The Incredibles (M) Sdn Bhd

I'm sure many of mGf and families have had the joy and luxury of watching THE INCREDIBLES on the big screen.
Desio was too bee-sy earning B&B with some kaya thrown in occasionally, so I missed the golden opportunity.
The Hollywood production enriches the minds of the audience -- especially the YoungOnes -- with "incredible" powers of their childhood heroes all working in concert to overcome "evel"
Yes, it's the fable storyline that GOOD WILL TRIUMPH OVER EVIL.
A fairy tale ending.

But some generous and responsible and diligent Malaysians have produced an alternative -- but it's far from that Good Triumphs Over Evil storyboard line.
It's even more incredible when Creatures from that RUMAHssParlimen to entertain us with spins that can only ciome out of Yes! Mollywood, courtesy of THE INCREDIBLES (M) SDN BHD.

The first instalment created by BinYu Sof Enterprise comes at the generosity of the Scriptwriter-cum-honourable MP for Jasin, DATUK MOHD SAID YUSOF (IC: 530424045447) registered at house address at 676-A, Batu 2-1/2, Padang Temu, 75050 Malacca.
Mark his name, he will surely win OsScars to bring Malaysia up into the International Arena of Stars. AMIR MUHAMMAD, getyour Commie out of the Malaysian stage! Lelaki Komunis Terakhir, my foot.

Case of the MP who asked Customs to close one eye

ENTERPRISE

Jasin MP admits he is the owner of *company

(Binyu Sof ENTERPRISE)

11 May 2006


KUALA LUMPUR:
It’s no coincidence — Binyu Sof Enterprise is indeed a company owned by Jasin MP Datuk Mohd Said Yusof.

In an open admission at a Press conference in the lobby of Parliament yesterday, the Malacca politician said he was the sole proprietor of the company which transported a consignment of imported logs seized by Customs last month.

This directly answered a poser front-paged by the New Straits Times yesterday over the similarity between his and the company’s names.

The controversy arose since NST broke the story on Thursday of an MP who had tried to interfere with the work of the Malacca Customs, which had seized a consignment of timber that exceeded specifications.

Mohd Said said he had also apologised to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on Tuesday night over the matter, but maintained he had done no wrong as "MPs are allowed to do business".

Mohd Said said the question of whether he was prepared to face punishment did not arise because the Umno supreme council had discussed the matter and concluded that "there was no case".

He had earlier admitted he was the one who went to the Malacca Customs office on April 14 to ask officers to "close one eye" over the seized timber.

"I am the sole proprietor. It is my forwarding company. I have, from the start, declared my interest in this company. I have never hidden my interest," he said, although he maintained that the consignment of logs seized was not his.

"I have no interest in the logs or the companies which brought them into the country. Binyu Sof only acted as a forwarding agent."

Mohd Said could not name the companies offhand, but said his company acted for one "Ah Chooi at the Sungai Rambai port and Daud in Sungai Linggi".

"We are a small company. Our office is like a petition writer’s office... small. I have interest in both ports as a forwarding agent. I don’t deny my interest in this matter as a forwarding agent. I am allowed to do business. Why can’t MPs do business?"

Mohd Said took exception to a remark from a Customs officer in yesterday’s NST report that it was not proper for an MP to help smugglers.

"How can I be accused of helping smugglers? The sawn timber was declared to the Customs. How can you say that these people are smugglers? Smugglers are those who run away from Customs, not those who seek Customs."

Reading intermittently from his prepared statement and taking questions from time to time, Mohd Said said he had gone to Malacca Customs to ask the director to "close one eye" to the import of sawn timber exceeding the size limit of 60 square inches in cross-section.

"I went there after Sungai Rambai importers, timber traders, jetty operators and forwarding agents came to my office to complain about the seizure," he said, pointing out that the group was a mix of Bumiputeras and non-Bumiputeras.

Mohd Said said since the start of the year, the Customs Department had been strictly enforcing the rule and trade players were unhappy as their sawn timber shipments were being seized and auctioned off.

Mohd Said said he had gone to the Malacca Customs headquarters in Ayer Keroh on April 14 and the meeting lasted 20 minutes.

"I went to meet the director as I would do whenever there was a problem. I went as Mohd Said, the owner of Binyu Sof and Jasin MP. The problem occurred in my constituency. I admit I am one of the players at the port. I admit I have interest. What’s wrong with that?"

Mohd Said said the director met him and asked him what the problem was. "He called the assistant director in the prevention unit and the three of us discussed the problem. They told me they were enforcing the rule put in place by the Malaysian Timber Industry Board."

Mohd Said said he then appealed to them to consider the matter and compound those who broke the law.

"I appealed to them to just compound. If Customs seized the timber, the traders lose their investment and would have to fork out more money to buy back the timber at the auction.

"If the situation at both ports continue, the Indonesian barter traders will not go there anymore. It will turn the ports into a white elephant."

Mohd Said said this was when he asked the officers to "close one eye" and take into consideration that the sawn timber, though bigger, was hollow in the middle.

"I only asked them to compound and not seize the consignment."

Mohd Said said he also appealed to the Deputy Finance Minister on behalf of the other traders.

