THURSDAY JOKES -332

 

Pitas, Sabah, Malaysia

I am in the chemist lab and I said to the assistant, “What gets rid of germs?”
She said, “Ammonia cleaner.”
I said, “Oh sorry, I thought you worked here…”

 

One day St. Peter saw a street gang walking up to the Pearly Gates.
St. Peter ran to God and said, “God, there are some low-life street gang members at the Gates. What do I do?”
God relied, “Just do what you normally do with that type. Redirect them.”

St. Peter went back to carry out the order but he suddenly came running back and yelling, “God, God, they’re gone! They’re gone!”

“The street gangs?”
“No, the Pearly Gates!”

 

If a woman says she’ll be ready in 15 minutes, she will be…

There’s no need to remind her every hour!

 

Doctor: What’s wrong with your brother?
Boy: He thinks he is a chicken.
Doctor: Really? How long has this been going on?
Boy: Five years.
Doctor: Five years!

Boy: We would have brought him in earlier but we needed the eggs!

 

One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner were seated waiting for the pilot to show up so they could get under way.
The pilot and the co-pilot finally appeared in the rear of the plane and began walking up to the cockpit through the centre aisle. Both appeared to be blind; the pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle. The co-pilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with sunglasses.
At first, the passengers did not react thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. After a few minutes though, the engines started revving, and the airplane began moving down the runway.
The passengers looked at each other with some uneasiness. They started whispering among themselves and looked desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance.

Yet, the plane started accelerating rapidly and the people began panicking. Some passengers were praying and as the plane got closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices were becoming more and more hysterical.

When the plane had less than twenty feet of runway left, there was a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screamed at once. At the very last moment, the plane lifts off and is airborne.

Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot breathes a sigh of relief and tells the pilot: “You know, one of these days the passengers aren’t going to scream and we aren’t going to know when to take off!”


Because of a dense fog, a steamboat had to stop at the mouth of the river. A passenger demanded to know the cause of the delay.
“Can’t see up the river,” the harassed captain replied. “Fog’s too thick.”
“But I can see the stars overhead,” the passenger said.

“Yes,” the captain growled, “but unless the engines explode, we’re not going that way!”

A man was lying in bed with his new girlfriend. After making love, she spent the next hour just rubbing his private part … something she just loved to do.
As he was enjoying it, he turned and asked her, “Why do you love doing that?”

“Because,” she replied … “I really miss mine!”

So, they ask me, would you like to answer your secret security password question?

I think, oh yeah, I can surely answer a question posed by a slightly younger me!

A man had been drinking at the bar for hours when he mentioned something about his girlfriend being out in the car.
The bartender, concerned because it was so cold, went to check on her. When he looked inside the car, he saw the drunk’s buddy, Pete, and the man’s girlfriend kissing in the back seat. The bartender shook his head and walked back inside. He told the drunk that he thought it might be a good idea to check on his girlfriend.
The drunk staggered outside to the car, saw Pete and his girlfriend kissing, then walked back into the bar, laughing.
“What’s so funny?” the bartender asked.
“That darned Pete!” the drunk chortled. “He’s so drunk, he thinks he’s me!”

A merchant captain and several of his officers were returning to the ship after an evening onshore.
As they climbed the gangway the captain threw up all over himself.
Pointing to an apprentice seaman above him he shouted, “Give that man five days in the brig for vomiting!”
The following morning the captain was checking the log and saw that the young seaman had been sentenced to ten days and asked the chief-mate why.

“Well Sir, when we undressed you, we found that he had also shit in your pants!”

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 — A former Lembaga Tabung Haji chief operating officer is expected to be charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court tomorrow.

The Star reported that a court e‑filing entry lists Datuk Adi Azuan Abdul Ghani as scheduled to appear before Sessions Court judge Awang Kerisnada Awang Mahmud at 9am on September 3.

The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji previously identified Adi Azuan among five senior officers subjected to disciplinary proceedings, noting that an initial proposal to dismiss four of them was later revised to demotions.

The Malaysian Anti‑Corruption Commission (MACC) has opened 14 investigation papers following the RCI’s findings on mismanagement at the agency.

MACC said it has arrested 17 individuals to date, with 10 suspects remanded as part of the ongoing probe.

The arrests include a former Tabung Haji investment director, the director of Putrajaya Perdana, the former director of Putra Perdana Construction, the former Tabung Haji chairman, the chief executive officer of Alam Maritim and a former federal minister.  - malaymail

US energy secretary oversees signing of Trump’s ‘biggest’ oil deal in Venezuela

CARACAS:
US energy secretary Chris Wright oversaw Wednesday the signing of deals worth “tens of billions of dollars” between Venezuela and oil majors Chevron and ENI as well as with energy company GE Vernova.

Speaking alongside interim president Delcy Rodriguez, Wright said the eight deals signed represented “tens of billions of dollars of investment” and were “critical in starting this ball rolling of peace, opportunity, and prosperity” for Venezuelans.

He added that ramping up energy production was “the catalyst for transforming Venezuela” and for “improving the life conditions of Americans, the hemisphere and everyone in the world”.

