Once upon a time, there was a Malaysian student who got a scholarship to study in UK.
Within
a month, this young Malaysian student on his first visit to London,
locates the red light district and enters a large brothel.
The
madam asks him to be seated and sends over a young lady to entertain
the client.
They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap.
They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap.
He whispers in her ear
and she gasps and runs away! Seeing this, the madam sends over a more
experienced lady to entertain the gentleman.
They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap.
He whispers in her ear and she screams, “No!” and walks away quickly.
The
madam is surprised that this ordinary-looking man has asked for
something so outrageous that her two girls will have nothing to do with
it.
She decides that only her most experienced lady, Lola, will do.
Lola looks a bit tired, but she has never said no and it doesn’t seem likely that anything would surprise her.
So the madam sends her over to the Malaysian student.
They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap.
He whispers in her ear and she screams, “NO WAY, BUDDY!”, smacks him as hard as she can, and literally runs away too!
Madam is by now absolutely intrigued, having seen nothing like this in all her years of operating a brothel.
She hasn’t done the bedroom work herself for a long time, but she did it for many years before she got into management.
She’s sure she has said yes at one time or another to everything a man could possibly ask for.
The challenge is irresistible.She just has to find out what this man wants that has made her girls so angry.
And she sees a chance she can’t pass up to show off to her employees how good she was at what they do.
So
she goes over to the Malaysian student and says that she’s the best in
the house and she, herself, is available.
She sits and talks with him.
They frolic a bit,giggle a bit, drink a little, and she sits in his lap.
And then the Malaysian student leans forward and whispers in her ear ….
…….“CAN I PAY IN MALAYSIAN RINGGIT?”

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6, 2015:The ringgit has continued to slide against the US dollar to close at 3.9005/8035 today.
Sentiment towards emerging Asian
currencies deteriorated in the last two weeks, a Reuters poll showed
today, as expectations grew that the US Federal Reserve will begin
raising interest rates in September.
Short positions on the ringgit hit the
largest since early January as the country’s political crisis deepened,
according to the survey of 22 fund managers, currency traders and
analysts conducted between Tuesday and today.
The ringgit fell to a level last seen
during the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis, when the country subsequently
pegged it to RM3.80 to the US dollar.

Malaysian anti-corruption body points to $US700m in PM Najib Razak’s accounts
Date :August 5, 2015
Kuala Lumpur: A political storm around Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak has taken a new twist as the country’s anti-corruption body confirmed that almost $US700 million ($962 million) had been deposited into his personal bank account.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said in a written statement the money was a “donor’s contribution” but did not reveal who the donor was nor its purpose.
The commission said the money was not from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), a state investment fund headed by Mr Najib that is $US11 billion in debt and the subject of several investigations in Kuala Lumpur.
Earlier the fund denied transferring money to the Prime Minister.
Mr Najib has threatened to sue the Wall Street Journal over a July 2 report that claimed Malaysian investigators had traced almost $US700 million of deposits into what investigators believed were Mr Najib’s personal bank accounts after the movement of cash among agencies, banks and companies linked to the fund.
The newspaper reported that the original source of the money was unclear.
Mr Najib, who has denied taking any money for personal gain, made no comment on the commission’s statement.
Allegations swirling around 1MDB are the biggest threat to Mr Najib’s credibility since he took office in 2009 and have bitterly divided his long-ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO).
The Prime Minister has refused to resign pending the outcome of the investigations, saying the allegations are part of a malicious campaign to force him from office.
Last week Mr Najib dismissed four ministers and his deputy prime minister who had urged him to respond to the allegations involving the fund. He reshuffled his cabinet in a bid to shore up support.
At the same time, authorities in Kuala Lumpur have widened a crackdown on Mr Najib’s critics, forcing the shutdown of newspapers and arresting several dozen people.
Several UMNO officials suggested recently that, as party president, Mr Najib is authorised to handle political donations.
But former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, who has led calls for Mr Najib’s resignation, wrote in his blog on Monday that hundreds of millions of dollars seemed far more than necessary for any campaign expenses.
Dr Mahathir said when he was prime minister he never had election funds deposited into his personal accounts.
The anti-corruption body said it has referred its findings to the Attorney-General and urged people to be patient while investigations continue.

As a normal Malaysian, I feel tired and sick with what happens.
That's all.
Enjoy.
