COBC 9/12 : PAY FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL

Every year we celebrate the Valentine's day, Mother's day, Father's Day, Birthdays yadaa yadaa but what we never celebrate is the Friend's Day except if you are part of the Chief's circle. At the Chief's bootcamp every third Friday at Bandar Utama and Damansara Heights and the third Saturday at Subang Jaya USJ1 (every 9th session), we do just that!.. we celebrate the Friends! so today, being the 9th session for the month of October, we brought along the person whom had pissed and annoyed us stood by us through thick and thin, to the world oldest 20 years old military inspired program to take the first step into a healthier, fitter and sexier lifestyle!!

Why? because we want them tortured care for their well being. There is no better way to show our care and concern than to influence our friends to take care of their health. Do not wait until you/your friends received the hamper of life that consists of high-cholestrol, diabetic, gout, high blood etc etc before you realize that you need to start exercising. Prevention is always better than cure. So many of us brought along our friends on the Chief's Bring A Friend Day this morning.

THE SOCIETY THAT CARES?

After being in and out of hospital in London for 2 years for the Bone Marrow transplant, I returned back to Malaysia with a re-branded mission but being away from school friends for 2 years, a few dozen old friends gathered to celebrate my returned, 3 days upon touch down. We went jamming at black widow at Asia Jaya (now known as Plaza Lien Ho?) and were suppose to meet some girls at section 14, at 'the late' Jaya Supermarket in a convoy of.. was it 5 cars and sped through the flyover before the car (which I was the front passenger), skidded and rammed into the divider that cut open exposing my forehead skull. That was the second time I cheated death after surviving leukemia but this is a story for another session. For now, the Youtube video that I wanted to share reminded of that moment when I was bleeding profusely from the car accident. Blood was pouring out from my head like a fountain. I could not stop the blood and was very scared of blood. I was freaking out when the blood refuse to stop and I could not open my eye as blood was flowing out from my forehead.

There were alot of commotion from a huge crowd from the nearby bus stop and there were many cars and motorcycle that passes by and everyone just stood and watch me bleeding. There were at least a stadium pack of people... okay that may be abit exaggerating but there were a big huge crowd. No one came to help except for a friend, Abul Khalil Jamaludin whom was in the other car that turned back when he lost sight of the car that I was in. Abul came, almost carried me with another friend Musa Zahidin and brought me to the hospital. If I was alone, I would have suffered the same fate as Yue Yuem whom was run over twice by a van and a lorry that broke both her legs and bones. There were 17 passersby whom did not even bother to extend any help or called for the police for assistance.

THE CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP IS EXPANDING.... AGAIN

The Chief's Original Bootcamp first made an appearance when it was first launched at Bandar Utama in June 2010 and Subang Jaya USJ1 in November the same year.

BEFORE ITS TOO LATE...

How does it feel to be closer to death? Is it scary? Will it be painful? That was one question that played over and over again in mind a year after being diagnosed with CML some 21 years ago but it is still fresh in mind. With so many deaths in the family within just a few months, this would be a good story to share. I can only share the near-death experience from my experience battling leukemia and would not know how it felt with other sickness or illness but I am sure the agony was similar. The thought of dying had never crossed my mind when I was first diagnosed. Infact, I never thought that I would die so soon but did go through many rounds of mental and emotional cycle but that is a story for another time. I initially refused to accept that my day was coming sooner and closer to an end but it was after the full dose chemotherapy and total body irradiation (TBI) for the Bone Marrow transplant that I saw, felt and really experience the deterioration in my body, health and physique and began thinking perhaps this is the phases of death.

Before the Bone Marrow transplant, I was admitted a few times at the University hospital for spleen enlargement and the painstaking lung pneumonia. The pneumonia was indescribably torturous. I could not breath and breathing was painful. I was in tube inserted through the nose for oxygen but although I was on breathing support, I can still hardly breath. Lifting the arm or any slightest of movement was almost impossible. I was too weak.. unbearably weak but I never thought I would die. I cannot die yet.. There were so many things that I wanted to do. For one, I was pursuing after this one puppy love and I really needed to go out for a date. I also need to look good and get out of this stupid hospital that made me wear the hospital gown that exposes my buttock and back. Damn I was embarrassed but the teenage hormone was pumping high.

