大悲 咒

现在流转的大悲咒有两个版本。一个长， 一个短。短的又叫大悲心咒，是西藏佛教转出。这里是长的版本。原来的华文版是65句但用梵（英）文却是63 句。差别是在第7-10句之间。

大悲咒是音译。中国古代的大德对咒都是用音译。我想是和伊斯兰教的可兰经一定要用阿拉伯语念一样的道理吧。又或者如一首广东歌是不能用华语唱的道理一样吧！

现在用华文的读音念大悲咒和古代用唐宋年间的发音念应差的很远。有学者说唐代的发音接近广东音。当然用梵文念也不一定准。这里介绍的发音是从我看过的书抄出来给朋友作为一个参考

小东西

 最近和家人去了曼谷一回。我们在一间叫Siam Paragon 购物中心的底层吃东西。在这一层楼全是卖吃的。有较高档的日本和中、西餐厅也有适合象我们这样普通大众消费的摊档，就是我们这里说的food court.  Siam Paragon 称为FoodHALL。

这间food Court 很大很大，里面的摊位很多，但都卖不一样的东西。而且味道都不错，价格也不贵。虽然很多人，但座位在客人吃完离开不到3-5分钟后就会被收拾清理好。我们这里KLCC的food court, 在人多时常就找不到清洁的桌子，食物的水准更免比了。

最让我惊讶的是上图这放纸巾和牙签的盒子。这不是什么特别的盒子，但是放在每张 food court 的桌子就不简单了。牙签和纸巾都有。如在马来西亚的food court,纸巾和牙签不给人拿完或整盒不见才叫奇怪。 

是Sime Paragon的管理到位？ 还是曼谷人的品格素质超越我们了？？？

 

Beaches - Malaysia Vs Others

 

Went for holidays with family last week. So after loading the photos, talking about all the interesting things happened in the holidays, I asked the children whether they noticed any differences between beaches in Malaysia and beaches in Thailand and Bali. They gave some observations like bars , more tourists and cleaner beaches in the 3 beaches overseas they have visited. When up to my turn, I told them the way our beaches are layout into : Sea , Beach, Hotels, Road whereas beaches in Kuta, Bali and the recent beach they visited are layout in the following way: Sea, Beach, Road, Hotels.

When the beach is not "owned" by hotels, things on the beach are most temporary and will be changed according to market demands thus gather to the customers in a fast responsive ways.  When hotels are built on the beach , the stretch of beach is blocked out by the hotels and therefore if the hotel failed, it will be more difficult to change the hotel which is a massive structure. While waiting for the hotel to be changed which may take years, the stretch of beach is wasted like the failed Ming Court and few other major failed resort development at the Port Dickson beach.

When beach is not owned by few hotels. More hotels could be built behind the roads on the land near the beach, since all hotels have the same advantage to the beach.  When the beach is owned by hotel, the number of hotels that could be built on the beach is limited. therefore later hotel operators would not want to risk because of the blockage. With more hotels competing, room prices are better and services will be better too which ensure good operators survive and bad operator are removed by market forces. In this way, the hotels in resort like Bali are keep improving in terms of value. But the way Malaysia policy and planner done to the beach will only create monopoly or oligopoly type of operations, therefore we noticed high prices and bad services in Malaysia beach resort like those in Kuantan and PD.

The problem with Malaysia beaches is structural and it is really difficult to tackle therefore a country's policy could really affect the country over decades.

On Old Computers

At last I gave away my old labtop, printer and desktop to 慈济 , the charitable organisation , for recycling. 

 

I felt a bit sayang to put these things to RIP because all could be run but due to one reason or another it could not be used anymore. I realized that while I share in FB against  Lynas rare earth factory in Kuantan I contributed partly to the demand for rare earth - a main material for the computers and more so for the Iwhat not, tablets and smart phones.

