Why? Can Malaysian police be trusted?
Court frees Hong Kong man facing death on drug charge
PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court of Appeal freed a Hong Kong man on Friday, overturning his death sentence for alleged drug trafficking.
A three-judge panel of the country’s highest court ruled there was insufficient evidence to hang Chan King Yu, who was arrested for alleged possession of methamphetamine eight years ago while on a business trip in Malaysia.
He was sentenced to death by the High Court in 2002 after prosecutors said police found more than 20 pounds (9 kgs) of the drug in his hotel room in Kuala Lumpur during a raid two years earlier.
Chan's lawyer, Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, argued that police framed his client by breaking into his room and planting the drug.
On Friday, the court ruled that Chan should be acquitted because it was unclear whether he knew the drugs were in his room.
The judges also said previous court decisions had failed to take into account discrepancies in witness testimony.
"I'm of the view ... there is a clear fabrication of evidence,'' Judge Hashim Yusoff said in his ruling. He did not say if the police involved in the case should be investigated.
A police spokesman refused to comment on the verdict, saying he was not authorised to comment on a case like this.
"You know we can easily make a mistake,'' he said.- AP

America...!!! lalalalalalalala.....!!
ok, its really been a long time since i last posted anything in here. So dead and ppl probably dont bother clicking my links anymore. Probably deleted it already. But nvm, nvm..... move on,
Updates!
1.
My sister has a blog!! I dunno what went into her to start a blog in the middle of her exams but if u all wanna see it is here: http://theremedyofmylife.blogspot.com/
i dunno why she must take on that name for her blog but can she name i like.... celina blogs or i'mben'ssister.blogspot or something?
those of you who didnt knew i had a sister, your chance to run around and scream with ur hands in the air.
2.
I'm going back to America in Jan! Confirmed today! niceeeeee.... thats if oil companies aren't still taxed upside down so that people in America can live without a job, or just on a plain minimal work. Well whats the problem? Better create more bums than spending money on engineering training, right? or just build more abortion clinics, can make good money with 50 million Americans getting abortions each year while abortion wasnt fully legalised yet. think of it Obama.
3.
but actually, i'm already too lazy to blog bout American politics. You wanna read them you can always drop by Joel's or Cheah's blogs. ok lets see.... coming up for me this few weeks will be, KL, trip to PD, fishing trip, penang trip, annual dinner, youth camp, Christmas, then back to US. Will blog bout it when it seems interesting. I wont blog on everything again like what i used to do. It's really seems pretty damn LOA. So again, why people blog and what to blog in order to increase some sort of contribution to society's mindset?
4.
I dont know for sure. Correct me if i'm wrong, but blogs should be a tool to mainly propagate views, thinking and ideas.... a basic reasoning of responsible thoughts. Secondary would be just to upload pictures of a nice outing at a cupcake cafe to make all other readers feel like they lack the joy of life if they dont have a cupcake and in the same time taking pictures in cuddly groups show them eating cup cakes. It's really just an attempt to create a hype.
5.
Then why people often fail to identify hype from solid reasoning? Could hype lead to rash unjustified actions and irresponsible thinking and decisions? It was obvious that McCain has the best policy for the American situation but then, why not choose something interesting? Something "new and fueled by excitement", ok.... nvm the lack of experience, let's just have fun selling all morality issues to pro choices and feed the unemployed.
6.
Hype is dangerous. It's excitement without responsibility and most often comes with a heavy price. I enjoy being into hypes before and it's really good if you know that so many people are with you in it, moreover if you started it. But in all, then what values and character we hold out of this? Will youth camp 2008 be another hype and see youths come in the masses and then leave? Where is CY now for this standpoint?
7.
I've made a point. At lease there's a picture in this post. I still got charisma ok!

Of trial and error, do or die, pick up and go...
Same goes for everything else. There's always a first time to everything. If we don't try and give things a shot, we'll never discover something greater, instead, we'll just stuck stagnant.
Same goes for making decisions. Decisions that leads to consequences. If you are gonna sit and complain bout the world, then the world is against you. If you do nothing and suffer in silence, then you are a victim. If you summon your courage, stand up and actually do something about it, your're a hero.
It simple for us to watch these heros do great things, make changes and gather support for a cause. But we fail to realise how easy it is to be one. It's only easy if we have the guts, and too fed up with whats going on. Relying on one hero wont change much, but if heros rise for a better change, may it be in an organisation, then it really... i mean really easy.
Fact of the matter is, I keep reminding my self and the people around me that; if you are not willing to take a fall for somebody, dont expect anyone to take a fall for you.
You are just as good as who your mind limit you to be.I seriously ran out of pictures. Anyone wanna contribute some?

I'll say it again...
As mention in one of my very first post on Ben Blogs, I wanna boil down to why I ever bother about blogging back again? I seriously had thoughts of just giving up and reading other people’s blog but then it’s not the same. It’s different. Every blogger knows. It’s like iterating your life once more and keeping it in cyber memory so that it would be cherish in a long term manner. Blogging is somewhat same like saying I love you to your girlfriend after all the actions that you shown. You show it, then you say it. Then you say it again. It gets planted in the mind and touches the heart.
So there… you see blogging is a sort of affection. Affection don’t just stop at one sentence or action, but it goes a long way. You have to say it again, you have to do it again cause she love it. You can whisper it to her, you can write it down on a piece of paper for her, you can call her and say whatever magic comes to being when you talk to her. It’s like blogging. You say it again. It is just a little different with your girlfriend. It has to come from your heart, show that you are really there for her, appreciate her and let her know that she is the only one that could make every wrong thing right. Say it again…
