GAJI MINIMA FRESH GRADUATE: DEPA TAK FAHAM BISNES DAN EKONOMI

RM2,500 minimum pay may deter bosses from hiring fresh grads, says group

fresh grads, semi-skilled workers minimum salary RM2,500 
Miri Bumiputera Entrepreneurs Chamber says 
employers favour experienced workers over inexperienced job seekers
min wage RM2,500 for graduates, semi-skilled workers 
deter employers from hiring inexperienced job seekers 
make it harder for young people to secure first job
particularly if businesses had to pay higher starting salaries 
fresh graduates limited practical experience
for RM2,500 employers prefer experienced workers 
rather than fresh graduates who require training 
urged gomen to consult employers to better understand businesses 

(OSTB: They made a foolish policy without consulting the employers. They must consult real,  private sector employers).

fresh graduates need to learn and prove their abilities
employers more cautious about hiring fresh grads because of RM2,500 min wage
freshbgrads will find it harder to secure their first job
we must ensure businesses can afford to hire and train fresh graduates
impact on employers'hiring decisions must be considered
experience, skills and productivity determine pay
wage growth should be supported by productivity, business performance, skills 

OSTB: This is really so dumb. These people do not understand basic business and economics.

How much salary can fresh graduates earn now in their first job? Today, October 2026 can an ordinary fresh graduate from UITM or USIM  or any other IPTA get a job in the real private sector that pays RM2,500 per month? I doubt it.

(I am not including Civil Service jobs or jobs at the GLCs - those people live inside their own universe and have nothing to do with reality).

A university graduate with say two or three years work experience only makes about RM3,000 per month (lower end) in admin jobs, general business.  He is only RM500 away from the minimum wages of RM2,500 for fresh grads.   

It is not impossible that experienced graduates who are looking for a new job or who have lost their jobs will apply for those RM2,500 minimum wage jobs. This will push out the fresh grads again. 

Or employers will offer slightly higher than RM2,500 - say RM2,700 but only take graduates with work experience. This will also knock out the fresh grads.

But here is the more relevant question - are there enough jobs available? Whether the salary is RM2,500 or RM3,000 becomes a time wasting argument if there are not enough jobs available. 

And then there is also the nature of the job.  I know of a SPM high school leaver who is doing the job of an executive with RM2,700 a month salary. Her colleagues were university graduates who could not perform the same job. 

So now because by decree of the Lord of the Jungle fresh grads must be paid RM2,500 smart employers will be looking for SPM grads who can do the same job but for less than RM2,500 salary. Or they will give training to the SPM grads so that they can do the same job but at less than RM2,500.

What does this mean? It means more fresh grads are going to be unemployed. They are messing things up again. 

A Persian Grammarian Called Sibawayh (Sibuyah) - The Power Of AI

Non Muslims can skip this post. 
I dont know if the Muslims should also skip this. 
It could be too boring. Ha ha ha. 
But it is about a three minute read.  

Just like you, I think AI (Artificial Intelligence) was made just for me. I look up everything from Rotating Detonation Engines (its a new jet engine) to just about everything else.  The AI provides really super advanced information and knowledge at your fingertips - and it pops up in split seconds.

Today I had to look up a character called Sibawayh again - I read about him years ago. Sibawayh was a Persian who wrote perhaps the first book of Arabic grammar.  The AI showed me the following:

Sībawayh (Sibuyah): Brief Biography

- Full name: Abū Bishr ʿAmr ibn ʿUthmān ibn Qanbar, known as Sībawayh (سيبويه).

- Origin: Persian, from the region of Fars in what is now Iran. Persian was his mother tongue.

- Birth: Commonly reported as around 760 AD, but his exact birth date and birthplace are uncertain. Al-Bayḍāʾ, near Shiraz, is frequently given as his birthplace.

- Death: Commonly dated around 796 AD, although the date and place are disputed.

(OSTB: Sibawayh died an early death, before the age of 40. There was some suggested  reason for this.)

- Career: He studied and worked in Basra, Iraq, and became the leading figure of the Basran school of Arabic grammar.

- Major teachers: The grammarian al-Khalīl ibn Aḥmad al-Farāhīdī and other Basran scholars.

