MD: Sudah 8 bulan studying in MD, wah I must say...boringnya! Entah I don’t know why, I thought I was the only person yg meng-admit that MD ani membosankan...but then, actually most of them yg ku tanya shares the same thought as me. How unfortunate it can be kan for the authorities kalau dgr rungutan ani...tapi apa bleh buat, yg benarnya. Kenapa boring? Well there are no specific reasons laa, lain org lain opinion.

Newspaper Laws: Another attempt to restrict the flow of information into Brunei, whatever. Where there is always the Internet, the government cannot filter out everything, no matter how hard they try to control information flow in Brunei. Good luck to them. The world has changed, and information is easily accessed. Feh 20.09.2001
Stay on the left lane: I seek your cooperation to stay on the left lane of the road if you are not overtaking. It is frustrating enough to experience the present road system being very poor with bumpy and dangerous potholes. So do not make it worse.  It is selfish enough with the attitudes of certain road users particularly when you see them busy with their handphones and ignoring others who are behind them rushing to go back home esp during lunch time and yet they are continuously on the right lane of the road. Thank you! steven hills stevie@yahoo.com 20.09.2001

BF7579 abandoned wrecked car: Whoever the owner of this vehicle, please get rid of it ASAP!! It is causing a great deal of potential danger to incoming vehicles.  You have parked it just round the corner and you are so irresponsible and selfish! Should any accidents occur, I will swear that you will not have peace of mind! It had remained stationery at the shoulder side of Junction4/Jalan Muara/ Salambigar Highway for almost two weeks already and I am one of the public who got fed up with it! Please do something!!! Lunch hour is one of the rush hours.  If you don’t want it to be destroyed it place it in a safer location!! Otherwise I'll have someone else to do it for you for the sake of public safety! rahimi yusof extraghy@hotmail.com 20.09.2001
US attack: I hope you guys take time to read BB viewpoint - "Faith and the future" by Brother Yusof Islam.  Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and respect for other religions and humanity.  For those who see it differently - then my question is is he wrong??? Ban Dua 20.09.2001

Israeli Mossad possible link in NY: Assalamualaikum readers, I received this article by email recently. It's quite interesting. Apparently, it originated in Malaysia and the comment directly below came after an article apparently taken from a Canadian media group which follows the comment. What do you think?
"...Could it not be possible that any terrorist group, Muslim or otherwise, could have engaged rogue intelligence officials, not just from the KGB but Western intelligence agencies, for a fee or whatever? This attack in Washington and New York is too well coordinated to be done by a terrorist group however well funded but without access to expert advise.
Whatever caused the carnage, Fukuyama's End of History arguments are now history. It does not take much to destroy the monolithic structure of a superpower. All it needs, it seems, are razor blades, pocket knifes and box cutters. When all is said and done, it is not the deaths and carnage that sticks in the gut: it is that the globe's superpower, with its nuclear arsenal, is held hostage with items you sometimes have in your trouser pockets. It is a replay of what happened in the Vietnam War, when the US was felled by men who had little but tenacity and a sense of righteousness.
NEWS EMBARGO AFTER ISRAELI LINK LEAK
Stern-Intel  (Canada). A US military intelligence source revealed details of an internal intelligence memo that points to the Israeli Mossad intelligence service having links to the World Trade Centre and Pentagon attacks. The intelligence source, who requested his name be withheld, confirmed the internal US intelligence memo circulated four weeks ago described information that pointed to the threat of a covert Israeli operation on US soil to turn mass public opinion against Palestinian Arabs via an apparent terrorist attack on US interests that would give Israel the green light to implement a large scale military onslaught against the Palestinian Arab population.
The 11 September attack has been described by experts as being too sophisticated for a lone terrorist group to execute, "This attack required a high level of military precision and the resources of an advanced intelligence agency. In addition, the attackers would have needed to be extremely familiar with both air force one flight operations, civil airline flight paths and aerial assault tactics on sensitive US cities like Washington, stated David Stern an expert on Israeli intelligence operations. The attacks targeted the Pentagon, World Trade Centre towers, with the White House and air forces also being targets according to the FBI.
"The attacks have certainly turned US public opinion firmly back in Israel's favour after 11 months of Palestinian uprising, heavy criticism of Israel over war crimes allegations and racism by a UN conference in Durban. The attacks serve no Arab group or nation's interests in their timing but came in the midst of international condemnation of Israel for its policy of death squad assassination of Palestinian political and police figures" added Stern.
If verified, the news of Israel's involvement in the US attack will come as no surprise to intelligence experts. The state of Israel has a long history of covert operations against Western targets with attacks on the King David Hotel, USS Liberty, murder of a Scandinavian UN envoy as well as espionage against the US during the Jonathan Pollard case.
On Wednesday, the US defence department issued a warning to its officials to halt the leak of information on the investigation which it says is happening on a daily basis since the attacks occured.

Airline cutback: Incredible of Boeing cutting 30,000 staff. British Airways also cutting many thousands of staff. Many airlines are going bankrupt. Our National Airlines do not have to worry. No cutbacks, not Brunei style. Luckily for RBA they dont have SJ anymore. With his imperialist, western thinking, no doubt he would have cut jobs with excuse of cutting lost and being profitable. My support to the current management for not cutting jobs of us Bruneians. Thank you. Traveler 20.09.2001
Urgent Pleas from your brothers and sisters: Date: Wednesday, 19 September, 2001 7:26AM
Allahu Akbar!!!!!
bismillaahi wa bi-Hamdihi wa Sallallaahu 'alaa nabiyyih, as-salaamu 'alaykum wa raHmatullaahee wa barakaatuhu,

Dear brothers,
I have an urgent request for all of you. These next 12-24 hours will determine the fate of an already devastated people. Whether or not the responsibility for the recent attacks on U.S. soil bears any origin in Afghanistan, the Americans will indeed attack that small country.
This is all an orchestrated plan which we have all seen coming. We have been discussing this eventuality as far back as one year ago or more. It is now happening.
Brothers, there is already talk about the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. An American invasion of Afghanistan would be devastating to a people already starving to death from sanctions. The Afghans have suffered for 20 years now. The Afghans saved much of the Muslim world from being absorbed by the Soviet Empire. What did they get in return? A Muslim world that left them to die of brutality and starvation. Please brothers, I beg of you, stay up tonight and pray taHajjud. This is my urgent request of all of you. Please stay up as much as you can tonight and make ardent ducal' for the safety of the people of Afghanistan. An insurmountable horror faces them only hours away.  If you do not wish to stay up the whole night, then please stay up in the later part of the night. If you do not want to stay up for the later part of the night, then please wake up one hour early for Fajr and pray just 2 sets of
raka'tayn. Times that the du'aa' is most accepted by Allah during Salah are in sujood
and in the final sitting before you say tasleem. This is such a small thing
to do for a people about to face a catastrophe the likes of which no Muslim country will have seen since even the Tatar invasions. Whether you agree with the Taliban or not, please do this for the safety of the innocent Muslims, men, women and children, who will bear the brunt of American indifference to human life (even of their own citizens whom they consider expendable for their political plots and agendas).
The Afghans have never been defeated, but I admit that I am truly worried. This will be a time which will foretell whether we will face a new dawn of hope or a continuation of our 100 years of humiliation at the hands of the kuffaar.

US attack: To Nad , Airel sharon has requested you not to spoil his operation of creating mass killings. So USA watch out. Next time who knows he will use nuclear weapon to destroy you. The student is going after the master. he he. teletubbies media 19.09.2001
hot news: The teletubbies media with the cooperation of Osama Bin Laden & Taliban network have found that Israel, Mossad & Airel Sharon are behind these attacks.  So USA get the facts correct before corrupting the world’s mind with all these Jewish media. teletubbies media 19.09.2001
US attack: What will happen if Israel is behind these terrorist attacks as to what they did to the Palestinian people & govt. USA will probably ask permission from Palestine to use their airspace to get Airel Sharon. Hem Interesting!!!. teletubbies media 19.09.2001
The Empire Strikes Back: The heading of the BIA Chairman's letter "The Empire Strikes Back - Hotel Assets Will Not Be Auctioned". Well, what do you think of him? Pian Aji Damit
Empire Strikes Back: Hello Star Wars. Bagi chance la sikit arah Chairman atu. This is Brunei style management. Mana ada Press Conference and the like. Bukan Brunei style lah. Give him time to prove himself. It is a very difficult job, especially when he is also responsible for our Billions of dollars of investments. One piece of advise to him is 'not to underestimate the ability of the staff, and always find ways to motivate them'. Motivation doesn't mean more financial incentives. A simple smile from the Chairman is enough to motivate people. Understand. A simple smile. Just try it and see. Hocus Pocus 19.09.2001
The US attack: I agree with Balqis. When Palestinians were attacked, no one seems to care at all! Well, not exactly thousands of people were killed. But after the WTC attack and the Pentagon, people all over the world were shocked. You don't see people crying over the killing of innocent people of Palestine or Bosnia. You don't see people signing condolences book for it. First of all, leaders of the world must understand the Islam religion. We, the Muslims, always see movies about Christians and exorcising and all that stuff. We understand. But, they (Americans), portray us as bad people. I don't know. But I blame Osama Bin Laden for Muslims in Western countries getting beaten up. orang-orang 19.09.2001

Bersekongkol dengan US - Satu Fatwa: Assalamualaikum,
Ringkasan
1. Gabungan ulamak Palestine telah mengeluarkan fatwa (18/9/2001) bahawa haram secara syarak bersekutu dengan Amerika Syarikat (AS) menentang mana-mana negara Islam.
2. Samada yang bersekutu itu adalah orang perseorangan, pertubuhan atau negara. Dan samada bersekutu dengan turut serta berperang atau memberi kemudahan atau membuka ruang udara atau lapangan terbang atau markaz tentera atau pengkalan laut untuk menyerang mana-mana negara Islam, seperti Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syiria, Iran, Lubnan, Mesir atau selainnya.
3. Perbuatan itu adalah antara dosa yang paling besar dan jenayah yang paling dahsyat di sisi Allah. Dan ia adalah perbuatan khianat terhadap Allah, RasulNya dan terhadap kaum muslimin.
4. Gabungan ulamak juga berfatwa haram membunuh orang awam yang tidak berdosa, tidak kira siapapun mereka itu, lebih-lebih lagi orang-orang Islam.
5. Serangan ke atas AS adalah angkara kejahatan dan kezaliman politiknya terhadap umat dunia. AS sepatutnya memuhasabah diri, bukannya mengumandangkan gendang perang bersama sekutu-sekutunya.
6. Gabungan ulamak Palestin berpandangan, kempen perang yang akan dilaksanakan oleh AS terhadap negara-negara Islam adalah bukan atas asas kebenaran. Dan ini samalah seperti mengisytiharkan perang ke atas Islam dan umatnya dengan alasan untuk membenteras keganasan. Dan ia samalah juga mengisytiharkan perang terhadap Allah. Dan peperangan ini tidak akan ada manfaatnya melainkan kerugian sahaja.