Although I was unbearably weak but it was not as scary as when I first saw myself after the chemotherapy and TBI. The chemotherapy and TBI began a week upon admission at the Hammersmith Hospital in London. I was checked-in a 200 sq feet glass room (felt like living in an aquarium) equipped with television, video player, my own fridge, own toilet with bath and shower, a laundry room, a hifi system and a library full of videos!!! Woww... almost like living in a Hotel room. This could not be so bad, I thought to myself but with doctor's expectation of a hospital stay for at least 3 months if not longer, it justified the means. I was all smiley and my attending nurse!!! She was hot!!! a 26 years old, blonde, tall, long leg, err.. busty and so feminine. .... 3 months? I wanted to stay in hospital longer!!!

COBC 8/12: HOT CHICK!!!

I had always reiterated that at the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, we never had the chance to be friends with recruits but instead, we became good friend sort of bruder bruder and sista sista. Some of us became more than bruder sista and start to get married to each other ala Joey Rajah, Chi Yan Lai and James Fong with Chan Meng Yam but that is not a precedent, they were already lover before joining the COBC. There are so many singles and so many married but available but what is important... all our instructors are all professionals and no one instructor had and/or is having any fling with any recruits. So dont be scared of them... except during training!

But speaking of bruder sista hood, today Mohamad Fazli brought his hot chick and shared with us all. He carried his chick on his back while cycling to BU-alpha. His car had a tyre puncture.. (For a moment, I thought the tyre was used on Monday for tyre drag when David Jones was here) I wanted to join Fazli cycling but my bicycle tyres were both air-less. When I arrived, I felt Fazli's chick!! She was still hot! I ate it within less than 5 minutes.. err sort of protein-load before the session and fortunate enough.. there were alot of sprinting this morning! The chicken was fried without oil using an air-fryer technique. I must get one!!

Nabil Jefry made a special appearance at BU-alpha this morning. Nabil Jeffri is the youngest Formula 1 test car driver and is Malaysia driver for Petronas F1 club.  He is back with us to be fit for his race in New Delhi next week for the F1 club racing. Nabil Jefry is our celebrity recruit which I had blog at HERE. All of us here are with you Nabil and wishes you the best for all the races. Please come to train with us anytime, anywhere you see the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP sign.

COBC 7/12: WELCOME DAVID JONES, WELCOME TAYAR!

What happen when a Delta from Cogee Beach, Australia joined us at the Chief's Original Bootcamp, Malaysia? Yes.. the tyres came out of hibernation..... no... Just kidding but joke aside, we had David Jones from the Original Bootcamp, Australia at COBC Bandar Utama. David Jones is on a working visit to Malaysia and although his schedule was full with meetings and appointment but he persevered the discipline to exercise. David Jones or more fondly known as Dave booked a taxi to attend BU-alpha platoon that start at 5:45am but arrived 3 minutes late when the taxi lost its way. Naturally, the platoon had 4 sets of 30 seconds squat pulses... a gift from Australia?

Recruits from Australia or anywhere in the world are recognized at any of the CHIEF's Original Bootcamp locations in Malaysia or at any locations under the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Australia trademark world wide. Recruits from Malaysia including Taj Mahal, John Chuah, James Fong, Chan Meng Yam, Freda Liu, Lilian Lee are amongst dozens of other recruits that have attended the bootcamp at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, in Australia while on holiday and/or work trip. Sometimes, a change in training environment does have an impact on our mojo and energy.

David Jones is an ultra-marathoner and has been with the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Australia for already 12 months. The tyres that came out of hibernation was only a teaser to a man that had even participated in the 'Longest Day' event; a special training session under the Chief's Original Bootcamp that challenges your mental and physical strength by exercising for 23 straight hours in a day with only four 30mins break inbetween. Convinced to give Dave the 'Malaysia hospitality', we ease him the workload by me driving the Tyre drag but when suddenly the tyre felt alot heavier  (with Sarge (COBC) Dann taking a ride standing on the tyre, we start rotating the 'driver'. From a tyre drag, we had to carry the tyre (with hand straight up) which we prayed hard that Sarge (COBC) Dann was not tempted to be on top of the tyre while we carry it with full straight arm. Who knows what this Sarge (COBC) Dann have in mind... he can be wicked at times.