- Major work: Al-Kitāb (“The Book”), widely regarded as the earliest comprehensive treatise on Arabic grammar. It may not originally have carried a formal title; Kitāb Sībawayh (“Sībawayh’s Book”) became a common designation later. 

- Original title: The work is traditionally known simply as Al-Kitāb (“The Book”). Kitāb Sībawayh is a later identifying designation.

(OSTB:  This means Sībawayh’s original handwritten manuscript of his book does not exist.  It was not extant. His work was reproduced and transmitted by later grammarians, including al-Akhfash and al-Mubarrad.  Geneviève Humbert’s major study of the manuscript tradition argues that the surviving recensions (of al Kitab)  largely follow another non-extant (lost copy) associated with al-Mubarrad. Thus, the text has a transmission history, and its surviving forms are not identical to Sībawayh’s original al Kitab).

- Importance: It systematised Arabic grammar and became foundational for subsequent grammarians. It was not the first attempt to analyse Arabic grammar, but it is the earliest surviving comprehensive grammatical treatise. 

The controversy and his death

Initial embarrassment: A traditional account says Sībawayh made a grammatical error while reciting a hadith during his studies with Ḥammād ibn Salama. The story says this prompted him to study grammar.

The famous Baghdad Debate: Sībawayh later debated the Kufan grammarian al-Kisāʾī (also Persian) over the correct Arabic construction in the famous “Question of the Hornet.” The story says four Bedouin speakers supported al-Kisāʾī's position.

What was the “Question of the Hornet”?

Arabic: المسألة الزنبورية — al-Masʾalah al-Zunbūriyyah

It was a famous reported grammatical debate in Baghdad between Sībawayh, representing Basra, and al-Kisāʾī, representing Kufa, during the reign of Hārūn al-Rashīd.

The disputed sentence meant approximately:   “I used to think the scorpion’s sting was more painful than the hornet’s; and lo, it is so.”

The dispute concerned the final Arabic expression:
Sībawayh: فَإِذَا هُوَ هِيَ (fa-idhā huwa hiya).
Al-Kisāʾī: فَإِذَا هُوَ إِيَّاهَا (fa-idhā huwa iyyāhā).

The disagreement concerned the grammatical construction and case of the pronoun—roughly, whether the predicate should use the nominative form hiya or the accusative-form pronoun iyyāhā.

According to the traditional story, al-Kisāʾī called in four Bedouin Arabic speakers, who supported his position. Sībawayh was consequently judged to have lost the debate.

Was Sībawayh objectively wrong? The reported verdict does not settle that question. The episode is preserved through later accounts, and modern scholarship cautions that the dramatic story of his humiliation and death may have been embellished. The historical details and even the versions of the grammatical dispute require critical examination.

- Was Sībawayh proven wrong? The anecdote reports that he lost the public contest. 

Return to Persia: Early biographical reports say he left after the encounter and died young in Persia.   Later accounts attribute his death to grief or illness following the defeat.

(OSTB: Sibawayh died very young, before the age of 40, around 36 or 37 years old. The story of Sibawayh suffering great embarrassment because his grammar was proven wrong by four  - possibly illiterate - desert Bedouins is well known. However the story that he died as a result of grief following the embarrassment he suffered is debateable).

Historical assessment: A 2022 scholarly study by Teddy Fassberg argues that the dramatic story linking his humiliation to his death was shaped by literary legend, modelled on accounts of the Greek poet Homer’s death. The precise circumstances of Sībawayh’s death remain uncertain. 

Bottom line: The tale that a humiliating debate broke him psychologically and caused his early death is not established historical fact.

(OSTB: Now this is where the AI is fantastic. I asked the AI to look for examples of  

Sībawayh: فَإِذَا هُوَ هِيَ (hiya).

Al-Kisāʾī: فَإِذَا هُوَ إِيَّاهَا (iyyāhā)

in the Quran. The answer came back in split seconds. Hiya refers she or it (eg 20:18). Iyya refers her or it as object (eg 1:5).   Thats about it. 