Empire Hotel: Frankly I am surprised at the very slow response to this issue. The Chairman should have called for a full Press Conference at least the next day after the allegation. Face the nation and talk to us and give us full confidence that this allegation is not true. Why wait for a week to make the denial. Staff motivation and moral have already been severely affected. The world is also looking at us like stupid. How could anything like this be true, ie selling all interiors and leaving the body intact!! How stupid! You should have made your denial the very next day! Star Wars 19.09.2001

Our SEA games failure: Whatever happened to our SEA games debacle?  Not even one gold in Silat and lawn bowl?  Coming in last after minnows like Laos and Cambodia?  Football teams thoroughly beaten?  We have to seriously ask ourselves WHY?  This is especially after our "achievement" in the last SEA games.  If I could just try to lay out our problems, then here it is; (1) We do not have any credible plans for sports development in the country.  The blame must go to the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.  This is a shame especially we felt that there was so much goodwill after our hosting of the last SEA games.  The same can be said of our Malaysia Cup victory.  The enthusiasm was not utilised at all and we let things just slipped by.  The Ministry may argue that they do not have the budget.  This would be wrong.  Do we just stop doing anything just because we do not have any money?  (You wonder then how so many of our "officials" get to be at the games.  And do countries like Laos and Cambodia send the whole set of TV crew to cover the games?)  (2)  Private organisations could have helped if only we gave them due recognition.  We don't just squeeze them to come up with all sort of sponsorships during the games particularly if they were meant only to give a good impression of the officials!  The partnership should have been more long term; helping the athletes with training; domestic competition or even overseas sports scholarship.  (3)  Ministry of Education should have been more aggressive in promoting sports amongst the schools in Brunei.  Schools kids ought to be exposed to bowling, golf, tennis, lawn bowl, hockey, shooting, archery etc at an early age.  Through this we can spot talents.  We can then provide sports scholarship for these young talents.  In order for these young talents to excel, they must go outside Brunei.  The US and Australia have excellent sports development programme which is combined with academic achievement.  Even if we fail to find such exceptional talents - we can feel happy that our kids would see and appreciate sports as a way of healthy life.  (3)  Perhaps a non-governmental body, devoid of cumbersome bureaucracy can be set up in this direction.  This body is made up of people from the private sectors but with the full support of the government.  Its aim is towards sports excellence and the target is at this stage to produce quality sportsmen/women so that Brunei would at least be able to compete against countries like Laos and Cambodia.  OK we have two years before the next SEA games in Vietnam - I just hope that we can better ourselves (we can't get any worse, unless Timor participates and even then  at this rate we will still remain the last).

DST SMS: Has anyone noticed that since SMS was launched for Easi that subscribers for GSM have suffered because the SMS server sometimes does not send our messages? Before anyone starts saying 'inda bersyukur' bla bla bla .... I pay $45 a month + other extras. So I expect my SMS to work as it did before. I hardly ever get 'message not sent this time' BUT I do now (frequently). I’m sure I speak for all those other GSM subscribers ... so DST, I should at least expect service which I pay for.

Terrorist attacks in the US: The terrorist attacks on the US are tragic and senseless. There should be no reason for innocent people to die, whatever their religion. However, this is also the case with Palestine, Kosovo, Iraq and Bosnia where as a result of Western countries' past and current policies, innocent Muslims have died. When these Muslims died, no Western citizen was beaten black and blue in Brunei, Malaysia and other Muslim countries and slandered for being 'a Muslim fundamentalist'. So my question is why this sudden assault on Muslims worldwide? I appreciate President Bush finally taking action on this by visiting the Islamic Centre in Washington and saying that 'Islam is a religion of peace.' What about other Western leaders? Tony Blair? Jacques Chirac? Why aren't any of you taking steps to appear on TV and radio and emphasise that not ALL Muslims are terrorists? Why aren't any of you taking steps to protect the wellbeing of Muslims in your country who despite what their religion or race, are still citizens of your countries?
CNN has been extremely biased in their portrayal of Islam. No one has bothered to distinguish between 'terrorists' and Islam. The BBC has been more 'generous' by reporting on Muslims who have been assaulted and trying to take a milder approach. And what about our own people in the US, UK and other Western countries? Is the government taking any steps to ensure the safety of Bruneian citizens and students abroad from abuse and assault? Many of our students wear headscarves; has a general warning been issued to them to ensure their safety?
For the Muslims who have written to this forum, please do not assume that the Taliban and Abu Sayyaf are 'shit' hiding behind the true face of Islam. While I do not agree with their violent approaches to solving their problems fir example killing innocent people, I can understand WHY they feel they have to do this. For Bruneian Muslims, we have an easy life here. How would you feel if you saw your parents or other family members and friends killed at gunpoint or by bombs? How would you feel if you have to dodge bullets and guns everyday of your life, just hoping and praying that you'll live to see the next day? So please remember, YOU have an easy life as compared to the misery these people in the Abu Sayyaf, Taliban, Palestinians, Bosnians etc are facing everyday. YOU have a car(s), house(s), family, friends, money, food and most important you have your LIFE...face it you have almost everything. So have more compassion for other people who may not have what you have. Don't be so narrow-minded.
It's a tragic vicious circle...people seek revenge for the killing of loved ones by killing other innocent people. Western states and Islamic fundamentalists have got to try to work together to prevent other atrocities from being committed. But I fear that may never happen.
Let us not forget to say a prayer for the Muslims killed or still missing in the WTC attack. There were Muslims who worked in the tower as being a financial centre, I'm sure there were several Middle Eastern companies in operation there.
For Western countries, your intelligence reports have been reporting since that it’s Osama Bin Laden. I think he must be in the World Book of Records for having his name the most mentioned in a week or a day even. Don't forget the Oklahoma bombings and Timothy McVeigh. While the men involved were of Middle Eastern origin, don't forget there are a great number of terrorist organisations in the world and they are not all religious-based. So I hope you'll get your facts and evidences right and correct. While Osama and the Taliban have certainly caused their share of pain and suffering, especially to the women and children in Afghanistan, remember there are innocent people there who may be killed if your plan to bomb the country goes ahead. And what I know is that killing another will never substitute for one killing. For all you know, this could have been the work of a group against President Bush's Missile Defence Plans. Don't lose your logic and rationale in reaching a conclusion.
As a Muslim, I am shocked by these attacks and I sympathise with the families of the victims as I can imagine what it would be like to have a loved one die in the attacks. But I am only Allah's creature. "Serahkan saja kepada Allah SWT kerana Allah lebih mengetahui segalanya" Balqis a_maverick@netscape.com 19.09.2001
American Tragedy & Muslims - Dari Kacamata Muslim: Written from one's observation. Interesting and fascinating. Read on. Nuzi Salaams everyone: >From my point of view,
What happened in lower Manhattan, NY city on Sept. 11. 2001 was devastating and totally unacceptable by anyone who profoundly understands the value and the importance of human life. Thousands of innocent people (including several MUSLIMS) lost their lives that day. My heart and prayers go out to everyone who lost their loved ones because of this tragedy.
Right after the "ATTACK ON AMERICA" happened, the media deliberately started projecting that this heinous crime was perpetrated and committed by the MUSLIMS namely (Osama Ben Laden). Also, that Muslims in America and all around the world are the culprits and are responsible for this in-humane act of terror.
Q. Were these hijackers MUSLIMS? If yes, what kind of Muslims?
A. Not very good and TRUE Muslims, I guess. There is a good reason why I believe that (if and only if they were Muslims) they were not good and true Muslims. So you ask, WHO IS BEHIND ALL OF THIS? Let me give you the following reasons and hints to who is behind this tragedy:
1. Who controls the media in America? And isn't it true that most of  the ordinary and average people like us believe whatever we SEE, HEAR, and READ thru the media.
2. Why didn't the hijackers (if Muslims as projected) care about over 3000 good Muslims who worked in the twin towers on a daily basis? If their motive was to bring these buildings down, they could have done that over the weekend or at night time when very few people are in the building WHY DID THESE ATTACKS TAKE PLACE IN THE MORNING HOURS? Everyone was watching, in real time on TV all around America.
3. Who was that gentleman on the street at about 9:08 a.m. with a cam-coder in his hands making a video, which captured and recorded the incident of the first plane hitting the tower? HOW come he was there at the right place, at the right time? MEDIA Involvement, planned out act of terror and again WHO controls the media?
Chain of events happened in U.S. gradually, momentarily, and step by step. Moments after the attack and collapse of the WTC, media showed PALASTANIAN kids and one female in HIJAB (symbolic dress of Muslim women) clapping, singing, and celebrating. Different TV channels reported to the American viewers that Palestinians are happy and loving American loss while the entire America is mourning this tragedy. MY Q? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GATHER HUNGRY AND ABANDONED BUNCH OF KIDS TO CLAP, SING, AND JUMP UP AND DOWN in front of the camera IN PALESTINE. DID ANYONE NOTICE THE TIME ZONE; IT WAS MORNING HERE AND SAME DAYLIGHT TIME IN PALESTINE (VERY INTERESTING).
4. FBI and FEMA reported that one of the suspects Mr. Mohamed Atta and others were on the list for most wanted in CAR and BUS postings in Israel. At one time the Israeli army captured this person and few years later he was released by them. WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE WAS IN ISRAELI JAIL? BRAIN WASHED**FUNDED AND HARBORD**FORCED**SET UP**PAYED OFF IN MIGHTY $$$.
My Q? How in the world Mr. M. ATTA and his associates come inside the U.S. borders, lived on the U.S. soil, received training to fly planes openly when he was on the FBI wanted list, without the protection, umbrella, and a free ticket by someone very POWERFUL in THE U.S. to roam around without any problem.
5. FBI received a tip off from a passenger who boarded a different plane and reached his destination safely that he had a confrontation with two Middle Eastern gentlemen at the Logan airport in Boston, MA. He gave FBI the exact location of their stranded car parked in the lot, where FBI found the (MANUEL ON HOW TO FLY A PLANE) in ARABIC language. Also, they found the information leading to the rental car and credit card information with which the 2 plane tickets were purchased from Boston to
L.A. My Q? People capable of plotting and executing such a sophisticated plan would leave the ARABIC language manual and other information in the rental car to be found later by the FBI. HOW DUMB is that BY THE STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL TERRORISTS! 
6. FBI reported that they traced the attackers to Florida where the FBI was told by the bar owner /manager that the two suspects came into the bar couple days ago and drank LIQUOR heavily (GOOD TRUE MUSLIMS AND DRINKING, WELL YES I KNOW SOME (M) DO DRINK ALCOHOL BUT TRUE (JIHADI) MUSLIMS?.........NAHHHHHHHHHH).
My Q? Drinking and fighting with the bar manager over the bill, possibility to get the police involved, be in position to get caught, blow up and jeopardize their well thought out and long awaited plan. I DON'T THINK SO.
7. One report said, struggle in the plane, which crashed in Pittsburgh, PA. Two Phone calls were made from the plane. One man called his mother in California for (1 full minute) in which he told her that the > plane has been hijacked, he loves his mother and family very much, also that hijackers have sharp knives. No description given at all about the ethnic background, race, colour of the hijackers etc. Flight attendant called her family and told them that hijackers have knives, she is been stabbed, and even told them the SEAT # of the hijackers BUT NO DESCRIPTION on who are they GIVEN AT ALL. My Q? Were the HIJACKERS hiding their faces? WHY THESE BOTH CALLERS COULD NOT SEE, JUDGE, AND IDENTIFY THE HIJACKERS IDENTITIES?
8. Plane tickets were purchased by credit card of Mr. M. ATTA, leading FBI and swat teams to the WESTIN HOTEL in Boston where 3 of the helpers were waiting for the FBI AFTER almost over 29 hours of the initial attack on WTC.
HOW IDIOTIC IS THIS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ASSIGNED AND TRAINED TO PULL OFF AN ATTACK AND DESTROY (WTC) THE LANDMARK OF SUCCESS AND FREEDOM OF AMERICA. Some said that while the associates of hijackers were waiting for the FBI to show up and arrest them, they ordered PIZZA WITH BLACK OLIVES AND TOOK TURNS TAKING SHORT NAPS. Just joking.
9. The (TALIBANS) came out and in the live press conference and condemned
the attack on America and denied any involvement from the Taliban and guaranteed that (Osama Ben Laden) presumably harboured and facilitated in AFGHANISTAN had nothing to do with the attack. 
10. In 1993, unsuccessful WTC bombing happened, 6 people died, over 1000 injured. Several Arabs were arrested including Mr. Mohamed Ramzi Yusouf in Pakistan. Still in jail in Colorado awaiting his punishment. HBO movie in 1995 (ROAD TO PARADISE) in which the story of the WTC was told and at the end of the movie Mr. Ramzi Yusouf was quoted looking at the Twin Towers, "NEXT TIME WE WILL BRING THEM BOTH DOWN".
My Q? Who the hell made that movie and predicted in the movie that this will happen some day in the future and how did they reach this conclusion? Again, who controls and operates the MEDIA and the MOVIE BUSINESS in America?
IN CONCLUSION: There is a good reason to believe that Prime Minister of ISRAEL Mr. Ariel Sharon and ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE (possibly with the help of another country’s intelligence) is behind this tragedy. So far they have been very successful in killing not 1, not 2, but three birds with only one bullet. Create hostile conditions for Muslims in the U.S. and all over the world. Show and make people believe that Muslim religion (ISLAM) teach them to kill innocent people, in the name of JIHAD........when, it is totally the opposite. ISLAM is the religion of PEACE AND HARMONY.  
Get U.S. bomb and stop any kind of aid to the 3rd world Muslims countries like Palestine, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Biggest threat to ISRAEL in Middle Eastern region (Osama Ben Laden) and make U.S. public, U.S. government, and the Entire World believe that he is the MASTERMIND behind the American tragedy and have him killed by the U.S. military. HAVE Osama KILLED AT ANY PRICE.
Basically, create chaos between Muslims & Christians, sit back and watch over and benefit from the chain of events and destruction among Muslims & Christians.
PRIME EXAMPLE: THREATS OF RETALLIATIONS AND ATTACKS ON MUSLIMS IN
AMERICA HAVE ALREADY BEGUN ON MOSQUES, IN SCHOOLS, AND AT WORKPLACE.
Good and true Muslims are being called TERRORISTS, FOLLOWERS OF OSAMA &
SADAAM, harassed for something they have NOTHING TO DO, CONTROL, OR INFLUENCE OVER.
As a Muslim-American, I hope and pray that whatever happens in the coming days, months, and years bring peace and calm to our beautiful world. Be safe, show that you care, and watch your back every time during these sad times in the history of America.  At last I just want to say, Well Done MR. SHARON, ISRAEL, (THE true MASTERMINDS BEHIND THE AMERICAN TRAGEDY). Nad nad@hotmail.com 18.09.2001
Within Hours: Dear Readers, I have been reading up the comments given in regards to the attacks on the US. I am overwhelmed at the response. Please people, disregard race, ethnicity, religion and politics. What has happened should very well have displayed an image of what it would be like tomorrow. Indeed, innocent people have been killed. They were caught in the middle, never having the intentions of getting involved with politicians who feast on power and money. How much more blood should be shed before we come to realise that this is not the solution?
Retaliation is not the solution. Even now, issues on how innocent people who died without cause should be avenged. I say leave the judging to God himself. No matter how righteous one is, or how justified an action is, it will all come down to one thing in the end. Only God himself will decide on it. I try to picture myself as one of the victims, or one of the relatives of the dead. In doing this, one finds it hard to come to grips to forgive and forget. One's mind would still fight for revenge. With reasoning, if thought carefully, would one's death bring another back to life?
All these could be a beginning to a new end. If retaliation persists, it could lead to bigger issues. Maybe World War 3. I believe, that if World War 3 does come, it would only last a few hours. War now does not need knife or guns. All it takes is just a push of a button, a few short hours of the nuclear missile travelling to its designated location, and a few seconds to wipe out what man took centuries building.
Please people; cease the talk about who is right or wrong, who deserves punishment or justice. When the time comes, all this means nothing. It will not matter who is right or wrong when you see a nuclear missile coming your way. DarKBlisS DarK@hotmail.com 18.09.2001
Attack On WTC / USA: Strange but true. Please check this out: The date of the attack 11/9 : 1+1+9=11. September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2+5+4=11. After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year. The Twin Towers standing side by side looks like the number 11. The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11. The State of New York was the 11th State added to the Union..........and some more........ Flight 11 had 92 on board: 9+2=11. Flight 77 had 65 on board; 6+5=11. And more...... New York City = 11 letters, The Pentagon = 11 letters, Afghanistan = 11 letters ....and yet some more ....George W. Bush = 11 letters, Colin Powell = 11 letters, Ariel Sharon (PM Israel)= 11 letters, Ramzi Yousef = 11 letters (convicted of orchestrating the attack on the WTC in 1993).......And last but not least, how interesting, PRINCE JEFRI = 11 letters. Sadly BIN LADEN = 11-3 letters. However, BIN LADEN + USA = 11 letters!!!!!!!! Zeb 18.09.2001

