Don't Be Conned!

Yes, this syndicate or similar syndicates had been operating since 2009-so said those people from Bukit Aman.

I got a call from the syndicate just about 30 minutes ago.

This is how it went.

"Hello! This is Bukit Aman. Inspector Lee here. Is that Mr. ABC?"

" Yes....."

Conversation turned into Chinese.

" Saya tak faham....." I replied.

The line then went cold.

The number of the caller was 03-2266 2222.

For the uninitiated, Bukit Aman is the Police HQ of the Malaysian Royal Police Force. From reading some of the blogs of those who had received similar calls, apparently, they will cajoled you with some stories of money laundering and put the apparent proverbial fear into you that somehow you or your loved ones are involved as some of your documents have been found with the so-called money laundering syndicate.

According the the blogs, if you phone that number on your hand-phone using the land-line, you will reach Bukit Aman. However, if you use the hand phone instead, you will reach the syndicate which was marking you for a con.

So, how did they do it?

One theory is that the syndicate have people in both Celcom and Telekom Malaysia who are technically speaking, helping them in the rip-off.

So, watch out and do not feel dismayed if you should receive such a call.

Halelujah! Praise the Lord!

It has been a long saga. from deciding to send our daughter to do a professional course way back in 2007 and to see its eventual end today.

Praise the Lord for this day. It is the day that my daughter transit from the world as a formal accounting student into the real  world of  bean counting.

We have seen God's favour upon us as we uphold his Holy Name. Yes, a milestone for the family and for my daughter in particular. As the good Book says, if God is for you, who can be against you. Neither circumstances, powers and principalities if you have the spirit, armour and sword of  God.

We thank the Lord for the joy he is bringing into our home.

Amen.

Goodbye Gorky of Old

The legendary Gorky Park is no longer sacrosanct.  It has been included into a development programme to make over  and to modernise the landscape so as to make it attractive.

In the picture, a couple danced near the Moscow River in celebration of the checkered glory of the park's  halcyon days.
