Kuala Lumpur: Estuary of Cloudy Streams

”The world was so recent that many things lacked names, and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point.”

This may be the most fitting description of what I encountered as trying to order the breakfast in the Little India, Kuala Lumpur. Sitting outside the door, a customer was having a balloon-resembled food, something between bread and pancakes. I wanted to order the same thing but didn’t know how to express it, so I simply pointed to the photo on the menu and ordered what looked the most similar to it.

”We don’t have that anymore,” the waiter spoke with a southern accent, ”because…blah blah blah. Would you like something else?” I could understand nothing more than 70% of what he said, and ended up ordering something else that looked somewhat similar. What came was a round and crispy, deep-fried balloon-like pancake, like a inflated Chinese scallion, served with coconut milk and curry. The curry was mild, scattered with powdery-textured potatoes. the ‘pancake’ tasted pretty good with it. I ordered a glass of Lassi, whose sweetness is so strong, that I canconsider it as a standard accompaniment to Indian cuisine for me.

What was the name of that dish again?

I wandered through Little India looking for a place to buy souvenirs. The supermarket shelves were stocked with coffee, jam, oil products, various canned soups, and incense for prayer. There were several buckets filled with a variety of spices in the center of the supermarkets. The bag of branded coffee and the Kaya jam, which my friend highly-recommended, was eventually found at a department store on the upper level of Central station, or in Malay, Stesen Sentral.

After buying a ruby chocolate, which was said cannot be found in Taiwan, at the chocolate exhibition hall, I called a Grab ride to go to a western-style coffee shop in Chinatown on Jalan Petaling. I ordered a ”Summer Time”, a mix of lychee and watermelon juice, and began to write about my experiences in Kuala Lumpur. It suddenly came to my mind: the Indian dish I had for my breakfast, made of curry, coconut milk, and crispy bread.

We still don’t know the name of the dish we had that day.

The recitation of the Quran resonates during Zuhr.

The streets of Kuala Lumpur have a distinct tropical humidity, yet with a touch of freshness, which perhaps derived from the Muslims’ cleanliness, preventing the unpleasant odor of damp and muddy drains. Kuala Lumpur, Estuary of Cloudy Streams, at the confluence of muddy swirling currents; Muslims established mosques at the convergence of the Gombak River and the Klang River, and later the British built various Mughal-Gothic-styled government buildings in the same area.

As Crows gather along the riverbank and search for twigs to build their nests, a group of hijab-wearing college students happily pose for pictures with the architecture. An afternoon thunderstorm suddenly washes away the restlessness in the hearts of the diverse tourists. They quietly hide themselves under the covered walkways, listening to the recitation of the Quran emanating from the Masjid.

Time seems to been fragmented, yet never ceases to flow.

According to the Malaysian history book, the official version of Malaysia’s founding epic told us Malays came from Sumatra. ”A prince who lost his kingdom take his people to come to this land for rebuilding what they once had,” and they rooted themselves here, never to return to the other side of the straits. In the market, the aroma of coffee were permeating the air, and carried far away by the tropical breeze. A Tamil vendor introduced me to beautiful batik shawls. In my not-so-fluent English, I negotiated the price with him and ended up buying ones I’m pretty sure I would love.

Gentle sunlights spilling onto the shading canvas, notes of diaspora danced, in the fluttering signs of the bazaar, amidst the bustling city traffic, and within the oscillating fans at the train station. Secret-society members drifted here from the Northern Empire, Sri Lankan merchants brought by the monsoon winds, and the eventually settled-down Indonesian royal members, they are all smoothly shaped by the river flow into the time, slowly extending into an unending melody within stories.

The recitation of the Quran resonates during Asr.

In the cafeteria of the old Kuala Lumpur station, Ayam Tandori filled the air with a fragrant aroma. Although the beauty of the old station building couldn’t be captured by a camera, it appeared particularly lovely in the sunset. A photography team was taking pictures of a couple in front of the train station, though I couldn’t quite tell if they were shooting wedding photos or being Cosplayer.