Maybe you can stop the war: Dear journalists of the globe: Maybe you can help stop this war. I am asking all journalists to publish an article in the paper asking their citizens to plead with their governments to stop the war. This is the time to come together and stand united. We are letting others kill our own brothers and sisters. Please take this seriously as just by a little effort on your part maybe enough effort to stop the mass murder of our brothers and sisters. And even if your efforts do not change anything, God will reward you for your effort.
The 19 hijackers were probably trained and were working for Mossad (Jewish Organization of professional assassins and espionage agents). Who attacked the USA in advance of Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah observed in September and October) and Jewish Yom Kippur--fasting day for Jews to make atonements. Their atonements was to ignite a fight between the Muslims and the Christians, and they will be celebrating in synagogues. Only Jews will be benefited by this war.

Not War: To: A PERSONAL INSIGHT. I assume you are an American, but by the way you talked you sound like some kind of a monster from another planet! Just like Sunshine, you insisted that Osama was responsible for all the destructions. America is not a popular country as what you think. In fact, America is probably the most hated country because of its persisting interference with other nations' affairs. The terrorists can be any person from around the world, but why should Osama be blamed? Is it because that the Americans were ashamed that their spies ARE NOT good enough? Pointing out a Muslim as a terrorist is probably the best solution to a quizzical problem (which they could not solve), or probably the best way to prove how HIGH and MIGHTY their ammunitions are... Gosh! Aren’t we afraid??
America itself has one of the highest crime rates. The incident in Oklahoma City has proven that its citizens were actually involved in terrorism. This phenomenon could repeat itself. So you better shut up and don't ever try to accuse anyone without any reliable evidence. Aren’t the Americans the ones who crave for war against Afghanistan? So many innocent people out there might die - An American dream, perhaps! Who cares! 18.09.2001

US Attack by Terrorists (Osama Bin Laden): To all Citizens of Planet Earth :
After careful analysis of the World Reactions towards the attack, I can only say this - BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID. People of planet Earth, I conclude that you are being led to your own destruction by your own self. You let religion come between your self and your best judgement. You let hate come between your self and your next generation. You let the very evil that you want to avoid and you enter it yourself by being self righteous. This planet and this time period are for you. It is up to you all to see if you want your son(s), daughter(s), grandchildren, etc to see a happy TOMORROW.
BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID. You HAVE to STOP and WAKE up and SEE what you are doing. If you do not stop now and live your life as people of planet Earth, THERE MIGHT NOT BE A PLANET EARTH FOR YOUR CHILDREN. MY ANALYSIS SAYS LET OSAMA BIN LADEN DEFEND HIMSELF IN COURT, LET NOT THE CHILDREN OF AFGHANISTAN BE FATHERLESS OR MOTHERLESS. WE HAVE ENOUGH MOTHERLESS AND FATHERLESS CHILDREN FROM THE US ATTACK ALREADY. LET US RESPECT ALL RELIGIONS REGARDLESS OF COUNTRY, RACE OR COLOUR. A personal Insight compliants@istone.com 18.09.2001
Nepotism: Pemikiran yang waras atu terbahagi kepada dua - 1)waras siuman dan 2) waras gila. Orang yang waras siuman melakukan segala perbuatan pintarnya dengan menggunakan pemikirannya tetapi orang yang waras gila melakukan perbuatan pintarnya dengan membabi buta tanpa usul periksa. Diucapkan syabas kepada 'Orang Biasa' kerana mengutarakan isu nepotism dikalangan masyarakat ketani walaupun beliau dituduh penakut kerana tidak menyebutkan nama orang yang terbabit.

WTC /Taleban/Palestine etc: If you want to die, die lah. If you want to attack, attack lah. Nothing to do with Islam. It is all about politics, POWER. It is about land. It is about oil. NOT Islam. NOTHING genuine about fighting for Islam. Palestinians = Muslims & Christians NOT Muslims, they are fighting for their homeland, not ISLAM. The Afghans/Talebans are fighting each other for power. Iraq invaded Kuwait - both are Arabs and Muslims - not fighting for religion, Islam. Iraq at war with Iran, again both Muslims. Abu Sayaf are BANDITS, not fighting for Islam! They are just SHIT hiding behind the beautiful religion of ISLAM. Pian Aji Damit 18.09.2001

Anwar Ul Haque: I totally agree with Anwar. Why did Israel and US storm out of the meeting in Durban? All the terrorism started after Israel was said to be Zionist. I bet they are behind all these trying to distract everyone in the world of their evil doing to the Palestinians; they planned an attack on US. May God be with the Islam people around the world. 18.09.2001
SEA Gamessilat Tournament: Tahniah di atas kejayaan semua atheletic kita walaupun cuma mendapat gangsa dan perak.Di bidang acara silat yang akan datang athelit kita pasti boleh mendapat emas bagi acara seni silat asalkan kita menukarkan saja pegawai pegawai di acara tersebut yang mana di setiap kali sukan SEA dan pertandingan silat luar negara mereka menjadi wakil pegawai keluar negara di acara silat tetapi tidak membuah kan hasil yang di harapkan.
Kita mempunyai banyak pesilat pesilat tanah air yang berpotensi selain dari perserta skim yang dapat di lihat masih dengan cara dan teknik silat empat tahun lalu.Di harap muka muka lama yang mengendalikan acara sukan silat di dalam negeri ini akan dapat memberi peluang pada muka muka baru yang lagi bertenaga dan berpemikiran terbuka.Di bahagian pemilihan wakil ke sukan SEA yang seterus nya jika kita sendiri tidak membuat pemilihan dengan adil jemput lah orang luar untuk membuat pemilihan agar tiada pilihan "pilih pilih langsat".
Inshallah dengan membuka ruang dan memberi jalan pada generasi baru untuk memimpin sukan seni silat ini ,negara akan menghasilkan pesilat pesilat yang mahir,berkualiti dan dedakasi bagi mencipta nama bukan saja di acara sukan malahan di geruni di seluruh dunia.

