Oops..taxpayers...

I found this article interesting when I browse through The Star online...

...I forgot to pay duty, says politician....

ALOR STAR: “Oops, I forgot.”

This is the excuse given by one of the prominent politicians who have flouted Customs regulations by using a duty-free Nissan van on the mainland without paying duties.

“A Customs officer did remind me sometime this year to settle the duty by end of this year but I forgot. Thank you for reminding me,” said the politician when contacted yesterday.

The politician took the duty-free van from Langkawi about nine years ago. He said the van was actually used by the spouse for commercial purposes. The van needed to be overhauled several years ago and was sent to the workshop for repairs.

“However, many of the car parts were stolen and as such we had left it in the workshop for years,” she said.

The politician promised to send a letter to the Customs department soon to resolve the matter amicably.

“I will pay the duty,” he said.

Another prominent politician who was implicated said he had submitted a letter to the Customs director-general stating his intention of paying duty and keeping the duty-free Harley Davidson.

It was reported in The Star on Monday that two prominent politicians were among several VVIPs who have yet to pay duty after the vehicles were taken out of the duty-free island.

They are among the 79 people who have breached Clause 21 (1) of the Customs Duty Order (Exemption) 1988 by keeping vehicles away from the duty-free island for more than a month in a year.

So what do you think?
I wonder how I wonder why.. How to oops forgot to pay tax...hmmph think think think...

Restaurant Wong Soon Kee, SS14

IT was a rainy Sunday when we drove to Mangkee's house at SS14. We decided to pit stop at Restaurant Wong Soon Kee, SS14 to "tapao" our late lunch at Lim Fried Chicken. 1st time for me though.. OMG the Q si-beh long and it's only selling Fried Chick, Nasi Lemak and Curry Chee Cheong Fun. Mangkee gave up Q-ing up but I told him I'll Q instead. As am Q-ing up for the food, I "kay poh-ly" snapped some pics to update in the blog. HuaaWaaa.. I telling you ah.. people behind me must have thought something wrong with me. Anyway, enjoy the pics. Err..forgot to ask about their biz operation day but they starts to sell during lunch hour. Besides Lim Fried Chicken, there's Wan Tan Mee, Beef noodles, Char Kuey Teow, Yee Mee & Pan Mee. According to SS14 resident, Mr. Mangkee "Pan Mee not so nice, Yee Mee ok-lah, Char Kuey Teow ok-ok, Lim Fried Chicken, Wan Tan Mee (see told you guys oredi, he sure said this one da bomb, favourite mah hahaha) & Beef noodles da bomb"

My foodie goodie rate: 8/10
(I think their Nasi Lemak could be better if they add in coconut milk-
Actually theirs is just white rice..)

Coda my boy



This is my boy Coda... Ain't he cute? He is 3yrs 2months now... Initially, I wanted to bring him to stay with me when I moved out from my parents. BUT my sis wanted to keep him as a guard dog. Well, I gotta admit he's good in this. The moment he sense stranger ; he will bark as loud as he can. He's alert but sometimes might be false alarm lah. He don't like cats and 1 stray dog near my house. he! he!

Not sure where Coda learns how to tell us when he's hungry, but he just will. Yes, he's also greedy boy~he likes KFC~ I used to give him 1pc but not anymore. Now he will just come to us whenever we have food on our hand. He skip taking dog food for 1yr but thank god he changed his mind last year. Well..with one requirement, must have fresh milk in the food. Else he will sniff and walk off.



Coda has to keep his fur short too. Why? Because mama said so. Gotta let him know in advance before I botak him, else he will show face. See the pic? Don't know where he learn the mulut senget pose. ha! ha! But sometimes he will give signal that he's very hot and want to be botak-ed. Well that's all about my boy..

Last stopped was "sei-ngan-chai" (4-eyed guy) roast duck. We "tapao-ed". This is a must try if you're a duck lover.. the duck meat was tender & juicy..yummy! yummy! According to me mama, years back there were few stalls at the same area selling roast duck and in the end all close shop because the crowd preferred "sei-ngan-chai". RM38/duck & RM19 for 1/2 duck.

P/s: Senapang the tuna-sing, the dim sum blog will be up later.

cina satu, pentagon telur...

Today kaypo on techie news,

Cina military kasi hantam to pentagon, cyberly~

The Chinese military hacked into a Pentagon computer network in June in the most successful cyber attack on the US defence department, say American ­officials.The Pentagon acknowledged shutting down part of a computer system serving the office of Robert Gates, defence secretary, but declined to say who it believed was behind the attack.
(finally the americans are admitting that their fort knox is not the stronghold anymore,bo-hoo-hooo)

Hackers from numerous locations in China spent several months probing the Pentagon system before overcoming its defences, according to people familiar with the matter.
(sys admins too busy buaya-ing no time tengok logs leh)
kakaak

cover up time,

The Pentagon is still investigating how much data was downloaded, but one person with knowledge of the attack said most of the information was probably “unclassified”. He said the event had forced officials to reconsider the kind of information they send over unsecured e-mail systems.

John Hamre, a Clinton-era deputy defence secretary involved with cyber security, said that while he had no knowledge of the June attack, criminal groups sometimes masked cyber attacks to make it appear they came from government computers in a particular country.

The National Security Council said the White House had created a team of experts to consider whether the administration needed to restrict the use of BlackBerries because of concerns about cyber espionage.