The river, quietly flowed through the city, the Railwat went towards the harbour of Port Klang, and they would never to return. I watched the bustling traffic in front of the station, that forming an ever-turning roundabout, which are so fast, that seems in the next second, they would all dissolve into cream as the way tigers melt away.

Time clearly never ceases to flow, yet it is fragmented in a montage-like manner.

I delved into the crevices of history, let the approaching time drenched my body; Like a camel traversing the endless Silk Road, looking back at the scriptures I once wandered through. Inside the Islamic Arts Museum, I gaze at the coins displayed in glass cabinets, forming a long timeline connecting the end of the Silk Road to another end: the Umayyads, the Abbasids, the Fatimids; the Ayyubids of the Kurds, the Safavids of the Persians, the Mughals of the Mongols… Distant faith and the sound of prayers gradually reach the scattered archipelago of islands.

The guide at Masjid Negara introduces me to the distinctive features of their religious architecture: geometric patterns, designs devoid of images, and Arabic calligraphy that adorns every corner. He mentions that the average Malays do not truly understand Arabic, just like the Chinese, who do not really understand ”Namo Amitābhāya” or ”Om Mani Padme Hum.” However, the devoutness during prayer may overcome the language barrier, allowing the heartfelt yearning for tranquility to be conveyed genuinely to the beloved deity.

The peaceful coolness from the floor of Masjid gently touches my skin through my socks.

The recitation of the Quran resonates during Maghrib.

Perhaps due to its tropical location, even on weekends, one can feel that the nights and days in Kuala Lumpur are like different worlds. The deserted Independence Square during daytime comes to life at night with several food trucks gathering there. People ride bicycles and blow bubbles in front of the old government building, while the shimmering neon lights make the city’s stories vibrant.

At the night market on Petaling Street, the tables and chairs are already packed tightly by the vendors, making it difficult for the traffic to move. The aroma of delicious jerky fills the air, with each bite, I can feel its fresh, sweet, and crispy taste. I picked a few satay skewers, fried snacks, and even buy a serving of Balinese-style char siu rice. Slowly, I move to Bukit Bintang, the Starhill Avenue, where you can see a group street performers sing loudly in front of the subway station. The audience gathers in a circle on the sidewalk, eager to listen to their voices. Coinciding with the floral procession of Vesak Day, the streets are under traffic control, and Buddhist followers from around the world ride float after float, showering blessings upon those around them.

I step into a karaoke bar. It’s sparsely populated. I order a cola and sit at the counter. A staff member accosts me in a simple conversation in English. She tells me she is a Chinese from Myanmar, with a younger brother studying Mandarin in Taiwan, and a sister already married and has children in Taiwan. She proudly shows me photos of her siblings. The bar owner is Hakka, and I casually recite a few phrases in Hakka that I heard in the Subway announcements from Taiwan: ”Sṳ̀n-mùng-ǹg, án-chṳ́-se.” However, she looks puzzled. I ask her how to say ”thank you” in Malaysian Hakka, and she replies with ”唔該,” with the Hakka pronunciation. Haha, we bridge the language barrier and make ourselves understood. I select a song by Sandy Lam and another one by Jay Chou on the jukebox, At Least I’ve Got You, even if I Find It Hard To Say. A Japanese customer orders a beer, and as it pours into the glass, it turns into Bubble, as G.E.M. sings. The bar owner suddenly suggests that we should go together to taste some street food at Jalan Alor after closing. In the stir-fry restaurant, we order five servings of chicken wings, a large plate of fried noodles, and the Malaysians’ favorite ”lala” (clams). I thought it was a phonetic mistake for ”lâ-á” in Hokkien, but as I eat, the clams in front of me seem to play the ”Lala Land.”

I recall the previous night when I sneaked into a bookstore and browsed through interesting English books, searching for fragments of stories that have died but not yet been buried, as if I were a wandering ghost. That’s it. Knowing that stories don’t end like this, that’s it. Knowing that time doesn’t put a full stop on us, that’s it. Knowing that those timelines hidden in the Islamic Museum, the clocks that calculate prayers in the Masjid Negara, and the novels in my backpack are not the end of history. That’s it, I think.

I love Kuala Lumpur’s converging all of the stories, yet it hasn’t written the final chapter.