HANTU(S) GATHERINGS!!

Who says Halloween is for kids.. or err.. Maybe we shall rephrase it to 'Who says adult do not celebrate Halloween costume party?' .....yes we do especially at the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP. In fact, we do not need any reason to partay as Doc Malek always say!! But we do have a good reason to party!!! Why? because being consistent especially in caring for our health is a challenging effort and to take the first step in exercising is in itself already a good reason to celebrate but completing a whole month of sweating out, three times a week deserves a good feast and the theme for the September graduation party is yess.. HANTU-ween.. i mean Halloween!! Because all of us is a hantu in various form.. me for one is a Hantu Durian.. and oso hantu cendol!!

In line with our Hantu theme, most of us came well-dressed as hantu.. except for a few recruits who came as themselves because they are already a hantu? The Chief's Original Bootcamp graduation party was held at the new Tony Romas at Mt Kiara and I came as the modern Vampire Edward Cullen... modified into the colourful version of course! While Dixon Thum from USJ platoon came almost identical to the pale looking no-blood Edward Cullen and he brought with him his version of Bella Swan. Although all the hantu(s) exercises three times a week, they still look scary!! There were Hantu Cina, Hantu mat salleh, old Hantu and young hantu... a good 1Hantu day. (Hantu = Ghost) (Click on picture to enlarge)

COBC SEPTEMBER 2011 ACE OF BASS & SOB

Everymonth, there will be a vote for the SPIRIT OF BOOTCAMP for each and every platoon at the Chief's Original Bootcamp. The vote is to pick recruit with the best Spirit that motivates and inspired us to give our best commitment and effort into achieving the best result from our training especially when some of us were... err sleep-exercising? It can be any comrade in your platoon but not the instructors and/or COBC administration team. The voting usually starts on the fourth week of the month until before the next graduation. We want to recognize that energetic, hyper, inspirational Spirit that becomes the Culture at the Chief's bootcamp to bring out the best in every recruit.

At the Chief's bootcamp too, we recognise every struggles and effort to be consistent and to be discipline at exercising! For that we designed the 100% Attendance, 100% Commitment and 110% Effort Certificate that speaks for itself. Habits whether good or bad is developed when it is being repeated for approximately 8 Weeks. Thus, let us build this consistency and discipline in exercising by ACE'ing every monthly session Rain, Hail or Shine!! There is no better investment than to invest in a great sexy body, great fitness and especially in a great health. Sickness and illness knows no boundary!! Prevention is by no means better than cure... Dr Malek Aziz and me are two living evidence! ...for now.

With that, we are pleased to first recognize those that had sweat out, attend and exercise consistently for 12 full sessions in the month of September at COBC Bandar Utama Alpha Platoon, Bandar Utama Bravo Platoon, Subang Jaya USJ1 Alpha Platoon, Subang Jaya USJ1 Bravo platoon, Damansara Heights Zulu platoons as follows:

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)  We belong to ALLAH swt and to him we shall return.

Death seems to be very friendly nowadays and befriended many within my circle. Within less than a quarter in a year, I lost an aunt, a cancer-comrade, a grandmother-in law and yesterday a running-comrade Kharis Idris or more fondly known as TSB or Tuan Senang Besar on facebook and Boboi by family members and close friends. I shall referred him as TSB here since that was his preferred nick on cyber. He left us yesterday,14 October 2011 very early in the morning leaving behind a beautiful wife and a daughter aged 4 years old. TSB was my neighbor for the longest of time at SS3/80 before we all left for Sungai Penchala. His parent's house was almost the opposite of mine and we always went on Mercun war during hari raya.

Although I do not know TSB in great details but TSB shared similar passion with me in many ways from blogging to running. He was a blogger at HERE. We were both PJ boys and of course went to the best school (in PJ) at the  Bukit Bintang Boys School (BBBSS) and we were both a smoker (err.. but I've stopped for already 13 months but he was still a chimney). The passion that we also shared passionately was in running!! We tend to bump into each other more in running competitions than we would when we were neighbours. If there was one feature that was prominent in TSB, it must be his friendly smile that was sort of built into him. He would be all smiley and friendly anytime of the day even when we were struggling up a hill during one of the running competition.