PAKISTAN IN MORE TROUBLE : MARTIAL LAW & EMERGENCY DECLARED IN KHYBER PAKHTUNHWA (KPK). CHIEF MINISTER ARRESTED. PESHAWAR LOCKDOWN.

UPDATE: It appears that the PTI did march into Islamabad yesterday.  They began their march some days ago from KPK and reached Islamabad yesterday.

About two weeks ago the PTI party (Pakistan Tehreeke Insaf) threatened to march to the capital Islamabad on October 4th, to demand the release from prison of Imran Khan. The government of Field Marshall Asim Muneer promptly ordered a blockade of major cities like Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi (using containers to close roads).

Then the PTI pulled a sneaky. They postponed their march. They said they will pick a another date. So until today 12th October the roads remain closed in Islamabad, Karachi but there is no march. The PTI have made the Asim Muneer government look really silly.

So in retaliation (this is my own reading) the government of Field Marshall Asim Muneer has decided to put Khyber Pakhtunhwa or KPK - which is the home turf of the PTI - under martial law and lockdown. Sohail Afridi the Chief Minister of KPK who declared himself a 'Soldier of Imran Khan' has been arrested. Here is some news:

• ISLAMABAD/PESHAWAR:  federal govt took control of KPK Sun 11 Oct 2026
• after imposing Emergency and governor's rule in KPK province
• deploying army to assist civil administration
• roadblocks sealed key areas of Peshawar
• public transport suspended
• educational institutions ordered closed 
• matriculation examinations postponed
• police arrested dozens of PTI workers 
• chief minister Sohail Afridi also detained
• imposed emergency under Article 232 of Constitution
• citing escalating terrorist attacks
• threats to citizens' lives and property
• attacks on govt installations, infrastructure, law-enforcement personnel
• declared provincial govt not able to function 
• empowered federal govt to assume provincial govt functions
• chief minister, provincial ministers cease to hold office with immediate effect 

Schools are closed indefinitely and even the matriculation exams are postponed !! Students in KPK who were hoping to qualify for university entrance this year in Pakistan and overseas will have to postpone their plans until dont know when. Basically Field Marshall Asim Muneer is telling the PTI, Sohail Afridi and the Imran Khan supporters 'you create chaos in Islamabad, I will create chaos in KPK and Peshawar'. I believe the stalemate will be broken if the PTI cancels all its plans to march to Islamabad.  

Here are some pictures:

Meanwhile yesterday 11th Oct 2026, the Houthis fired a ballistic missile into King Khaled International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. 12 people were killed, 309 people were injured, some critically. 

The Pakistan Air Force has sent  a couple of squadrons of fighter jets to Saudi Arabia to help them bomb the Houthis (who are Iranian proxies).  In retaliation Yemen has declared war on Pakistan.  Pakistani soldiers are also on the ground in Yemen. The Houthis have announced that they have captured 47 of the Pakistani soldiers. 

Pakistan has also been bombing Kabul and Afghanistan. The latest news says that Iran has begun supplying weapons and aid to its neighbour Afghanistan (to the Taliban). As the stomach churns. 

Look at this map closely:

Dr Kanul Gindol And The New Gabungan Bebas Merdeka (GBM) In Sabah

'tanggapan umum bahawa “tiada yang boleh diharapkan di Sabah” serta berleluasanya budaya politik “lain dicakap, lain dibuat” di kalangan mereka yang berkuasa'.

My Comments: This is something new in Sabah. But the people behind it are not newcomers. Dr Kanul Gindol (a PhD in Political Science) and his friends are old hands at what is going on in Sabah. Interestingly they are targetting all 25 + 1 (Labuan) Parliamentary seats in Sabah. Parliamentary seats means Federal Government. Putrajaya. 

Full speed ahead to GBM.  Do your best, serve the people and always ask them, 'What can we do for you the people'. 

KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Bebas Merdeka (GBM) – sebuah pergerakan politik bebas dan gabungan calon-calon Bebas, berhasrat meletakkan calon di semua kerusi Parlimen di Sabah pada pilihan raya umum (PRU) yang akan datang.

Pengerusi GBM Gundohing Dr Kanul Gindol berkata gabungan itu kini dalam proses mengenalpasti dan membuat penilaian bakal-bakal calon yang bakal diketengahkan.

