As reported today,19 November 2014 : AirAsia X, the long-haul low-cost carrier, saw its share price fall to a record low of 65 sen on Wednesday after it sank deeper into the red with net losses of RM210.95mil in the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2014. At 4.23pm, it was down 4.5 sen to 65.5 sen. There were 48.98 million shares done at prices ranging from 65 sen to 71.5 sen. As reported on Sahathevan Blogspot, 22 July 2013: Monday, July 22, 2013 Air Asia X worth between 50-70 sen according to Fernandes, 25-40 sen according to Branson Maybank's "stabilization" of  Air Asia X's share price,  which has not moved beyond the RM 1.25 IPO price  , expires in about 2 weeks. AAX's Bursa filings  make  clear that Maybank's support is what keeps the price at even RM 1.25, thus raising the inevitable :what happens in  2 weeks , or less   , when the price is no longer supported? Given recent past valuations of the company, based on transactions by company insider...

First see article below Then, this e xcerpt: (On Tuesday 22 July, 2 days after MAS denied MH 17 has gone  off-course ), the embassy played a footage of a briefing by the  Russian Ministry of Defence, citing its radar evidence on  Ukrainian troop  positions a few days before, during and after  MH17 was shot down.    Its findings revealed that MH17 diverted off course for  about 14km, before trying to reach the safe air corridor .  It also disclosed positions  where Ukraine’s Buk missile system  (the missile platform believed to have shot down MH17) was  located  within a 20km radius. http://www.theedgemalaysia. com/political-news/299840- russia-maintains-silence-on- deal-with-separatists.html And next: Pilots' group president says MH17 shot down after attempt to avoid storms Malaysia Airlines plane was flying lower than planned and may have diverted on to more northerly course over Donetsk Bodies of MH17 passengers stored i...

While Malaysian authorities have rightly argued that MAS is not alone in flying that route over Ukraine, the statistics displayed below suggest  the  question that  should be asked is  why only MH 17 was shot down. The diagram below is of airlines and their aircraft that transited that route in the week before the incident.  As the diagram shows, there were almost twice as many Aeroflot flights on that route as there were MAS flights. Singapore Airlines is the next most frequent. The question then , what was it that made MH 17 stand out from the rest? Did this reported diversion from the norm trigger the  BUK's target acquisition  system? A total of six targets can be engaged simultaneously by a BUK  battery while they are flying on different bearings and at different altitudes and ranges. A typical battery comprises a Command Post (CP) vehicle, a Target Acquisition Radar (TAR) vehicle and six Self-Propelled Mounts (SPMs) that act as the launcher...

A  complaint was sent  Michael   Dell , CEO,  Dell  Inc, about a RM 2,200 Dell  laptop which had been purchased in Malaysia and brought back to my home in Sydney. The laptop was hardly used, and even then at home( ie little if any wear and tear from moving around). Yet,just after about 15 months of use it longer readily boots. While the warranty period was 12 months Australian laws, as do Malaysian, actually require that manufacturers of goods repair free of charge if not replace products that are not of merchantable quality, and/or do not meet standards of durability. The response from  Michael   Dell , via his officers in Australia, when questioned on the matter of durability is as follows:  For a low end system that has had no services or support requests in over a year and a half, I would  say  that this quality is exemplary. I will leave it to all of you to determine if Malaysians would consider RM 2200 "low end", and in a...

The pathways between the East and West coast of the peninsular ,from the Bujang Valley are clearer in this enhancement. A path from Penang to Sungai Patani  ,and then to Yala, navigating a narrow strip of higher ground, seems evident.

Dear Friends I was alerted to the possible existence of an ancient trade route that may have connected the Merbok and Patani rivers. While routes of type may no longer be visible to the naked eye, and on site, an enhanced terrain image can highlight pathways that have long been hidden by sediment and vegetation. The image below is an attempt to make these pathways more visible, and as one can see , there are in fact formations in the central ranges  connecting a number of rivers that flow east and west.