Computer industry is a terrible wasteful industry. Most computers thrown away not because they are spoiled but are  replaced with faster machines because the latest software could not  run on the old machines or because we the consumers want the latest even we hardly use 5% of the so called latest features of the bloated software.   And the manufacturers do not produce parts for old machines. Take for example my Epson printer above . It is still in perfect working condition but I could not get ink cartridge not even compatible ink   so no choice but have to send it for recycling. 

The desktop  was a Dell of more than 7 years . It mati recently due to some part of the mother board, I believe. I called Dell. Dell told me the company does not store parts for computer more than 5 years. Of course I could try to hunt for a compatible mother board at Digital Mall or Lowyat but then it will cost me another RM300 - RM400 and plenty of time running around & talking to the half pass six computer shops assistants. I might as well save the money , took out the harddisk and put in a USB dock and hook it up to my netbook instead of forking  out another few hundred bugs and causing more demand of rare earth.

The labtop in the picture above was bought in year 2000 . At 11 years old it  was an old old man in the computer age. It came with a 5 G hard disk - . ( I took out the harddisk before sending for recycling for obvious reasons) Don't laugh, it was not small  in those days but now a tiny usb flash drive surpass this storage capacity. The battery is dead but it still could be power up using AC and run on window98 or Damn Small Linux. ( Ha! dual  boot for a tiny little thing like this) but it cannot be upgraded due to difficulty of getting compatible parts or too costly to be upgraded. It could be used as a good Terminal in a LTSP environment but none of the school here I know run Linux Terminal  Project.

I tried to "sell" LTSP concept to  Manfort Boys School, a school gather for the poor & run by the Church, but MBS  is too rich to be bother with LTSP. I talked to Divine Life Society but the teacher who taught computer did not reply my call.  I thought about government schools and Chinese schools but normal schools are monopolized with Windows base machines and people who manage it will not bother with a non window, low cost , virus free, cost free software systems like LTSP using old PC like this laptop as terminal. 

In US and Europe many schools computer labs are run on Linux and /or LTSP with old machines as terminals and these system run better than many new but low grade hardware. Check out the link here &  here  for examples of schools that saving thousands of $$ by running  Linux /LTSP.   I believe if a school adopt LTSP and Linux, it could save thousands of $$$$$ which could be put into better use instead of wasting it on the latest hardware and Windows only software.  If education ministry encourage schools to adopt this technology, it could spread the use of computer to more rural schools at the same amount of funding. 

I really wish some schools here could buy the idea to use Linux/Ltsp and save thousand of $$$$ and reduce the demand for rare earth at the same time.

Some thoughts on people’s servants.

Dear People's Servants

ONE JOB LESS

Congratulation !!!! You have one thing less to do and worry about. What I mean is that the rubbish collection will no longer be your responsibility as the YB YB have authorized the work to be “outsourced” to some no face people, I mean companies. We the tax payers who pay your and all Ybs' salaries are not briefed and informed thoroughly about this change of job functions as usual.

LESS WORK MORE WORKERS

When my friends and I were much much much younger we had high regards on you because you provided so many essential services to us like electricity, water, education , telecommunication, postal, health care, proper roads, drainage, cleaning up the streets and security and safety. But now, we really don't know what you all are doing other than harassing us and giving us troubles. Most of the services mentioned earlier are no longer provided by you, and yet you all do not lose your jobs. In fact the number of you increased many folds while the works done are getting lesser as your jobs are being privatized or outsourced to some people hiding behind the masks of corporations.

MINISTRIES WITH NO AUTHORITIES

Sometimes I wonder why you still keep the  transport minister who manage no major transport systems as the heads of PLUS, KTM, Airport Holding, MAS report to the finance minister via Khazanah /EPF. The transport minister do not control policies too since these are done by a commission or committee. Funny! what type of guy want to be a transport minister ??????

WHAT LEFT ?

What are the essential services still provided by you ? Aammmmmmmm! Let me see :

• Security (police),

• Protections ( Military) ,

• Education

• Partial Heath care

• Coins and notes aka money supply

• dan lain lain …....

WHO RUN THE SHOW ?

