Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Top 10 Dangerous Cities In The World

Making a top of the most dangerous cities in the world is not an easy task, the lists change year after year. Some time ago, Chicago was, and still is considered the world’s crime capital. But let’s face it, just because Chicago has an interesting crime history and something that looks like a proneness to violence, there are other cities in this world that are basically imbued in constant acts of crime. There are cities out there which can scare even the most spectacular team of super heroes and if you think the Expendables can take a quiet walk in the park in some of these towns, think again! Today we will see (from the distance, as nobody dares to travel in those virtually war zones) the top ten most dangerous cities in the world.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Top 10 Dangerous Cities In The World
1. San Pedro Sula – Honduras
It takes first place as the crime rate was established at 169 deaths at 100.000 inhabitants. Despite the touristic attractions, Honduras is a dangerous country and San Pedro Sula is not something we’d visit without the Terminator (Arnie’s version to be exact) to tag along.
dangerous cities
2. Ciudad Huarez – Mexico
It is not a myth in Hollywood movies that Mexico is that type of country you should visit only if you have a weapons’ permit and some shooting skills. Full of cultural attractions, with a history and surrounding legends that appeal to everybody, Mexico loses a lot of attention and potential touristic development due to the violence it is characterized by. Ciudad Huarez isn’t the first time when makes the top ten list of the most dangerous cities in the world, as drug traffic and gang wars are current news.

Hitler's Escape


According the official public record, Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker as allied troops stormed Berlin at the end of World War II. 

But no one actually saw him die. No body was ever produced. No photographs were ever taken. 

Some believe Hitler managed to escape, and for years there were sightings of the former dictator in many parts of the world. 

Then, in the 1990s the Russians revealed secret evidence taken from Hitler's bunker decades earlier that they said proved he had died there. Among 
the evidence is a piece of skull. 

This video evidence for testing and the results are startling.

KTM Track removal begins. Pictures 2

Demolition workers began cutting up the steel rails and digging up 
the railway sleepers at the Bukit Timah KTM railway station.

The contractors expect to remove about 1km of the steel rails each day, but it will take longer to excavate the gravel - nearly 1m deep in some areas - and remove the sleepers and tracks.

Post-Bersih 2.0 Rally, Here Are The Winners - Part 3

Kerajaan Rakyat Photos and Video on Bersih 2.0

Now that the rally is over and the government-controlled media started spinning stories in an attempt for damage-control, who’re the winners and losers post Bersih 2.0 rally? As expected both Malaysian Government and Bersih claim victories. Maybe it’s true that there’re no losers and everyone is a winner.

First Winner – Bersih 2.0

Arrogance is addictive, so I suppose PM Najib felt how his predecessor, former PM Abdullah Badawi, was feeling when Badawi thought he was invincible when confronted with peoples rally back in 2007. If only Najib took the different route and allows these people to march peacefully and hand-over whatever their petitions to the King, he would not have to worry about the post-rally effects now. With a record-breaking 1,667 people arrested, including 151 women and 16 children, 1 death due to tear-gas paid by taxpayers money and international coverage from CNN to Al-Jazeera on police’s brutality, Najib administration should be shivering in fears instead of still boasting about his ability to mobilize so-called 3 million UMNO members for a similar rally.

My driver was anxiously telling me how he evaded the road block on his way to pick me up at the airport, on the eve of Bersih 2.0′s July 9 rally. Before I can start telling him about my trip to Hong Kong and the wonderful foods that I had, he told me not to worry because he would use another route to send me home. Obviously he wasn’t listening and didn’t care about my Hong Kong trip and who could blame him when almost every Tom, Dick and his dog were affected (and excited) about the Bersih 2.0 rally, one way or another.
It seems the Malaysian police received tips that thousands of stubborn supporters would somehow invade the capital city Kuala Lumpur from the country’s international airport, hence the road-block – how stupid can that be. I told my driver I was thinking about staying put in Hong Kong to help the number (of Bersih 2.0 Hong Kong version) since Kuala Lumpur was literally paralysed due to the police lockdown as if the city was infected by some sort of virus. But my driver said the most electrifying moment only happen in the city so I should come back to experience it, whatever that means.

The Asian Century?

Stephen Roach, former economist for Morgan Stanley, now non-executive Chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia. 

If China is important - and it is - it makes sense to look at the situation clearly without slogans and preconceptions. 

Take away: China is by no means guaranteed endless growth. In fact, its period of rapid growth may be over.

The Assassination of John Lennon

1980 - America starts its remilitarization campaign

Before Grenada, before Panama, before Yugoslavia, before Iraq, before Afghanistan, before Pakistan...

Before the US population had been re-militarized after Vietnam...

John Lennon, the highest profile, most outspoken opponent of US wars, was shot dead on his door step just weeks after George Bush Sr. was elected President (Vice President under a senile figure head.)