“Hasrat GBM itu begitulah, bagaimanapun saya diminta hanya mengumumkan jumlah calon sebenar kami pada satu persidangan GBM menjelang pembubaran Parlimen yang saya jangka sebelum hujung 2027,” katanya ketika ditanya JT mengenai perkembangan gabungan bebas itu.

Menurutnya, GBM yang baru saja dilancarkan pada 14 Ogos baru-baru ini kini sedang giat menjelaskan perjuangan dua Poin GBM iaitu “Perdana Menteri Malaysia PRU16 Patut Dari Sarawak” dan “Jawatan PM Perlu Digilirkan Setiap Lima atau Lapan Tahun Kepada Tiga Wilayah Semenanjung, Sarawak dan Sabah”.

“Pendekatan ‘Dua Poin GBM’ yang kami lancarkan di Tuaran kurang dua bulan lalu itu nampaknya menerima sambutan sangat menggalakkan dan ramai memberitahu mereka bersedia menyokong GBM kerana merintis kepada perjuangan politik baru.

“Saya tak peduli apa orang lain kata. Dua Poin GBM ini pasti menggoncang model lama politik dalam negara yang terlalu tepu dengan penguasaan berpanjangan Semenanjung, tidak memberi peluang kepada Sabah dan Sarawak mengetuai pentadbiran negara,” jelasnya sambil menambah GBM menyusun komiti kawasan di kesemua 26 kerusi Parlimen Sabah, termasuk satu di Labuan.

Dr Kanul, seorang bekas wartawan dan juga aktivis terkenal Sabah, berkata beliau tidak begitu risau mengenai calon pada masa ini kerana yakin semakin ramai pemimpin lama dan baru tampil menyatakan minat mereka terhadap “model baru”  pengurusan politik gabungan bebas itu.

“Yang sebenarnya ramai juga memberitahu saya bahawa adalah lebih baik mempunyai parti politik daripada menghimpun calon-calon bebas, dan saya menerima pandangan ini dan sehubungan itu GBM terbuka kepada ‘kerjasama dengan parti politik yang sesuai’ dan juga ‘usaha mendaftarkan sebuah parti politik baru’.

“Saya sendiri telah bertemu dan akan menemui lagi pemimpin parti-parti tempatan Sabah yang bersikap terbuka kepada GBM dalam memeriksa kemungkinan mengadakan kerjasama antara GBM dengan parti atau parti-parti berkenaan,” katanya sambil menjelaskan masih terlalu awal untuk mendapat apa-apa kepastian.

Dr Kanul bagaimanapun menjelaskan pada masa ini pimpinan GBM berpendapat mereka tidak tertarik  membentuk gabungan dengan Warisan, GRS, BN, PH mahupun PN sebaliknya yakin memberi saingan kepada parti-parti itu sedikit masa lagi.

Katanya lagi sentuhan dan gerakan GBM dijangka hanya dirasai di seluruh Sabah selepas Februari 2027 apabila tiga lapis pimpinan GBM terbentuk dengan kukuh di 26 kawasan Parlimen atau sekurang-kurangnya di 24 kerusi.

Tiga lapis pimpinan itu ialah “Executive Committee” yang adalah kata putus kepada semua gerakan GBM, Jawatankuasa Pemandu dan Pilihanraya yang pada masa ini belum diaktifkan, dan ‘State Standing Committee’ yang mengandungi pimpinan kanan di semua 26 kawasan Parlimen Sabah dan Labuan.

“Apa yang menarik ialah jawatankuasa eksekutif GBM ini telahpun memuktamadkan bahawa pemilihan calon-calon GBM adalah diputuskan sendiri oleh pimpinan GBM di peringkat kawasan, bukan oleh ‘executive committee’ mahupun saya sendiri.

“GBM tidak lagi memakai model lama politik di mana kabinet dapur termasuk isteri dan keluarga presiden yang memutus, meminda dan menukar calon pada minit terakhir. Ini tidak akan berlaku dalam GBM,” katanya sambil menjelaskan beliau hanya ‘interven’ jika beliau yakin wujud unsur mensabotaj GBM dari dalam.

