THE ISREALI PRIME MINISTER'S SECRET VISIT TO THE UAE LAST SATURDAY - CURTAINS COMING DOWN ON IRAN

 

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's UAE trip took place on Sunday, 27 September 2026. He flew secretly to Abu Dhabi and met UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ). The UAE confirmed the meeting through its state news agency, WAM. 

The Israeli delegation

The Netanyahu delegation was made up of:
Benjamin Netanyahu — Prime Minister
Sara Netanyahu — his wife
Roman Gofman — Director of Mossad
Shmuel Ben-Ezra — head of Israel's National Security Council
Maj. Gen. Guy Markizano — Netanyahu's Military Secretary
Ophir Falk — Netanyahu's Foreign Policy Adviser
The PMO also said the delegation included security personnel and the head of the Shin Bet security division. 

The Arab side

An expanded meeting took place with the Israeli delegation involving representatives of several Arab/Gulf countries.  Besides the UAE, the other countries reported include:  Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan, Libya,  Qatar.   An Emirati source gave a longer list including:  United States, Egypt, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman. That is TWELVE countries including Israel.

The reports say the expanded meeting concerned Iran, the Houthis, intelligence/security cooperation and assistance to Saudi Arabia, and the possibility of a regional defence framework. 

A Libyan Airbus A319 associated with Saddam Haftar, the son of eastern Libyan commander Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, flew from Benghazi to Abu Dhabi during Netanyahu's visit.

All the foreign visitors landed at the Al Bateen Executive Airport (Al Bateen Executive Airport), Abu Dhabi. Flight-tracking reports showed several unusual government/military aircraft arriving around the same time as Netanyahu's aircraft. Moroccan, Saudi and Qatari government aircraft were also reported at the airport. 

And Khalifa Haftar the Libyan leader himself was also in Abu Dhabi for 'medical treatment'  (Libya Observer).

Since the meeting was called by the President of the UAE and attended by the Israeli Prime Minister it is most likely that the other attendees were of equal or high rank. The Saudi Minister of Defense Prince Khalid bin Salman Al Saud, who is the younger brother of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is said to have attended. The Saudis have denied attending at all. 

Saudi Arabia is facing an intensified Houthi threat, and Khalid bin Salman is in charge of defense and high-level diplomacy over the Houthi situation. 

The meeting was organized by Mossad chief Roman Gofman after a Saudi request for Israeli assistance against Houthi attacks. The UAE agreed to host it. 

Israel had already supplied/operated air-defence capabilities in the UAE during the Iranian conflict.  In other news, last week TWO squadrons of jet fighters from the United States Air Force have landed at an Israel Air Base in the Negev desert. 

I think the curtains are coming down on the Iranian regime. 

RUSSIA'S GERAN 5 JET POWERED DRONE: US$50,000 CRUISE MISSILE WITH 1,000 KM RANGE, 700 KM/HR SPEED

 

The war in Ukraine has defined drone warfare and drone tactics that will become textbook material in war colleges for decades to come.  In August of this year (2026) the Russians have introduced the Geran 5 jet powered drone. It is made up of a Chinese turbojet engine, German transistors and American processors made by Texas Instruments.  Total cost is about US$50,000. The Geran 5 has a range of 1,000 km and a speed between 700 - 800 km/hr.  It carries a 90 kg warhead. Which makes it one of the cheapest options to deliver high explosive payload up to 1,000 km.

The really interesting aspect of the drone is it optical guidance system, on top of an inertial guidance system.  An inertial guidance system (IGS) is a navigation system that figures out an object's position, speed, and direction of movement without needing GPS, radio signals, or external references.  It does this using sensors called an inertial measurement unit (IMU) consisting of gyroscopes — measure rotation and changes in orientation and  accelerometers — which measure changes in velocity (acceleration).  A computer continuously integrates these measurements to calculate where the object is located. 

Excuse the tech talk but what this means is that the drone carries all these tech stuff on board.  It does not need to communicate with base or with satellites or with any other radio guidance. It can complete the strike mission independently on its own.  Meaning it is extremely difficult to jam the drone. 

But the icing on the Geran 5 drone is the optical guidance system. It also has a camera in front which scans the topography and landmarks on the ground. The entire route has already been photographed by satellites and other aerial recon and the images of the entire flight route are stored in the computer memory of the drone. As the drone flies it can match what its camera-eye sees on the ground with the images stored in its memory. This way the drone can fly super accurately following rivers, railway lines, recognise building shapes or shapes of hills and arrive accurately at the target. 