COBC: 6/12 THE CENTURIAN!!

OH F#@k!!! My platoon is going to kill me!! its 5:30pm and I'm still poopoo'ing.. Aiiks too much information and I have not brushed my teeth or shaved yet. Oh heck.. No one is going to know! ....and there I was punctual at 5:42pm!!! At 5:45pm, Sarge (COBC) Dann started the 'show'!! We had group sex trx... Team Alpha that comprised of the Delta & Strong Seals began with back workout with the TRX! Okay.. rewind abit.. was abit excited with adrenaline overdose!!

Session began with the conventional warming up and stretching which I was peeping to find Ankur Pandey whom was always at the 'other' end but he was missing!! along with the UNCLE JOHN CHUAH!!! I told ya.... whenever the 2 J's.. James Fong and Joe Liew is around.. Uncle John Chuah will happily overshot in wonderland. Then I peeped for a Mohamad Fazli's 'BICYCLE'.. also was missing with John Chuah and Ankur Pandey. With the 2 J's, I quietly went to Seal but was caught by Sarge (COBC) Dann!! ARMIN GO BACK TO DELTA WITH JAMES!! Alamak!!

The platoon was divided into 3 sections, team Alpha, Bravo and Charlie and Team Alpha began with the TRX for 100 repetitions led by Sarge (COBC) Dann!!! Team Bravo with Corporal (COBC) Tom and Team Charlie had Corporal (COBC) Chun!!!

EVERYTHING TODAY was for nothing less than 100 repetitions.. why??? err... why not? but why else.. it was purely to get some multiple gratification... aka multiple orgasm! How? by igniting all the major muscles in the body!! The TRX first focused on the upper back muscle with 100 repetitions, then we went to Corporal (COBC) Tom to workout the Deltoid aka Shoulder for 100 repetitions too with Mock Rifle!!! Then we went to Corporal (COBC) Chun for the killer leg..... ONE HUNDRED REPETITIONS too before a short burst of 150 meter walking sprinting!! and we went back for the TRX for 100 repetition of bicep workout and ran to Corporal Tom for 100 repetition of another deltoid workout and went to Corporal Chun for .. uWaa... 100 repetitions of LEG!! I asked Corporal (COBC) Chun for some discount but this Korean celebrity look Malaysian instructor worked out with me instead making sure my forms and counting were perfect. After the 100 reps, we sprinted and went to Sarge (COBC) Dann for killer 100 reps of Killer Abs workout!! My favourite!! Corporal (COBC) Tom continue to raped our shoulder with yet another 100 reps for Deltoid.

Everything went on for a few sets of each circuit with a different muscle group being worked out. Shortly later, Sarge (COBC) Dann cried out, Kenix Lim & Leesa Tan, you may go now..???!! haaa.. the two babes was given 15 minutes discount? not fair!

The funniest feedback received today was from Colin Chong Wern Loong...

Today's Centurian was really unexpected but that is what COBC is all about.. the unexpected!! With all the 100 repetitions I cannot help but to I feel abit like.. err.. Brad Pitt?

HOOYAH!!!

COBC 4/12: ALL IN A DAY...

Nothing starts the day better than a damn good workout in the morning!!! If you don't believe me.. than ask... err me!! bluwek.. But seriously, the best stimulant to ignite the day is a hot juicy calorie free Adrenaline and a good pouring sweat with a bunch of lunatics recruits. When I saw Kenix Lim and Leesa Tan this morning.. I know we will be in trouble! When I saw Uncle John Chuah in Vibram 5 finger.. I know its a disaster! When I did not see James Fong & Chan Meng Yam.. I knew its a confirmed trouble! No wonder Ankur Pandey is always forever with the ladies.. he got that extra motivation!! Maybe I should try his technique on Friday. The ratio at COBC gentlemen:ladies at 1:4 speaks for it self.... There are more ladies than men at the COBC... At COBC.. men is like.... special edition? hahahaa Once at BU-Bravo platoon, Raja Affandi Jamaludin was the only 'rose' amongst the torns! but he blends in well with his hair longer than the majority of the ladies.

