The Delhi Belly actor who has always flaunted a thin and natural look has been asked by his director Bhardwaj to bulk up for Matru Ke Bijli Ka Mandola. Vishal Bhardwaj is known to be a demanding director who wants his leads to look the part be it Langda Tyagi (Saif Ali Khan) in Omkara or Charlie Sharma (Shahid Kapoor) in Kaminey.
This time he has asked Imran Khan to bulk up to play a rustic Haryanvi lad from the North. The young actor claims he is going to do it in a healthy manner and is steering clear of all supplements. He is gorging on all kinds of food items though and is working with his trainer to reach the target. The Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na actor is facing some hurdles because of his metabolism which keeps him naturally thin. He is also steering clear of steroids and other artificial muscle-builders which can help increase muscle mass short term but has some serious psychiatric and physical side-effects. All we can say he doesn’t need to look too far for inspiration, considering it was his maternal uncle Aamir Khan, who took the ripped look to the next level with his Ghazni 8 pack physique. It’ll be interesting to see Imran in this new look after his chocolate boy look in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and the edgy journo portrayal in Delhi Belly.
It is really a sad state of iaffars what Badawi and the so-called UMNO did and are doing to Mahatir and to all Malaysians. It is a sad state of iaffars when it takes the rest of the world to acknowledge Mahatir’s contributions, but not his own kind in his country.Are they afraid of Mahatir? They must be, to discredit him and not let him speak – they don’t want the truth to come out; which is that the Malays are being hoodwinked (Khairy and his race issue, when all else fails, as a distractor)and yet they still allow Badawi and his cunning son-in-law to get away with the crap they have !Wake up! See what your government is doing to you. They are draining the country and selling it off to the highest bidder, to line their own pockets.As another reader suggested – see how many Malay millionaires there are recently – especially cronies of Badawi and Khairy and you’ll see the most corrupted people around!I have never in all my years, seen the Malays, with their so-called special status, screwing their own kind! Usually they are screwing the Chinese and Indians to get anywhere – (it must be the crutches they are so used to, since they are afterall handicapped !)So now they allow the S’poreans and/or anyone else who can pay the price of Badawi adn Khairy, to screw the Malaysians.And where is the Press – in the pockets of Khairy and Badawi. It is truly a joke that Kalimulah (where did he do his journalism?)a pseudo Malay, is kissing Khairy’s and Badawi’s ass to get his share of the pie too by the censored crap NST puts out to make Badawi and his jokes have a voice!What a joke!I say, we let the Chinese run the country, look at S’pore – we may be better off anyway, since Badawi and Khairy have practically sold the country to them anyway. What is left over can be sold to the Japanese and to the Americans. In exchange, we get Japanese cars for fruits that we send them. That’s another joke – we get cars which people can’t afford especially with the price of gas now, while the price of food that they could afford is now not available because it is exported and so what is left will cost more! I think all Malaysians need to band together and get rid of the current Badawi government.
this nondescript ftraocy on the outskirts of Malaysia’s largest city was, in fact, churning out components for Libya’s nuclear weapons program.Malaysia has become the latest nation caught in a widening investigation into the global black market in nuclear know-how and equipment, triggered by Pakistan’s admission that its top nuclear scientist, Abdul Qadeer Khan, sold technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea.Managers at the Malaysian ftraocy owned by Scomi Precision Engineering, or SCOPE, opened their doors to journalists Friday in an effort to prove their contribution to nuclear proliferation – if any – was unwitting.The case raises questions about export and trade regulations on “dual-use” items, components for illegal technology that are indistinguishable from common machine parts to all but the experts.”To me, they were just normal parts,” said Che Lokman Che Omar, manager of the SCOPE ftraocy. “I have been using these machines for 15 years, and I have made many more difficult parts.”Around him, technicians worked on tooling machines, carving precision edges onto bits of aluminum and stainless steel destined for car parts and industrial