Nepotism / Orang Inda Biasa: Kalau macam-macam lagi kan kamu consider dan fikirkan, baik tah SHUT UP. Selagi attitude at PENAKUT selagi atu tah kena JAJAH. Kena jajah ani bukan saja dari segi negeri yg dijajah oleh orang asing tetapi juga akal fikiran dsb yg dijajah oleh sesiapa pun jua termasok sesama sendiri. Contoh yg nyata, jika lah benar seperti yg diDAKWA oleh Orang Biasa bahawa masih terdapat nepotism dan "ada connection" dalam pemberian kerja dan kamu tidak berani menegur dan mendedahkan nya maka fikiran dan KAMU keseluruhan nya adalah di JAJAH. Kalau pada pendapat kamu nepotism dan "ada connection" itu adalah salah kenapa dibiarkan? Kalau mereka yg melakukan sedemikian berani dan mampu berbuat begitu kenapa kah kita perlu memikirkan consequences yg akan berlaku terhadap mereka jika apa yg mereka lakukan itu kita dedahkan? MERDEKAKAN lah fikiran awda! Selagi kita masih mempunyai perasaan takut atau "kesian" kan mereka maka selagi itu mereka akan melakukannya (jika apa yg didakwa itu benar!

AMERICA ON ATTACK: AMERICA ON ATTACK. Opinion piece Dr. Anwar Ul Haque
Almost all Muslims have condemned the attack on innocent civilians of USA, while hardly any body condemns daily killings of Palestinian Muslims. Today alone 10 Palestinian Muslims have been killed by guns and bullets provided by USA Tax payers!!!! Still we will keep condemning attacks on civilians regardless of their religion, ethnicity etc. This is because Islam teaches us Civilization while the Western Jahilia usually manifests in the most Serbaric forms. The Zionists follow Talmud; a doctrine of the worst racism. The Talmudic doctrine is second to none and perhaps equals to their cow worshipping partners i.e. Hindus who reduce other human beings to untouchables. Both racist and State Terrorists are fully backed by the Western powers. The recent attacks on New York and Washington are carried out by Mossad (Israeli Secret Service) with full backing of Zionist elements in FBI and CIA. It should be noted that President Clinton (Whose mother and wife were most probably of Zionist lineage) had appointed an Israeli agent as USA ambassador to Israel!!! He granted him US citizenship in record few days in order to induct him into the most sensitive offices of USA! The recent attacks on USA raises several pertinent questions: Were there four highly trained terrorist pilots or the planes were remotely controlled? Why planes were allowed to fly for about 30 minutes without diverting it to some other places. What has happened to all security, FBI, CIA etc?
If the terrorists were Arabs or Palestinians then they would have taken the planes to Israel and dropped it at the head of the mass killer Sharon. In all likelihood Israel and the Zionists in high places of the Government of Unites States are responsible for the cowardly and inhumane attacks. The reasons are as follows:
Motives:
To defame Muslims and Islam so that Americans and Europeans may not enter in the folds of Islam.
Worlds attention be deviated from the almost continuous and constant daily killings of innocent Palestinians and gravest possible massacre of human rights by Israel
To harass Muslims in USA and other Western countries.
To fail annual anniversary of Mass Killings of Shatilla and Sabira refugee camps where thousands of innocent unarmed women, children and elderly were axed to death by active Israeli participation
The Past is the mirror of the Present. Israel had been involved in many terrorist attacks against USA and the West including:
Sinking of USA naval ship Liberty and killing several USA naval personnel.
Killing of 200 US marines in Beirut
Stealing Uranium from Pennsylvania and developing over 300 atomic bombs
Robbing trillions of dollars from USA economy
Capturing business, media, health, justice and politics though the worst unethical means, Killing USA society through pornography, gambling and underground crimes
Bombing World Trade Center by hidden Mossad agent of Israel i.e. Josie Hudas and blaming his driver Salama and then using Salama to defame Islam and Muslims and put several innocent Muslims behind bars. An American Lady Lawyer described this as the worst massacre of Justice in USA. Killing of President John F. Kennedy
Killing of Princes Diana when she was about to marry a Muslim Storage of arms and ammunition in Israeli embassies e.g. in Spain to supply the weapons to various criminal and terrorists groups in Europe Brutal attack on Chechnya through Muscovite Jew Mr. Putin. The move was fully backed by State Secretary James Baker and Vice President Al-Gore who personally visited Moscow to give green signal. Later delicious chocolates were provided to Russian soldiers who were actively involved in genocide.
Killings of the popular president of Georgia in order to bring Shawardnaze (A die hard Zionist) as President. The move was fully supported by US Government.
This is the high time to educate USA public who is made hostage of baseball, women, wine, crimes, and lust and poor economy. These nave Americans must be educated about reality and truth. The current attack on USA is highly organized, orchestrated and coordinated carried out with full support of the USA administration. This support must have come from the Zionist elements deeply entrenched in USA administration. Anwar Ul Haque 19.09.2001
WTC - A Conspiracy!: Assalamualaikum, Well, aku pun sebenarnya....... memang tengah tengok BBC live time tu. Masa plane kedua crashed.... perkh, memang unbelieveable! Tapi, aku rasa ni semua bukan kerja terrorist le. Maybe conspiracy la..... don't you think?? Alah, Amerika.... setakat nak bunuh Presiden Kennedy pun boleh? Bunuh orang kulit hitam pun senang2 je (Klu Klax Klan)..... apetah lagi nak runtuhkan banggunan World Trade Center?? Harganya pun 400 Million Dollar je! Lagipun kan..... aku dengar le, penghuni World Trade Center tu sempat evacuated the buildings dalam masa tak sampai 2 minit. Means, masa serangan kedua tu nak sampai.... dah hampir 80% penghuni berjaya keluar daripada banggunan. Kawan aku cakap, maybe loceng kecemasan dibunyikan sebelum serangan dilancarkan lagi. Means, dah ada orang dalam yang tahu serangan akan dilakukan. Atau, maybe terorrist tu kesian kut?... Nanti ramai sangat pulak yang mati?? Second, masa aku tengok Presiden Bush tu dapat berita tu kan?.... (alah, masa dia di Florida, kat sekolah tadika layan budak2)... sikit pun dia tak terkejut. Siap angguk-angguk kepala lagi. Kira, macam dia dapat berita gembira je pulak? Maybe macam ni dialog dia:
FBI: Mr. President, everything was on schedule.....
Bush: ......Hmm.... (angguk-angguk kepala).
Lepas tu, satu lagi yang agak pelik ialah macam mana empat plane kena hi-jack terus sekaligus? Kalau satu je tu, boleh difikirkan logik lagi... nie empat sekaligus. Perkh! Power betul terrorist tu. Sampai boleh plan macam tu sekali?? Setakat yang aku tahu laa.... Terrorist Arab kat Amerika ni, berani letupkan banggunan je. Tu pun nasib le dapat buat letupan. Tu pun, bila siasat... sorang je pun orang Arab yang betul2 ditangkap sebab buat mende tu semua. Yang lain, orang Amerika Yahudi jugak?!  Lepas tu, tadi aku dengar pulak kisah dua buah kereta sewa yang disyakki telah digunakan oleh hijackers..... telahpun berjaya diberkas.... aku dengar pulak, kunun-kunun di dalamnya ada manual macam mana nak bawak kapal terbang dalam "arabic language". Lepas tu, ada vedio (macam handycam) ajar macam mana nak bawak plane. Dan, disyakki orang yang hijack tu ialah berbangsa Arab. Aku rasa, ini betul2 "reka cerita" laaa. Kalau aku le, boleh buat cerita..... senang je, letak kereta.... and letak manual in arabic, pastu tuduh..... orang Iraq ke? Orang Iran ke?  Lagipun, tak logic.... kalau dah tau boleh bawak kapal terbang, & dah well planned..... nak simpan lagi manual 'how to pilot the plane'? Takkan sampai gitu sekali bodoh orang arab tu, kalau dah dikatakan terer sangat boleh "plan" nak serang menggunakan 4 plane sekaligus?? Tak rasa pelik ke? Kalau aku je orang arab tu nak hijack?.... Buat apa kalau dah tau nak mati, pegi datang tinggalkan bukti lagi (macam kereta, manual dll)? Lagi baik datang naik teksi je..... Kan ke mudah? Dan lebih selamat, serta tiada bukti yang akan ditinggalkan?? Lepas tu, aku fikir lagi..... kalau setakat nak buktikan dalam plane tu ada ramai mangsa kena hijack, diaorang boleh "erase" je penumpang tu dengan menggunakan cara2 diaorang sendiri (Macam landing dulu kat mana2 yang kita semua tak tahu, turunkan penumpang and lepas tu suruh some of the penumpang tu buat panggilan kepada keluarga diaorang, cakap ada hijack ke apa ke? Berlakon.... and lepas tu erased.... <--- dapat duit, dan diberi perlindungan seumur hidup oleh FBI!). Kalaupun diaorang tak erase..... alah, dah banyak nyawa orang yang tak bersalah dikorbankan sebelum ni, apatah lagi macam tu? Senang2 je demi kepentingan politik Yahudi. Aku dengar pulak berita terbaru, Powell cakap..... ada connection terrorist tu dengan Pakistan. Haaa, nampak sangat.... nak tuduh Pakistan. Mentang2 le Perdana Menteri baru Pakistan tu Kolonel Tentera?! Lepas tu, Pakistan kan ada Senjata Nuklear?? Saja la nak jadik alasan tu..... lepas tu, tuduh Pakistan mungkin melindungi Osama Bin Laden bersama2 dengan kerjasama Teleban, Iran dan Iraq. Kalau dah takde kerja tu, diam2 je la cukup. Ni sampai sanggup create "shadow" atau "dummy" terrorist untuk mengkaburi mata2 dunia!!!!! Blah la Amerika.... takde siapa nak kesiankan kau.  Itu la, selalu sangat buat pesta kat World Trade Center tu.... dah le buat dengan duit haram / riba dan sebagainya..... bagus le tu.  Nauzubillah, jangan le jadi macam tu kat KLCC. Amin.  OKlah..... boleh kita bincang lagi lain kali.... -Alpine2.
ps: Ini melalui bacaan dan pendapat aku je..... cuba kita sama2 fikirkan. Kalau betul pun ini kerja terrorist.... agak2, siapa punya kerja? Osama bin Laden cakap, dia tak buat (jurucakap dia bagitau). Teleban pun cakap tak. Hamas pun tak. Habis??  BruDirect User 17.09.2001
Sad Lives Lost: There should be more than a fair amount of sympathy towards them, whoever and wherever they may be and indeed it is a very sad day for USA because many innocent lives were lost. But don't forget that many innocent lives were also lost and continue to be lost still in the Middle East countries each day and they too have been sad for all their lives. So have been the Bosnians.