The recitation of the Quran echoes during Isha.

On the plane, I turned on my e-book reader and continue reading the unfinished book about Malaysian history: Portuguese captured Malacca, the White Rajahs ”inherited” Sarawak, the British and Dutch partitioned the Malay world, and the colonizers attempted to build a better world, like Raffles and Swettenham. The plane takes off towards the north, and outside the window, the weather is clear, with clouds leaping alongside the aircraft.

Once again, I hear the recitation of the Quran, reminding me of Fajr.

Boeing will stop manufacturing F/A-18 fighters by the end of 2025

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 02/23/23 - 18:46 in Military

Boeing, a U.S. aerospace giant, revealed that it expects to complete the production of new constructions of the F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter at the end of 2025, after the delivery of the U.S. Navy final fighters.

This will mark the end of a 40-year story for Boeing and the fourth-generation fighter.

Boeing noted that production can be extended until 2027 if the Super Hornet is selected by an international customer.

“We are planning our future, and the construction of fighter aircraft is in our DNA,” said Steve Nordlund, vice president of Boeing Air Dominance and leader of the St. Louis. "As we invest and develop the next era of capacity, we are applying the same innovation and experience that made F/A-18 a cargo donkey for the U.S. Navy and air forces around the world for almost 40 years."

With this production decision, Boeing hopes to redirect resources to future military aircraft programs. To support work on the next generation of manned and unmanned aircraft, Boeing plans to build three new facilities in St. Louis.

These facilities, as well as the new Advanced Composite Manufacturing Center in Arizona and the new MQ-25 production facility at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport, represent an investment of more than US$ 1 billion.

Boeing says it has invested $700 million in St.'s infrastructure upgrades. Louis during the last decade, allowing the introduction of new design and construction techniques, simplifying processes and improving initial quality.

The decision will also allow the company to increase the production of new critical defense programs, including increased production of the world's first all-digital training system, the T-7A Red Hawk, and the first autonomous refuelling aircraft deployed in the world's aircraft carriers, the MQ-25 Stingray. The production of new F-15EX Eagle IIs and 777X wing components will also continue.

Boeing added that it will continue to develop capabilities and upgrades for the global fleet F/A-18 Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler. Over the next decade, all Block II Super Hornets in Life Modification will receive the set of Block III features. Boeing will also continue to add electronic attack capability as part of Growler's ongoing modifications.

Since the F/A-18 debuted in 1983, Boeing has delivered more than 2,000 Hornets, Super Hornets and EA-18G Growlers to customers worldwide, including the U.S. Navy, Australia, Canada, Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland.

Famous murals from around the world 🎨

Explore some of the world’s best murals, courtesy of MSN!

Lonac, “Nitpicking” – Rijeka, Croatia

Croatian artist Lonac created this photorealistic mural of a man (his father) focused on the model of a ship for the MMSU Rijeka Spajalica public art project. He used around 100 cans of spray paint with some 50 different color tones and worked seven days to create this piece.

Hosier Lane – Melbourne, Australia

Perhaps one of the most famous street art locations in the world, Hosier Lane in Melbourne is essentially an open canvas, meaning that any artist can go and add to the murals. The result is an impressive mishmash of different styles. You can get lost in this eclectic lane and revisit many times, having a completely different experience each time.

Multiple artists – Incheon, South Korea

Incheon’s mural, painted over silos, is the largest outdoor mural in the world, according to Guinness World Records. The mural resembles a set of 16 books and shows the story of a boy growing into an adult.

Artist unknown, “I love you so much” – Austin, USA

Perhaps not an impressive street mural per se, this phrase, graffitied on the side of Jo’s Coffee on South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas, has become one of the most famous pieces of street art in the world and an attraction in its own right. Apparently, the owners of the coffee shop, who are a couple, got into a fight and one of them painted this love declaration on the side of the building.

Petit Champlain Murals – Old Quebec, Canada

Old Quebec is known for its beauty, and the Petit Champlain trompe l’œil murals are no exception. The area between this neighbourhood and Parliament Hill is home to remarkable works of art, including Fresque du Petit-Champlain.