And there is no better instructor to make us run than Corporal (COBC) Chun!!! and Sarge (COBC) Dann!!! Sarge (COBC) Dann is like a German Shephard... when he chase you...... you better start praying!!! I saw how Rienna Choo & Freda Liu run like a walk in the park while Dr Malek Aziz and my heart almost popped out! Shear Ling Toh too!!! Was flying but all those recruit could not rival the chief warga emas Uncle John Chuah. I think it must be his Vibram 5 finger.. but he was flying too fast.

ITS PARTY TIME!!!!

Within less than a month, COBC recruits conquered the Berlin Intertnational Marathon... conquered the River Kwai, Thailand International Marathon, conquered the Mount Kinabalu and conquered the heart of another recruit with a marriage proposal. Recently too, we conquered our will power to enroll, attend and never give up during our training sessions at the oldest military inspired bootcamp in the whole wide world. This must be celebrated with at least a Makansutra feast!! I mean.. a get-together and what better theme to choose than Halloween!! WHy.. because deep down.. we are all hantu!! Hantu durian, hantu cendol, hantu yada yada ....

Then again... As Dr Malek Aziz always say... who needs a reason to partay?!! Lets just party!!! Past, presents, future recruits, if you havent registered for the party!! Please click HERE now!! When?

When?

It ranges from losing a challenging weight and fat to becoming competitive athlete in various fields from national gymnast, divers, runners to car racing.

and Of course, they were in Malaysia News!!

 We also have many recruits whom joined us (and still strong with us) to conquer the Mount Kinabalu and yes recently another group conquered the highest peak in the South East Asia. Join us in Congratulating Lorrine C. Xavier and Colin Chong Wern Loong.

COBC: OCT 3/12 RELAYS RUN RAGGED

Historic... arrived so early at 5:38am.. damn!! ...err Pheww!! Stoppedby 7/11 store and bought some sweets (in case of hypoglycemic) but hoping to give some late-comers-angpaw-punishment to fellow BU-Alpha comrades but it didn't workout. At 5:40am, Sarge Dann called all recruits for a roll-call and somehow, either it was too dark or my eye was playing trick but I did not see John Chuah.. I think we can now crown him the FFK-King but the alternate-King James Fong was present!! With Yam Chan SiuCheh... Waa.. alongside Otai Rienna Choo, Otai freda Liu and dozens of others. Our 8WC Challenger Mohamad Fazli is the biggest Loser thusfar!! I mean biggest weight loser!! Others were gaining momentum too. Even the instructors were looking leaner and meaner! Speaking of which, today Sarge (COBC) Dann was assisted by Corporal (COBC) Tom and Lance Corp (COBC) Suresh for the Relay Run Ragged circuit!! So we had 3 in a team relay and the sub-two-hour 21km runner James Fong must be in my team Grrr... but fortunately we had a doctor in the house!! Dr Malek Aziz was the third member in our team.

With Dr Malek Aziz in Point-A, me at Point C, the third team-mate James Fong had to sprint from point A to Point B and while the runner sprinted, those at Point-A and Point-B performed stationary workout.

The stationary workout focuses on Back muscle, Shoulder, legs and Abs. There were 12 different workout prepared for Point A and Point C while the sprinting was alternated with Bear Crawl, Long Jump and hop. This was the second time I wore my suede leather Vibram five finger to bootcamp and I have to be honest.... VFF was made for bootcamp!! Damn good shoe..

THE CAMBODIA SAGA... UNTOLD STORY PART 1

I have been keeping abreast of the Cambodia latest scandal unveiled when Senate President Samdech Akka Moha Thomak Photisal Chea Sim's Chief of Body Guard was detained for illegal possession of arms. Further to that, two of the Senate President's Advisers were arrested together with a former Cabinet member and the latest arrest of the Samdech President's Chief of Protocol. Observing the so called 'Freedom of Press' in Cambodia especially from the Cambodia Daily, the paper that pride itself for reporting "All News Without fear and favor" as its tagline, I could not help but to think of a similar tagline maybe for..... err the Malay Mail? ...Datuk Ahirudin Atan alias Rocky Bru? We have been denying to comment on any media although the Cambodia Daily and Phnom Pehn Post had both written to me but since the facts of the story was twisted of sort and to some extend manipulated ("Freedom of Press?"), I have to correct some facts (at least from a foreign investor's point of view) from that written in both media.

