'Sultan' Zulhasnan, the RM700 million man
Posted by Raja Petra
Tuesday, 05 February 2008

Zulhasnan has manipulated RM700 million worth of government contracts in Kuala Lumpur and has given them to his friends and cronies. The Umno division leaders of Segambut, Seputeh, Bukit Bintang and Kepong have all benefited from Zulhasnan's patronage. Ali Baba had his 40 thieves. Zulhasnan has his four.

Our Comment:

Since yesterday, every time we tried to comment in Malaysia Today, we get the message “You must be logged in to a comment. Please register if you do not have an account yet.”, whereas we have already logged in. Either M-T’s content management software is lousy or M-T is moderating our comments again (hiding behind the curtain). So, rather than condemning M-T (as previously stated), starting today, this is the method that we will use to comment on the various current affairs that may concern us all. M-T can remove us from being a member immediate.

The following is the comment that we wanted to post but could not get through:

“Thanks for the name, Pete. We’ll add him in our C-List by today. If you have the other 4 names the better.

Sorry, we were not well prepared then. We can tell the Police Force if all the organized crime syndicates and communists in Malaysia were to unite against a handful of us, they still cannot defeat us. So, you now know what we mean by well prepared.

Also, we can ask the Police Force the question: what are they waiting for? Start eradicating these organized crime syndicates and their accomplices. Or else, someone else will.

Best Regards.........

In our previous post we have brought forth the goodness of Yerba Mate from Argentina. In this article, we would like to reveal the goodness of Guarana from Brazil which functions as a compliment to Yerba Mate. With these 2 health products, a normal healthy human being should be able to safeguard his/her health to the optimum. It is our intention to recommend this health maintenance approach to the citizens of Malaysia as an alternative to what they are currently used to. A healthy population leads to a healthy nation to come.

As a Muslim, we believe that our life span has been destined. We hope that with our dedicated pro-active efforts in safeguarding our health may coincide with our destiny always.


The physical appearance of the plant is as depicted above. Its scientific name is Guarana Paullinia Cupana. It originates from the world’s largest forest – the Amazon forest of Brazil. It is a natural stimulant to strengthen the health of the body. However, it is non-addictive in anyway. The goodness of this plant is well known for centuries to the Maues Indians of the Amazon as a source of vigor, longevity and fertility. The Guarana is normally consumed in the form of carbonated soft drinks or in capsulated powder form. The medicinal extracts are taken from the Guarana seeds only.

REAL NATURAL HEALTHY BEVERAGE YERBA MATE FROM ARGENTINA

Medical experts from all over the world further discussed the lesson why the main meat consuming people, Argentinians, who lack the balance of vegetables, yet their blood contents still are the first in the world. The citizens there do not suffer from blood diseases, paralysis or anyone suffering from diabetes. Despite of that, they are more energetic and of high spirit as well as having perfect nutrition. Further research done by medical experts has found that every Argentinian has the habit of long-term drinking Patagonia Yerba Mate.

The secret behind Argentinian health is announced for the first time.

Let’s listen to foreign experts confirmation regarding Patagonia Yerba Mate.

It can get rid of excessive bile secretion, resist diseases, control diabetes, hasten blood circulation, ease urination, stimulate heart, brain and body mechanisms. It also can eradicate fatigue and maintain high spirit.

UNDERSTANDING 2 MAJOR DISEASES

High Blood Pressure – The Silent Killer

· High blood pressure is a condition where our body’s blood pressure rises and stays high even when we are resting

· Blood pressure rises when the density of the blood increases (due to over consumption of salt) or if the blood vessels are clogged (due to high levels of cholesterol) or the heart needs to pump more blood (due to obesity)

· If untreated, it can also cause a heart attack, impaired vision and kidney failure

· High blood pressure does not occur spontaneously but gradually

· High blood pressure does not have any specific signs or symptoms

· High blood pressure does not have a cure. It can only be controlled

Cancer – Major Killer