Muralis – Sherbrooke, Canada

The thing that makes Sherbrooke’s murals special is that Easter eggs are hidden in all of the paintings. Visitors to this city in Quebec are invited to try and find them thanks to an app—which also makes the murals come alive!

Guido van Helten, “No Exit” – Reykjavik, Iceland

These beautiful black-and-white murals are based on Andrés Kolbeinsson’s photographs of a local production of the Jean-Paul Sartre play “No Exit” in the 1960s. They are located on the Loftkastalinn building, a former theatre space in Reykjavik, Iceland and were pained in the winter of 2013-14.

Dmitri Vrubel, “My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love” – Berlin, Germany

This political mural depicts a 1979 photograph where Leonid Brezhnev, the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, and Erich Honecker, the General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party of the German Democratic Republic, share a socialist fraternal kiss.

It is located on the eastern side of the Berlin Wall and has become an emblem of the city.

Patrick Commecy, multiple murals – France

Patrick Commecy and his team, under the name A.Fresco, have painted over 300 trompe l’œil murals to beautify existing buildings. Each piece is custom to the building it is located on to make sure that it fits the décor and story of the place. This one is “Levallois en fleurs.”

Millo, “Everyone Is Searching for It” – Milan, Italy

Painted in 2015 and depicting a man searching for love in the big city using a fortune stick and a woman hopefully catapulting her heart, Millo’s Everyone Is Searching for It is a great example of the artist’s signature style.

Louis Gan, “Brother and sister having fun on the swing” – George Town, Malaysia

George Town is known for its street art (amongst many other things, of course) and this mural, Brother and sister having fun on the swing, is probably one of the city’s most photographed, because passersby can include themselves in the art!

Banksy, “Girl with Balloon” – London, UK

Arguably one of the most famous murals in recent years, Banksy’s Girl with Balloon was first painted on Waterloo Bridge in 2002, and other similar murals were also painted around London, although none remain today. In fact, in 2018, a framed copy of the painting spontaneously shredded while it was being auctioned, thanks to a mechanical device that the artist had hidden in the frame.

ChemiS, “House of Cards” – San Nicolas, Aruba

Painted as part of the Aruba Art Fair, ChemiS’s House of Cards takes up the whole façade of the Winter Garden bar restaurant and nightclub. Its trompe l’œil effect is really impressive!

Comic Book Route – Brussels, Belgium

In 1991, the City of Brussels authorities and the Belgian Comic Strip Center undertook the project of creating a comic strip route in the city of Brussels, covering up plain walls. The project has since grown to over 50 murals.

Belfast Murals – Belfast, Ireland

Northern Ireland has a complicated and tumultuous political and religious history and the Belfast Murals depict this, highlighting important moments and people of the last 40 years. One of the best ways to visit is with a black cab tour, to admire the works of art and learn about the local history.

El Mac & Gene Pendon, “Leonard Cohen” – Montreal, CA

Montreal is a city renowned for its street art and holds the annual Mural street art festival. In recent years, two gigantic murals honouring the late Canadian singer, songwriter, poet and novelist Leonard Cohen have sprung up on building façades. The most impressive one is located on Crescent Street and can be admired from the city’s Kondiaronk belvedere.

Keith Haring, “We the Youth” – Philadelphia, USA

Created in 1987 in collaboration with the CityKids Foundation and restored in 2013, We the Youth is the only Keith Haring mural that remains intact in its original site. The mural was painted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States Constitution and is a play on the phrase “We the people.”

The mural is located at 22nd and Ellsworth Streets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Fincen (they fucking knew all along)

The Fincen leaks are the latest finance corruption megaleak, following Paradise Papers (2017), PanamaP apers (2016), Swiss Leaks (2015), Lux Leaks (2014). It's a trove of 2100 "Suspicious Activity Reports" (SARs) from the US Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

The reporting on the leaks was shared among multiple journalism orgs, including BBC Panorama, Buzzfeed, and more than 100 other orgs in 88 countries, coordinated by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, whose master report is a key to the whole leak:

https://www.icij.org/investigations/fincen-files/global-banks-defy-u-s-crackdowns-by-serving-oligarchs-criminals-and-terrorists/

Here's the nut: the world's largest banks knowingly laundered billions of dollars for the worst criminals, looters and oligarchs in the world. The financial regulators knew they were doing it.