The Geran 5 has effectively become a cruise missile with a strike range of 1,000 km. But at only US$50,000 per drone. Versus a  Tomahawk cruise missile that has a range of 1,600 km, has a payload of 450 kg and costs US$4.0 million a piece.

If the Russians wish to deliver 450 kg of explosives (like the Tomahawk), they must shoot FIVE Geran 5 drones.  But the cost will be US$250,000 versus US$4.0 million for the Tomahawk (16 times more money).

MORALITY, IMMORALITY AND BEING AMORAL. DYMM TUANKU MUHRIZ'S JANUARY SPEECH

I received this via WhatsApp. I believe it is going around. Dont know who wrote this. Slight editing by me.  I have some comments at the end.

A ROYAL REBUKE: TUANKU MUHRIZ’S ANTI‑CORRUPTION SPEECH

ON 14 JANUARY 2026 Negeri Sembilan State Ruler Tuanku Muhriz gave a speech during the Investiture Ceremony of Orders, Decorations and Medals held in conjunction with His Royal Highness’s 78th birthday at the Istana Besar Seri Menanti.   (7 months BEFORE the State Election)

…. which must have freaked out the corrupt warlords in Kuala Lumpur

In His Highness’s speech, Tuanku Muhriz said,

“I am deeply astonished and disappointed that THERE ARE STILL THOSE who continue to extend support to AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF EXTREMELY SERIOUS CORRUPTION CHARGES, as though such an act were acceptable and forgivable.

Such an attitude not only reflects a failure to understand the danger of corruption, which erodes the integrity of institutions and the moral foundations of society, but also calls for a deeper examination of one's faith, principles in life, and personal values.”

As a qualified lawyer, His Highness was expressing the need for his subjects to respect the rule of law.

Tuanku Muhriz delivered an unusually pointed birthday royal address in which he condemned 

- the growing tolerance of corruption in Malaysia and

- more specifically, those who continue to support officials already convicted by the courts of serious graft.

The speech was striking not only for its moral clarity but also for its timing. It came amid national debates over high‑profile corruption cases and the perceived softening of attitudes toward convicted political figures.

While the immediate political response was muted, the speech later became a reference point in the  constitutional crisis, when Tuanku Muhriz’s insistence on integrity and the rule of law collided with partisan interests.

THE CORE MESSAGE IN THE SPEECH

He expressed deep concern over the increasing prevalence of corruption and voiced disappointment that some members of the public still rallied behind individuals found guilty of serious corruption offences, as if such conduct were somehow acceptable or forgivable.

He described corruption as the “foremost enemy of justice, trust and the nation’s future”, and warned against any attempt to normalise it.

Those who continued to back convicted offenders, he said, demonstrated a failure to understand the destructive impact of corruption on institutional integrity and on the moral foundations of society.

He urged such people to engage in self‑reflection and to reassess their faith, principles and values, stressing that any tolerance or compromise on corruption was contrary to truth, justice and trust, and “wholly unacceptable in a nation governed by the rule of law.”

The speech was widely reported in the national press as a strong, values‑based condemnation of corruption, with headlines emphasising that the ruler was “shocked and disheartened” by public support for convicted corrupt officials.

Tuanku Muhriz’s January 2026 speech was, on its face, a moral exhortation rather than a partisan intervention.  Yet its impact extended well beyond the day it was delivered.  In the short term, it drew broad public praise and careful, non‑confrontational responses from political leaders.

In the longer term, it became a symbolic marker of Tuanku Muhriz’s commitment to integrity, accountability and the rule of law, and a lens through which later events in September were interpreted.

THE SPEECH AND THE SEPTEMBER CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

Analyses in outlets such as Newswav and the South China Morning Post framed Tuanku Muhriz’s January anti‑corruption “titah” as a principled stand that had alienated certain UMNO circles, especially in the context of debates over the treatment of convicted figures like former prime minister Najib Razak.

These pieces suggested that his refusal to normalise corruption or to accept public support for convicted offenders had contributed to a political backlash, which later found expression in efforts to challenge his position.

