Understanding HUDUD and Syariah Laws

In the recent times, Malaysia have been plagued with outrage over the passing of Islamic Syariah Laws of HUDUD Punishment in the state of Kelantan with EVERY LAW MAKER in the state agreeing to the cause, with Opposition UMNO Members (of the Barisan Nasional or National Front) fully supporting the bill.

The thing is, that the bill started off over 20 years ago when the late Haji Nik Aziz Nik Mat proposed this as part of the PAS Manifesto and with full support of the Palace, put PAS or Islamic Party of Malaysia into power for over 20 odd years.

Now, even Melaka (Malacca) are mulling the move as how Brunei pushed for full Islamic Laws recently, despite having good support of fellow ally, Singapore.

However, the Alternative Front or Pakatan Rakyat namely the DAP did not like the bill saying its barbaric and inhumane. However, lets put the perceptive of HUDUD and Syariah Laws into the legal place.

In Singapore, there is only ONE LEGAL SYSTEM, Civil Courts Prevail and an act called Administration of Muslim Legislation Act or AMLA (not to be confused with Anti-Money Laundering Act) and Syariah Courts have the absolute power of laws pertaining to Muslims but let's put it in the LEGAL ASPECT.

The descriptive above are from Malaysia Kini and compare against the current civil laws.
Theft... is punishable by jail sentence or even whipping if harm is put to play, such as weapons or other factors and in Malaysia we look at 6 years jail for petty theft of shoplifting and in Singapore, a 6-12 months jail.

However, if factors in play includes desperation, act of nature where supplies are hard to get etc, then the person is not at fault.

In the UK, AGBH (abbreviated gross bodily harm) where yobs and hooliganism are caused by the drinks. Here in Singapore, if you are drunk and caused problems, it's jail time for you. Drunk Driving is a huge problem. So DRY OUT.

False witnesses are also threaten with whipping same of False Police Report or Declaration.

In other words, it's not just human law we are playing, it's ALLAH'S LAW that we are following and if the person repent before capture and surrenders... he or she can be faulted for a smaller deed and in cases of Murder or Causing Death, a cash retribution should be in play where it makes no sense to kill another for his action to kill another. 2 Evil Deaths does not equate to one Good Death~

My 2c worth though. And Fags are causing so much harm.....

Saving on technology or just pure money??

The industry is moving and the money needs cutting and the power bill is too high. Sounds familiar rite? Especially when you are in the datacenter business and the bulk of datacenters are spent on cooling and powering those huge racks of 1U pizza boxes, each costing you about 1600W of power which works to about 45c per hour....and a rack will cost you about $30 in power + air conditioning cost per hour. 

Small figure? Add that to the monthly cost which is about $21,000 in power costs alone PER RACK!

That excludes your cooling costs! But on one sense...SERVERS DON'T NEED HUGE PROCESSING POWER. It's that SQL that rakes up loads of heat....and the critical point is the hard drives.

Imagine if you have 400 servers which is about 10 racks of servers in just one rack and using far lesser than the power of one rack? Possible? Yep. I have tested it... however the catch is..you need NAND Drives to push the data crunching to the limit. 

A Mix and Match of these savings can be hybrid together with as much as 75% of your costs and that can be heavily invested in the emerging frontier technology of NAND Storage Systems.

If you want more info...drop me a note.

Going into a risky business

Someone asked me why on earth I am gambling my future with Scotland and the Frontier Technology? And when they said Frontier Technology means CryptoCurrency / CryptoGrass (a pun from my local Singaporean friends as they were forgotten by the bosses and not get paid on time again!) also known as BitCoin or Alt-Coin / Currency.

The thing is.. SCOTLAND IS A CHEAP PLACE TO LIVE! And I saw one I loved for the cost of my HDB Flat! And it's remote and with good internet. Just the place I need. Gigabit Connections and no one to bugger me with problems.

Honestly... the world is so hyped on the drug called American Dollars that they forget that the American Currency is just another piece of bond paper like any other stock as it has no value behind it. Unlike Singapore dollars where they back $10 with ONE GRAM OF GOLD and that is only for the PRINTED NOTES and not the Digital Cyber Currencies stored in your CEPAS card such as EzLink , NETSFlashpay or even in your bank account. Hence forth , it is not worth the bits and bobs in terms of Gold and Silver. Where in Islamic terms, ONE DINAR or DIRHAM is denominated by 4.5Grams of pure Gold or Silver such as the rule with the DUCAT et al.

Think of Alternative Crypto Currency as another form of barter credit. I will accept goods worth say at today's rate of SGD600 (was $740 few days back!) per ONE BITCOIN. And one bitcoin is divided into nano units or 1 of a Billionth Unit == 1.00 00 00 00 and looks more like a MAC ADDRESS.

So if the demand of the currency unit goes up...so does the value as there is a limit to how many is in use.

Now there are many other currencies in the cyberworld similar to you using Facebook and Facebook Credits is used to buy game tokens. We have Darkcoin, Doge, SCOTCOIN and many others. The limit is stated when the developer created the crypto currency.

