Malaysia - Another case of stupidity has no cure, another joke

 From Anwar warning to US$250m claim - what’s behind Malaysia’s response to Norway’s scrapped missile deal?

The strength of Malaysia’s case will depend on whether export approval was explicitly tied to delivery of the missiles, and what remedies exist if a sovereign government blocks the transfer, says an analyst.

KUALA LUMPUR: Putrajaya’s RM1 billion (US$251.5 million) claim against a Norwegian defence company shows it is maintaining pressure on Oslo after the Scandinavian country unilaterally halted delivery of crucial naval missiles to Malaysia under a previously agreed contract, analysts say.

The notice of demand came after Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim last week slammed Norway’s move to cancel export of its naval strike missiles (NSM), which were intended to equip Malaysia’s upcoming littoral combat ships (LCS).  CNA

After so many centuries of being controlled and duped by the white men, believing in white men's rule of law that applies only to daft coloured people, and this is happening again. Malaysia, like many developing countries, stuck with the colonial mentality and white men is the best, honourable, will play by the rule, bought missiles from Norway believing every word the white men said, and every word in the contract. Now the white men tore away the contract, refused to deliver, what can Malaysia do? Hopefully the money is not all paid upfront. Normally this is how white men deal with hungry and begging to buy white men stuff, will do to coloured developing countries. They know that these developing countries are hardup for white men stuff, pay upfront or else no contract.

And Malaysia is now trying to go the legal way, thinking that white men's law will be objective and impartial and they can win a legal case against Norway, to get the missiles it bought, or at least money back. Who is putting a break on this deal? No need to guess. But Malaysia, like all developing countries, will not want to know, thinking it is a level playing field, transparency and all is fair and square under the law.

What is the best response for Malaysia? Stop being daft, stop believing in white men. Money paid is gone, the missiles will not be delivered. White men still rule over the coloured people, in their thinking, in their minds, that white men is sikit atas, actually semua atas in the eyes of colonised minds.

Operation Kill Iranians - The ceasefire will be a disaster for Iran and Iranians

 The temporary ceasefire is exactly what the American and Israeli terrorists wanted, to be able to fly and sail near to Iranian shore without being fired upon, and to rush in and finish off Iran at their own time. Trump has threatened to end everything in Iran almost everyday. Do not take this as a joke. The first few days of saturated attacks on Iran failed with Iranian assets and facilities deep down in the mountains. The American and Israeli terrorists need more than bunker busters to reach their targets and need more powerful and deadly weapons. And this ceasefire is allowing them just to do that, bring in the big ones to finish off Iran and the Iranians.

The reported nuclear explosion in Israel is a deadly warning to Iran of what is coming. Iran did not claim to have attacked the nuclear facility. Speculations were that it could be a sabotage or Israel testing a tactical nuclear bomb but got out of control, and the mushroom popped up in Israel, with populated cities nearby. A mushroom cloud means dangerous radioactivity around the site with several kilometre radius, like a overblown Chernobyl or Fukushima. So far no declaration of emergency and evacuation from Israel. Silence! This must be the safest radioactive free nuclear bomb for sure. A detonation in open space must have its casualties and consequences. A nuclear explosion must have radioactive fallouts.

The test may be out of control, to be released into the atmosphere around populated areas. But it is still successfully detonated. Iran beware! This is coming for Natanz or Isfahan, maybe even Tehran or other Iranian cities. This is what Trump is warning about. Trump knows what the Israelis are planning. And with the ceasefire in force, this is unstoppable. The aircraft can fly close to Iranian borders and send the nuclear bombs into Iran, giving Iran no time to react. Once the bombs are released, it will be too late to take them down. And the Israeli terrorists will release them at Iran, believing that the Americans would have to come to their aid at all cost. This is the dangerous assumption that makes the Israeli terrorists behaving wildly, like savages. The only way to stop this is for the Americans to tell the Israelis that America will not back them if the Israelis use nuclear bombs. Israel has no capacity to take over the Middle East without the American terrorists. Would the Americans allow Israel to drag them into a nuclear war with Russia and China?

Iranians are living precariously and their lives hanging on a thread, at the mercy of the American and Israeli terrorists. This is very serious, a clear and present danger for Iran. A situation that the American and Israeli duped the Iranians into, with their defences down. With the ceasefire in force, there is nothing the Iranians can do about stopping it. Without the ceasefire, American and Israeli warplanes and warships cannot get close to Iran. Now the Iranian hands are tied, cannot fire when the warplanes and warships, with nuclear weapons, come close to Iranian borders to deliver their nuclear bombs, giving the Iranians no time to react.

The ceasefire is a deadly trap, an existential trap for the Iranians. Poor gullible Iranians being prepared for the slaughter by the American and Israeli terrorists. The American and Israeli terrorists can nuke Iran anytime, on a moment's notice!!!!

PS.  TEHRAN: Iran's army warned on Tuesday (May 19) it would "open new fronts" against the United States if it resumes attacks, after President Donald Trump said he had held off launching a new offensive in hopes of striking a deal.

The warning came amid a shaky ceasefire in place since Apr 8, with Washington and Tehran exchanging proposals in an effort to end the Middle East war, which began on Feb 28. CNA

The Iranians are crazy, as good as being stupid. If the American and Israeli terrorists nuke Iran, there is no chance, no second chance to hit back. Everything will be gone. Natanz, Isfahan and many underground facilities will be gone!