Dr Kanul juga menjelaskan baginya tidak timbul GBM sebagai kuasa ketiga kerana sebenarnya tidak wujud kuasa pertama dan kuasa kedua yang stabil dalam lanskap politik Sabah sejak penyertaan begitu banyak parti atau gabungan pada pilihanraya lalu.

“Sabah ada 25 kerusi Parlimen tapi hari ini hanya ada tiga MP Warisan dan enam MP GRS, jadi mana kuasa pertama dan kuasa keduanya? Tiada. Semua pun masing-masing bersaingan. Kerusi-kerusi MP lain di Sabah dikuasai BN, PH, PN dan juga Bebas,” jelasnya.

Mengenai kriteria calon GBM, Dr Kanul, yang memiliki PhD Sains Politik dan dianggap antara pakar komunikasi politik tempatan, berkata cukup sekadar calon-calonnya sihat dan memiliki kejujuran dan kebijaksanaan yang seimbang melayakkan mereka menjadi anggota parlimen yang berkesan untuk rakyat dan Sabah serta boleh membantunya selaku ketua GBM.

“Calon-calon saya mesti menghayati Dua Poin perjuangan awal GBM tadi, dan mereka mesti bersedia ada dua poin besar lagi bakal saya umumkan sebelum PRU16 ataupun pada persidangan GBM hujung 2027 nanti, mudah-mudahan,” katanya sambil menambah GBM dijadual melancarkan Proklamasi Budaya Politik GBM pada satu majlis di Tuaran pada bulan ini.

“Budaya Politik kami ringkas hanya ada lima poin yang menjadi pemandu tingkah-laku semua pemimpin GBM di semua peringkat. Ini sangat penting kerana rakan kita di Sarawak juga amat gelisah dengan tanggapan umum bahawa “tiada yang boleh diharapkan di Sabah” serta berleluasanya budaya politik “lain dicakap, lain dibuat” di kalangan mereka yang berkuasa.

China’s Architectural Wonder Has Been Standing for 700 Years

 

GUT SHOT PODCAST EP 125 GOVERNMENT LOSING CONCERNS

 

THE MINIMUM WAGE DISASTER: UNEMPLOYMENT, INFLATION

• minimum wage RM 2000 from July 2027
• to boost household income and domestic demand
• create high income economy

• Minimum Wage up 88.9% from RM900 in 2013 to RM1,700 in 2025
• they target Minimum Wage of  RM3,000 by 2030
• MTUC wants Minimum Wage of RM3,100

My Comments: They have low IQ, they do not understand business, economics or finance. They think simply waving a magic wand and saying Kun Pa Yakun (Be and it is) will magically make things better.

Here is the most important bit of information:   Minimum Wage up 88.9% from RM900 in 2013 to RM1,700 in 2025

In 12 years the Minimum Wage increased almost 90%. 

This has imposed higher costs for businesses especially start up businesses. They will close shop, fire workers or not hire as many workers. Unemployment will increase.

And inflation will certainly go up.  In 12 years the Minimum Wage has gone up by almost 90%. The question is has that been sufficient? The answer is no.  

When the Minimum Wage goes up more price inflation will be 'manufactured'.  Wage earners will still find it difficult to make ends meet. Like a cat chasing its own tail - it will never end. This means there will be pressure to keep increasing the Minimum Wages. 

Meaning more businesses will close down because they cannot afford higher and higher Minimum Wages. Which is what is happening in our country. So the unemployment will increase.

But they will rebrand the unemployed as the gig economy. There are now 3.0 million people in the gig economy. What this means is that there are an extra 3.0 million unemployed. 

Just send back the Rohingyas, the Myanmars, the Banglas, the Nepalis, the Pakistanis. That is a few million already. They are taking jobs away from the locals. MALANGNYA RAMAI ORANG MELAYU TAK FAHAM DAN TAK SEDAR ANCAMAN BESAR INI. Ramai daripada anak tuan-tuan yang habis sekolah tak dapat kerja sebab terlalu ramai pekerja asing sudah sapu peluang pekerjaan dalam negara kita. 

