Recently I came across a statement by a mufti (mufti (Arabic: مفتى) is an Islamic scholar who is an interpreter or expounder of Islamic law (Sharia), capable of issuing fatwa) that men could still watch women athletes as long as they are dressed decently. Why this statement arose?
PAS, an Islamic political party in Malaysia, was organising a Malaysian All-Women Games this coming weekend. The PAS's state women and sports committee chairman Abdul Fatah Mahmood mentioned that men can only attend the opening ceremony but NOT the individual sporting events. Did I read it wrongly or did the press published the wrong words? (source: The Star)
I can bet for sure that the attendance for the sporting events will be real bad. I wonder how is PAS going to re-coup the money dumped into organising this sporting events then if the ticket sales are restricted to women only. Most women are either housewives or working mothers and do you think they will take time off to watch a local women-only sporting events. I'm not against PAS's view to ensure that men don't lust by watching women participating in sports. Maybe they can implement a new competition ruling that women athletes must wear certain sporting outfits rather than prohibiting men from viewing the sporting events.
I joked with my malay colleague that he would be barred from watching the following women's sporting events in the coming Beijing 2008 Olympic Games:-
1) Synchronised Swimming, Water Polo, Swimming & Diving;
2) Volleyball
3) Athletics
4) Cycling
5) Gymnastics
6) Tennis
7) Rowing
and especially 8) Beach Volleyball
To which he responded "Only can watch Archery then? Anyway, for a mufti to have said something, it's a very strong issue already"
I'm wondering whether it's intended as a sporting event or a way to tell muslims that PAS is very pious with some subliminal message too. But kudos to PAS for taking the effort in trying to organise such an event. Seriously speaking, how did they picked the participating athletes? From which qualifying events? Please enlighten me.

In Kuala Lumpur Now
Arrived in the afternoon on 14 Feb and knocked off early in the night due to insufficient rest during the long journey from Khartoum, Sudan. As I was travelling in the limousine taxi back home (45 minutes journey), had a chit chat with the taxi driver.
Following are some of the conversation:-
Q: How's your business lately?
A: Just have to work starting early in the morning till evening. No choice as I have to pay off the daily taxi rental.
Q: I think this year should be good as it's Visit Malaysia Year 2007.
A: I doubted it. Already mid Feb, we don't see many visitors coming in. Most who came into Kuala Lumpur (with the main international airport here) are here for short business trips. It's the same as previous year. I have to wait for almost an hour under the queueing system for taxis at the airport before it came to my turn to pick you up. I can only do up to 5 or 6 trips per day with all those waitings. If there were a lot of tourists, we would only queue for a short while instead of almost 1 hour each time.
Q: Maybe the tourists won't come this early part of the year.
A: Well, even if they were to come, it would only be once as frankly speaking, what are there to see in Kuala Lumpur. I have heard from tourists who were caught in vice-raids on discos & night clubs in Kuala Lumpur. People would rather go to Thailand and Singapore for such night life then. Some African tourists were asked to identify themselves in broad daylight. What do you think they will tell their friends back home? The government is only trying so hard to get people come for 1 year but not long term.
When I dropped passengers at city centre hotels, I noticed the double-decker bus meant for tourists was only filled with about 5 to 8 people. You can tell from all this whether it's successful or not.
Q: Would you be going for your break during the coming Chinese New Year ("CNY") holidays?
A: Can't afford it. Have to work hard to cover daily expenses which are rising everywhere. Not so much of a CNY for me if there is no money. Not that money is everything but my family needs money. The festival is there but I don't come from a well-to-do background so I have to work hard to ensure the festival is liven up with some extra cash. For the rich ones, everyday is a CNY.
These were the words of a normal citizen, trying to survive in the capital city where his brain was not influenced by any political parties.

News on EPF Nominations/Beneficiary List (II)
This is an important reminder on EPF beneficiaries. Kindly forward to your friends especially the Non-Bumi. Make sure they do the necessary to name their beneficiaries. Be a help and pass this info to all your friends. It pays not to be ignorant. Please read on and do take the appropriate action of naming your EPF beneficiaries or updating your nomination:
1) Scenario, imagine this:
A EPF contributor with a non-working wife and 3 school-going children. He died unexpectedly of a heart attack. He has been contributing to the EPF since he started work as an engineer about 25 years ago and have a sizeable amount of savings. However, the widow approaches the EPF for the savings she is informed that he had named his 1st girlfriend as the beneficiary and never got to update his nomination. Therefore, the widow is not entitled to a cent of the money even you have a will.
(In case of Muslims, there is still recourse under the Syariah Laws)
For Non-Muslims, however, there is real concern that your life-long savings may not reach your dependants.) The above scenario may seem unlikely to you but such cases are very common.
2) Findings of the EPF
Many EPF contributors either do not name any beneficiary or else fail to update their nomination as conditions warrant. As it stands, about 76% of EPF's 8.51 million members have not made any nomination. And out of the 24% who have, many have not updated their nomination. All your savings and the dividends accumulated over the years may not go to those who need it the most if you do not name a beneficiary or do not update your nomination.
What happens if:-
a) Failure to make a nomination.
If an EPF member has not made any nomination, his savings will be distributed in accordance to the law.
Letters of Administration (LA)
In general, when no nominee is named, the member's family will have to produce what is known as LA and submit this to the EPF in order to withdraw the savings. (The LA authorises the person appointed to act as administrator of the estate of the deceased member. This involves employing the services of a lawyer who will make the relevant petitions to court to get the LA. The whole process takes 8 to 12 months or longer if more than one person decides to obtain the LA).
Grant of Probate (Probate)
If the member had made a will, the member's family will have to produce what is known as Probate and submit this to the EPF.(The Probate is an authorisation by the court to the executor named in the will to administer the distribution of the estate of the deceased member).
a) Distribution Order
If the money in question does not exceed RM600,000 (and there is no land involved), the family of the deceased can then approach the Public Trustee (Amanah Raya)! to obtain a Distribution Order.
b) Consequence of failing to update nomination If the member does not update his nomination, whoever the EPF contributor has named as his or the beneficiary in the Form KWSP 4 (AHL) will receive the member's entire savings. Therefore, the spouse and family of the deceased will receive nothing if the contributor has named someone else, his friend, as his EPF beneficiary. This friend will inherit his savings even if the contributor had named his spouse and children as beneficiaries to his property, including his EPF savings, in a will is made after the EPF
nomination.
c) Muslim contributors
They are governed by the inheritance regulations under the Syariah Laws. The term "beneficiary" does not apply to the person nominated by a muslim. The nominee in effect only acts as an executor(wasi) of the contributor's savings. Upon the contributor's death, this executor has a duty to distribute the deceased's property in accordance with Faraid (inheritance) Laws.
3) How does one make a nomination or update a previous one?
You can do it by completing the Form KWSP 4 (AHL) which can be obtained at the EPF offices. You have to fill in a new KWSP 4 with the name of the person you now want to inherit your EPF savings. The new form will automatically cancel your previous nomination...... The advantages of naming a beneficiary and keeping this nomination updated are enormous. It not only ensure that your savings will go to those who need it most, but also guarantees speedy payment to your loved ones in such a time of need. If all the documents are in order, your nominee will get your EPF savings in about a month.