Disgusted: It makes me so sick and to read that in this day and age there is still so much raciest remarks from my fellow Bruneians. Why is everyone condemning each other because of religion or PAST conflicts? I think whatever religion you choose for yourself, it does not teach you to condemn each other. I think we should divert our attention to the fact that there are still thousand of friends of families of those affected by this tragedy than argue with each other over who we should be at war with or who is right or wrong. This it the 21st century and we should leave all these BARBARIC thoughts to HISTORY. With education level so high in Brunei, I am really sick to the stomach to hear one of the many ignorant comments made in this column. Please stop classifying each other by their religion or race. Stop dwelling on the past and start to love each other no matter where they are from or who or what they believe in. Annoyed 17.09.2001
Osama bin Laden: ...yes we should never support any kind of terrorist attacks on any innocent people such the September 11 on WTC/Pentagon. Killing people is not part of life.....nor .......... part of any religion....
Just because this guy, Osama bin Laden is said to be the mastermind/financial supporter of the attack - Afghan people should not be punished and not a even a single soul to be killed !!!! Now Muslims in America and UK are targeted for revenge attacks..... yes Muslims there are in fear.
For all American people the  young and old...we Muslims are not murderers nor terrorists!!!!!  Just because a group of terrorists from "Al-Qaida" had done this all-evil thing does not represent the purity of Islam nor its lovely, peaceful community.....
If America wants Osama bin Laden - you can have him if you can prove his guilt but not innocent souls..... Nation of Peace 17.09.2001
Danny Wong and Amedeo: Why should Danny Wong be given special permission to use teleconference to give evidence and defend himself? If he is a real gentleman, he should come to Brunei personally instead of giving all those unacceptable excuses. He is scared because he and everyone know that all the money and riches belong to Brunei and were obtained through illegal and immoral means when he was working under Amedeo.
Danny Wong should be brought back to Brunei the way Awang Kassim was forcefully brought to Brunei. He knows he is guilty and if Brunei cannot try him in Brunei Court I pray to God that he perished in Hell together with all his cronies, families and friends and anyone connected with Amedeo. Danny Boy aburobto01@hotmail.com 17.09.2001
Be hard line with Danny Wong: To All Readers, If Danny has nothing to fear, he should come back to Brunei and face the court in person. He should be held totally responsible for the downfall of resulting from this crisis including Jefri’s alleged misdeeds.
The High Court did a good job in withholding ALL Danny Wong's assets. I really  don't understand how a retarded Danny Wong could get his hands so deep into Brunei treasury pocket. This shows that Brunei should have a check and balance  system and hold all officials responsible with their actions. Otherwise Brunei will only go backward and be screwed around by these bandits.
I think Brunei should issue a warrant for Danny Wong and he be made an example of this shocking criminal deed. Johnny Wong j_wong@yahoo.com 17.09.2001
Taleban: Serve you right! I hope you all will learn from your stupid mistakes. May you feel the heat of death. No doubt you guys and MR Osama Laden will face Allah and explain how you guys single-handedly destroyed the good name of Islam by promoting mass killings of innocent people.

WIII? World War III? Is this what we want? How many INNOCENT lives have been lost in the destruction of the World Trade Centre? I know that most Bruneians do not support the idea of USA's plan to bomb Afghanistan. But I would like to pose this question. Do Bruneians support the idea of Afghanistan bombing USA? Or let's rephrase the question: do you support terrorism? In either way, we should pray very hard so that both sides won't resort to violence in solving this major crisis. Here is a question to reflect on: is it right to kill people (including children, the aged and the disabled and handicapped) in God's or Allah's name? If the answer is yes, what if you were there in the World Trade Centre building that day, on the topmost part of the building?
We really have to pray hard. Let's start praying now. Cyndi Lau mysteriousfan@excite.com 17.09.2001

Islam, Amerika dan Pengganas: Entah mengapakah orang Islam memilih keganasan sebagai cara untuk memperjuangkan Islam. Islam bermakna damai,aman dan sejahtera. Kenapa perlu orang Islam menjadi pembunuh, perogol, perosak harta-benda dan perompak di dalam perjuangan mereka. Saya rasa Islam tidak membenarkan sama sekali perbuatan itu. Kenapakah orang Pelastin berpecah belah dan bermusuhan sesama sendiri. Satu golongan mahukan kedamaian, satu golongan lagi mengekalkan permusuhan terhadap Israel. Di dalam perdamaian wujudnya pembangunan umat Islam yang lebih mantap. Berdamai dengan Israel tidak bererti orang Palestin/Islam leka dan lalai dengan apa yang dikecapi. Sifat berhati-hati dan berawas perlulah ada. Perbuatan Saddam Hussien menakluk Kuwait adalah satu perbuatan yang bodoh dan hanya mementingkan ego dan agenda sendiri. Adalah lebih baik ia menyerang terus Israel.Kalau tidak pun membekalkan senjata kepada Pelastin secara diam-diam. Saddam Hussein adalah sama sahaja seperti George Bush/Clinton. George Bush/Bill Clinton mempertahankan Kuwait untuk menjaga kepentingan Amerika kerana Kuwait adalah sumber minyak Amerika. Iraq sekarang sudah lemah . Adalah lebih baik jika pada ketika itu dunia Islam menumpuhkan perhatiannya kepada masalah Palestin dan Bosnia serta lain-lain tempat di dunia Islam yang bermasalah. Saddam Hussein lebih rela melihat rakyatnya mati menderita dan menjadi perlarian. Saddam Hussein tamakkan hasil minyak Kuwait sebagaimana Amerika tamakkan hasil minyak negara-negara Teluk Parsi. Agenda utama ialah minyak bukanlah ISLAM. Selepas peperangan Soviet-Afganistan, sepatutnya ~~~~~ rakyat Afgans bersatu. Mereka yang menjadi perlarian di negeri orang balik semula ke negeri asal untuk membina semula negeri mereka yang telah musnah. Bukannya berperang sesama sendiri, entah bila ia akan berakhir. Islam dan ajarannya bolehlah ditegakkan secara aman damai dan melalui proses yang boleh diterima oleh ~~~~~ rakyat. Akibat peperangan saudara, ramai rakyat terbunuh. Dibunuh oleh mereka yang sebangsa dan seagama. Ramai yang berterusan dan baru menjadi perlarian di negeri orang. Bukankah itu menyusahkan orang. Walaupun begitu, kita orang Islam bersaudara sepatutnya kita mesti tolong-menolong di antara satu dengan yang lain di kala senang dan di kala susah. Saya memang setuju dengan saranan Dr.Mahathir Mohammad untuk tidak menyebelahi mana-mana pihak dalam kes yang kita hadapi sekarang. Kalau orang Islam membunuh orang bukan Islam, janganlah kita orang mengatakan orang Islam itu benar dan orang bukan Islam itu salah. Jika orang Kristian membunuh orang Islam janganlah orang Kristian itu mengatakan "biarkan saja, mereka itu orang Islam". Di dunia ini kita yang berbagai bangsa dan agama boleh hidup dengan harmoni dan aman damai. Janganlah agama, bangsa, fahaman, dan asal keturunan menjadi sebab kita berbalah bahkan berbunuh dan bermusuhan tanpa kesudahan. Osama bin Laden adalah pengganas dan pembunuh bukanlah pejuang Islam yang sejati. Tanpa keganasan saya rasa beliau masih boleh memperjuangkan Islam melalui kekayaan dan kepintaran yang ada padanya, satu perjuangan yang boleh diterima dengan baik oleh masyarakat antarabangsa dan ~~~~~ masyarakat Afganistan sendiri. Janganlah pintar tapi bodoh. Menyokong dan memberikan semangat kepada keganasan telah memburukkan imej Islam sebagai agama yang mementingkan kedamaian. Tetapi malangnya, Islam dan orang telah dilabel sebagai pengganas. Kesucian Islam itu sendiri telah tercemar oleh orang-orang yang mengaku dirinya beragama Islam.  Memanglah disedari keganasan terhadap Amerika adalah hasil usaha Amerika sendiri iaitu sifat tidak adil dalam polisi antarabangsanya. Amerika sepatutnya, dengan kuasa yang ada padanya, menghalang Israel daripada menjahanamkan orang Pelastin. Amerika hendaklah berkecuali di antara keduanya. Biarlah pihak pemerhati antarabangsa mengawasi proses perdamaian Israel-Pelastin. Kalau Israel itu terlalu keras kepala dan bebal, serang saja sebagaimana Amerika menyerang Iraq dahulu. Apakah faedahnya Israel terhadap Amerika? Adakah Amerika takut dengan kaum Yahudi di Amerika? Adakah orang Yahudi berkuasa di Amerika? Kalau sudah tahu Saddam Hussein itu keras kepala, BIARKAN dengan dirinya. Rakyat Iraq adalah orang yang teruk menderita bukanlah pihak pemerintahnya. Saddam Hussein masih OK. Belum apa-apa lagi. Kenapa perlu mengorbankan rakyat Iraq yang tidak berdosa hanya kerana benci Amerika(Pemimpin Amerika) terhadap Saddam Hussein. Kalau kita amat-amati di dunia ini mestilah ada negara super power untuk menstabilkan dunia ini. Superpower hendaklah menggunakan kuasanya dan kekuatannya dengan sebaik mungkin. Superpower tidak boleh bersikap tidak adil dan mementingkan diri sendiri. Jangan superpowerlah memperalatkan negara-negara lain untuk kepentingan diri sendiri dan melakukan kekejaman di negara orang. Akhirnya, Amerika, superpower yang unggul pada ketika ini, perlulah menilai dirinya sendiri kenapa serangan ke atas WTC dan Pentagon itu terjadi. Janganlah angkuh dan sombong. Di Amerika sendiri ramai orang Islam bahkan berpuluh juta. Mereka boleh hidup harmoni bersama rakyat Amerika lain. Islam telah dapat ditegakkan berdasarkan keutamaan dan realiti. Bukanlah tergesa-gesa dan melalui keganasan. Ia melalui proses yang boleh diterima oleh ~~~~~ orang dan iklim di Amerika. Kita tidak mahu wujudnya Osama bin Laden di kalangan kita. Kita perlu berawas dan bersiap siaga dengan kewujudan pengganas yang bertopengkan Islam dan mereka yang kononnya memperjuangkan agama Islam. Mereka-mereka ini sudah wujud di Filipina, Indonesia dan Malaysia. Tidak tahulah di Brunei. Hati-hati saja. Orang Brunei jua 16.09.2001
Nepotism - Abdul Khaliq: When you haven't noticed people around you practising the despicable act of nepotism, this does not necessarily imply that others in other situations are the same. That's plain logic. "Orang Biasa" may have been right in not disclosing names probably for fear of incriminating the welfare of others or merely for ethical reasons. Let the authorities decide their move. I wonder why is the issue of mentioning names so important to you? Were you the one in fear of being mentioned by "Orang Biasa"? Why the insistence when the issue here is only to highlight the real happenings in our community at large without the need to mention names. Wisdom, my dear Abdul Khaliq, is what distinguishes us all apart!  Orang Inda Biasa 16.09.2001
Need improvements before Tele-Medicine: It is a good idea to have Tele-Medicine in Brunei Darussalam but before starting these modern things, the authorities should improve a lot of other hospital functions. For example:
1) Medicine supply. Common phenomenon to observe the necessary medicines are many a time out of stock.
2) Pharmaceutical Services - Improvements in Out-Patient Pharmacy, Polyclinic Pharmacy and In-Patient Pharmacy. The country has yet to have a Satellite Pharmacy in hospitals in Brunei.
3) Need to network all the hospital services soon before Tele-medicine can be implemented.
4) Medical record system needs urgent upgrading. Ali Ahmad 16.09.2001