Switch the education system back to English - or at least for science and mathematics. Switch to English like the sekolah asrama penuh, the international schools etc. 

We must create an economy that has higher productivity, automation and higher value added. Then the wages will increase because of higher productivity. 

PH AKAN DITENDANG KELUAR SEBAB MASALAH ROHINGYA (DAN BANYAK LAGI)

 

Masalah Rohngya makin menjadi dan membesar. Ikut laporan di bawah ini Rohingya kencing dan berak di merata tempat. 

Dan Rohingya ini makin menimbulkan masalah khusus bagi orang Melayu bawahan - yang sangat ramai. Here is the reason. Rohingya sewa rumah kos rendah, mereka masuk flat dan apartmen PPRT (projek perumahan rakyat termiskin), kawasan setinggan dan kampong-kampong orang miskin - yang paling ramai sekali adalah Melayu. Maksudnya kumpulan B40. Contohnya seperti video di atas.

Rohingya tidak menjadi masalah di Seksyen 17 Petaling Jaya, di Minden Heights di Penang atau Bangsar Baru di KL yang semuanya adalah kawasan mewah. Dan ramai penduduk kawasan ini adalah Cina, juga India dan Melayu.

Tetapi secara amnya Rohingya menimbulkan angkara dan masalah di kawasan kos rendah di mana penduduknya lazimnya adalah kumpulan Melayu B40.

Sebab itu setiap hari kita boleh tengok video, podcast dan laporan media oleh orang Melayu yang ceritakan huru-hara terkini yang melibatkan Rohingya.

So percayalah pada PRU akan datang, PH akan ditendang keluar. Mereka akan disepak macam bola sampai mereka masuk orbit angkasa lepas dan boleh kelilingi bulan.

ROYAL TRADITIONS IN THAILAND

 

This is Thailand's multi-talented, highly accomplished and beautiful Queen Suthida. The latest feather in her cap is getting her jet fighter wings when she successfully flew solo a Saab Gripen fighter jet of the Royal Thai Air Force. Flying a jet fighter takes significant training, skills and commitment. She has done it at 48 years of age.  Extraordinary. 

Her husband HRH King Vajiralongkorn of Thailand was present to see her take off and land. Upon landing there was a small ceremony where HRH the King pinned the Gripen badge on the Queen. The King then presented the Queen with a bouquet of flowers.

The Queen Suthida  is well known in Thai society as a strong advocate of Thai traditions.  Traditions means you have your own history. 

PRESIDENT PUTIN'S BIRTHDAY GIFTS: TRUMP REMOVES SANCTIONS ON RUSSIAN OIL

 

1.  Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder attended President Vladimir Putin's 74th birthday celebrations on Wednesday. Here be the news:

• Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder attended Russian President Vladimir Putin's birthday party, the Kremlin said Thursday. 
• Putin celebrated his 74th birthday in Moscow on Wednesday. 
• "The president invited his old friend to his home" the Kremlin said,
• pictures of Schröder and Putin smiling and clasping hands. 

Schroeder happened to be travelling in Moscow on a business trip when Mr Putin was informed of his presence. So Mr Putin invited Schroeder over to his house.  Business trip? Germans on a business trip to Russia? But isnt there a war going on? Isnt Russia under complete German and western sanctions? What was Schroeder doing on a business trip to Moscow? 

So you see folks, the world is never as you hear about it. The reality is always different from what you are told.

2.  But here is an even bigger birthday surprise for Mr Putin:

• Trump says Russia to supply diesel to US and global markets
• October 9, 2026

• Summary
• Russia to supply 300,000 tons of diesel now, with more later, Trump says
• Move comes ahead of November 3 midterm elections
• US diesel prices hit $6.28 a gallon on Thursday
• Zelenskiy says gifts to Putin will not bring peace
• WASHINGTON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Russia to supply ​diesel to global markets 
• Trump lifted US sanctions on Russian fuel 
• Diesel prices fell after the announcement
• Trump said "highly successful" discussion with President Vladimir Putin 
• Russia will immediately supply >300,000 metric tons of diesel 
• equal to about 2.25 million barrels of fuel
• Russia would supply another ​500,000 tons in November 
• further 1 million tons "immediately thereafter." 
• Even more would follow, Trump said

• Diesel prices are up 70% since Feb 28. 
• average US diesel prices ​US$6.28 a gallon on Thursday
• US diesel futures fell 5%, trading at US$4.64 a gallon.