Some writers described the September events and directly cited his January speech as evidence that he had taken a clear, unpopular stand against corruption and those who defend convicted offenders.

The crisis in Negeri Sembilan was also about whether a ruler could insist on high ethical standards without provoking a political counter‑attack.

When the September crisis erupted, politicians and commentators did not need to restate the details of the January titah; they simply invoked its spirit.

Tuanku Muhriz warned that tolerance of corruption and support for convicted offenders corrode the very foundations of a just society.

TUANKU MUHRIZ ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY IN THE COLLISION WITH UMNO

The political reactions to Tuanku Muhriz’s speech evolved from initial caution to a retrospective recognition that his words had drawn a line: between a politics that accommodates convicted wrongdoers and one that insists on ethical governance and respect for law.

The September crisis then tested whether that line could be held against partisan pressure.

Far from isolating him, the speech ultimately strengthened his moral and political position in a moment of constitutional stress.

My Comments:

• MORALITY — Having principles about what is right and wrong, and trying to act according to those principles.
  • Example: “Stealing is wrong, so I will not steal.”
  • 
    
• IMMORALITY — Knowingly violating accepted moral principles; doing what is considered wrong or unethical.
  • Example: “I know stealing is wrong, but I steal anyway.”
  • 
    
• AMORALITY — No morals at all. Not applying any moral concepts at all; right and wrong are irrelevant.
  • Example: “I don't care whether stealing is right or wrong; I only care whether I can get away with it.” 
  • In other words:

  

• 
  

In one line:    Moral = follows moral principles.  Immoral = violates moral principles.  Amoral = absolutely no moral principles.

PANDEMIK GURU AGAMA BERTERUSAN

 

• Guru agama didakwa amang seksual pelajar lelaki

MY COMMENTS: Apa sudah jadi dengan kes seorang ibu yang menangis anak dia diliwat oleh pelajar senior di sebuah sekolah tahfiz? 

Jenayah ini makin serius, terlalu kerap berlaku di sana sini melibatkan tahfiz, pelajar tahfir atau guru agama bukan sekolah tahfiz. Yang perlu terlibat menangani masalah ini adalah orang yang pakar seperti psychologists, criminologists dan pakar sociology. 

Tolonglah jangan pi tanya guru agama pula 'What is your solution to this problem?' Sebab rupanya merekalah yang berproblem.

Sebenarnya jenayah ini sudah out of control. Dalam seminggu saja dua tiga kes dilaporkan. Bagaimana pula kes yang tidak dilaporkan, kes yang kita tidak tahu berlaku?

Perhatikan sekolah Cina.  Tak ada banyak masalah pun.

UKRAINE WAR CLIP

 

This is not a nice video. Discretion is advised. People get destroyed.  But this is the face of drone warfare. It is all drones, drones, drones. Drones in the air, drones on the ground, in the water.

Two things to note. The soldiers on both sides (Russians red, white, blue and Ukrainians yellow, blue) operate in small groups. Two to five soldiers on patrol at a time. Even the search and destroy units are less than five soldiers at a time - on both sides.  

This is actually a low intensity conflict. You do not see World War 2 style mass movement of tanks, troops and artillery across the country. Mass concentration of troops  will get them killed by the drones. The drones determine everything.

This is also a political conflict. It is not a war over territory. In other words the territory can be traded off with the politics. You do this I do that, you dont do this I dont do that. But this option has decreased with time. Too late.

The conflict can be resolved quickly.  But there is too much politics. Also it is Ukrainian and Russians who are being killed. 

AMBIGA PICKS UP THE CUDGELS - THE PH IS QUITE INSANE

 

TUN DR SITI HASMAH PASSES ON

 

Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, has passed away at the age of 100.  Born on July 12, 1926, in Klang, Selangor, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali became one of Malaysia’s earliest Malay women doctors and went on to have a long career in medicine, public health and social work.  She studied medicine at King Edward VII College of Medicine in Singapore and graduated in 1955.  

For over 52 years as the wife of a senior Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and then wife of the Prime Minister for almost 24 years Tun Siti was the exemplary wife to her husband, mother to her children, and First Lady to an entire country of over 30 million people.  A remarkable woman and a human being par excellence. Not once in all those five decades or more did she lapse even in one word  of speech. Or  make a single faux pas. Not once. 

My deepest condolences to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed and all the family. 

