Tan Sri Azmin Aziz

[sarcastics]

World record over studies

IPOH: College student Azmin Aziz is putting studies aside to achieve a personal goal – to break a 34-year-old world record.
He wants to swim 60km across the Malacca Straits in under 20 hours and enter the Guinness Book of World Records.
“The present feat is held by a Japanese who swam across the straits in 26 hours in 1972.

“I want to carve a name for myself on behalf of Perak in the Guinness Book of World Records,” he told reporters here yesterday.
Present was state Culture, Arts, Heritage, Youth and Sports state executive committee chairman Datuk Zaim Abu Hasan.
Azmin will kick off the swim from Tanjong Melang in Indonesia on Sept 9 and head for Port Dickson in Negri Sembilan.
The state government has given him a RM200,000 sponsorship.
Azmin said he started his training two years ago.

“I’ve been regularly carrying out endurance swimming from Pangkor to Pulau Giam, swimming 9km in seven laps,” said the eldest of four siblings.
Intensive training would start next week under the coaching of navy officers at the Lumut Naval base, he said.
Azmin has postponed his three-year Diploma in Culinary Arts studies at Syuen College here to focus on the feat.
“I chose the Straits of Malacca as it would be a challenge to swim across one of the world’s busiest international shipping routes,” he said.

what? and he'z a Tan Sri? even before starting the feat? u got to be kidding....

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

dis is why the 30 cents are withdrawn.... so that people can go back to the basics of NOT having hands and feet.. swim like what we were before we were 'complete'.. jes to show that we are 'boleh'

 

[zephyr3d]

good luck to him... i'll just take a flight. heh he hheh.

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

maybe he's got a gf like jiao-jiao the great.. always scratch him till kingdom come.. dat's y he needs an excuse to be far away frmo her.. and yet, get paid.. so dis is it... and goument fell for it.. paid him 200k.. which he spent it all on PRC, Bollys, TVs, and etc... mauhahahaha

 

[koolspyda]

aiya, i think the unofficial records are held by the illegal imigrants from neigbouring country (snigger)

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

tansri is not the right title for him..

we've heard of the 6 million dollar man...

he's the 200Grand Sperm...

 

[sarcastics]

title will be given after the feat. below 20 hours a tan sri and 2 plots of land. over 20 hours but below 26 hours a datukship and 100 APs. over 26 hours can go home and harakiri, because not able to erase a jap world record.

 

[zephyr3d]

heh heh heh.... one healthy sperm... attempting a death defying feat to swim accross the uterus channel... hahahaha.

 

[hid3]

trust me... even if he didnt beat the 26 hour record he will still be richly rewarded..

doesnt it make you guys wonder? why work so hard??? look for a freaking record to break.. make a big hoo haa.. announce over a press conference that you're doing it for malaysia.. and you'll get sponsorship from the G..

 

[si|verfish]

Another sohai attempt for "Malaysia Bolehness" and another sohai waste of money by the sohai authorities. Nice.

There are probably some really poor people, homeless and without anything to eat. 1% percent of that 200k being spent on this dumb attempt would have been enough to feed them for months.

Another proof that the people in charge are clueless.

 

[hid3]

exactly what i meant.... good one silverfish..

 

[evo3]

trust me... even if he didnt beat the 26 hour record he will still be richly rewarded..

doesnt it make you guys wonder? why work so hard??? look for a freaking record to break.. make a big hoo haa.. announce over a press conference that you're doing it for malaysia.. and you'll get sponsorship from the G..

this one not do it for Malaysia la... for PERAK...

wan to swim, swim la...y need Goument to sponsor..look at those ppl who from european who swim across the English Chanel...no Goument sponsorship....

better use the money to repair the poth hole on the road or feed the poor ..better...waste money on this worthless swim.... if it really that important i don't think the title will be dere for such a long time....

Yeah....i think those illegal immigrant from our neighbour already done that and better... :P

si|verfish, those are brainless idiot.

 

[si|verfish]

A recurring question in my head these days. How can you love a country that doesn't love you? You're like the less favoured child. The apple of the parents eyes always gets everything, for every little thing. But, no matter what you do, you never get the same treatment, maybe just a nod.

Read this quite telling comment taken from Paultan.org.

some malaysian sailed around the world got datukship- Datuk Azhar Mansor

M. Magendran and N. Mohandas place Jalur Gemilang on M.Everest did not get nothing except a few claps and a pat on the back

Abdul Malik Mydin swam across English channel in 17 hours 35 mins and he was made Datukship

Lennard Lee made it across the same channel in 9 hours 45 mins and was to raise money for cancer patients, he was awarded a direct path to pearly gate and that’s it.

Karamjit should be TUN already if he were to compare his credits to all the sports people that were given datukship.

Malaysia oh Malaysia ! Tanah Airku !!!

How ah? Non-bumis don't pay income tax? Non-bumis don't contribute to the nation?

 

[K_Takuya]

what a waste. why dont government sponsor Zulkifli who have tons of ideas, but only use junks for his project. this guys more worthy than the swimmer...

 

[zephyr3d]

[4ep82]

Zulkifli ...the mac gyver of Malaysia

 

[BlackSamurai]

Non-bumis don't pay income tax? Non-bumis don't contribute to the nation?

Unfortunately, According to the latest speech given by Tun Mahathir, Chinese still the race contribute most to Tax in Malaysia. He has been away from the goverment for 2 years, I don't know how accurate is his info.
