Graphic showing the path of Wednesday's total solar eclipse across Asia and the Pacific. The longest solar eclipse of the 21st century plunged millions across Asia into temporary darkness, triggering scenes of religious fervour, fear and excitement in India and China.The longest solar eclipse of the 21st century created near darkness soon after dawn in a swath of India stretching from the west coast to the northern plains where millions gathered in the open to watch.

A thick cloud cover over India that had obscured the sun when the eclipse began at dawn parted in several cities, minutes before the total eclipse caused when the moon covers the sun completely to cast a shadow on earth at 6.24 a.m. (0054 GMT).

At its peak, the eclipse lasted 6 minutes and 39 seconds in other parts of Asia.
It is the longest such eclipse since July 11, 1991, when a total eclipse lasting 6 minutes, 53 seconds was visible from Hawaii to South America. There will not be a longer eclipse than Wednesday's until 2132.

This event is going to be the longest total eclipse of this century and the longest seen in India since Aug 18, 1868. The next total eclipse in the country takes place on Jun 3, 2114.

FX Capital Director Charged

Woman faces trial over RM5m
The nst 2009/07/17

KUALA LUMPUR: A businesswoman claimed trial to three counts of money-laundering involving some RM5 million at the Sessions Court yesterday.

Raja Noor Asma Raja Harun, 47, the director of a trading company, FX Capitals Consultants Sdn Bhd, was charged with having in her possession the proceeds from unlawful activities at three different banks.

Raja Noor Asma allegedly had in her possession RM2 million in a client's account under the company at the RHB Investment Bank Bhd in Jalan Tun Razak and RM3.3 million at Kenanga Deutsche Futures Sdn Bhd in Jalan Sultan Ismail.

On the third charge, she was accused of possessing RM15,901.93 in a savings account at the CIMB Bank Bhd in Pandan Jaya.

The offences were allegedly committed on May 9, last year. This was the second time Raja Noor Asma was hauled to court.

Last December, she was charged by the Securities Commission with four counts of cheating and operating an investment scheme involving RM100 million without a valid licence between Feb 5, 2007, and May 9, 2008.

She also faced an alternative charge of cheating clients by operating a scheme dealing in futures contracts without a valid licence.

Raja Noor Asma was released on RM300,000 bail.The court also fixed five days for trial beginning Jan 25, next year.

In yesterday's case, DPP G. Jaya Prem proposed bail at RM1 million in one surety.

Raja Noor Asma's counsel Datuk Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, in pleading for lower amount, said the three charges she faced yesterday was related to her earlier charges.

He applied that the previous bail sum be utilised for this case as well. Judge Rozana Ali Yusoff allowed Shafee's application. She set Sept 10 for mention.

Raja Noor Asma is also expected to face 47 charges under the same Act in the Shah Alam Sessions Court soon.

Note: My friend and his group had invested in the company's CPO trading, futures and options... started in Q407 but the co busted by BNM and SC by Q208... and charges with more than 50 offences...

Another Joke

1. Catch The Rabbit

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.

The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.

The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.

The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"

2. Survivor

The rescue team finds the crashed airplane. The lone survivor is chewing on a bone, with a huge pile of human bones next to him, and the rescuers are shocked. He says, "You can't judge me for this. I had to survive." The leader of the rescue team says, "But, man... your plane only went down yesterday."

3. Twin

One sunny day in Ireland, two men were sitting in a pub, drinking some Guinness, when one turns to the other and says "You see that man over there? He looks just like me! I think I'm gonna go over there and talk to him." So, he goes over to the man and taps him on the shoulder. "Excuse me sir," he starts, "but I noticed you look just like me!" The second man turns around and says "Yeah, I noticed the same thing, where you from?", "I'm from Dublin",

Second man stunned says, "Me too! What street do you live on?", "McCarthy street", second man replies, "Me too! What number is it?", the first man announces, "162", second man shocked says, "Me too! What are your parents names?", first man replies, "Connor and Shannon", second man awestruck says, "Mine too! This is unbelievable!"

So, they buy some more Guinness and they're talking some more when the bartenders change shifts. The new bartender comes in and goes up to the other bartender and asks "What's new today?" "Oh, the Murphy twins are drunk again."

ANGKASA... ANGKASA WHAT?

Something is rotten in Angkasa

Angkasa - the National Cooperative Organisation of Malaysia - should put its house in order, before raising uncalled-for arguments to hide its shortcomings. Likewise its veiled threats have to stop.

Angkasa has not consulted the views of the cooperatives at large on the major amendments to the Cooperative Act 1993 and the implementation of the Cooperative Commission Act. It is a blatant abuse of their representation to the government.

They have created chaos in the cooperative movement, which consists of over 6,000 cooperatives with a membership of over 6 million members, or about 15 million if family members are included. This has led to these organisations to seek legal recourse.

Angkasa must realise that its carelessness in handling the issue has triggered a constitutional matter. Blaming Royal Professor Ungku Aziz and shifting blame for the mistake is unethical. Lessons have to be learned that whatever decisions taken is a collective responsibility of all the board members.

It is a well-known fact that contracts were awarded to a company which has self-interest in the project, and the contracts were approved without costing. This is totally unacceptable. Even the Cooperative Development Department, when informed of this negligence, swept it under the carpet.

The investigated shortcomings in Angkasa highlighted by the then director-general of the Cooperative Development Department bears testimony of its mismanagement. It is hoped that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission would expedite its investigation and bring the matter to rest.

The Angkasa directors should be suspended immediately and a director of operations be appointed to resuscitate the ailing cooperative sector.