World's Tallest Roses
With Valentine's Day being a day away, hotels/restaurants/florists in the whole world are capitalising on the commercial aspect of it. Wonder how your loved ones will feel if she was to receive the world's tallest roses as her gift for the day.
The roses could be imported from the country of Ecuador due to their type of land, mixture of good soil and volcanic waste as well. Cost of buying it is US$250 per dozen (excluding despatch charges which will cost a bomb). Some of you may be willing to spend that money to impress your wife or to propose at the same time to your girlfriend. Some may take the time to win the heart of his dream girl.
Maybe I'm a bit too late in posting about this roses as the shop, Organic Bouquet, that is selling this has this statement in their website today:-
NOTE: due to high demand and limited supply, your preferred delivery date may not be available. Please call 877-899-2468 to be placed on a waiting list. Additional roses are becoming available each day and will be released on a first come first serve basis.
More about the world's tallest roses.
How will you react if you were to receive a Valentine's Day's card displayed on the left?
If you are lost on ideas, you can view various ideas that people have in their mind for an ideal Valentine's Day.

News on EPF Nominations/Beneficiary List
Some people might be wondering why did Employees Provident Fund issued this statement today:-
"EPF still maintains all nominations on record"
The Employees Provident Fund (EPF), which is updating its nominations record system, said all nominations made by its members for their EPF savings are still maintained on record. (source: The Edge Daily)
EPF has also clarified the situation in their own website to allay public fears. Who doesn't fear when 23% (11% by employee and 12% by employer) of your salary goes into it every month. I'm very sure that something BIG has gone very wrong this time if not EPF wouldn't have publicised such statement everywhere.
EPF's website (in Malay language or you can view it under the English version too):-
KWSP Perjelas Isu Penamaan
Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) ingin menjelaskan bahawa penamaan yang telah dibuat oleh ahli terhadap simpanan mereka masih ada dalam rekod KWSP.
Penjelasan ini dibuat berikutan timbul kekeliruan apabila ahli menyemak status penamaan mereka di kaunter KWSP atau melalui penyata kira-kira yang diperolehi pada tahun ini dan mendapati tiada rekod penamaan yang dicatatkan.
I have received an email (posted below) 3 days ago on this matter as well where a couple saw their beneficiary list being wiped off from EPF's records. Did plan to drop by at EPF to check on my records too to ensure it's proper and the same as what I wanted. Just in case. I'm sure there are many more 'victims' but most people won't check on it thinking that it's safe. Remember, EPF is still government owned and lackadaisical attitude is still prevailing in government offices. Wonder who can verify that EPF is really in the midst of updating their records that caused all this 'disappearance of records'.

(pls provide info on other EPF offices if you knew under the Comments section)
Pass around my blog website address (http://johnny-ong.blogspot.com) to all your family members, relatives & friends so that they can read about this issue and know what's happening.
Will post tomorrow on the consequences if you fail to have a proper nominations/beneficiary list if you pass away. And if this did happen to you, kindly comment and share with us what happened and the remedy.

Farmer John and His Chickens
Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic built up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day.
So one day Farmer John called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens."
"What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff. "I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!" So the next day he had the county workers go out and erected a sign that said:
SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING
Three days later Farmer John called the sheriff and said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The 'school crossing' s! ign s eems to make them go even faster." So, again, the sheriff sends out the county workers and they put up a new sign: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY
That really sped them up. So Farmer John called and called and called every day for three weeks. Finally, he asked the sheriff, "Your signs are doing no good. Can I put up my own sign?" The sheriff told him, "Sure thing, put up your own sign." He was going to let the Farmer John do just about anything in order to get him to stop calling everyday to complain.
The sheriff got no more calls from Farmer John. Three weeks later, curiosity go the best of the sheriff and he decided to give Farmer John a call. "How's the problem with those drivers. Did you put up your sign?" "Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since then. I've got to! go. I'm very busy." He hung up the phone.
The sheriff was really curious now and he thought to himself, "I'd better go out there and take a look at that sign... it might be something that WE could use to slow down drivers..."
So the sheriff drove out to Farmer John's house, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign. It was spray-painted on a sheet of wood: NUDIST COLONY! Go slow and watch out for chicks!!