Echoing US President Donald Trump, he referred to Latin America as “our neighborhood”.

Wright’s visit had been expected to focus on finalising a controversial oil deal granting the US control of about one-fifth of Venezuela’s huge reserves.

But Rodriguez suggested that deal had already been concluded on Aug 28, the day it was announced by Trump with great fanfare.

The Republican leader had billed the deal giving the US a chunk of Venezuela’s oil wealth as the “biggest oil deal in world history”.

Rodriguez said Wednesday she hoped that “the major agreement signed on Aug 28 between Venezuela and the United States for the production of 65 billion barrels of oil currently in reserve” would “translate into benefits for the people of the United States.”

The deals signed at the Miraflores presidential palace will see US company Chevron and Italy’s ENI ramp up their operations in Venezuela.

Chevron had earlier valued its deal to develop two additional oil fields in Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt at US$7 billion and said it expected to more than double output in five years.

ENI said it had gained exclusive rights to explore the giant Junin 5 oil field.

US energy company GE Vernova, an offshoot of General Electric, meanwhile will help revitalize Venezuela’s battered electricity sector. - FMT

Optics of non-face blurring, handcuffed Jamil Khir’s grin in orange garb; UMNO grassroots fuming

 

MAINSTREAM New Straits Times somehow broke away from the long-held tradition of blurring the faces of remand suspects by both ‘exposing’ the face and name of former religious affairs minister (April 2009 to May 2018) Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom when the latter was brought to the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Sept 2).

As national news agency Bernama upheld the legal presumption of innocence before a formal court conviction with a generalised “TH RCI: Former Minister Remanded for Five Days” the English daily boldly headlined the court appearance as “Five-Day Remand for Jamil Khir in TH RCI Probe”.

On top of that, NST’s coverage of the grinning 65-year-old former Jerai MP from the moment of his arrival at 10.26am till his five-day remand order (till Sunday) to assist investigations into a hotel lease matter involving Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) in Saudi Arabia was issued by Magistrate Ezrene Zakariah, was even extended to YouTube.

Editor’s Note: Apparently, Chinese dailies, too, rarely abide by the face-blurring rule as exposed by Madani keyboard warrior Jason Yew.

Jamil Khir who was clad in an orange lock-up garb and handcuffed was arrested around 4.30pm on Tuesday (Sept 1) after appearing at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to have his statement recorded.

His case is being investigated under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009 which pertains to soliciting or receiving gratification as an inducement or reward in a transaction.

The offence is punishable under Section 24 of the same Act by up to a 20-year jail term and a fine of at least five times the value of the gratification involved, or RM10,000 whichever is higher upon conviction.

Jamil Khir’s remand order follows that of high-profile former TH chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim and ex-treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah who were both remanded for seven days on Aug 26 to assist investigations into issues linked to the TH Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report.

UMNO, BN backers unsettled

Elsewhere, UMNO grassroots are seemingly aggrieved with the series of arrest with pro-Madani political site Unofficial Info exposing such disgruntlement from a post in Friends of BN Facebook page claiming that Azeez Rahim had been released “because there was no case” prior to questioning the MACC’s action against Jamil Khir.

Moreover, the post further lamented that the action was just a “drama to tarnish the image of the UMNO leadership” and suggested that the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-led Madani government be sued.

This led to Unofficial Info mocking the “over-passionate” Barisan Nasional (BN)/UMNO grassroots for “turning everything into a political conspiracy”.

“Remand is not a conviction. Being released from remand is not an automatic certificate that there is no case,” explained the poster.

“Investigation, decision to prosecute and court process are different matters. Even a political page (like Friends of BN) has to attend a basic law class alongside netizens. ðŸ˜‚

Such observation is spot on given another BN fan page also queried the optics of “both Jamil Khir and Azeez Rahim having to be handcuffed like criminals”.

“What perception is (the Madani government) trying to show?” berated one presumably UMNO grassroot member.

More arrests underway

Public perception or otherwise, MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman has made it clear that several individuals previously detained in connection with investigations into the TH Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) will be charged in court today (Sept 3) and tomorrow (Friday).

“The two charges involve abuse of power under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009 and Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating,” he told a press conference at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya yesterday (Sept 2).

It was understood that the charges will be filed in courts in Shah Alam, Kuala Lumpur and Kelantan.

“There is also another investigation paper that will be referred to the Attorney-General (AG) with charges expected to be filed next week following the MACC’s latest investigation into a property lease issue involving the Al Rawda investment, namely hotel leases in Mecca and Medina involving 2.49 bil Saudi riyals (RM2.66 bil),” contended Halim.

The graft buster boss also did not rule out further charges against prominent individuals stemming from the hotel-lease investigation.

On the overall, the MACC had opened 14 investigation papers related to the RCI, four of which had been classified as no further action (NFA).

“So far, 18 individuals have been detained, 11 of whom were remanded while 245 witnesses have been called and 60 premises searched and inspected to obtain relevant documents,” revealed Halim.

The 11 individuals remanded included a former CEO and a former CFO of TH Plantation; a former director of Putra Perdana Construction; a former director of Putrajaya Perdana Bhd; and a former Tabung Haji chairman. – Focus Malaysia