Ok folks listen to this part: 

• Even more would follow, Trump said

This means the sanctions against Russia are over.  Otherwise Mr Trump cannot say 'even more will follow'. 

It also means Zelenskiy (Ukraine) cannot be attacking Russian oil refineries anymore, especially using American and Western weapons. Because Russia can stop sending the 300,000 tons, 500,000 tons, 1.0 million tons of diesel and blame it on Zelenskiy.

Then diesel prices in the US and the West will shoot up again. Putin will say, 'If you want diesel then stop shooting'.

This will certainly seal the fate of Zelenskiy. 
Exactly when he will go will be known soon. 
Ursula Van Der Lyin, Mark Rutte and Kaja Kallas  need to be shown the door as well. 
Where or what will be the new border or boundary between Russia and 'rump' Ukraine? 

US RUSSIA DISCUSS REOPENING NORDSTREAM GAS PIPELINE TO GERMANY, SANCTIONS TO BE LIFTED

 

1. Moscow Times

2. Reuters

Top Russian, U.S. officials, including Jared Kushner held talks 
to bring U.S. investor into Nord Stream pipeline deliver gas to Germany 
Kirill Dmitriev, close adviser to Putin, Kushner, son-in-law of President Trump
Dmitriev, Kushner met in Moscow and New York in recent weeks
Any deal will have to be with U.S. Itnl Dev Fin Corp (DFC) and US Treasury 
must benefit US taxpayers and companies” White House said about the pipeline
Dmitriev campaigned for resumption of Russian gas sales to Germany
met last month with U.S. Energy and Treasury Dept reps 
Before 2022, Germany bought more than half of its gas from Russia 
America and Russia will share the profits
Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) the most popular party, agrees
Dmitriev will meet AfD leadership early next year to discuss selling Russian gas 
Nordstream 51% owned by Russian Gazprom, 31% split between two German entities 
Under new plan, US DFC, Qatar, UAE will buy Nordstream 
U.S. authorities would lift sanctions against Russia 

• My Comments: 
• Notice that this is happening so soon AFTER Britain got a new Prime Minister 
• US Govt will buy direct stake in Nordstream, also Russia, Germany and others. 
• Cheap Russian gas will flow to Germany and Europe. 
• All the sanctions against Russia must go.
• German Opposition party AfD will most likely ok this deal. 
• The AfD is pro Russia. 
• Ukraine is being short changed, left out in the cold. 
• So now the US, Russia, Germany and the EU must switch sides. 
• Russia will get all the sanctions lifted. 
• New financiers will take over from old financiers.
• The war in Ukraine will be over.

 

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.

FRIDAY NOTES (12/06/26) FROM THE QURAN - SURAH YASIN

Non Muslims can read this. Some general knowledge. Out of the 114 surahs or chapters in the Quran, chapter 36 is called Surah Yasin. This chapter has much significance because it is often recited during special occasions especially at funerals and when people visit the graves of their dearly departed. It is often recited as a prayer at the graves of the dead people.

However with the appearance of Salafism there is debate because the Salafis do not practise the reciting of the Surah Yasin at funerals or at the graves of dead people.

Of course the vast majority of non-Arab Muslims do not understand Arabic and so they do not understand what they are reciting in Arabic.

Here are a few verses from Surah Yasin (36:60-64) with English translation.

Surah Yasin (36:60-64) 

60  وَأَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ  

61 وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِى ۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ  

62 وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّۭا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْقِلُونَ 

63  هَٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ  

64 ٱصْلَوْهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ 

Here is the English translation (36:60-64)

60 Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan—indeed, he is to you a clear enemy?

61 And that you worship only Me? This is a straight path.

52 And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?

63 This is the Hellfire which you were promised.

64  Enter it today because you disbelieved.

This is part of the recitation at funerals and at the graves of the dearly departed.