With more more jobs being outsourced, who are actually running the show  ?????? You ? Or someone PAID by us but unknown to us ; who hide behind the veils of corporate identities ????? Do you know them BTW ?

TOO MUCH TIME

In a company when the staff has to much time to kill, they tend to get into office politics or creating unnecessary works and procedures to justify their existences. Could the same be applied to your work environment ? Many unconfirmed reports said that many of you are on the golf course before 5 PM. Of course these are hearsay and not true, aren't there ?

Of course you are doing many other things. Some of your work including but not limited to harassing us with permit to have a party, tax audit, licenses for all kind of activities, breakdown the door of couples who may or may not making love in the house, arrest without proper reasons and all kind of useless guidelines and sometime idiotic policies like study Math & Science in English from Primary to Form 3 then change to B Malaysia in Form4&5 then back to English for these two subjects in Form 6. What type of pea brains come out with this senseless guidelines ?

Those in the business will have your ear full with more things they face everyday dealing with you if you really listen to them. But listening skill is a skill prohibit to have in the administration , I suppose. But then again I am wrong. People always wrong when against the people's servants.

SERVICES STANDARDS?

With lesser things to do it is very fair for people, I mean your boss, to expect better standard of services that are still provided by you. But alas, nothing seems to be working properly. Few dare to ventures out in the night alone because one could be killed by robbers or snatch thieves or personnel supposed to protect us; fungus are growing in newly built building, water was leaking in newly built building, submarine that could not submerge, raising cost of living not match with raising income, …....... Aiaya just tooooooo many to list down here.

WHO WILL PAY YOU?

You see, most real /genuine businessmen ( exclude GLC , Ali Baba, cables or lopang business) are having troubles paying your salaries and fed up of the never ending tax audit / harassments/labor problems. Many of them have stopped doing business and use the money to play shares or buy properties ( partly explain the share and property boom) or move to Indonesia or any other places that treat them better( that explained partly the outflow of $$$) . So the only people that could pay you in 5/10 years down the roads are the GLC and whatever could be dug out from the ground OR sea. But most GLC are not making $$$ from outside but squeezing $$ from the people with their monopoly position. Do you think the GLC are rich enough to support your ever increasing salary and number in the future ?

WHAT FUTURE HOLDS?

Will we turn into the four infamous 4 P.I.G.S that creating havoc to European financial market ? No! not now but we are going down the same path for sure . When will we join them or join our Philippine brothers to export workers ? Your guess is as good as mine. But I heard the maverick from E Malaysia said the country is doomed to bankrupt in X years time. Could you reverse the trends ? Or could this be the responsibility of the boss, when the workers do not perform ?

Books Fair/Book prices/ kamus

Went to book fair yesterday and bought these books as shown in photo above.

The books were sold at big discounts than normal at the book fair but still too expensive as compare to standard of living here. Many books are sold in China at about half the prices here .  Reading and the sales of books in a country reflect the standard of knowledge of the country and to certain degree - how ready are the work force for a knowledge base economy.

A good government knows that to improve the skills and knowledge of her people, concrete steps need to be taken to reduce the cost of acquiring knowledge and one of the effective way is to reduce the prices of books. Unfortunately nothing concrete have been done despite the political talks of high income society , wawasan what not .


BM Dictionary
Every time  I go to book fair I will look for the latest Kamus to see whether an electronic version of BM dictionary is available. But so far none I found except some overprice machine vendors trying to sell the machine with multiple dictionaries .

Even our government body - Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka (DBDP) has not done much to enable the people to learn BM cheaply and easily  . May be DBDP is trying to be a profit organisation instead of its goals of improving the standard / usage of national language. Don't believe me ? Try to find a free BM e dictionary to download. And compare to find one for English / German / Chinese.  Take a look at this stardict (Link here) website. From here you get links to download almost all kind of dictionary except BM. Don't the DBDP knows that if it is serious in promoting BM, it should make learning BM at no or low cost AND as easy as possible but they can't even produce a BM dictionary in electronic form. Or it can but you must buy it from the machine vendors.

Sad but true!!!