Many had paid billions in fines and avoided criminal prosecutions for earlier misdeeds and continued to facilitate the flows of vast, illicit fortunes on behalf of brutal criminals and dictators, including many who were under sanction.

The US government knew. The banks knew. Neither acted to stop it. The banks made a fortune for their trouble. I mean, we could just end it there, but the details matter.

Start with the largest bank in the US: Jpmorganchase. Jpmorgan knowingly laundered money for looters from Venezuela and Ukraine and helped launder the billions stolen from Malaysia through the 1MDB scam - $1B of that money passed through JPM's fingers, and they knew it was dirty.

They also laundered millions for Paul Manafort - AFTER he'd been forced to resign over money-laundering accusations. The volume of criminal money flowing through JPM INCREASED every year, even as it paid fines in 2011, 2013 and 2014 for money laundering.

JPM told the ICIJ that it plays a "leadership role" in "proactive intelligence-led investigations" and developing "innovative techniques to help combat financial crime."

(ok looter)

Other banks engaged in criminal money-laundering: HSBC, Standard Chartered, Deutsche Bank and Bank of NY Mellon.

The leaks only represent 0.02% of SARS, and document $2 TRILLION in dirty transactions between 1999-2017, with $1.3 TRILLION at Deutschebank alone.

Treasury stonewalled ICIJ, but announced that it was seeking public comment "on ways to improve the US's anti-money laundering system."

The reporting not only encompasses the leaked SARs: the media orgs on the job analyzed 17,600 other docs: leaks, court files, FOIA docs, and interviews with experts.

Here's what the banks did: "blindly moving cash through accounts for people they can’t identify, failing to report transactions with all the hallmarks of money laundering until years after the fact, doing business with clients enmeshed in frauds and corruption scandals."

This activity took place while banks like HSBC were ALREADY ON PROBATION for other money-laundering crimes. HSBC says it is now "a much safer institution."

Much of the $2T flowed through secrecy jurisdictions - not just the BVI, but also the City of London, Wyoming/Nevada/Delaware, Cyprus, HK, the UAE, Switzerland and Russia - places where companies can have anonymous owners and beneficiaries.

ICIJ traces some of this cash to terrorist orgs, sanctioned individuals in Iran and the former USSR, etc.

JPM laundered more than $1b for a mysterious company called ABSI Enterprises, believed to be a front for Russian mafia boss-of-bosses Semion Mogilevich.

MORE THAN $1B!

The Treasury deputizes banks themselves to fight laundering, giving the largest banks responsibility to catch criminals. Instead, these banks used their privileged position to exact fees from crooks in exchange for keeping schtum!

Meanwhile, the ACTUAL compliance officers at the big banks are marginalized and underfunded: "overworked, under-resourced staffers, who typically work in back offices far from headquarters and have little clout within their organizations."

"Documents in the FinCEN Files show compliance workers at major banks often resort to basic Google searches to try to learn who’s behind transfers involving hundreds of millions of dollars."

Which means that banks can only figure out if they're laundering money for a monster if that person is already in the news - and usually, that happens AFTER the money has winged its way to some other far-off destination.

Meanwhile, the money people AT THE BANK go to great lengths to keep their own compliance people from busting them, like Standard Chartered, where bankers used aliases so payment from sanctioned criminals could go through.

Some of the dodges used to disguise the true owners of money laundries are hilariously amateurish, and the only thing worse is how long they were overlooked by the regulators who were supposed to be preventing them.

For example, the UK's Companies House - the corporate regulator - allowed a couple of anonymous companies in the British Virgin Islands to be listed as the owners of HUNDREDS of UK companies, all housed in a vacant former nail bar in Wales.

One of these companies, Novirex, funneled gigantic sums via obviously fraudulent payments, such as $400k for "knee boots" from Hong Kong, millions in all, while booking $2500/yr in revues, with the help of Jpmorganchase.

JPM had a financial partnership with the Latvian bank ABLV, a laundry for Russian criminals, whose own compliance department rated 90 PERCENT of its customers as "high risk." They moved billions, with the help of JPM.