PANDEMIK TAHFIZ BERTERUSAN - MUDIR CABUL TIGA MURID LELAKI

 

Former tahfiz school head held over alleged sexual assault of 3 students

DUNGUN:

A former mudir (headmaster) of a tahfiz school here has been remanded for five days from today to assist investigations into the alleged sexual assault of three male students, aged 13 and 14, in incidents between April and September last year.

Dungun police chief said the remand order was issued by magistrate to facilitate investigations under Sections 14(b) and 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.

He said the 26-year-old man, who now works as a part-time teacher at a religious school in the district, was arrested at his home in Paka here at about 11pm last night.

“Police received three reports regarding the incidents yesterday, and preliminary investigations found that all three victims were former students of the school in 2025,” he said when contacted.

SHARBAT GULA - THE ESCAPE TO SMILE

 

This is the famous Afghan child Sharbat Gula. This picture appeared on National Geographic's cover in 1984. I first read the story about her then. She was 12 years old. I believe the picture was taken in Peshawar (Pak - Afghan border). 

Here is a short video about her plight.

In 2021 when the Taliban took over Kabul, Sharbat Gula faced the threat of being deported from Pakistan back to Afghanistan. She applied for refugee status in Italy and was granted her application. The Italian government flew Sharbat and her four children to Rome, where she has been living since.  At last this is Sharbat Gula smiling - in Rome. 

MUST READ. ORANG MELAYU MESTI BACA. OIL INDUSTRY WILL CRASH PERMANENTLY IN 10 YEARS MAX. HERE IS WHY.

 

Here is the oil price chart (West Texas) for the past 30 days.

Despite all the ongoing Hormuz bullshit, in the past 30 days West Texas crude has gone from US$90 per barrel down to US$68 per barrel to yesterday's US$71 per barrel. These prices are relatively low.  Oil is not likely to hit US$100 - maybe never.

In 2024 Saudi Arabia cancelled capacity expansion to 13 million barrels per day.
1 million bpd of future capacity was cancelled.   Saudi's present capacity ≈ 12 million bpd.  But actual production ≈ 9 million bpd.  Shortfall ≈ 3 million bpd

• World oil supply is now about 105 million bpd. 
• World oil demand is just below 104 million bpd.  
• Despite the ayatollah monkeys, world oil supply exceeds demand. 
• China consumes 16 million bpd of oil (about 15%). This is disappearing.
• Please take note.

But here is the real threat on the horizon. It is called Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (TMSR) and it is Made in China.  It does not need cooling water, no danger of Fukushima or Chernobyl accidents, it can be built small and modular (possibly in 12-18 months by the Chinese)  and it runs on super abundant thorium - which is a waste product from many mining operations. China has enough Thorium to last them 20,000 years or more.

Here are two videos you must watch. Maximum 15 minutes. You can double the speed on YouTube.

The Chinese are planning to build ultra large container ships powered by thorium molten salt reactors.

• Thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR) powered container ships
• Producing roughly 50 MW electrical power
• Extraordinary endurance - decades without conventional refuelling
• Ship size:   about 230,000–250,000 tonnes carrying 24,000 containers  

It will be the end of bunker fuel for Chinese container ships. And 250,000 tonne giants will lower transport costs from the Port of Shanghai to Los Angeles. Pinduoduo will give 50% discounts.

The Chinese already have a prototype TMSR up and running since 2023. It is rated at 2MW thermal and is located in Gansu in the Gobi Desert. See picture.

 No ventilation chimneys, no cooling towers, no cooling ponds. No need for water.

They are already planning a 10 MW or larger TMSR plant by 2030 - only FOUR years away.  I estimate that in another six years after that (2036) the Chinese will have these TMSR plants popping up all over China.  

Now here comes the scary part.  Below here is the projection for Chinese consumption of fossil fuels over the next FIVE years. I have shown this chart not too long ago. Even without TMSR reactors, Chinese oil consumption is already slowing down. The chart shows that from 2027 - 28 onwards Chinese consumption of fossil fuels will start decreasing. China has invested heavily in solar energy, wind energy, hydro and other renewables. Plus their entire motor vehicle industry is switching to EV - which is more energy efficient.

So guess what is going to happen when the Chinese begin building TMSR reactors on a larger scale throughout China - after 2030.

This picture should give you an idea.