Lansi Technology founder Zhou Qunfei...honoured to sit between Musk and Cook in Xi Trump state banquet

At this U.S. visit to China dinner banquet, the most eye-catching figure in the prime center seat between Musk and Cook was Lansi Technology founder Zhou Qunfei—from a rural factory girl to China's richest woman, with absolutely no background to rely on, building everything from scratch through her own grit. She was born in a small village in Hunan Province. At age 5, her mother passed away, and her father became disabled and blind from a work injury, leaving the family in dire poverty with nothing to their name. At 16, unable to afford school fees, she was forced to drop out and head to Guangdong to work in a factory, grinding glass on the assembly line—working days away during the day and furiously self-studying at night, earning certifications in accounting, computer operations, and other skills. That's how she spent a few years, until she scraped together 20,000 yuan from her wages, rallied eight relatives including her brother, sister, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law, and started a small workshop in Shenzhen doing watch glass processing. She handled machine repairs and sales runs single-handedly, grinding away like that for another four years.

By the 2000s, the mobile phone industry began booming on a massive scale. By a stroke of luck, her watch glass factory landed an order for TCL phone screens. She spotted the huge potential in the phone glass market and quickly founded Lansi Technology, specializing in the production, R&D, and sales of phone glass. At first, they only handled domestic phones and knockoffs, but everything changed when she went after a Motorola order—foreign companies had insanely strict quality standards. She bet nearly all her resources to meet Motorola's demands and snagged the V3 order, which sold over 100 million units worldwide, catapulting Lansi Technology straight to industry leadership. From there, she smoothly secured deals with Nokia, Samsung, and other foreign giants.

The pivotal turning point hit again in 2007, when Jobs unveiled the first iPhone, revolutionizing phones toward full-glass touchscreens. Jobs' obsessive craftsmanship demands left the whole world scrambling for a supplier that could meet them. Zhou Qunfei keenly sensed this was another massive opportunity, so she led her team in a three-month joint push with Apple engineers, breaking through key processes to mass-produce the first-generation iPhone glass panels. That locked in a long-term Apple contract, and soon after, nearly all Apple gear—from iPads to MacBooks—went to Lansi Technology for production. It also propelled Lansi to become the world's top player in touch glass panels.

That's why she got to sit next to Cook. But why was Musk right there beside her too?

After dominating global glass panels, Lansi Technology branched into more diverse smart devices, including car cockpits and robots. In autos, they've already locked in deals with 30 carmakers like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, and Li Auto for windows, center consoles, and more. In robotics, they handle joints, sensors, and other components—areas with deep overlap in Musk's businesses.

A girl who dropped out at 15 with just a junior high diploma, emerging from rural Hunan to build an empire from nothing and become China's richest woman—forty years later, stepping into U.S.-China talks, seated between Musk and Cook. That's Zhou Qunfei's story.

This shown that it's not necessary to have degrees and all.sorts of papers qualifications to be smart and.innovative!

Be SMART in your common sense and able to seize opportunities when arises with foresight and 🧠 brains

China in the process of making better chips than H200

The Huawei story did not register in the brains of the hillbillies. Sanctions against Huawei did not work, despite even rallying the doggies to do the same to Huawei. Huawei was to show the middle finger to the USA and its doggies by becoming even more self-sufficient and prospering. Huawei is now even making its own chips and EVs.

Trying to strangle China using Nvidia chips is exactly the same mistake being made by the USA against Huawei. When Trump refused to sell top end Nvidia chips to China, it just made China more determined to overcome the problem by attempting to make its own, now even intent on cutting off China's tech firms from using Nvidia chips. The message from the Chinese Government was clear enough, that if Chinese tech firms can find alternative domestically made chips, import of foreign chips will be curtailed. That message probably gave Jensen Huang sleepless nights.

Trump thought he was playing the winning card, trying to project a semblance of having the upper hand by giving permission to Nvidia to go ahead to sell H20 and H200 chips to China. China did not even take up the offer, excusing itself by citing its fear of backdoors in those chips, apart from other reasons. But the harm had already been done, and China has put in place restrictions to prevent Nvidia H20 and now H200 chips to be sold on the Chinese market. Nvidia can sell those chips to McDonalds, while Trump can add them to his bumper burger orders like potato chips.

Jensen Huang made a wasted trip to China. The market for Nvidia chips in China is gone for good. It is not temporary. It is permanent.

Iran is the 'I" in BRICS. China needs Iran in BRICS

Now there is a propaganda campaign trying to sour relations between China and Iran, claiming that China is throwing Iran under the bus, as a bargaining chip that the USA might likely do the same over Taiwan. But Taiwan is already part of China and cannot be used as a bargaining chip by the USA. China will never agree. Anyway, that has still not been established, as Trump is still looking at the sale of weapons to Taiwan and the need to convince the war-hawks in Washington.

China is not going to betray Iran over Taiwan for sure. The Taiwan issue can fester for another 76 years, and China can sit around and wait. The Chinese are very patient people. After all, China already tolerated the Taiwan issue since 1949 without attempting to attack the island. All that threat from China against Taiwan is just a figment of the imagination of the war-hawks in Washington. In any case, Xi has warned Trump that the Taiwan red line must never be crossed. Few words, but clear and unambiguous. Trump, I think, got the message and has warned Taiwan not to think about independence. What will the next USA President do is beyond us to anticipate. The further sale of weapons to Taiwan is a sticky issue. Let us see what happens next.
