something that is NEWest in Town!!

Though costly, costing well over RM160k locally, but still this model should be able to attract its own "followers" soon.

Just introduced in Malaysia, maybe its still not available in Sarawak just yet,unless Bookings has been made during the launching.

So folks, any takers?

PUSPAKOM, Jalan Pending



We were there last week. This is also an integral part of our services at Merekah Fajar Sdn.Bhd.

After spending about an hour, the process was done.

We got what we came for, the "results slip" given by PUSPAKOM is a very important
document when you're dealing with Used cars.

Before the car can exchange hands, (rather,ownership) this is the 1st Step to take.

We usually act on behalf of our customers, and we seldom engage a 2nd person (a runner) to do the job on our behalf. The runner charges RM120-150 for the services rendered.

You could spend half of your precious day if there is a large crowd gathering there.

Luckily for MFSB, we have 2 of our ex-colleagues working for PUSPAKOM and they are a great help to our establishment.

Folks, if you need us to help you get the job done, don't hesitate to call anyone of us.

We are ready to provide you our service at a reasonble cost.