"However, the appeal was rejected and the entire consignment was auctioned off."

Asked if Abdullah had called him over the issue, Mohd Said said: "I met the PM last night (Tuesday). I saw him at the PWTC. I met him. I shook hands with him. I told him, if I was wrong, I am sorry."

Asked what the Prime Minister had said to him, Mohd Said said: "That, you ask him, lah."

DESIDERATA:
This INCREDIBLE MP still wants to justify his "bluff" when he had been caught with his pants down.

~~~"Mohd Said could not name the companies offhand, but said his company acted for one "Ah Chooi at the Sungai Rambai port and Daud in Sungai Linggi".

Today we know, thanks to THE NST! that the Yang Berhormat Jasin MP was acting for himself, his own ENTERPRISE.
Some people only know how to shit, but forget they also talk bull!

Look at his twists and turns -- how did UMNO nominate such a guy in the first place to stand for erections, oops, ELECTIONS? To wit, amore:

~~~"Mohd Said said the question of whether he was prepared to face punishment did not arise because the Umno supreme council had discussed the matter and concluded that "there was no case".

Hey,MP of Jasin -- "That" was before the FACT was unearthed by THE NST that YOU LIED WHEN YOU CLAIMED YOU WERE REPRESENTED A FELLOW BUSINESSMAN IN APPEALING TO THER LMALACCA CUSTOMS TO 'CLOSE AN EYE'! Now let's see what Pak Lah will do as UMNO President to an Incredible who told a BLASTANT LIE.

Like he was such a responsible MP acting for the interests of his constituents. My foot! (Oh, it aches!)

~~~"Asked if Abdullah had called him over the issue, Mohd Said said: "I met the PM last night (Tuesday). I saw him at the PWTC. I met him. I shook hands with him. I told him, if I was wrong, I am sorry."

Pak Lah, just use those famaous words of the visitor from the US recently in KL City, from The Apprentice: "You're Fired!"
~~ Donald Trump


For recall, Act 1, Scene 1 last Thursday opened with~~~

CLOSE
one
eye

Eyes
wide
SHUT


Shall we proceed to Act 1, Scene 3 to the Scriptwriter's Residence?
We await the NST instalment's tomorrow.
Perhaps the country's CEO will make his grand entry?
Put THE END to the credits before Malaysia really proves
top the 'hole wide worlde that SOME MALAYSIANS in deed still
LIVE ON TOWN HOUSES BUILT ON SWAYING COCONUT TREES?
Incredible isn't it, that the PROOF COMES WITH THE PUDDING MADE BY THAT AUGUST HOWSE!


From page 4, NST~~~


Firm’s address is MP’s home

MALACCA: Details of Jasin MP Datuk Mohd Said Yusof’s interests in Binyu Sof Enterprise were obtained through a check with the Companies Commission of Malaysia.

The company is a sole proprietorship registered under Mohd Said bin Yusof (IC: 530424045447), with a house address at 676-A, Batu 2 1/2, Padang Temu, 75050 Malacca.

A further check with the Malacca Government 2006 official diary, which lists the names, designations, addresses and contact numbers of all elected representatives and government offices, found that Jasin MP Mohd Said lives at the same address.

Binyu Sof Enterprise was set up on Nov 20, 2000, as an electrical, mechanical and construction contractor, a shipping and forwarding agent, and a commission agent.

Also listed among the company’s businesses are ship painting services; cleaning services for buildings, gardens, roads and pools; water piping and component maintenance; heavy machinery, tug-boat, ferry and marine services; and parking and sand-blasting services.

DESIDERATA: A first worlde resume spelt out in the last para that would make any White House occupant go red with envy.
No wonder our country provides CEO's terms that can go on indefinitely when the most powerfool person in the 'hol;e wilde worlde can only fool us for max: TWO TERMS totalling 8 years.

I end with a prayer for NegaraKu:

R.I.P.

Desi, I have taken the liberty to amend some parts (in brackets) of William Shakespeare's sonnet 137 here:-

Thou blind fool, (Greed), what dost thou to mine eyes,
That they behold, and see not what they see?
They know what (ugliness) is, see where it lies,
Yet what the best is take the worst to be.
If eyes, corrupt by over-partial looks,
Be anchor'd in the bay where all men ride,
Why of eyes' falsehood hast thou forged hooks,
Whereto the judgement of my heart is tied?
Why should my heart think that a several plot
Which my heart knows the wide world's common place?
Or mine eyes, seeing this, say this is not,
To put fair truth upon so foul a face?
In things right true my heart and eyes have erred,
And to this false plague are they now transferred.
********

We shall await more back-tracking, side-stepping and slippery moves from the medicine man.

Let's hope this arrogant lying piece of sh*t becomes history. The Director of Customs should be given a letter of commendation signed by the other piece of gutless, mindless piece of sh*t.

Thou proveth true that May is a poets' rendezwoo
Whence wistful yet wise words doth flow
Shakespeare's sonnet beguile us with lessons true
Of human frailties especially of seemingly august minds but shallow

maybe Negaraku heads south where the bridge leaads us nowhere
but brave souls must stay,
and dream,
and dare