tubing.Four months ago, according to the CIA and Britain’s MI6, similar parts were found in boxes marked with SCOPE’s name aboard a ship bound for Libya. Investigators say the parts were for centrifuges, machines that can be used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons production.The government rejected CIA Director George Tenet’s assertion that SCOPE was one of the largest plants servicing a nuclear black market.”To say it is the largest part of a network is totally inaccurate,” a government official said on condition of anonymity. “It is coming from a CIA director who is discredited – he screwed up the intelligence going into Iraq.”Malaysian police said SCOPE built its Shah Alam ftraocy to fill an order from the Dubai-based Gulf Technical Industries, which negotiated a $3.4 million contract through a Sri Lankan middleman named B.S.A. Tahir.Between December 2002 and August 2003, SCOPE shipped four consignments to Gulf Technical, according to SCOPE’s parent company, the Scomi Group.Using designs from the customer, SCOPE made 14 parts from high-grade stainless steel and aluminum obtained from the Singapore branch of a German supplier, Che Lokman said. He said that 15 Malaysian contractors did the work and that their employment terminated when the contract was filled.Scomi group spokeswoman Rohaida Ali Badaruddin said the Gulf company never told SCOPE what the parts were for, and SCOPE never asked.”We make sure we are indemnified against any illegal activity in the contract,” Rohaida said, but the company makes no background checks of clients or inquires about the end-use of products it makes.Rohaida said SCOPE complied with government regulations in shipping the parts found in the Libya-destined crates. Although an export permit is required for “sensitive items,” none was sought in this case because nothing appeared out of the ordinary, she said.National Police Chief Mohamed Bakri Omar said his Special Branch started investigating the Tahir-arranged deal after the CIA the MI6 informed them about the Libya shipment last November.www.columbiatribune.com/2…ews019.asp
Aisehman is confused, too, and has got enistqous of his own.Aisehman isnt alone. Many are also confused. I aint no economist. But someone with the handle BigGuyDotCom at forum.mykmu.net explained it as:-******************************* Betul harga saham ECM Libra semasa Khairy beli ialah RM0.71*, TETAPI masa itu, modal terkumpul ECM Libra berapa? Sekarang ini, lepas pegabungan, berapa modal terkumpul? 3 kali ganda. Maknanya saham syarikat ECM Libra Avenue 800 plus juta saham. Setakat turun 6-7 sen sesaham, pegangan turun dari 9% ke 4.3% TETAPI kalau modal terkumpul meningkat 3 kali ganda lebih, tak untung ka???? Nota kaki* : Saham ECM Libra di’naik’an dari nilai RM 0.70 dalam masa AMAT SINGKAT ke RM 1.06 dimana harga digunakan sebagai nilai untuk dijadikan asas perbincangan pegabungan antara ECM Libra dan Avenue Capital. Mana pernah untuk business model dalam dunia ni, modal KOSONG, risiko RENDAH (sebab Avenue Capital, sebagai syarikat GLC, DIJAMIN Kerajaan, so apa pun berlaku, Kerajaan aka MOF tidak akan benarkan bungkus) TETAPI KEUNTUNGAN BESAR YA AMAT!!!! Kenapa TV 3 tak lapor detail transaksi itu TETAPI HANYA HIGHLIGHT harga turun dari 71 sen kepada 65 sen dan melepaskan pegangan sahaja???? Jawapanya: MEDIA SPIN!!!!The principle is very simple. Nilai ECM Libra modal asalnya sekitar RM 200 juta. Avenue Capital modal asalnya dekat 800 juta saham. Dua syarikat ini BERGABUNG dan ECM Libra mengawal/menguasai syarikat yang lahir dari kedua-dua syarikat pengabungan ini. ECM Libra Avenue dikuasai oleh antaranya Khairy Jamaluddin, Kalimullah Hassan, Lim Kan Onn dan David Chua. Sekarang ni, 4 orang ini, memegang 53% dari saham syarikat baru itu. Syarikat baru ini modalnya besarlah. Exactly, Kawan tak boleh cakap sebab tak buat research khusus lagi TETAPI memang amat besar berbanding dari saham asal ECM Libra atau Avenue Capital Resources Bhd. Asalnya Khairy HANYA pegang 3% saham dari ECM Libra dibeli dengan harga RM0.71 sesaham, maknanya saham asal ECM Libra ialah 12.6 juta dari dari modal asal ECM Libra dalam 430 juta saham. Dikatakan Khairy memegang 4.3% saham dari syarikat baru ini. So, kalau ada 4.3% saham dari 850 juta saham, bermakna Khairy memegang lebih 36.5 juta saham. Bayangkanlah, asal ada 12 juta saham, selepas bergabung ada 36 juta saham. Tak bagus ka tu???? Kalau kalau jatuh 6-7 sen pun TETAPI volume 3 kali ganda, tak untung besar ka???? Apa-apa pun, kena tunggu Selasa, bila laporan kewangan analisa pasaran modal keluar detail penuh transaksi. P/S Kawan congak ja sekarang sebab pasaran Bursa Malaysia tutup. Tak tahu details*******************************