So we can exchange 0.01 of the Bitcoin or BTC to say 10000 Scotcoins instead to the merchant's liking. Just like the old Pre-EU days where we carry Liras,Francs,Deutsche marks, Florins, Swiss Francs, Gilders etc etc etc.

There is no GOVERNMENT TO THESE CURRENCIES. Viking Coin for example has only a max of 5000 coins to be circulated. So it should give a better market cap if there is a huge demand to the exchange rate maybe in a year's time of 10BTC=1VIK.

So I am now dabbling in these and I am going to PHASE 3 of my PLAN!

What?? Give me $5,000,000 and I will let you in on these...

Have Fun!

They can rest and come home #MH17

Just as I am composing this... there are reports of ALGIERS flight #AH5017 just crashed off the borders of Niger en-route to Algeria where they suspect bad weather caused the crash. There were about 119 souls on board.

To those on board MH17, you can now come and rest... for you can now come home.

Post by Air Times.

Our deep felt condolences to all.

Remembering #MH17

What had happened is too much to bear such that despite me being a Singaporean, the Singapore Airliner could have been the victim if they were just few mins earlier. To respect the families and mourn those who perished.... I am blacking out till the perpetrators are brought to justice. May ALLAH grant peace to the families and the souls who perished on flight MH17 and MH370

Singapore as a BitCoin Hub

In order to be a hub,one must ensure the network is secure, stable and efficient. That Singapore has it. With 1Gbs connection to my home thanks to MyRepublic, I can now do the Bitcoin Mining Rig as a main core of my income. Less of course some power bill subsidies.

But having said that, it in itself is not an INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY save for ScotCoins which they are pushing at par to the Scottish Pound. Many outlets however have started to gain the trust of the community by accepting BitCoin as a Payment Mode.

I do not vouch for anyone but I have dealt with some exchanges for the last week or so and i tested iGot and FYBSG. iGot is an international company but they wire from Australia and you lose currency as DBS charges you for incoming wire. I had an issue last week as DBS wants the wire to be exactly as in yr ic... so it's a pain..

Which is why I chose the local player FYBSG despite a lower price and a bigger margin, they approved my payment and I got it within HOURS of the Selloff. FYB uses MAYBANK and accept CASH DEPOSIT too in Singapore. There is no Malaysia Seller..but I am able to accomodate that.

If anyone wants to SELL or BUY bitcoin in Malaysia... come contact me. Send me IC copy+License+MAYBANK Statement for KYC regulations. Otherwise if you are in Singapore FYBSG is a local based entity

I sell BitCoins

While many mine, sell rigs, Rent Rigs... I do the next best thing if you want to...
I can sell you BITCOINS.

Since I am an Exchanger, Miner, Service Provider, I should grant you the market share of BTC.
Also, I have loads of DOGE, SCOT and other currencies for change.

If you wish to BUY one Mining Rig, Please EMAIL ME.

I can also do you other stuff, for a fee of course.

BTC coins are sold as is, on the current market values based on iGot and you need to get me your correct WALLET ADDRESS. Proof of ID Required.

NEW SHENZEN AIRPORT

Folks, please disregard all info on the Shenzen Airport guides you have as it's outdated as the new terminal opened 3 months ago and I had a very bad time getting about.

International Arrivals is on LEVEL 1 aka GROUND. Fill up the yellow embarkation form and exit to the Ground Transport Center which is on the other building.

There are many shops and you will see a Starbucks there on the left. The old terminal is at AIRPORT EAST but new one is a distance away and you take the LUOHU Line (Green) Metro to Hui Rui. There is a shuttle bus to the terminal. Bus number is M416 and very crowded and these Mainland Chinese push and shove about and they have their manners kept in the ancestral homes up in the mountains. There is no fee to it.

From the GTC , there is a Shuttle to the Metro. It's ahead 12'o clock. Hours between 0700-2200 as the last trains leave about 2230.
Get a SHENZEN TONG aka Oyster/Octopus/EZLink whatever you call it back home. RMB100. The Single ticket machines accept only 5Yuan notes or COINS! Pain in the backside.

Town Shuttle to LuoHu cost about RMB20 or so. Its on your left if I am not mistaken
Bus to Hong Kong is on the right as there is a counter selling them.
Ferry to Macau and Hong Kong Airport is also around there.

Don't take the night flight home as if you arrive after 10, basically, you are screwed.

Taxis cost about RMB200 to LuoHu or about US$40. Red taxis operate where the Special Economic Zone is or about where you see any Metro Station. Anywhere outside, you need the GREEN Taxi.

If you go from Town / City Centre to visit a factory OUTSIDE THE ZONE, you need to alight at SHENZEN NORTH and change to a GREEN TAXI. Otherwise, I always take the Metro to the nearest to the area (usually Northwards to GuangZho from the lake, and Red Line) and get a Green Cab.

Costs is about US$1 or so a KM. So run a guide with Google Maps and you can see for yr self.

Shenzen is an expensive place now,trust me