Attitude that got us in trouble: KERBAU: That’s exactly what has happened to us in this Amedeo Fiasco. Pure ignorant bliss on the part of Bruneians. And, if you don’t mind me asking, what do you mean by a “Brunei citizen” but not a subject??? I am a Brunei subject and therefore a Brunei citizen. Regarding Khoo Ban Hock, you were most probably not born yet at that time, so ask your elders or the news people. Best Regards. Stupid 16.09.2001

BERITA "PENGGUNA":Peramba/Saya ingin meberi sedikit pendapat disini mengenai dengan  BERITA RTB. Barangkali sudah lama perkara mengenai set berita TV atu kena tagur oleh orang ramai, tapi abis pengiran/Tuan inda jua ambil tahu usulnya kan menukar. Kenapa? kami pun inda tahu. Padahal suara ramai sudah voting inda suka dengan set atu. Orang memberi teguran bukan untuk apa dan untuk siapa.... tapi untuk kepentingan kitani bersama jua, nama baik kitani.
Satu lagi mengenai dengan segmen PENGGUNA. Kaola/Saya rasa terlampau banyak kekurangannya di sana. Pertama sekali Kaola/Peramba saya rasa segmen atu inda sesuai untuk berita. Kedua VERY BORING dari segi penulisan, bahan, dan yang utama sekali PELAKUNNYA.Jumaat lepas (14-09-2001) segmen mengenai PLUMBING! Pelakun berlakun di dalam jamban. Idea nya boleh diterima untuk nampak REAL lah tu katakan sebab paip yang rosak ialah paip Jamban. TAPI yang inda nyaman diliat, Usul jamban atu....teruk sangat!!! seolah menampakkan yang orang Brunei ani jambannya teruk, inda Hygenic, inda bersih, tile dinding pacah memacah, paip pun bekarak. DAN YANG PALING HEBAT SEKALI......PELAKUNNYA. Terutama yang bini-bini atu. Peramba/Saya inda pasti samada bini-bini atu cina atau melayu ataupun bangsa lain. Tapi Tuan atau Puan pengarah atu, sepatutnya peka akan penampilan pelakun berkenaan.Orang Brunei saja namanya. Sudah tah rambutnya MERAH, Pakaian KETAT, Mekap lagi ITAM. Miatukah caranya kitani menunjukkan orang Brunei??? Cubatah memilih pelakun atu bisai-bisai sedikit. Jangan yang usulnya....entah... macam apa!!! Cubatah dih kalau boleh abiskita membuat pemantauan dan pehatian serius mengenai perkara berita memberita ani!!! Wassalam. Pengiran Haji 16.09.2001

Work ethics: Inda amanah, I read your daily work ethics. You know what just carry on as you are and I guarantee you will get promoted all the way up to be the Permanent Secretary. This country likes people like you who don’t create any waves and lie low. Don’t be clever and outshine your bosses. Keep low profile and wait for promotion. Meanwhile act dumb. Already proven case in Brunei of officials trying to move the economy forward and be transparent and accountable in their job. What happened to them I think we all know. So I congratulate your work ethic and look forward to seeing you as our future leader. God bless us all. Venus 16.09.2001
Nepotism by Orang Biasa: Your style ani tah nada bagus. Apa lagi kan ditapok-tapok!? You see you pun sama jua, just because you know some of those you claim to be involved in practising nepotism but then you refuse to name them. Apa lah! You see I am very surprised about your allegation (and also by others) because I know a number of people both in the public and private sectors who are involved in recruitment of staff and officers and none of them, I repeat, NONE, would take any applicant just simply based on saudara mara, or someone they know.

Danny Wong: I wonder why Danny Wong says that he's afraid to come down to Brunei and saying that he was not the MD!!! What is the real reason behind all of that....If he is last part of the missing puzzle behind the AMEDEO fiasco why isn’t the guy brought back to Brunei like we did to one of JP's closes party in the Philippines.. You know who I'm talking about.....if it’s true he is in Hong Kong or elsewhere he should be hunted down whether he likes it or not ..... or this sad episode will never end. ****** 15.09.2001
Invincible Man: To STUPID.  Just as a matter of curiosity as a Brunei citizen (not a subject), could you kindly please elaborate more on the 'Khoo Ban Hock' case during the 80's.   Until now, especially as a SUBJECT, we are still unaware of the actual fiasco.   Who were actually involved?  What actually happened?  What did we do to avoid it from happening again?  Funny isn't it, the SAME questions arise.  Coincidence? May be.   Try to get more facts.   Try to start in the UK, may be you'll find more info.   It is therefore IMPORTANT for us as the general public to find out what exactly happened before making any COMMENTS, DEDUCTIONS or ASSUMPTIONS.   Otherwise we will be deceived by our own arrogance.

America's New War: A War Against Its Ego: I hope America include Israel as a country who support terrorism and being terrorist itself.  Israel murders innocent Palestinians almost everyday. Israel should be punished. If not, America is considered to be supporter of terrorism and terrorists. The terrorists (who attacked WTC and Pentagon) is America's creation. If the US do attack (Afghanistan) they will continue create more terrorism as they too WILL kill INNOCENT Afghans. That would include pregnant women and children! Therefore, it would be nothing different from terrorist acts on WTC and Pentagon this America's attack on Afghanistan. 2) America should condemn OPENLY Israel especially from White House and in the UN whenever America condemn terrorism.

Amedeo Bankruptcy: Be it you are overseas and fear of returning to Brunei, you are still liable to stand trial in a court of law.  The Prince returned and faced the court, why aren't his cronies?  These people are the true gold diggers of our nation.  Our court of law should not just only insist on Danny Wong stand trial via video conferencing, if you have a part in the demise of the company, you should stand trail and face the court of law in person. After all, Danny Wong knew in the first place what and where Amedeo was heading for.  He bloody well knew how to reap the profits, but when the business failed, he cowardly runs into hiding!!!!  How can we let irresponsible people like this be leaders in our business community??

Hoax: Forget Nostradamus! I have read many of his prophecies a few years back... but none came true! There might be a slight resemblance, but not exactly accurate. No one can predict the future precisely; it is only in the Knowledge of Almighty Allah! Believing in Qadha and Qadar is one of the pillars of Faith, any predictions which happens to come true is only mere coincidence. Shhh shahidah74@yahoo.com 15.09.2001
Confiscate all Danny Wong’s assets and hang him: Dear All Bruneians,
It is evident that Danny Wong is mishandling his authority. He should return or Brunei government should confiscate all his asset and put him away for the rest of his life.

Nostradamus: According to Nostradamus, the first two anti-Christ were extremely
evil, and history has shown this to be so; however, Nostradamus  speaks of a third anti-Christ who is more hideous than all the others combined.  Some say Sadaam Hussein, the dictator from Iraq, could be this evil tyrant.  Others say that he has not yet appeared.  What does Nostradamus say about this third anti-Christ?  First, Nostradamus tells us he will come from the Middle East.
     Out of the country of Greater Arabia
     Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed...
     He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban.
     He will be the terror of mankind.
     Never more horror.
Here, Nostradamus says that a man from Greater Arabia will lead his forces on an invasion through Europe.  This invasion will start a third world war that will be far worse than all the other wars put together  (Guentte).  When will all this take place?  In one quatrain Nostradamus gives us an exact date in which the war will be well
under way.
     In the year 1999 and seven months
     From the sky will come the great King of Terror.
     He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols;
     Before and after war reigns.

Nostradamus predicts  the war will begin shortly before the year 1999  (Roberts 191).  He also tells us how long the war will last.
     The war will last seven and twenty years.  (Guentte)
Nostradamus says that the war will be so terrible that the world will come face to face with final annihilation.  Here, he implies that the war might involve some kind of horrible weapon, possibly nuclear.  Nostradamus tells what the first target will be.
     The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
     Fire approaches the great new city.
In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of America near forty-five degrees latitude.  Experts agree this could only be New York.
     By fire he will destroy their city,
     A cold and cruel heart,
     Blood will pour,
     Mercy to none.  (Guentte)
Although Nostradamus 's predictions for our future sound frightening he does give us some hope by telling us how this third world war will end.  He says it will end as a result of an unexpected alliance.
     When those of the Northern Pole are united,
     In the East will be great fear and dread...
     One day the two great leaders will be friends;
     Their great powers will be seen to grow.
     The New Land will be at the height of its power:
     To the man of blood the number is reported.
The new land was a common term used by Nostradamus to refer to what we now call America.  The countries of the northern pole could be Russia and the United States.  We have recently seen the breakdown of Communism in Russia and an increasing friendship between Russia and the U.S. Melyssa B 15.09.2001
EH: It is a tragedy for us as Bruneians or foreigners who worked in Brunei whose minds are not focused on the nation. When I read the headlines in one of the newspapers, I was shocked, angry, and felt disgusted against these people who wrote about our prestigious 6 star hotel to be ripped off. How on earth we Bruneians let these people (local & foreigners) run the News Express if they are not capable of protecting Brunei’s interest. We all know that the Empire Hotel was completed for the good of the nation to serve the world leaders during APEC summit. Since its doors were opened to public, the Hotel had made progress in almost every manner, and improvements were made to the service thanks to the complaints and feedbacks received from its honoured guests. Do you (media concerned) know the impact of publishing that low quality opinion from a group of terrorists who have ripped off our treasure. I don't know the actual number of staff there but there must be at least 400 locals working in that Hotel. (Be careful with what you say now). You will know the outcome if you realise that you are the cause of taking away their daily rice bowl. The other thing is trespassing onto the land which Govt owns is already an act of terrorism!  I let you think about it. Ismail Ali aerime@hotmail.com 15.09.2001
Why? How about American bombing of Iran, Iraq and Sudan that killed so many innocent people?  How does America feel now, that's how Iraq people feel, but America has committed aggression all over the world, the recent events in New York and Washington will be a reminder to the American people and who support American aggression.