This was on Jamie Dimon's watch, when the division that did these dirty deals ballooned to $4.13b/year. Novirex was the laundry that Paul Manfort used to do his own financial crimes. JPM laundered at least $230m for them.

Then there's HSBC, long one of the world's most unapologetic criminal banks. The leaks reveal HSBC's before/during/after the fact involvement in the World Capital Market Ponzi scheme, which bilked poor people from the world's poorest places out of $80m.

While WCM was under investigation in THREE countries, while HSBC was STILL ON PROBATION for laundering money for the mass-murdering Mexican narco cartels, it kept WCM's account active and allowed $7m to be emptied out of it.

Just part of $900m in shell-company-linked anonymous transactions HSBC cleared for the world's crime-lords and dictators.

Indeed, all 5 of the worst culprits in the leaks had taken "deferred prosecution deals" - probation for earlier crimes, which they continued to commit.

Like Bank of NY Mellon, which laundered $1.3b for Putin ally and mafioso Oleg Deripaska. Or Deutsche Bank, which moved $11b for Deripaska.

And all five banks laundered money for Ukrainian oligarch/wanted criminal Dmytro Firtash - while telling Treasury that they were cracking down on financial crime. JPM laundered $2b for Firtash.

The leaks reveal what we've known all along: a fine is a price. The banks were fined billions. They made hundreds of billions, and laundered trillions. Fine 'em billions more, and they'll just absorb it as the cost of doing business.

The stiffest penalty ever paid by a bank - $8.9b to France's BNP Paribas, a criminal conviction, 13 staffers forced out - resulted in its share price going UP, because the deal allowed to to resume US dollar trading after one year.

Deutsche Bank paid $258m in fines for violating sanctions, announced it had cleaned house, and (the leaks reveal) ONE MONTH LATER started plans to launder money for Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky - $240m in all.

Deutsche Bank now says it had "past weaknesses," has "learnt from our mistakes" "systematically tackled" the issues and "we're a different bank now."

Who the fuck believes this bullshit?

The US Treasury's financial crimes enforcers, for one.

These companies shouldn't get deferred convictions. The individuals who perpetrated these crimes, and the executives who signed off on them, should face criminal persecution.

They should forfeit all their assets. The banks should be broken up - and broken up again, and again and again - until they are small enough that no one can claim the organization was too big to effectively police.

This is not the first, or second, or third, or fourth set of finance leaks that reveals that the "finance industry" is a literal, non-metaphorical, non-hyperbolic global crime syndicate.

But it is the first set of leaks that details just how well that fact is understood by government financial regulators, and exactly how unbelievably bad they are at their jobs.

I say "unbelievable" because only an idiot would believe that anyone is this bad at their job. "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action." This isn't incompetence.

It's complicity.

While balloons can instantly liven up most locations, they can also be a bit predictable. You can change that now by replacing normal balloons with floating helium balloons.

We are all familiar with the sight of a helium balloon floating on its string. It gives delight to children and even adults. There is just something rather impressive about a balloon drifting up and up into the sky, making its escape from a small careless hand and the Earth’s gravity. We may be familiar with the helium balloon, but do you know what is it about helium balloons that causes it to rise up against the gravitational pull? Well helium filled balloons float because helium is lighter than nitrogen and oxygen, the two components of air.

 Nowadays people usually go for helium balloons rather than the normal air filled balloons. People just find helium balloons rather fascinating! If you buy one at the circus or fair, you can hold its string and it will ride along above you. If you let go of the string, it will fly away until you can't see it anymore.

And while air filled balloons last for a couple of weeks, helium filled latex balloons last about 7-8 hours, the ones filled with protective gel last more than that. And of course foil balloons can last up to 5 – 7 days.

Ever wondered why we usually celebrate with balloons? Maybe it’s just because they’re cheap and colorful, and people like watching things fly away. Balloons in their various forms were first actually invented for use in military communications, scientific experiments, and transportation, and such but it wasn’t long before people began to have fun with them. Making them a sign of delight and happiness and a must at almost every event no matter what the occasion.