1) Letter of Award issued to our company was not a fraud.  It was signed under the Senate's letterhead, signed by the Senate President and sealed with the Senate's Red emblem. As stated in the Court report (referred to the Cambodia Daily), the Senate President was tricked to signed the Letter of Award by its most trusted Generals, Adviser, Chief Protocol or whoever. Whether he was tricked or otherwise, who would question the authenticity of any document signed by the Country's Senate President especially when the Senate is the Upper House of the Parliament (in Cambodia) with legislative power (see write-up below or click here for more information on the Senate of Cambodia) as oppose to Malaysia, which the Upper House only review legislatures passed by Parliament. The Letter of Award is as good as any other contract. (CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE)

COBC: OCT 2/12 - PB!

Personal Best PB @ 55 minutes !! Excellent achievement!! It was first 1 hour 35 minutes, then 1 hour 15 minutes and so forth and today beat my own record in High Intensity Interval Cleaning (HIIC)!! Aye aye.. yes... 4000 sq ft (ground floor only) vacuum & mop, throw all rubbish from all rooms, wash the dishes, 2 loads of  laundry wash & dry-up, make up beds, wash the toilet, make fresh vegetable juice and shower!! So wonderful is life without maid.. Raja Affandi dont laugh! Such is Morning routine on non-bootcamp days!! Morning HIIC .. early cardio! 515 calories burn without any 30 seconds break at all.

This could not rival but suffice as a recovery workout from the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP training program. Yesterday's 1st session after Monday's benchmark assessment was exhilarating!! Too good but the cost of being absent from a few sessions of bootcamping (due to travelling) is the overall aching especially the chest, legs, shoulder and abs from yesterday TABATA!! TERBAKAR!!! and GRINDERS!!

Coincidentally, while blogging on this whole body aching pain, an email came in from bootcamp comrade Tricia Ling whom is enjoying the same aches that was probably due to the lack of past exercising. What did we do? We had the leaner and more toned (Waaaa lawan tokey!!) Sarge Dann and Corporal Tom as our instructors!! After a heart-exploding (yes thats how it felt like after missing bootcamp for a week) warm up, our platoon was divided into team Alpha and team Bravo. I was sandwich by Super Seal Uncle John Chuah and Alice, and was facing Shear Ling Toh whom was on the opposite rank with Taj Mahal, Adibah Mohamad. Mohamad Fazli whom has lost 6kg from the 8WC was in my team too and was beside Farhanah Bamadhaj.

ITS BEEN A YEAR!! .... WITHOUT HER!

Last year on 21 September 2010 I ended my 20 years of relationship with her... of course I blogged about it at HERE but never did I thought that it was possible because we were so attached!!! I would have her the soonest I woke up, immediately after food, while drinking, before sleep, at work!!! in the Car!!! at the hotel, home, by the swimming pool, on the rooftop, on the couch, sofa, dining table, kitchen table.. anywhere was good!! Such was life with cigarette but really... life is so much better without Her!! Infact, I seriously could not imagine how I can smoke 3 packs a day before!

I quit smoking with Azhar Sulaiman!! and along the way, the smoke-free-bandwagon grEw bigger with Kamsani Ahmad, Joe Liew Law Yoong, Zaiem Razak, Shear Ling Toh, John Chuah, James Fong and a few others. Unfortunately... they all quit the smoking-free instead. Everyone went back to their Ciggie!!

CAMBODIA DAILY

Four top officials in Cambodia Senate President Samdech Akka Moha Thomak Pothisal Cheasim inner circle was arrested and reference was made to my blog in the Cambodia Daily (see picture below).

My picture with the Senate President Samdech Akka Moha Thomak Pothisal Chea Sim too was published in the Cambodia english media. Further to that, a few emails was send by James Welsh, the Managing Editor of the Cambodia Daily which I am not at liberty to reply to avoid any misunderstanding, misrepresentation and/or to avoid interfering with an ongoing investigation.

However, pursuant to various communication with the Cambodia Senate officials, we were confirmed that  the four Top Senior Officials arrested WERE NOT arrested for any investment involving our company and we are not aware nor are we the Malaysian company that had invested the USD$500million in the alleged scandal.