Performance of Civil Servant: We do not have to question as to why people in the government sector are slow, lazy or whatever you call it because it’s normal human nature to be like that. That is why some countries race against time to corporatize their government engines so that the country can get rid of red tape and other unnecessary administrative delays. Promotion to staff can be made by the board of directors not with JPA or SPA getting involved. Pay rise can be implemented without getting the sanction of ministry of finance or JPM or whoever and strictly on merit basis! How's that sound? Congratulations to JTB for taking meaningful strides to achieve privatisation. Others should follow, How about JPA? or INSPA? or DES? Dennis Hakeem merc300s@yahoo.com 15.09.2001
Best Wishes: For several years I had the honour of serving the Royal Family of Brunei as a member of their Security Staff when they came to the United States.  I was mainly involved with the family of Prince Jefri.  Whatever problems they are going through now I am sure that they will overcome everything and return to being a happy family.
I can only say that I respected them because they respected me.  I knew them only as good people.  My prayers are with them and I hope to hear from them again very soon.  I know them not as my employers but also as very good friends with all due respect. Ruben Martinez oooorbn@aol.com 15.09.2001
Invincible Man: Funny enough, back in the 80s we managed to jail a Malaysian tycoon's son Mr. Khoo Ban Hock for $1 billion. And now for almost $6 billion, we can’t get a nobody like Mr Danny Wong.

So, Mr. Danny Wong, our invitation is still open before it’s too late. Stupid 15.09.2001

HOAXADRAMUS?: "In the city of York there will be a great collapse/  Two twin brothers torn apart by chaos/    While the fortress falls the great leader will succumb/    Third big war will begin when the big city is burning" is NOT by Nostradamus," read a statement on www.nostradamus-repository.org, a Web site for Nostradamus study, Reuters reported from Singapore yesterday. Another quatrain, "The big war will begin when the big city is burning/   on the 11th day of the 9th month that.../  two metal birds would crash into two tall statues/   in the new city and the world will end soon after,"  is  said to be another Hoaxadramus. "In the year of the new century and nine months/    From the sky will come a great King of Terror, The sky will burn at forty-five degrees/   Fire approaches the new city" corresponds roughly to a verse in Nostradamus's Century (section) Six, Quatrain 97. This quatrain's first line refers to September 2001, the ninth month in the first year of the new century, while the 45 degrees is interpreted as the latitude of the city of New York, several Nostradamus books speculated. But New York lies just below 41 degrees latitude and Nostradamus's verse does not mention a great war, the report said. Whatever war there is is an Hoaxdramus war. Happy prophesying!

FILIPINO TIME: Most of the Filipinos working in the World Trade Centre twin tower survived the tragedy, while six or seven are reported missing. Most of them were late reporting for work. Sometimes, Filipino time can save lives, according to the CNN. Only one of the two towers was insured, because experts believed the two towers won’t collapse at the same timen. But that’s another story. JUAN TAMAD 14.09.2001
Osama: Why kill Osama bin Ladin? If he is killed then there will likely be another Osama, perhaps even more terrible. Attack the root social cause and then there would be no fear of another terrorist attack. Soothsayer. 14.09.2001
For Crying Out Loud: Terrorists are born out of desperation and neglect. When a group’s needs are not met and when no one wants to hear their story and when they feel there is no justice in this world and when they feel beaten and downtrodden they are likely to resort to terror as a last option. That is a thought that US policy makers should keep readily in mind. Second Thoughts. 14.09.2001

US Bombing: It is saddening to watch what just happened in the US.  My heart goes out to those victims and their families.  It makes me sadder to read of the utterly senseless comments coming from some of us.  And it is totally unfair and insensitive to justify the loss of innocent lives of those in WTC and Pentagon with the seemingly "anti-Islamic" foreign policy approach of the US government.  If you think that these victims somehow deserve to suffer the terror, then you are simply wrong.  I used to live in New York and in Washington D.C. and at times brought Bruneian friends and relatives to these tragic places.  And to think that any one of us could have been there at that particular time.  And I am not at all surprised if Muslims are amongst those who perished in the two places.  That is the whole point; terrorism punishes the innocent - it is the highest form of cowardice.  They don't go after their real enemies because they know that they cannot.  So they inflict pain to those who may have nothing to do with their supposed struggle; and at the end create hatred and resentment against those they claim to be helping.  And we have already seen fellow Muslims in the US paying the price.  And this is a country where Muslims are beginning to be accepted as part of society.  Muslims are making progress and that has not been easy.  There are new mosques, increasing number of Muslims, White House celebrating Eid-el Fitri, Iftar at the Capitol Hill.  What the terrorists have done is to turn the clock back.  They only reconfirm the stereotype and build the atmosphere of hatred.  Many Muslims find the US a place to make a decent living; to improve themselves; through education; and it is only sad that they would find it much harder to do so in the future.

US: Islam is a religion of peace. Because of some heartless and barbaric 'acts' made by several Moslems ( the hijackers and those involved) the non-moslems now have negative perceptions on our religion. Masya-Allah. What these hijackers did was not Islamic at all and to me it doesn't seem or sound like 'jihad' or 'holy war at all' and this was also stated by the ulamas in Saudi. Why commit suicide when Islam prohibits its followers to end their own lives in any way. I was really sad when I heard one of the politicians interviewed expressed his concern about the spread of Islam in the United States- there's no reason to feel threatened by Islam. I was horrified to see the impacts of such attacks on the Moslem community in the US. Suddenly some non-Moslems in the US see Moslems as terrorists... The attacks on the US no doubt were barbaric..why WTC some of the people who were there during the attacks could be Moslems, pregnant women, fathers and mothers or they might even have nothing against our religion. I just pray that whoever is behind these horrific attacks would be punished. God is fair and only God knows who is wrong and who is right... Pijak bumi nyata 14.09.2001

new scam in yayasan: There is a new company in Yasasan Complex ,second floor, next to Mohan Carpet. Beware of this company. Last Sunday a lady in Brunei accent called my father at home saying that my father had won lucky draw prizes for buying many electrical appliances in the past. My father was puzzle by this, as he never entered any lucky draw before. Out of curiosity, my father went to their office in Yayasan last monday. In there he was greeted by local and foreign staffs. He showed his i/c and demanded to see his winning prizes, the local Malay lady told my father to make a dip and later told my father that he had won five valuable items. My father was so happy winning those prizes, but he was later surprised  to learn that he must first 'purchase' the company’s product before he was entitled to the prizes. All the items sold by the company is not popular and costing more than $1000 each. The girl also told my father that the prizes is not available yet and will be delivered in the future! This is a 'total scam'. how come they call my father to come and collect the prizes which did not even exist yet and further forced my father to buy their product. So Brunei public must be aware, they are targeting senior citizen only. To the local staff, stop cheating on behalf of foreign company, and I swear to God that I will take revenge against you personally even if I have to break the law, YOU STARTED ALL THIS, YOU MUST ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES. anti penipu 14.09.2001
Missed opportunities: Its a shame that our Friday prayers' sermon focused on smoking cigarettes. I would have thought it would be good of our religious conservatives to take the current event in WTC to unite all Muslims to pray for those who died in the terrorist attack in USA.

US Attacks: As the dust settles and as heads clear over the World Trade Centre and other attacks on US territory questions must be asked as to the purpose of these barbaric actions. Why did the attacks take place to ensure maximum destruction and unacceptable loss of life? What do the perpetuators of this cowardly escapade hope to gain? World attention perhaps. If that is so they have received more than their share. They have perhaps brought the mighty US to its knees. But at the same time they are in danger of losing the sympathy of a large section of the world population who abhor such dastardly acts and would hardly want to lend their support for those who are bent on violence and chaos. bohari hassan boh@hotmil.com 13.09.2001

Therefore, it is forbidden in Islam. They brought shame to Islam and to its PEOPLE whereas ISLAM means PEACE. They (the CULPRITS NOT the innocents) should be punished. BUT: I think America=Israel=Osama bin Laden=Terrorist. Therefore, we should condemn America (SELECTED PERSONS ONLY). We should condemn Israel. We should condemn Osama bin Laden (and any similar persons). We should condemn TERRORIST/TERRORISM. They are all TERRORISTS. Question? What Mr.Bush can do with Israel who murder Pelastinians almost everyday? All he is doing is just TALKING NO ACTION. He is AFRAID of Israel and the JEWS. Agree?

Tribute to America: I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the innocent lives taken away in America. With all my heart and prayers for those who have suffered tremendously and in grief. This tragedy is shocking and devastating as we only see it on the movies. Imagine either one of us was there to witness the horrendous incident. The heartless and cruel terrorists should not be allowed to take away so many of the innocent lives regardless of the hatred towards America but to find a better way to deal with them. And America will retaliate which is not a good plan because this could lead to WW3 then everyone in this world will be in great danger. President Bush should try to set out tighter rules and regulations so as to prevent further disturbances in the country although a lot of blame is on him. Maybe he wasn't meant to be nominated as a president after Clinton as he isn't that good to be one. Let us put our hands together and pray for peace on earth. God Bless!!! Coral Raine 13.09.2001
Where/Who/What is America: Who are the Real Terrorists? America. Where are the Americans? I don’t know (But I know when they were under attack) What is America, the country which helps the others to fight against each other..... Conclusion......You turned yourself Terrorists everywhere against America. HELLAMERICA 13.09.2001
NY Attack: To Chuckie and those who supports the NY attack. Well you people are sick and posses inhuman minds. Disregard what Bush had done to others, the important things to consider is that we have our people over there..working..studying...and there are still American-muslims over there etc.Have you ever thought of that?? Even any religious people would say...muslims who did such horrendous attack and killing the innocents are unislamic. Why are you even supporting such unislamic actions? We are all sorry for such a tragedy and condolences to all Americans. You should thing better..economically too..every body will be affected. So think thrice before jumping into silly, not-using-the-brain conclusions. MelyssaB 13.09.2001
AMERICA UNDER ATTACK!: I watched with complete and utter shock as the tragedy unfolds and seen by millions of people around the world. Though I feel sorry for those innocent lives that are killed, deep down in my heart I do feel US deserves this as a nation. For the last 50 years, they have been policing the world with their bullying tactics, double standard and hypocrisy...yet not all the people in the world realize this...the answer to this unknown information rests on the activities of the Jews who controlled the flow of world news at this moment....I happen to read a book written by an Italian Jew named Guellino (wrong spelling, I guess) among other things stated that aftermath the World War II, few leaders of the Jews convened a meeting to decide the fate of the Jews especially to discuss the sinister movement to lobby US and the (weakened) western powers for the formation of the state of Israel. Others present in the meeting gave their ideas - to strengthen their grip on the world's affairs they need to control these two things - finance and media....NOW the Federal Reserve Bank of USA is under heavy influence of the filthy rich Jews around the world and of the media (newspapers, tabloids, internets, news stations all) controlled by the Jews - the PROOF...extensive coverage on attacks on US's WTC and Pentagon...some time ago in bombings on two US Embassies in Africa (1988)...1993 bombings on WTC, 1982 suicide bombers on US Marines in Lebanon, 1988 Pan Am bombings.....BUT what about 1982 Sabra Shatilla Massacre, 1948 Dier Yassin Massacre, 1973 Yom Kippur War that saw the fall of Bar-Lev Line in Sinai, 1984 US invasion on Grenada, 1988 US cheeky hunt for Manuel Noreiga in Panama etc.......it shows that the world news is heavily manipulated by the Jews and its base is in the US....So, SO, SO,the extensive coverage lately is only serve to seek sympathy for US and her romantic ally, Israel to pursue their double standard, bullying and deceptive evil means....I have lived for almost half a decade and saw UN is there in the US yet the Palestinian problems have been there unsolved since 1948....don't tell me the Americans did not possess sense of humanity - it is proven now in this tragedy BUT Palestinian problem lingers on and on..where are the defender of democracy and human rights in the name of USA ??? It only serves half-tasks - only for Israel, Israeli people and Israeli interests around the globe.....I really wish the Americans and people in US Embassy here read this....I will write some more soon....God Bless innocent American people (excluding arrogant policy-makers) and God Bless Muslims More Than Any Creature in the short world...

America Under Attack: We should condemn terrorism (and Israel). BUT America SHOULD NOT RETALIATE. America should only bring the CULPRITS to justice by the process of the law and not involve the INNOCENCTS. Is this equation correct? America = Israel = Osama bin Laden = Terrorists. If the equation’s correct America deserved it. Orang Brunei 13.09.2001
AMERICA UNDER ATTACK!: My condolences to the families and victims of the horrific tragedy...at the same time, I am particularly amused by the extensive coverage of the news on this tragedy....the opportunity to see the shaking of the world's police -the most bullying, double-standard and arrogant country in the world....but I remember none of those opportunities were given to cover other news served to jeopardize image of the US and its most romantic ally, Israel; US interests and the interests of the Jews around the world - remember 1982 Shabra Shatilla Massacre, 1984 US invansion on Grenada, 1995 bombing on Muslims in Sebrenica, Bosnia, 1988 US cheeky operation to catch one Manuel Noriega's Panama in 1988...long ago..no extensive coverage on Dier Yassin Massacre 1948, Chernobyl 1986...the lists go on and on....the very reason is simple : Who control the world's  news system/media : THE JEWS IN AMERICA...

AMERICA UNDER ATTACK!: Salute to the world's policeman who try to dictate her beliefs throughout the world by bullying, double-standard and deceptive means! You are shaken today but not out!

America's Attack: I would like to congratulate the people doing the attack in America recently. In the past few years, Islamic countries such as Iraq & Palestine has suffered tremendous attacks from USA. and million of Islamic people killed each year. And guess what? It’s the Islamic people’s turn now to destroy the selfish and cruel America. And more also, this has proved that the US's defence and security systems are really lame and too slow. Imagine how could 4 planes being hijacked in one day. GEORGE BUSH, WE HATE YOU!! Hakim hakim502@yahoo.com 13.09.2001

WTC - Different View: A day of Retribution for our Government killing people in other countries? A counter strike from the people we bombed? This was Not accomplished by Cowards, and Freedom was not attacked. Posted on: 9/11/2001 10:41:00 AM – Columnist Our Freedoms have been under attack for a long time, but not from these attackers. We bombed with impunity all over the world smug in the false knowledge they couldn't afford these expensive weapons to hit back at us. So they hijack a few planes and give up their lives to take the battle back to the country that sent the bombs that killed their families. 
It shouldn't have come as any surprise to any, that some would retaliate any way they could. But have we learned anything? Sadly and probably not. We will most likely strike at some target and kill more innocent people, just to make our public feel avenged. This could escalate into more severe counter strikes from more surviving relatives. The Propaganda is getting thick and heavy. Truth is the first causality. The greatest tragedy will be our own Government will use this excuse to impose more Police State Authority and attempt to take more of our freedoms. When they do they will get a reaction and will have their own people to contend with. Do not condemn these attackers too much as they hit back with the only way they could. They told us what we were doing was wrong but we ignored them all these years. We could have prevented all of this if our leaders had acted with common sense when dealing with other people around the world. But as they had the idea they could do as they pleased and no one would hold them accountable. We should now honestly question what part our Government had in bringing these strikes on us. These people who attacked us are not giving up their lives for no cause. The Government Propaganda will be in high gear and we must look past it to get at the truth. Remember Truth is the first causality of war. Also note our Government is not noted for telling us the truth, even in peacetime. Keep a cool head and remember these attacks are targeting the symbols of power, not intended at the American people as the targets. People only become targets when they are in the path or in the target zone. http://www.lewisnews.com/article.asp?ID=29870.  BruDirect User 12.09.2001
World Trade Center: Note. This view is written while news is constantly updated. Like everybody else, I was glued to the telly 15 for minutes after the first mishap (the strike on the North Tower). I was amazed by the well-planned coordination of the whole operation ('terrorist attack' to some). Indeed it has been intelligently-strategically planned. Immediate death perhaps to the business/economic 'think-tank' of the Americans sitting in their offices on the top floors. 'America' stopped running for a day (or may be more) - an embarrassment to Bush's administration. How did this happen when America boast of their superior military and intelligence functions? The unthinkable is made thinkable. The destruction was devastating and God least helped them then. I feel for the innocent victims, almost cried, but there was still a sense of relief in me. Am I barbaric, when I justify these actions by accumulation of deaths of innocent Moslems around the world (in the Balkans, Africa and Mid-East) I don't know since when, more than a decade in deed. It amused me that when the Palestinians were killed, the Afghans and the Libyans were bombed, the poor Moslem-Balkans were murdered, the Iraqis were/are destroyed, no tears were shed, no actions were done (at least immediately). Is it because these destructions were not 'televised LIVE' to every corner of the world? Or we did not get James Rubin, Blair and Bush to highlight that those destructions were intentional assaults to Moslem 'democracy/world'? I try to rationalise. I thought of the businesses we (Brunei) have dealt with the Americans and economic repercussions on us. Scary. I think of the city I am living now, and I could be the next victim, Nauzubillah. Poor Americans??? Yet, they are not in ISOLATION. Blair claims ally to America not even hours later after the bombing. 9 am (UK) today Britain held talks with other NATO leaders (German, French, including Russia) of possible responses. As of now, their intention is to "sustain assault on 'terrorism' in the 'ARAB world'" (Note. ARAB=MOSLEMS). The British Army is on AMBER alert. American Force is READY. They are ready for their JUSTICE. That is the reaction when one perpetrate the US or the RICH (remember KUWAIT). By hook or by crook they will get their revenge. Now, the latest, the Afghanis-Taleban government agree to extradite 'Osama b. Laden' to the US if US can provide evidence.  This latest reaction makes me wonder whether all these had been pre-planned by the US. Was this the only way that the American can get their hands on 'Osama b. Laden', their number 1 enemy. "America do not negotiate with terrorists" that's their moto (if civilians were to die, die in the name of American democracy??). Or, was this the only way to punish the 'Taleban government' for insisting on 'Islamic movements', for the arrest of 'Christian missionaries'? They knew about the hijackings (the FBIs were working on them), yet nothing was done to intercept the devastative plot. 4 hijacks at almost the SAME TIME over American airspace. They have also been warned days before the attack. The whole episode was seen LIVE around the world and PROVED how destructive and 'inhumane' they were. The whole world is sympathetic to the so-called 'powerful' America. Have Bush and his associates waited for this to happen? Did they allow this to 'anger' the American public (and the World) and thus
 permit 'tangible reactions' that will be the excuse for a massive destruction of the MOSLEM world?  Wallahua'lam. What have we become? Salsera Salsera_d@hotmail.com 12.09.2001
New York: In the city of York there will be a great collapse, two twin brothers torn apart by chaos, while the four towers fall, the great leader will succumb, the third big war will begin with the big cities burning, said Nostradamus, a French  physician and astrologist who lived in 1503-1566, in one of his quatrains. Let’s pray this is one of his misses. Mang H. Hula 12.09.2001

Promail was not bad as you think: Hei folks!! when I scroll back to the past messages, I found this interesting message whom writer nickname was August Adjane dated 10 August 2001. I really pity him, but what can I do?. So, Enjoy Reading!!! For me... Promail was so promising..and it had made my dream come true... It's ok if there are some members who haven't got their money yet... but I'm sure that is because of their mistakes or presumptions. For me, Promail was so transparent, and fair. Sometimes I have trouble with my bonus because of the lack of computers available.. but Promail makes it well.. It had helped us as long as there it was not our mistake... Thanks for Promail and you (who write this) I want you to give the proof if there is something bad about Promail if you think. August Adjane 12.09.2001

Love And Peace For All: The tragic happenings in New York and elsewhere in the USA is to be taken as a sign of the breaking down of international law and order and as such there should be a change of mindset of both parties. While the terrorist act that brought such pain and destruction and loss of innocent lives cannot ever be condoned, it is time for the Bush Administration to search ways for a remedy of the underlying causes. Without an in-depth study and a subsequent implementation there can be no lasting solution. The US might retaliate by striking hard at what they think as terrorist targets which may or may not be true. But that will not bring lasting peace. This is a time for deep thought and not only for a typical knee jerk reaction. Awang Juni 12.09.2001  
Terrorist Madness: What person has the authority as if a God that he/she has the right to take the lives of innocent people? Is this the type of world that we live in whereby we have become more vicious than animals? And with our lack of security, how sure are we as Bruneians that we are not harbouring terrorists in our country when most of us (quietly) know that we have been actually known to be a safe haven for fugitive gangsters from neighbouring countries. If the United States of America can be so defiled, how safe are we really even from such a distance. I recommend that our country should not be complacent especially now and should immediately take steps to monitor all the people that are coming into the country. May God protect us and let us all pray that we shall never have to see this with our own eyes as the USA have. My condolences to the people of USA. stupid but serious now 12.09.2001
World Trade center: I am deeply shocked by the tragedy in the USA. I and together with the rest of Bruneians would like to condemn this barbaric act. My condolences to the families affected. God bless you all. Hocus Pocus 12.09.2001

Amedeo Saga: Why cant the people of Brunei open up their eyes. Everyday you read about the creditors, liquidators, Prince Jefri, ADC, BIA and the government. There seems to be no end to this matter. It has been 3 years now since the problem erupted and you guys are no closer to reaching a conclusion. Reality is the only winners in this case are the lawyers ie Freshfields and Lovells. More money has been spent on lawyers rather than helping out the ailing economy of the country. Please people do wake up! Lets all put a stop to this and move on with our lives.

Danny Wong Pleasure:Brunei should act against Danny Wong and seek Interpol assistance for his arrest. ADC saga has set a number of precedents whereby those involved in the case are still free to enjoy and spent luxuriously. This is a sickening trend compared to previous CBT cases involving civilians and civil servants. They are either fined or put to jail! This is really not fair to the public eyes.
With regard to Danny Wong, neither the Government nor BIA should pay any of the companies (or any other creditors for that matter) as there is no legal contract between them. It is pretty much between ADC and the creditors to resolve. Again if the creditors do not have legal contract with ADC, that is their failure to act upon and miscalculate the risks on the business they undertook.
The point is the business principle remains. Two parties engaged in any dealing must have a contract in place. If the creditor cannot demonstrate and present the signed document, there is no case to be heard.
